Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will seek re-election in Israel’s upcoming national vote, his Likud party announced Wednesday.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu will run in the next elections and, God Willing, he will win,” the party said on Telegram.
Netanyahu, who is Israel‘s longest-serving prime minister, has led his country through three years of war, and is currently on trial for corruption.
Netanyahu had previously said he would stand for re-election in the vote, scheduled to be held by late October. He has served as prime minister for nearly two decades across multiple terms.
He has also been wanted since 2024 to appear before the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip. (AFP)
