(18 Mar 2015) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus027943 VOICE-OVER: ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU LEFT A NOTE, AND PRAYED AT THE WESTERN WALL IN JERUSALEM ON WEDNESDAY... AS FINAL ELECTION RESULTS SHOWED HIS RIGHT-WING LIKUD PARTY HAD SCORED A RESOUNDING VICTORY IN TUESDAY'S ELECTION... RETURNING NETANYAHU TO POWER FOR A FOURTH TERM. NETANYAHU SAYS HE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO ADVANCE THE WELL-BEING AND SECURITY OF ALL THE CITIZENS OF ISRAEL. BUT HIS LAST-MINUTE PRE-ELECTION LURCH TO THE RIGHT COULD SPELL TROUBLE FOR MIDEAST PEACE NEGOTIATIONS. IN A DRAMATIC POLICY REVERSAL, HE VOWED TO OPPOSE PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD, AND EXPAND THE CONSTRUCTION OF JEWISH SETTLEMENTS... MOVES, THE PALESTINIANS SAY, THEY'LL TAKE TO THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT. SOUNDBITE (English): Mustafa Barghouti, Palestinian legislator: "Netanyahu leaves no space for any peace process. Palestinians now are obliged to go to the ICC (International Criminal Court), Palestinians are obliged to support the popular non-violent resistance and the call for boycott, divestment sanctions. Israel must be treated as the apartheid system was treated in South Africa at one point in time." WITH NEARLY ALL VOTES COUNTED, LIKUD APPEARS TO HAVE EARNED 30 OF THE 120 SEATS IN PARLIAMENT... PUTTING THEM IN A POSITION TO BUILD, WITH RELATIVE EASE, A COALITION GOVERNMENT WITH ITS NATIONALIST, RELIGIOUS AND ULTRA-ORTHODOX ALLIES. SOUNDBITE (English) Avraham Diskin, Associate Professor of Political Science, Hebrew University of Jerusalem "Anything is possible in Israel , but the nucleus of the next government is going to be all the right wing parties, maybe with one exception, and Kahlon (Moshe Kahlon - Kulanu party leader) in the center, there is a very good chance that the government will be stable..." REGARDLESS, NETANYAHU'S SERIES OF HARD-LINE POSITIONS IN THE FINAL DAYS LEADING UP TO HIS ELECTION VICTORY -- ON ISSUES FROM PALESTINIAN STATEHOOD TO THE U.S. NUCLEAR NEGOTIATIONS WITH IRAN - HAS PUT HIM ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH THE UNITED STATES AND MUCH OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. NETANYAHU SAYS HE HOPES TO FORM A NEW GOVERNMENT WITHIN TWO TO THREE WEEKS.
