Israel Prepares for October 27 Elections Amid Tight Race and Security Concerns
Israel is set to hold parliamentary elections on October 27, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former military chief Gadi Eisenkot as leading contenders. Polls indicate a close race, with no single party expected to win a majority in the 120-seat Knesset. Key issues include security failures from the October 7 Hamas attack, economic concerns, and the role of Arab-led parties, which could influence coalition formation if no bloc secures a majority. Government formation may involve coalition talks, minority governance, or new elections.
