can benjamin netanyahu finally form a government the israeli prime minister's bloc celebrates victory following 3 elections in less than a year but what could netanyahu do with this mandate both at home and abroad this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm peter dalby benjamin netanyahu has claimed a general election victory but it's not yet in the bag he's been fighting to stay on as israel's prime minister for a record 5th term after 2 previous general elections failed to produce a clear winner and netanyahu and his main rival benny gantz couldn't form a government but his chances of staying in power have been unexpectedly boosted after the 3rd election in less than a year exit polls show he has a significant lead another potential 1st for mr netanyahu he could end up as the 1st israeli premier to hold office while also being tried for corruption imran khan reports now from west jerusalem. here in israel it's all about politics and deal making right now prime minister benjamin netanyahu is still a few seats short of being able to form a majority government and that m

it will ta ke to for benjamin netanyahu.ium there and making what they call a victory speech. anna foster. and we'll have be talking to a journalist in tel aviv a little later for more on this. that is it right there. we expect mr neta nyahu that is it right there. we expect mr netanyahu to make that speech or claim to victory speech at the party headquarters in tel aviv. cheering and singing for the publication of those exit polls. they support their sinking bb king of israel is alive following that publication. i have to stress that this is an exit poll of the moment and we are still waiting to confirm the full result. but this is the immense life. benjamin neta nyahu claiming victory in this third general election injust claiming victory in this third general election in just one year. though the exit polls suggest is right wing block will fall just suggest is right wing block will falljust short of being able to form a coalition government. i spoke to somebody earlier who said there might be a fourth election but let's k

what he under which he would sit with netanyahu. that the indictment trial is in two weeks. so it seems like perhaps going out on a limb here, assuming that benjamin netanyahu assuming that benjamin neta nyahu would you assuming that benjamin netanyahu would you willing to stand trial, then in fact maybe there is a chance that a government could be pulled together. there are so many ifs and buts, and with a trialjust weeks away, handing over benjamin netanyahu, again, that just increases the feeling of instability, doesn‘t it, within the politics of israel? —— hanging over. absolutely. if the prime minister were to, you know, if he were a sitting prime minister and he were to continue into this indictment, and then he had the power to somehow look into the attorney general, or perhaps change the law altogether, change the immunity law, that would throw this country into constitutional crisis. so then what do you think might happen if that were to be the case?” mean, the spiral possibilities are endless, and i don‘t pretend to be a p

what you've heard out of netanyahu. well he's as you say he's very much claiming this victory he is exuding happiness and success and victory which is something that has been in very short supply over the last 12 months or so and he's making the most of it i think this is the point as you say the exit polls have receded somewhat for his favor he was on his alliance of parties was on 60 knesset seats parliament seats after the 1st round of exit polls he needs 61 in order to form a majority they've been revised down to 59 now that is a final they could get on further they could go up but he is doing all he can here right now to ensure that this is seen across the country as a big victory and in many respects it is for his likud party he has fought a campaign which on one side has been extremely negative in terms of its portrayal of his main challenger benny gantz but in its last couple of days has been fairly positive in terms of at least saying that he is on the brink of a decisive victory it's a campaign which began wit

if netanyahu things at the moment? if neta nyahu can form things at the moment?ahu can form a right—wing block, he will need to, at this point in time, probably pinch off at least to more seats from a rival party in order to form that 61 seats majority. because his right wing locks, at the moment, only stands at 59 seats. i don't think that will be terribly difficult but we will see how the numbers change overnight as to who his partners may be and who the kingmakers will be who have thus far stayed out of the coalition may decide to join mr netanyahu. a standstill still possible at least another election still possible. of course we must limit —— mr netanyahu, course we must limit —— mr neta nyahu, it is course we must limit —— mr netanyahu, it is important for him to stay in office because he is facing corruption trials? absolutely, he goes on trial in march 17 for three counts of primer that pretty much would land him in prison in a short period of time. although voters do not seem to have taken this into calculation, it appears that he is likud party has emer

