France 24, the Financial Times, PBS NewsHour and CNBC report that tens of thousands of Israelis living abroad are flying home to vote in Tuesday’s election, because Israel does not allow voting from abroad except for diplomatic staff. One group helping organise the trips estimates that as many as 80,000 may return. The Fly and Vote initiative helps expatriates arrange travel. France 24 reports that polls predict a tight race, and the Financial Times says analysts link the scale of the return to opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. Israel has about 7.3 million eligible voters, according to the International Foundation for Electoral Systems.
