The vote will take place amid a tense situation, as violence in the occupied West Bank continues and ranks among the main issues of political confrontation.
At the age of 76, Benjamin Netanyahu will face both the electoral challenge and his trial on corruption charges. Proceedings against the Israeli prime minister are continuing, despite calls by US President Donald Trump for the case to be closed through a pardon.
According to the latest polls, Netanyahu’s coalition may fall short of a parliamentary majority. However, the Israeli leader has shown in the past that he can defy expectations and preserve his political survival.
