Israelis headed to the polls Tuesday in a high-stakes national election widely framed as a direct referendum on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security strategy and political legacy.
As the country casts ballots in its first national vote since the October 7 attacks, voters are deciding the balance of power in the 120-seat Knesset.
With Israeli political history dictates that no single party ever secures an outright 61-seat majority, the vote initiates a contentious push for coalition building.
The election serves as a critical test of whether Netanyahu can assemble a governing majority amid unprecedented domestic pressures and security challenges.
