Ahead of Tuesday's election, Israeli polls forecast Netanyahu win
Jerusalem - Final authorised opinion polls published Friday just days ahead of the Israeli general elections showed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heading for a fifth term in office, leading a right-wing coalition.
But while most polls saw Gantz's list as scooping slightly more votes than Likud, neither party was predicted to win more than 25 percent of seats in parliament. None gave a figure for undecided voters, although the number is reportedly high enough to swing the outcome. A poll by Smith Research for the Jerusalem Post published Friday showed Gantz's Blue and White, picking up 28 seats in the 120-member Knesset, with the right-wing Likud at its heels with 27.
