00:00:01Well, 11 and here box.
00:00:15Hello, good morning. Seven now we have an update
00:00:18on the news. First, to the elections in the United States,
00:00:21the Democrats gained control of both houses of the American
00:00:25Congress. Nathan Gropman, our correspondent in Washington,
00:00:28we turn to you with the current situation. And the updated one and also the meaning of
00:00:32the emerging results for Trump,
00:00:35yes, it's not just a blue wave, it's a blue tsunami,
00:00:38the Democrats took the majority in the House of Representatives and they
00:00:42are in the Senate, and the gap in both houses may still grow
00:00:45in their favor in the coming hours, as the counting of votes is completed.
00:00:49What is interesting from all this are the states in which Democratic
00:00:52candidates won, states that were considered Republican strongholds,
00:00:56among them South Carolina, Iowa and especially the state of
00:00:59Texas, this southern one that is more identified with the
00:01:02Republicans, there a Democratic candidate won in the Senate race
00:01:06and a Democratic candidate won who defeated the incumbent
00:01:09governor for the position of the next governor. There are other interesting
00:01:12races that have not yet been decided. Michigan of course, also Alaska in the waters
00:01:16and others. The immediate implication is that the government in America
00:01:19is split, Donald Trump is passing Republicans in the White House
00:01:23and facing him is an opposing Democratic Congress. This means that Trump will not
00:01:27be able to promote legislation, budgets or appointments. There are
00:01:30those who call him a lame duck, this will also make it difficult for him
00:01:33to continue the war with Iran after the new Congress is sworn in
00:01:37in January. Trump himself said that he would respect the election results, but
00:01:40also blamed the party and said: If I had been standing for election we would have won
00:01:44big. Yes, Nathan, another interesting headline tonight from the United
00:01:48States, Trump says he has no immediate intention to attack
00:01:51Iran. Yes, President Trump says this and also
00:01:54his deputy says: There are no immediate plans for an attack, and this actually answers everyone
00:01:58who expected that the deadline set by Trump immediately after the midterm
00:02:02elections would indeed translate into military action. The President says
00:02:06that the United States is in a good position in the campaign and from there he knows
00:02:10he has the upper hand and he does not intend at least for now
00:02:13to launch a military move. Nathan Gutman,
00:02:16our correspondent in the United States, thank you very much. Thank you.
00:02:20Now to the suspicion of foreign interference in the Likud elections.
00:02:23They accuse the legal advisor to the government, Mrs.
00:02:26Bassi Kol, of thwarting and covering up the investigation
00:02:30of the affair and that she ties the hands of the Shabak and prevents the
00:02:34search for the truth. This is after the legal advisor stated that
00:02:37in a law-abiding country it is not possible to investigate citizens or elected officials without
00:02:41a factual basis and says that anyone who has evidence that justifies
00:02:44his investigation will be investigated. Yesterday it was reported that the head of the Shabak, Kzin,
00:02:47is seeking to investigate the senior officials of the Arab parties. Ahmed Tibi, Mansour Abbas,
00:02:51Sami Abu Shahadeh and another Knesset member. Law enforcement
00:02:55officials believe that apart from the additional Knesset member for whom there is relevant
00:02:58information, there is no evidence at all that allows for the investigation
00:03:01of the three. In the opposition, they strongly attacked Zini, the chairman
00:03:05of the Democrats Yair Golan accused him of turning the Shabak into a political
00:03:09tool in Netanyahu's service. Gadi Eisenkot warned against
00:03:12using security powers for political considerations.
00:03:16The chairman of Ra'am Mansour Abbas stated that he and his party members are not
00:03:20afraid of an investigation, and condemned the attempt to incriminate
00:03:24the Arab public.
00:03:27The President of the State, Herzog, will begin after.
00:03:38Meanwhile, the struggles between the leaders of the change bloc
00:03:40continue.
00:03:43Yes, Yonatan, at the meeting of the heads of the change bloc, it was Yair Golan
00:03:46who proposed establishing a minority government based on the Arab
00:03:49Knesset members. Avigdor Lieberman, not surprisingly, said that he strongly
00:03:53opposed this, but the interesting part is the silence of Eisenkot
00:03:56and Bennett who did not respond well to the
00:04:00reliance on the parties and on the Arab Knesset members.
00:04:03Furthermore, none of the party leaders ruled out
00:04:07forming a government based on the ultra-Orthodox parties,
00:04:10and specifically United Torah Judaism, for which the chance
00:04:13of joining is probably a bit more reasonable compared to Shas, although I wouldn't say
00:04:17an excellent chance, we didn't discuss the possible
00:04:21concessions that would need to be made to bring in ultra-Orthodox parties,
00:04:25but no one ruled out the idea itself. Yaara,
00:04:29thank you. Now the forecast immediately after the
00:04:31sponsorship.

00:05:09And that's it, that's our news update for this hour, immediately after us. Here
00:05:54the system of this morning, a defeat for President Trump
00:05:57and the Republicans in the midterm elections.
