Israelis began voting on Tuesday on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political survival in a fourth election in two years, with the veteran leader hoping his role in a rapid COVID-19 vaccine campaign will win him another term.
Opinion polls show the race too close to call. On trial on corruption charges he denies, Netanyahu, 71, is Israel's longest-serving head of government.
Since 2009, he has led the politically polarised nation where supporters hail him as "King Bibi" and opponents call him "crime minister".
