How does this resolve if the election results in his party losing #1 spot, but the coalition negotiations are not concluded by the end of the year (very likely scenario)? Previous PM Bennett became a PM with a tiny fraction of votes, so Netanyahu in theory could continue being a PM even if he lost the election.

@JosephS If he is no longer PM then he’s out of office. If he loses election but is still PM then he’s still in office.
