JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israelis vote next week for the second time in less than six months in a election that could see Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu win a record fifth term - or end his decade-long dominance of Israeli politics.
He faces new and formidable challengers to his reign and, after the vote, possible criminal charges in three corruption cases. Recent polls have shown Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party tied with the centrist Blue and White. They also show that neither party will secure an outright majority.
