The elections will primarily concern local and national issues, and most lists set to compete will be local.{{Citation needed|date=November 2022}}

The elections were preceded by a period of political deadlock which began in 2019 and resulted in five legislative elections over the course of three years.{{Cite web |last=Mazuz |first=Elhanan |date=31 October 2022 |script-title=he:בחירות חמישיות תוך ארבע שנים: איך הגענו לכאן? {{!}} סקירה מקיפה |url=https://www.now14.co.il/בחירות-חמישיות-תוך-ארבע-שנים-איך-הגענו/ |access-date=13 December 2022 |website=Now 14 |language=he-IL}} Several new political parties have formed since the 2018 elections, such as the National Unity Party, while existing parties with local affiliates have either lost their seats in the Knesset (such as the Jewish Home, Meretz and the Green Party), or dissolved entirely (such as Kulanu).{{Update inline|date=November 2022}}{{Citation needed|date=November 2022}}
