the joint will be the third largest political force in the knesset. we look at the implications of this unprecedented development. >> in a country where it takes up a fifth of the population the joint list is the third largest party in the knesset. it's an alignment of four parties running under one ticket and want to change the rules. it's believed if isaac herzog is chosen to form a coalition government he'd have to approach the joint list to participate. >> isaac herzog will call us we'll sit altogether before they join the joint list discuss it in the democratic way and decide what is the best for our community, our society and for changing the reality and

combatting racism. >> the party says it will prevent binyamin netanyahu from forming a rite wing government. that does not necessarily mean it will recommend isaac herzog. the alignment made up of islamists and nationalists. divisions are inevitable. none of the positions is to recommend isaac herzog. since we don't see real differences relating to the right of the palestinians, and the full equality, they are the citizens and jewish citizens withdraw from the or. the party voter tonne out is the highest. it's top. the block right wing policy and

the number of seats it wants puts it in a better position. >> what is for certain is there's major ideological differences among the members of the joint list. acknowledging that the differences could affect the party's ability to make decisions. for now, palestinians will hope the joint list will not disappoint them and most are happy with what is an un% dented experience -- unprecedented we go live to gill - what do you make of the likud victory. are you as surprised as the exit pollsters and the rest of us? look, no one thought binyamin netanyahu would win by a wide margin he did so reiterating to israelis that they could be

in danger if they lose the selection that the nuclear threat is immediate. the palestinian issue, international community could force israel to make concessions. >> israel's foreign relations didn't play much of a part in the election campaign. >> absolutely and the within why is because the palestinians ran away from the negotiating table. had they stayed at the negotiating table it could have been a big factor. no matter who would have won, they would not have been able to vans the peace process because the palestinians are not there at the table. >> how easy will it be for binyamin netanyahu to put a coalition government together. it will be easier for ntv to form a coalition.

we thought there would be major pressure to form a nationalist party, where the likud and xi jobbist could lead together. it shouldn't take long. >> binyamin netanyahu promised not to allow the cae eyeings of a palestinian state if he's prime minister for a record-breaking fourth term. i suppose domestic issues will take up most of his time. >> absolutely. that would have been the case. as long as the palestinians are not ready to make concessions. the focus is on socioeconomic okays. okays. -- issues. many of the arabs are poor. they'll have to work to brim the

gap and give the palestinians a better life. palestinians can only be jealous, they haven't had an election in 10 years, their government refuses that an international community discouraged them. >> what does a libbued government. led by -- likud government led by binyamin netanyahu mean for israel's strongest ally the u.s.? >> israel's relations with the people of america are strong. obama made mistakes throughout the middle east causing problems all over the region. as soon as obama was gone. relations will be better and relations between the other countries of the world will be better. america has a president that is more responsible. things will be better for america. >> the chief correspondent for the chief political post. police in the german is it fired
