Israel's Minister Gantz calls for new elections in September. According to surveys, Gantz's party could become the strongest faction.
But what does Prime Minister Netanyahu say about this? Many Israelis accuse Netanyahu of not yet admitting personal responsibility for allowing the Hamas massacre to occur on October 7th. If there were new elections - and Gantz could maintain his poll numbers - he would be the next prime minister. The official date for the next parliamentary election in Israel is not until October 2026.
