More than seven million Israelis are going to the polls today for a vote with an unpredictable outcome

Over seven million Israelis are voting today in parliamentary elections, the first since the 2023 Hamas attacks. These elections are considered highly uncertain, with 120 Knesset seats at stake. A party or coalition needs at least 61 seats for a majority. Voters choose from 37 parties, but only those surpassing 3.25% of the vote will enter the Knesset. Current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former general Gadi Eisenkot are key figures, with Eisenkot's party slightly leading in polls. The elections occur amid deep internal divisions and discussions on military service and judicial independence. Results will be confirmed by November 4, with a potential government formation process lasting up to 42 days.
