Israel votes to elect its next leader as the race comes down to two main candidates, incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his challenger, Gadi Eisenkot. Around 7 million Israelis are eligible to vote this year and the voter turnout has already reached high levels, not seen since 1981. The major issues this election are Hamas, the war in Gaza, the war in Iran and Israel-US relations, with US President Donald Trump endorsing Netanyahu. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Netanyahu had called for strikes on Iran before the election, which was met with resistance from the IDF chief. Eisenkot, a former IDF chief is also a security hawk and has pledged to dismantle Hamas within 18 months if he is voted to power. The Israeli election’s result is likely to be announced on November 4. Who will win, and how will it shape the Iran war? Hem Kaur Saroya tells you more on Vantage on Firstpost.
