Full term of office when Israel goes to the polls
In just over three months, Israel will go to the general election. It is the first time in 38 years that an election has been held in Israel after a governing coalition has managed to serve a full four-year term, writes The Jerusalem Post.
Israel's parliament, the Knesset, announced on Sunday that the election date has been set for October 27.
For Israel, the past three years have been marked by war on several fronts – against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and against Iran.
This after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has invested heavily in the issue of Israel's security.
Therefore, many see this autumn's election as a fateful election for the incumbent 76-year-old Benjamin Netanyahu.
While opinion polls point to a red line for Netanyahu, he is strongly aiming to win this autumn's election. His goal is, among other things, to form a broad national government, without support from fringe parties.
