and you heard lieberman say that the president gets to decide who gets first crack. >> normally the leader of the party with the most seats, that leader gets first crack. first 28 days and then another 28 days to negotiate with the smaller parties to come up with the magic number of 61 for a workable majority. and presumably if these polls, they these are not official numbers. they still have to count all of these ballots so we will see bha the final results are. usually the polls are close but they are by no means certain.

lieberman at one point, the right-wij -- wing leader who is an immigrant wanted to hike [ inaudible ]o get some of these arab parties out. so they all joined hands for the first time in the history of the state. so all three arab or four arab parties join together and they could probably gain between 11 and 13 seat, but their weight as a third-party will not translate into anything actionable because they will not join any of the next governments. the best they would do is maybe get support from the outside to a herzog government but even that is in much doubt. >> okay. thank you. >>> egypt public prosecutor has decided that a police officer will go on trial for killing a female protester during a peaceful demonstration. she was shot at a rally marking the fourth anniversary of the 2011 uprising. the organizers at the rally have also been charged with organizing an illegal demonstration. >>> suicide bombers have attacked an iraqi army check point killing four soldiers. >>> amnesty international says air strikes carried out by the syrian government last november may amount to war crime

lieberman actually ran a campaign calling for the ethnic cleansing of palestinians. he also called for the beheading of palestinian citizens in israel. this is the foreign minister. this pushing to the right is not just with lieberman, but with all of the political parties that will make up this collision. it will be a coalition of the right and it believes fundamentally that jews have superior rights than palestinians in israel. so the real challenge will be for this joint list to push back against that type of legislation, to try to prevent those pieces of legislation from being able to be initiated. i'm in and out sure they will have much success giving the recent trends in israel, but they will certainly try. thank you, diana buutu. i appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >>> i will talk to although nfl player who agrees with the decision. ahead. i want his bedroom to smell like he's away at boarding school. surround yourself with up to 6 hours of luxurious, long-lasting scents... ...introducing new unstopables air refresher. >>> earlier today, illinois congressman aaro

let's turn now to cnn's or rihn lieberman standing by in jerusalem with the very latest. >> reporter: one of the questions we'll try to figure out over the next few days is were the polls wrong from the very beginning or did netanyahu really stage an incredibly dramatic come back are from four seats down to five seats up. that's not what netanyahu is worried about right now. he saw the results and his victory. he knows it's a resounding victory with a very comfortable margin of victory for him and his right wing coalition. now it's up to him or looks like it will be up to him to put together a coalition government. when we saw the exit polls it was a very close race and it looked like he had a slight edge in the ability and necessity of putting together that government. now when we see what are unofficial results but actual numbers from the ballot boxes, we know he has a much easier path to putting together a right wing government. he is a master politician and dealmaker and will use that to his advantage as he proceeds over the next few tase calling, talking to the other parties, whe

first orrin lieberman. israeli sources seem to suggest that sensitive information about the ongoing nuclear talks may be mentioned in prime minister netanyahu's speech. wondering what's being said about that where you are this morning. >> reporter: that's about as much as we've learned about the sensitive information. we saw this out actually from our cnn team on the flight over to washington, traveling with netanyahu. since then netanyahu hasn't really referenced or given any hint as to what information he might reveal. perhaps after the conciliatory tone we heard in his speech he could decide up until the last moment before his speech before congress what sensitive details he has and which he chooses to share in front of congress. >> over the weekend and yesterday we heard from former israeli commanders urging netanyahu to cancel his speech. i'm wondering if any other voices of dissent have emerged, this being the big political story there. >> reporter: in these latest couple of days, it's been fairly qui

there has been a turn at the right fringe represented by lieberman in recent years, to focus more and more sort of ire again the fellow citizens. a talk of loyalty oaths, raising the threshold. do you see that trend continuing? or do you see tonight's election results as a pivot in a new direction? >> i see it continuing, sadly. the reason is it's become acceptable to be racist in israel. it always has been, but it's been pushed to the fore. we're talking about lieberman actually ran a campaign calling for the ethnic cleansing of palestinians. he also called for the beheading of palestinian citizens in israel. this is the foreign minister. this trend of pushing to the right is one that we see not just with lieberman but with all of the political parties that will make up this collision. it will be a coalition of the right and it believes fundamentally that jews have superior rights than palestinians in israel. so the real challenge will be for this joint list to push back against that type of legislation, to try to prevent those pieces of legislation from being able to be initiated. i

