Winners without victory": How did the elections in Israel go and what to expect in the future? Student at the Higher School of Economics of the National Research University, observes Israeli politics, author of Channel 120 | Israel, parties, Knesset Gelb Holmanskich (2/2) neither the ruling bloc nor the opposition bloc has the number of votes needed to form a government. And now two scenarios are likely to be assumed: 1 Appointment of repeat elections If no one forms a government within 3 months at the most, then in six months the country will go to elections again. Except that at this time the opposition will try to make personnel changes in the Knesset with the support of Arab votes. First of all, the Speaker of the Knesset and heads of central committees will be replaced. They will also try to pass a law on a state commission to investigate the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 and others. 2 Creation of a "broad national government" In this case, Netanyahu and his current opponents will meet in one government, inclusive. Center Gadi Eisenkot. This option should prevent the Arab and ultra-Orthodox parties from increasing their influence on security and economic decisions. And it is already known that Trump really does not want to repeat Bibi's coalition with the extreme right. But whether the opposition will agree to join the government is a big question. After all, this will automatically alienate a considerable part of the electorate. In 2020, for the sake of fighting Covid, Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, his main rival of those years, united in the "government of national unity". They agreed on rotation - in the first two years Netanyahu will be prime minister, in the second two years - Gantz. But already at the beginning of 2021, the coalition collapsed due to the adoption of the budget, and Gantz never received the promised position. Now the Netanyahu government will continue to perform its duties until a new government is formed. This means that a new escalation with Iran supported by Trump is almost inevitable. This will also work for the local public, and will unite the voters around the flag and the image of Netanyahu.
