speaking to his supporters in tel aviv opposition leader benny gantz stopped short of declaring an election win. but his address definitely came across a somewhat of a victory speech for his blue and white party he had not sold the courting to the initial results netanyahu did not succeed in his mission. was enough and we on the other hand proved that our idea called blue and white a project we established just over 6 months ago is a huge success and here to stay. said he would now get to work on building a broad unity government but speaking to his supporters at likud party headquarters prime minister benjamin netanyahu made no concession of defeat he said he would also seek potential allies to form a government but one that excluded arab parties. in the

coming days we will convene and go shish and to assemble a strong zionist government answer prevent a dangerous anti's are in a scholar meant. exit polls show the 2 parties a neck and neck. after 10 years in power benjamin netanyahu and his right wing likud party are battling for political survival and century spending accounts has ruled out a partnership with likud if netanyahu remains at the helm. 6 months ago netanyahu failed to form a coalition government faced with losing power he called fresh elections. against predictions of voter fatigue turnout was the highest in decades palestinians who are not in the gaza strip are eligible to vote and they were also out in higher numbers opposing netanyahu is open hostility with results this close israel faces the same situation it did after april selection. who in its right wing block

failing to get a 61 seat majority the extensive political negotiations are already underway even before the final results do visually being released. and i'm joined now from tel aviv by a political scientist dali a shine and welcome to day w. there is no clear winner here so it looks like they'll be some sort of waiting game what are some of the possible outcomes you think we could see. well there are many permutations for what could happen in the coalition 'd building stage and they all depend on which parties stick with their promises about which other parties they might go into a coalition 'd with and under what circumstances what we saw quite clearly at this point is that netanyahu did not get a majority of seats of from the right wing parties sufficiently to form a government of 61 parliamentarian seats out of 120 that's what he was hoping for
7:05 am
it was always a long shot in truth the results when you break them down are very similar to the results in april the only difference is that the is that the small party was it was a small party run by all the lieberman has a stronger showing and they have now promised not to go directly into a right wing government they keep saying they insist on a unity government so as all the different possible permutations that would seem to be the most likely one that there would be a unity coalition between the khud blue and white the challenger party and the dirt lieberman's party but there's a long way to go before getting there because blue and white has set one very tough condition they say as you point out they will not go in with likud which means that with likud underneath and yahoo which means that the could would have to break one of its major promises to exult and that is that they have sworn loyalty to keeping the 10 yahoo as the candidate for prime minister so there will have to be

a compromise if that kind of government is to be established if there is no compromise that government won't happen nobody wants a 3rd election but it has been the specter kind of that hanging over israeli society ever since the 2nd elections were called. i'd like to ask you avigdor lieberman's nationalist party is being labeled the king as you have pointed out but i want to ask you about the joints least the lines of our of pot he's performed very strongly what influence if any could die have in this well i mean the 1st major influence they had is that the they they their vote rose i mean that's the most important thing right now they seem to be getting 12 seats you know the exit polls are still. the exit polls look like they were pretty close and the votes are still being counted we've seen 92 percent published then we have votes sharing but in any case we know that they're there they're showing went up relative 3 to the april actions when the separate parties only got 10 seats altogether there were
7:07 am
reports they might get up to 15 seats i don't think that's going to happen now but still that percentage breakdown helped keep the balance of all the other percentages such that the right didn't come close to it $61.00 seat majority that they would have needed without lieberman that's the 1st point the 2nd point is that by most polls by all polls they are 3 the 3rd biggest party which means that if the 2 large parties blue and white and they could go into a unity coalition together what's interesting is that the arab parties by israeli tradition will be the head of the opposition that puts them in a more prominent position a lot of this election campaign in general has focused on them political analyst sheindlin in tel aviv thank you very much pleasure. now to some of the other stories making news around the world today and spanish version is the heading to the polls again the country's caretaker prime minister pedro sanchez announced
