back in april, there was a tie between the parties of benjamin netanyahu and benny gantz. and both declared victory. but it was mr netanyahu who appeared to be able to secure a majority government with the support of right—wing and religious parties. but he couldn't. there are 120 seats in the israeli parliament, the knesset. he fell short of the magic number of 61 seats — a majority. instead of giving benny gantz the opportunity to try and form a government, mr netanyahu decided instead to call another election. we're finding out if that move has paid off for him. often people who won the election but this is one where no 11. we cannot say who was victorious, but it is always the case that the election is the starting point to find out who can build wood coalition and only when the coalition and only when the coalition has been built, that is when we know who was victorious. where some way away from it now, i am with some guests to help make sense of this, we also have a former member and i want to talk about the corruption charges that netanyahu is been very motivated lar

>> at this point it is really dangerous to predict whether benjamin netanyahu will be able to assemblytion. the pre-election polls indicated that neither candidate is going to find it easy to put together 61 out ofg coalition, the 120 and parliament. benjaminlast decade, netanyahu had been able to assemble coalitions, he has been able to work with the orthodox parties in a way that the centerleft, his rivals, have not been able to do. the centerleft parties have traditionally been linked to working with the arab parties as well, so the arithmetic typically favors benjamin netanyahu or a prime minister from the right, but a lot depends on how the smaller parties, whether they are able manyter that -- and how seats they will pick up. david: it has only been six months since the last election, what has changed on the ground and could change in the results of the election? viewssraeli political have not significantly shifted, a majority of israelis still identify themselves as right-wing. attitudes toward the prime minister have not really changed. there are those who love him, those who h

well daryn this time the crown is slipping off benjamin netanyahu has had his not for not yet though but compared to april he won this time but he was unable to form a coalition this time he hasn't won so it's a very different scenario facing benjamin netanyahu it's not all over for him yet but he's called as you heard in his report their. attempt to scare his boat voters to get out to vote and say the arabs will turn out and i numbers well in fact that backfired in the arab vote did turn out in high numbers and although they don't take part in the israeli coalition governments they could down the line and up recommending maybe benny gantz to help form some sort of unity government although they would never take part and he might help might recommend not to the president so this time around there's much more. play and have a door leave him and he could be the one who ends up being the kingmaker no love lost now between lieberman and netanyahu wants a loyal ally wants great friends their relationship as fractured now so lieberman could play a very important role in the coming days and

i'm brian thomas thanks so much for being with us the future of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is hanging in the balance this morning partial results from the country's election show the race still close too close to call with a blue white party of centrist pentagons tied with netanyahu so far neither side has declared victory. speaking to his supporters in tel aviv opposition leader benny gantz stopped short of the tearing election when. but his address had the tone of a victory speech for his blue and white party. courting 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. god said that he would not get to work on building a broad unity government. but speaking to his supporters at likud party headquarters prime minister netanyahu did not concede defeat he said he would also seek potential allies to form a government but one that excluded our parties. in the coming days we will convene negotiations to ass

the exit polls at the moment suggesting benjamin netanyahu's likud party is projected at winning between 30—33 votes, whereas the blue and white coalition created by benny gantz is projected to win 32-34 benny gantz is projected to win 32—34 seats, and this is where the issue is. when it comes to israeli elections, the proportional representation within the israeli political system means that there will be an awful lot of political bargaining after the election. so, this will all depend on ultimately white avigdor lieberman will do stop he will end up as the king maker, deciding which party, whether it is blue—and—white or likud will create an alliance, to make the government. mr netanyahu an alliance, to make the government. mr neta nyahu called an alliance, to make the government. mr netanyahu called for this vote after failing to form a governing coalition after the election back in april, the first time israel has experienced two elections within one year. so benjamin netanyahu there addressing his supporters. we will ta ke addressing his supporters. we will take a pause from these e

too close to cole exit polls show benjamin netanyahu and challenger benny gantz are neck and neck in israel's general election. has i'm speaking of this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up oil prices for all off to saudi arabia says production will return to normal by the end of september following saturday's attack. dozens of people were killed in 2 gloss in afghanistan one targeted the president's campaign rally. and the brakes are on india's economy but one industry is suffering more than most. oh israel's 2nd general election in a year looks unlikely to break its political stalemate exit polls suggest benny gantz who leads the blue and white party is locked in a tight race with the kurds prime minister benjamin netanyahu neither are expected to win a majority it could lead to weeks of political wrangling carrefour said reports from tel aviv. the music blared benjamin netanyahu smiles but more than 5 hours after voting finished it was clear this was no victory even if he was far from ready to admit defeat in such a mess for years. a government committed to the jewish state

throughout this campaign and the previous campaign that he would never be in the same government as benjamin netanyahu. despite failing to come close to the majority mark netanyahu remained defiant. it's better to lose one's voice. than to lose the country. we have stood together in unity through our relations and we will stand together in all the. tasks which are in front of us for the sake of the state of israel. are a force that has more from the prime minister's liquid party headquarters in tel aviv. well benjamin netanyahu is leaving the stage now having made a speech of defiance a speech way talks about negotiating towards a strong zionist government one which would not be made up he said of arabs he continues his very consistent and in some courses extremely troubling speech that he's been making for several days now about the french listed in a high arab turnout in involvement so how soon is ready for the politicians in the future a government of israel but what he didn't mention was the fact that according to the numbers so far he doesn't have the kind of mandate which would allow him to dict

