At the moment the positions of the different parties point to a slight advantage of the leader of the Blue and White party, Beny Gantz, who got more votes than current premier Benjámin Netanyahu.

Gantz, a “centrist” politician, has for the moment the support of his own party as well as the Labor Party, with 6 seats, and the Democratic Union, with 5 deputies. To these it could be added the United List, an Arab-Palestinian coalition, which won 13 seats. It is the first time since 2012 that the Palestinian bench supports a candidate for Prime Minister, a decision taken as “the most important thing is to displace Netanyahu from power,” according to its spokesman, Ayman Odeh.

Those who support Netanyahu and Likud, include the ultra-Orthodox of Shas and United Judaism for the Torah as well as the far right Yamira.

For its part, the group Israel Our Home, by Avigdor Lieberman, which has 8 representatives, has not directly supported either of the two candidates but has shown its preference for a government of national unity, Likud and Blue and White, without “extremists” included, meaning without the Palestinians, religious parties and far-right parties.

For the moment, if the support expressed is maintained, Gantz's candidacy would have 57 deputies against the 55 while supporting Netanyahu. In addition, on October 3, the Attorney General's Office will announce if it finally takes Benjamin Netanyahu to trial on corruption charges.

It is symptomatic to highlight the reiteration of Likud, Blue and White and of Israel Our Home in the proposal of a Government of "national unity", which seems to obey to the special and delicate political circumstances that the region is experiencing and Israel's repeated refusal to move towards a peace agreement with the Palestinians.
