Žádná strana v historii Izraele sama nezískala většinu v Knesetu. O tom, kdo se stane premiérem, proto rozhoduje hlavně schopnost sestavit vládu s dostatečnou parlamentní podporou. Průzkumy před volbami zatím přisuzují širšímu táboru stran proti Benjaminu Netanjahuovi nepatrnou převahu. Výsledky navíc může zamíchat menšina arabských voličů. Židovské bloky ale spolupráci s ní odmítají, zemi tak hrozí další politický pat.
