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.

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.

HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani issued Decree No 17 of 2015, setting May 13 as the date for the election of members of the Central Municipal Council.

Head of the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) Annemie Neyts-Uyttebroek, on Wednesday, handed the mission’s final report to President of the Independent High Authority for the Elections (ISIE) Chafik Sarsar.

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.

Empêchés de tenir leurs sit-in et interdits d’organiser des conférences publiques, les partis de l’opposition, regroupés au sein de la CNLTD, restent mobilisés sur le terrain, comme en témoigne leur mission à In Salah pour soutenir les opposants au gaz de schiste.

Depuis quelques jours, ils ont entamé des contacts en vue d’organiser un congrès de l’opposition, prévu pour le mois d’avril. Selon Ahmed Hadibi, cadre d’Ennahda, « les contacts concerneront, dans une première phase, les partis réunis dans le cadre de la CNLTD avant d’être élargis aux autres partenaires ».
