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

netanyahu: mr. president, because of this historic recognition, and because i believe your peace plan strikes the right balance where other plans have failed, i've agreed to negotiate peace with the palestinians on the basis of your peace plan. [applause] p.m. netanyahu: it's a great plan for israel. it's a great plan for peace. frankly, mr. president, given all that you've already done for israel, i'm not surprised. you have been the greatest friend that israel has ever had in the white house. [applause] p.m. netanyahu: frankly, though we've had some great outstanding friends in these halls, it's not even close. [applause] p.m. netanyahu: your decisions to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital, to recognize israel's sovereignty over the golan heights, to reaffirm israel's claims in judea andjaw and samaria, to confront -- that's not the word, --eliminate cousin solemani solemani. to support israel in the intelligent fields and military fields, all of this bear testament to the friendship and dept

it will ta ke to for benjamin netanyahu. it will take to the podium there and making what they call a victory speech. anna foster. and we'll have be talking to a journalist in tel aviv a little later for more on this. that is it right there. we expect mr neta nyahu that is it right there. we expect mr netanyahu to make that speech or claim to victory speech at the party headquarters in tel aviv. cheering and singing for the publication of those exit polls. they support their sinking bb king of israel is alive following that publication. i have to stress that this is an exit poll of the moment and we are still waiting to confirm the full result. but this is the immense life. benjamin neta nyahu claiming victory in this third general election injust claiming victory in this third general election in just one year. though the exit polls suggest is right wing block will fall just suggest is right wing block will falljust short of being able to form a coalition government. i spoke to somebody earlier who said there might be a fou

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

so netanyahu they're really talking up the opportunities that this is presenting. yes but i think we're just concentrating there on the last point you made those no mention in all of that of the palestinians no mention of the very heavily trailed and then quietly put aside issue of an expression but as far as the palestinians are concerned and we've seen tweets and messages from from senior palestinians this will be seen as a total abandonment at least by one arab country the u.a.e. of the arab peace initiative which has been the framework under which at least publicly these nations are supposed to operate that they wait for a resolution to the israeli palestinian conflict before they normalize relations in this case the normalization has come 1st with the united arab emirates and netanyahu is talking about more to come and he also made a big play of how much of a personal effort is to dean which i think is something that we've been expecting to hear he has long made out that he is that the one and particular kind of israeli leader who would be able to achieve thes

has white wing likud could win big netanyahu has faced weekly protest against his rule mainly over the handling of the coronavirus analysts say that b.m. could face a strong challenge from gideon starr who left likud to set up his own new hope party. there's been mixed reactions from some israeli people on the snap election. i think the early election is very bad for israel and in general it's a very frustrating situation that we got ourselves into. a political stand still for the past few years is very very bad in general and our leadership is doing what it's supposed to do which is take care of israeli citizens. the situation is very very very sad well naturally a 4th election in less than 2 years is what the economy needs right now isn't what the country needs and what the people need in the middle of the pandemic it's not over yet we have started with the vaccines before the election. isn't good for anybody i think i'm happy. because i was afraid we will never have an election again. we. will take over still we have 3 months. with. the prime minister we don't do any tricks. let's b

3rd time in less than a year while they break the political deadlock between prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his main challenger many gods or at least another stalemate. mark thank you so much for your company everyone a border battle and a humanitarian crisis all along the european union's eastern border have intensified thousands of migrants are trying to make their way from turkey into greece since the turkish government opened its borders to the e.u. for greece is pushing back athens is suspending asylum applications for one month. saying it will turn back anyone who enters the country illegally this footage that you see right here released by the turkish authorities shows greek coast guard blocking a boat filled with like ruins. and earlier we spoke to our correspondents yulia han in istanbul as she told us what she made of that footage that you just saw a word of caution here because this footage is coming from the turkish authorities and they clearly have a political interest right now sharing such videos but then again greek border guards the coast guard they clearly have orders

well if netanyahu is found guilty time you know what what could the sentence actually be. both 1st of all prime minister netanyahu one arriving at the court he has again denied all allegations he said. this is a witchhunt against him and his family has maintained that during all the time of investigation now the most serious cases considered to be the case of $4000.00 where it's charged with rivalry that could lead to a charge of more than the sentence to more than up to 10 years in the most serious case but of course it was just at the very beginning i talked to no experts here and they said this could take a very very long time until the verdict is good tania briefly in what way could this actually interfere with prime minister netanyahu is work. what i took to look spends about this and this is of course he will do this work as usual but he will be very much be occupied with the proceedings in court because they will go on from now on and of course this is what his opponents have said he shouldn't be a prime minister going to court in the morning and then. governing in

netanyahu i think the take from the palestinians will be. talks about a 2 state solution although he says said students have the right to a contingent state but he also said been conditions are right so the take it is rather that at the moment at least it gives israel boarded once now and prime minister netanyahu claims that this book pose a lousy israel to basically applies serenity over territory. west east and border and parts of. the occupied west bank but prime minister netanyahu refers to this today and some area so so that president trump says that palestinians do have the right to state when conditions are right but he doesn't say when those conditions are right we also don't know you know what state how to look like old though there was talk of a map but to be haven't yet seen the map yeah exactly we have to see the details trump called this his vision for peace we have to mention that that that is how he is classifying it it's clearly being welcomed with open arms from the israeli prime minister who called donald trump the greatest

