Israeli Voters Hit Polls For Third Election In Under A Year

In less than a year, Israel's longest-serving Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and retired General Benny Gantz face another election, as neither the Likud nor Blue and White parties secured a majority in Parliament. Netanyahu's support for the Trump administration's Middle East peace plan, which proposes redrawing Israel's borders, has sparked opposition. Additionally, Netanyahu faces corruption charges, with a court date set for March 17th. Concerns over voter fatigue and the coronavirus may affect turnout, with polls predicting another deadlock, potentially leading to a fourth election.
