Israelis are voting Tuesday in parliamentary elections, the first since the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023. By 4:00 p.m., 55.7 percent of eligible voters had cast their ballots, representing one of the highest turnouts in decades. Polling stations reported long lines. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his main opposition challenger Gadi Eisenkot have already voted in Jerusalem. Netanyahu urged Israelis to choose "correctly," while Eisenkot spoke of the possibility of political change. Eisenkot leads the opposition camp seeking to end Netanyahu's long-standing dominance and that of his Likud party with its right-wing allies. aktuality.sk ↗
Eisenkot's party accused the prime minister of preparing to challenge the results in the event of an unfavorable outcome. Netanyahu, in turn, claimed that Arab parties are trying to "steal" the election. The Central Elections Committee rejected his claim. The dispute is taking place against a backdrop of growing criticism of Israel's conduct in the war in the Gaza Strip and of violence and settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank. Le Figaro ↗
The outcome may be decided by the balance of power between the main blocs and the Arab parties. Difficult coalition negotiations are expected after the election, and according to estimated scenarios, a stalemate or even a minority government cannot be ruled out. Spiegel.de ↗
