Israel is going back to the polls again for the fourth time in two years. The Israeli political quagmire continues and based on recent polling the electorate seemingly continues to take a clear right of center swing. The next government will almost certainly reflect that trend. While there is no possibility for a center left government, a religious right government also does not appear likely due to the growing anti-Netanyahu sentiment on the right. Both Naftali Bennett and Gideon Saar have clearly stated that they will not sit with Benjamin Netanyahu.

With the collapse of their national unity government, Israel was propelled into its fourth general election in two years. It will occur on March 23, amid a lingering coronavirus pandemic which has devastated the economy and killed 3,141 Israelis.

What happened: The Knesset was automatically dissolved at midnight last night as the government missed its deadline to pass a budget. The election will be held on March 23, 2021.
Both coalition partners blamed each other and traded recriminations. Prime Minister Netanyahu said, “This is an erroneous decision on Blue and White’s behalf, but if they force these elections on us, I promise you we will win. With your help, the people of Israel, Likud will bring a huge win.” Netanyahu added: “I’m not afraid of elections… The Israeli public knows who has delivered millions vaccines, four peace agreements, who is stopping Iran, who has delivered security and who is going to rehabilitate the economy with greater momentum.”
