Netanyahu, rivals trade attacks over Iran as clock counts down to Israel vote
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrapped up his campaign to remain in power on Monday with a claim that Israel faced potential annihilation at the hands of Iran should his election rivals prevail. Over the course of a neck-and-neck race, Netanyahu has campaigned heavily on his security credentials, insisting only he can "finish the job" against Tehran and painting his main challenger, ex-army chief Gadi Eisenkot, as soft on Israel's sworn foe.
