Israel election: Exit polls indicate Netanyahu's party ahead but short of majority
“Vote, vote, vote, vote, vote,” Netanyahu said after casting his ballot in Jerusalem, his wife, Sara, at his side.
He called the occasion a “festival of democracy.” “This the moment of truth for the State of Israel,” said his rival Yair Lapid as he voted in Tel Aviv.
Iran has escalated tensions with Israel by threatening to use previously untouched weapons, including "mini" nuclear tactical weapons. President Raisi and Foreign Minister Abdollahian warned of a devastating response to Israeli aggression. Israel, on high alert, awaits Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision on how to respond to Iran's provocations.

President Biden was in the Situation Room at the White House throughout Saturday evening watching, in real time, Iran's unprecedented attack on Israel unfold. Sky News
House Republican leaders have lambasted President Joe Biden for his perceived inaction in enforcing existing measures against Iran. Representative Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, voiced concerns over the administration's policies allegedly facilitating Iran's oil sales, which fund terrorism. The Biden administration faces mounting pressure to deter future attacks without exacerbating regional tensions or antagonising China, a major buyer of Iranian oil.
