Meir Javadenfer, an analyst on Israel issues, said that Benjamin Netanyahu still enjoys the loyal support of a significant portion of the voters despite widespread criticism of his performance. According to him, winning 27 seats for the Likud party shows that Netanyahu has a strong voter base even after the events of October 7. Javadanfar predicted that Netanyahu may use a new war against Iran to maintain power, but is unlikely to be able to form the next government. He saw Gadi Eisenkot's alliance with Arab parties as more likely and said that such an alliance, despite political difficulties, could be a historic achievement for Israel.
