Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared headed for defeat in Israel's upcoming election, but the race has tightened considerably as voting approaches, according to Al-Monitor. His rivals have yet to establish a clear route to forming a government, leaving the outcome increasingly uncertain.
The shifting dynamics complicate efforts by opposition forces to unseat the long-serving prime minister, who has maintained political resilience despite facing multiple challenges entering the contest.
