"The warm relations between Israel, Russia and the other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) will remain unchanged regardless of whoever wins the elections," Avigdor Lieberman said.
Lieberman underlined that "there is a consensus over [the Russian] matter in the Israeli society."
Israel, home to millions of people from the former Soviet Union, has refused to support the Western sanctions against Russia over the crisis in Ukraine, and the country's authorities have announced that they will continue exporting agricultural products to Russia, not bowing down to EU pressure.
In August 2014, Russia introduced a one-year ban on certain food imports from the European Union, the United States, and other countries that had imposed sanctions against it.
The latest poll, published by Haaretz on Thursday, indicates a growing lead for Isaac Herzog over Netanyahu's party. The Zionist Union is polling 24 seats in the Knesset seat against 21 for Likud.
