Thousands of Israelis living in the United States are expected to fly to Israel to vote in the country’s national election this month.

Israelis vote on October 27 in the sixth election since 2019. Here’s how the system works and who gets left out.

Former Israeli Defense Minister and IDF Chief of Staff Benny Gantz announced Monday that he is withdrawing from the October 27 Knesset elections, just eight days before Israelis head to the polls, following months of dismal polling that showed his Blue and White party failing to cross the electoral threshold.

Decision comes after polls showed his Blue and White party below the 3.25 percent threshold needed to enter the Knesset.

One of the key features of this Israeli election cycle is that the math, as the meme goes, ain’t mathing.

Israelis will soon vote for or against another Netanyahu government. The election outcome alone will not provide Israel with a solution to Hamas in Gaza.

Voting in Israel’s October 27 Knesset election has begun at diplomatic missions around the world, allowing Israeli diplomats, government representatives and eligible family members stationed overseas to cast their ballots before Election Day.
