La apuesta de centrar su campaña en el eje de la seguridad, que llegó al clímax en su discurso ante el Congreso de Estados Unidos el pasado día 3, puede haberle salido por la culata a Benjamín Netanyahu. El primer ministro israelí, que se ha quedado estancado en el segundo puesto en los últimos sondeos autorizados antes de las legislativas del próximo martes, hechos públicos este viernes, se ha visto forzado a multiplicar su presencia en la campaña para pasar al contraataque.

On Saturday, security agents briefly detained about 40 Sudanese opposition leaders who were to attend a public forum in El Obeid, capital of North Kordofan. Also on Saturday, Yasir Arman, secretary-general of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N) stated that the recent attacks on government positions in South Kordofan have no relation to the peaceful campaign of the Sudan Appeal forces who aim to boycott the general election, scheduled for April this year.

With four days to go ahead of vote, Netanyahu's Likud suffers blow in polls, receiving only 22 Knesset seats, while Herzog's Zionist Union reaches 26; Bayit Yehudi and Yesh Atid tied at 12, Yedioth Ahronoth poll says.

The Zionist Union has increased its lead over the Likud, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party polling at 22 as opposed 26 for his main rival, Isaac Herzog, giving his center-ticket a clear lead over the ruling party with only four days before Israelis head to the ballots.

Four days ahead of Tuesday’s election, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is fighting for his political life.

The Zionist Union’s lead is growing. The Likud’s satellite parties on the Right and Moshe Kahlon’s Kulanu are biting off chunks of its support.

Netanyahu’s fate appears to be in the hands of President Reuven Rivlin, with whom he has sparred for three decades. His refusal to endorse Rivlin’s run for president could come back to haunt him next week, when the president begins the process of assigning a candidate to form a new government.

The Electoral Complaints Commission (ECC) has announced the removal of three top provincial level officials of the Independent Election Commission (IEC) from their positions each for 10 years on charges of fraud.

The announcement came Wednesday when the ECC revealed that 25 permanent officials of the election commission were accused of fraud and violating the election law in last year's presidential election.
