With his current term ending July 17th — the first time in decades a ruling coalition completes a full four-year run — Netanyahu, already Israel’s longest-serving PM, is determined to return to power. His far-right government has pushed through controversial legislation and floated the idea of a broad, non-partisan national unity government. But polls show most Israelis want him out, with former military chief Gadi Eisenkot emerging as his main rival. Public anger over the ceasefire, security failures before October 7th, and domestic tensions — including the military service debate for ultra-Orthodox men — are mounting. Netanyahu’s campaign pivots to security, framing his vision around unity against Iran and Hezbollah, hoping to shift focus from corruption trials and Gaza’s future governance to a broader national mandate.
