a decade is coming from three former army chiefs of staff men who also know security here in west jerusalem most people are telling us that security has always been a priority for israelis but there are other issues just as important that need to be addressed in a simple that people here are barely living it's the economy we can have costs go up without salaries also increasing i hope this time netanyahu will have the strength to create a broadly focused government that will be able to address all of these issues not only emphasize security which is where we invest most of our money recent polls show that the main issues on voters' minds are security the economy and corruption netanyahu is facing corruption charges in three separate cases you turn the general has announced he intends to indict the prime minister pending a pretrial hearing to be how it's trying to size curity just like he's trying to emphasize the economy just like he's trying to emphasize his rules of articulations but the election is not about any of those three things it's about corruption and whether israelis care about.

for the bill he read with the latest from west jerusalem harder thank you. e.u. leaders are locked in emergency talks over whether to grant the u.k. a break said extension prime minister to resign may has been unable to get her withdrawal agreement through parliament and british m.p.'s are yet to agree on an alternative plan a is asking for an extension this time to june the thirtieth but certain e.u. leaders think the u.k. should be given a longer delay and take part in european parliamentary elections i've been clear that the u.k.'s request is for the extension to see if i could be working to make sure that we leave the european union. the european union by now the parliament didn't pass the withdrawal agreed. so we need that extra time to work to ensure that we can get a deal straight parliament this enables us to be even a signal to the bank that's in everybody's interest i think what matters is that we are able to the see european union at the point at which we ratify got withdrawal agreements that would enable us to leave on the twenty second of may well an

i remember distinctly remembering that this was the wall that separated the east and west jerusalem. and this was no man's land here. >> my family lived in jerusalem for centuries. in 1948 the state was pounded, and for the palestinians this time was called the catastrophe. like many palestinians, my father and his entire family were pushed out of their ancestral home. they moved to a small apartment in east jerusalem because the city was divided into aa jewish and an arab city. and in 1967, the six-day war happened when the israelis invaded jerurusalem anand conqu it. we have lived under the israeli occupation ever since, always longing to go back to our ancestral homes. >> and my father's story that we left the home that he was born in and his father, etc., always was with us. >> whenever i walk here i feel as though i'm walking with a shiver in my body. like i feel at home. they used to have the stables down there. and actually, this is my father's room right there. for threes three years i would say easily 50-year-old trees. because my father, when he came here, he said he remembe

and we're covering the story from all angles in a few moments will speak to what a comedian west jerusalem first let's get us reaction from kimberly helka who joins us here on the news from our bureau in washington kimberly as far as mr trump is concerned is this pretty much what looks like it will be the results he absolutely would want. absolutely and we've been seeing these signs for a few weeks now there's no question that donald trump and benjamin netanyahu have made it very public that they are firm supporters of one another we saw that recent weeks when we saw the israeli prime minister here in washington appearing in the oval office it was a carefully orchestrated photo opportunity in advance of the israeli polls in order for donald trump to once again endorse an even you know campaign on behalf of the israeli prime minister in turn the israeli prime minister said to donald trump that there is no better friend than donald trump when it comes to israel that he serves the interests of israel it seems the two have been very public about their shared goals and in return because of that

guns is just ahead in the polls or shortly we'll go live to our correspondent stephanie deca in west jerusalem but first this report from harry fawcett. on the last day of campaigning benjamin netanyahu turned to a familiar closing argument the mortal danger facing his likud party's right wing government. will be ours very late at the moment we are behind a few seats lapping gats are leading the only way to close the gap and ensure with certainty about the could will form the next government that have a big we could bring all the people. who says israel needs him but only he could have won victories such as last month's us endorsement that israeli sovereignty over the occupied golan heights. he's also made a last minute promise to impose sovereignty over in other words an exterior israel to every illegal settlement in the occupied west bank all but killing off any still lingering hopes of a two state solution. he's gone back on similar pre-election pledges before so this time does he mean it seems like this is an election ploy but. we're in uncharted territory in this election and with the ind

