Israel's parliamentary elections today may end Benjamin Netanyahu's nearly 20-year rule. Opposition leaders have united against him, and many Israelis from the diaspora returned to vote. Polls indicate a tight race between the coalition and opposition. Netanyahu's campaign focuses on countering Iran, with U.S. support for potential military action. Five opposition leaders signed a non-aggression pact to avoid attacking each other during the campaign. Approximately 67,000 Jews traveled to Israel to vote, despite Netanyahu's party contesting the initiative encouraging diaspora voting. Polls suggest neither coalition will achieve a parliamentary majority. Netanyahu has warned of an imminent nuclear threat from Iran, using AI-generated imagery to emphasize his point, while also showcasing his connection with Trump through a TikTok video.
