> With just over three weeks until Israel’s election, a poll indicates that no party is on track to win enough seats for a majority. At least 61 of the Knesset’s 120 seats are needed, making coalition-building likely. Parties supporting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are projected to take 53 seats, compared with 49 for his opponents, while Palestinian Israeli parties are polling at 13 seats.
