Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to face a tough electoral contest as voters head to the polls on Tuesday, with his Likud party losing ground in opinion polls and opposition parties yet to establish a clear path to power.
Netanyahu, who has dominated Israeli politics for much of the period since 2009, is seeking another term despite growing criticism over the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023, and the wars that followed in Gaza and Lebanon, as well as Israel's airstrikes against Iran.
