The fourth election in just two years brought a stinging rebuke for Netanyahu, the most dominant figure in Israeli politics in a generation. Under Israel’s fragmented political system, Netanyahu could still try to reach across the aisle and cobble together a governing coalition. “It is clear that Netanyahu does not have a majority to form a government under his leadership,” said Gideon Saar, one of the former Netanyahu allies who now oppose him.

Ben Gvir has said he favors the expulsion of Arabs who are hostile to the state. In the lead-up to the election Ben Gvir sought to distance himself from Kahane's most extreme views.
