Israelis are at the Voting Polls Now for a New Prime Minister

Today, November 1st, 2022, Israelis have been making their way to their voting polls to cast their vote for a new Prime Minister.

It has been one of the longest election campaigns in Israel's history as opponents debate the endless domestic crisis that is forcing them to enter the voting booth for the fifth time in three and a half years. The polls have been projecting another deadlocked election, with neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor Yair Lapid achieving the required 61-seat majority needed to form the next government. Voters have grown apathetic watching this play out again.

Israeli election day is today and Netanyahu is slightly favored. Slightly. He is closer than ever to reaching his ultimate goal – a far right and ultra-Orthodox coalition – which will loyally support him in all of his legal endeavors.

As we pray for our own elections here in the United States on November 8th, remember to pray for election day in Israel - today — knowing they are 8 hours ahead of us and the polls are ending soon!
