JERUSALEM, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a fight for political survival in Israel's election on Tuesday, with voters weighing his leadership after the 2023 Hamas-led attacks, wars in Gaza and with Iran, and Israel's deepening international isolation.

Tens of thousands of Israelis are returning home to vote in a tight election.

Israelis will go to the polls on Tuesday in what many describe as the most consequential election in years. It's the first vote since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack and Israel's war in Gaza. Prime Minister Netanyahu has been campaigning that he'll keep Israel safe. But the opposition says Netanyahu failed to prevent the 2023 attack and is blocking an investigation

On Tuesday, Israel will hold its first parliamentary elections since the Hamas terrorist attacks on Oct. 7, 2023. Israel has been on a war footing ever since. This election is in part a referendum on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's aggressive tactics. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman reports.

Israel's inclusion into the Pacific region's main political body has drawn sharply contrasting reactions.

Israel’s military chief resisted the prime minister, who then pressed in recent days for a separate action, short of an overt strike, according to an official and a person briefed on the matter.

Tens of thousands of Israelis living abroad are expected to fly in for this month's election. That's according to AID Coalition, a U.S.-based nonprofit focused on strengthening Israel's democracy.
