courting the initial results netanyahu did not succeed in his mission. was enough and we on the other hand proved that our idea called blue and white a project we established just over 6 months ago is a huge success and here to stay. god said that he would not get to work on building a broad unity government. but speaking to his supporters at likud party headquarters prime minister netanyahu did not concede defeat he said he would also seek potential allies to form a government but one that excluded our parties. in the coming days we will convene negotiations to assemble a strong zionist government answer prevent a dangerous antis zionists cover meant. exit polls show the 2 main parties are neck and neck after 10 years and car benjamin netanyahu and his right wing likud party are battling for political survival. centrist benny gantz has ruled out a partnership with likud if netanyahu remains at the helm of the party. 6 months ago netanyahu failed to form a coalition government faced with losing party called fresh elections despite predictions of fotr fat

i still think netanyahu is a magician but unfortunately for him. there is another israeli magician there is a boom maybe to even manipulate the great magician is name is a big the liberal if you take the 8 seats that the liberal man. has received in this elections and you add them to the alliance of the israeli right plus the drought of dogs and the national orthodox you get a clear majority in it and how it still be able to form a government in addition to that unfortunately also for us israelis. the israeli arabs are not natural partners for any government in israel of course not for a right wing national government headed by newton you know another by guns who is not very likely to add the our party the 12 new members of knesset new and old members of knesset from the united arab party to his coalition so netanyahu having said what you're see just an attorney all made some mistakes and he cried too many times wolf i believe that and actually he cried. one time he cried wolf and out and was about to open a war which was. too transparent even for

the music benjamin netanyahu smiles but more than 5 hours after voting finished it was clear this was no victory even if he was far from ready to admit defeat. to. a government committed to the jewish state and neither will nor can there be a government that relies on. arab parties at the exit polls suggest he doesn't have the numbers to dictate. he may not be given 1st chance to form a government 5 months ago benjamin netanyahu waited several hours before making his speech waiting for the numbers to swing in his favor this time he's waited longer for the numbers appeared to this one in the other direction for 5 months ago he made a victory speech this time it was a speech of defiance it seems clear that his grip on power as we can see it's a beating time at the opposition blue and white headquarters the mood was very different former army chief benny gantz didn't repeat his premise filled victory declaration from april instead his tone was a man ready for a grave responsibility and if he had thought so we need to be patient it wasn't an easy mission as we see now netanyahu did not su

the numbers stack for benjamin netanyahu. it does not seem the prime minister has a rululing majorit. he h has no clear path to winnig a fifth term as these results come in. some allies he hoped to see return to him have not managed electoralhe threshold. it looks incredibly close between his party and benny alliance,ue-and-white when it comes to the numbercrunching, benjamin netanyahu is in a tight spot. there is talk of him joining a national unity government. the only problem is his main rival, benny gantz, has said he will not serve if netanyahu remains prime minister. he will be under pressure to stand down. we know he does not want to do that. if benjamin netanyahu cannot pass some immunity law with his allies in parliament, he is facing charges on three cocorruption trials and could ed up behind bars. liebermanlooks like could be the kingmaker here. israeli politics is about the coalition building. man, the to be a key kingmaker. he said going into the elections he did not want to serve with benjamin netanyahu's religi

basically for instance he's been very much against netanyahu proposal and netanyahu was pushed to grant all orthodox jews a pardon basically to allow them not to serve in the army 1st thing really just as if they if they are all subjects of the orthodox jewish jewish population so he's he's sort of a dark horse and he could be the kingmaker over these whole elections but indeed. the only the only supporters that we've seen cheering after the exit polls war months supported supporters when it comes to the response from netanyahu and from the blue and white party camps it has been moved to do. as you've mentioned to have a listen. but then you know failed for the 2nd time in 3 months you failed to forming a coalition in may failed in getting 61 mandates now we are the largest party and i think it's a good result for israel we are keeping an optimistic mind because last time it was the exact same thing people said that he could have lost then when the real results came in we saw that we received a few mandates and we actually won the elections so very very cautious response and as he can s

mr netanyahu was referring to a unity government and then $98.00. where there was a retention of premiership but many guns in his short answer today in his statement he didn't really address netanyahu directly but what he say it is that if there is such a unity government and it would be under his leadership so that would put basically an end to the idea to have a rotation. and that goes along with what blue and white have said all along during the election campaign that they would not sit with the prime minister who might be indicted for several corruption charges and the indictment hearings for mr netanyahu are in about 2 weeks and that the 2 leaders who are standing in the way i mean for likud and blue and want to form a coalition government together one has to happen. well you know peter number 2 of the right has said it very pleasantly actually you spoke off to any guns today and he said there's only one problem we don't have a problem with it he could but we do have a problem with netanyahu if there wouldn't be netanyahu would pick could be a

stronger it all came after a friend etic final day of campaigning against aping netanyahu is tactics urging supporters off the beach telling him his party was on the verge of defeat and you know who seemed to spend the day in one long emergency broadcast on social media and in person repeatedly warning his right wing base that arabs were voting in great numbers. the leader of the mainly palestinian israeli joint list iman said netanyahu incitement had come at a heavy price causing instead a surge in support it's possible we did see some form of backlash people saying they were going to come to the polls in a row so we are here we come and there and this is what we can do in israeli politics or his office says he's due to have talks soon with benny gantz raising the possibility that he could offer him some kind of support benjamin netanyahu spoke on stage of the difficulties and pressure of this campaign with his 1st and hearing on corruption charges jus in 2 weeks and the prospects of fighting them from the prime minister's office now diminished the pressure looks set to intensify al

he didn't mention netanyahu there. and that can't be good news for netanyahu, who has spent years cultivating his relationship with donald trump. he canceled his trip to the general assembly. he's spoken there every year for the past ten years or so. that's a big deal. this was netanyahu's favorite podium to rail against iran. it would offer a photo op with trump, which is something that he would never miss. and that gives you an idea of the tight spot that netanyahu is in right now. netanyahu made a call for a unity government. that's a move to put pressure on his rival to support him. that doesn't seem likely because benny gantz's campaign was predicated on not sitting with netanyahu. it seems that netanyahu is just trying to blame gantz if this country goes to third election. and that seems like a not remote possibility. >> a long road ahead for orren leiberma leibermann. thank you, sir. >>> the washington monument will we open to visitors after being closed for years for generations. melania trump will attend the r
