Ifill israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu beat back a centerleft challenge last night, scoring an unexpectedly strong reelection victory that threw future prospects for israelipalestinian peace talks into doubt. Special correspondent Martin Seemungal is in israel and reports on the mixed reaction to the news in the region and beyond. Reporter after his surprising, clearcut victory, netanyahu took time for an afternoon prayer at judaisms holiest site, the western wall, in jerusalem. translated i will do everything i can to care for the security and welfare of all israelis. Reporter the man now set to serve a record fourth term as Prime Minister sought to strike an inclusive tone, after what had been a divisive race. According to Jerusalem Post reporter gill hoffman, netanyahu ran a panicking campaign. He tried to make israelis feel that they are in trouble, and that they need him. Reporter initial exit polls showed they needed both netanyahu and his top challenger, isaac herzog. They were in a deadheat. But through the night, as the actual counting began, Netanyahus Likud bloc racked up more seats. Too close to call became a rout, leaving israelis deeply divided. I can say is all of my facebook is full of pretty sad pretty sad comments; they cant well, i voted for the likud so i went to bed quite happy but i woke, i was partying when i saw the results. Reporter netanyahu is almost reporter the main challenger, isaac herzog, of the centerleft Zionist Union party, said today he will sit in opposition and not join a government of national unity. translated i would like to make it clear to the israeli people, the challenges are the same challenges, the problems are the same problems, nothing has changed. Reporter among palestinians the same words nothing has changed but with far different meaning. There is no difference translated settlements buildings and expansions, they will do whats good for them and not for us. Reporter the palestinians would like to see East Jerusalem as the capital of a palestinian state, but in the last day of the campaign, Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear there will be no palestinian state if he is reelected. That insistence led to grim predictions palestinian legislator Mustafa Barghouti israel must be treated as the apartheid system was treated in south africa at one point in time. Reporter and this, from analyst Mohammed Darawshe a palestinian citizen of israel if they go on a collision track, it probably means thousands and thousands of more palestinian casualties in the streets. And theyre going to continue their struggle to have a state. Reporter still, gill hoffman thinks netanyahu does have room for maneuver, even now. If the situation arises that would enable there to be Movement Forward on the palestinian front, netanyahu will move forward. Reporter the u. S. Response to netanyahus victory election has been cool so far. State Department Spokeswoman jen psaki said today his words over the last days had not gone unnoticed. Based on the Prime Ministers comments, the United States is in a position Going Forward where we will be evaluating our approach with regard to how best to achieve a twostate solution. Reporter last year, the president himself told an interviewer [t]he window is closing for a peace deal that both. Can accept. What we know is that it gets harder by the day. What we also know is that israel has become more isolated internationally. And for now at least, the Election Results have left the fractious relations between mr. Obama and netanyahu, no closer to warming. Ifill and martin joins me now from tel aviv. We spoke about this time yesterday, there were early exit polls that suggested that netanyahu might pull this out but not by this much of a margin. So what is the mood today among his supporters and the people who wanted to defeat him . Well a very mixed mood. A real reflection of the division in this country. On the one hand you have likud supporters euphoric a great deal of relief. Because you have to remember that going into the election the days before all the polls were saying that i will coup was not going to do likud was to the going to do that well. It was going to poll at least two to three seats behind Isaac Herzogs center left coalition. And as a result, there was a great deal of fear among likud supporters that they actually werent going to make it. So when that final result came out this morning they were they were stunned. They were extremely u nor euphoric that this had happened. On the other hand you have the Zionist Coalition the center, center left people who were to use the words that we heard on the street today shocked devastated. They thought they had a real shot at it this time because of perception that netanyahus popularity was dropping was plummeting and that, in fact most israelis wanted to see that changed. And when you talk about coalitions, that is part of the conversation that is still under way at this point. How much or has it even begun the Coalition Building that has to happen for this government to start working again . Well, there is a lot of conversations going on but nothing has really started practically. Where were at right now is netanyahu has said that he will form a