Israel will hold a general election on October 27, local time, to elect 120 members of the country's 26th parliament. This is Israel's first general election since a new round of large-scale conflict between Palestine and Israel broke out on October 7, 2023, and is regarded as one of the most important elections in the country's history. This election has become a referendum for Israeli voters on whether Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu should remain in power. Netanyahu has been in power for 19 years and is the longest-serving prime minister in Israel's history. He is currently facing trial on corruption charges. For many Israelis, this vote is a settlement of the “October 7 incident” and previous issues.
