Will Benjamin Netanyahu cease to be the Prime Minister of Israel?

Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition of right-wing and religious parties has faced significant internal strain over the Gaza war, a subsequent ceasefire, and military service exemptions for ultra-Orthodox students. The government faces a critical test in passing the 2026 budget by the end of March 2026; failure to do so would trigger new elections. According to a Reuters report from November 2025, polls have consistently shown that Netanyahu would lose a snap election. His hold on power could be challenged either by the dissolution of the government or by internal political manoeuvring. Clarifications: This resolves as "Yes" if Benjamin Netanyahu ceases to hold the office of Prime Minister of Israel for any reason, including resignation, a successful no-confidence vote, the formation of a new government following an election, or death. A temporary incapacitation where an acting prime minister is appointed is not sufficient for this question to resolve. The departure must be permanent. The question resolves at the moment a successor is officially sworn in, or at the moment his departure is formally accepted or announced if no immediate successor is in place.
