Likud hopes speech will help party pull ahead

An unnamed Knesset member in the Likud party tells the Ynet news website he hopes Netanyahu’s speech will garner votes for the “faltering” party.

“It’s all up in the air for the Likud right now, and the question is whether Netanyahu will rise up or not,” the MK says. “We hope the speech earns us back some mandates.”

Friday’s polls had the Zionist Union at a slight edge over the Likud party, with a projected 25-23, and 23-22 in two surveys. A survey on the Walla news site had the two parties tied at 23.
