Israelis vote Tuesday in a closely contested parliamentary election, the first since the Oct. 7 attacks, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu facing a united opposition challenge.
U.N. investigators accused Israel of crimes against humanity in the occupied West Bank, while the U.N. human rights chief warned Israeli operations in Hebron risk ethnic cleansing.
Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot urged unity and calm before Tuesday’s election, where polls showed his Yashar! party in contention to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu.
