Preliminary counts indicated that the opposition bloc held about 67 seats in the 120-member Knesset, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition secured roughly 53, making the composition of the next government unclear. Earlier exit polls had projected the Democrats, led by Yair Golan, to win nine to ten seats, and Democratic Party lawmakers subsequently called for a coalition with the Arab Ra'am party. Arab parties, meanwhile, secured a record 18-19 seats, a development that Balad party head Sami Abu Shehadeh denounced as racist for being excluded from coalition talks, further complicating Netanyahu's path to a majority.

Résumé

The claim that Israeli Arab parties won 18 seats in the Knesset on October 28, 2026, was partially confirmed. The statement that Balad party head Sami Abu Shehadeh described the refusal to include Arab parties in a governing coalition as racist was also partially confirmed. Claims regarding Democratic lawmakers urging cooperation with the Arab party Ra'am after the election, preliminary counts showing the opposition bloc with about 67 seats versus Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition with around 53 seats on October 29, 2026, and exit polls indicating Yair Golan's Democrats could win nine to ten seats in the 120-member Knesset on October 27, 2026, all had insufficient evidence.
