Polling stations are to open at 0500 GMT on Tuesday for Israel's second snap general election in three years in a ballot experts agree is likely to be a referendum on the Netanyahu years. With his rightwing Likud trailing the centre-left Zionist Union in the latest opinion polls, Netanyahu said that if his rivals were elected security would be compromised and they would give up total Israeli control over Jerusalem. "We will continue to build to fortify Jerusalem so its division will not be possible and it will remain united forever," he said on a tour of Har Homa, a settlement neighbourhood of annexed east Jerusalem.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday there would be no Palestinian state if he were reelected, in a last-ditch effort to woo rightwing voters on the eve of a general election.
