is benjamin netanyahu is telling the israeli prime minister has failed again to form a new government and his future will now be decided by the president what happens in israel if the political deadlock drags on this is inside story. welcome to the program. 2 years and full elections later israel is still no closer to having a government prime minister benjamin netanyahu missed a deadline to form a coalition by midnight on tuesday his opponents now have a chance to end the run of israel's longest serving leader. much of the impasses

jueteng netanyahu has legal troubles many allies say they wouldn't work with a prime minister who's on trial for corruption from western harry force it takes a look at the options to break the stalemate the time may have run out on benjamin netanyahu officially mandated period to build a coalition government but that doesn't mean he's going to stop anytime soon for all of this is like a political chess game in one respect at least it differs neither side has to stop playing just because their own personal clock has stopped ticking indeed we saw that during netanyahu is mandate when the opposition leader was doing everything he could to coax across the right wing political leader naftali bennett on to his side to change block trying to get together a coalition to oust netanyahu from power he offered naftali bennett the option to go 1st in a rotational arrangement as prime minister that's something that netanyahu has also offered to bennett and he's piling on a huge amount of pressure against him saying that it's his failure to commit to

a right wing government that means that one has not yet been built that if he did so there would be defections and they would get across the line to the $61.00 seats required in the israeli parliament the knesset there is also some pressure from within its own party with at least one m.k. member of the knesset saying that they would not be happy to join lockheed in what would have to be a very broad left right coalition to oust netanyahu the greatest pressure the remains on netanyahu himself this is the greatest peril he's been in since the start of this political crisis but if anyone knows how to play the game right up until the last minute it is him and the final whistle has not yet been blown how the force it for inside story west jerusalem. and let's bring in our guests in west jerusalem gil hoffman chief political correspondent of the jerusalem post from london you'll see michael berg a senior consulting research fellow at chatham house and in tel aviv gideon levy

columnist at herat snow welcome to the program let's begin in west jerusalem 1st with gil hoffman is this the end for netanyahu or are we going to see yet another election in israel. for the time being it's the end for newton you know as prime minister i believe that a change of government is going to be formed unity government will have israeli politicians from the right to the left running the country together and it's a gallop the opposition leader and i hope that he could bring the government down and make a political comeback he's 71 years old his father died at the age of $102.00 there's no politicians inside his own party who have the courage to try to bring him down so the only thing that could really end this now is political career is a conviction in a court of law and he is on trial but that trial does seems to have been going on for many years it hasn't come to a conclusion he's beat he's won or at least run full different elections in the

last 2 years he keeps fighting back and we can't write him off this quickly shalit no you absolutely cannot write about this quickly and he think it happened in a trial there'd been some suggestion that he would get a bit bed of kind of figure from within his likud to run the country while he works on the trial and then come back he chose to keep on fighting instead and try to remain prime minister he's banking on yeah i repeat enough doubt he bennett not being able to form a government together the centrist and right wing leaders together maybe it will work but i don't think we're going to 5th election in tel aviv gideon levy we've talked about this on the show the full the fact that netanyahu success isn't necessarily down to benjamin netanyahu it's down to the fact that he doesn't really have a credible opposition is that the case still. hate is the case but you know in order

not to have many poor a position it takes or so some kind of all the qualities for the leader him senate i would argue is my friend before that there will not be 50 elections as it looks right now you know how it's afternoon in israel maybe in the evening could look different but right now 50 elections is the most probable possibility as i don't see any other tentative government was or the respect to the unity government to yodel a p 2 enough that it bennett i don't see them having can but there are the why do you see a 5th election surely i've been to her of covered many elections many times i've seen the frustration that israelis have and actually a lot of people when i was there last said to me if there's another direction we are just going to vote for benjamin netanyahu one an end to this we just want a government but that doesn't seem to have happened why do you think they'll be a 5th election. for the same reason why there were 4 selections

