we know would need $61.00 seats actually to form a coalition but benyamin netanyahu will sort of it. to those polls he would come between $54.57 seats but also blue and white would make it up to $61.00 seat so at the moment the picture is unclear and there's no clear winner yeah and if it stays that way are we looking at a possible 3rd alexion this year for israel. well that's always a possibility but there's a sense here that you know israelis wouldn't like to see a 3rd election. and 3 heard just a few moments ago victor lieberman head of the israel bettina party and he. penned out the scenario of a unity government he actually said you know israel isn't in what he called an emergency situation and it needs to be a broader a wider government that could mean possibly a government of likud blue and white and possibly isro detain you i mean these are you know the early hours we really have to wait and see for the results now coming in of the whole process then because the president then has to task you know the person the candidate his things that's most suited and has more chances to

if he was disappointed on election night benyamin netanyahu wasn't showing it far from conceding defeat israel's longest serving president took to the stage vowing to remain at the helm with a likud led government that excluded arab parties. in the coming days we will convene negotiations to assemble a strong zionist government and to prevent a dangerous anti's are in a scholar meant. netanyahu his plans may well be thwarted by opposition leader benny gantz he stopped short of declaring an election win but his address to supporters certainly had the tone of a victory speech for his blue and white party. he had got so tell me the courting to the initial results netanyahu did not succeed in his mission. and that he we on the other hand prove that our idea called blue and white a project will establish just over 6 months ago is a huge success and here to stay. this man immediately cast himself as kingmaker avigdor lieberman the backing of his secular right back to new party will be vital to the formation of any governing coalition. we have just one option. broad liberal unity government. f

well benyamin netanyahu said on wednesday with his traditional potential coalition partners the smaller right thing parties and the ultra orthodox parties and they made the math and they come only to $55.00 seats that is sort of the 61 they would need to build their coalition for a very narrow right wing and religious government so he probably realized then that he needs to to to be in the game and to stay in the game to make this offer to benny gantz and to blue and whites to form this unity government but the question is now of course what is peru and white saying to that invitation and that is the question we haven't heard yet from benny gantz is there any indication as he said anything in the past that would indicate he could be open to the possibility of a national government. when netanyahu actually put any guns and the whole blue and white leadership in a very tight spot because they have said all along during the election campaign that they're not going to sit with a prime minister with benyamin netanyahu who is under a possible indictment for several corruption allegations and

but at the end there was a sense here in israel that this is actually an election about one man benyamin netanyahu because he you know he failed to follow the coalition in after the april elections he didn't give back the mandate to another candidate and he pushed for new elections to get again you know the monday to form a new government so there's a sense here among people you know that they also thought about how to vote i mean a lot of people told me no i don't think about. which party to all the smaller ones or rather the big ones and you have of course you know the camp that's absolutely pro pro netanyahu would say only because lead this country and then you have those so saying you know a decade of politics of benyamin netanyahu is enough also because of a possible indictment of a corruption charges they want him to deal with that and they would like to see a change in leadership yes that's right i mean he could actually be in a court room facing charges within a year if you lose this election netanyahu in the one of this election he promised that if he were elected that he would

year newly it says he she who runs this family owned cafe will be casting his ballot he hopes that benyamin netanyahu will from the next coalition government be be as everyone calls to prime minister some time stops by for coffee and pastry at this neighborhood cafe like many other likud supporters says if you see snow and turn a tip to the long serving leader. you've been a demolition the man has experienced and this is extremely important it's very important for people here to have someone to run the state as he does it a state like israel with so many challenges and having good relations with world leaders all around the world. following the last election in april netanyahu failed to put a coalition together some analysts describe the elections as a fight for his political life not least because of corruption allegations these elections are not about any policy issue at all these elections are shakespear are there to be be or not to be that it will continue to happen even though there are 3 a criminal investigations hanging over his head he has proven inability to overcome any obstacle b

but these elections are seen as a kind of her friend on the longstanding prime minister benyamin netanyahu and whether he will be able to form a coalition. reporting our u.s. president donald trump says his country could respond militarily to drone attacks on major saudi arabian oil. mr trump tweeted that the u.s. was locked and loaded rebels based in yemen have claimed responsibility for the attacks but washington blames iran. these oil tanks are exhibit a as the world tries to assess who was responsible for attacks on saudi facilities they show almost identical impact points which u.s. officials say indicate a high degree of sophistication in the attack. the rebels in saudi arabia's neighbor yemen and usually seem to take responsibility they've been fighting the saudis and their proxy forces for years in yemen civil war. but some analysts doubt whether the rebels could have launched drones or missiles that could hit the saudi tanks yemen is also to the south of the saudi refineries the impact site suggest an attack from the north or northwest the direction of iraq and the who these stron

