Around 67,000 Israelis from the United States and Europe have traveled to Israel to cast their ballots, reports said. Their arrival in a tightly contested race has complicated matters for the Netanyahu government.
Thousands of Israelis who want a change of government are returning to vote. Speaking to the media, the voters said they wanted to set a new direction for the country and were unhappy with two decades of rule and the government’s Gaza war policies.
