Voters in Israel Go to Polls for 3rd Time in Under a Year

HeadlineMar 02, 2020

In Israel, voting is underway for the third national election in less than a year, pitting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against former army chief Benny Gantz. Neither Netanyahu’s Likud party nor Gantz’s Blue and White party have been able to win an outright majority or form governing coalitions in the two prior elections. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trial for corruption will begin two weeks after the election. Sixteen polling places were designated for voters who may have or be at risk for coronavirus.
