An extremist Israeli lawmaker who was once relegated to the margins of Israeli politics is surging in the polls ahead of the country's November elections.

Israeli police say that the family of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has received a death threat and a bullet in the mail for the second time this week.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not leaving the political stage quietly in what appear to be the final days of his historic 12-year rule.

In the 1980s, Rabbi Meir Kahane’s violent anti-Arab ideology was considered so repugnant that Israel banned him from parliament and the U.S. listed his party as a terrorist group.

Exit polls by Israel's three main television channels projected the Religious Zionist Party will win six to seven seats, the best-ever showing by an extreme right-wing party. He is allied with Itamar Ben Gvir, head of the far-right Jewish Power party. Ben Gvir later became a lawyer who represented Jewish extremists suspected of attacking Palestinians. Ben Gvir has said he favors the expulsion of Arabs who are hostile to the state. In the lead-up to the election Ben Gvir sought to distance himself from Kahane's most extreme views.

In its early years, “Larry King Live” was based in Washington, which gave the show an air of gravitas. “Do you know who I am?”“Always loved Larry King and will miss him,” Seinfeld tweeted Saturday. Originating from Washington on the Mutual network, “The Larry King Show” was eventually heard on more than 300 stations and made King a national phenomenon. “Larry King Live” debuted on June 1, 1985, and became CNN’s highest-rated program.
