Netanyahu announced thousands of new settler homes in annexed east Jerusalem, less than two weeks before the election AFP/AHMAD GHARABLIJERUSALEM: Israel is bracing for an unprecedented third election in under a year, with voters eyeing an end to the deadlock but polls indicating another tight race despite criminal charges against the prime minister.

Status quo in the polls could be good news for the prime minister, said Gideon Rahat, a political science professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Gantz, a former military chief, has sought to convince Israelis that the prime minister's legal woes will distract him from governing. Netanyahu has, ahead of past elections, been accused of making last-minute campaign pledges as a play for vital nationalist, right-wing support.

Joint List won a surprising 13 seats in the last election, making it the third-largest bloc in parliament.
