Well the 2 main parties in israel are neck and neck after a 2nd general election in just over 6 months thats according to the exit polls former military chief benny gantz is blue and white party has a wafer thin lead over Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is liquid party but neither of them has claimed victory nor conceded defeat official results serve not yet been announced that they now called a rerun when he failed to form a coalition after a general election in april the channel 12 preliminary exit poll is giving netanyahu slick could 33. 00 seats and dances blue and White Alliance 34. 00 both worlds short of the 61. 00 seats needed for a majority the minority Arab Alliance the joint list is set to come in 3rd with 11 seats and projected to be in 4th place is the man who could play ken king maker or king breaker Avigdor Lieberman heads of the far right use of a new party its predicted to win 8 to 10 seats again says he is open to a possible National Unity government you my friends. An important part in the change. You are the change after you come out. To see you thank you. So. We have to be patient and wait for things to happen. Our correspondent hold up that homemade was at the blue and white Party Headquarters in tel aviv. Certainly a more cautious and tone used by benny gantz this time round he stopped short of calling victory he did say very clearly that one must wait for the final results that should come out. On wednesday but benny gantz and the message really coming out from the other leaders of the blue and white. Joint list is that israelis this time around to have voted against a political victory the politics of division of politics corruption so clearly pointing the finger at his arch rival Benjamin Netanyahu that said even if he if he wins over the likud party. And the task is very complicated he needs to try to form a Coalition Government or maybe he has to he. Lieberman and try to form a National Unity government the 1st step will be to wait for the final result and there will be a meeting with israeli president rivlin who should be tasking benny gantz. Government he could also decide to actually go for the National Unity government rooted in that case he will be probably also Benjamin Netanyahu and thats where the problem could arise simply because benny gantz made it very clear throughout this campaign and the Previous Campaign that he would never be in the same government as Benjamin Netanyahu. Despite failing to come close to the majority mark netanyahu remained defiant. Its better to lose ones voice. Than to lose the country. We have stood together in unity through our relations and we will stand together in all the. Tasks which are in front of us for the sake of the state of israel. Are a force that has more from the Prime Ministers liquid Party Headquarters in tel aviv. Well Benjamin Netanyahu is leaving the stage now having made a speech of defiance a speech way talks about negotiating towards a strong zionist government one which would not be made up he said of arabs he continues his very consistent and in some courses extremely troubling speech that hes been making for several days now about the french listed in a high arab turnout in involvement so how soon is ready for the politicians in the future a government of israel but what he didnt mention was the fact that according to the numbers so far he doesnt have the kind of mandate which would allow him to dictate terms of any doubts leader of the food my party has made it clear that while he too is waiting for the final numbers he feels that israel has voted for a change in his soon as his body is to assume that they will be given the 1st opportunity right to go see a Coalition Government neither side has things done to appear to have fully full proof mandate that you need at least 61 seats in the israeli nashat of 120 seats to guarantee the ability to govern a lot depends now both on the israeli president Reagan Rivlin who he gives out 1st opportunity to hands to the arab joint list parties led by iman or day as to whether they will get some kind of tacit or even more enthusiastic support to potential benny gantz government hands it depends on having to leave in the leader of the israel that any party the man who pulled out of the Coalition Jets at the last minute back in may to stymie this you know is it time to govern will he do so again there are all sorts of open questions as israel answers the next round of this fight to govern itself.
