Israel's 2019 national elections

Hello and welcome to Middle East Eye's Israeli elections live blog!

Israelis have one major question on their lips today: Can Benny Gantz oust Benjamin Netanyahu from the premiership after a decade in power.

What do the polls say? Maybe.

Netanyahu's Likud and Gantz's Blue and White were neck and neck heading into Tuesday. Though the prime minister has an easier path to power, many things could swing the election one way or another.

Voting ends at 10pm Jerusalem time, with an exit poll expected on the dot.

We'll be here all day blogging from inside Israel, with updates from our correspondents around the country.
