JERUSALEM (The Thursday Times) — Israeli shehri Mangal ko aam intikhabat mein vote daal rahe hain, jis mein Wazir-e-Azam Benjamin Netanyahu ki siyasi baqa daav par lagi hai. Polls ke mutabiq na un ka right-wing bloc aur na hi sabiq army chief Gadi Eisenkot ki qiyadat mein un ka hareef ittehad iqtidar tak wazeh raasta rakhta hai.
Polling stations maqami waqt ke mutabiq subah 7 baje khule aur raat 10 baje band honge. Central Election Committee ke mutabiq 73 lakh Israeli vote daalne ke ahal hain, jin mein se taqreeban 3 lakh 30 hazar pehli baar vote daalenge. Opinion polls mein Netanyahu ki Likud aur us ke ittehadiyon aur Eisenkot ke ittehad ke darmiyan kaante ka muqabla dikhaya gaya hai, jise right aur centre se hamayat hasil hai.
"Meri tawaqqo hai ke har surat mein hamein sirf mamooli aksariyat milegi. Koi landslide nahin," Shalom Hartman Institute ke siyasi tajziya nigar Amotz Asa-El ne Reuters ko bataya.
Netanyahu ka paigham
Netanyahu, jo 19 saal iqtidar mein rehne ke saath Israel ke sab se taweel muddat rehne wale wazir-e-azam hain, ne apni intikhabi muhim jang ke dauran apni qiyadat aur US Sadr Donald Trump ke saath qareebi taalluqat par chalayi hai. Trump un ki hamayat kar chuke hain. Un par corruption ke ilzamat ka muqadma chal raha hai, jinhein woh mustarad karte hain.
Hukumat banane ke liye unhein aik baar phir intihai daen bazu ke rehnumaon Itamar Ben-Gvir aur Bezalel Smotrich ki zaroorat pad sakti hai, jin donon par kai Maghribi mulkon ne pabandiyan laga rakhi hain.
Eisenkot ne Netanyahu par ilzam lagaya hai ke woh "khauf phailane, jhoot aur dhamkiyon ki muhim ka sahara le rahe hain", aur kaha ke unhein yaqeen hai ke Trump "awam ke muntakhab kisi bhi rehnuma ke saath mukammal taawun mein" kaam karenge. Un ka kehna hai ke agli hukumat ko chahiye ke woh Iran ko nuclear hathiyar hasil karne se roke, khwah woh taaqat ke zariye ho ya US ki hamayat se hone wale sifarati bandobast ke zariye.
Ittehadi hukumat ka hisab
Hukumat banane ke liye Knesset ke 120 arakin mein se kam az kam 61 ki hamayat zaroori hai. Eisenkot ne Arab jamaaton ke saath mil kar hukumat banane ko mustarad kar diya hai, agarchi tajziya nigar aisi surat dekhte hain jis mein woh bahar se un ki qiyadat mein aqliyati hukumat ki hamayat karein. Agar koi ittehad nahin ban saka toh Netanyahu agle saal aik aur election tak caretaker wazir-e-azam ke taur par barqarar reh sakte hain.
Yeh intikhab 7 October 2023 ko Hamas ki qiyadat mein hone wale hamle, jis mein Israel mein 1,200 log halak hue, aur us ke baad Gaza mein shuru hone wali jang ke baad pehla hai, jis mein Gaza ke mehkama-e-sehat ke ahalkaron ke mutabiq Israeli hamlon mein 74,000 log halak ho chuke hain. Israel ne is dauran Lebanon mein Hezbollah se bhi jang ki, 2025 mein Iran ke jawhari maqamat par 12 din tak fazai muhim chalai aur is saal United States ke saath mil kar Iran ke khilaf jang mein shamil ho gaya.
