LIVE, legislative elections in Israel: follow the election day with our correspondents and ask your questions

Israeli voters are participating in elections for the Knesset, with a turnout of 16.68% reported by 10 AM local time, the highest for this hour since 1981. This election is significant as it follows the October 7 terrorist attack and could determine the future of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The election system is proportional, with no local constituencies, and parties must surpass a 3.25% threshold to gain seats. Over 7 million voters are eligible, including a notable increase in participation expected among Arab voters and opposition supporters. Results will be projected after polls close at 9 PM Paris time, with official results expected in the following days.
