Yitzhak Herzog, the President of Israel, went to the polling station in Jerusalem on the morning of November 5 to participate in the parliamentary elections and vote. Polls show a close race between Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party and its right-wing allies with a rival coalition led by Gadi Eisenkot, former chief of the IDF General Staff. These elections will take place after a tense period in Israel's history, in which the Hamas attack on Mount 15, 1402, Israel's subsequent military operations in Gaza and internal conflicts over the policies of Netanyahu's right-wing government were the main factors.
