Israelis will vote on Tuesday, October 27, in parliamentary elections that are seen as a referendum on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These will be the first elections since the attack by the Palestinian movement Hamas on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent conflicts in the Gaza Strip and with Iran and Hezbollah. BBC World ↗
The pre-election situation points to a close race. A survey of 4,000 Israelis showed that Netanyahu's right-wing bloc will likely not win the majority needed to stay in power. The outcome could therefore be decided by smaller parties, including Arab political groupings, which could hold a decisive position after the elections in forming a parliamentary majority. BBC News ↗
One of the main topics of the campaign is the causes and consequences of the Hamas attack. Voters are primarily concerned with security failures, the further course of the conflicts, and the deepening divisions within Israeli society. Netanyahu's government has rejected calls to establish a commission of inquiry to examine the circumstances of the attack. svet.sme.sk ↗
The prime minister himself has accused the security services of not waking him earlier on the day of the attack. His political rivals claim that the government must bear responsibility for the security failures and for the decisions made after the attack. teraz.sk ↗
The outcome of the elections will determine whether Netanyahu's government continues, the composition of the coalition, and the future direction of Israel's security policy. If his bloc fails to win a majority, negotiations on forming a new government could prove complicated. Independent ↗