west jerusalem. was just hours after claiming victory came a different tone from the man now likely to become the leader of israel's opposition. they want to different way and we're going to deliver it i told you that i came for ten years this is only the first morning there's plenty of work ahead of me. in reality the day brought only growing certainty that the former army chiefs project to unseat israel's prime minister had failed. only b.b. king bibi had been a chance in the early hours of wednesday and once again benjamin netanyahu backed up his boast that there really is no one like him in israeli politics. very moved that the people of israel put their trust in me again for the fifth time a greater trust even he managed to take enough votes from right wing rivals to gain seats for his likud party without undermining support for his preferred coalition partners personally as well as politically the stakes have never been higher i think the main purpose of these elections a was to get a majority

as speak to her dr hamid who is in west jerusalem for his heart and so no final results yet but we do have a clearer picture than we did last night. yes absolutely i mean as you said no final results yet but as you see now the picture shows that only benyamin netanyahu will be able to form a coalition and then will become again the prime minister of israel now those consultations with the president for the formation of this coalition should be starting next week the office of president rivlin has announced that actually for the first time in israel's history those full cetaceans will happen live on television for all israelis to see now the president's office say that in the sake of transparency but president really is also under a lot of pressure he's been seen as always favoring benny gantz rather than benjamin in his relations with the incumbent prime minister have been frosty times so we're going to have to we don't know exactly when that's going to start but sometime next week sunday maybe monday i think also the issue and certainly in the disappointed those who backed benny gant

three years netanyahu has approved around twenty thousand new settlement units in the west bank including is jerusalem so the sons hear that things might be getting much worse thank you for that need to abraham live for us in ramallah in the occupied west bank while netanyahu is in position to secure a fifth term despite looming corruption charges he's expected to be indicted on three counts of corruption if convicted he could face ten years in prison it's now suspected of accepting excess expensive gifts from billionaires in exchange for favors and providing favorable conditions to an israeli telecom provider in return for positive coverage on a website owned by the company he's also accused of colluding with the publisher of a newspaper to hurt its rival again in return for positive coverage let's speak about this not to you any ben amana sham who is a political analyst and former chief editor of israel radio his live from west jerusalem thank you for being with us on al-jazeera so netanyahu may have won the votes may have won another term but he's not out of the wood yes woods yet when it comes to

a decade is coming from three former army chiefs of staff men who also know security here in west jerusalem most people are telling us that security has always been a priority for israelis but there are other issues just as important that need to be addressed in a simple that people here are barely living it's the economy we can have costs go up without salaries also increasing i hope this time netanyahu will have the strength to create a broadly focused government that will be able to address all of these issues not only emphasize security which is where we invest most of our money recent polls show that the main issues on voters' minds are security the economy and corruption netanyahu is facing corruption charges in three separate cases you turn to general has announced he intends to indict the prime minister pending a pretrial hearing and it's trying to resize curity just like he's trying to emphasize the economy just like his trying to live out of relations but the election is not about any of those three things it's about corruption and whether israelis care about. so far as occasions

that's despite benny gantz well it winning as many seats and as harry force that reports from west jerusalem netanyahu is. acted to get the support of small at right wing parties to form a coalition government. just hours after claiming victory came a different tone from the man now likely to become the leader of israel's opposition ten lots of the gulshan given the size of the blocks this is the reality the fight isn't over the dialogues continue to mean. the day brought only growing certainty that the former army chiefs project to unseat israel's prime minister had failed. i believe b.b. king bibi had been a chance in the early hours of wednesday and once again benjamin netanyahu backed up his boast that there really is no one like him in israeli politics zillo very moved that the people of israel put their trust in me again for the fifth time a greater trust even he managed to take enough votes from right wing rivals to gain seats for his likud party without undermining support for his preferred coalition partners personally as well as politically the stakes have never been higher i think

two palestinian israeli parties in the running kerry force it is our correspondent in west jerusalem looking at the battle for power. which of these men do israelis want as their prime minister for all the myriad parties and themes to loomed over this campaign the real fight remains benjamin netanyahu versus benny gantz. never a better friend than you for israel's prime minister the strategy has been clear portray himself as the only politician capable of playing in the big league keeping israel safe and scoring wins such as last week's u.s. indorsement it israeli sovereignty over the occupied golan heights like his friend in the white house he's gone on the attack against the media and the legal establishment whose investigation into lavish gifts and alleged media manipulation he calls a witch hunt nonetheless in the middle of the campaign his attorney general decided enough real witches were found to recommend indictment for bribery fraud and breach of trust which netanyahu denies it remained an issue for a few days on the agenda and then and then the agenda when the news agenda we

