nineteen with time running out the british prime minister tries to convince polly meant and her cabinet to accept her draft breakfasted deal plus general force an exclusive interview with the rebel leader wanted for war crimes in the central african republic and in the us senate new calls for sanctions against saudi arabia in the wake of jamal pressure does matter. thank you for joining as israel's defense minister avigdor lieberman has announced his resignation he's stepping down in protest at the government's cease fire agreement with palestinian factions in gaza leave him and also says his party will quit the government coalition leaving prime minister benjamin it's now with just a one seat majority in a statement hamas called his resignation a victory for gaza harry fawcett has more from west jerusalem. essentially his
8:02 pm
argument is that by agreeing to this ceasefire after hundreds of hamas and other palestinian faction rockets coming out of gaza striking israeli territory striking homes killing one person in israeli territory that netanyahu has capitulated to terror he has been making such arguments in slightly more muted terms for some time calling for much harsher military action against hamas after the months of border protests of incendiary devices being launched on kites and balloons and burning israeli farmland next to the gaza border fence and he has been saying this in the sense that that israel had to do more militarily in order to secure its long term security now his critics have been saying in the past and they've been coming out again today to say that he has the luxury of being able to say that because he's been calling for war in the full knowledge that there was something of
8:03 pm
a safety net that netanyahu and the military establishment had no appetite for war so politically he was allowed to to make these very loud pronouncements without bearing the consequences of what might go wrong during the course of such a war he though has countered that saying that he has been paying a political political cost by being a loyal member of a government who security policy he has disagreed with. hari fawcett in west jerusalem al-jazeera has this update from gaza where there is widespread skepticism over how long the ceasefire will last. there's a certain style of relief here in gaza an all out war didn't break out this is one of the buildings that were targeted by the israelis it belongs to hamas in the civilian area and people around there not only you can imagine the fear they did they felt that night when that explosion happened but also their properties get damaged this is
8:04 pm
a place that still hasn't recovered from the previous war back in two thousand and fourteen so people here have been extremely worried about how things could develop know how mass on this side has put forward to the people here this cease fire as a political victory that coupled with the news of the resignation of the israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman saying that that was actually a political victory and an acknowledgement by the israelis that hamas has. all of them now people are happy that has returned but this is a certain degree of skepticism. all these talks about a cease fire has been very difficult to reach an agreement over a long term cease fire that's still not set and still people are enjoying the calm
8:05 pm
now but there is a worry that escalation that we so over the past few days might make reaching. a long term agreement more difficult than it already was michel barack is a former adviser to former israeli president shimon peres and speechwriter for former prime minister ariel sharon he says the resignation of the defense minister caught many people off guard. today the results were announced at a number of municipal elections including the one in jerusalem where he had a candidate that he was supporting that won so it makes sense that it didn't happen up until now because it would have affected the election but he certainly caught everyone off guard by coming out and saying he's resigning from the government but i think it may be a smart political move for him and the prime minister now has to see how as a prime minister going to maneuver because a prime minister still has the upper hand here for lieberman it certainly was good to distance himself now from the prime minister because you know he was talking very very tough before he became defense minister and people haven't seen him be
8:06 pm
really tough necessarily in the defense ministry because a lot of what the defense minister has to do is also be restraint and showing restraint to his voting base is not so good no days spokeswoman for the palestinian taskforce on public diplomacy she says lieberman's resignation coming after the cease fire announcement is not lost on the people of gaza well i think the entire palestinian public will not lose any sleep over the fact that lieberman will not be part of this government and the fact that he's resignation is motivated by the fact that he's objecting to not treading enough palestinian blood having said that i think if you look at it take a closer look at the palestinian public opinion it is not lost on any sector of palestinian society that this was directly related to the last forty eight hours or so in gaza and that gaza is
8:07 pm
