The coverage addresses Israel's Knesset elections scheduled for 27 October 2026, the first since the 7 October 2023 attack, amid a dispute between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the military establishment over a possible operation against Iran and public U.S. intervention in his support. The opposition accuses Netanyahu of exploiting the Iran threat for electoral purposes, while polls indicate opposition gains without a clear majority, with particular attention to the weight of Arab and Druze voters.
Al Jazeera Net focused on the dispute between Netanyahu and the military establishment, U.S. intervention and concerns about the integrity of the vote, while Al Bayan focused on opposition accusations of exploiting the Iran threat and the details and denial of the Channel 12 report, whereas MTV Lebanon highlighted Arab and Druze voters and the competition between the Joint List and Ra'am.
