October 7 Scars Push Israel's First-Time Voters to the Right

Like hundreds of thousands of Israelis, Amihai will be of voting age for the first time since Hamas carried out its attack on October 7, 2023. When he casts his ballot this month, he has one priority above all -- security. This FRANCE 24 English report explores how the trauma of the October 7 attack is shaping the political views of young Israeli voters. For many first-time voters like Amihai, the experience of living through the attack and its aftermath has made security the defining issue of their lives. The video examines the broader political shift among Israeli youth, who are increasingly leaning right as they seek leaders they believe can protect them from future threats. It also considers the long-term implications of this generational shift for Israel's political landscape and the prospects for peace in the region.
