Israel has gone to the polls for the fourth election in less than two years, with the nation still divided over whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deserves to remain in office.
Polling stations were opening across Israel and in the occupied West Bank, with some 6.5 million registered voters set to deliver a result that could prolong the worst period of political gridlock in the country’s history.
Netanyahu is hoping a successful vaccination programme will finally win him a parliamentary majority, but he is the first sitting prime minister to be indicted, and is facing three corruption trials.