and failing that it can even go to a third candidate stephanie decker joins us now live from west jerusalem so it's shaping up for a fifth term from that in the hope where does that leave israeli politics shaping up. it seems to be going further and further to the right sadly certainly almost nonexistent i mean one voter who actually didn't vote yesterday i was talking to at the polling station said in a sort of sarcastic way israelis do have a choice between the right and the right even though netanyahu has campaigned very much focusing in threatening his his support base that a vote for guns would mean a vote for the left the left has become a very dirty word when it comes to the politics yes i mean i think looking ahead certainly looking at the polls it looks like prime minister benjamin netanyahu as you said will be having a fifth term what kind of policies are we going to be seeing you've already seen a shift in policies to the right i think also very significant when it comes to the palestinian issue we are waiting. of the century a much awaited much closely guarded secret what if the

that will determine if benyamin netanyahu will remain in office for a fifth term he voted in west jerusalem while his main challenger benny gantz urged the country to embrace a new dawn opinion polls put dance's blue and white coalition just ahead of next now's likud party but the prime minister appears to have the best chance of forming another governing coalition. a missed tell you i had no major dollars but this is a sacred act this is truly the essence of democracy and we should be blessed with it but you need to choose well i cannot say what i can but i don't want to not hear the government that i'm happy to place myself at the service of the state of israel in the citizens of israel i'm happy to stand for the good of the citizens on a new powerful we call for a respectful and quiet day from all sides. live not to entre there is hoda abdel-hamid who's that many dances a blue and white coalition headquarters in ten of the blue and white coalition hoda how much of a threat are they to me code and are they really the breath of fresh air they claim to be is there a real difference between

that he's off the hook when it comes to these charges thanks so much stephanie deca there in west jerusalem continue this though with brahimi she's live for us in that. as i'm sure you know this is one of the few elections where the palestinian issue is almost not featuring a whole in the rhetoric of the major parties how the palestinians view this one. so we've heard mainly from palestinian officials who said that the palestinian issue has not been on the agenda and not only that they said that bell is really politicians have been fighting over who is going to give less rights to the palestinian rather than going forward with the peace process we've heard from the p.l.o. secretary general saw about a father who said that the israelis have said clearly that they voted yes for occupation and nor for peace they do not expect any progress when it comes to the palestinian issue on the contrary in the election campaign of the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he said that he was he was going to be an ex in west bank settlements and he is it not in favor of evacuating any settler from the

west jerusalem the us president has accused germany of failing to pay its fair share into nato speaking after talks with the secretary-general yet in washington donald trump warned members contributions the security alliance will have to increase. we work together on getting some of our allies to pay their fair share it's called burden sharing and as you know when i came it wasn't so good and now it's catching up we have seven of the twenty eight countries are currently current and the rest are trying to catch up and they will catch up and some of them have no problems because they haven't been paying and they're very rich but we're looking at a two percent of g.d.p. level and at some point i think it's going to have to go higher than that i think probably it should be higher. meanwhile the u.s. acting defense secretary says he believes that nato ally turkey will cancel its order of a russian air defense system on monday washington announced to hold two deliveries of its f. a thirty five warplanes to ankara it was the culmination of months of warnings that turkey's purchase of the russi

will determine if benjamin the senior who will remain in office for a fifth term he says in the west jerusalem his main challenger benny gantz forces earlier urging the country to embrace a new dawn opinion polls put dances blue and white alliance just ahead of messenia likud party whoever the prime minister appears to have the best chance of forming another governments. i must tell you i had no major dollars but this is a sacred act this is truly the essence of democracy and we should be blessed with it but you need to choose well i cannot say what i can but i don't want to not hear so let's not make the i'm happy to place myself at the service of the state of israel in the citizens of israel i'm happy to stand for the good of the citizens on a new powerful we call for a respectful and quiet day from all sides well let's get more on this from a stephanie decker who joins us from occupied east jerusalem stephanie you've been there talking with the voices are all did you get a sense of what we're expecting when the the exit polls are release. i think it's very difficult to call because even tho

