Opinion polls forecast a possible election defeat, prompting Netanyahu to rally his coalition allies. Despite efforts, unity remains elusive, threatening his bid for a record seventh term.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, no single party has secured an outright majority in Israel&#8217;s Knesset. Coalition governments are customary, often involving multiple parties meeting a vote threshold. Netanyahu&#8217;s coalition, including the far-right Jewish Power and Religious Zionism parties, is crucial for maintaining his political stronghold.<\/p>\n<p>Complications arise with internal dissent and emerging political figures like former brigadier general Ofer Winter, who challenge Netanyahu&#8217;s strategy. Netanyahu&#8217;s previous victories seem distant following the 2023 Hamas attack and subsequent wars, raising voter dissatisfaction and questioning his leadership amid evolving political dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>(With inputs from agencies.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is rapidly seeking to consolidate Israel&#8217;s fractious right-wing parties ahead of looming elections.
