Israel election 2022: Meet the far-right politician who could help bring back Benjamin Netanyahu

Tel Aviv — Israelis will vote on Tuesday for the fifth time in just four years to determine who should lead their country. The elections are to determine who will fill the 120 seats of Israel's parliament, called the Knesset. There are 13 different political parties fielding candidates. If one party were to win a simple majority of 61 seats, it could form a new government, but there hasn't been an Israeli election won so decisively in years.

Recent polls show no party will win 61 seats this week, so the leader of the party that wins the most votes gets the first chance to partner with other parties to make up the 61 seats in the Knesset and form a coalition government. If the party that wins the most votes can't build a coalition, the runner-up party gets a chance. 

Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was ousted last year after a dozen years in power, is asking Israeli voters to give him another chance in the nation's top job despite facing a corruption trial. Current Prime Minister Yair Lapid is hoping, on the other hand, that his brief stint as head of the caretaker government that took over when Netanyahu was ousted has proven his abilities as a leader.
