Even in the night his followers hailed him as “king of Israel” and as a “magician”. Benjamin Netanyahu, for the past ten years, the Prime Minister, has done it again, despite the threat of prosecution for fraud, bribery and infidelity, his best result in the parliamentary elections retract: 35 seats will be awarded to his Likud after counting of almost all votes.
the More the right-wing party managed to last only with Ariel Sharon in 2003. Thus, Netanyahu and Challenger Benny Gantz with his Blue-Alliance-and-White-currently on a par. However, everything suggests that only Netanyahu will be able to form a coalition. His Challenger, Ex-chief of General staff Benny Gantz, acknowledged his defeat. He respect the decision of the people, – said the head of the list, Blue-and-White on Wednesday evening.
Preliminary results suggest that Netanyahu and his allies won a majority of around 65 of the 120 Parliament. The Prime Minister could now break soon the record of the longest serving Prime Minister of the country, even Israel’s founder David Ben Gurion.
the road to The victory
Netanyahu fought until the last hard, but above all, relentlessly and with questionable means trusted. So he stirred, as in the case of the election in 2015, the fear of the influence of Arab Israelis. On the day of the election, he warned in a Video in front of an alleged Deal the Blue-and-White with the labour party, the Arab parties in their government.

to order This Deal, it is important to prevent said Netanyahu: “Go out, choose! Does not stay on the beach and not at home, to prevent the emergence of a left-wing government.“
Netanyahu is a talented speaker who sprinkled his messages to the loved ones of the traditional media over social networks. In the past few weeks, he was in Full and warned that the Alliance of Ex-General Gantz is a danger to the security of Israel.

Blue-White “on the left and weak”, he, Netanyahu, by contrast, “right, strong, and successful”. Failed television interviews of Gantz slaughtered Netanyahu’s Team and put the challengers to be unfit and mentally unstable.
a Few days before the election, Netanyahu went with the right slogans to win votes, and announced to start in case of victory with the annexation of the West Bank. He promised to not only settlement and showed the hardness, the estimate of his followers to him.
The coalition question
President Reuven Rivlin has now the task is to instruct a party with the formation of the government – and that has the greatest chance of success. In this case, probably Netanyahu’s Likud. The voice in the night of a “colossal victory” and tweeted: “I’m going to start tonight, so as to form a right-wing government with our natural partners.”
these include the two Orthodox parties, Shas and United Torah Judaism with eight Seats, Yisrael Beitenu, and the Union of right-wing parties, with five Seats, as well as Moshe Kachlons party Youth with a four. Thus, the right-hand Block would be on 65 of the 120 Seats in the Knesset. However, there may be changes. All the votes are counted.

is to be expected with the ultra-right, national-religious Association of right-wing parties, a further shift to the right. Some of the members are followers of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, who wanted to banish the Arabs in the neighbouring States and the radical Kach party was excluded in the 80s from the Parliament. The head of the Association, Rafi Peretz, has already announced plans to claim the education and Ministry of justice for his Alliance.
the secular Avigdor Lieberman from the party “Our house Israel” will try, in the security policy, a tougher approach to. He was resigned as defence Minister because he could not enforce a decisive action against Hamas in Gaza. Yet he does not quite go into the Opposition. A threat – after all, his party for the formation of a coalition is necessary.
The Opposition
Benny Gantz is expected to assume the role of the opposition leader. With 35 Seats, he is just as strong as Netanyahu, but he’s unlikely to succeed to form a coalition. The venerable labor party, once the strongest force in the country and the party of state founder Ben Gurion, fell to only six seats. The left-wing Meretz comes to five seats.
the Ex-army chief Gantz spoke on Wednesday from a historic achievement: “Our voters wanted hope, we gave it to you. They wanted a different way, and we have created this for you. We will not withdraw from our obligation to represent those with more than a Million citizens have been looking for an Alternative.“
A threat of indictment
Regardless of the electoral victory hovers over Netanyahu as the sword of Damocles of a charge. After a consultation, it wants to bring attorney-General Avichai Mandelblitt this year because of corruption before the court.
it is Unclear how Netanyahu’s coalition will deal with it. Recently there were rumors about a new immunity law that could protect the head of government prior to an indictment. Netanyahu himself has always announced, even in the case of a prosecution continue to rule.
The two-state solution
That Netanyahu is likely to continue to have the Say, should take the Palestinians with a large Dose of Resignation to note. Although you long to realize how little the Prime Minister of a contiguous, sovereign Palestinian state.
But now the already-stalled negotiations have moved even further away. The chief negotiator for the Palestinians, Saeb Erekat, summarizes the feeling of helplessness this way: “The Israelis say no to peace and Yes to the occupation.”
For the two-state solution there is, therefore, on the Israeli side, a Partner. And if Donald trump held a “century” deal remains a secret, a turn is anything other than safe. Without the prospect of a state of their own, the Palestinians will agree to any kind of solution to the conflict in the middle East.
time and again, Iran
The Palestinian issue, Netanyahu keeps anyway for a little relevant. The conflict with them is, in his opinion, to manage. More is the Prime Minister of Iran. For years, for Netanyahu and many Israelis – that the Mullahs in Tehran, with its threats of Annihilation against the Jewish state seriously.
