>> that was the beginning of the rise of ben-gvir.e was inciting, wherever he was, there was violence. there might have been violence without him but he is an inciter. that shook israelis. that was not so long ago. it was after the gaza war, perhaps in part because of the gaza war. i think you were right to ask that question because that is the beginning of the feeling of a lack of security amongst israelis and that is the feeling ben-gvir has been speaking to. as we can see, he has reaped the benefits. 15 seats is huge. tom: we have a clip of some israeli arabs speaking about these elections and expressing concern before the elections happened. the turnout among israeli arabs will probably be on the low side. let's listen to what some had to say. >> honestly, iis a worrying situation because arab citizens are boycotting the elections. it is also worrying because the far right will win this election and become a strong force. i'm worried for theesults. i hope arabs will succeed in securing if not 8, 12 seats. there is a chancthe far r

ben gvir has put forward so mr.anyahu will have to navigate very carefully between his coalition loyalties and to enlist these people in his cabinet. he has said he will give the ministries. and between that and between israel's face to the world, it will be a complicated maneuver for him. but the first thing he wanted to do was get this victory, get this majority in parliament so he can form a governmen and after that, we'll have to see hohe does the balancing act between his extreme right-wing partners and other foreign relations that israel has to face and other issues he has to deal with as pri minister. rin: and another big issue that he has to deal with, benjamin netanyahu's legal challenges, his corruption t trial. that he's likely to be prime minister, do we think he's going to try and bring those legal proceedings to an end somehow? joel: well, the understanding here is there are many analysts saying he wil try to do what he can to t to get this trial canceled or postponed. his new right-wing allies have ac

if netanyahu succeeds, a key member of his government will likely be itamar ben-gvir, an ultra-nationalist lawmaker who openly supports the ethnic cleansing of palestinians. in 2007, he was convicted of incitement to racism and supporting a terrorist organization. netanyahu served as prime minister from 1996 to 1999 and then again from 2009 to 2021. he is currently on trial for corruption. in brazil, defeated far-right president bolsonaro made his first public statements tuesday, two days after he lost the presidential election to leftist former president luiz inacio lula da silva. bolsonaro neither conceded nor contested the election results. but after he spoke, his chief-of-staff said the transition to a new administration would start. bolsonaro also urged his supporters to stop disruptive protests, though mancontinued to block streets and major highways on tuesy night. south korea is accusing north korea of firing a missile into south koreans waters for the first time since the nations were divided in the 1950's. this came as north korea launched a total of at least 23 missiles into the

we saw in that report a bit about one of the far right leaders, itamar ben—gvir, a firebrand as he isement in the occupied west bank, in hebron. he has convictions from his teenage years for inciting racism and he actually did not serve in the israeli army and he was not conscripted aged 18 due to his extremist record. an irony that many point out because he called for immunity laws for israeli soldiers who shoot palestinians and much tougher security laws. but his political rise has been to this level has been extremely quick. just a couple of years ago it was pointed out in one election he gave a speech to virtually no one and certainly no media and yesterday he was absolutely mobbed. so we have seen his growth as a leader of thejewish power faction extremely fast and one of the areas that he has been a street agitator has been in occupied eastjerusalem. in one neighbourhood there has been an ongoing attempt to evict palestinian residents who have been there many years to make way forjewish settlers. he is often seen on the streets of the neighbourhood in the past year or so and his

to say is that some of the figures involved, one about whom there has been much focus, itamar ben—gvirrely as a street agitator, that wherever you find tensions in israel and occupied palestinian territories, he will often be there in the view of his critics pouring petrol on the flames of conflict that already exist. people are really worried about because if he got a position, for example, if he is asked to be the minister of internal security, that would give him control of the police and that concerns people. more explicitly in terms of policy, these are parties to argue for the annexation of the occupied west bank. that means what they want is israel to take the land but not the palestinian people who live there. that of course would, and has in the past, when the policy has been suggested, met met with international condemnation. and also this is a party that openly calls for the expulsion of disloyal arabs. that is creating mood among palestinian citizens of israel of of concern. we had from when yesterday's speaking of the fear within the community that could lead to more viole
