SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Tzipi Livni, Israeli Foreign Minister: "To take that extra step - because it's a heart beat away from us - that victory depends not only on my ability to be exposed and to reach everywhere, but also on your ability to take that extra mile in the technical level of bringing more people and telling everyone that they can not afford not to vote, because not to vote is a choice." 11. Livni walking out as supporters applaud STORYLINE: Campaigning in the Israeli general elections continued on Wednesday, with two prime ministerial candidates stepping up their efforts in further attempts to win over undecided voters. With less than a week to go until the nation votes, Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu - who is leading the race according to polls - toured a Jerusalem market on Wednesday. The Jerusalem market is a stop candidates must visit during campaigning and is considered to be an accurate measure of public support. As Netanyhu walked the market streets surrounded by security guards, crowds of supporters gathered around him. His visit was eventually cut short due to the commotion caused by supporters. Meanwhile, Israeli Foreign Minister and head of the Kadima party, Tzipi Livni, delivered a speech to party supporters where she encouraged them to keep pushing the party line and urging people to vote for her. "They can not afford not to vote," she told supporters. Israel's national election is on February 10. Netanyahu and Livni are both running for Prime Minister. Polls show Livni trailing the front-runner, hardline Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu, with Defence Minister Ehud Barak in third place. The latest polls show Netanyahu's Likud Party and its allies winning the most votes in the new parliament, paving the way for Netanyahu to become premier. Analysts have indicated he might try to broaden his coalition by teaming up with the parties of Barak or Livni. One of the top issues for Israeli voters is Israel's war in Gaza. Barak said Israel would respond to quiet from Gaza with quiet of its own, but said he would deal another "stronger blow" if necessary. Livni, too, has been threatening to hit Hamas. But Netanyahu is going one step further, advocating removal of Hamas from power in Gaza.
