PoliticsIsrael heads into deeply divided election as Oct. 7 accountability looms

Netanyahu has resisted calls to accept personal responsibility and backed a politically appointed inquiry, opposed by many bereaved families. Police are preparing for possible unrest, while experts warn of disputes over the result’s legitimacy.
