The polls are saying it's going to be a very tight election but I am hoping that Netanyahu loses and there is a proper, full investigation into what the Israeli government knew prior to 7/10. It seems that a lot of Israelis also want to know. The clip below is very short.

I have a depressing feeling that he is going to win. His promise of expansion into West Bank is an attractive proposition to many Israelis.

There also needs to be a full and proper investigation into allegations of corruption.

I fear you are right. We have family in Israel and they hate Netanyahu but a lot of Israelis live in a bubble created by the government where they are fed by fear and hatred. Sadly I think they will feel they have no choice at the ballot.
