I think this is one of the most important elections that Israel has ever had.
It's the first chance for people to pass judgment on the government since the attacks of October 7th in 2023 and the wars that have come after that.
And it is a chance to pass judgment on a government that has been perhaps the most extreme that Israel has ever had in its ultranationalism and its religiosity.
And so when Israelis vote on October the 27th, they're going to be choosing between another version of that government and its vision for the future of Israel or an alternative.
The current government has a lot of opponents.
And we shouldn't forget that the current government is a coalition, as Israel's always are.
So that contains more than one party.
But the opposition parties are a diverse group.
Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, both former prime ministers, both probably centre-right opposition.
although I think it's a mark of how far to the right Israel as a country has moved that we see them as such.
They brought together two of their parties to create together.
And then the other big challenger is Gadi Eisenkot, who is a relative newcomer to politics.
He used to be head of the IDF.
He served in Netanyahu's war cabinet in the early days of the war, after October the 7th.
but then resigned after criticizing the prime minister's strategy.
And he has been rising in the polls.
His party, which he launched in September last year, is looking like it could be a real rival to Likud, Netanyahu's party.
Then you've got a host of smaller parties.
You've got parties that represent Israel's Arabs.
You've got the Democrats, which is another coalition party formed of Labor, Israel's founding party, which ruled the country for its first few decades, and Meretz, a left-wing Zionist party.
