They have a direct phone line to each other, bypassing secretaries, which they use three or four times a day.

Yitzhak Mordechai, a former defense minister who entered the campaign for Monday's election with the sole aim of unseating Netanyahu, finally withdrew Sunday, recognizing that Netanyahu would be the main beneficiary if he stayed in the race. "Barak's best chance of winning was if Mordechai withdrew and allowed him a clear shot at winning it in the first round," says TIME Jerusalem bureau chief Lisa Beyer.
