Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told his supporters that the country’s Arab citizens were voting “in droves" as the country's election campaign reached its closing stages.

He said he hoped right-wing Israelis would help him “close the gap.”

Speaking in a video posted to his Facebook page, Mr Netanyahu said: “The right-wing government is in danger. Arab voters are coming out in droves to the polls. Left-wing organisations are bussing them out.

“We have no V15, we have Order 8 [code for emergency call up to IDF reserve duty], we have only you.
