i'm tamron hall. this is "newsnation." we begin with developing news this hour. today's crucial election in israel is under way. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is fighting for his political survival in what polls have shown is an incredibly tight race. after he voted, the prime minister warned quote, right wing rule is in danger. that follows a dramatic pledge yesterday if reelected, there will be no palestinian state established on his watch. that is seen as reversal of his long-standing promise to the united states. his comments are seen as a last ditch effort to appeal to hard line voters. in contrast netanyahu's rival union party leader isaac herzog promised to revive peace talks with the palestinians after he voted. he says the election is about change, hope and new direction for israel. joining me from tel aviv our middle east correspondent grant vincent. thanks for joining us. polls have another five hours, but could take days or longer before we know the outcome because it is believed to be this close. >> reporter: yes, and if it is closed could take a

>> is this to me tamron? >> i'm so sorry, this to simon. >> yeah. look, i don't think she had to speak thatifying. it's what happens over the next few months. i don't think there's any one moment in this that will be determining. they are on top of it moving quickly. the clintons know how to handle tough political situations. they have been through a lot before. i've been there with them through some of them so they know what to do and they are acting expediently, but the most important thing now over the next six weeks is they have got to accelerate the launch of the official campaign so she can be a candidate and making her argument and so that this is not the only set of stories out there defining her in an early and difficult way in the early days of her candidacy. >> as you mentioned, you believe they know what they are doing but you know the rollout of the book for example and even this your comments were they need to be in front of this. it's a different game given social media and the rapid spin that comes across. with that said what is the

>> well, no, tamron.ire controversy over hillary clinton's e-mails prompted a question on should she have her campaign running faster, as soon as possible to be able to respond to these things. one of the arguments you hear from people is she had a full fledged campaign probably would have had a better answer earlier on, you would have more people defending her than you've seen thus far. on the other hand, one of the benefits not having a campaign up and operational now is she is not going from places like iowa to new hampshire with every reporter hundreds of reporters asking these types of questions that would even in some ways perpetuate how long this story lasts. but clearly to answer your question tamron we're not going to hear from her. when we do, it will be interesting to hear what she has to say. >> you have scott walker ted cruz the list goes on and on jeb bush the big name there, you had a former clinton adviser on at the top of the hour asking the questions about jeb bush's e-mail that we are a

as you know tamron there are at least 30 democratic members of congress that will not attend this speech. vice president biden has gone off to guatemala, so the sharp tensions that exist don't go away with the decision i think by both samantha power and netanyahu to emphasize many of the positive things that do indeed exists. nobody thinks the u.s. israeli relationship or u.s. commitment is going to go away but as prime minister netanyahu put it he said israel and the u.s. agree iran should not have nukes but disagree on the best way to prevent it. that's really at the heart of this debate. and that is also a debate that's not going to go away whether or not they can come to any sort of agreement on iran nukes. if they do what the outlines of that will be. >> and we know at the same time you have secretary of state john kerry continuing negotiations in switzerland. the president is also scheduled to give an interview to reuters this afternoon. it seems as if everyone is jockeying in attempt to say calm down from a week of high level rhetoric from both sides, it seems. >> ratchet down the

>> i would expect that tamron. when you look at the circumstances, if you think about if a flight attendant had been in the airplane and in the cockpit at the time that would have changed this co-pilot's plan. he may have been able to do some harm to some other person which would have prolonged the process of doing whatever it was that he was going to do. it also may have negated it. it would have mitigated the possibility because you now have to deal with a second person in the aircraft especially in the cockpit. they can prevent and can open up the door and allow others in so there are a lot of ifs, and when you look at it in the grand scheme of things this wasn't something that i don't believe he showed up that day and decided to do. we talked about it with mh-370 that the captain in this particular instance who is the focus didn't just plan to go to work that day and take this airplane and fly it into the south indian ocean. there was some planning there, and that's what investigators are going to have to look

that's why tamron has that in her hair. >> that's so wrong. >> wow! and the crowd behind it.

this is the most rugged terrain there is tamron plus coming out of winter high elevation. this is what the terrain looks like in the area. they're going to have trouble collecting it even if it was a sunny day, the debris let alone finding black boxes. nothing sounds pleasant about it at all. >> does not. a terrifying and your heart goes out to the families now. >> and people on board the plane for the 10 12 minutes they had to go through the ordeal. >> absolutely. we received a statement, not terribly long ago, 30 minutes ago from a school that 16 students and two teachers were supposed to board that flight. we don't have confirmation they got on the plane. they're feared to be on the plane as part of a school trip. bill points out the terrain on the best day would be very difficult. now we are looking at these conditions on the ground now that make this not impossible but this will be very very slow. we continue to follow today's tragic news. the crash of germanwings flight 9525 152 people on board. we are told that does include two infants. we will bring you the very la

>> different sort of tone tamron. >> different tone, different choice of words. or will this be much the same. >> even though i don't think he will come to congress and attack the obama administration. i don't think he will have a pit bull kind of tone from him. i think he will layout his case perhaps in great detail as to what he sees as an existential threat to israel from the prospect of an iranians nuclear weapon and he will argue for his position in the negotiations that iran shouldn't be left with capacity to potentially make a nuclear bomb as opposed to what seems to be the american position, under no circumstances can iran develop a nuclear bomb. >> eugene we know this is described as political football. secretary kerry said that was his concern. i believe susan rice referred to it as potentially destructive. this happened because of invitation by the speaker of the house, without the white house being consulted. is there pressure for the prime minister to pay that off for lack of better description. >> yeah there is some pressure for him to repair whatev
