Millions in Israel are
voting in what is expected to be a close race between Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's party and a centre-left alliance.
The centre-left Zionist Union promises to repair relations with Palestinians and the international community.
Mr Netanyahu, whose party has trailed in opinion polls, vowed
on Monday not to allow the creation of a Palestinian state if he wins a
fourth term.
The economy and living standards have emerged as key issues. Polls opened at 07:00 (05:00 GMT) and are due to close at 22:00.
Results could be declared soon afterwards, but a lengthy
period of negotiations over the formation of the next coalition
government may follow.