server elections and 2nd elections because we are in a deadlock because israel is divided now into 2 camps and only 2 camps one came which is the meiers that the meow and then the other camp who makes him as a demo on much more than he deserves by the way and both camps are not ready to compromise and as long as he will be in the game we will remain in this deadlock and it's very bad news for izzard's politics it's bad news also for the left it is that who is not capable of creating any ultimately not personally and not they do roger to the. you know again london one of the defenses one of the key defenses benjamin netanyahu has had over the last few years he's often sold himself as the one man that can defend israel and the international community and sell them to the

international community and particularly he trumpeted relations and i use that were deliberately with donald trump that's gone away now there's been a change of government and the us do you think israelis have taken that to heart you think they've taken a look at then you know him gone actually he's not quite a friend in the international community that we thought or do you think this is a purely domestic thing and that's why we're in a political deadlock when i think you either should look at the results of the last few elections is a very strong base and these bases. and you know if you have no there is a division but it goes beyond division into 2 camps i think wish him the stems the know the vision that was supposed to turn you know as long as it's convenient there they make it that you most look if an early i don't think you read be done to these 100 into i think reality she sing well i liked snick and you know if

this twilight might there could be a bit longer it might depend on what happens in the quote. of the day i think i mean the man that he. phoned government is moving to someone else i think we see a new thing now i mean can you movement seems like all it takes and i think yes you know it's yes it's achievements along the years but compared to the damage that is inflicted on the country in the last 2 years the who are pushing to this vision depôt who listen i think they may need more of all these and understand that this is a time for change gideon levy do you think that's right you think he has created damage and destruction to the image of israel and that's why people that's why you're in a deadlock again. i totally understand your says concern and there are concerns of many many israelis but by the end of the day i see there was also

a lot of exhilaration about the damages let's take for example the democrats just to israel as the more corsi everyone is complaining looking deed to the damage the poor old who rule of law and who democracy but israel is a very weird democracy because it's a democracy only for jewish citizens so imagine yourself in south africa in apartheid south africa someone is damaging that the muck received there is its object a pastor piece it is it sucked at them it no because by the end of the day it is a partial democracy so if you damage it or not it's not so freight what is great is the effect that is he's not a democracy but then a puppet state and therefore i cannot share those concerns about that than young destroy destroying israel as them ocracy. kill hoffman where we at right now we've

heard so much about various kingmakers not only bennett one of the opposition leaders we've heard of months or about an islamist leader from the is connected to the joint these people were supposed to come to the rescue and give you a government that hasn't happened other and he can make his left. absolutely months or a boss is still a king maker and he's a fascinating one month 0 boss is the result of they were ham accordance abraham accords took the thesis that the pallor that the arab world does not have to wait for the arab israeli conflict to be solved the israeli palestinian conflict to be solved now before reestablishing ties with israel and if the train at morocco and the united arab emirates can have relations with israel and monsoreau abbas said so can israeli arab citizens the israeli arab citizens weren't part of the israeli political establishment they were elected to the parliament but never part

of the government and he's about to change all that and you know return for asking for things to improve the everyday life. the average israeli arab citizen their infrastructure the roads their education and that's something that even the most right wing government could agree to not talking about. the palestinian issue at all. do you truly believe that given that if he doesn't deal with benjamin netanyahu a lot of his own base ones who are about his own base are going to say that you just have to deal with the devil we call the view again do you truly believe that he can do this. iran that's what they voted for they knew what they were voting for they knew that they were voting for a man who is willing to cooperate with netanyahu or with anybody else who's stood up to different politicians across the political spectrum and said i'm going to care for my citizens for the 1st time and not about the palestinians not about the wider world it's revolutionary and it can change israeli politics forever

because now a lot of the other 20 members of knesset the amount of members of knesset that are not willing to cooperate with an arab party is only 5 it used to be $100.00. and this change cannot be ignored and this will allow that change government to be formed which will have been a centrist right wing left wing jews and arabs you'll see bakuba do greet you agree that it's a revolution. it is but i doubt if it can last if it's such a government who lies because at the end of the day it will and i think it's an interim government which we govern for we show time until something else is happening because the bottleneck right now and usually politics. then we need that he's going to position there might be opposition within his look was party to it with time to play the same i think they're building look we've changed was

