With less than a day until the polls open, the world's eyes are on Israel. Prominent international media outlets have begun covering the Israeli election campaign, which they describe as dramatic and fateful. The British Guardian included Israel in a sequence of four global elections under the headline 'Ten days that could shake the world'. The BBC described the elections as 'a battle Israel always knew was coming', noting the deep rift in the country. The New York Post focused on the dilemma surrounding Benjamin Netanyahu, asking whether he should be punished for the October 7 massacre or whether he is the strongest figure to defend the country. CNN devoted a significant portion of its site to the elections, describing them as the most fateful in recent years, and noting that these are the first elections since October 7 and amid the wars in Gaza, Lebanon, and against Iran. The article quotes foreign coverage but does not include responses from Israeli candidates.
