and israel holds president of repeats all the parliamentary election to the fate of prime minister binyamin busy netanyahu we look at double trouble to be lending his weight to the campaign.

it sounds like you are saying the path is narrowing but it is not the end of the binyamin netanyahu erall has broken. he is in a position that is not as strong as what he went into this election, so, there is that, but he is not out, he hasn't given up. he is still going to try to eco—out some political survival. what he was aiming for was a right—wing coalition government that would help him pass an immunity law that would protect him from prosecution with looming corruption indictments coming. that possibility seems less now, much less. and so if he does manage to survive it would be likely be in a way that he would be likely be in a way that he would be weaker than before, but he has not been ruled out of the picture. barbara, i know you will keep us aprized of all the latest twists and turns. last week we showed you andrew yang shooting hoops ahead of a presidential debate in houston. this time he has been playing the part of another contender. rocky balboa. mryang was campaigning in philadelphia, outside the famous art museum. made famous by those steps that sylvester stallone ran

another person told me that this election is really the only thing that was discussed is whether binyamin netanyahu will stay or go and nothing no substance in there so certainly people a lot worried many people will tell you that if they're worried about the future of democracy in this country they're also worried about how the country is hearing and no one is expecting a result to be much different than the one back in april so many will tell you we're going sort of a neck catch 22 situation tomorrow will be exactly like the day after of the april election the negotiations to form a coalition government might be exactly the same but there are some differences and those differences will be made by the smaller parties because this is the one voting system really here in israel where you have parties who get the lion's share of the votes but it's the ones that get to the small of those that are actually the decision makers kingmakers in the end so certainly you have this mixture of worry of this illusion that anything will really change and also people say well we need to have a change we
