Israel is hosting its second election in five months today, after its first vote proved inconclusive.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, head of the conservative Likud party, was unable to create a coalition government after the first election.
Mr Netanyahu is also facing potential indictment due to bribery, fraud and breach of trust accusations, but polls still predict a close race between his opposition Benny Gantz.
A central issue is Israel’s secular-religious divide.
