An Israeli woman walks past a poster for Israel’s right-wing opposition Likud party leader Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on February 8, 2009. Netanyahu remained the frontrunner ahead of next week’s elections, according to three polls. Likud is credited with 25 to 27 mandates in the 120-seat parliament as compared with 22 to 23 for Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni’s Kadima party, the surveys showed.
