Early turnout high

Israel's election committee has said as of 10am the turnout of voters has been the highest the country has seen for 30 years.

Politicians have been fretting about low turnout, with voter fatigue and the holidays predicted to keep Israelis from polling stations.

There has been some suggestion that Benny Gantz's Blue and White party has the most to lose from low turnout, so this could be a good sign for them.
