8:02 pm
to begin the program in israel, where people have been voting for the 5th time in less than 4 years. early figures suggest there's been an increase in turn out with numbers not same in 23 years. analysts say the biggest issue is whether people are for or against former prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who is facing corruption charges. he'll need to break a long standing deadlock in the can. s it and take 61 states to regain power, to get them his le could party is turning it to the far right. it's expected to seek a coalition with anti palestinian autrand nationalists like politicians. it's a mob been given here the gained momentum in race in months. bernard smith has more from west jerusalem on netanyahu's push to get back in to power. ah, no one in israel politics divides the country more than benjamin netanyahu. his supporters love him as much as his opponents loathe him. he's on the campaign trail
8:03 pm
trying to win back the job of prime minister that it held for a total of 15 years until last year. once again, it's about nathaniel for him against them. it's not only a personal issue, it's an issue that have to do with her characteristic off israeli democracy, more majority on democracy versus more populous. her momentary dorian and populist or more liberal democracy. and of course about her identity a right wing left wing, the political stalemate. this is the 5th election and for years is for many israelis tied to the start of when netanyahu was indicted, a breach of trust, fraud, and accepting bribes. he says the trials are a political witch hunt polls suggest netanyahu's party will be the single biggest in parliament, but just a seat or too short of a majority. he needs every vote pull up. so i asked you to got all your friends, all of your neighbors and all of your relatives,
8:04 pm
and tell them that nobody stays home. we are going full power this time, silly, full power with all of our masses to get your, your la pete out of the prime minister's office to his supporters. he gave israel 10 uninterrupted years of economic growth, normalized relations with 4 arab countries, and got the us to withdraw from me around nuclear pat his party the could, can imagine no other lead because he's been the leader of the could for so long his really shape the party in his image and the party as well believes with good reason, i think that they would do less well with somebody else at the helm. you know how it is in politics? if, if you feel that your party leader is actually reducing your chances of getting elected, you'll ditch him right away. that's not the sense in the good. his critics say he's threatening israel's democracy in his determination to stop his criminal trials. netanyahu suggested he'll build a coalition with the far right religious zionists, to form a government far i wants to make changes to the law that could allow benjamin
8:05 pm
netanyahu to stall all and the fraud and bribery trials he's facing. but not every one on the right is comfortable with sharing power in parliament with extreme nationalists. so even if it comes off, it could be a short lived coalition. forcing israel is back to the polls again. early next year . furnace with al jazeera west jerusalem. israel began this cycle of elections back in 2019, under the shadow of a corruption investigation into benjamin netanyahu. voters went to the polls twice that year, but a stable government did not emerge after a 3rd election. deadlock in 2020 netanyahu and his centrist a rival, been, he gans agreed to form a so called emergency unity government to deal with the pandemic. but the deal fault it, and a 4th vote has was held in 2021. yeah, l appeared was later of the opposition at the time he assembled a fragile coalition which fell apart in less than a year. once results from this vote are in more coalition talks will resume about
8:06 pm
if a deal can't be reached in the 120 sate, kinessa israelis will head back to the polls for a 6th election. dahlia ashamed limb is a political analyst and pollster and joins us from a television or dahlia. thanks so much for being on the program. certainly from that graphic, it's quiet in the mess in israel at the moment. is that one of the reasons why you think voted turn out has been so high. i people just over it and one to a resolution? well, it's very interesting because just up until the days before the election, everybody was asking me if i don't, if i think voters are tired and fatigued and might not turn out. i think that there's a sense that was the more likely scenario and that the high turnout that has been reported ever since the morning hours ever since the central action committee began doing this, recording has been higher than recent years. in fact,
8:07 pm
at one point it was the highest votes since 1981 in terms of turnout. and so we are seeing in a through z as in that it's, i, those really are happy about it. but i do thinking, of course they want to end the uncertainty, that is a natural situation when you've gone through this, frankly mad cycle 5 elections about a stable government. however, it's not exactly logical because everybody voting simply reinforces the fact that everybody is divided. and as we've seen and surveys almost from the very beginning of this election campaign, and in fact from the very beginning of this election campaign, until now, the blocks remain stubbornly tied. that doesn't mean that's what will happen tonight. it could be that there will be internal dynamics, could be different in different communities which lead to one lump of blocks supporting santa who are opposing him doing better in the polls predicted. but we just can't know that as far as we can see, based on what people have been telling holders for 3 months or even 4 months, there has been no change in their very, very evenly divided breakdown. and so even if you had a 100 percent turn out, if that's the division,
8:08 pm
we could still see the deadlock. i know you've written an opinion pace recently and i do want to get to that book before i do just how important given how close and tight of a rice it is just how important is that palestinian is riley vote to the overall count was being seen as critical only because in the beginning of the cycle, it started out so low according to what palestinian citizens of israel were telling posters the at a low point. in early october i saw one survey that showed 32 percent of palestinian citizens planning to vote which compare that to the you know, the jewish very voters who voted a rate last time of about 72 percent and regularly vote at over 70 percent. that's an enormous gap. if their voting rate had gone that low, the parties that represent arab citizens of israel would have collapsed, possibly all of them. it could still happen. there's feverish. busy speculation all day about how many of them are voting. is it higher than expected? what does it mean for the different parties? and what does the elevated turn out in general?
8:09 pm
mean we have a minimum threshold of 3.25 percent. that means over 150000 voters have to load for any one party because so many people voted 3.25 percent is a high number. that could make it even harder for the air of posting in parties of israel to go to pass a threshold. busy and get significant mood, so there's a lot of uncertainty and a lot of anticipation around the final turn out in general. and specifically among the palestinians citizens of israel. one poll on friday indicated that netanyahu could come just one st, showed of an outright majority. and then with a coalition had the majority, what impact would a win by the formula to have on is roused legal system. thank you because i did write enough about that because i think it is really critical and less understood aspects of this election, especially for observers from abroad. the israeli judiciary has been under a multi system assault from various forces within the right wing for years. it didn't start just now, it goes back to many historic issues that lead to
8:10 pm
a sense of skepticism or instrumental ism around the law, largely due to israel policies controlling the occupied territories expanding, settling. these are things that require a very instrumental use of the law, but those are historic reason in recent years, the right wing has wanted to pass very liberal laws. they have passed some of them and they have tried to get constrained on the judicial forces that would hold back the government from doing anything it wants. basically they're trying to erode the constraints on pure majority rule and that has been going on for a long time. but in the shadow of miss on yeah, who's corruption charges? suddenly he really took the lead, joining these earlier attempts to constrain the judiciary and undermine its authority. undermine and legitimacy, even as a regular check and power check and balance in a political system that doesn't have very many checks and balances. israel unusual for the few structural checks and balances. it has which is why the court has been placed in an almost a catch $22.00 of having to play the role of putting constraints on majority rule
8:11 pm
and then generating anger from the majority who wants fewer constraint. and it's an yahoo has grabbed onto that trend because he now has an interest in d, legitimize the judiciary in order to claim that his cases are fabricated. and we've been seeing very aggressive plans based on earlier plan for undermining and judicial authority. but these are much more extreme version coming out of the far right parties that are expected to support that. so yeah. who in the future coalition? all right, well we really appreciate your analysis there. thank you so much for your time. dally shineseal in a political analyst and post the intelligence. thank you. thank you for having may be on to brazil now where supporters of president j able scenario have blocked roads across the country after he last to sundays, run a vote. truck drive is in the nation's largest city, south palo protesting on the road leading to the international airport. flights have been delayed with protest is threatening to block access completely open. our
