And israelis go to the polls for the 3rd time in less than a year in another neck and neck race Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu hopes to sway voters with a pledge to end its parts of the west bank or for elected. Im aaron tilton thanks for joining us people at a church has officially ended his campaign for the democratic president ial nomination. The former mayor surprised many when he rose to the top tier of candidates come in joint 1st with wyvil Bernie Sanders in the iowa primary who the church is ending his bid after a disappointing performance in South Carolinas primary on saturday his decision comes just before super tuesday when 14 states hold nominating contests that could produce a clear frontrunner. What its meant to day is a moment of truth after a year of going everywhere meeting everyone defying every expectation seeking every vote the truth is that the past has narrowed to a close for our candidacy its not for our cause another of those values is responsibility and we have a responsibility to consider the effect of remaining in this race any further our goal has always been to help unify americans to defeat donald trump and to win the arrow for about. 4 more lets cross to washington carla blanker is standing by carla good to have you with us now but it was a dynamic presence in the campaign so why is he throwing in the towel now but it just hasnt been doing well in polls recently and he also did not fare well in the primaries and if that and South Carolina most recently while he did have a surprisingly successful start in iowa earlier this year he could never really win over a significant amount of black and latino voters now he got out just in time before super tuesday which would have been another big investment not least of all financially and as he said he just did not see a way forward for his candidacy anymore. All right now i want to have a listen to another remark from tension speech that seemed to say a lot lets have a listen now i am more and more convinced that the only way we will defeat trump in trump ism is with a new politics that gathers people together we need leadership to heal a divided nation not drive us further apart we need a broad based agenda that can truly deliver for the American People not one that gets lost in ideology so what do we make of those remarks. Well those could be sort of a hidden dig if you will against says fellow democratic nominee Bernie Sanders sanders of course calls himself a democratic socialist and is known to have elevated more moderate voters on the other hand this could also be a failed show of support for former Vice President joe biden by enough course as one of the big moderates in the race and of but it is said according to journalists who have left by the voice message after after his decision to drop out of the race so you dont know what was said between the 2 it will be interesting to see but it chefs path Going Forward well it certainly will in the be interesting in the run up to super tuesday.

Opinion surveys in israel show Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and his left of center challenger benny gantz running neck in neck ahead of mondays parliamentary election it will be the 3rd election in less than a year 2 polls in 2019 gave neither side enough seats to form a government. Cramer sent us this report from israel. Young student activists campaigning for the right Wing Likud Party on a University Campus in jerusalem they want to see benjamin or Bibi Netanyahu fund the next Coalition Government and end the ongoing political stalemate. Yes to push up your tenure there is a sense that the election is about yes unknown to bibi i would like to see the election dealing more with ideological content and political messages but politics is politics carry over today acquitted because theyre pretty thick out the elections a rerun of Benyamin Netanyahu versus benny gantz and the polls are predicting almost the same outcome as the previous 2 ballots last year theres also some election fatigue in the air in the last few days before the election the threat of the coronavirus has made more headlines in the israeli media than the upcoming vote. The main issue is that we are going without a government for a year now the country is dysfunctioning the knesset the Israeli Parliament is out of order nothing works and obviously people wants to put dispirited behind them and move forward to have a government that will can work for the israeli people to remain Prime Minister netanyahu needs to win big this socalled magician of israeli politics has made one election pledge after another yannick sation of parts of the west bank based on trumps middle east plan a new settlement housing all to cater to this hardline nationalist voter base.

Bad enough minutes there is no real winner here we just need bibi to leave and say thank you very much i was a great Prime Minister i finished my job he can reach an agreement that he will not be judged on what he has done and he can go home. So do i think that the know is the best person or if no but he is the best man for the job right now in 2020 and i voted for in the last 2 stalemate over form again i dont give voting because every vote counts every vote counts but every word counts in this repeat election it remains to be seen whether israel he says see a clear path to a new Coalition Government after the polls.