unity government but they would recommend benny gantz as the 1st step towards getting rid of benjamin netanyahu and i as you say this is a bit of a numbers game hand another key player or other don't even is refusing to back either netanyahu all dance so how will he have facts the final outcome. well yes he has said that he wants his israel bit a new party to sit in a broad liberal secular coalition national unity government he has made his entire campaign really about the division between secular and ultra orthodox religious parts of israeli society and so he says that he wants blue and white and likud and his own party to sit together but he's also the person who made it happen this is the 2nd election essentially by rupturing his relationship with benjamin netanyahu entirely. collapsing the coalition talks that were going on in may and so the question that looms over both his final decision and potentially more importantly that of blue and white is the future of benjamin netanyahu the the likud the liquid party has said that no other party should determine who should be its leader i asked mo

but certainly for his party and his hand benjamin netanyahu secured the backing of all the right wing parties so he is coming in saying well i represent all of these parties ordered 50 seats and you can't do with me in this we'll have to really wait to see what is benny gantz going to say at this stage as we're talking to you they're still waiting for benny gantz to appear at this press conference we'll take it live of course when it does happen how much is at stake here for netanyahu i mean he's fighting for his political life but it's also about his legacy and these corruption charges against him isn't it. yes absolutely there's a lot of stake here for benjamin netanyahu as you said his political legacy but also his future and what's going to happen staying in government is somehow a way for him to try to avoid these corruption charges maybe secure some sort of if unity if indeed he manages to pass a bill through parliament once it convenes again so a very complicated situation benjamin netanyahu is fighting for his survival here is fighting also for to try to get some sort of prote

once again, everything is about benjamin netanyahu. he drove the narrative in the run-up to the election, and now his role is driving it afterward, and the reason for that is according to the exit polls -- and they're sort of consistent now with the percentages, not the sea al indications but what's coming out after 88% of the vote has been counted, that both the likud led by benjamin netanyahu and blue and white are poll percentages. what it means is benny gantz's declaration that he'd like to form a national unity government with the likud but without benjamin netanyahu puts the former or serving current israeli prime minister at the center of events. now, the likud is absolutely adamant for now that that isn't going to happen, that benjamin netanyahu is not going to step down, not the least because he has to try to stitch together a coalition because that is his political agenda, but also there is an intent he has to pass legislation that would give him immunity from prosecution for these three corruption allegations in cases that a

wrapped up in israel's election where people have been deciding whether to keep prime minister benjamin netanyahu in office despite corruption allegations against him exit polls say it's too close to call between netanyahu could passage and ex-military chief benny gantz blue and white are lives the prime minister suffered one of the biggest defeats of his political career when he failed to form a coalition after the 1st vote in april i force that has more from the capacities headquarters. and there are all sorts of potential scenarios that people are talking about the sort of most extreme of those would be that we end up in exactly the same position at 4 as before in some way that that neither benjamin netanyahu is able to to form a coalition nor benny gantz and his blue and white party which could see is heading back towards a 3rd election already a 2nd election election rerun is unprecedented the motivation to prevent that from happening again could according to some analysts mean that there will be more options on the table at least 46 people have been killed in 2 separate bombings in afghanis

will exit polls from israel's 2nd general election this year show the prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the opposition of the benny gantz neck and neck netanyahu had been hoping to secure a record 5th term in office off to failing to form a coalition following the 1st vote in april carney the channel 12 polemically exit polls show that netanyahu with 33 seats and alliance with 34 all the channels are showing them similarly close they need to form a coalition with a 61 seat majority in order to take power. the israeli palestinian jointness led by a man a day in 3rd place with a lemon seats and hardline a. with 8 seats making him a potential kingmaker. well he says that the only option is a unity government is i think joe lieberman making these remarks in the past hour and he is calling for a national unity government between his own and the 2 biggest parties. he shouldn't wait until the official results in an unofficial manner on this coming friday what better than on a friday afternoon prime minister benjamin netanyahu should invite the leader of the blue and white bunny guns to tool

no they don't when benjamin netanyahu dissolved parliament in april he took a gamble it failed to form a coalition and the president was about to ask benny gantz to try to form a coalition instead netanyahu dissolved parliament before the president could do that hoping that in the coming months he could rally his support and win enough seats to get a majority and continue to be the pro the prime minister of israel it's not worked netanyahu is crown is slipping but it hasn't yet for enough it's not all over yet for this very resourceful and wily israeli politician but the latest results in show it's going to be very very hard for him his likud now as 31 seat spending his blue and white house 32 giving him 56 gallons in all but with his coalition partners good 55 in all with that potential coalition partners it means the president is quite possibly may give benny gantz the 1st opportunity the 1st chance to form a coalition government something. so if that's the case how or what sort of form formulation is my we be looking at all kind of scenarios for coalitions. well for benny gantz to m
