With Israel’s parliamentary elections set for February 10, the latest polls show the Center-Right bloc well ahead of its Center-Left rival. In one, reported on Thursday, the lead stood at 64 Members of Knesset to 56, but in effect was much larger because the 56 included 11 MKs from Arab parties that stand no chance of being included in a governing coalition. The lead is also, likely, even larger in effect given that polls are reliably skewed to the Left.
This lead has opened up over the past three weeks as Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu, whose party is traditionally the largest (though not in the 2006 elections, when it flopped) on the Right, has showcased some high-profile new additions and particularly Benny Begin, Dan Meridor, and Moshe Yaalon.

Italian President: Israel can count on our solidarity: President Shimon Peres met with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano on Tuesday. The two are expected to visit Yad Vashem. "Even today there are countries that preach death and destruction against Israel. Italy responds to such outcries with outrage, Israel can count on Italy's determination and solidarity," Napolitano said.
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano answered a Ynet question on Italy's failure to boycott Iran financially, saying, "The fact that we have economic and commercial ties with Iran does not mean that we are not doing out part in the UN's sanctions." Napolitano added that "the Iranian problem is not just Israel's. Iran is trying to spread nuclear weapons and intervene in the lives of many countries."
