Israel's elections are wide open. Here's what could decide Netanyahu's political fate.

Key Points:

• Israelis are voting in a tightly contested election amid ongoing multi-front conflicts, with no clear majority expected for either the right-wing bloc led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or the diverse "change bloc" opposing him.
• Netanyahu campaigns on his ability to prevent Arab parties from influencing government and his ongoing efforts against Iran, receiving strong support from former U.S. President Donald Trump who warned against a leadership change.
• The "change bloc," led by former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, emphasizes unity and accountability, including calls for a state inquiry into the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023, contrasting Netanyahu's fear-based campaign rhetoric.
• Voter turnout, particularly among Arab Israelis who oppose Netanyahu's far-right alliances, and the performance of new parties demanding ultra-Orthodox inclusion in mandatory military service, could significantly influence election results.
• Possible outcomes include coalition negotiations, minority government formation with Arab party support or abstention, or a repeat election if no coalition is formed, continuing a recent pattern of electoral deadlock in Israel.
