Tens of thousands of Israelis living abroad are expected to fly in for pivotal vote

Israeli law generally requires citizens to vote in person in the country, with narrow exceptions for diplomats and certain official emissaries abroad. Natra said she plans to cast her ballot for parties not aligned with the current government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “The Israel that I grew up in is disappearing,” she said in an interview from Toronto, citing an eroding democracy and deeply divided society. “If something won’t change this time, I don’t know what’s going to be.”Tens of thousands of Israelis living abroad are expected to fly in for this month’s vote, according to AID Coalition, a U. S.-based nonprofit focused on strengthening Israel’s democracy. The election is one of the most consequential in Israel in years, widely seen as a referendum on Netanyahu’s handling of the wars and the hard-right turn Israel has taken both domestically and on the world stage. Israel has more than 7.3 million registered voters, but polling suggests a tight race. Previous elections have turned on thin margins.
