The 2021 Israeli elections were held on March 23, marking the fourth election in two years. The elections aimed to resolve a political deadlock that had resulted from previous elections, with no party able to form a stable government. The main contenders included Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of the Likud party, and Yair Lapid from the Yesh Atid party. Ultimately, no party gained a clear majority, leading to ongoing negotiations and coalition talks among various parties to establish a functioning government.
