6.4 Million People Ready to Vote in Israeli Elections

Published September 16th, 2019 - 05:41 GMT

Israel is holding its general elections on Tuesday, 17th September. It marks the second vote for 2019 after prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to form a coalition government ahead of the last 9 April elections.

Moreover, 31 parties are contesting the polls but opinion polls suggest the two biggest parties will be Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party and the centrist Blue and White party led by Benny Gantz, a former army chief.

Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to annex the Jordan Valley if he is re-elected.
