Israel(NIE) campaign of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a lackluster election got only in top gear one hour before polling stations closed.People with grim reports flowing into the headquarters of his Likud party, it was clear that Netanyahu risked being exceeded by the newcomer center, setting up the possibility of the biggest electoral surprise in Israeli history.
"Go and vote. Likud government in danger," wrote on his Facebook page Netanyahu. If it looked as if he was in a state of panic, and it was.Since it entered into an agreement with the rear electoral ultra-nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu party in October trusted Netanyahu in a series of opinion polls predicted he would win easily a third term in power in elections Jan. 22.Ensure a joint ticket he eventually head of the largest single bloc, and put him in the first place to lead the next coalition.Anxiety and his ministers appeared to be sliding votes to his rivals on the far right, which has become an obsession in the final days of the election campaign that he forgot to check other in the mirror and see the storm center even abroad."He's making every possible mistake in the campaign," said Gideon Rahat, a political science professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. "It seems that he will be the next prime minister, but his party may pay a price."
CLOSE CALL
In the end, the arrest of the Likud and the house of 31 seats in the Knesset's 120, which is just enough to prevent the creation of center-left majority block but still 11 seats, down from the number won by the two parties in the 2009 legislative elections.By contrast, it took political newcomer Joshua Atid (there in the future), led by former TV host Yair Lapid, 19 seats, making it the second biggest surprise party in the next parliament.In what could become a fixed image of the elections, gave Netanyahu and Lapid, each in his campaign headquarters, and victory speeches at one time - appear side by side on split screens as equal players in the political arena.Did not even Israel Hayom, free newspaper that is seen as a mouthpiece for the Netanyahu government, and does not try to hide the pain. "Surprise Lapid, the Likud and disappointment," said he.
With the benefit of hindsight, and the writing was on the wall long before the shock of the day of the vote, when the device is well-oiled Likud electoral failure to generate the same kind of excitement among voters perceived supporters blocs.Failed campaign rallies attract large crowds. Party is not published until a political document, and rely on Netanyahu as a strong man to do in a day.But while Netanyahu says that confront voters Iran its main priorities, many Israelis wanted to hear more about the down-to-earth issues such as taxes and the cost of living."All our lives we voted Likud, but today we voted for Lapid because we want different coalition," said أهوفا Heled (55 years) retired teacher voting on Tuesday in the town of Judea and even north of Tel Aviv.

"They finally realized that they had all hell breaks loose."Held together, in the end, but "victory" celebration at the Likud Party headquarters phone cavernous campaign Aviv sad affair. Only a few hundred turned loyal to the top, with bickering over who burn aloud or reason for the setback.Genius?
Some have questioned publicly the wisdom of union with Yisrael Beiteinu, which screams Soviet-born leader and former Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, and alienated some Likud rank and - file.Defended stout Likud coalition Tzachi Hanegbi as "a genius thing to do, even though we lost some members" because they are guaranteed Netanyahu as prime minister to obtain the cooperation of a major competitor.But Hanegbi told Reuters the apparent pre-election confidence apparently persuaded some Likud voters that they can turn to support safely without compromising Yesh Atid opportunities remaining Prime Minister Netanyahu.Lapid described as "secular, fresh, new," Hanegbi admitted: "It is now going to be more difficult for us to form a government."Said Doron Attias, a member of the Likud Central Committee, the party also lost votes right - to the latest political upstart, Naftali Bennett of Home pro-settler religious nationalism, Jewish, which came in fourth place on the ballot."I'm angry and I'm hurt," said Attias, accusing settlers of betraying Netanyahu, who has expanded Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem - land claimed by the Palestinians to establish an independent state in the future."I think we should stop investing in Judea and Samaria," said Attias, using the biblical term for the West Bank.After Netanyahu has helped himself to split Likud accusing the Bennett, an elite army commander, to encourage disobedience to express his opposition to participate in any future evacuations of settlements in the West Bank.Likud activists denounced the more extreme views of some on the list of Jewish Home - attacks that allowed Bennett to portray himself as the victim of an electoral robbery."The attack push religious voters from Likud to Bennett, and push young voters the right, but not religious, away from Bennett in Lapid ‮ ‮ ‮ ‮" ‬ ‬ ‬ ‬ weapons BC, "wrote Nahum Barnea in the biggest-selling Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.
Some supporters criticized Netanyahu's Likud publicly in the wake of dismal performances - a reflection of the party's tradition of crowd together, but also from the fact that the Prime Minister has no credibility, his rival for the party leadership."Likudniks Do not dispose of garbage in other public places Likudniks," warned a member of the Likud Central Committee Dudu Haim fellow activists at the headquarters of the elections and journalists welding Citation.
