yet who has won within hours of the polls closing prime minister benjamin netanyahu claimed his. wing likud party and its allies had won a huge victory the result is likely to fall well short of that claim it appears that as in previous elections netanyahu will be forced into tricky coalition negotiations in order to form a government the centrist lesh a tea party led by your love pete may have done even better luck counting is still going on netanyahu is confident. the state needs a stable government. not a government of bits and pieces based on personal disqualifications on ambitions a stable government for the state of israel that's what the our demands that's what the challenges in front of us demands and we must not under any circumstances drag the state of israel to a new elections to a 5th election we must form

a stable government now. netanyahu ran for reelection despite being on trial for corruption israel successful coronavirus vaccination program has seen more than half the country already inoculated that may have boosted netanyahu standing among voters but not by enough to secure an overall victory. the much smaller you mean a party also right wing a nationalistic led by enough tali bennett could now hold the key to power bennett is a former ally of netanyahu who could well work with him again mustn't call for the coup. netanyahu has been in power for 12 years making him israel's longest serving prime minister he's also the 1st to be indicted in office but denies corruption the 71 year old campaign not just on his handling of the pandemic but also played up how he normalized relations with 4 arab states.

for more journalists joins us from jerusalem sorry another election with netanyahu has blocked getting the most votes but new majority what if anything has changed. well i can they do that right now i got the results of the 80 percent of the vote so it's still not the final results but according to the counting of 80 percent of the vote and then that the neo a bloc together with enough study bennett has gone up a few percent and now we're talking about some $63.00 out of the $120.00 so it definitely seems leaning more towards. and he seems to have been this morning had actually you. know when we're looking at the overall results of these elections we can see that there has been a decline in the vote for the parkie for the jointness and it came to

less than half than it had in the previous election this is a result of the fact that the many of the palestinian. elections as they felt that they could not influence the outcome we remember in the last elections the anti nathaniel camp had 61 including the joint list but other parties within this camp did not want to cooperate with them. their cooperation does seem key in forming a coalition many are expecting that and you know who to try to form a coalition with the far right party if it does that what impact could it have on government policy. yes well he's definitely going to go and try and form this coalition together with yemeni but even more concerning is the more radical right wing party that has emerged to diesel actions and this is the.

you have their races here the homophobia. for a right there is and one of the members there in benghazi he was part of an organization was the that was described by the state department and israeli authorities as a terror organization and this this party it together was ben it is definitely going to push the the the the government in a very right wing direction. what about nasa you know his trial on corruption and fraud charges sammy is no longer a problem for him well this is that definitely the main issue that netanyahu is sinking off everyone here sees this whole election campaign as a way for netanyahu to avoid his that. you know according to the agreement that he
