"Get out of the water, leave your homes and go vote for Likud," Netanyahu told beachgoers, referring to his political party. With four previous terms already under his belt, corruption charges looming and a rare formidable opponent, it seemed as though the Israeli prime minister would, after 10 straight years in power, finally be sunk. Netanyahu visited a beach north of Tel Aviv on election day, Tuesday, to encourage people to vote. While Netanyahu faces difficult talks aimed at building a coalition, Israel's attorney general is deciding whether to lay corruption charges against him. There is also talk in political circles that the prime minister may try to pass a law granting himself immunity from trial.
