A series of polls yesterday showed that Binyamin Netanyahu’s right-wing electoral alliance, Likud-Beiteinu, is likely to take 32 to 35 seats in the 120-place parliament.

Its nearest rival, Labour, is predicted to get 16 or 17, and the extreme-right Jewish Home is expected to finish third, with 11 to 13 seats.

But about 15 per cent of voters are undecided and if a substantial proportion of those vote, they could have a marked impact on the final tallies.
