Israelis head to the polls Tuesday in the country’s first election since the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks.
Recent polls show neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bloc nor the main opposition bloc, led by Gadi Eisenkot, reaching the 61 seats needed for a majority in the 120-seat Knesset, which could leave smaller parties holding the key.
A party needs at least 3.25% of the national vote to win seats.