definitely not definitely not for benyamin netanyahu because at the moment he's really falling short of the 61 seats he needs and what you're looking at is that now we're looking at the other smaller parties i mean you have those parties who already pledged a loyalty to the likud and would traditionally form the question like the ultra orthodox parties and also the right wing party meena most possibly but then he needs another christian partner and we all know the last time you tried to form that coalition it was. lieberman with israel be tane know who didn't want to go into coalition with him and he could be the king maker again now the question is would he go with netanyahu this time this is a really big question mark i think most analysts would believe that he would not do so so it's not easy than before and i mean you have to remember missing that prime minister netanyahu has actually given the mandate last time to form a coalition he failed and he didn't give back the mandate he pushed for new elections and now we're in the same situation here almost again. and what do we know.

benyamin netanyahu is political survival is on a knife edge long deemed a political wizard this election may turn out to be the one that broke his spell. the deadliest on the korean one joins me now from jerusalem tanya more information is coming out there what's the latest you can tell us. yes the central election commission has released the latest figures now 90 percent over 90 percent of the votes have been counted now and this translates into 32 seats for blue and white and 31 for the likud now what analysts do here now immediately is to look at the different blocs what it means for the center left a bloc which includes blue and white they would come up with $55.00 seats and the religious and writing group would come of this $56.00 seats so nobody actually is on a clear pass to form their own majority government now who comes in here as a possible kingmaker this is most likely it appears to be of it to leave them and is retained or he has obtained 9 seats and he already made clear that he would like to see a unity government but there is also talk at the moment but other scenarios fo

benyamin netanyahu and the taishan to start talks about a unity government he said we won the election blue and white won the elections and there were new figures released today by the election commission giving blue and white 33 seats against $31.00 for the likud and he said so it is us who was said to terms for such. talks and he also said and that is most important of course that if such a unity government would be funded it would be under his leadership and that puts of course an end possibly to the thought that mr. netanyahu had of having maybe over taste of premiership mr netanyahu already said he was right disappointed by this response. so mr netanyahu is disappointed but could he still get on board with this idea here he and his allies. well i think that we are at the very very beginning it's a very complicated situation because it's difficult to see how both sides will come together and bridge to bridge the gap actually because blue and white has always said throughout the campaign that they would sit with the likud but not and recruit with netanyahu because they don't want to

israel's newspaper front pages this weekend are not the ones benyamin netenyahu was probably expectingter the second indecisive election in five months, power is described as "slipping away." "himself alone" and "political death spasms" are among the headlines. prime minister for the last ten years, with a three—year stint before that in the 1990s, mr netenyahu, he's been reduced to urging benny gantz, the ex—army chief who leads the newish centrist party blue and white, the largest in the knesset after tuesday's poll, to join a unity government. gantz told him to push off. this in a week when iran, a country the israeli prime minister regularly invokes in elections as a reason why it needs a strong government, was blamed by the united states for halving saudi oil production with two drone attacks, claimed by houthi rebels in neighbouring yemen. before we talk about all of that, jonathan, just talk about benjamin netanyahu's fate. do you think we are now witnessing the end of the netanyahu era? we definitely could be. but it also may not be. i think it is important at this stage that w

a possible intervention or a conflict with gaza last week i mean there were these pictures when benyamin netanyahu was complaining in the south and there was a rocket siren an alert and he had to be taken off stage wasn't taken very well by some of his supporters and also of course. his rivals also pointed out that he left the stage he was taken to safety and it turned out some reports claim now that he was about to possibly launch also a large escalation or. military operation then so this is always in the back of people's minds but i think what they really wanted to see is getting out of this stalemate here in israel and you know one some kind of decision about a government and. to see a new government emerge from this and speaking of still may what happens if the stalemate remains how widely is a 3rd election tonight. well it's certainly a possibility but there's a sense here that people would like to avoid that and know there is a whole. list of now there will be consultations with the president and present written has already said he would like to do that very fast and then he will
