Israelis are voting on October 27 for a new parliament, the first election since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces strong opposition in a tight race. Polls show a close contest between Netanyahu's Likud party and a coalition of four opposition parties led by Gadi Eisenkot. Netanyahu emphasizes his military leadership and support from former President Trump, while Eisenkot criticizes him for spreading fear. The election follows significant turmoil, including the Hamas attack and subsequent military actions in Gaza and Lebanon. The outcome will determine Netanyahu's political future and the potential for coalition formation in the Knesset, with Arab voter turnout possibly influencing results. If no majority is achieved, new elections may be necessary.
