on t the setet of this -- what u how we expectct this one toto g? cleaning we senseded i think whn you u and i were talking earlier this l little difference e betwn netanyahu and cocounts. i'i'm not s so appears to be how it's puttingng out w what's remarkable about theelectionon is actctually netananyahu did nt haveve any ideological oppositin and asou know it's it't's been sasaid repeatedd time again. this is an electction they came down to the persrsonalities of e candididates themselves he was n electionon that realllly lap l d substance by w way of debebate t polilicies. and belelieve mee- isrsraeli society today ask a any israelis upup this is hardly a l lack off prpressing sococial issues to tk about -- frorom it you u know poverty issues f from infrasastructure education to healthth w what dominateded this campaign on both sidesoth of the blocks facacing t the two mn blblocs facacing off each other whetherr wre talkiking - -- benjamamin netanyahuhether we're talking bennyny ganz ithey both were almostt obled oblbligated but they werere alsoo inclineneo put the emphasisis in a verery d focuss on securityty. security security securitity n w

obviously security is always been the pararamount issue in israel it's to say the least an understatement to sa it's a complex geopolitical regegion.. right they do you know that thatat's a no brainer but the degree to which m marcecurityy trumped all in thehe selection d thatat benny gantztz although portrarayed as inn a sense. the t the centrisist block his s blue and whihite a lines being centrist. in inn the absence of a a netanu typeigigure. he w would'vee been considereded benny gantz reaeally notot just right b but almost farar to thte riright on a lotot of the his is and the way he e expressed an inteterest to give you one inindicatorr. you know thehey're alslso -- arb parties o obvioususly in israely get a handful of seaea in n the elections in this s parliament s well -- benny gantz is alliance the so called moderate the centntrist block didn't even he and his partnerer in this alliae did not even think thehey ruled out t the possibility of a askig any of those ararab partities. o potentially joinn thehe coalitin

if and when the occasision came for them to foform so. it's not really shows ideologicalllly. how close he was in manyy respts to o benjamin netanyahu and indndeed? it's t the israeli e election because e palestiniaians were looking very closely to e what hahappens because with h that we making that statetement a few ds agoo about he intendnded. to a annex city where it's thehe settttlement the second lap it's divisive polititics and it's a brand to politics a and has wor. mamarvelouslsly from - -- benjan netanyahu in the past will all remember onn the afternonoon of election day b back in two thouousand fifteen whe you talk about talk about the so called. hohordes off arab voters are beg bused to o the polls -- by thes- it by these ngogo groupss these left wing not -- non an ngo groups -- it was a warning and appaparently workeked it was a t minunute scare tactic that broht ose right wingers out off their easy chairirs maybe who weren'tt going to vovote b because t they figurered he was a shoo in n an. he got elelected and he we saw. echoes of that same strategegy again not least of which obviously with his comments about t the annexation - -- posy annexing -- pulse wayays of the west banank all of that o once n

to m mobilize that f far right d that r right wing electotorate t the last minute w whether he bas off afterwards that'ss another question.. but t it's w worked in the actu- hue and c cry of the campaign in the throes of the endgame of the campaign douglas t thank you t t would annexationn has s some rey seriously nasty on the terms of that b but that's that's not jut to all of that too m much. right noww the we will analyze what it t means what it c could. for the palestinianan p populatn as well becausese klay than watchihingery closely what hahappenss. in the selection juster margie - benjnjamin netanyahu andnd up ay catsts both claiming victotory n the election in israel a double seven n studio we have anotherer guest is with this young ps fromom aales will l come to a ment sir. to get your points of v view at first l let's go to ninety m masy who is at the headquarters of the a blue and white alliance of basically benny gantz his partyty and n nt ll us whahat the mood is that. what are people saying around

i've done the w way hearing of marissa's thehe slightly. that's what i thought. not very well it's alslso about. useful as if any gagaps thereres that also kalani n now that's aa centntri policy they well with nice now. to see who in the previous coalition but could they split now and join benny gananz. maybe looook any also t them les see at the our policicies now ththat's a bigig one as the arab parties t themselves i into t t smalall partities at in this election. at a meeting t that we thoughghf thatat but would be diminisished actuallyly they could be very portant herere the projection it here is that he's one of thosose our policiciess one about. at sixteen and while it t is unlikely that our policiess woud agree to go into a formal coalition without a d down to fe any gaps itself is s also ruled that out. what we may see -- ist our policies and agreeing to follllw any guguns by any chance in some kind of minority government want

this to o be a hung parlrliament here in israel that means. our policies and supports legislation does put through the knesseset -- by b bending down o would simply bee in a coalitioii would d also. be extraordinary giving our powers our o our policicies huge amount of f influence in israeli politics have a somomething that that long agagain so. it's's a complicated picture toninight lots of small policies to keepp our eye on but we'll b. watctching very closely i listening i in on racing a as wl somebody got to speak about states just t behind me. not f for now thank y you very h indeed witith spectacacles backo nadidia and catherine throughout this program that't's it's realy take the temperature what's being set. upup with the likud and i in a e so headquartrters thatt israel weatherews is it seems like

