Israelis are deciding on Tuesday on the new composition of the Knesset in the first parliamentary elections since the Hamas movement's attack in October 2023. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking another term in office, but faces strong criticism and several political rivals. US President Donald Trump has once again called on Israeli voters to vote for Netanyahu. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
According to pre-election reporting, four prominent rivals are running against the 77-year-old prime minister. Among them is former Chief of the General Staff Eisenkot, who leads the Yesh Yashar! party and, according to an Italian daily, has built a lead in the polls. His camp is also considering the possibility of forming a minority government, although allies are not convinced of this option. La Repubblica ↗
Netanyahu faces criticism for refusing to establish an inquiry commission to examine the circumstances of the Hamas attack and the failures leading to the security crisis. Over the weekend, a crowd of approximately one hundred thousand gathered in Tel Aviv demanding the prime minister's departure. However, according to reports, in areas near the border with Gaza, some voters remain loyal to Netanyahu and attribute responsibility for the massacre to the army. idnes.cz ↗
Arab parties, who are trying to mobilize their voters despite pressure from Netanyahu and his allies, could play a significant role. Palestinians make up approximately a quarter of Israel's population. Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the election result will not be of fundamental importance to Tehran. The outcome of the vote and subsequent coalition negotiations will determine Israel's further political direction. France24 ↗
