air on stops lots of islands. that symbolizes a sweden's, drastic change in military policy. from around the world. the security forces are not protecting the people, but rather the president and his decisions to the lady elect. the goals are growing louder in israel. so the resignation of prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and for an election to be held many who are dissatisfied, affordable on council, began a little more unhappy now with how the country is being led. so connected. yeah, he'll be toppled from. what many say is his disastrous leadership? this is inside story, the are welcome to the program. i'm adrian said again, he's the leader of israel, is war of genocide and gaza. he's facing increasing is really anger failing to

bring captives home. and he's also on trial for fraud and bribery prime minister benjamin netanyahu is on the growing pressure. but from politicians within his own government, i am from world leaders increasingly on easy a bit of a rising desktop of destruction and gaza. he's long been a controversial leader provoking months of mass protests last year, against his changes to weaken the powers of the supreme court. he's facing similar protests now with thousands rallying nationwide on saturday to demand early elections. nothing yahoo! dismissing the demands for an election to be brought forward from the schedule dates in 2026. so kind of hit resist the revolt against his leadership. obviously continuing the wind concept to try to stay in power will be moving on about a more with, i guess in just a moment. but 1st laura con begins on coverage st. confrontations between his righty police and protested intel of these and rallying cry from thousands. angry

about how prime minister benjamin netanyahu is conducting the war. they want him to resign the government, your heart, your sorry, your ruins. everything that you picked is royce. now it's designed for the paper to correct all the things of the things that you have done in the past. 20 years of purchase dose is at the outset of israel's warren casa with family members of captives being held to demanding the government prioritizes the release of the ministry campaign. bought as protests, as well as the month shifted to the country to hold or the elections. not scheduled for another 2 years. bunch appointment to send us an yahoo has not changed his stuff. we use writing his mantra. the only solution is mid a tree to the new our policies, deliberate and returned, kept us through military pressure. we have brought back 120 of them so far. we will

continue until all of them are released. protest and now being backed by trade unions, helpful enough declines the economy to it stands still if the mom's adults, but on saturday, the head to the history, the union said this and you know who took us to the edge to a place where we should also have been where it's a dead end and there's only one way out and that's elections. that's a yahoo is also on the legal pressure on trial for fraud, bribery and breach of trust and opinion pulled from these ready democracy institute shows that you know, his popularity is promising with only 15 percent of his rate is wanting him to stay in power. there's a division to, within his own will cabinet rival benny guns, one almost twice the amount of support in the same poll subsidies protests which was the largest since israel's warren casa followed months of huge demonstrations

last year. is res, much against judicial reform proposed by netanyahu, and it's called rights coalition. the so called reasonableness stand, a bill was passed in july of the opposition boy, caught it the vote leading to get more anger on the streets. however, this bill was notified by the supreme court in january. nothing, you know, who's also facing pressure overseas, the international court of justice of the hague last month audit as well, to take immediate action to stop acts of genocide and garza and months of solidarity. much as a posting ends in various cities, including london, new york and mexico city, demanding an immediate cease for justice to palestine. in garza is ready for his continued the killing campaign, a plus rating and tying neighborhoods with air and lots henry strikes,

leaving no escape. the posting ins, you know, i'm leaving many questioning what is the was the only thing keeping of increasing the unpopular leader in power. laura holmes, the inside story out to 0. the . alright, let's bring it, i guess for today's discussion from televi. if we're joined by orleans is a journalist and commentator with plus $97.00 to magazine column. so it's just 50 kilometers north of that. that's where the top of the russ joins us from. he's the co executive director of the abraham initiatives and a prominent advocate for the rights of our is really is that also until a beef is political, analyst and journalist, i came out of a world welcome to you, old gentleman, a key. but let's start with you. we got some idea from laura's report that why the cause for an early election. why are people so dissatisfied with the current government of others? cool is likely to be heated as the government under any obligation to bring forward

the dates of a general election. it's hard to decide where to start the exam. first of all, your reports are just mentioned. the process that started a year ago over the judicial reform. now nobody still until this very moment. promise us that this is over this uh uh, tag you uh, actually undermine the price of the years laterally. democracy number to it's very clear now to most of these varies that now is a burden they believed for many years. um, i think that uh, the wake up quote, started uh, with his dryer, was these kind of those that surrounded him in uh,

