With just hours to go before voting begins in one of the closest, bitterest and most contentious elections in recent Israeli history, host Simon Spungin is joined by Haaretz editor-in-chief Aluf Benn and columnist Anshel Pfeffer.

Is there nothing that Bibi won't do, say or promise to remain in power? Will a coalition of former allies, from across the political spectrum, join forces to push Netanyahu out? And what do the prime minister's recent comments about annexing parts of the West Bank really mean?
