"We urge our electorate to choose Likud over other right-wing parties-satellites if they don't want to see a left-wing government being established," center-right parliamentarian from Likud and chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Zeev Elkin told Sputnik.
Under Israel's electoral system, the duty to form the next government does not automatically fall to the leader of the largest party but rather to the political figure that has the best chance of putting together a coalition government.
"We still have time till the elections, and the polls' results may change," Zeev Elkin asserted underlining that over 10 percent of voters remain undecided.
The battle for the undecided voter will continue to escalate as a major right-wing rally is set for Sunday in Tel Aviv. Titled "United for the Land of Israel," the rally is being organized in response to Saturday night's left-wing demonstration when over 40,000 demonstrators gathered, demanding Benjamin Netanyahu be replaced.
The latest poll, published by Haaretz on Thursday, indicates a growing lead for Labor party leader Isaac Herzog and centrist Tzipi Livni's Zionist Union over Netanyahu's party. The Zionist Union is polling 24 seats in the Knesset seat against 21 for Likud.
On March 17, Israel will hold the 20th parliamentary elections. In December 2014, Netanyahu declared that he wanted the Parliament to be dissolved and to hold an early elections in March, two years before the fixed date.
