Tens of thousands of Israelis living abroad are preparing to return home to vote in the October 27 election, which could determine Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political future. The Fly&Vote initiative estimates that around 67,000 expatriates may travel to Israel to cast their ballots. Israel generally does not allow citizens living overseas to vote by post or at embassies, requiring most to vote in person. Many returning voters oppose Netanyahu’s leadership and hope for a change in government. However, the actual number of returning voters and their political preferences remain uncertain, and the election is expected to be closely contested. (PC: The Telegraph)
