An anticipated electoral earthquake: Netanyahu leads with 32 seats… Hamas poised to dominate the Legislative Council and form a coalition government with the Fatah Reformist Movement and Mustafa Barghouti.
A new poll published by Israel’s Channel 14 shows Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party leading with 32 seats, while the right-wing bloc, according to the poll, could reach 63 seats.
On the Palestinian side, attention is focused on the legislative elections scheduled for November 28, 2026, amidst extensive political activity in preparation for the electoral event. Hamas has officially announced its intention to participate in the elections, emphasizing its aim to run within a broad national coalition, not necessarily on a separate list.
Political data suggests the possibility of Hamas emerging as a major electoral force in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with the scenario of it winning a majority in the Legislative Council and forming a coalition government that includes Palestinian forces and figures, among them the Fatah Reformist Movement and the Palestinian National Initiative led by Mustafa Barghouti.