a decade is coming from three former army chiefs of staff men who also know security here in west jerusalem most people are telling us that security has always been a priority for israelis but there are other issues just as important that need to be addressed in a simple that people here are barely living it's the economy we can have costs go up without salaries also increasing i hope this time netanyahu will have the strength to create a broadly focused government that will be able to address all of these issues not only emphasize security which is where we invest most of our money recent polls show that the main issues on voters' minds are security the economy and corruption netanyahu is facing corruption charges in three separate cases you turn a general has announced he intends to indict the prime minister pending a pretrial hearing to be how it's trying to size curity just like he's trying to emphasize the economy just like he's trying to come out of relations but the election is not about any of those three things it's about corruption. and whether israelis care about. so far indicati

asked people in west jerusalem what's important to them bibi isn't the only nickname the israeli prime minister goes by another term benjamin netanyahu has cultivated and banked on over the years is mr security to the people of israel that he is the only one who can make them feel safe and secure but now the strongest challenge to his position in a decade is coming from three former army chiefs of staff men who also know security here in west jerusalem most people are telling us that security has always been a priority for israelis but there are other issues just as important that need to be addressed in a simple that people here are barely living it's the economy we can have costs go up without salaries also increasing i hope this time netanyahu will have the strength to create a broadly focused government that will be able to address all of these issues not only emphasize security which is where we invest most of our money recent polls show that the main issues on the mines are security the economy and corruption netanyahu is facing corruption charges in three separate cases the tour

we were the owners of these houses seventy seven percent of west jerusalem before forty eight was palestinian owned and when i talk about palestinians i talk about muslims christians and the minority of jewish people. the new first train station as they call it a look at the kitchens inside the rest. most of those people will be palestinians probably from the west bank or from marginalized areas and to most of them with very low salaries. they are treated like garbage and this alexis that the man. just usually get out of in no way they say if they have the guts to put up. with i love unless the civil like the taliban look this is the way stand on. a avenue yes absolutely i mean the outlook nice man. who can come can come from the city and it just it is a once we all feel would be i give us a nod mama give me. a then we'll listen to the. solution. there's a place with. a. similar vision. for syria a smash set in baghdad a little. study of a school where he will tell you evolution if you've never heard of it if it has. been. just a little bit of a mission to show the. best. out of the whole thi

to the center of west jerusalem and just show you how the occupation is not a part of the lives in the thoughts of the people here it is as if visiting i'm originally from the from my students are you from where so come visit the old homeland. although zionism played a role in that i was able to come here you know i'm like problems to be refugees only able to you know i thought the idea of israel wasn't such a bad idea if we could accommodate with the palestinians and i really believe that we could find a way to live together and so on raiden are able to dismiss that they don't think about it it's the land of israel that's it's in the bible it's unproblematic it's ours we came back you guys. palestinians are intruders you know and you know this whole claim that actually isn't true but the whole claim that those are a gamut between the israel i see in the hebrews of the bible and jews of today you know is what makes that tie so you know this is our land just go back and look at the bible the and that's where israel of course gets a lot of support from christian fundamentalists. not just

days to try and failing that it can go to a third candidate stephanie decker joins us live from west jerusalem so two claims of victories overnight is it any clearer for israelis waking up today who the real winner is. it is much clearer there's only one man who really can be prime minister and everything indicating that it is going to be benjamin netanyahu for a fifth term why because it's a basic game of math really when it comes to politics here sadly regardless of which party gets the most votes it is the smaller parties that have to add up those numbers say you are mentioning that in the knesset over sixty one seats where we stand at the moment as you mentioned almost one hundred percent of the vote counted is that the right wing bloc the likud bloc sixty five seats and dances block so to speak fifth. there are still some tweaks to be expected two hundred thousand votes still to be counted particularly from the soldiers so there could be some tweaks when it comes to which party is it going into the threshold or not but the bigger picture is this it looks like this is going to be a more ri

get the palestinian reaction from meter abraham in ramallah but first to stephanie decker in west jerusalem stephanie no final results yet but we do have a clearer picture than last night. absolutely both men there declaring victory but there is only space for one prime minister vali and it seems that it will again be benjamin netanyahu heading into a fifth term which would make him the longest serving prime minister in the history of the state of israel there's a couple of votes for around two hundred thousand still left to count most of those us soldiers were expecting those results that say within the next twenty four hours it may affect what small parties come into the knesset that's the israeli parliament or not but the bigger picture certainly does seem to be that. netanyahu is best placed to form the block the government so we're going to wait and see but i think that is the consensus the feeling here certainly the people we've been speaking to mixed folly but certainly hoping some of them it will be a national unity government which would include but i think it will still be a coupl

