8-month Iran war looms large over Israeli election

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the vote through the lens of the Iran war and Netanyahu’s standing. CBS News is more compressed, emphasizing Netanyahu’s claim that only he can finish the job, while PBS NewsHour broadens the frame to the election as a referendum on his leadership and adds the U.S. factor. PBS also uniquely mentions reporting from Tel Aviv and coverage of Gadi Eisenkot’s final rally.