is up 20% this yearar that's aa stronger pace eveven thatt america's tech companies. overall the sector employs about 10% of israel's work force. gap between rich and poor and the highest poverty rate among oecd developed nations. about a quarter of the population living below or near the povertyy line. the statistics are significantly higher among israel's for ultra orthodox and arab populations. almost half of palestinian citizens of israelin poverty. the european union and china have agreed to strengthen thatt their tradining relationship describing it as a brerethrough. the joint statatement issued in brussels comes as both cut both sidess front after months of

intensnse negotiations beijing signaled it was willing to open up its economy to companieies fm europe. european firms will alsoso n no longnger be f forced to share tr technological knonow how t to ga foothold in china. a long time dimond fro the block i alslso will come t to fx explicitly with. that this would be no forced cocounselor of technologies as a price for investing. as we work inn the global levevl we also o want. to m move from all together for that -- corporations who makes sense for both sides the pledges from beijing comome j just weeke french president said there needed to be a coordinated european approach in dedealingg with china. and while both sides acknowlwlee they are in competetition they want to work in a multilateral environment the two sides reaffirmed a joioint commitmene. to cooperate on n wto revolveveo

sixty tie in the blocks. in the examples which i'm levin and thirteen netanyahu is the next prime minister so basically three channels examples across the threeee channel twelve gives ones that result gave walk it'ts one five vicictor. on eleven thirteen s says its mission who controls the jack that's the queuestion -- you gol ust us with on to give the bestst we c can we're we're just telling you don't trust the others absolute euphoria here blue white headquarters only channel twelve results posted though so you for yeah based on what channel you're looking out race because if you feel the channel. you be somewhat less. as a vested interested to wowork sosome donon't maybe t they mige in a c certain way in any in n y case dance and yeah you're nonot dadate they were p proclaing victory the israeaeli public has had their say they know whatat's coming. but as i as i i'm chill out for for here all of our parents says they know it's premature and they know that the examples can polls can turn around. and i think they're cashing in

basically by the comp meanwhile binyamin netanyahu to exactly the same thing -- and basically he said we want to a definite victory well actually depending on what. you have a pencil you counted the ratios i thank the cititiesf israelel for refererred for ther trust and i will ststart by simy a rice -- - that the govovernmet with our natural part three partners tonight he might be getttting ahead of h himself but there. i johnhn linden all o of us who think he you dirirector of i'll connect d dot c. lines from t te pieces an organization of a hundreredifferent t -- that yep. remember he e says the exit pols only rececord v votes countntedp until eight pm. in twentnty fifteen run 3 30% ol voters cast their ballots in the last two hours that's nearly eleven knesset seats. that's a good insight isn't there you go i m mean thahat's e lyndon stop basically circles back to the headlines we don't know last wednesday. and now a couple more -- points off and his affection at social media was been use considerably by candidates such as netanyahu on election date now we all know that you're not really meant to be going on tv or be interviewe. by the networks on election d dy sosocial m media hasas allowed

candidateses to sort o of get yu knowow to kindnd of run get a ad ththose laws but it isis tesng e limimits off those laws governig electition or you did see. menn netanyahu at the beach for example it is a public h holiday in israel and there he is with microphone and hans knknowing vy well that he is. up to six millioion people following hihim on various socil media platformrms so you know is it's it's certainly a w way of getting around t those ls which acactually don't allow for campaigning. eyes at a you know as the election nears and final twenty four hours -- it so he basically telling people get off the beac. you shouldn't be doing this on channel you've gone to the polls which was done in a jovial talking away but it's also point you know he he means us. and at meanwhile if this was a an interesting one and i mean that that the port monte fell off his motorbike but i i man fell off his motorbike. and and this was on on on a and also with the group -- for and who was there o on the scecene y atat mr counts and he he tendedo the and thahat thahat that gentn ququestion who had sustaineded e injujuries. ununtil that the medical servics came along which led to so heheadlinenes such as this whici suppose you can't complain about

on election day what was it again -- as peers have gone e up but itit was a hold on i need to geget this rightht yeah. it said -- it said -- scrolling up scrolling up scoring onset of annual actually won election day that's on likeke that. headline sportrts becausese this news celebrities in it and thank you could i should be taking his campaign as well becaususe i should havseen it using his military tining says former soldiers now. that's right he happenened upon this was the first week wee get went over attttended to the guyy for the medical peoe comoming on so it wawas quite genereral week thing and it it leads. toto a real x. in the rightht tg it's completely he certainly did you count it couounts argue without. in any case another big item that was building -- today was hidden security cameras -- not these these were found on certain at right wing campaigners supporters allegedly of the likud party w who were hanging around polling stations inin certain our neighghborhoodw it. the kyrie here at least to that what it's not even a theory of right wing source told haaretz newspaper that the move was aimed to preserve the purity of

the election and to ensure. that the arab party rom ballade won't pass electorall fragile to falsifications so essentially likud campaignersrs. were e equipped with these cames becausee there there wasas a lak of trust in terms of the pro but see a all of i i of ice was coug votes in fact. in a in those campaign. centers there youou go there the camerass a lototf peoplee talkig top isis illegalal it's good... but it doesn't stop people doiog and the numbeber of the issues about social netwking on the internet and thehe fact that anybybody can afffford a camamee role in these phones and we cann dodo about that is pusushing the boundaries of everything it seseems these days.. james thank you might thank you very much to mediawatch bubusinesses so wewe'll happenig right allies i in the isisraeli electitions netananyahu againste both say they'y've won stay with
