Three years after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, the issue dominates the current election cycle as Israelis head to the polls. As campaigning intensifies, security concerns and calls for accountability intertwine with everyday issues.
The memory of the assault, which left deep scars, is now a primary lens through which voters evaluate parties and leaders. A Times of Israel poll reports that most Israelis cite the Oct. 7 events as a central factor in their vote choice, and analysis in The New Yorker, Axios and The Washington Post frames Netanyahu’s future as a political reckoning that could hinge on this sentiment.
The election, occurring three years after the attack, therefore serves as a litmus test for how the trauma shapes political fortunes.
