One in three voters in Israel cast their ballots before noon. Netanyahu and his rivals have already voted.

In the Israeli parliamentary elections, 31.5% of eligible voters had cast their ballots by noon, marking the highest turnout since 1973. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other political leaders participated in the voting, which is seen as a referendum on Netanyahu's long tenure. Despite the high turnout, opposition parties have raised concerns about alleged irregularities in the voting process. Netanyahu urged citizens to vote for his party, claiming that Arab citizens were attempting to influence the election results. The elections are crucial as they may determine the future of Netanyahu's government amid ongoing legal challenges against him.
