After casting his ballot in Jerusalem, Netanyahu predicted the vote would be 'very close.' Throughout the day, he frantically begged supporters to vote.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's career is on the line as Israel holds its second national election this year, with voters deciding whether to give him another term in office despite a likely indictment on corruption charges.

The election marks their second showdown of the year after drawing even in the previous one in April. After voting, Lieberman reiterated his promise to avoid a third election and force a secular unity government between Likud and Blue and White. He has beseeched supporters to vote to stave off the prospect of a left-wing government he says will endanger Israel's security. He also has accused his opponents of conspiring with Arab politicians to "steal" the election, a message that has drawn accusations of racism and incitement.

Facebook on Tuesday punished Netanyahu's page for the second time during the campaign, briefly suspending his automated chat function after it illegally published an opinion poll in the days before the election. By early evening, the chat page was working again. Last week, the account was suspended for 24 hours after a post claimed that Arabs want to "annihilate all of us."

His proposal sparked a cascade of international condemnation, including from Europe and Saudi Arabia, an influential Arab country that has quiet, unofficial ties with Israel. Jordan's King Abdullah II said on Tuesday the proposed annexation would be a "disaster" for the region.

Claims supplements could 'balance' hormones in menopause criticisedOlympian Lisa Curry has drawn sharp criticism from health experts for implying women should avoid prescribed hormone replacement therapy and use supplements, which she sells HRT is known to cause cancer and all it does is delay something you will go through eventually anyway. I think said health experts may be on the wrong side of this one. Swimming non stop for a few years is almost identical to spending 6 years at University studying endocrinology. Athletes are, in the main, about as smart as a turnip and should be treated the same way. Thrown away after 6 months at the bottom of the fridge. NOW what are the dangers associated with hormone replacement therapy... PLEASE publicise those, as well.
