8:13 pm
for the 1st time in more than 10 years israel may not have a prime minister named benjamin netanyahu he has failed to form a coalition government twice this year the door is now open for his rival benny gantz to lead but will it be any easier for him to form a government and how my all of this play out this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm richelle carey benjamin netanyahu is the longest serving leader of israel he has been prime minister twice his 2nd stint lasting more than a decade some of even called him the magician of israeli politics but he's but are they able to convince his rivals to join him and form a government that's after 2 elections this year failed to produce a clear winner the prime minister's setback is an opportunity for the leader of the
8:14 pm
opposition blue and white party benny gantz to form a coalition of his own but this doesn't mean netanyahu is out completely so let's take you through what could happen benny gantz will now have 28 days to form a government he'll have to get at least 61 members of parliament or the knesset to support his bid for a majority government afghans cannot form a government and this time the president could then invite anyone else in the knesset to assemble a majority and if that fails elections will be initiated automatically the 3rd vote for israelis this year the blue my party says the time for spin is over and it's time for action a minister netanyahu has playing the party's leader for his failure to form a unity government. in the past weeks i made every effort to bring benny gantz to the negotiating table every effort to establish a broad national government every effort to avoid another election to my sorrow he simply refused time and again if god's will come to his senses and free himself
8:15 pm
from. grasp of lapidus lieberman if he will abandon the idea of a minority government together we will be able to form a government that the state of israel needs so much at this time. bring in our guest in a moment 1st terry fossett has that date from lester. no doubt this is a big moment in israeli politics the 1st time in more than a decade that anyone other than benjamin netanyahu is set to be given the opportunity to try to form a coalition government benny gantz when asked about his prospects on tuesday morning said he was optimistic but added that optimism was a way of life for him baps a recognition of the scale of the task confronting him by most measures even more difficult than that which confronted benjamin netanyahu is efforts and did in failure on monday there seem to be 2 avenues potentially open to benny gantz in his blue and white party forming a minority administration with the assistance of the many palestinian israeli joint list members of the knesset the israeli parliament from the outside but selling
8:16 pm
that to his own party and even more importantly to the right wing party led by avigdor lieberman seems pretty unlikely just as unlikely trying to get likud the ruling party to jettison at least at this stage its leader benjamin netanyahu so that would seem to rule out the prospects of a national unity government between the 2 biggest parties so if guns does fail after his stint it trying to get a government together then we're in the prospects of the president handing the ball to the knesset itself and finding another member of the israeli parliament to try to come up with some kind of a coalition of their own and around the same time making all that even more for you could be the decision by the attorney general as to whether or not to indict netanyahu in 3 separate corruption cases the best prospects that seem to be available to him would be that one of the charges the most serious bribery is downgraded potentially enabling him to convince people to get together into a unity administration or at the very least buttressing his position against
8:17 pm
a legal challenge to his premiership in the run up to what could be a 3rd election in less than a year perry force it for inside story west jerusalem. my let's bring in our guests in tel aviv dalia sheindlin a public opinion x. for and political analyst joining us on skype from acre in northern israel amal jamal a palestinian it's actually professor of political science at tel aviv university and western hoffman chief political correspondent at the true islam post and a knesset insider so welcome to all of you thank you for joining us dalia i want to start with you are you surprised that benjamin netanyahu has found himself in this position. i not all surprised because it was fairly clear from the outset that nathaniel who had no easy path to creating a coalition especially i think when he formed this bloc of parties and. basically
8:18 pm
got the all the right wing parties to agree to negotiate as a bloc as a single unit that was something the other parties don't really count on it was never there was there was never any real reason why other parties especially blue and white would agree to go into negotiations on those terms and so he never had an easy path to forming a government that's in the short term and in the long term i'm not entirely surprised because after all he didn't win the elections his party came in 2nd of course by only one seat but it is part of what looks to be somewhat the cleaning fortunes from the tanya who after a very long time as prime minister his party alone lost about 20029000 votes between april and september elections and if you add on the potential votes that he could have had once his party incorporated another small party called the new he could theoretically have had 39 seats and he ended at 32 and so something is you know not going well for his voters they're starting you know many of his voters or some potential voters are starting to think it's time for the beginning of the end
8:19 pm