but when lieberman the right wing foreign minister helped pass the governor ability law which sets thethreshold vote in parliament, it was seen to disenfranchise the parties. since then his rhetoric has become more heated, asking for the beheading of those quote who are not loyal to israel. >> we should thank lieberman whose racist views made this happen. we have reached unity a dream that people have been waiting for for a long time. we hope that this unity continues. >> a hope shared by voters as they prepare to make history at the polls. >> so it looks like they may be making history in this election. one thing that their leaders have told us, whatever happens in this election they will not join any government to form a coalition. however, we're hearing that if the far right is able to secure in this votes they'll be able to change that position. >> quite an unpredictable race. give us an idea of what they will look like in terms of what will happen when the polls open? >> that's right. a very unpredictable race. some are describing this as one of the hardest elections in recent mem

why it is expected to do so well on election day. >> translator: we should thank lieberman, thanks to his racism we have reached unity a dream which people have been waiting for, nor a long time. we now hope this unity continues. >> reporter: a hope shared by many israeli palestinian voters as they prepare to make history at the polls. imtiaz tyab, al jazeera jerusalem. >> i asked how the leadership in the west bank sees the israeli election. >> well, unfortunately there isn't much expectations from these elections mainly because the differences between mr. netanyahu's camp and the hertzog camp really isn't big when it comes to the palestinian issue. in reality the palestinian issue and the need to end this conflict and to allow palestinians to have an independent state was almost absent from this election campaign. on the contrary, both camps have been advocating more annexation of palestinian land, more settlement expansion, and both of them are denying the palestinians the right to have jerusalem as their capital as part of an independent state. so there isn't much excitement about

ironically this is only because foreign minister lieberman tried to kick them out saying they are very small parties that united and now they are the ones who hold the balance of power. they do not want to join a herzog or netanyahu government. what they would like to be is the official opposition. this gives them a very large platform to push for the ascent and palestinians in the territories. they said they would support a herzog government. that could inspire the president to tap herzog for a government. what they did do the joint list is to try to take away some votes from the smaller left and right wing parties. >> i want to go right now to mike rodgers, former republican chair of the house intelligence committee plus former congress woman jane harman. it could be this point but congress woman harman i have to say that it seems rather clear who president obama would rather not be the prime minister of israel in the next month. >> that may be true. but what matters is that democracy works in israel. this is a demonstration of a much more complicated form of democratic election than

o rain lieberman joining us from jerusalem. we know that mr. netanyahu was making final changes to his speech during the flight on is not. what can we -- on sunday. what can we expect him to say in front of congress? >> the content of the speech won't be too much of a surprise. we expect him to talk about the threat of a nuclear iran not own only to israel and the security of israel but to peace in the middle east. generally in term of content and topics he'll be talking about, there is agreement. the politicians agree a nuclear iran is a threat to the safe of israel. what people disagree to is whether this speech is a good idea and good way toward america and to negotiation areas in the dole about it. a lot of people are split. some agree, some say generally on the right say, yes, going to washington is a good idea. whereas the left generally sees this as a bad idea with two weeks to go until the elections. >> to that point, you had more than 180 former commanders there in does who held a press conference on sunday essentially urging the prime

votes with leftist israelist parties over shadowed what led to the union in the first place, when liebermant wing foreign minister helped to pass the so called governmentability law with 3.2% threshold to enter parliament it was seen as attempt to disenfranchise parties and since then the rhetoric has been more heated including advocating for to be heading of those who are quote disloyal to israel and comments like that which not only led to the creation of the joint list and why it's expected to do so well on election day. >> translator: we should thank lieberman whose racist views make this happen and thanks to his racism we reached unity, a dream which our people have been waiting for for a long time. we now hope this unity continues. >> reporter: a hope shared by other israeli palestinian voters as they prepare to make history at the polls. >> so as we have been hearing the joint list making history in this general election but the one thing it won't be doing is joining any potential government that is israel might have after this poll. we have to bear in mind that there has never been

