Israelis Cast Ballots in Pivotal Election as Netanyahu Battles for Political Survival

Voting is now underway and closed, with 7,331,981 eligible voters. Three possible outcomes have been identified by senior journalist Yaron Decel: a minority government, a national unity government, or another election in four months. Netanyahu proposed using cryptocurrency to bypass potential sanctions. A new Israeli military operation began in Hebron just before the vote. Netanyahu and Eisenkot have nearly identical foreign policy positions on Gaza, Iran, and Palestinian territories, according to the Wall Street Journal. A poll from Agam Labs in October found 60% of Israeli Jews want to replace Netanyahu.
