if netanyahu things at the moment? if neta nyahu can form things at the moment? if netanyahu 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

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

>> reporter: early exit polls show that netanyahu's party has a good showing, and they put netanyahu's lead over his rival, the blue and white party at somewhere between three and five seats and already based on the lead, they are claiming victory. they put out a statement saying netanyahu spoke this evening with all the parties of the national block and they agreed to form a strong national government for israel soon. there's a problem here, netanyahu's goal from the beginning was to win 61 seats in israel's parliament, and the majority of the 120, but all three exit polls suggests that netanyahu has fallen short and he has a 60-seat block of the religious right wing parties, and meaning at least at this point based on the exit polls, which of course can change, netanyahu does not have what appears to be a straightforward path of putting together a 61-seat coalition, what he needs. and we could hear if those polls shifted, and it will be a long night of vote counting but perhaps you can hear it's already a celebration hear with the head to head lead with netanyahu's party, and the blu

netanyahu, he says, is trying to lie and cheat his way to victory. the prime minister is claiming credit for donald trump's so—called deal of century — an attempt to end the conflict on israel's terms. it allows israel, in defiance of international law, to annex settlements on land palestinians want for a state. this is shilo, where they're building a new school. the settlers want two election victories this year — binyamin netanyahu and trump. it is very important for us, both elections, and we are engaged in all sorts of personalities and organisations and groups to assure both here and there that as much as possible, we get the people in office that we want. nearby, palestinians were on a hilltop they believe settlers might grab. the old issues don't go away. and, as ever, it's come down to control of the land — that's always been at the centre of the conflict, a century ago and today. by morning, israeli forces were driving palestinians off the hill. the last real chance of a negotiated peace was collapsing when these young men were babie

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

the initial exit polls do put the country's prime minister benjamin netanyahu with some 5 parliamentary seats ahead of his main rival the former army chief benny guns now this is certainly good news for the likud camp but it does mean that they still one seat short of a parliamentary majority so of course we're going to see a lot of bickering in coalition making happening in the coming days there was a lot of concern that the voter turnout would be low this was a surprise it was the highest it's been in the past 21 years and this is despite the fact that there are at least 5 and a half 1000 people who are quarantined here in israel with a coronavirus there were concerns that people will turn out to vote because of that those people voted at 16 special stations set aside especially for them and then the concern around voter fatigue that these are the 3rd elections in the space of 11 months and when i was speaking to people throughout the course of the day many did say that they felt disillusioned many of them said they felt disgusted and this was a word that was echoed by the country's p

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

so making deals with smaller parties is essential for me government netanyahu has other problems indicted in 3 separate corruption cases court cases his rivals say make him unfit to be prime minister there was true islam and across as there is a fair that this election will be inconclusive and israel will head to the polls for a full 3rd spoil a many are now asking the question whether it needs to be political electoral reform there's no doubt that when a political crisis a political deadlock something that is unprecedented and that our electoral system needs a significant reform in order to ensure that our election system campaigns have a decisive outcome the israelis have had a caretaker government since april and voters hope that this election proves to be decisive. all right let's go live now to enron in west jerusalem and a man as you've pointed out time in less than a yeah all the polls predicting that they'll be any different to the result well there's so much math going on there's so much coalition building that has to happen for any one party in the only really 2 parties if that
