months let's celebrate our independence as a nation and independence misfires. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has run out of time to form a new government putting his political future in question lets you know who's been meeting opposition party leaders in an attempt to secure enough votes to form a coalition president. who will now decide what to do next israel has gone through 4 inconclusive elections in the past 2 years how to force it has more western resulin. benjamin netanyahu spent the last few hours of his mandate the period during which he's officially entitled to try to form a coalition government by making increasingly urgent you might say desperate appeals to fellow right wing party leader naftali bennett to rule out joining a so-called change bloc in the israeli parliament the knesset that wants to see an alternative government not featuring benjamin netanyahu and commit himself to forming a right wing coalition then you know has already offered bennett the opportunity to
11:05 am
go 1st in a rotational prime minister arrangement if he agreed to such a deal however even if that happened there are real doubts that the 2 men could form a coalition featuring the 61 knesset seats required for it to be a functioning stable government equally there are doubts that if bennett joined the change bloc there would be enough seats on that side either so now the next public decision belongs to the president of israel riven rivlin he has 3 days to decide whether to give the next mandate to who is the opposition leader and has the next highest number of seats in the knesset after netanyahu or give it to bennett or simply decide to throw it open to the knesset more generally that would mean a 3 week deadline to form a coalition government and if none resulted from that it would trigger an automatic 5th election all of this leaves that you know in the most endangered position he's been since the start of this 4 election 2 year political crisis however he is far
11:06 am
from out of it even without the mandate he could try to maneuver behind the scenes to try to get a coalition government that favored him he could try to obstruct anyone else from forming one potentially blaming them for leading israel to a 5th election and even if he were forced out and into opposition there's no guarantee that a government that would have to be made a very disparate elements would survive all that long so there would still be the prospect of another that may come back to israel. forces of attack demonstrators not you pointed east jerusalem and stopped other protesters from entering the area where they were seen forcefully detaining people in the occupied shit neighborhood and throwing protestors to the ground there's anger over a court ruling forcing several palestinian families to leave the neighborhood despite them having lived there for decades most of our bug cutie is the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative he says israel is committing a crime against humanity. what's happening now in jerusalem is very dangerous
