  • Netanyahu’s opponents say he should be held accountable for the Oct. 7 security failures; he has rejected calls for an official inquiry.
  • The vote also reflects divisions over military-service exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men and Netanyahu’s proposed court overhaul.
  • If no bloc secures a majority, smaller parties could shape coalition negotiations, with another election possible early next year.
