                  Israelis Vote in Election Favoring Netanyahu

   Israelis are voting Tuesday in a parliamentary election that is
   expected to bring a third term for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
   Opinion polls leading up to the vote have shown an alliance of Mr.
   Netanyahu`s Likud party and the nationalist Yisrael Beitenu party
   winning the most seats.
   The centrist, main opposition Labor party and the far-right Jewish Home
   party are projected to finish far behind.
   Mr. Netanyahu needs a coalition to retain control of the 120-seat
   parliament, where no party has ever held a majority on its own.
   The next government faces a number of challenges, including increasing
   diplomatic isolation over Israel`s policies toward Palestinians, a
   slowing economy and the threat of Iran developing possible nuclear
   weapons.
