Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would make a last-ditch effort Sunday to avoid the collapse of a coalition government weakened by the resignation of his defense minister.

With political pundits predicting an early election in March, Netanyahu, head of the right-wing Likud party, was to meet later in the day with his finance minister, who is leading a charge within the coalition toward a snap poll.

The minister, Moshe Kahlon of the center-right Kulanu party, will urge Netanyahu to set an election date promptly, Kulanu officials said.
