The October 7 Massacre

Several media outlets focus their election coverage on the ousting of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while others frame the election through its impact on the future of the Middle East.

Eisenkot's campaign on Tuesday started early in the morning at Ofakim and Nir Oz in the Gaza Strip corridor, calling attention to the failures of the past government in preventing October 7.

Israel’s shift toward offensive military action, defense-tech innovation and regional partnerships is reshaping its strategic value to Washington.

"The government was warned repeatedly, but despite the warnings, it continued its predatory attack on the elements of the democratic regime, even in the midst of the war," Nathan Netanyahu argued.

Democracy extends beyond elections. Volunteerism and philanthropy help build a stronger Israel and support society’s most vulnerable.

"I stood up for who I was," Lucie Kon said. "I stood up for what I believed to be right. The BBC says, 'Bring your authentic self to work.' And I did, and I lost my job as a result."

I do not believe that a well-functioning national unity government – which is what Israel most urgently requires – is an option, as long as Netanyahu is still the leader of the Likud.

A protest does not speak for every student. A hashtag does not represent every young adult. And the most hostile voices on social media do not have the final word on the future of Israel.

Sturgo is the CEO of Aharai, an organization that promotes leadership skills in Israeli youth. A veteran of the Second Lebanon War, he saw combat during the October 7 massacre.

The current government has many naysayers, but nobody can deny that what they have achieved on the battlefield is historic. However, the progress could unravel if the missions are not completed.
