In one week, Israel will vote in a poll that's gearing up to be as defining for the country as it is challenging for its prime minister
Benjamin Netanyahu -- who was the country's youngest prime minister when he was elected in 1996, and now hopes to become its longest serving -- faces his toughest electoral challenge in 10 years.It comes in the shape of Benny Gantz, a former Chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, who has gathered together a"blue and white" alliance, named after the colors of the Israeli flag.
"People need to understand that if they want to compete against him they have to find a rival of his stature. But there is no one in his league. No one that can replace him," Cohen said.True to form, Netanyahu used his rallying speech in the town last month to lay into the opposition and the media."The left may have the media," he told the small but passionate crowd,"but we have the people.
