Israel is scheduled to hold a Knesset election on 27 October, with security at the centre of the campaign and the economic consequences of three years of war also shaping the debate, according to Tagesschau.
Tagesschau reports that security remains the leading issue in the campaign. It also says the prolonged war has severely affected Israel’s economy, making economic direction part of the concerns facing voters before the election.
According to EL PAÍS, Israel’s economic growth is above the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development average. The publication also identifies low employment among ultra-Orthodox people as a potential threat to the country’s future fiscal position.
EL PAÍS places Benjamin Netanyahu in the election debate against that economic backdrop, while the Financial Times describes the result as potentially shaping Israel’s future for a generation. The supplied sources do not report an election result.
