Israeli Soldiers Begin Early Voting Ahead of October 27 Knesset Elections

Israeli soldiers began early voting for the October 27 parliamentary elections, with approximately 850 polling stations set up across the country and military bases. This initiative allows soldiers stationed in remote areas to cast their ballots before election day. Meanwhile, Israeli diplomats abroad saw a high turnout of 86.7% in their early voting period. Polls suggest a close race, with a potential deadlock between the government and opposition, and Gadi Eisenkot emerging as a key challenger to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