oren lieberman is in jerusalem.his is an incredible reverseable on a two-state solution. >> reporter: absolutely randi. that got a lot of attention on a sensitive issue here which is negotiations on the palestinians and the authorities. netanyahu said under him if he were prime minister again there simply would not be a palestinian state. he insists in today's middle east a palestinian state would be a base from which radical islamists would attack israel. that contradicts what he said in a famous speech from 2009. so perhaps flipping position there, perhaps just hedging and of course just perhaps playing to right wing voter. he sees right wing voters in the voter turnout from the right wing as what can win him the election. he knows very well where he stands in the polls. according to the latest polls, the last polls before election day he trails his israeli rival isaac herzog by four seats. isaac cast his ballot earlier today. if you're okay with how things stand, go ahead, vote for netanyahu. if you want change v

that's where cnn's orrin lieberman is standing by for us. tension of course we're seeing growing between president obama and israeli prime minister netanyahu. now we learn that mr. obama is not buying mr. netanyahu's post campaign policy shift on the issue of whether he's committed to a two-state solution. now many confused about where israel actually stands on this. what's been the reaction there? >> reporter: the administration here the prime minister's office insists that they never change their minds. there was no back and forth, no flip-flop. they insisted it was misinterp misinterpretation of netanyahu's comments before the election where he seemed on to state there would be no palestinian state under him. the administration inexists what are the realities of the middle east and instabilities here. however, as you mentioned, president obama not buying that explanation for the apparently contradictory commence. the real question is what happens, what changes. both sides seem confident and have gone out of their way to see that the finan

. >> joe lieberman, great to have you on the real story today.it's my understanding that you were sitting in the speaker's box for the speech by net tachb yahoo, what was your reaction? >> i was honored to be sitting there my reaction was that the prime minister was extremely effective today, we showed eded deference to president obama, he said that the relationship between the u.s. and israel is strong and abiding. but he made a strong rempsz to the zeal that is on the table between the u.s. and iran, the one the president just defended is really a bad deal because it doesn't stop iran from -- the second important thing i think he said was that although the administration would suggest there's no viable alternative to war, to a deal, to even a bad deal prime minister netanyahu made a very strong point which is there is an al temperature tiff to alternative deal which is a better deal. >> when the president was not watching the speech but he read the transcript, he didn't see that particular line that you pointed out. what is the obama administra

. >> there have been calls for lieberman that palestinian israelis that are disloyal should be beheaded. he made the comments at an election rally. >> i would like to say whoever is with us should get everything that they wish. those who are against us. there's nothing to be done. we need to pick up an axe and cut off their heads. otherwise we will not survive ear. >> russia is violating a ceasefire agreement. russia is accused of sending tank over the border. the kremlin did this. a day ago the kremlin said pro-russian rebels withdrew from the front lines. human rights groups amnesty international criticized the plans to make it more difficult. they will set it back decade and make women baby making machines. calling for the population to be doubled. >> the professor defended the plan. the point is that actually ayatollah khomeini supported family planning at a time when the growth rate was high dangerously high. now the fear is opposite much the growth rate has decreased more than it should. iran will have a very - an ageing population where it will not have enough young people to sus

for more orrin lieberman is live in jerusalem.o here's the question -- prime minister netanyahu's focus has been on security and on iran. is that what's resonating with voters? is it more the economy? >> reporter: of course these are the two big issues -- security viewed as netanyahu's strongest issue, then the left isaac herzog focusing on the economy. that's where he believes the final undecided voters will go. he believes that's what the majority of israelies are worried about. those are always the two big issues. netanyahu has become an inner in the investigating because he's a polarizing figure. because he insight cites such strong -- incites such strong emotions. he's trying to make sure his voter base is energized. last night he came out in a rally that of course, no coincidence on the timing there right before the elections. he wanted to show that he's strong. tens of thousands of his right wing followers filling yitzhak rabin square. this after week of the left wing held its own rally. and the keynote speaker was benjamin

he's still allied with likud and people on the right, including former foreign minister lieberman. the reality of it is, there are two things. one is the social issues. he's already said even today that he is going to put a social agenda on the table, i'm going to go with, and number two, the last poll on thursday among those who said they were going to vote for him were asked who would you want him to support as prime minister, more people said hertzog than netanyahu, but he needs a moral argument to be able to make that shift. it would have been that hertzog would ever got more seats than netanyahu and the president would need to go to him first. now, he doesn't have that moral argument to make the switch. i think it's hard for him. i just see that's why i think conventional wisdom still when push comes to shove, he'll probably go to the right, but he's saying is keeping all options open at this point. >> you heard the professor talk earlier about the discomfort among arab members of the knesset who will be taking their seats, about participating in an israeli government. isn't t
