Jerusalem: Due to a long-standing political deadlock in Israel and corruption charges against Benjamin Netanyahu, parliamentary elections are due for the fourth time in the last two years. According to the poll conducted before the voting today, a fight is expected to be fought between Netanyahu's supporters and his opponents. Netanyahu, Yair Lapid, Gideon Saar, and Naphtali Bennett are the main contenders for power in the parliamentary elections.

Netanyahu has been the CM of the country for the longest time (five times). He claims to have won the election on the basis of the success of the Corona vaccine in Israel and the improvement of diplomatic relations with Arab countries. With this, Netanyahu is facing strong opposition from opposition parties for the first time in two years. According to electoral surveys, his party 'Likud' and its allies may have to settle for less than a majority.

Leader of the opposition party Yair Lapid contested the election last year with the support of Defense Minister Benny Gantz, but he backed out after the agreement between Netanyahu and Gantz on the power partnership. This time he has campaigned claiming to defeat Netanyahu. Lapid's party has been projected to come second in the surveys.
