The Israeli election is deadlocked : State of the World from NPR
Israel has held an important election– its first since the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attacks on that country.
The vote is a referendum on the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhu who was in power when the attacks occurred and presided over the military responses that followed. And so far, there is no clear winner.
With more than half the votes counted neither Netanyahu nor his center-right challenger Gadi Eisenkot have the majority needed to form a government. We hear what happens now and an analysis of what it means.
