anticipated. herzog has called netanyahu to offer his congratulations. last night the prime minister gave a victory speech exalting in the comeback victory. earlier polls days ago put him several seats serious challenge in reuniting the country after some very harsh words right up until the final moments of this race. let's turn now to cnn's or rihn lieberman standing by in jerusalem with the very latest. >> reporter: one of the questions we'll try to figure out over the next few days is were the polls wrong from the very beginning or did netanyahu really stage an incredibly dramatic come back are from four seats down to five seats up. that's not what netanyahu is worried about right now. he saw the results and his victory. he knows it's a resounding victory with a very comfortable margin of victory for him and his right wing coalition. now it's up to him or looks like it will be up to him to put together a coalition government. when we saw the exit polls it was a very close race and it looked like he had a slight edge

in the ability and necessity of putting together that government. now when we see what are unofficial results but actual numbers from the ballot boxes, we know he has a much easier path to putting together a right wing government. he is a master politician and dealmaker and will use that to his advantage as he proceeds over the next few tase calling, talking to the other parties, wheeling and dealing, which is necessary to create a coalition government. but that's up to him and that's what he knows how to do well. he has been prime minister for six years and he will be able to hold on to his seat put together another coalition government. herzog thought it was a close race. then we saw those results, we saw that yitzhak herzog will not have a chance to put together his government. instead it will be prime minister benjamin netanyahu. again, john netanyahu gave that victory speech last night, this morning looking at the numbers looks like he can celebrate that victory. >> happening now, secretary of

yet. just two minutes ago the iranian foreign minister walked past me here, just had a 20 minute walk along the water front here it's a beautiful morning and i shouted out to him, how is it going, is sir? he said it is going. >> so i said where is it going? and he said we are trying. he looked like a man who was relaxed, he was smiling a lot, he obviously had a huge security entourage with him, but he took 20 minutes out this morning to take a walk by the water. you know you get the sense that although there's pressure on you know how much needs to be done in the remaining time before the deadline the 31st of march, that there is a sort of pause this morning. there were three meetings yesterday between secretary kerry and foreign minister zarif, you know about five-and-a-half hours in total, five hours in the day before. this morning there seems to be a pause, not the clear what that pause is but we are expecting another meeting later today, christine. >> all right, nic robertson.

turning down to or rihn lieber pan standing by in jerusalem with the latest. >> reporter: one of the things we'll try to figure out here over the next few days is how those exit polls and polls leading up to the election were so dramatically off. this showed this to be a very close race. of course as we saw, that turned out not so much to be the case. so either netanyahu had a dramatic come back or the polls were wrong from the very beginning. we'll have to figure that part out. i'll tell you who doesn't care that now, benjamin netanyahu, he sees these results and these results are from the actual ballot boxes and knows what seems to be a clear path to the premiership and he will still be the prime minister. it looks like he has a lot of options for creating a coalition government. he has a very strong lead on yitzhak herzog a five seat lead and has a lot of options as to who he can put where in his coalition government. he has created coalition governments before and he's ready to do it again.

he declared victory last night with the exit polls. they showed a slight margin of victory and wraps a difficult path but a very possible one to creating his coalition government. now he can look at those numbers, still unofficial of course but from the ballot boxes instead of from polls and he sees a very clear path to victory. as you mentioned yitzhak herzog has called to congratulation as the next prime minister. he will call the parties and start to piece together a coalition government. as i said netanyahu has a lot of options for how he wants to piece that together. >> all right. or rihn lieberman, thank you. john kerry in switzerland, a third day of nuclear talks with the iranian foreign minister. iran's leaders claiming that 90% of technical issues have been worked out. u.s. diplomats are saying there are, quote, still some tough, tough issues to address. u.s. senate republicans are not backing down from their controversial letter to the

[ inaudible ]. >> well a little hard to hear what he was saying in the final reply, he kept walking, but looking very relaxed.

what he actually said was, we're trying. and that's certainly what we're hearing from the state department. the deadline is less than two weeks away the 31st of march for a framework agreement. what we heard from state department officials yesterday was that some progress has been made in discussing the sort of how to get around some of the technical issues the options that are available, but not so much as saying that there is an agreement, just sort of progress discussing how agreement might be made on those technical issues. political issues still remain a challenge, secretary kerry has said this is a time where iran needs to make those tough political choices about sanctions, about, if you will coming clean about tear past military use or not of nuclear material. that's still a key issue. so the deadline approaching, why no meeting so far today? we're told it's still tbd, time to be determined. why it hasn't happened yet today, that's not clear, john. >> nic robertson in switzerland.
