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

can benjamin netanyahu finally form a government the israeli prime minister's bloc celebrates victory following 3 elections in less than a year but one 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 me

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

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

we has been pretty hard in the gleaning certainly hard in the predicting benjamin netanyahu has been prime minister throughout this incredible phase of israeli politics over the last year where he's been trying to cling on to power despite 3 now inconclusive elections the fact that he's facing a court trial in may on 3 separate corruption cases and now he's been given this huge advantage by the man who's been trying for so long to replace him saying that he's poison to israeli democracy that the country cannot be led by an indicted prime minister that has been the brand of benny gantz throughout his short political career and now he's decided to step aside from all of that he says it's because he wants to save israeli democracy that he's acting as a statesman that it's not time for splits because of the national emergency over coronavirus but just yesterday he and his opposition were arguing with benjamin netanyahu as likud over the fact that the speaker had refused to step down had refused to allow for a vote to be replaced by an opposition speaker who could then. engineer a situati

you see it's a very good question peter because what happens right now is netanyahu who was 'd the solution of the likud and people would even say for israeli interests or teach interest his becoming a problem is a he if he or you remove him from the equation it will take 24 hours even less to form a unity government which is a rotation or was out to a tension between gantz and the successor of an attorney or anyone that the likud will pick up and offer guns for partnership but right now actually netanyahu is not willing to do this because that means that nothing can stop him from going to prison. for him the option of force election is ideal because as long as he is prime minister a provisional prime minister this can go on forever and they will not remove him because you cannot remove a provisional prime minister from office so it looks like you know a fantasy but it becomes everything that looks like fantasy is becoming a reality and don't forget that this can happen because the israelis are busy only was street issues today khurana corona corona and they would like to see a government a

right so does that mean that we we could see the netanyahu and dance possibly joining forces. well that is what the president wants is what benjamin netanyahu myself has said that he wants although of course under his leadership his proposal is that either he leads a joint unity emergency government for 6 months until the groan a virus is presumably defeated and then they go reset back to 0 and allow the politics to continue or that they deal on a 4 year unity government he goes 1st for 2 years benny gantz would go 2nd but that would really presuppose that he's the man in pole position and after what's happened today benny gantz would feel that he's in bold positions so they would still appear to remain divided over who should lead any such government and began to these 1000 opportunity now to try to form a minority government something he is likely to explore in the coming days all right thank you from leicester salaam herefore set some news from syria now russia and turkey are holding joint military patrols in the country to monitor a cease fire in the stronghold of troops f

a year of political stalemate and to help tackle the coronavirus pandemic neither ganz nor benjamin netanyahu have managed to form a government after 3 elections in the past 12 months harry forsett joins me now from west jerusalem via skype harry you might say that benny gantz has managed to take one box and jump one hurdle but there are still many more obstacles in his way . yes i mean this this whole year long grinding political crisis has been one of those televised jobs could obstacle challenges with all sorts of traps and places to fall off and i'm sure they'll be more still to come benny gantz does have as you say the 61 recommendations that means he has more than netanyahu has 58 if you get 61 votes in the israeli parliament the knesset which is being sworn in later on monday at some point over the next $28.00 days which is how long he has to try to form a government then he could form a government even if it were a minority one which is one option with his own party the blue and white plus a door lieberman's israel bit tenue party a right wing party and the labor meretz alliance that

edelstein and his likud party the party led by benjamin netanyahu because adelstein had failed to allow for a vote which would have allowed the opposition to put its own person as speaker and start legislating in a way which may well have harmed benjamin netanyahu is grip on power and of course benny gantz has throughout his just over a year long political career made his brand almost entirely about removing from office replacing with a stable figure himself prime minister that he's called corrupt poison to democracy and has said that cannot serve while indicted well all of that now looks to have evaporated because benny gantz appears ready to serve in a unity government an emergency government to tackle the coronavirus epidemic with benjamin netanyahu continuing as prime minister the reports suggest that gantz may well get a very senior job in the government foreign minister or defense minister that netanyahu may well make way or promise to admit to make way in 18 months time we have yet to see any of those details emerge will be concrete there are also reports that it might just be a

but to paraphrase donald trump i think for netanyahu there is some 2025 percent of the population more or less will would support him even if you go down this ingold avenue in tel aviv and shoots an israeli lady you know right in the whatever basically there are some israelis that were support netanyahu no matter what they know all too well that he is corrupt they're not all to where the judiciary system in israel is very strict and he would have been indicted on 3 charges if you wasn't really corrupt there wouldn't have been so much small if there wasn't some spark or fire and yet they would vote of her him why because 2 reasons one is already diligent them ised much of the judiciary in israel and much of the media hence whatever his supporters hear from the judges or from the journalists they discounted as untie. netanyahu propaganda if you will and the other reason is that he saw himself as the season fission that he's been there he's served already 3 for. 10 years if you will and that he is far more experienced and tried than the alternative the general many gifts so if we're headi

michel barak mitchell where are we in the political horse race at the moment any prospect that netanyahu might get over the line this time well there's a saying in a row we've been in this movie before and we've actually been in this movie twice before in a year so you know it's not clear what is interesting about this election as opposed to last 2 is right before the election netanyahu looks like he's leading which may not be the best place for him he likes to scare people that he's going to lose he's losing the election if they don't get out and vote now they have a different tactic because they seem to be leading in the polls that they have some momentum going and now they're fighting for people that either will stay home because they think his victory is assured or they'll vote for one of the smaller parties in the block because they believe he's he's going to be the prime minister he has the best chance anyway his his main rival benny gantz as well as being marginally behind in the last few days has suffered a bit of a blow to in the last couple of days extraordinary seeming dirty t

couple of things firstly he made it pretty clear that he was giving an implied rejection of benjamin netanyahu is comments after the election in which he said that he was leading 58 to 47 in terms of so-called zionist votes is a pretty clear distinction is doing between palestinian israelis and everybody else the president this morning quoted in arabic saying about patience being from god and haste from the devil and saying that there are no hot citizens of israel simply create he was rejecting that kind of language from the israeli prime minister he also said again that he favored a unity government saying the 2 big sides blue and white alliance led by benny gantz and he could not by benjamin netanyahu coming together to form some kind of a central to the right block that could govern the country and of boyd a 4th election but the problem is that as he said not much has changed between the end of the 2nd election and now the beginning of this period after the 3rd election it couldn't be arranged last time because the rejection on the blue and white side and others that there would be any chan