that's compounded by him being in power for so long and of course the encroaching legal charges. and i think just the sense you know of many people that the. likud maybe doesn't need their votes that's what i heard some voters say all of these things combined meant that he had a weaker showing this time so because you are era political a public opinion expert i want to put this to you what you had to touch on a little bit what what do you know that was driving the voters this time you know the 1st tier of decision making for the israeli voter is their self identification in terms of ideology when people define themselves as right left or center in israel that is the best predictor for which kind of party they'll vote for so if a person says i'm right wing very high chances that person is going to vote for a right wing party we don't necessarily know which party and that ideology is a whole world view it's not just a slogan and that worldview doesn't change overnight or even necessarily from
8:20 pm
election to election and so you know we often say this election is about it's on yahoo we said it in september we said it in april but that's on yahoo represents a right wing worldview for mitt for the right wing voters there about 50 percent of the adult population and only about 42 percent so somewhat less are either centrist maybe 25 percent and leftwing who are about 20 percent. that's the reason why people will will vote for a center left wing party if they identify a center left wing those things essentially break down based on attitudes toward security and the conflict before anything else and only after that do we see people expressing their feelings about things like corruption or economic issues or rule of law or any other issue that plagues any society but 1st of all it's ideology and ideology is 1st of all around issues of security in the conflict that's almost always the case and of course religion and state is the other i would say 2nd main
8:21 pm
issue that divides the ideological voters ok i'm all how would you say benjamin netanyahu exploits those categories those divisions that dalia justice brought down for us well he managed to do that the very well 'd for a long time. since that was at the nih and he was even he managed to build a coalition i think is is is power is we know because it's going to change but actually because of the legal charges he's facing you know and everybody knows even is why aren't you doing everything in order to suit yourself and the president lovel. and that's why i said he lost of his power in the last looks at them elections. and i think the fact that he was not able to build the coalition. in the polar back to the president means. we began action and you put it in israeli politics. the post and you know.
8:22 pm
each politics so go what of that what is really at the psychological impact when i was preparing for this for this broadcast today i saw several authors that specifically use that word psychological the psychological impact this potentially being the end for an benjamin netanyahu how do you see that what's your analysis of that. so israel's been controlled by medicine now now for more than a decade but 3 years earlier as well and there a lot of people don't remember anybody else being in power there don't remember somebody else being given the chance even form a government and they have to realize that life goes on that we were around for a long time without him and will be have to move on to somebody else who doesn't have the kind of experience that it's in now did israel's a country where people really value experience in a politician and there's no one alive today who has the experience that's now does
8:23 pm
politically and so we're going to have to deal with having a less experienced leader at a time where we're facing significant security challenges especially after donald trump's decisions that he made about syria and netanyahu has been either brainwashing or using remarkable persuasive abilities depending if you look at it negatively or positively the people of israel for many years that he in only he can make them feel safe and that's why people would indeed need to make a psychological adjustment to having somebody else in power and that's especially among the people who are the people most loyal to him as in the out who will have to accept that the person who they've come to a warship in in one way or another won't be there anymore and the reason that he won't be there anymore is because not of competition really but because of his own mistakes that brought himself down dalia you had said that you think that
8:24 pm
netanyahu might be willing to sacrifice some of his coalition right because he's got 55 members of his bloc to retain his position is how how so why do you think that. well i'm not sure if he'd be willing to sacrifice them but members of the block on some level might be willing to peel off one of the possible scenarios and there are so many scenarios at play here is that blue and white is trying to form a government i don't think anybody really prefers the idea of a minority government with the joint lissa porting from outside that's politically very sensitive i'm sure that blue and white will try to tempt some of those parties from the right wing bloc to peel off when it comes to now his own decision making my thinking is that he has 2 major demands that he seems to have really wanted. to achieve which is which are the conditions that he set when he was supposed to form the government one is to keep this big block of right wing parties together and the other is that he continue being prime minister preferably 1st if there is
8:25 pm
a rotation my thinking is that if he has to give up on one of those i imagine that he would be more likely to give up on the right wing bloc if he gets something that you know acceptable in his terms regarding how he can continue to be prime minister despite the fact that the legal challenges are closing in around him it's the kind of thing that the president himself ruben rivlin proposed.
