OCCUPIED JERUSALEM — A new poll shows Israeli prime minister's hardline Likud Party handily winning the Jan. 22 elections despite the entry of a dovish new party into the race. The Dialog poll gives Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud 39 of parliament's 120 seats, days after the party elected a slate of candidates that is more hawkish than the previous one. It gives seven seats to the new party of former foreign minister Tzipi Livni . Livni, who casts herself as an alternative to Netanyahu in the vote, took those seats away from other centrist parties, not Likud. — AP
