‘Israel should go as far right as possible’: how national security is defining the election - video

The upcoming election marks Israel's first national vote since the October 7 attacks, which have reshaped the political landscape. Netanyahu's main contender is Gadi Eisenkot, the former chief of the Israel Defense Forces, with voters carefully considering which leader offers the strongest protection for the nation.

In Tel Aviv, a clear generational divide has emerged. Many younger voters express dissatisfaction with Netanyahu's approach to the conflict in Gaza, believing he has not been aggressive enough in their security concerns.
