Netanyahu's political survival on the line as Israel votes
Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported19h ago
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a critical test of his political survival in Israel's parliamentary election on Tuesday. Voters are weighing his leadership following the 2023 Hamas-led attacks, ongoing conflicts in Gaza and with Iran, and the country's deepening international isolation.
Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving leader with 19 years in office, is campaigning heavily on his wartime leadership and his strategic alliance with US President Donald Trump, who has endorsed him and joined Israel's war on Iran. He faces a close electoral race against a rival political alliance led by former military chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot.
