Netanyahu now behind in Israel polls

NEWS  FLASH:    A new poll released today by the Jerusalem Post shows that Benjamin Natanyahu's Likud Party is running behind the Zionist Party 22 seats to 24 seats for the parliament.    The election is less than 10 days away.

In the parliamentary system, the people elect representations to the parliament;   the winning party chooses i6s leader to be Prime Minister and form a government, usually having to form a coalition with another party to achieve 50%.   If Likud doesn't get the most seats, however, it would not be the leading party and Netanyahu would not be the PM.

So, according to this major newspaper in Israel, Netanyahu's speech to the U. S. Congress did not help his party's reelection chances.
