JERUSALEM (The Thursday Times) — Israel ke aam intikhabat mein Mangal ki raat ginti shuru ho gayi, jab record 77.7% voters ne vote daala, aur Arab qiyadat wali Ra’am party ke sarbarah ne kaha ke ab tak ki ginti ke mutabiq "koi hukumat nahin hai", aur bataya ke donon blocs ne un ki himayat talab ki thi.
Pehle ghanton mein sirf abtidai nateeje maujood thay: Channel 12 ke mutabiq maqami waqt ke mutabiq raat 12.18 baje tak 15 polling stations se 2,670 votes aaye thay, jo kisi rujhan ko zahir karne ke liye bohat kam hain. Central Elections Committee se tawaqqo hai ke woh Budh ki shaam tak sarkari nateeje ka elan karegi, jabke aakhri ginti Juma tak mukammal hone ki ummeed hai.
"Koi hukumat nahin hai"
Ra’am (United Arab List) ke sarbarah Mansour Abbas ne Channel 12 ko bataya: "Ab hamare paas jo ginti hai, us ke saath koi hukumat nahin hai." Unhon ne kaha ke unhein ummeed hai ke aakhri ginti se opposition bloc aur un ki jamaat mil kar aksariyat ke liye darkar 61 seats hasil kar sakengi.
Abbas ne kaha ke donon bare blocs ne vote se pehle aur baad mein un ki jamaat se rabta kiya tha. Unhon ne bataya ke exit polls ke baad woh opposition ke numaindon se baat kar chuke thay, aur intikhab se kai din pehle right-wing ke "bohat senior rukn" ne un se rabta kiya tha. Donon khemon ne polling day se pehle khule aam Arab qiyadat wali jamaaton ke saath mil kar chalne ko mustarad kar diya tha. Public broadcaster Kan ke exit poll mein Ra’am ke liye 7 aur Joint List ke liye 11 seats ka andaza lagaya gaya tha.
Netanyahu ab bhi khamosh
Exit polls mein un ke bloc ke aksariyat se door rehne ke do ghante se zyada baad bhi Wazir-e-Azam Benjamin Netanyahu ne abhi tak khule aam baat nahin ki thi. Avigdor Lieberman ne Likud se un ko hatane ki apeel ki, jabke Netanyahu ke ittehadiyon ne opposition ke jashn ko qabl az waqt qarar diya. Gadi Eisenkot ne bhi, jin ki Yashar party ke doosri sab se bari jamaat hone ka andaza hai, abhi tak apne hamayatiyon se khitab nahin kiya tha.
Yeh ginti us polling day ke baad aaya hai jo Netanyahu ke un dawon ke saye mein guzra ke Arab shehri election "chura" lene ki koshish kar rahe thay. Parhein hamari polling-day report, hamara Gadi Eisenkot ka profile aur aage kya hoga.
