(261025) -- TEL AVIV, Oct. 25, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Supporters of center-left parties gather for a rally ahead of the election day at Rabin Square in Tel Aviv, Israel, Oct. 24, 2026. Israelis will vote on Oct. 27 to elect the 26th Knesset, the country's parliament, with about 7.3 million eligible voters. It will be Israel's first election since the Hamas-led attack on Oct. 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people in Israel and triggered a devastating Israeli offensive in Gaza, followed by a wider regional escalation involving Lebanon and Iran. The right-wing coalition led by incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a major challenge in its bid to remain in power. (Photo by Gil Cohen Magen/Xinhua)
