In captivity, the election campaign reached its peak. Between the two leading candidates there is a shoulder to shoulder competition. Between Binyamin Netanyahu, the current prime minister, and Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the opposition Israr party.

Other characters struggle a lot to gather more votes and influence the formation of the future government.

The political atmosphere is so heated that one local journalist compared this contest to a bloodbath. In other words, the political spectrum drew their swords against each other in this struggle.

But the interesting thing is that the common enemy of almost everyone is Iran. All the candidates for this election are facing a big and recurring question; What will they do with Iran?

Everyone's answer is more or less the same; "Confronting Iran, but in our own way." Of course, each side's method has many ups and downs.
