以色列人周二前往投票站，决定本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的政治命运。内塔尼亚胡是以色列任职时间最长的总理，正面临其数十年政治生涯中最重大的考验之一。
Israelis head to polling stations Tuesday to decide the political fate of Benjamin Netanyahu, the country’s longest-serving Prime Minister who faces one of the most consequential tests of his decadeslong political career.
当地时间上午7点至晚上10点（美国东部时间凌晨1点至下午4点），以色列人可投票选举议会代表。这是自2023年10月7日巴勒斯坦激进组织哈马斯发动恐怖袭击以及随后以色列在加沙地带开战以来，该国举行的首次选举。
From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time (1 a.m. to 4 p.m. EDT), Israelis can cast votes for representatives in the Knesset, in the first election in the country since the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist attacks by Palestinian militant group Hamas and the subsequent Israeli war in the Gaza Strip.
自那以来，内塔尼亚胡领导下的以色列在中东各地展开激进的军事行动——与伊朗开战，支持西岸的定居者袭击和驱逐行动，并对黎巴嫩和也门的激进组织发动打击。
Since then, Israel under Netanyahu has pursued an aggressive military campaign across the Middle East—going to war with Iran, backing settler attacks and displacement in the West Bank, and carrying out strikes against militant groups in Lebanon and Yemen.
周二的选举被广泛视为对内塔尼亚胡领导力以及以色列人是否愿意在不确定局势中改变路线的公投。而根据民调，结果远未确定。
Tuesday’s election is widely seen as a referendum on Netanyahu’s leadership and Israelis’ willingness to change course amid uncertainty. And according to polls, the outcome is far from certain.