2018. and it seems that since then uh, it's all about his own political freedom and political future. personal freedom and political future. you know, his drive is still continuing, he will probably be subpoena, will have to testify. and there's one more is what hayes, who thinks that the now has taken for 10 years is really hostage. and he's willing to undermine all relationships with the united states. he wants to gain time to wait until the american elections. maybe president dropped with was a room. and what's happening now is an attorney out is using the anxiety after october service over security, over the need for unity and the person who is

why a mazda over the side menu is middle name is now bringing in cyprus, even against the families of these larry texas and is dividing is road between 2 can't. why can't believe that the lie so the captive is more important than anything else. and the tile is responsible for what happened to them in october. and the turn you know, has to do everything to bring them back home. and the other camp that uh, is mainly used on house friends in the media end. the call issue is inside the gauge, those families telling us the story that they are actually either mining his attempts to adulthood victory to win this boy goes to from us. so

now you can see, and here's why are 2 separate camps that have very little in common, giving us a lot to, to, to over the, a cave, a product of a rush, a, let's start with, with, with those claims. with that and you know, who is continuing the war in order to, to stay in power and delay is trial for fraud and bribery, how credible of the others claims. and how has the war changed? is really politics. yes. is the war a has it had an impact? it's 3 minute, but them does that mean? is that the it's uh, but it's still, it's a wakeup call for today's res. 3 can so the would it become part of done a still doesn't it, is that the laws in a post drama, you cannot believe that it's happened. and after all, we are talking about the longest war that most except expensive war. and just in the times that most defensive, a war and now and then as a confrontation with them permission to the community is right in the right lot.

it's in a very bad shape right now, and this is why that then yeah, will lift width very extreme at the right wing. these are racist 10 equations without the is there any public? there is different than 6 months of the month. oh, width and nothing. no, not supporting the government yet. they are supporting that at the release of the hostages. so at the right now, i believe that the now is the booked in the between the players. and one of these is looking for an achievement in gaza. but this was at, it's not, it's not the bringing. i've had 2 months, almost connection, but it's been, goes up. on the other hand, we can see that, but give me this v as a bruce it is that it's committed every day and goes up. it's really and bringing more and thought much about it for us. our own is around it and they're also now

from the lions united states and you'd have been in companies and also is that now the i, c, j i, we have to witness that a. we see that there is a kind of a pressure. and then another started with is what it is jack is built up right now, but it's still it's, it's so small and we don't see that they want to straight stands in. believe it's really there. it's hard to from being about, oh, to compare to them with the, the owner's permission to get this reward of assistance. october. i believe this with the up on the, the changing the change of political leadership and his records imminent or unsafe . a piece of i've many previous predictions of his downfall if they weren't election israel today, would you bet money on nothing. yeah. who not? being prime minister afterwards senior members of his own policy says,

but he went but you can't put anything past him. can you? yes, exactly. i think this is exactly the reason and then the always aligned to the extreme right. for bending good. most reach it because in the beginning people talk with guns and more centers, the bigger is joined the government. they talk, it's for nathan the out to promote to deal with that the you the big 3, right? we're not support but we didn't include the really bad thing in political prisoners . so the family of the hostages and the other members of the company cannot hope to detect this gun. and i, they, i then called the government could effect it and the out to go to the students were given some support or so in the that now that he would support from outside of the, this kind of the epic. now it seems that to me out, understand that if the hostages deal, the x to right, we need the government and maybe later, also red benny guns up to the deed is completed. so he decided to align the completely to the extra right. and talking about the fact that on the military

force or do we need to hot, which is something that hasn't proved itself in the last $100.00 for the day. and given that no, it's existing, not going to elections than just said, dragon, good. the next 2 years, 56, we progress on the other side, of course we have the process day yesterday, that was the biggest, the process. it's so far on 10000 people. and we have done this kind of the easily probably get it to the shock. and many people felt uncomfortable to practice during war. but it's, they sold it to now it's going back to dealing with local politics. and it's a rival, defaulted to the time to go out, not only for the hostages, but also to the band and the government to resign. and as, as i see the, those products we also grow and what we're hearing from bad sources in the courtney either kind of being funny is that this time they will not allow when we get to,

