8:10 am
jerusalem ilana benyamin hopes that netanyahu as everyone calls to prime minister will form the next government she can see any i'll turn it. on and. i think he has a great team they're doing fine and if baby is elected i will sleep well at night even move towards a safe future for me from my sons and grandsons. another four years of unthinkable for this young student guggenheim voted for netanyahu is likud party in the previous elections but this time has voted to go to the new blue and white party headed by former army chief of staff benny gantz i think his time is coming go to serve his country well i think after ten for years the really the time has come to switch parties and have. take the premiership a new country to hopefully better and more secure places. when israelis go to the
8:11 am
polls on tuesday they have a wide range of issues to consider and a record number of parties to choose from economy and security are usually the top priorities for voters but this election is slightly different. in essence these are vital issues for israelis but they're not necessarily the big determinants of votes because we have a situation where the voters focusing primarily on the issue of netanyahu his ten year long governance over israeli society thirteen years in total and the corruption charges against him. despite facing an indictment on a string of corruption charges netanyahu can still count on a strong voter base. he campaigned on social media and by meeting foreign leaders with a clear message he's the only one who can keep israel safe and represent the country's interests abroad. meanwhile pentagons and his team of former army generals have been touring the country with the centrist blue and white
8:12 am
party has been ahead of the likud in almost all opinion polls. in a small community in southern israel who served as military chief under netanyahu appears to voters there's only his party can move the country forward. well prime minister netanyahu and his messages of busy dividing people and using incitement in order to survive we have busy reinforcing the security of israel and working towards a better future for our children. post as predicted guns and netanyahu will compete next to me but netanyahu might have the upper hand to form writing coalition with smaller rightwing parties. our correspondent china kramer who filed that report joins us now from jerusalem tanya this is a neck and neck race netanyahu has just close to an acceptance in the west bank could that tip the scales in his favor. well i think it's definitely
8:13 am
a call to his nationalist days to his voters and also do some might rather vote for small the right big party said also want to get in stick knesset he wants to tell them basically to come out for the likud and not to nose any of those votes to smaller parties might then not posses the electros specials and netanyahu is under pressure as we've heard i mean it's posters predict a neck to neck race between his likud party and the new blue and white party by former army general benny gantz and of course in israel it's all about being able to build a coalition and if the trust of paul says we have to take always there is polls that grain of salt they're not always that accurate then the. right wing has more chances to build a coalition then maybe the blue and white because you know there has been
8:14 am
a shift to what's right and the writing block is much stronger but mr necker netanyahu doesn't want to take any chances and calling out to supporters again to vote for him what about the blue and white party that poses the main challenge to benny not to. it's led by benny guns what does he want for israel. well if you're talking about this. statement on this no and that's and yeah who mr gans has. to israeli policy in conflict didn't really play a big role in the election campaign. mystic guns has not stated his vision he said he's pro peace but he also said that he would never give up on jerusalem that he would. also. retain some parts of the occupied west bank so he's pretty close and that's to. prime minister netanyahu but what he
8:15 am
has been saying is that he wants to you know given as tentative to what he calls the polarizing politics and rest vesa makes of mr netanyahu he wants to you need. to come to you and get you know it's more or less and if you if you're on that boat between those two camps those who are released don't support us and say mr netanyahu be able to form another men should be the prime minister and mr gunson as an alternative to him ok so those are the two main parties in this election what other parties are running. but israelis have a huge range of party sacred to say from there's a record number of parties wanting to get into the knesset but not all of them will pass the electors special you have the left wing bloc you have those parties representing the arab israeli community you have to religious parties and you have
8:16 am
many. on the right side the right wing bloc of many of those smaller parties are also a couple of them that you cardis and also this one far right party that has drawn a lot of criticism that they are might be able to come back into the knesset we've been looking at one of these smaller new writing parties this a good party and ask people why they would work for them. one of them is the new ultra right national religious the who party of mushy feiglin a former likud politician fake leins advocates for the legalization of marijuana and social economic reforms but also wants full sovereignty of israel over the temple mount in jerusalem which is holy to choose christians and muslims the party wants to know the osce the peace accords with the posts in eons and has spoken out for an extension of the occupied palestinian territory now the arc of the whole of the me why connect with the things he says the liberty the freedom this is
8:17 am
something that speaks to me his way his thinking about all the new. cultural law i think i take and plan is the most realistic right now i mean i don't know if it's going to happen and tell him that he's prime minister but it's at least different than everyone else we've been trying to state solution for thirty seven twenty five years and it's it's not working. so tanya clearly some voters there are not happy with the status quo or less than twenty four hours now before the selection starts any idea what the outcome might be. as well as the say it's going to be a tight race probably and again those polls have not been always proved accurate pastas elections so we could say that maybe the right thing got might be a bit stronger and it's all about who can actually then fall mccuistion governments
8:18 am
that we have to wait and see what is going to decide whether they will go home on a sense with a government or maybe of more of the same tony thank you very much steve obvious tanya kramer there in jerusalem next to an effort to further a far right ideology in europe steep and in the former chief strategist and donald trump's white house gave his blessing to a new training center for populist european politicians it's partially hidden in a remote italian village but bannon is working to spread his message across the continent. this form a ministry in trees altie in the hills of central italy has been revived with a new mission here benjamin hardwell has launched a conservative center called the institute for human dignity he wants to draw together christians and jews and fight against islamic fundamentalism young politicians will come to terms altie and trying to become right wing populists
