Israel: First exit polls show no clear winner, Arab parties make gains
The first exit polls in Israel's election, released on 27 October, show no clear winner. Arab parties appear to have made gains.
The first exit polls in Israel were released on the evening of 27 October 2026. Exit polls are surveys of voters taken as they leave polling stations. According to these early figures, no political camp has a clear lead. Until final results are known, it is unclear who could form the next government.
The early estimates also indicate that Arab parties have improved their standing in the vote. The information comes from a short France 24 video report published on 27 October at 22:41.
What is known
The available material is only a brief video with the main takeaway. It does not give exact exit poll numbers, the names of individual parties, the distribution of seats or the pollsters involved. It is therefore not possible to say how much support Arab parties received or how this might affect coalition building.
An exit poll is only a provisional estimate. Official election results may differ from it.
