Netanyahu makes STUNNING claim about deadlocked Israeli election

>> John: AMERICA'S GULF ALLIES. ON HIGH ALERT AS U.S. AND. ISRAELI FORCES REPORTEDLY. PREPARE FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF. COMBAT WITH IRAN AFTER THE MID. TERM ELECTIONS. OUR CORRESPONDENT JEFF PAUL IS. LIVE IN LONDON FOR US. HI, JEFF. >> Reporter: HEY, JOHN. YEAH, NOTHING IS 100% CERTAIN. JUST YET BUT THE WALL STREET. JOURNAL IS REPORTING U.S. OFFICIALS HAVE TOLD SEVERAL GULF. ARAB COUNTRIES TO BE PREPARED. FOR A SHORT INTENSE MILITARY. CAMPAIGN TO DEGRADE IRAN'S.

STRENGTH AND MAY FORCE THEM BACK. INTO NEGOTIATIONS. JENNIFER GRIFFIN REPORTS. PREPARATIONS ARE BEING MADE TO. GIVE THE PRESIDENT OPTIONS, BUT. NO INDICATION ANY DECISION HAS. BEEN MADE BY PRESIDENT TRUMP. SO FAR THE U.S. HAS SENT. ADDITIONAL PATRIOT ASSISTANCE TO. THE MIDDLE EAST AND IS SET TO. MOVE AN ADDITIONAL AIRCRAFT. CARRIER STRIKE GROUP TO THE. REGION. PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS ASKED ABOUT. THE POSSIBILITY OF THESE STRIKES. TELLING REPORTERS, QUOTE, I. CAN'T TELL YOU, BUT ANYTHING IS.

POSSIBLE. >> I THINK WITH IRAN, WE'RE IN A. VERY GOOD POSITION. IT'S A QUESTION, WHEN DO I WANT. TO END IT? SIMPLY A QUESTION, WHEN DO I. WANT TO END IT? THEY WANT TO MAKE A DEAL, BUT. THEY'VE WANTED TO MAKE A DEAL. PATIENTLY WAITING FOR THE. ELECTION OR SOMETHING. THAT'S NOT GONNA HELP THEM. THE ELECTION IS NOT GONNA HELP. THEM. >> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT ALL. REFERENCED DECIMATING IRAN'S. MILITARY AND THEIR FINANCES, SAYING THAT THEY HAVE INFLATION.

THE HIGHEST IN THE WORLD WITH. SANCTIONS IN PLACE AND BLOCKADE. ON IRANIAN PORTS. MANY ARE STRUGGLING TO BUY. EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS. >> TRANSLATOR: I DECIDED AS. QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO CUT BACK. ON MY SPENDING. I WANTED TO ELIMINATE MY USUAL. SPENDINGS. IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH. THERE'S NOTHING LEFT AT THE END. OF THE MONTH. >> Reporter: THE NEW DEAL WOULD. BE TO CUT A DEAL WITH IRAN TO. END THE WAR. MEDIATORS HAVE REPORTED IRAN. WITH A NEW DRAFT AND IRAN IS.

EXPECTED TO OFFICIALLY RESPOND. BY THE END OF THE WEEK. JOHN? >> John: WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. AS OF NOVEMBER 4th. SANDRA? SEASON HERE NOW ISRAELI. AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED. NATIONS. AMBASSADOR, GREAT TO HAVE YOU. HERE. >> THANKS YOU FOR HAVING ME. >> Sandra: I WANT TO SHOW YOU. THE MAP IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THIS IS THE CARRIER THAT'S. CURRENTLY IN MILITARY DRILL. THERES THE PHILIPPINE SEA, MOVING TOWARD THE MIDDLE EAST. SEVEN TO TEN DAYS AFTER THE.

DRILLS END. WHERE IS THIS CONFLICT GOING. NEXT? >> WE SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN. TEHRAN. REGIME AREN'T WILLING TO. NEGOTIATE. THEY ARE ACTUALLY THREATENING. U.S. OFFICIALS IN THE REGION IN. ISRAEL. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT RELEASED. TARGETS IN ISRAEL THEY WILL. ATTACK. I THINK THEY NEED A REALITY. CHECK. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID IT VERY. CLEARLY, THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE. TO CONTINUE THE SAME WAY. IT WILL NOT MAKE SENSE WITH.

