Israelis go to the polls on Tuesday for a second General Election in just five months. What happens matters, not only in Israel but also beyond it.

Here are five of The Most important things are to know.

The Winner will lead to a regional super power

Israel has The Strongest military in the Middle East (and is widely believed to have a nuclear arsenal), and the Prime Minister decides when to send it in action.

Although the country is not fighting any full-scale wars at the moment, it is the ever-present risk of fresh conflict will break out, with its regional adversaries.

The two main contenders for the Premier League have both positioned themselves so hard on the security of the incumbent, Benjamin Netanyahu , followed by a strategy of air strikes and covert action against threats from neighboring countries, while his most prominent Challenger, Benny Gantz , is a former military chief, on whose watch that many such operations were carried out.

Who wins, decide how you with the greatest Dangers of the growing presence on Israel 's borders, the forces supported by Iran, Israel 's arch-enemy, and a belief that Iran wants to develop a nuclear Bomb - and whether the danger of A War , the consequences of which, observers have warned, be catastrophically.

It relates to The Future of the Palestinians

the fate of the Palestinians depends on who is in power in Israel , since Israel occupied the country, they strive for a state of their own.

Mr Netanyahu says he will never agree to a sovereign Palestinian state, with powers as in any other country (Something he says is a serious threat to Israel ).

(covering about 30% of the West Bank ). Because they are on occupied territory, the settlements apply illegal under International Law , although Israel disputes.

The Palestinians want the settlements removed, saying such a move would be impossible for a Palestinian state and to kill The Peace process once and for all.

It is less clear where Benny Gantz stands on the issue. He has not said whether or not he takes the idea of a Palestinian state, although, like Mr Netanyahu, he rejects withdrawal from all the occupied West Bank and has also said he will not divide Jerusalem, the Eastern part want the Palestinians to be the capital of a future state.

While Mr Netanyahu is politically driven right-wing and ideological, of Jewish claims to The Land on the basis of The Bible , Mr. Gantz is more than centrists and moderates.

The result will not be decided on Election night,

That sounds paradoxical, but in Israel the political System - a form of proportional representation - means that there is so much about political negotiations after an Election , than to do it with the survey itself.

Israel has always been governed by coalitions of radical right-wing or left-hand blocks (or, occasionally, the governments of national Unity ) - as the result of a choice depends on what will smaller parties demand that The Winner (such as Ministerial posts or budget commitments) In Return for their support.

Sometimes a candidate whose party wins The Most votes on The Night will be for the Prime Minister , if you form a majority coalition with at least 61 seats in the Parliament.

you have several weeks to try to do this after the Election - and if you don't manage them, you can nominate The President , another candidate for Prime Minister (in 2009, Mr Netanyahu's Likud party was second place but he ended up re-appointed as the PM). In April's Election , Mr Netanyahu won The Most votes, but not to form a coalition, which he why he called a snap poll for the 17. September.

voters don't care about what show you expect to

surveys that the cost of living is more of a priority, the Israelis as a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The safety is also high on the agenda.

Perhaps surprisingly to outsiders, accusations of corruption against Prime Minister Netanyahu, which may be charged in the near future, are not particularly bother the voters, especially someone right in The Middle .

But The Fear (especially among left-wing voters), is that the Israeli democracy is in danger grown, amid concern about the expectations that Mr Netanyahu will seek a coalition agreement on the legislation on immunity from prosecution while in office and the planned reform would allow the governments to overturn decisions of the Supreme court (seen by critics as another way to Netanyahu for sure).

An important Problem is to cross right-left-political borders, and that conscripting ultra-Orthodox Jews -with the exception currently of The Draft in the military.

Failure to agree, this was among the factors contributing to the collapse, led by Mr Netanyahu's coalition in December 2018, the release April the choice. The same Problem also brought an end to the negotiations for the formation of a new coalition, the default of this survey.

Keep your eye on these two

Apart from Mr Netanyahu and Mr is Gantz, there are two other important figures that could make a Big Difference to what happens next.

Avigdor Lieberman , An ally-turned-rival of the Prime Minister , Mr Lieberman, the right wing of the secular Yisrael Beiteinu (Israel Our home) party.

His resignation, Netanyahu's coalition in November 2018 (when he was at too weak in dealing with militants in the Gaza strip) which left the Prime Minister with a majority of only one. The Following month, The Coalition collapsed. If his party performs as well as polls predict, Mr Lieberman could hold The Balance of power.

But he said the only way he will help restore Mr Netanyahu's office is, if he agrees to a government of national Unity and divided the power with Benny Gantz , the Blue and White Party - Something that the Prime Minister is excluded.

Ayelet Shaked - Netanyahu's former justice minister is the head of the religious-nationalist Yamina (to the Right) Alliance. The grouping will be the crucial to Netanyahu's ability to put together a government coalition.

Although Ms Shaked is also a rival of Netanyahu, she said, they assist in the formation of a right-wing government. To remove if this is sufficient Yisrael Beiteinu is the ability to make or break a Netanyahu-led coalition, remains to be seen.

Politically hard-right, Ayelet Shaked advocates annexing parts of the occupied West Bank under interim Israeli control, in past peace deals with the Palestinians, and says that if Netanyahu form the next government coalition forms, they will make sure he follows through on his commitment to it.
