I agree that parliamentary elections are tough to understand but Haaretz called it for Ganz - sp? - yesterday.
Haaretz is an far left-wing organ whose credibility is about on a par with the Guardian in Britain or the New York Times here in the US. I would put little value in anything they publish.
Many here described Haaretz as a rabid left-wing rag. If true, then it’s very likely Haaretz put out wishful headlines and are following the lead of fake news scammers.
