Herzog is their guy. if they dont think that president obama is anything other than an appeaser, they better vote for netanyahu. >> netanyahu has gotten increasingly strong in his rhetoric in the past couple of days. apparently understanding that he might lose this thing. and hes taken some positions that have made some big headlines. like hes now said hes against a two-state solution. that there will not be a palestinian state. which is a reversal of a big speech he gave back in 2009. and hes s...

Sand. >> reporter: so if you are prime minister a palestinian state will not be formed? >> translator: indeed. >> earlier, cnn spoke to the communications adviser for herzog. >> israelis are not going to be bamboozled this time. of course we have a different policy fully support the two-state solution and will take steps in that direction. herzog has said himself that he would go to ramallah and find out if there is a palestinian partner on the other side. but this is about netanyahus failure on...

Two-state solution with israelis and palestinians living side by side in peace and security. that is what my boss secretary kerry, and president obama are committed to. people say a lot of things during campaigns. what were focused on is the israelis moving forward and forming a government. we will work with whoever is prime minister and work to make progress. >> i want you to standby. the secretary of state is holding negotiations with iranianss. we will talk about where this is moving right no...

Some outer israel saying basically there is a global conspiracy as he put it against him, in the final days. >> thats really remarkable rhetoric. he is saying there is this international conspiracy to get him. again, this theory involved the mobilization of israeli arabs to come to the polls. it is not exactly clear what he is referring to. but to the extent that i understand it and this line has been promoted in media outlets over there and here there is a voter turnout organization that suppor...

If things force him to reembrace the speech of the two-state solution hell have for example a national unity government, which could happen. he will find a way to wiggle out of the formula. many who believed in his 2009 speech, this comes as a confirmation. we told you all the time that he wasnt serious. now hes saying it by himself. it hurts him on the international stage, and we have to wait till tomorrow to see whether it hurts or helps him on the israeli stage. >> and voting will start in a ...

Strong relationship with israel no matter who ends up governing in that country, thats something thats been put at risk to the degree that the republican party has become associated with -- it was more of a case it doesnt matter who is running the country. >> because the rep between netanyahu and president obama is its strained because of the speech before congress. you went to that speech although you werent happy that he delivered that speech which basically said what the president is trying t...

Including the prime minister expected. and he seems to be making a last ditch appeal to right-wing voters. it could also have far-reaching consequences. for more malcolm honeline joins us from new york. malcolm, lets talk the politics for a moment. most israelis, most palestinians for that matter seem to have lost faith in a two-state solution. and those who support it were never going to vote for netanyahu anyway. is this last-minute move might this get bibi over the line? >> i dont know how ma...

More reluctant to do that? >> particularly if they do with a two-state solution. well have a very big divide on that important policy. >> first of all, hes not re-elected yet. its going to take several days if not several weeks, before theres a determination who is going to be the next prime minister of israel. this exclusive poll shows 68% of the people support using direct diplomacy to try to prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons. 29% oppose. theres a decisive majority that likes the id...

Excited but its way too soon to declare a victory. >> reporter: way too soon to declare a victory in terms of whether prime minister netanyahu will be able to form a coalition, but this is a bit of a victory for prime minister netanyahu. as you know just a few day ace go four seats behind in the polls. in the last 48 hours a media blitz to energize the right wing base. these were controversial positions that he had been talking about, reversing his commitment long-standing commitment to a two-st...
