30 MINUTES TO ISRAELI ELECTION RESULTS - follow here for real-time build-up and reactions from Gadi Eisenkot HQ.

ISRAEL ELECTIONS: Still some broader news - Likud files 777 complaints of fraud against Israeli-Arab voting centers. But just 1 hr ago, election official said any fraud,problems are w/in standard spectrum,so maybe not accepting all complaints.Could go to court later.

ISRAEL ELECTION: Ok, I am at EISENKOT HQ. I will still cover some broader election news, but the next 2-3 hours will be a bit more on Eisenkot since I was assigned to be here (Jpost reporters are all fanned out.) Right now filled by around 200 media and 50-100 Eisenkot workers.

ISRAEL ELECTIONS: Likud Education Minister Yoav Kisch going door to door in Petach Tikvah to try to turnout late Likud voters.

ISRAEL ELECTION: Another optimistic point: Already close to 5 million Israelis have voted! If Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah wanted to stop this - they failed.

ISRAEL ELECTIONS: Ex-PM Naftali Bennett heading to turn out voters from Likud strongholds in Rishon LeZion, Rehovot, Yvaneh - he thinks he can flip some to his center-right alliance with Eisenkot. We'll know in 5 hours.

ISRAEL ELECTION: Most beautiful moment of the elections - numerous ISRAELI HOSTAGES saved from Hamas in Gaza, get to exercise their democratic rights TO VOTE after SURVIVING darkness,terror, violence,abuse-some for 2 years.

ISRAEL ELECTIONS: Fascinating Netanyahu move-goes on UTJ Haredi Kol Ramah radio to seek turnout, even for UTJ as part of his bloc,even if not Likud.Admits "You are frustrated,but thats not important. Save the world of Torah and Judiasm"-i.e-sorry I broke promises but you need me.

ISRAEL ELECTIONS: Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben Gvir visits Bat Yam, where voter turnout has been lower, to encourage voting. "The beach is important, but saving the nations i more important. Go vote."

ISRAEL ELECTION - midday update on Eisenkot campaign for election day: jpost.com/israel-election-20… Stay tuned here for my reporting later from his HQ.

My interview with @BBCWorld: youtu.be/nFyoDaXZumk about ISRAELI ELECTIONS impact on Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, West Bank, diplomacy and with mention of my new book: amazon.com/dp/B0G2JWY3TG?lv=… with @ElliotKaufman6

Israeli-Arab Joint List party chief Yosef Jabareen to PM: "You are inciting against Arab citizens. The Arab public will punish you at the polls and send you and the Kahanists home."

ISRAEL ELECTIONS: Intense rain has led police to close roads in and out of Eilat in the South. How will this impact voter turnout, which has hit record highs on most places? Eisenkot is from Eilat...

ISRAEL ELECTIONS: Netanyahu at a bar in Rishon Lezion.Accuses Israeli-Arab Raam party of trying to steal election (police did catch some criminals giving out $ to get people to vote but unclear how widespread). Says: no party,cake, sandwiches,beach,grill - nothing to vote Likud.

ISRAELI ELECTION: Deri's threat isnt true. Whats true is new govt might block separate public men-women events in secular parts of Tel Aviv. But in shuls+religious cities, no change. What is true is govt might not fund schooling of kids of draftdodgers. But could serve+get $ back

ISRAEL ELECTION: PM is known for being brilliant at turning out votes on final day with predictions of doom "the gevalt" campaign. Shas leader Aryeh Deri just did this-said: if Eisenkot wins, all Shas schools will close and children wont be able to carry 'tefillin' to school.1/2

ISRAEL ELECTIONS: Interesting. Reports that Betzalel Smotrich has called an emergency party meeting to address high Israeli-Arab turnout. Is this to challenge votes? Is he suddenly worried about falling below threshold, though he has been well above for around a month?

*בדרך להצבעה בקלפי, פקדו גדי איזנקוט ורעייתו חנה את קבר בנם גל מאיר ז״ל בבית העלמין בהרצליה* Eisenkot visits the grave of his son, Gal, on election day. Gal was killed in late 2023 in Gaza

ISRAEL ELECTIONS: So far, the voter turnout is on pace to be the highest since 1973! Stay tuned for what surprises this might mean for scrambling predictions.

ISRAEL ELECTIONS: Schedule - today is just the start! W/in 7 days Israeli president gives either Eisenkot/Netanyahu 1st chance to form govt for 28 days w/possible 14 day extension. If fails, other side gets 28 days. If fails, anyone can try for 21 days. If fail - 2nd election.
