Netanyahu’s legacy on the line as Israelis vote in first election since Oct. 7
He finds himself in a tight race for reelection on Tuesday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in a tight race for reelection following the first election since Oct. 7, when Hamas-led militants attacked Israel. Despite a three-year period of domestic crises and wars, Netanyahu has managed to claw back his position. His supporters argue that he was betrayed by Israel's defense establishment and has led the country through strikes against Hamas, Lebanon's Hezbollah and Iran. His opponents, led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, argue that Netanyahu should be held accountable for his failure to turn battlefield victories into diplomatic achievements. The election is seen as a referendum on Netanyahu, with both supporters and opponents suggesting a two-state solution is politically toxic in Israel. Netanyahu's rule has also been criticized over a longstanding system granting ultra-Orthodox exemptions from military service, and attempts to overhaul the legal system for controversial corruption charges.
