repeated power outages across the country. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has vowed to annex jewish settlements in the occupied west bank if reelected next week the prime minister made this statement in an interview with an israeli television channel and it marks a policy shift yahoo has promoted jewish settlement expansion during his four terms as prime minister but until now he's refrain from presenting plans for the future of the west bank settlements which are widely considered illegal under international law. palestinian officials denounce netanyahu is campaign pledge saying he would face a real problem if he followed through we have been in the same position. you know fifty one years since. we think that you know what is in your solar system asked us to stay. is the best way to defend i want him to you know he cannot

expel us because we are not going to accept the expelled we would stay there we would resist you know such behavior such a decision and then you know the international community has to deal with us you know inducted for more on that let's cross over to our correspondent tanya kramer in jerusalem tanya thanks for joining us how seriously are palestinians taking this threat. i think there's a lot of concern you just heard palestinian official talking there this is especially concern because of the recent u.s. recognition of the golan heights and there's concern that mitt this might have set a precedent actually because also the occupied west bank has been captured in the one nine hundred sixty seven war and palestinian officials have said they're feeling that that might have said to president also to annex this territory now i think six and talk is nothing really new in israeli politics at least some of the

smaller parties that are part of the government coalition and the outgoing government right now it's next two days here they have always pushed the next station at least for parts of the west bank or at least part the as so-called area see where most of the settlements are and they have said you know that they have made a lot of pressure on netanyahu to annex this territory now the palestinians are very much concerned that all of this together might set you know the atmosphere also seeing that there was a very muted international reaction has been a lot of criticism but it was a muted reaction more or less that you know they might go ahead with their with these plans you know just just days before the general election i have to assume there are some people who might view this as a blatant appeal to a mass non airboats is netanyahu feeling pressure. well this is certainly rallying cry outreach to its most nationalist

base and he wants to tell us voters to go out and vote. or reaching out to those voters who are thinking about working for the smaller some of the smaller right being an entrepreneur on this party's there are a lot of them wanting as seats in the knesset and some of them might not come over at the election specials so every votes to those parties might be a loss to netanyahu but he's also under pressure because there has been a tight race between the likud his party and the newly formed blue and white party by. guns and pulses predict a neck to neck race having said that it is very punchy it's all about being able to form a coalition the near post is again predict and we have to take those polls of course with a grain of salt and not always that acrid but that netanyahu has much more chances to find partners and to form a coalition with and his right wing bloc then

a mistake on snow having said that these are the parties the smaller rightwing ultra nationalist parties that have the pro and excess and agenda and they might actually ask him for a prize to turn his a coalition ask him to follow up on this election that. tony kramer in jerusalem for g.w. thanks so much for joining us now to sports the biggest game in german football for years turned out to be a very one sided affair by an munich destroyer dortmund five zero and leapfrog their rivals at the top of the table their one point lead makes them favorites for the title with just six games left the best of the action right now. mucker royce knew the stats as well as anyone ahead of this potential title decider dortmund hadn't won in munich for five years and they lost their last three matches there heavily with robert leaven tusky scoring on each occasion to him and set out to get their noses in front right set off down the wing and found mahmoud dude in
