## Key points

- Netanyahu’s political fortunes endured despite expectations of defeat.
- Neither bloc has a clear path to forming a government.
- Post-attack polling had predicted a strong opposition win.

## Summary

The article says that Benjamin Netanyahu’s political position survived expectations of a major defeat in Israel’s latest election. Neither his bloc nor the opposition has a clear route to forming a government, but the result is presented as evidence of his political durability after the government failed to prevent the 7 October 2023 attacks.

Polling after the attacks suggested that the opposition would defeat Netanyahu and his Likud party, and that voters would hold his government responsible. The article frames his continued political strength as striking given those circumstances, but the supplied text provides no election results, vote totals or further details about coalition negotiations.