a player in internal israeli politics now. now the world news for inspire minister is trying to win approval for a break said dr deal with the e.u.'s special cabinet meeting negotiators from britain and the european union came to an agreement on tuesday several of terrorism is cabinet ministers are reported however to have concerns with the draft plan the other e.u. countries will also have to approve the proposal that speak to paul brennan who is live in london for is this is being described paul as another moment of truth in the breadth of negotiations were expecting the prime minister to come out and speak in the next hour are we expecting anything surprising any surprise announcements from teresa me. i think anything could happen in the next hour in the next couple of hours in the next twenty four hours frankly we are wondering now whether this is the bricks of pieces falling into
8:08 pm
place or whether this is the british government falling to pieces what we know is that the cabinet the government ministers of theresa may started a meeting at two pm this afternoon that's a just over three hours ago it was expected to come to a finish around about now. and the next had been marked on the tarmac outside number ten downing street for the prime minister to come out to give a statement to the waiting media now we know that the cabinet meeting is vastly over running it's going to run at least until six pm perhaps even longer it seems that all the ministers assembled around that long table want to have a very long say now are they saying their piece before they fall into line behind the prime minister's plan or are they say venting their spleen before they decide to resign from the government it's too early to say and there is also pressure for the for the prime minister to come back to parliament which has already been today to give a further statement to the house in the prime minister's questions which happened around lunch time she was assailed from all sides by british years and by the
8:09 pm
opposition about the deal. cells within this plan i have to say the prime minister to resign may came out fine let's have a listen. i'm confident this takes a significant closer to live to delivering on what the british people voted for and . we will take back control of our borders our laws and our money leave the common fisheries policy and the common agricultural policy while protecting job security and the integrity of our united kingdom mr speaker i will come back to the house to update on the outcome so paul do we know what this draft agreement says exactly what are the controversial bits here. it hasn't been published officially but have been leaks it looks like the prime minister's idea for the u.k. to stay within a kind of customs arrangement with the european union forms a major part of it that would get around the idea that northern ireland was somehow
8:10 pm
being carved away and becoming a kind of separate arrangement with the european union that was something that the northern ireland parties were extremely unhappy about and bear in mind the d u p a northern ireland party is the party of the crops up to recently is minority government other plans as you heard from theresa may they are in relation to the fisheries but as far as the official contents that hasn't been published what we do know is that there have been leaks that there are various political allegiances within westminster who've been feeding little snippets because the cabinet ministers had a glimpse of it last night and this morning and the reaction has been almost universally opposed to the deal it seems to please nobody that the arch breck city has are very unhappy about it and even those people who would prefer to stay within the european union are extremely unhappy and it's giving further weight to the idea of going back and having a people's vote about this because the reality is that in parliament there seems to
8:11 pm
be an impasse i was going to ask you about that in fact what's the contention see plan here if the cabinet and the parliament doesn't approve this draft agreement and what do the europeans do that. well the timetable for now is that the cabinet has to approve if the cabinet doesn't approve then to resign may has lost the confidence of government ministers and she's going to have to review have position as prime minister as leader she could theoretically have to step down then she will go to the european council which is the gathering of the other twenty seven leaders hopefully. they say by the twenty fifth of november after that there would be ratification and that means it would come back to poland in the building behind me and it's here that the real problems will arise because as i said to you there is a there is no majority because the government has no majority to push this through without a majority to push it through it's going to be voted down in one case we're going
8:12 pm
to really uncharted territory we could be looking at a general election. ok thank you very much as we watch these live pictures outside of ten downing street there's a gentleman standing in front of the door they're not sure exactly who he is ok they haven't. thank you very much for that paul paul brennan live for us in london we'll come back to you of course with all the latest developments outside of ten downing street there let's move on to other world news now and the u.n. security council is due to vote on thursday about extending its peacekeeping mission in central african republic has rarely been a moment of peace say since the conflict began there five years ago and the lines of muslim rebels known as the seleka overthrew president his government in twenty thirteen a few months later rebel leader michel djotodia was sworn in as interim president but he was forced to resign after fighting between the celica and christian fighters known as the untied balata continued the un sent a peacekeeping force of poor african union and french forces already there since then cease fires have been signed in violated and all sides have been accused of
