This Israeli election could be the country’s last – this week I saw that for myself | Jonathan Freedland

Israeli voters are heading to the polls on October 27 for what is described as the country's most important election, with some voters fearing it could be its last if Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing coalition is returned to power. The election is framed as a critical juncture for Israel's liberal democracy, with concerns raised about the government's sustained efforts to weaken democratic institutions and the judiciary, potentially leading to an autocratic system.

Israel is killing the people who could end its wars

In March 2026, Ali Larijani, Iran's effective decision-maker and a potential negotiator, was assassinated, fitting a pattern of Israel targeting figures capable of ending conflicts. This tactic, also seen with UN mediator Bernadotte in 1948 and Hamas leader Haniyeh in 2024, removes potential mediators and often results in harder-line successors, thereby manufacturing evidence that diplomacy was futile.

UK settlements ban: How conspiracy theory accusing Burnham of courting 'Islamist voters' went global

British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced a trade ban on Israeli settlements earlier this month, a move supported by 11 other countries and aligned with a July 2024 ICJ ruling declaring the occupation illegal. Opponents, including Conservative politicians and right-wing media, have responded with hostility, promoting a conspiracy theory that the ban was enacted due to pressure from British Muslims rather than international law concerns.
