🧵below of our initial thoughts following today's Israeli exit polls. We'll be sharing additional commentary as the political picture becomes clearer in the days ahead. #IsraelElections #Israel #IsraelElection
Three Israeli exit polls suggest that Binyamin Netanyahu has lost the confidence of Israeli voters, his coalition bloc losing over 25% of its seats. We congratulate the Israelis who've been battling against authoritarianism since January 2023. 1/ nytimes.com/live/2026/10/27/…

We also congratulate Israel's Arab community, which turned out to vote in huge numbers, even though Arab citizens have been denied equal inclusion in Israel's political process. The opportunity to rectify that is here. 4/

Our ED Iky Salinas is at the kalfi, an Israeli polling station, exercising his right to vote in what some are saying are the most consequential elections in Israel's history. We await a hopefully positive outcome of a not-to-be-taken-for-granted electoral process. #Israelelection

Netanyahu's govt "has worked tirelessly to further the occupation and oppression of Palestinians," writes Haaretz EiC Aluf Benn. A PM Eisenkot will need to change policy rather than skirt the Palestinian issue, as he has done during the campaign. haaretz.com/west-bank/2026-1…

"Violence erodes the basis of democracy," PM Yitzhak Rabin declared in his final speech. "It must be condemned and isolated. In a democracy there can be differences, but the final decision will be taken in democratic elections." aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/isr…
