When is Israel election 2026? Benjamin Netanyahu shares nuclear blast image, warns of ‘second Holocaust’ over Iran

In Israel, the general elections are taking place on Tuesday October, 27, 2026. It's the first election since the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attacks on Israel and its subsequent conflicts in Gaza and with Iran, Hezbollah and the Houthis. Polls show neither the governing coalition nor any other of the many competing parties winning enough seats in the Knesset to form a government without the need to form a coalition with other parties, according to UCLA.
