Likud

Israel is voting in parliamentary elections Tuesday to elect 120 deputies for the Knesset.

Polling stations opened at 7 a.m. local time and are to close at 10 p.m., with nearly six million Israelis eligible to vote, according to reports of the BBC News.

Israelis voted March 17 in an election expected to be a close-fought battle between the centre left and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who ruled out a Palestinian state in a last-ditch appeal to the right.
     

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, trailing in opinion polls two days before a parliamentary election, on March 15 implored right-wing voters to turn out and "stop a left-wing government from coming to power."
   

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, trailing in opinion polls two days before a parliamentary election, publicly offered on March 15 the Finance Ministry portfolio to a potentially king-making rival.
   

Despite Benjamin Netanyahu's best efforts to flag security as the biggest issue keeping Israelis awake at night, the reality is far more mundane. For most voters, it is the price of housing that matters.

Final opinion polls published Friday put Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rightwing Likud party four seats behind its centre-left rival with four days to go before a general election.

Several polls released on Friday -- the last day opinion surveys can be released before Tuesday's vote -- showed the Zionist Union pulling further ahead of Likud after an intense campaign.

Israelis vote next week in an election seen as a referendum on the tenure of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who could lose but still secure a new term in power.
      

Six days before Israel votes in a snap general election, the centre-left Zionist Union opened a lead of several points over the ruling rightwing Likud party, a poll found on March 11.        

The Israeli government on Jan. 30 published tenders to build 430 new settler homes in the occupied West Bank, the head of an NGO that monitors settlement activity told AFP.
 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won another term as leader of the ruling rightwing Likud ahead of a snap election, the faction said Jan. 1, easily defeating his lone hard-right challenger.
