In a videotaped statement at his office, Netanyahu urges his supporters Tuesday to get out and vote. He says the gaps between his hawkish Likud party and the centre-left opposition need to be narrowed.
With recent opinion polls giving the centre-left Zionist Union a narrow lead, Netanyahu has appeared increasingly desperate in recent days.
The prime minister has used similar doomsday predictions to get supporters to the polls in previous elections.
