Visibly frantic, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is in the fight of his political life in Tuesday's elections.

FILE - In this March 25, 2019 file photo, President Donald Trump welcomes visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House in Washington. Netanyahu, locked in a razor tight race and facing the likelihood of criminal corruption charges, a decisive victory in Tuesday, Sept. 17, vote may be the only thing to keep him out of the courtroom.

Throughout the abbreviated campaign, Netanyahu has seemed to create new headlines at will. One day he is jetting off for meetings with world leaders. The next, he claims to unveil a previously undisclosed Iranian nuclear site. Then he vows to annex parts of the occupied West Bank. Nearly every day, he issues unfounded warnings about the country’s Arab minority “stealing” the election, drawing accusations of incitement and racism.

Netanyahu has turned to a familiar playbook — presenting himself as a global statesman who is uniquely qualified to lead the country while also portraying himself as the underdog, lashing out at perceived domestic enemies who he claims are conspiring against him. That was followed by a message on his Facebook page calling on voters to prevent the establishment of a government that includes “Arabs who want to destroy us all.”

Although Netanyahu denies all charges, it is widely believed that he hopes to be able to form a narrow coalition of hard-line and religious parties willing to grant him immunity from prosecution. Lieberman is once again playing hard to get. His Yisrael Beitenu party has emerged as a likely kingmaker, and he is demanding the formation of a secular unity government.

Hope the Jewish people vote for change they want/ need. Better for everyone.

JonLemire Dnald Trump hates it when world leaders come to him needing help. 😳 🥴😂🤣

He deserves to be in a fight to avoid going to prison

JonLemire Maybe lock up some Palestinian babies in cages? Seems to keep rabid Trump base excited here. IlhanMN

JonLemire Like Trump, he's facing jail if he loses

JonLemire Let him be the first of the new world order of tyrants to fall.

JonLemire This is news to watch. Trump's buddy.

'Visibly frantic' lmao. This is journalism? Really? No, it's leftist narrative being pushed on everyone. Shameful reporting. What do you people do? Keep a dictionary of sensational adverbs?

JonLemire I hope he loses, I suppose Putin has his finger on the scale in that election too!

JonLemire You can bet he will call in the Kremlin voter fraud team on this... already stories being written about how the Arab vote could decide his fate.

Hope he loses

AP...always propaganda.

Hopefully, Israel will wake up and push him out the door. He is a hate monger like our President.

Visibly partisan, the Associated Press shows their political bias by using loaded verbiage to present Bibi Netanyahu in a negative light. When, in reality, he is favored to win an unprecedented additional term as Israeli Prime Minister.

Vote him out.

He’s in Trump’s same position. If he doesn’t win, he gets indicted.

Israelis are smart. They won't vote for a self destroying option that is the left wing.

Truly hope he gets voted out.

It'll be interesting to see if Russia helps IsraeliPM steal the election, like they're going to help realDonaldTrump. Trump wants their help, just like 2016, mind you...just ask GStephanopoulos.

Visibly frantic? Why color the story that way when the photo shows something very different?

Good!

BOTH these IDIOTS have to be booted out by the VOTERS in their countries!

Netanyahu is a crook - it wasn't long ago that evidence surfaced in Israel that confirmed that fact. He's also got his nose up Trump's rear end. Ben wants that good American $$$$ and most of us are tiring of Israel with their hand out expecting us to put something in it.

Good!

Netanyahu is a dictator, an egoist and a failure at protecting his country Gee - sounds like someone else we know...

Fake news. They say that every election. He'll win.,....,bigly !

Trump’s endorsement is the kiss of death.

He will win. He’s corrupt. He will win.

🤞Send him packing and hope he is tried for any corruption they find him guilty of 👍👍

Do over! WTH? LOL! When ya loose you loose, so go home!

Nah.

Fight of his life? I doubt it. Someway, he'll invoke a Meat Muppet One relationship and they'll go crazy for him. Israel has never had it so good and I seriously doubt the people are going to give a shit.

if you are fighting for life. the other side is already winning. BENjamin benjamin. crying on the floor. BENjamin BENjamin, please use the door. BENjamiN BENjamin please be: NO MORE. you wanted trust. and now you are bust. this is what happens. when you drive the trust bus.

And down he goes!
