## Summary

US President Donald Trump urged Israelis to re-elect Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the two could “finish the job” in Iran. The endorsement comes ahead of Tuesday’s election, the first since Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack, which is widely seen as a vote on Netanyahu’s leadership.

The campaign has focused on Netanyahu’s responsibility for the security failure, military-service exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men and his 2023 judicial overhaul. About 68 per cent of Jewish Israelis say the 7 October attack is central to their voting decision, compared with 32 per cent of Arab voters; around a quarter of Jewish voters cite conscription as a key issue. Major parties broadly support settlements in the occupied West Bank and oppose a Palestinian state.
