Netanyahu faces Israeli voters in first election since Oct. 7 and Gaza war

Israelis will go to the polls on Tuesday in what many describe as the most consequential election in years. It’s the first vote since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack and Israel’s war in Gaza. Prime Minister Netanyahu has been campaigning that he’ll keep Israel safe. But the opposition says Netanyahu failed to prevent the 2023 attack and is blocking an investigation into it. Nick Schifrin reports.
