Israel will hold an election on October 27, and the vote is being watched closely across the African continent, from Morocco in the north to South Africa in the south. The outcome could show whether Israel's relations with African countries can withstand the fallout from the war on Gaza.
The war on Gaza, fought by Israel, has affected the country's international relations, including its ties with African states. According to the report by Al Jazeera, the election is seen in Africa as a possible test of those relationships.
The source text available contains no further details on candidates, parties, polling or the positions of individual African governments, so this report does not cover them.
