As Israel prepares for a general election on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has dominated Israeli politics for over 19 years across three decades, faces a tight contest against a united opposition led by Gadi Eisenkot. The election campaign has been defined by Netanyahu's ability to set the political agenda, with his latest posters framing the choice as 'Yamin' (right) versus 'Falastin' (Palestine), implying that voting against him would mean supporting Palestinian-led parties. Eisenkot, a former military chief and leader of the Yashar party, positions himself as the 'anti-Bibi' candidate, emphasizing integrity and directness in contrast to Netanyahu's reputation for political maneuvering. The opposition bloc, comprising Jewish Israeli parties, is forecast to perform better than Netanyahu's coalition but may fall short of a majority. Netanyahu has managed to keep his base loyal through decades of political skill, crafting narratives that deflect blame for crises such as the October 7 attacks and the Gaza war, while his opponents struggle to counter his influence. The campaign has also seen racial slurs from Netanyahu's allies, including a 'monkey' remark about Eisenkot, which Netanyahu himself has not publicly condemned. Despite widespread criticism of Netanyahu's leadership, including his failure to prevent the October 7 attacks, his government's handling of the Gaza war, and ongoing corruption allegations, his political longevity remains a mystery to many. The election has drawn significant attention from Israeli expatriates, with many returning to vote against him. While Netanyahu's dominance has shifted Israel further right, opposition leaders like Yair Golan express optimism about forming a coalition that could bring long-term security and a renewed focus on regional strategy. The outcome remains uncertain, with polls showing a neck-and-neck race between pro- and anti-Netanyahu blocs, suggesting that Netanyahu may yet pull off his 'greatest political trick' in a deeply divided country.
