Israel Election Tests Netanyahu's Hold on Power

Israeli voters participated in a high-stakes election with record turnout, serving as a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration. This vote could jeopardize Netanyahu's nearly 19-year leadership. While Aaron David Miller noted that Donald Trump's endorsement provided minimal impact, the contest highlights differences between Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot regarding settler violence and the war with Iran. Despite these disagreements, both candidates maintain similar positions on national security issues as the country concludes its voting process.
