**Divergent coalition strategies and stalled merger talks between Benny Gantz’s Blue and White and the Zionist Home–The Reservists alliance, formed by former Blue and White MK Hili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel, have driven trader consensus toward a separate run.** Negotiations collapsed over key sticking points, including willingness to partner with Haredi parties in a future government and differing priorities on mandatory conscription versus broader unity arrangements.

Elections for the Knesset of Israel are scheduled to be held on October 27, 2026. Final candidate lists are currently scheduled to be submitted to the Central Elections Committee of Israel by September 8, 2026.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if Zionist Home and Blue and White contest the 2026 Knesset elections as a combined party list, as submitted to the Central Elections Committee. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
A list on which candidates from both parties appear will count regardless of the name under which that list runs, regardless of whether the arrangement is a technical bloc or a full merger of their parties, and regardless of the positions the candidates occupy on the list.
If candidates of neither party appear on any list submitted to contest the 2026 Knesset elections, this market will resolve to “No”.
Statements of intent, agreements in principle, and reported negotiations will not be considered; only the candidate lists as submitted to the Central Elections Committee will be considered. Withdrawals, disqualifications, and revisions made after the submission deadline will not be considered.
If the 2026 Knesset elections do not occur, or final candidate lists are not submitted, by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM Tel Aviv time, this market will resolve to “No”.
The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting. In case of ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on official information from the Central Elections Committee of Israel (https://www.bechirot.gov.il).**Divergent coalition strategies and stalled merger talks between Benny Gantz’s Blue and White and the Zionist Home–The Reservists alliance, formed by former Blue and White MK Hili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel, have driven trader consensus toward a separate run.**
