In Europe they talk about democracy, in the Arab world they don't expect change

A Globes global press review: In Europe, the elections are framed as a referendum on the nature of the state and the October 7 massacre; in the Arab world, they are convinced that the identity of the prime minister will not bring change on the Palestinian issue; in the US, they analyze security, economic, and Iran-related implications.

A review article by Globes on how the global media is covering the elections in Israel. In the European media, the BBC and Euronews present the elections as a struggle over the democratic character of the state and Netanyahu's security performance after October 7. In contrast, in the Arab press, such as Saudi Arab News and Qatari Al Jazeera, the central question is whether there will be a shift on the Palestinian issue, and the answer is negative: both Netanyahu and Eisenkot oppose a Palestinian state. In the US, the Wall Street Journal and CNBC focus on security, Iran, and economic angles, noting that the differences between the candidates on these issues are narrow.
