Workers put the finishing touches on election campaign billboard showing Prime Minister and Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu in the central Israeli Town of Petah Tikva. Palestinian officials largely view Netanyahu's expected re-election with despair, fearing the Israeli hardliner's ambitious plans for settlement construction over the next four years could prove lethal to their dreams of a state. The Hebrew on billboards reads "I need you for strong Israel." (AP Photo/Oded Balilty)