to see the whole of the holy basin if we're talking in terms of this battle between east and west jerusalem your view is need to understand there is no such concept of arab east jerusalem today there really isn't there's only a small area called the holy basin which the arab world really wants which they obviously could never get in the battle the conflict is over one particular area which is the old city and the area around the old city for the first. we're not a secret organization it's a very very well known normal regulated nonprofit organization and it's not hidden . from me here you get to see what we call the center of the jewish world center of jewish life history heritage everything about our connection to jerusalem. starts and has continued for three thousand eight hundred years from here calling it the pumping station of the jewish world jerusalem runs through not just our psyche our part of our soul but it is in the veins in the blood of every single jew no matter where they are in the world is jew hundred twenty five thousand jews live in east jerusalem today nobody is moving t

try and failing that it can even go to a third candidate stephanie decker joins us live from west jerusalem so first of all stephanie looking at the picture that submerged expectations are benyamin netanyahu is going to have a fifth term or what sort of fifth term is this shaping up to be in terms of the ever moving shift to the right of israeli politics. it really isn't it looks like it could be and i say could because i think there is still a small margin of possibility that who knows perhaps benny gantz will decide to join. netanyahu government people tell you it's unlikely other people will tell you maybe we've just heard from benny gantz addressing his supporters saying that it's looking bleak but the results are not fine. yet he did say though reading between the lines we will not back down from our public duty to represent over a million people who also for something different but i think yes what you're saying is there's absolutely a shift to the right here when it comes to the political movement when it comes to the narrative throughout this campaign so i mean the left has been use

and i want to do now is take you to the center of west jerusalem. and just show you how the occupation is not a part of the lives and the thoughts of the people here just as the visiting room i'm originally from from my students are you from where so come visit the old homeland. although zionism played a role in that i was able to come here you know unlike travel to be refugees only able to you know i thought the idea of israel wasn't such a bad idea if we could accommodate with the palestinians and i really believe that we could find a way to live together and so on graydon's are able to dismiss that they don't think about it it's the land of israel that's it's in the bible it's unproblematic kids ours we came back you guys. palestinians are intruders you know and you know this whole claim that actually isn't true but the whole claim that there's are a gamut between the israel i see in the hebrews of the bible and jews of today you know is what makes that tie so you know this is our land just go back and look at the bible the and that's where israe

get the palestinian reaction from brahimi but first let's go with the stephanie deca she's in west jerusalem so he may have a fifth term but what kind of term is that going to shape up to be for israeli politics. well it seems that it's going to be more of a shift to the right than we've already seen here before sammy and also i think a big question mark remains about what these corruption charges the indictment hanging over him what kind of results these are going to have i can tell you just been speaking to people here and a lot of people have expressed disappointment in the fact that he seems to be set for a fifth term not because of any issues when it comes to let's say the palestinian issue it's more about the corruption issue and people also saying that ten years plus three that he served as prime minister before is enough that they want to change even though he did have quite a good turnout in jerusalem so i think we're going to have to wait and see will know at least a month from now what this government is going to look like some people saying well perhaps a good idea would be if pr

are saying he's again using race to divide votes is harry false it has more on this now from west jerusalemshe's going to remember. the million become moot four years ago benjamin netanyahu pushed the responsibility to boost in a facebook video on polling day he used the fears of the palestinian israeli vote to mobilize his own core support. apologized for that but in this campaign israel's prime minister has deployed race as an issue unapologetically and much earlier in the piece is most controversial move drawing criticism from moderates at home and jewish organizations in the u.s. has been to engineer a coalition of smaller right. in parties that includes the supremacist jewish power one of whose candidates has been barred from standing for inciting racism against palestinians from all israeli parties incitement to racism against the palestinians in general and the palestinian minority in particular against the leadership of the palestinian minority. clear statements that they are not part of the political the critic game in israel. one of the whom you know whose lines of attack against