rather for the 3rd time in less than a year and another neck and neck race prime minister benjamin netanyahu hopes to sway voters with a pledge to end its parts of the west bank if elected. i'm aaron chilton thanks for joining us a campaign aide to pete british has confirmed that he will quit the democratic presidential race the former mayor surprised many when he rose to the top tier of candidates coming join 1st with wyvil bernie sanders in the iowa primary. is ending his bid after a disappointing performance in south carolina's primary on saturday. the move comes just before super tuesday when 14 states hold nominating contests that could produce a clear front runner. who just is expected to officially announce. this decision. for more let's cross to washington carla bleicher is standing by carla what more can you tell us who just was a dynamic presence in the campaign so why is he throwing in the towel no well many office supporters 6 were certainly surprised by this decision i was just in touch with one of his volunteers and she said she could not believe it. of course to charge has not

that's always been his line that netanyahu cannot sit in the prime minister's office at the same time as trying to fight off corruption cases especially at a time when of course there is a national emergency going on he's decided it seems to to give up on those various firm points that he's been making for so long and he's been called all sorts of things as a result there are those on the left of israeli politics who are calling a collaborator someone is going to be a rug under the feet of an alleged criminal and race hate inciter which is what they say benjamin netanyahu is so this is a big political gamble he's losing a huge amount of political capital and possibly goodwill as a result of this he says obviously he will say that it's big it's trying to save israeli democracy the time of national emergency we wait to see how it plays out no government announced yet but that looks very much the next phase of all this big gamble from benny gantz of the air force a thanks a lot. now the australian man accused of murdering 51 people in attacks on 2 new zealand mosques a year ago has admit

netanyahu may yet come out slightly ahead but with no. for a clear majority his conservative party is bracing for more coalition talks and perhaps more deadlock because now it's round 3 for israel's elections let's get you the latest time yet cramer did a correspondent is standing by in jerusalem time you're wonderful to see what are the chances that this election right now will break israel's a political deadlock well i think it's going to be a very interesting election evening because up until election day today all the polls have shown a neck and neck race in the last days a slight advantage for benyamin netanyahu but also a neck and neck race between the 2 blocs because he is or you look mainly the religious right wing blog that by the likud party in benjamin netanyahu and the. center left bloc led by many guns and his blue and white alliance this is what we will be looking at both have been painting in the past weeks and months but it has been a very fatigued come pain but i have to say voter turn out got some think is during the day

presumably allowing netanyahu growth to go 1st in any unity government it's very likely to splinter his blue and white alliance the many palestinian israeli jointness has already said that they would vote against that the dance is obviously trying to deal with netanyahu in a way which he hadn't. signaled he was willing to even as recently as yesterday and so this is very likely both to splinter the opposition and crucially for netanyahu who faces 3 corruption cases a trial starting due to start at least in may this gives him a huge advantage it seems in staying in belfast street the prime minister's residence in west jerusalem staying in power and fighting his corruption cases in due course as well as what he says he wants to do which is fight off the coronavirus epidemic hairy force that their western islam bringing us all the latest thanks very much harry now the gunman accused of shooting dozens of muslim worshipers at to mosques in new zealand has reversed his plea to guilty brenton terence now admits $51.00 murder charges as well as 40 attempted murders and terrorism the 29 yea

netanyahu supporters were pleasantly surprised. it's a story like. that but if you think that. it's likely netanyahu will be given a chance to form a coalition for an historic 5th term but it's unclear exactly how he'll break the deadlock this election was called after he tried and failed to get enough support last time around netanyahu campaigned in the shadow of a looming corruption trial which is due to start in 2 weeks his victory cements his reputation is israel's most durable of politicians. for more let's bring in alexandra goff lama store if he's a member of the german bunds dog from the business friendly free democrats and he's also chair of the german israeli parliamentary friendship group good morning and thanks so much for coming in today it's looking morning benjamin netanyahu could well be putting together a new right wing israeli government what would a new netanyahu government mean for german israeli relations. german israeli relations traditionally transcend. politics so they are so much anchored in history and a shared responsibility for the security of the st
