Israel Holds Third Election in a Year

VOA News

   Voters in Israel are casting ballots Monday in the country's third
   election in the past 12 months.

   They are deciding whether to give Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a
   new term, or to go in a new direction with former military chief Benny
   Gantz.

   Polls ahead of election day suggested neither candidate's party would
   have enough support to form a ruling coalition.

   That was the case in the last two elections, and after weeks of
   negotiations there was no resolution.
