Elections in Israel: will the balance of power shift?

Gadi Eisenkot is a serious challenger to Netanyahu, but many of his plans are unclear, writes Berlingske:

“Nevertheless, we must hope that Israel gets a new government. Because this election is about something very fundamental: should Israel continue as a secular, democratic state, in keeping with the founding principles of Zionism? Or should religion be allowed to encroach further and further upon society, as Netanyahu – who faces corruption charges and whose Likud party is by no means religious – has allowed to happen for the sake of maintaining his grip on power?”