to decide who is going to be there this prosecutor will talk is actually what netanyahu wanted and i think under this was what too many demands for barely guns this 'd is what leads us to the force elections in 2 years we'll talk later about some aspects of the political saga in israel but for the time being yossi when you look at the 1st layer of the whole story it's a disagreement about the budget that triggered the collapse of the of the of the of the unity government is it only about the budget or there's a 2nd layer to this story. they touch the touch of your photo shoot it is is that just your it's not it's not due isn't for that i think there is only a political system entering into a very dangerous decline defect that really convening in for the 4th election in 4 years there is you're almost anything that you need to know everything about the neck of functioning of these are literally the fanciest and the constant flow of hopefuls politician from one party to another of the speeds the reliances only today may not the party it's really it's an no and someone with from the init

what he under which he would sit with netanyahu. what he did say, and reminded the people, was that the indictment trial is in two weeks. so it seems like perhaps going out on a limb here, assuming that benjamin netanyahu assuming that benjamin neta nyahu would you assuming that benjamin netanyahu would you willing to stand trial, then in fact maybe there is a chance that a government could be pulled together. there are so many ifs and buts, and with a trialjust weeks away, handing over benjamin netanyahu, again, that just increases the feeling of instability, doesn‘t it, within the politics of israel? —— hanging over. absolutely. if the prime minister were to, you know, if he were a sitting prime minister and he were to continue into this indictment, and then he had the power to somehow look into the attorney general, or perhaps change the law altogether, change the immunity law, that would throw this country into constitutional crisis. so then what do you think might happen if that were to be the case?” mean, the spiral po

netanyahu may yet come out slightly ahead but with no hope for a clear majority his conservative party is bracing for more coalition talks and perhaps more deadlock the consequence was less around 3 for israel's elections let's get you the latest time yet cramer did a correspondent is standing by in jerusalem tiny a wonderful to see what are the chances that this election right now will break israel's a political deadlock. well i think it's going to be a very interesting election evening because up until election day today all the polls have shown a neck and neck race in the last states a slight advantage for benyamin netanyahu but also a neck and neck race between the 2 blocs because he is or you look mainly the religious right wing blogs that by the likud party in benjamin netanyahu and the. center left bloc led by many guns and this blue and white alliance this is what we will be looking at both have been complaining in the past weeks and months but it has been a very fatigued come pain but i have to say voter turnout got some think is during the day slightly higher than in septembe

did mr netanyahu blink in the face of international condemnation? ambassador danny danon in new york, welcome to hardtalk. thank you very much for having me. it's a pleasure to have you on the show, ambassador. let's begin with what appears to be a real sense of confusion at the top of your government in israel. the world was expecting a formal declaration from the netanyahu government of annexation of territory in the occupied west bank. they were expecting it days ago, and it never happened — why? i'm sure we will discuss it a little bit more. i don't call it annexation, i call it applying sovereignty overjudea and samaria, not occupied west bank. but we will get to that in a minute. regarding your question, if you read the agreement between our coalition parties, they agreed that the discussion will begin in the 1st ofjuly. so actually, now we are starting the month ofjuly, and the government can start to discuss it. so there was no decision made to announce anything on the 1st ofjuly. the only thing in the agreement was that any discussions wi

while netanyahu israeli public at the moment. while neta nyahu is entitled israeli public at the moment. while netanyahu is entitled to bring an immunity request before the parliament, it needs to satisfy certain criteria, which include discrimination, bad faith, or his inability to carry out the duties of the parliament and it does not seem that his personal political scandals will necessarily meet those criteria. you have just returned from tel aviv, i wonder what people are saying about prime minister netanyahu, are saying about prime minister neta nyahu, about the are saying about prime minister netanyahu, about the man himself?” think there are two sides of that coin. the first is those are extraordinarily frustrated that israel has been without a government for nearly a calendar year and a place the blame at the feet of netanyahu place the blame at the feet of neta nyahu who has place the blame at the feet of netanyahu who has been able to —— unable to form a coalition. he certainly has his loyalists who are proud of

administration key to how netanyahu moves forward now unfortunately this american administration. and south. who are crime. a workaround that includes an exception of griped it is in violation of a very international law and a war crime in the sense that israel is practically and strategically by building a league of settlements by any means of the is there killing very much. of this statehood and has created or previous as the more part by force the more. so are they actually it is not about tactic or that it will happen on the 1st live or don't live. there usually it is about israel is that it has to be stopped and has to be changed a strategy that is in means that liquidating post your rights and at creating a system get of bumpus which already exist before. them in the 1st bank and graham who does the you already mentioned a partner who will you mention 250 illegal settlements and 650 military checkpoints the whole system must be changed and we will never stop struggling for our freedom in this occupation is go over and build this system and the issue of mission is finished si

some breaking news coming out of israel where the prime minister binyamin netanyahu and his main rival benny gantz have agreed to form an emergency unity government it ends a year of political deadlock with 3 inconclusive elections under the deal the leaders will rotate the premiership with netanyahu serving as prime minister 1st gantz walls as deputy. force it joins us now live from west jerusalem so harry take us through some more of the details concerning those thorny issues that help things up for so long how they've been resolved. yes well we don't have the the full running list just yet of exactly what has been agreed to but leaks are making their way into the israeli media and it does seem that benjamin netanyahu will be pretty happy with the result of course number one he stays in office for the 1st 18 months under this deal he will be able to fight off his corruption charges or at least try to fight them off from the prime minister's office rather than as just a normal citizen of israel on the key issue for him of the judicial appointments committee that had been a real stumbl
