JERUSALEM (The Thursday Times) — Benjamin Netanyahu ne Budh ko subah sawere naara lagate hue hamayatiyon se kaha ke Likud Israel ki sab se barhi jamaat hai aur dayen bazu ke bloc ne "faisla kun aksariyat" hasil kar li hai, jabke updated exit polls wazir-e-azam ki taraf wapas jhuk gaye aur un ke camp ko Gadi Eisenkot ki opposition se kam farq se aage kar diya.
"Hum ne yeh dekha hai ke Likud jamaat sab se barhi jamaat hai – koi hamara muqabla nahin kar sakta," Netanyahu ne Likud ke headquarters mein kaha, Al Jazeera ke mutabiq. "Doosri baat jo wazeh hai woh yeh ke dayen bazu ke bloc ko aksariyat hasil hai. Aur yeh faisla kun aksariyat hai." Unhon ne "qaumi dayen bazu ki hukumat" ka mutalba kiya aur Israeli television channels par ilzam lagaya ke woh opposition ke liye zyada mazboot nateeje dikha kar un ke hamayatiyon ko gharon par rokne ki koshish kar rahe hain.
Unhon ne Arab jamaaton ka sahara lene wali kisi bhi hukumat ko mustarad kar diya aur aise ittehad ko "sharmnak" qarar diya, aur yeh dawa bhi kiya ke un ki hukumat ke hamlon ke baad Iran "pehle se kahin zyada kamzor" hai aur Israel "pehle se kahin zyada mazboot".
Ginti ki surat-e-haal
Channel 12 ki updated projection mein Netanyahu ke bloc ko Knesset ki 120 seats mein se 52 aur Eisenkot ki qiyadat wali opposition ko 49 seats di gayin, jabke Arab qiyadat wali jamaaton ko 19. Channel 13 ne pehle donon blocs ko 51 par barabar dikhaya tha. Donon networks ne Likud ko 27 seats par rakha, jo Eisenkot ki Yashar ke 21 se kafi aage hai. Koi bhi bloc hukumat banane ke liye darkar 61 ke qareeb nahin hai, aur yeh ab bhi exit polls hain; ibtidai sarkari nateeje Budh ko baad mein aane ki tawaqqa hai.
Chand ghante pehle Eisenkot ne apne hamayatiyon se kaha tha ke "purana daur khatm ho gaya" aur ke Israeli awam ne tabdeeli ke liye vote diya hai. Democrats ke rehnuma Yair Golan ne kaha ke voters ne "Netanyahu hukumat ko barkhast kar diya", jabke intehai dayen bazu ke wuzara Bezalel Smotrich aur Itamar Ben-Gvir donon ne apni jamaaton ki karkardagi par jashn manaya, aur Smotrich ne maqbooza West Bank mein settlements ko phailate rehne ka azm kiya.
Aage kya hoga
Voter turnout 77.7% raha, jo 1999 ke baad sab se zyada hai. Ginti mukammal hone ke baad Sadr Isaac Herzog siyasi jamaton ke rehnumaon se mashwara karenge aur us ummeedwar ko hukumat banane ki zimmedari saunpenge, jis ke paas hukumat banane ka sab se behtar mauqa ho. Agar koi ittehadi hukumat samne na aaye, toh Netanyahu nigran wazir-e-azam ke taur par apne mansab par rahenge. Aage kya hoga, is ke bare mein hamari explainer parhein.
