well yes that's something that the president riven rivlin has said he wants to avoid but he wants to see a government formed quickly and one that that harnesses that the will of the people as expressed in this vote so there is given those comments given lieberman's comments given the expected sort of propensity as far as doing what is concerned for for some kind of. potentials of centrist secular administration there is a lot of weight behind that idea but the sticking point is very likely to be next in yahoo's own position i mean one potential option that's been talked about is some kind of a rotating premiership between benny gantz and netanyahu but with his corruption cases in the offing. his 1st. korean dykeman hearing just next week that complicates matters still further thank you very much harry for sit there look at party headquarters. crude oil prices have dropped by 5 percent up to saudi arabia announced it's restored 50 percent of the production was caught following saturday's drone attacks a saudi energy minister says output will be fully restored by the end of the month y

well because according to riven rivlin he has affirmed and bess a number of potential coalition partners in these ready knesset than the numbers recommending. benjamin netanyahu for the prime minister's job offered 5 compared to 54 for benny gantz and 10 of those 54 for benny gantz from the many palestinian israeli joint list who said they wouldn't actually sit in a government karaoke sorry i'm going to interrupt. because we've got more developments to do with donald trump and the impeachment situation here he is with the ukrainian president obama's event ski. after earlier. and it's an honor to be with you and we spoke a couple of times as you probably remember. they'd like to hear every single word we hear them every single word and then assemble one of us today and i think the press would like to stay in the media that we have left which is like. that but the country. our country is doing an hourly well we are we have the best economy we've ever had if you let's do it well and we are we have the best economy we've ever had we have the best employment numbers that we've ever had we hav

of was really president riven rivlin had made it clear earlier this week and indeed since the election result came in that he wanted to see a unity government between the 2 biggest parties benjamin netanyahu xli could and benny gantz is blue and white but the talks that he had sponsored and tried to broker failed after just 2 days worth of trying and so he decided that the other option available to him was to give the mandate to try to form a coalition government to one of those 2 men he chose benjamin netanyahu because he had a coalition bloc in waiting of some 55 seats in the israeli parliament the knesset you need 61 for a majority coalition government benjamin netanyahu came on to the up to the podium to say that he had a slightly less bad chance a century of making the government than benny gantz did but he seemed to rule out the prospect of trying to peel off a few seats here in there to rule without blue and white to govern without blue and white saying that he would still pursue a unity government and he was open to the prospect of some kind of rotational prime ministerial deal

liquids right wing natural allies down to some $53.00 and so that would give the president of israel riven rivlin the option and potentially the likelihood of getting benny gantz the 1st attempt at making a coalition government so a very serious situation for benjamin netanyahu well indeed harry and i want to ask you because president rivlin has made it very clear that he doesn't want a fat election and so is that likely to propel him to want to push for a coalition government regardless of what her sentence. certainly that's the that but that's certainly a pretty fair reading of the tweet that he put out fairly soon after polls closed he said that he wanted a government formed quickly one that reflected the will of the people as expressed in this vote and a situ. which would avert what he really doesn't want to see which is a 3rd election and he's not the only one who doesn't want to see now that the president has been broken and that the thing that everyone thought couldn't happen an election rerun has happened there is i think going to be a lot more room for creative thinking and compromise to

wouldn't sit with gantz in a government they would merely recommend him so according to the president riven rivlin. netanyahu has a clear a path towards forming a coalition government you need $61.00 to have a majority he has $55.00 pretty much locked in and still on the sidelines of course is a big door lieberman his former political ally and friend and enemy and very much seen in the enemy camp at the moment having brought down the coalition talks last time around assuring in the election which netanyahu forced saying that he wouldn't give it to somebody else to do it to have an opportunity in april so here we are netanyahu being intrusted with this mandate the question is whether he tries to get a few extra people peel son out of blue and white try to get some of the left wing parties on board appeal to leave him and or whether he himself decides that it's a lost cause fairly soon and hands it back to president rivlin we wait to see how things play out from here very interesting thank you harry fawcett in west jerusalem. well the u.k. parliament has reconvened an m.p.'s have a lot of questions

victory now what happens next depends to a large extent on the actions of 2 men the president riven rivlin up to whom it will be to decide who gets the 1st chance to form a coalition and also i believe in the man who brought down the coalition talks last time he's tweeted in the last few minutes saying that the only option is a form of national unity government involving both pentagon says blue and white and who's the good party as well as his own israel baity new party now i'm joined here by the hock up she's a sunni contributing editor at the jerusalem post so we're only now as anyone wanted to know one last year but we really don't know who the winner of the loser is. in 2 out of the 3 pulls the right wing bloc is larger than the left wing bloc which would make it seem like that is how is a better chance of being the 1st 1st hand to be tasked to forming a coalition but really people are talking about every day lieberman as the king maker and that's true but there are really 2 can't makers at the other one is out of the joint last which is the game israeli arab bloc in class that. they h

the former prime minister of israel shimon peres it was choreographed by the current president riven rivlin he appealed to them both to get together and to try and form a national unity government netanyahu at this event talked about how peres had served in a rotational prime minister arrangement with his great rival in the 1980 s. it's a mere clearly hinting that he wanted to see something similar to that happen this time around he said he was disappointed later on in the day that dance had not taken him up on his offer but there are those on the opposition side that see this is not in in good in good faith at all that netanyahu is trying to frame dance essentially as the one to blame if and when coalition talks fail entirely don't forget that netanyahu is facing 3 separate corruption cases the 1st print dykeman hearing is due on october the 2nd and looming behind everything as you said at the beginning of all this is the prospect that everybody seems very keen to avoid the prospect of a 3rd election the question is whether they will be able to be creative enough make enough compromises th

bit a new party remains on the sidelines not recommending anybody so the question remains how riven rivlin the president of israel decides to move ahead he could say that benny gantz has 33 seats for his party therefore he deserves 1st crack netanyahu having failed last time and failed to give the mandate back to give somebody else an opportunity calling instead for 2nd elections or he could say well there are more recommendations for netanyahu he has a more solid firm grouping of potential coalition partners will give him the 1st go there are reports flying around that my either of them actually wants the 1st opportunity but they'd rather let the other team fail and then try and pick up the pieces later so right now when you look at the numbers guy seems to be in pole position but nets now can't be completely a break knopf can he. no people have tried to rip right off netanyahu on several occasions and he's made a habit of proving them wrong the question is though how he manages to cling on to power he came out with videos statements very soon after the joint this made this declaration la
