Israel will hold its first general election in four years on Oct. 27, as the country confronts multiple foreign policy crises and domestic policy challenges. The election date itself is remarkable: most Israeli governments do not survive their full terms and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition is only the second to do so since the country's founding in 1948. That is in large part due to Netanyahu's own political acumen and the surge in support from the right wing that he was able to capitalize on after the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel. But that unity has started to fade.
