Benjamin Netanyahu seeks a new mandate in Israel's first election Tuesday, the first vote since the 7 October 2023 Hamas attacks that killed hundreds of Israelis and triggered an ongoing military campaign in Gaza, The Guardian reported. The election comes as the country remains deeply divided over the war's conduct and its toll on civilians.
The vote represents a significant moment for Israeli politics following the deadliest day in the country's history, which prompted a sweeping military response and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
