Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stark election ultimatum to voters ahead of the 27 October elections, framing the choice as 'vote for me or vote for Palestine.' During a speech marking the third anniversary of the 7 October 2023 attack at Mount Herzl, Netanyahu was interrupted by Yaakov Godo, father of a man killed by Israeli military fire during the attack, who called him a 'traitor' and said 'you did not protect my son.' The incidents highlight deepening domestic political tensions in Israel as Netanyahu seeks re-election while facing criticism over his government's handling of the 7 October attack and its aftermath.
