JERUSALEM, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Saturday that he will run again for prime minister in the 2026 parliamentary elections.
B. Netanyahu made this statement in an interview with the Israeli television channel Channel 14, also answering positively the question of whether he expects victory.
In the last Israeli elections in 2022, Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party won 32 of 120 seats, and 64 members of the Israeli parliament (Knesset) recommended that he form a government. Netanyahu was sworn in as prime minister in December of that year and has led a far-right coalition since then.
Netanyahu turns 76 next week. He served as Israel's prime minister from 1996 to 1999 and again from 2009 to 2021, before being ousted in June 2021 by a centrist coalition formed by Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett.
