Israel will elect a new parliament on October 27th. For the first time since the Hamas massacre on October 7, 2023, the Israelis will decide whether they want to continue to be ruled by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing extremist coalition.
The alternative is Gadi Eisenkot, a former chief of staff of the Israeli army who presents himself primarily as the anti-Netanyahu, but who hardly anyone would really say what else he stands for.
Which blocs face each other and what role do the Arab parties play? What do you vote for as a left-wing Israeli today – or are there any left? How has Israel's political landscape changed as a result of October 7 and the subsequent military operations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran? And what election outcome is likely?
taz foreign editor Bernd Pickert talks about all of these questions with correspondent Serena Bilanceri, who is currently banned from working and entering Israel, Middle East editor Lisa Schneider in Tel Aviv and opinion editor Susanne Knaul, who worked as a correspondent in Israel until 2019.
