> Former Israeli ambassador to the US Michael Oren says many Israelis are shocked that Gadi Eisenkot's bloc narrowly leads Benjamin Netanyahu's, though the count could still shift. If Eisenkot cannot secure the 61 seats needed to form a government, Israel may hold another election with Netanyahu still prime minister. Oren says time is on Netanyahu's side.
