Netanyahu's Israel policy and coalition crisis
Overview
By mid-September 2026, the conflict in Gaza intensified alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political maneuvering. Israeli military strikes in Jabalia, Rafah, Sheikh Radwan, and Mawasi resulted in further casualties, including children and high-ranking Hamas commanders Ahmad al-Batsha and Nail Abu Ubaid. Local authorities estimate Palestinian deaths in Gaza have reached 73,800.
Amidst these operations, Netanyahu officially launched his Likud party election campaign ahead of the October 27 parliamentary elections. He asserted that his leadership is vital for national security, specifically to achieve the ‘total destruction of Hamas and Hezbollah’ and the ‘downfall of the Iranian regime.’
However, Netanyahu’s political standing remains precarious. He continues to face corruption trials and recent polling indicates his Likud party is trailing the opposition led by former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot. This follows earlier assessments that 83% of respondents hold Netanyahu responsible for the failures of October 7, 2023.
