a colossal victory in last month's election but he's failed to form a coalition governments snap election a set to be held in september with m.p.'s voting in the past few hours to dissolve the new parliaments but this is the first time in israel's history that a prime minister has failed. the former governments just stuff their votes then even netanyahu is right when coalition has until midnight local time to secure the support of former defense minister avigdor lieberman's nationalist. party but that's never happened are a force that has more from west jerusalem. it is an extraordinary set of circumstances and has been a very dramatic few hours in the israeli knesset i mean during those seven weeks it was clear that there were problems with forming this coalition and as a yahoo had to ask the president for an extension as he still tried to to get that coalition together but there is priced into these really political systems

a sense that these things always more difficult than they might appear in that usually at the last minute they'll get together and make a deal and that's what's generally happened in the past for the last few days it's been clearer and clearer that this was more than the usual kind of coalition horse trading that the door lieberman was really holding out and making it all but impossible for netanyahu to really get that coalition that governing coalition of sixty five members of the knesset that he thought he had on that election night victory celebration that it was it was clear that that was was not going to happen and when netanyahu walked into the knesset having decided to urge his likud m.p.'s to vote in favor of fresh elections it was really written all over his face the failure but the bruising encounters he's had of the last few days and all of it centering on what to do lieberman who leads

a secular party wanted to happen he wanted to see a bill unchanged that would allow for greater numbers of orthodox israelis to be drafted into the israeli army for national service at the moment most a great number of them have exemptions from. national service his party is against the sort of religion a zation of israeli public life but trying to persuade either the ultra orthodox parties in benjamin netanyahu impending coalition to change their position on that or lieberman change his position on that proved impossible and netanyahu fighting for his political survival fighting against corruption charges which are pending against him has decided to go to elections instead to try to cling on to the top job. well yes the medical barak is a middle east analyst at the royal institute's over international affairs in london he says he doubts a second round of elections will guarantee of it to me for netanyahu. it's going to

be nasty it can be it's going to be vicious because this is a wounded politician that is a completely in unchartered territory that he couldn't get his way he's so used to get his way and to form a coalition if it goes all the way to the was the last minute you still we find this kind of formula to form a coalition to get no is one that is fighting not only for we split ical life but is fighting to stay out of court and out of jail a low would pass in the knesset really good on team immunity as long as is in in the class and it's a general of course to say everyone that is serving in the couple of fission capacity but it was obvious it was his name was written all over this piece of legislation and also to weaken the the supreme court it won't be able to to overturn such a law but it's obvious to everyone that this is undermines the very pillows or

democracy. now there are a new coalesce on capitol hill for donald trump's impeachment after special counsel robert mueller declined to publicly clear the presidents of obstruction of justice and his first comments since concluding an investigation into russian interference in its one hundred sixteen election miller said the justice department was unable to charge a sitting president with a crime in muslim jordan has more. for more than two years robert mueller has not spoken about his investigation into charges russia interfered in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election and once again muller told reporters this will be the first and last time that they and congress will hear from him any testimony from this office would not go beyond our report it contains our findings and analysis and the reasons for the decisions we made. we chose those words

carefully and the work speaks for itself and the report is my testimony i would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before congress house democrats had wanted miller to testify about all he learned during the two year long investigation one legislator implied muller's a potential appearance may not be as important as what he has already confirmed president donald trump interfered in the investigation if muller wanted to exonerate the president from having committed the crime he would have said so instead the special counsel makes clear that obstruction of justice which he found substantial evidence of is a serious crime to stripes at the core of our justice system muller has been criticized for not charging trump with the struction despite new reports saying he had considered doing so the special counsel explained why he didn't under long standing department policy a president president cannot be charged with

a federal crime while he is in office that is unconstitutional even if the charge is kept under seal and hidden from public view that too is prohibited a special counsel's office is part of the department of justice and by regulation it was bound by that department policy charging the president with a crime was therefore not an option we could consider muller also underscored a couple of points he said there's no doubt the russian government meddled in the two thousand and sixteen race and muller did not criticize the way attorney general bill barr handled the release of the final report despite many stories he thought barr had mischaracterized his team's conclusions will trump quickly reacted on twitter. nothing changes from the report there was insufficient evidence and therefore in our country

a person is innocent the case is closed thank you some congressional democrats say the time for impeaching tromp is at hand but the house speaker refuses to go that far we do want to make such a compelling case ironclad cas case that even the republican senate which at the time seems to be. not an objective jury will be convinced of the path that we have to take as a country to be clear moeller did not clear trump of wrongdoing but he also made it clear while he can't hold the president accountable there are others who can do so if they want rosalynn jordan al-jazeera washington. well to cheer them on joins us live on skype from new york he's a professor of law at fordham university school of law thank you so much air for joining us here on al-jazeera first of just clear some things up for us why is it

not possible to see press criminal charges against a sitting president. well i think it is possible it's really a matter of what muller chose to fight and when he chose not to fight there the u.s. constitution does not address this question so when muller today said that the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system that is several leaps of interpretation i think part of what was happening is that mahler didn't want to try and bring an indictment that would get shut down by bark bark bark still could have overruled muller because bar has that you may have a two it's a mistake this is a it's a it's a mistake to say that a president can't be indicted for a number of legal reasons but there we are there you are that's a miller set but if it's a president can still be held to account though not true the job of congress. that's exactly right and that may be what muller was trying to do say day without

saying explicitly i present this evidence to congress because these are high crimes and misdemeanors which is the standard for impeachment under the american constitution he was almost saying that he was basically saying that their constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system everyone knows what he was talking about he was talking about impeachment this press conference today may have had an important audience one or at least an important person he may have been addressing speaker nancy pelosi and the house democrats to try and push them a little bit further towards impeachment without saying so in so many words and do you think this is something which is likely to happen is you think this this appetite for. proceedings i think it's more likely now i think there are many house democrats who are demanding it to happen but i think mahler's statement today gives them something they were waiting for and to demand it and so palosi is having

a tricky struggles a tricky balance she has a number of democrats who are demanding this next step but she has some moderates that she wants to bring along slowly my view is that palosi may be waiting for another shoe to drop. maybe the maybe the tax returns that they get a hold of maybe the bank records and maybe there's something there that scandalous but my concern is that impeachment is necessary to be able to get the records because that's the argument for getting subpoenas so palosi would be wise to see today as muller's intervention and as an invitation start at least a first step you don't have to bring an impeachment vote on day one the first step could be that a committee in the house could start a formal impeachment inquiry and use that committee to bring in witnesses and to get subpoenas and then that could set.
