Israel's political landscape is increasingly divided into two entrenched blocs: the right-wing and religious parties supporting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and a diverse opposition united mainly by the goal of unseating him. With little crossover between the camps, weekly polls show a persistent deadlock, making it unlikely that either side will secure a clear majority in the upcoming elections. Attempts to form new parties or alliances, such as those by former prime minister Naftali Bennett or efforts to create a moderate religious Zionist party, have yet to show signs of breaking the stalemate.

Internal shifts are occurring within the blocs, with parties sharpening their identities and moving further apart ideologically. The center-left is consolidating, while Likud is being pulled further right, and the ultra-Orthodox parties remain resistant to change. Despite some leaders' willingness to consider partnerships with Arab parties, most major figures reject such cooperation, further limiting coalition options. As the political chasm widens, the prospect of another electoral deadlock looms, potentially allowing Netanyahu to remain in power as interim leader through repeated rounds of voting.
