Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces serious challenges in the upcoming general elections on October 27.

His campaign has been overshadowed by many accusations that he failed to prevent the October 7, 2023, attacks, despite reportedly being warned they would take place.

Several other warnings were allegedly communicated to the prime minister.

So, as calls grow for accountability, what are his chances?
