Dimona voters challenge Netanyahu
Disenchanted voters in the traditional Likud stronghold of Dimona are campaigning for rival candidate Gadi Eisenkot. The tight election follows years of turmoil and declining support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Disenchanted voters in Israel's Negev Desert are campaigning against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of Tuesday's crucial ballot. The upcoming election is the first national vote since the October 7, 2023, attack that triggered regional conflicts involving Iran and Lebanon's militants. The security breach eroded governing party support, leaving Netanyahu's coalition trailing in opinion polls.
