Netanyahu campaigns to consolidate right-wing bloc ahead of Israel's October 27 election
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is working to unify right-wing factions and finalize Likud's Knesset slate ahead of Israel's October 27, 2026 election. He faces multiple challenges including a report that the UAE president warned him of Hamas's intentions before October 7, Western trade restrictions on settlements, and the risk that the right-wing bloc falls below 61 seats. Netanyahu has pressured smaller right-wing parties to merge while some refused, potentially wasting votes.
