Oct. 7 failures plague Netanyahu’s reelection bid
Three years after Hamas’ deadly assault on the country, Israel stands more internationally isolated than ever. Israeli elections this month will determine whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — the country’s longest-serving leader — has shed the security failures preceding the Oct. 7 attacks. Three years after Hamas’ deadly assault on the country, Israel stands more internationally isolated than ever: More than 85% of left-identifying voters, and 70% in the center, across Australia, the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Canada, and South Korea hold negative views of Israel. “This spreading political toxicity stands as Netanyahu’s bitter legacy,” a Bloomberg columnist argued. The prime minister’s Likud party is not ahead in most polls, but “what is astonishing — politically, morally, strategically — is that Netanyahu has any chance at all,” The New Yorker’s David Remnick wrote.
