Israelis vote on Tuesday as Benjamin Netanyahu faces opposition challenges from Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett. The closely fought election will test public trust over security, governance and the Gaza war.

Israelis are set to vote on October 27 in the country's first national election since the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, and the war in Gaza that followed.

In power for much of the time since 2009, after a first stint as prime minister in the 1990s, Netanyahu has become the face of Israel abroad and a polarising figure at home.
