The parliamentary elections in Israel will be held on Tuesday, October 27, the first in the country since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's continued presence in power faces competition from moderate rivals. Voting will take place from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and after the polls close, the results of the exit polls will be published. The final counting of votes is likely to be completed by October 30 and the official results will be announced on November 4. The Knesset has 120 seats, and parties must win at least 3.25 percent of the votes to enter it. About 12 parties can pass this quorum. After the announcement of the results, Israeli President Yitzhak Herzog will consult with the leaders of the parties and appoint a person to form a government. This person has a maximum of 42 days to form a coalition. Because no party has won an outright majority on its own, coalition negotiations could take weeks. If attempts to form a government fail, more elections are likely. Read the full report on the Iran International website.
