we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter when you call home al-jazeera international bringing the news and current affairs that matter to you. al-jazeera. there was a lot of there in this community and that is where we lived on the way when they were going to look for to get all the while making what up when this is our own man she worked with local women to solve the main problem plaguing their community was not also the problem auction plan had been bought as a priority and led the way in transforming a difficulty into a success so empowering a woman to me is standing economy. and women make change on al-jazeera. no clear winner and a lot of negotiating the vote count continues in israel's elections.

i'm sorry this is just there are live from doha also coming up the u.s. piles on more sanctions as iran says an attack on saudi arabia's oil facilities was a warning from hoofy rebels. women in south africa are 5 times more likely to be killed country holds an extraordinary session of parliament over gender violence. mornings over the environmental impact of dollars from his planned war on the us mexico border. israel 2nd the. action on the 6 months has ended with even less clarity than the

last one votes still being counted and the latest update shows the 2 main parties prime minister binyamin netanyahu has the code and the blue and white of benny gantz all tied both have many options for a coalition there's even talk about trying for a unity government minus nothing yeah but again our coverage in tel aviv with hari force it's. the music blared benjamin netanyahu smiles but more than 5 hours after voting finished it was clear this was no victory even if he was far from ready to admit defeat with such. a government committed to the jewish state there neither will nor can there be a government that relies on. arab parties but the exit polls suggest he doesn't have the numbers to dictate he may not be given 1st chance to form a government 5 months ago benjamin netanyahu waited several hours before making his speech waiting for the numbers to swing in his favor this time he's waited longer

the numbers appear to have swung in the other direction 5 months ago he made a victory speech this time it was a speech of defiance it seems clear that his grip on power has weakened the to be ticked off at the opposition blue and white headquarters the mood was very different former army chief benny gantz didn't repeat his premise chilled victory declaration from april instead his tone was a man ready for a grave responsibility and if he had thought so we need to be patient it wasn't an easy mission as we see now netanyahu did not succeed in his mission when comparison proved that the idea of blue and white succeeded big time and is here to stay it was equal vindication for i believe i'm a lesson yos former ally who collapsed the coalition talks pushed his secular agenda and nearly doubled his israel between 2 parties vote. we have only one option a national liberal government. israel by to new. and and white the

presumption is that he demand likud 1st replace netanyahu is leader but that something it shows no sign of readiness to do. a. couple netanyahu is the leader of the liquid support for him is strong and in times of crisis it gets stronger it all came after a friend etic final day of campaigning gantz aping netanyahu is tactics urging supporters off the beach telling him his party was on the verge of defeat at yahoo seem to spend the day in one long emergency broadcast on social media and in person repeatedly warning his right wing base that arabs were voting in great numbers. the leader of the mainly palestinian israeli joint list iman said netanyahu incitement had come at a heavy price causing instead a surge in support it's possible we did see some form of backlash people saying they were going to come to the polls in in rope so we are here we come and there and this is what we can do in israeli politics or his office says he's due to have

talks soon with benny gantz raising the possibility that he could offer him some kind of support benjamin netanyahu spoke on stage of the difficulties and pressure of this campaign with his 1st pre indictment hearing on corruption charges jus in 2 weeks and the prospects of fighting them from the prime minister's office now diminished the pressure looks set to intensify our equals at al-jazeera television . joins us now live from west jerusalem results don't make the political path ahead any clearer do they. no they don't when benjamin netanyahu dissolved parliament in april he took a gamble it failed to form a coalition and the president was about to ask benny gantz to try to form a coalition instead netanyahu dissolved parliament before the president could do that hoping that in the coming months he could rally his support and win enough seats to get a majority and continue to be the pro the prime minister of israel it's not worked

netanyahu is crown is slipping but it hasn't yet for enough it's not all over yet for this very resourceful and wily israeli politician but the latest results in show it's going to be very very hard for him his likud now as 31 seat spending his blue and white house 32 giving him 56 gallons in all but with his coalition partners good 55 in all with that potential coalition partners it means the president is quite possibly may give benny gantz the 1st opportunity the 1st chance to form a coalition government something. so if that's the case how or what sort of form formulation is my we be looking at all kind of scenarios for coalitions. well for benny gantz to manage to be the 1st to form this unity coalition government has gone and says he wants to form a unity government he'll need the support of the arab lists now they became this is

where most palestinian israelis cast their vote they became the 3rd largest bloc on the leader of the arab list iman oday he said that the phone the for the 1st time an arab leaders said this he's expecting he wants to be the leader of the opposition and that means he for see a unity coalition government and iman oday needs to give the president needs to be one of the political leaders who sets of the president's yes we think benny gantz will be the next prime minister can become the next prime minister of israel this thing goes away and tries to form a unity government but to do that he needs likud supports likud is led by netanyahu that will be unacceptable to blue and white so the hope is that certainly blue and white that if they get the chance over the money over the coming weeks they'll chip away at the likud's loyalty to netanyahu as likud begin to stare in the face the prospect of a period in opposition on the recall of the contre the netanyahu could survive by

getting support from labor or from blue and white supporters so there is still a chance for netanyahu but it's possible that counts as the 1st bite of the cherry semi bourbon smith from west jerusalem now on the day brahim has the palestinian reaction from ramallah in the occupied west bank. palestinians are receiving the news of the israeli elections and their results with a lot of indifference yesterday the palestinian prime minister mohammed if they talk about that in his speech in bethlehem he said that to mean contenders do not have an ending the israeli occupation over the palestinian territory on their agendas but the p.l.o. secretary general. has said the main difference between the 2 main contenders is that one meaning benjamin netanyahu wants to deepen what he called the apartheid and the other meaning benny gantz who wants to continue and preserve the status quo

which is reso occupation of the palestinian territory now moving to the palestinian street that hasn't been really following the news of the elections and the results they don't really see that their lives is going to get any better at recent poll by a palestinian research center has found that their main concern among palestinians is their financial situation being able to pay the bills really the palestinian authority has been facing a deep financial crisis due to partially israel's decision to withhold part of the taxes it withholds on behalf of the palestinian authority a palestinian woman shot by israeli security forces new york implied west bank has died of her injuries in hospital israeli media say she was seen waving a knife hollandia checkpoint witnesses say the woman lay on the ground for at least 15 minutes without receiving medical help. u.s.
