Israelis will vote in their fifth election in less than four years on November 1. Since 2019, the nation has been in an election cycle due to the ongoing impasse between former prime leader Benjamin Netanyahu and his opponents on the left, right, and centre.January 2019
Netanyahu, the seasoned Likud Party leader and soon-to-be Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, appeared to be at the height of his abilities. He nevertheless called a quick election despite having a shaky one-seat majority in parliament.
Election day is on April 9, 2019, and Netanyahu, who is being investigated for corruption, spends weeks trying to put together a coalition but fails. Then, in an extraordinary political decision that sent Israel into political anarchy, Netanyahu called for another election rather than give his then main competitor, former army leader Benny Gantz, a chance to build a government.