they would not allow way dropping off the highway. busy on marches and so on. so all, so yesterday we've seen some math more classes. but as i understand that for me the trying to align with families the benefit we are in and show what they're learning 3 and will not allow it to mask the blockades. we've seen a year ago, i keep a tablet, touched upon the makeup of affecting yahoos coalition government at the moment for the most right wing and israel's history. to what extent is he being constrained dried out by his coalition partners in his decision making on the world? both of those parties wanted especially those those 2 small far right parties, could they actually bring down the nothing yeah. who kept them? but if he agrees to anything that they don't like actually he made a decision that he is willing to confront the international community to say no to the president of the united states who has its own

domestic strategy just as we know. and just this morning, few hours ago he passed a resolution in the cabinet. that is a clear message to the united states saying, mind your own business is well, is not willing to hear about a 2 state solution. what policy is that? um, and what he's trying to do right now is to the state and you kind of message to the campaign. he's actually in the 3rd grade right now. we're talking about the, the process industry. he started while he's going for unity. and this is not designed for lectures, and this is dying to hold hands. and he is telling us that he is the only one who can stop it is uh,

i'm the mind any attempt to force the 2 state solution. and we know the part i that the president by doing a split already on the table, not formally, but these are by the senior stage, is fees we solved your radio. and the cost also waste a deal to release the hostages as the fire inc. it goes up, so what the oh is doing? he is not willing to give a green light duty deal ways the you come us over the hostages is not willing to give a deadline to the war. he is refusing to put forward any exit strategy. and let's see what the is very serious society would say, because he's got is a 64 block. the lesson is also taken hostage by him,

by the government at guns. isn't the kind of a catch 22 he's doing this. he says is, do you send that diet? well, actually, because that's the case. i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry to interrupt you. okay. okay. but just that you have, you picked up on, on, on, on something the, when you said that the nothing yahoo is, is refusing to make a decision to what extent is that actually politically, very clever in a bite. deciding a bold but not deciding he's are actually deciding by remaining ambiguous and letting it drag on, but actually benefits him politically. you know, it seems that his bows are showing that though these larry's uh, very concerned about the, the, even a possibility that the there will be about a senior stage next door in garza angel, west, back east jerusalem. ramadan,

his colleague and uh, people, uh, talking about escalation between these ladies and by the senior. what is the best is playing a 0 sum game. what's good for us must be best for the senior and vice versa. and this is lucky. so i wouldn't rush to bury him if the issue will be a senior state on dog and guys even left big moment body, they didn't say that they saw the blueprint of the president bided because it's not popping up with a c estate. and the now is putting picks up, you did it was you on and you know how we ended. but he has a very good record in destroying any hope for even negotiations for the 2 state solution at the top of

a russ picking up on what our cable was saying that when he was courting nothing. yeah. who's speaking on on saturday, the last thing we need like right now is elections. we need it. unity right now, if there's one thing i'm asked would like, it's a political fight which would further divide is when a c said is right, will not agree to have access to on this for a cease file of hostage swap, the cold them insane. but does the, is really electorate agree with him? well, you know, it's not important just to focus in the issue that is that, is that the, as a whole doesn't really predict on the mat. doesn't have a clear vision, the superintendent just a genetic old level of leadership and is right in a 2nd turn into the doctor. these vision i really the glue to start to g. regarding the do not be born on the authorities, access to manage the conflict of to try to change reality on the ground. and

it, even if we change the video and i believe the 2000 people were, we will be on the election and national direction. and then the, i believe about guns wouldn't be the lead on the back of the coming to the doctor, please let them know i was, oh gosh, we moved our unity equation that consist of the legal body that how did they have bought the how to cut the spark is right, we got left wing because then somebody needs to say if you have the whole need, needs a unit d b i, that is your unit is on the board, but pennsylvania so that i believe that a what we need to do the region for these, i think is what i should trust to join the community to try to offer a whole for those reasons, not only for the students on to go for a young man, bees with the student. it's no or move are. i believe that is the survive but of

the step, the defense on bees. i'm leaving aside and joe supplements the and the agent. okay, so i can is ready to go. the actually should be more or less the export about policy and about issues i should bring them to the on the initiatives piece initiative. this is the right thing to do unfortunately, because no, the leadership is the gun above the so on do so. the initiative right now, even if the government supported that, just before i put that to our end topic, briefly tell us how powerful a low be the arab is really vote is i photo is all there it is with. yeah, i think by the phone we all consists of 20 percent of the population had we got and we are pointing to the partnership we would like to us and to be part of the kind of a process it was right. nobody got benefits from these between our companies. i'm

