The Israeli elections’ output very close to the previous result between the two rival parties

As tally began in Israel’s legislative elections on Tuesday, opinion polls showed very similar outcome of the elections which took place five months ago, prompting Netanyahu to run reelections after he failed to win a majority of 61-seat to enable him of establishing the cabinet.
The results of the final polls showed a close convergence between the results of the Likud Party led by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Benny Gantz-led (Blue and White) party , where Netanyahu’s Likud would win some 31 to 34 seats in the Knesset, while the rival party may get 34 seats in the Israeli parliament.
While Netanyahu faces charges of corruption that have brought him to prison unless he wins the next government, professor Yossi Mekelberg, and researcher at the British Chatham House Institute, told North-Press that populist methods and unreasonable and unacceptable Western and U.S. declarations among Netanyahu’s staunchest supporters, which he presented prior to the elections, did not help him in changing the results of the last elections five months ago.
“The Trump administration’s proposed peace plan, even though there is no consensus, has no way towards a possible success after Netanyahu’s proposals that remove any chance for peace and even question Netanyahu’s desire for a genuine peace with the Arabs and the Palestinians”, Mekelberg said.
Yossi Mekelberg sees the resignation of Greenblatt, who is responsible for the peace file and the Kushner plan under the Trump administration, a declaration of a real death for the peace opportunity and the two-state solution which Netanyahu has been destroying any feasibility to achieve it, as Netanyahu wants to deduct 30% of the West Bank areas in opposition to the international agreements and laws accepted by the whole of the international community.
Yossi pointed out that Netanyahu doesn’t want to negotiate, rather, he wants to win politically from unacceptable propositions of which he has no partners at all.
