Netanyahu must win today. Israel can’t afford a weak leader right now.

It’s crazy how much pure hatred gets thrown at Netanyahu from every direction, more than any other current leader even Putin, but the idea that Israel must get rid of him to rebuild its standing in the international community is absurd IMO.

You can't run a country surrounded by hostile Arab states, who hope for your annihilation, by trying to be politically correct or try to please Western governments (to appease their own electorates) who have no idea what Israel has to deal with. They only understand strength, not weakness.

Say what you want about his politics but the guy has serious balls and does not back down.

No other leader in Israel, or any other world leader for that matter, has his level of experience when it comes to dealing with terrorism and national security. He’s been managing these existential threats for decades while other politicians just talk.

If you actually research the corruption charges it's obvious they are a politically motivated stitch-up by a left wing establishment that invented a bizarre legal theory about "media coverage" just to oust a leader they couldn't beat in elections.

It's exactly why he needs to stay in power and finish the job. He is the only one who refuses to fall for the fantasy of a 2 state solution, which is completely dead in the water after Oct 7th. Any backing down to the Palestinians now would be absolute suicide.

He literally built Israel's massive tech economy and proved with the Abraham Accords that strength gets results.

My genuine worry if he loses today is that whoever takes over will be way too soft and cave to international pressure on a Palestinian State and on Iran.

If Israel softens its stance, the pressure on Iran and Hamas drops completely and it leaves ordinary Iranian and Gazan people trapped with zero hope.

In a brutal neighborhood you need a strong, tested leader.

As Golda Meir said - "If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image."

Haha is it his latest TRUTH?

I’m sure someone equally as genocidal will be waiting in the wings. Try not to worry. P.s there are no ‘left wing establishments’.

This.

It's not tenable or sustainable.

Countries survive long term by having cordial relationships with at least some of their neighbours.

Netanyahu is a war criminal and should be behind bars.

Can't agree with you OP. The sooner Netanyahu, Trump and to some extent Putin fuck right off, the sooner we all have a chance. Small dick syndrome at its finest, all of them.

Seconded.

I thought many people in Israel don’t like him

MeridaBrave · Today 09:26

🤢 I hope he loses badly. Sadly I’m concerned he will win. I think it’s now exetential- Israel is on a self
destruct mode with him in charge.

BerthaPotts · Today 09:33

Is this a joke?

Bollocks- get rid of the genocidal war criminal

The result of his Netanyahu’s policies are extensive civilian deaths and destruction in Gaza, civilian deaths and insecurity in Israel, widespread political tensions in the surrounding region.

I can hardly imagine anyone doing a worse job to be honest.

I’m standing in line now to vote against him. Two of the other parties are headed by former generals, including a head of the army. They are far from weak. They are also not corrupt and are not controlled by extremists such as Ben Gvir and Smotritch.

BobbleBear · Today 10:05

He’s a war criminal and the sooner he gets removed the better.

I'm not sure if they have but a few months ago I read an article which stated that unfortunately most of the Israeli people agree with his genocidal ways. He has huge power and support so it looks like he'll get through again.

I believe the polls will be available when voting ends at 8pm UK time.

Friday's poll it was neck-and-neck

Turnout in Israel was 16.68% by 10am, which is the highest level at that time since 1981.

I don't know about exit polls.

Cannot agree with you on this @IsraelNeedsBibi

In my opinion a change of leadership is due and in particular the new leader needs to kick the religious extremists in the current coalition government out of bed.

I would like to see a more centrist leader. They will still be strong on security- all the opposition leaders are.

I agree with you @Twiglets1 .
