Opposition in Israel can tackle Netanyahu's legacy even without a government win

The upcoming elections in Israel are highly competitive, with Gadi Eisenkot's party Yashar potentially leading against Netanyahu's Likud. Current polls suggest a tight race, with both major blocs needing smaller parties for coalition support. Palestinian parties may play a crucial role as potential 'kingmakers' in forming a government. The opposition, particularly Eisenkot's bloc, is seen as having a slight advantage due to less ideological resistance to collaborating with Palestinian parties. Voter turnout among Palestinian citizens is expected to rise significantly. Additionally, the campaign has focused on issues like military conscription for ultra-Orthodox Jews and calls for an independent investigation into the October 7 Hamas attack, which Netanyahu opposes.
