Herzog Everyone Wants to follow on the netanyahu path of despair and disappointment, but whoever wants change, hope, and a real, Better Future for israel can vote for the Zionist Union and give us full power to form a Good Government for israel and change the direction of israel for the better. Molly herzog and his running mate have accused netanyahu of using security scares to distract from social issues. Heres a close look at isaac herzog the 54yearold candidate who wants to the throne netanyahu. Reporter the voices deep and statesmanlike. Isaac herzog has been mocked by his nasal voice and has admitted to taking elocution lessons to try to correct it. He is not afraid to poke fun at himself. He took aim at voters pushed off by his lackluster manner. The candidate head of the Zionist Union, alongside centrist said it is time people take him seriously. Herzog i am the only one who can change the countrys situation. I am deal who can get a mandate from the president to form a government. Reporter he may be lowkey, but the former lawyer says he offers a different kind of leadership, that shifts away from security and toward more social and Economic Issues. While netanyahus campaign breasts on the threat from iran, herzog is over while netanyahus campaign rests on threats from iran, herzog is focused on the economy. Herzog for this, i will make every effort to present our initiative to the arab league and all interested parties. Reporter herzog said he would consider a partial withdrawal from certain occupied territories, but, like his opponents, herzog will not budge on jerusalem indivisib and 100 israeli. Lmaolly many israelis have not made up their mind. Our regional correspondent Gallagher Fenwick reports about the push. Gallagher in the markets in west jerusalem the rivalry between the Rightwing Party and the herzogled Center League camp is a heated argument. [arguing in a foreign language] gallagher the latest polls have the right and a centerleft neck and neck. Voters can swing things either way. Defenders tell us that half of his this vendor tells us that half of his customers have not made up their mind yet. They are sure about who they will vote for, and there are others that say about 50 who are still hesitating. They will make up their minds Tuesday Morning front of the ballot box. Gallagher although many israelis will have the day off to head to the poll, some say they will boycott the vote. The selection talked is not interest me. Genie wh gallagher why . Because they have them too much, it is too often. Gallagher the israeli elections are generally unreliable and this election will probably produce some surprising results. Molly polls closer roughly 10 00 p. M. Local time. We go now to chris moore who is standing by in tel aviv. Chris, how is it where you are . Chris things got underway at 7 00 a. M. Local time. There has been a steady stream of voters here this morning in tel aviv things opening up at 10 00 local time. The press has been speculating about a high turnout. Both sides, both of the main players really entrenching their final hours in the campaign. Comments coming from netanyahu thing as long as i am in charge, there is no palestinian state settlement and East Jerusalem will continue. He is looking to shore up support on the right of israeli politics. On the other side of the equation unseating isaac herzog , who says widen it you tell us in the world a little bit earlier. , but they are going into voting, ironically the first time molly that being said, is it likely that his tactical work, netanyahu . Chris what netanyahu is doing a shoring up support on the right, essentially saying that those on the side of the israeli equation if you vote for the alternative, the center and the less, you will get compromised, you will get west Bank Settlers in East Jerusalem. The problem for netanyahu is a problem throughout the campaign, that these concern a large slice of the israeli electorate. Theyre much more preoccupied by first worlds concerns the cost of living, house prices here in tel aviv, for example ridley a flask and cost as much as it cost in paris renting a flat can cost as much as it does in paris ie. E. , it is expensive. Molly even if netanyahu does lose todays vote, he can still serve as Prime Minister. Chris he certainly can, yes oh stop running israel is all about building coalitions. The magic number is 61, the number you need to get to to form a majority. It has been a matter of weeks for negotiations in terms of forming a coalition, and the president will choose the person he deems most likely as eating able to do so, but even if netanyahus party does come in a few seats behind, they are by no way out of the equation. Most people think that the left led by isaac herzog have a realistic chance of putting together a governing body like that, and that is why netanyahu is concerned. Molly chris reporting from tel aviv, thank you. We will check in with you throughout the day. I am joined in the studio by douglas herbert. Doug we saw chris walking after how the vote is going so far. Netanyahus future is uncertain here. This has become a very antinetanyahu vote, if you will, people coming out not to vote for someone but against the stock. Douglas yes, and some will say netanyahu only has himself to blame if it turns into the campaign on the other side. Why . He is the one who called the voters to the polls. He thought he was in a strong position, did not like the coalition as it was, he had a falling out with two of his ministers, one of them being tzipi livni, and he thought he could recall a new coalition today, come away from these polls even stronger, and instead, what if the facing . He is facing a daunting prospect for the first on the century, the prospect of a labor party leaderisaac herzog, poses a serious challenge to the top post in israel. This is something Benjamin Netanyahu presumably did not foresee when he decided to pull those elections back in december. The words we hear in the Israeli Press are bibi fatigue, so to speak, bibi being the shorthand many use for Benjamin Netanyahu. In israel, which has become more nationalist, which has lurched a lot to be right in many respects, very much yes security conscience, yes, a more religiouslytinted israel in many respects. In that said, there has been the issue sense that Benjamin Netanyahu by playing the Security Card as his trump card and going all out on it with the iran threat and also the fact that palestinian talks have really stalled and going nowhere, but that has led a lot of people to become disenfranchised, even those who sympathize with his clinical views and the social Economic Issues we were just hearing about have really become the main issue of this campaign for many israelis. Molly lets talk a little bit about coalition building. We will have to see how this pans out, but its the typically but specifically to the israeliarabian parties, what does this have . Douglas not an insignificant minority come about 20 of the israeli population. Until now they have been so divided and fragmented they have had no influence for stuff you do have them in the israeli parliament, but because they have not been under a party with a block, they have not had influence. Now you have one who has united them, in essence, they have four parties under one block. They could be powerful, even if they do not want to be members of the coalition. That is all sort of unlikely it could happen, but they could at least wield influence and have a say in israeli politics. That would be something we really have not seen until now in the israeli political scene. Molly we will wait for results to start to trickle in. Holes close at 10 00 p. M. Local time.
