Polls open in Israeli election seen as referendum on Netanyahu

What the coverage shows

The coverage broadly converges on the same frame: Israelis are voting in the first election since Oct. 7, and most outlets describe it as a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu. Several outlets emphasize his political vulnerability, with CBS, NBC, AP, France 24, and The Guardian US all highlighting weak polls or a likely loss of majority, while BBC and France 24 note a close race with Gadi Eisenkot. The Independent is the only outlet that explicitly foregrounds a polling point about two in three Israelis, and The Hill uniquely leads with Trump’s endorsement.
