In his analysis for Maariv on November 6, 2026, Mati Tuchfeld argues that the left-wing political camp in Israel resorted to deceiving the public to win the election. Referring to Gadi Eisenkot's efforts to form a government, he notes that while left-wing parties campaigned against ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) parties, they are now seeking to court them to form a coalition. Tuchfeld also points to allegations by the Shin Bet and Mossad regarding the transfer of large sums of money from abroad, including Ramallah, to influence election results, criticizing the judicial system for failing to pursue these cases seriously. He suggests that if a coalition with religious parties fails, Eisenkot may turn to Arab parties, which could lead to Avigdor Liberman's withdrawal from the coalition.
