16 March 2015 Israel Election: An End Or New Era For Netanyahu?
By Kevin Connolly
Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking a fourth term, but the outcome is too close to call Israel election: Will outcome revive peace process? The coming week promises to be one of the most eventful and most unpredictable in the long and bumpy political life of Benjamin Netanyahu.
The man revered by his supporters as a global statesman and sniffily dismissed by one Israeli newspaper as "former furniture salesman" will know by the end of it if he is to remain prime minister of Israel.
He triggered Tuesday's election - the second in two years - after he decided that his right-of-centre coalition government was not working.
The plan was for a swift return to office at the head of a reshuffled coalition.
The final polls before voting day suggest that things may not be going to plan.
They give the Zionist Union - an alliance of Yitzhak Herzog's Labour Party and the Hatnuah movement headed by former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni - a clear lead over Mr Netanyahu's Likud.

Liberals across the globe are sending in their “Chad counters” as we wait.
I can’t believe that those who live in Israel would be stupid enough to get rid of Bibi, but I’ve been wroung about stupid before.
That’s what many of us thought about Obama voters.
pray for the peace of Jerusalem,
“I can’t believe that those who live in Israel would be stupid enough to get rid of Bibi”
I can’t believe that Jews living in this country would be stupid enough to continue blindly voting for democraps...
but apparently they do!
We re elected the Kenyan, voters do STOOPIDE things
Even if Likud is short a couple of votes, the conservatives have a better chance forming a government.
PRAY for Israel
You just cant fix stupid.You have those types all over the world and Israel is not immune.
that’s why we were founded as a republic. oh for those days.
People across the world probably couldn’t believe WE were stupid enough to reelect Obammie either!!!!!! Although Isreal culture IS center RIGHT we
ALL must pray for BIBI !!!!!!!!!! If he wins Obammie loses!!!!!!!
Well there is an old saying that you can’t fix stupid and for some reason a good portion of the public always gyrates towards socialism what invariably gets them in to trouble. Afterwards you always hear... We could have, we should have and why didn’t we? History just has a nasty habit of repeating itself.
May the apologists for Islamic colonization be crushed!
yes...voters do stupid things...don’t get me started...
Its a tight race... it will all depend on turnout. The Likud had better get its voters to the polls.
They’re open now and this is an election in which literally every vote counts.
My prayers are for Israel, what happens today.
People across the world thought we were stupid if we DIDN'T elect Obama. Polls showed Obama was far more popular in the rest of the world than he was here in the United States.
like lemmings jumping off a cliff.
