October 28, 2026 ~ Deadline Detroit Columnist, Doron Levin, joins Chris Renwick and Lloyd Jackson to talk about yesterday’s elections in Israel. Did they go smoothly? And who has been declared the winner?
JERUSALEM ~ Israelis are awaiting the final outcome of a closely watched election after no political bloc secured the 61 seats needed to form a majority government in the country’s 120-seat parliament. With no clear winner emerging, coalition negotiations are expected to determine who will form Israel’s next government.
For many voters, the election was about issues beyond individual candidates, including national security, military service and Israel’s future direction. As coalition talks begin, communities across Israel are watching closely to see what comes next for the country’s government and its role in the region.