NEGOTIATIONS. >> Sandra: FINALLY ON THAT, THE. PRESIDENT NAMED POSSIBLE TARGETS. INCLUDING PICKAXE MOUNTAIN AND. KHARG ISLAND. >> WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S. HAPPENING ON THE GROUND. IF THEY THINK THEY CAN HIDE. MATERIAL WITHOUT U.S. OR ISRAEL. KNOWING ABOUT IT, THEY'RE WRONG. WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE. DOING, WHERE THEY'RE HIDING. WE HAVE INTELLIGENCE. >> Sandra: I WANT TO ASK YOU. ABOUT THE DEAD LOCKED ISRAELI. ELECTIONS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

THE ISRAELI PRESIDENT WILL BEGIN. CONSULTING NEXT WEEK WITH THE. DIFFERENT PARTIES BEFORE ISSUING. A MANDATE NETANYAHU TO FORM A. GOVERNMENT. HE COULD TRY TO PERSUADE THEM TO. FORM A UNITY GOVERNMENT, BUT. NETANYAHU DOESN'T SEEM. INTERESTED. TUESDAY NIGHT HE CALLED FOR. STRONG RIGHT WING GOVERNMENT. WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW WITH. THIS? >> FIRST OF ALL, WHAT WE SAW. YESTERDAY, SANDRA, IS DEMOCRACY. ALMOST 80% OF ISRAELIS STOOD IN. LINE TO VOTE.

REMARKABLE. JEWS, EVERYONE, IT SHOWS WE ARE. STRONG. NOW IT'S NOT OVER YET. WE HAVE TO FORM A GOVERNMENT. THE PRIME MINISTER GOT VERY GOOD. RESULT FOR HIS PARTY. BUT STILL HE NEEDS TO NEGOTIATE. TO GET THE COALITION. IT WILL TAKE A FEW WEEKS. I WOULD ADVISE OUR ENEMIES NOT. TO MAKE THE MISTAKE. IF THEY SEE E WE ARE IN A. TRANSITION PERIOD AND THEY CAN. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT, THEY ARE. WRONG. PRIME MINISTER NETANYAHU IS. STILL THE PRIME MINISTER.

THE MILITARY IS STILL THERE. >> Sandra: I HEAR THAT WARNING, AS NETANYAHU CLAIMED THE ISRAELI. ELECTIONS WERE STOLEN. THIS IS A BRAND NEW POST. HE POSTED THIS ABOUT TWO HOURS. AGO SAYING THE ELECTIONS IN THE. STATE OF ISRAEL WERE STOLEN BY. ARAB PARTIES THAT SUPPORT. TERRORISM AND THE ELIMINATION OF. THE JEWISH STATE. SERIOUS CRIMINAL OFFENSES OF. BRIBERY, THREAT, FORGERY, USING. PROHIBITED SOFTWARE TO MOBILIZE. VOTERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS BLOW, HE SAYS, TO ISRAELI DEMOCRACY AND THE.

VOTING RIGHTS OF ISRAELI. CITIZENS. LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES MUST. ACT WITH AN IRON FIST AND IN AN. IMMEDIATE MANNER. CAN YOU ADD TO THIS? >> I'M SURE IT WILL BE. INVESTIGATED. I TRUST OUR AUTHORITIES TO LOOK. INTO THAT AND COME TO THEIR. CONCLUSIONS. >> Sandra: WOW. DID YOU KNOW THAT WAS COMING, THIS POST FROM NETANYAHU? >> YESTERDAY THERE WERE A FEW. ARRESTS DURING THE ELECTION DAY. THEY FOUND A LOT OF CASH IN SOME. PLACES, VILLAGES.

THEY ARRESTED A FEW PEOPLE. I WOULD ADVISE TO WAIT AND SEE. WHAT THE RESULT OF THE COALITION. INVESTIGATION. >> Sandra: GOT IT. WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST, GOING. BACK TO THE ACTUAL ELECTION. WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST IS A. FORMAL TIMELINE BEFORE WE HAVE. AN ANSWER? >> IT TAKES TIME. I WOULD SAY AT LEAST A MON.
