In the last frantic days before the elections on Tuesday, the ruling party, Kadima, is already in disarray over what is expected to be its defeat at the hands of Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu.
Kadima leader Tzipi Livni is being attacked for the campaign she ran and plans are already being made to mount a leadership challenge immediately after the elections.
Less than a week before Israel decides, all the polls have the Likud leading Kadima by a margin of between four and 10 Knesset seats. This would give Mr Netanyahu various options to form a ruling coalition, since the right-wing and religious blocs together are, according to the polls, going to win an overall majority.
The knives are out for Ms Livni with supporters of her main rival, Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz, already calling for her resignation.
