Israelis are set to to vote in one of the country's most keenly-fought general elections in years.

Tzipi Livni, Israel's foreign minister and leader of Kadima, is among the front-runners, and faces a challenge from Ehud Barak, defence minister and Labour leader.

But right-wing parties are making a big impression on voters, with Likud's Benjamin Netanyahu
and Avigdor Lieberman of the far-right Yisrael Beiteinu set to win a lot of support.
