Israel Sees Record Election Turnout Amidst Political Calls

Israel's 2026 Knesset elections have shattered records with unprecedented voter turnout, reaching a historical high. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other leaders expressed concerns over participation trends, particularly in Arab-majority cities, urging their supporters to vote. Tensions were reported near polling stations in Lod, where verbal altercations occurred between Arabs and Jews. Separately, severe flash flooding has hit Israel's Negev, Arava, and Dead Sea regions, prompting rescue operations and significant road closures impacting travel to Eilat and Ramon Airport, with authorities warning of ongoing flood risks.
