Netanyahu urges supporters to 'close this gap' ahead of Israeli election
With his party facing a surprise defeat in looming parliamentary elections, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rallied thousands of supporters in Tel Aviv Sunday, warning of a "real danger" he could lose the premiership of a country he has governed for the past six years.
The latest polls have shown Netanyahu's conservative Likud party trailing the centrist Zionist Union by four seats. The numbers don't rule out Netanyahu's chances to form a government, but they have rattled his party, sending it into a get-out-the-vote blitz. Netanyahu has delivered a series of media interviews in recent days and decided at the last minute to speak at the Tel Aviv rally in a bid to shore up votes ahead of Tuesday's election.
