YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has won a surprise election victory, putting him on course for a fourth term in office. Netanyahu's Likud Party is poised to control 29 or 30 seats in the 120member Knesset. The Zionist Union opposition placed second with 24 seats. A united list of Arab parties came in third with 13 seats. Netanyahu closed out his campaign with a vow to oppose a Palestinian state, reneging on his nominal endorsement of a twostate solution in 2009. Netanyahu also vowed to expand the illegal West Bank settlements and issued a lastminute plea to supporters denouncing a high turnout of Arab voters. The Zionist Union, Netanyahu's chief rival, also ran on a platform for Israel to keep the major Israeli settlement blocs in the occupied West Bank, the home of any future Palestinian state. Likud says Netanyahu intends to form a new government in the coming weeks. Talks are already underway with a number of rightwing parties. To discuss the election, we are joined by two guestsJamal Zahalka, an Arab member of the Israeli Knesset and chair of Balad party, which is part of the Joint List of Arab parties; and Amira Hass, correspondent for the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz in the occupied Palestinian territories.
