A look at the main issues in Israeli elections seen as a referendum on Netanyahu
Israelis will vote Tuesday in the first national elections since Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack in what is widely seen as a referendum on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's leadership.The dea Israel is set to vote in the first national elections since Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, which is seen as a referendum on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership. The campaign has largely focused on Netanyahu's role in security breakdown on Oct.7, his efforts to exempt ultra-Orthodox Jews from military service and a 2023 judicial overhaul seen as an assault on Israel’s democratic institutions. Both main electoral blocs are dominated by parties that support Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank and oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state. Critics accuse Netanyahu of avoiding responsibility for the attack and failing to secure decisive victories against Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and their patron, Iran. The country is also dealing with a shortage of soldiers, with around 68% of Jewish Israelis ranking the issue as a central factor in their support.
