Today is election day in Israel and the polls are close to closing. A few hours ago, Netanyahu asked for an increase in polling time, as reports begin to emerge of a voter turnout of 74.3% so far, the highest in 38 years. Israel's election committee then rejected the Likud party's emergency request to extend voting hours. Netanyahu also made harsh claims earlier also with videos and already strongly worded letters in which they claimed that: "They are trying to steal the elections from us! ".
