J-7 ahead of Israeli parliamentary elections: Can Netanyahu win again ?

Israel is set to hold legislative elections on October 27, with tight polling between Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc and the opposition led by former army chief Gadi Eisenkot. The election comes amid heightened security concerns following recent attacks by Hamas, Israel's military response in Gaza, and tensions with Iran. Netanyahu has received strong support from Donald Trump, who praised him on his social media platform. The campaign is being analyzed for whether it serves as a referendum on Netanyahu's leadership, factors that could influence voter decisions, and the impact of international dynamics, including Trump's backing.
