Polls open in Israeli election seen as referendum on Netanyahu

What the coverage shows

CBS News and the South China Morning Post both frame the vote as a test of Benjamin Netanyahu’s hold on power, with each stressing the election’s tense, pivotal character. CBS focuses on it as Israel’s first parliamentary election since the Oct. 7 attacks and says Netanyahu is essentially the central figure on the ballot, while the South China Morning Post adds that the country remains divided over the state’s character and leadership. The South China Morning Post is also the only outlet to mention unresolved wars in its extract.
