Netanyahu / Right-Religious Bloc
Likud’s traditional coalition partners: the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) parties, and the religious-Zionist and far-right parties. This bloc governed Israel from 2022 until the 25th Knesset’s dissolution in July 2026, but lost its Haredi partners’ formal support during 2025 over the military draft-exemption dispute.
