(News, Comment, Analysis)
Israel moving towards an expected October 27th election. It's the last possible date for the next election under Israeli law.
Parliament this week will rush to pass controversial pieces of legislation the government will run on as it seeks re-election.
Some of the laws likely to be torpedoed by Israel's courts but the controversy may be exactly what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his allies seek to fuel their supporters for the campaign.
Political polling suggests less support for Mr. Netanyahu's party and rapidly rising support for a party headed by former Chief of Staff General Gadi Eisenkot.
Eisenkot was a military secretary to former Prime Minister Ehud Barak elected in 1999 with the backing of then US President Bill Clinton's political consultants James Carville and Paul Begala.
Mr. Barak ensnared in controversy in recent years for his ties to financier-child sex offender-trafficker the late Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein victim the late Virginia Guiffre wrote of being sexually abused by a 'well-known former prime minister' in some versions of her autobiography published in countries with less stringent libel laws.
