Netanyahu withdraws as Eisenkot leads in Israeli elections
Israel has closed the nomination process for the Knesset elections, with 38 lists competing for 120 seats. Early polls indicate a lead for the "Yesh Atid" party led by Gadi Eizenkot, with the opposition potentially securing 57 seats compared to 51 for the current coalition led by Netanyahu. This reflects the complexity of forming a government, as neither camp holds an absolute majority. The results show that Arab parties could play a significant role, representing 12 seats, while forming a stable government remains dependent on coalition outcomes. There is ongoing controversy regarding Arab support, as most of the right-wing government refuses to base their support on Arab parties, especially after escalating tensions following Hamas's attack. The "Yesh Atid" list leads the polls with 25 seats, followed by Likud with 21, though both have seen a decline in popularity compared to previous times. There are changing alliances among small parties and religious groups, amid attempts by Netanyahu to attract figures associated with him despite internal disagreements on the right. Additionally, the "Otzma Yehudit" party has submitted a request to remove the United Arab List from the candidate slate, claiming it is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood organization. In other news, Israel has opened its first embassy in Slovenia to strengthen relations, despite protests from pro-Palestinian groups, amid rising European criticism of Israeli policies in the occupied territories, and angry Israeli reactions to successive European measures.
