Will exit polls from israels 2nd general election this year show the Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu in the opposition of the benny gantz neck and neck netanyahu had been hoping to secure a record 5th term in office off to failing to form a Coalition Following the 1st vote in april carney the channel 12 polemically exit polls show that netanyahu with 33 seats and alliance with 34 all the channels are showing them similarly close they need to form a coalition with a 61 seat majority in order to take power. The Israeli Palestinian jointness led by a man a day in 3rd place with a lemon seats and hardline a. With 8 seats making him a potential kingmaker. Well he says that the only option is a unity government is i think Joe Lieberman making these remarks in the past hour and he is calling for a National Unity government between his own and the 2 biggest parties. He shouldnt wait until the official results in an unofficial manner on this coming friday what better than on a friday afternoon Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu should invite the leader of the blue and white bunny guns to tool. We have correspondents at the headquarters of both netanyahu could party and that with the blue and white party of benny gantz and holder is there for us now and so hard to these comments by Avigdor Lieberman he seems to be saying that a grand grand Coalition Government between these 3 parties is the solution to any any sense of as there been any response to this there benny gantz has had forces. We havent heard from benny gantz so far tonight we think he might be coming soon simply because we. Just witnessed some microphone test on the stage behind me where after tell you that the atmosphere has brightened up here theres many more supporters not large numbers but certainly many more and the latest exit polls that were just revealed a few minutes ago actually now put the blue and white party in the lead with 32 seats followed by Benjamin Netanyahu and his likud party at 30 seats now also the projection showed that actually at this stage. Benny gantz would have a coalition of 59. 00 seats that would include a recommendation by the joint lead and whose latest poll now showed that they have 54. 00 from the 11 of the earlier exit polls are certainly theres a bit more optimism where i am standing here. Again as you said earlier avick door believe a man and what direction he will take away this is who he will back or what will happen with him is really at this point according to this latest exist poll at least the king maker is all of this if indeed as its also. Believed that now the joint list which is basically the palestinian israeli list will indeed give its recommendation to the president to go to back over to ask benny gantz to try to form a government as you say hunter it appears that the horse trading in the negotiations behind closed doors are probably already well underway what would benny gantz want to achieve from any coalition what would his priorities be. Well he would have really s. Should have a could a listen that would include than leftist parties thats will have different commend asian as a said the palestinian israelis but they would not be parched that Coalition Day was still remained in the opposition in knesset and then dimba new ad what party now that its as a as you said then as everyone is saying hears these as still early days is a lot of negotiations that will be on go in and those good take several weeks to avars going to be arsed or toss to tried to form add government will have about 40 days she do so and whim sued see a lot of horse trading do during those 40 days all right thank you very much hedda i dont mean that Blue White Party headquarters and herring force it is. In tel aviv and just looking at those comments quoted in the times of israel by unity adelstein a Senior Member of the could saying that the policy is determined to stick by Benjamin Netanyahu and of course if we all going in the direction of a grand coalition between several different parties its not at all clear whether netanyahu would be an acceptable leader for everyone. Well thats right especially given the fact that i believe him and in any such secularist broods Coalition Government that hes been talking about and given the fact that he has potentially doubled his his number of seats for his israel bit a new party inside the knesset for him pulling out of the coalition was very much about netanyahu as much as it was about his secularist ideology versus the ultra orthodox partners on do you know who is for so long relied to have a stable coalition so would he want not just them out of any coalition but also netanyahu out of a coalition he hasnt specifically said that he wouldnt serve with netanyahu in the future but that is very much the expectation of most of the analysts to be sounding out his and analyzing his position during this campaign as well as that of course benny gantz has made his home political effort since he came into politics earlier this year to be the sound alternative the return to a more traditional style of israeli leadership away from what many characterize is the increasingly far right extremist positions that netanyahu is either taken or has allowed to be voiced from within his political camp so. Would either of those men serve with netanyahu if they wouldnt woodley could finally decide that his time was up a lot of people feel would it be too early for that as you heard from a joke for an edge a sign. That that is too early for them to to make that kind of determination the other thing to think about is that if dance is given the 1st opportunity by the president rivlin to try to make a coalition and then fails then potentially would be up to netanyahu to go and nobody wants a 3rd election so would he be given more scope even if you fail in the 1st instance to get the chance to form a coalition could he come up on the rails in the longer term everything is still very much up in the air now and i suppose this is the problem that were expecting the result of this election to be very close but if those exit polls are to be proven correct it is particularly inconclusive her and then there are questions about whether a National Unity government with these 3 parties will survive and whether we will end up where we are now in several months several months down the line if not sooner a 3rd election. Well yes thats something that the president riven rivlin has said he wants to avoid but he wants to see a government formed quickly and one that that harnesses that the will of the people as expressed in this vote so there is given those comments given liebermans comments given the expected sort of propensity as far as doing what is concerned for for some kind of. Potentials of centrist secular administration there is a lot of weight behind that idea but the Sticking Point is very likely to be next in yahoos own position i mean one potential option thats been talked about is some kind of a rotating premiership between benny gantz and netanyahu but with his Corruption Cases in the offing. His 1st. Korean dykeman hearing just next week that complicates matters still further thank you very much harry for sit there look at party headquarters.
