Episode Netanyahu's on the campaign trail: Will he survive Israel's election?
Will Israeli voters renew Benjamin Netanyahu's mandate, or is the country heading for a political turning point?
ABC Middle East correspondent Matthew Doran joins Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald from Jerusalem to explain why this campaign has become a referendum on Netanyahu's leadership, who is best placed to challenge him, and why the result may be far from clear even after votes are counted.
They discuss the lingering political fallout from October 7, Donald Trump's extraordinary endorsement of Netanyahu, the role of Israel's Arab parties, and why coalition negotiations could prove just as important as election day itself.
Matthew also reflects on the challenges of reporting from Gaza, the restrictions facing international journalists, and the growing scrutiny of violence in the occupied West Bank.
