Voters in Israel will decide whether to oust Netanyahu after 3 years of war

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces off against a coalition of parties seeking to oust the longtime leader from power. Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is facing a coalition of parties seeking to oust him from power in a crucial election, as Israel is embroiled in unresolved wars and deeply divided over the state's future. No single party has ever won an outright parliamentary majority, so political leaders must form coalitions. However, there is a chance that neither Netanyahu's religious and ultranationalist coalition nor the group of parties looking to remove him could win a parliamentary majority. The Arab-led parties could emerge as kingmakers if they agree to support one candidate over the other. The election is seen as a referendum on Netanyahu's leadership and on what kind of country Israel should be, influenced by religious and nationalist forces or more firmly anchored in liberal and secular values. Since Hamas's 2023 attack, Israel has found itself increasingly isolated over its conduct in Gaza and the West Bank.