coalition or try to put one together in the next two to three weeks. The way it works is all the Party Leaders get together. They recommend somebody to the president who will be the person they would like to see to be Prime Minister. Now we know that isaac herzog said hes not going to serve in a netanyahu unity government. He says reserve in opposition so it looks like if netanyahu is going to put this coalition together which everyone expects its going to be the Jewish Home Party on the right. Also some of the religious parties. And of course morei the former minister in netanyahus party who left two years ago formed his own party got ten seats and is now the fourth Largest Party or fifth Largest Party in the polls. So he has asked for the Justice Ministry many people saw him as a kingmaker, if it was going to be a close race. Now that its clear netanyahu is going to be the one forming the government. Everyone expressed that morei will be the finance minister in a netanyahu government. Martin seemungel for us tonight in tel aviv, thank you very much. Ifill for more on what netanyahu remaining in power means for israel, prospects for a palestinian state, and the americanisraeli relationship, im joined by former israeli ambassador to the United States itamar rabinovich. Shibley telhami, the anwar sadat professor of peace and development at the university of maryland and author of the book the world through arab eyes. And robert satloff, executive director of the Washington Institute for near east policy. And back to the rabinovich, i want to get your sense your reaction to what happened yesterday and why . What happened was that despite talk about socioeconomic issues happening among the young middle class the dom National Issue remains security israelis are worried. They look at iran they look at gaza they look at hezbollah in lebanon they look at the collapsing states around us and mr. Netanyahu did a much better job than mr. Herzog in portraying himself as the leader who can look after the security of the state and of the individual citizens in the state. He did also outflank the right wing party. If you look at the breakup of the vote, there was not so much a shift from the left to the right but a shift inside the right wing camp. And so they were successful in mr. Bennett and mr. Lieberman and his own likud party. And of course hes a con sum at complaining. Er and did a very good job in coming up from a low position to the victory of last night. Ifill bob satloff did he just outcampaign his opposition . And what does that mean if he did . Well, Prime Minister netanyahu is an extraordinary politician this is not the first time that israelis went to bed thinking someone else won and waking up and bebe was the winner. He knows how to pull the strings especially among the center right and the right. This time his main target were not undecideds. His main target were people further to the right than he is, to pull them into his likud party. He did it in the last couple of days. Actually both main camps panicked. He panicked with his last minute declaration about no palestinian state. And the center left panicked by essentially dropping the running mate of their number one candidate that she would not be the candidate for Prime Minister. His gambit worked better. And he got more votes for his old party to make him not just able to put together a coalition but dwarfing all other parties. Ifill let me ask Shibley Telhami about that. Whether that was designed he not only talked about there would be no twostate solution if he were reelected, but he also tweeted that there were a lot of arabs going to the polls. And they tried to stir his base up. Was that by design . Well, whether it was by design or not it clarely whether he really panicked or not he used it for sure. No question that he used the numbers to his advantage. When there was a report just on thursday and friday that he is behind on the polls that he could actually you know that even the israeli public started saying its not inevitable that bebe is going to be Prime Minister. He used that. Whether he believed it or not, he used it very effectively. I must say i dont think it was about issues not even security issues. I think clearly his focus on security was deliberate to take away from associations. I think this was about identity politics. He went for communal identity for issues that are important to core identities of his constituents. He played on them. He wanted to raise the level of participation in the elections. 80 of the settlers participated in their elections. So he clearly used the arab issue you know what the New York Times called racist rants to scare people of the empowered arabisraeli citizens who were voting. Clearly on the palestinian issue he went again with an identity question on jerusalem. So i think it was really mobilizing the right. He did that. He did successfully but at very high cost because its going to cost him in governing and in foreign policy. Ifill ambassador rabinovich s that true is that who the israeli voters are spending time getting inside netanyahu head but also getting inside the heads of the voters and what they actually require. This is divided between right and left secular and orthodox jew and arab
