Fake letter claiming Kahanists have dropped out of Israeli election found in polling stations ■ Facebook removes Netanyahu video illegally discussing polls ■ Gantz calls on voters not be swayed by lies.. Haaretz reports.
Voting has begun in Israel’s unprecedented third election in one year, after the last two rounds failed to break the country’s political deadlock. Polling places will close at 10 P.M. local time, at which point the exit polls will be published.
The last polls before the election showed a slight boost to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s Likud, but not enough to break the impasse between the right-wing bloc and the center-left bloc. The Joint List, an Arab-majority alliance of factions and already the third-largest party, is expected to increase its strength even more. Visit Haaretz’s poll center to see where the parties stand.