a lot of people don't want us to have more of a loss. i believe that we are paying the price being just right use the latest citizens and big, but our students in your inbox skill actually months during the more we a we, we have a site last but it was really a, a system and we all went up the width is so this is why we would love to be bottles . i'm a guy, i'm 30 nathaniel and government who would like to be back to the through the government government. yet we are really concerned about the future government. oh, but it wouldn't be a peaceful government that we go for these and make peace with our people. the policies are picking up on what topic of a rush were saying that the survival of israel depends upon peace is not something that the, the, these really electra would agree with. so unfortunately, the best,

the majority of the public supports the board. a lot of them can see you won't be easily media, so they're not through the aware of the risk the reality in regards of the casual feed that the visitation bear, all the guys to get these destroyed, victory destroyed. i do think that it's very dumb hope is the fact that in the process is moving through yes, the name of the street and they're not against the board, they're against the government. some of them are talking about the, the lat, whole thing. speaking about the day after and it's anyhow refuses any discussion, refused starting to speak about the day after what going to happen and stop in inside the truck, the service against a gun with you have a smaller roof bed, the bed of broad because left we need 3 entities and into a she's ready to big truck. i think there's a one against the war against the genocide against the massacre and maybe a connecting point between the smaller group and the, and best majority of the talk to sort of recording for election against the now is

this idea or the coming out when he's polishing refused to take talk about the officer and in the public, even the left wing get central there probably could come to this different direction even if they don't open the door. they do want to spend and it has to be some solution. some people might think, i'll put police considerably, nothing within the hour and quite a few now refusing to speak about. and this might give some hope for our police to kind of change. okay, but we've got just a few minutes left. what will post? nothing. yeah. who politics in israel looked like? will that do you think the radical change of to this war of everything with the country has been through or would it be more of the same light by different faces? and actually uh, i mean is very easy just to look at uh, the political map and the is ready policy. the on the regarding

the company bought a cd is right across the street. the year before had is buy bed. and the b a. d is what any public i think is more mature then. uh the lead us stop it just uh said, i think its uh, the massive majority of these ladies understand that we must reach and add to the conflicts at the end of the floor. how many more walls can we handle? um, but uh, even if you look at uh, the possibility of a government led by guns on his right. the people who buy boston attorney, all right. like uh, google saw who wrote bottle very good. and they're ready to go. very good. so i, i believe that the, the is a discount, as opposed to be skim. boston is why i am gonna do a few. vidalia tours will have to work very hard to make

a difference is not just change to the leadership, is changing their priorities, the agenda and the, the more of these, right. it's a comment about 2 minutes left. i need a very brief answer for you that i want to hear a little bit more from our into you what you, what, nothing vigorously that now well i, i, 2nd day i do buy google doc, you buy, but still, i think we need, unless you know, how, with all the rest of them, if i don't want to use the word impose. but i think there are personal things that i have to try to be the 1st appointment that much of my low. it's so important to stop. this is miss you more get experience every day and they also to try to come up with that. yeah. yeah. so you should be solution that that's, that's based on the establishment of the policy. and i think the time the southern states alongside this lab, i know that the know is not but dental survive, but,

but you will lose everything or very briefly as a final word from you as a these are these protests you think set to grow in the coming weeks, definitely they're going to grow, they're gonna get bigger. and as we can in the past, they're going to meet with police brutality. a creek repression in between, encouraged more people to go out and enjoy them. and hopefully, also to relate to divorce tests and not only to the elections and that against that's on the out the general. but i'm afraid we must have that many section date too old for taking part today. orleans is top of upper us and keep elbow. thank you for watching. you can see the program again at any time by going to the websites. it's l g 0. don't com for further discussion. you're welcome to join us with our facebook page. you'll find that at facebook dot com forward slash page a inside story, and of course you can join the conversation on x on handle the f

better than is that any thoughts provided? hang on my question to you all. the good cooks, i think is the most difficult question. i've had to answer facing realities. usb too. in the security council, this is, it may just something look as if it ex thursday is he of the story on told to how does era on counting the cost of israel is 1st credit raising down. great. how bleak is the outlook for its economy? commercial real estate in the us is faltering banks as far away as just a feeling the pain. plus we find out whether a full day work week will boost workers productivity counting the cost on i will just say around the colleges when the