positions there i think it's welcome news that an out of news i understand in ulti join us you won't go off and you can destroy it you know so we think it's softening to do to democracy that you'd like to see. i also think that you can get even worse if there is no immediate change which religion lies and flew on into society to be a way more willing to sit while at the same time with it also because the end of the occupation having said that i don't see any you mention keep making us i think there are so many to make this but i don't if there is anything to in waiting and to meet the needs of any governments for 'd i think it's all just enough to make a difference beyond the very fact that you brought to the end of it and you know. i see this is an interesting scenario that is developing here which i want to put to all 3 of you but let me start with. gideon in tel aviv gideon

it seems to me that whatever government comes across as if netanyahu isn't in it benjamin netanyahu is going to try and bring it down from within so almost any government that gets fought is going to be a handicap is that right do you think that's going to happen. no tide when a show i mean if there will be a new government formed what might make it or will be there impossible the structure of 'd the government itself because you take everyone and you put in one court then you try to cook it into an impossible day because how real they banded when the 1st challenge will be in front of them they can't agree almost anything except of the hatred that would let them know that the only thing which unified them and therefore i don't think that yeah will make them fall they themselves will not survive but you know never say never and we might be surprised

right now it seems impossible to maintain a government even not to form a government but to maintain a government. about half a very careful with my words have but i'm going to be blunt is benjamin netanyahu a bigger threat to his readied backcross say out of power is he going to make problems for any government like um if he's not involved i think is a circular these are the more to the left who feeds and when there is an opposition oh overall enough man because he's main issue right now this is called a no go to state you know to stop to do is call option cold case and total folger usually to do anything and he can actually be very dangerous you know from this opposition trying to guns and knives he speaks and work against you know the wall of slogans democracy against the justice system so no doubt about it and

this is a time actually felice is call it cynical t.v. and others to try to stop him from doing that with all the left any decency in this side of the political mix gil the same questions here is he a bigger threat. what's wrong with having an opposition he's going to be the leader of the opposition from the right he's going to try to paint everyone in the government has leftists as he has been demonized and his competition now in his 32 years in politics it's worked for him quite well and so we are very much a democracy yeah you in fact we're too much of a democracy having 4 elections over the past 2 years and the very fact that the result of it is going to be a government that unites the people from right to left i think shows are more democratic than ever and i think that there's a lot of they can agree on not just hatred of men say yeah really they can agree on

anything except for the palestinian issue they completely agree on security issues they completely agree on the economy they definitely agree that the pandemic is a bad thing and we do everything possible to prevent that from coming back to israel there's a lot they can do but the palestinian issue isn't really an issue within israeli politics right now so is that a thing that is that something that people are going to vote him. you know that's the thing that see the international community has this mistaken understanding that the israeli palestinian issue is the be all and end all in israeli politics when it hasn't been an issue for a very long time we've had 4 elections that are very much about meant to personally and the palestinians just canceled their election that would have been their 1st election in 16 years so that what's going to happen is that the arab world is going to continue to increase its relations and size with israel because it's in their own economic good for their people regardless of the palestinian issue and the same

is going to happen with israeli arabs improving their lives here inside israel people are moving on you'll see how much damage did netanyahu do will how much did he do to make sure that the palestinian issue wasn't an issue in domestic politics is that his legacy. as much as i could take on more from the time you know contribution to chilling people trying to cue the 2 state solution is not only what i think there is almost a cause the book and there the fact that the palestinian issue doesn't play into israel political system doesn't many doesn't play hold in the way that it affects israel it affects he said every single day into the instrument of the if you patient how it affects the easily society what happens to a nation due to a few parties in the parties a little bit love their basic human hides affixes the impulse of what we see like now is a result of decades of folk you british and now it is contribution no doubt and

let's not forget when you ask about the position the contribution of time yells incitements in what happened in 1905 in doesn't see nation of its being so he's alone not only in these years in government but also in a position contributed to this disaster that there is still no 2 state solution to the standing of the film just lotion for the culture 'd between diesel and listing and and it probably will continue. gideon levy what do you think do you think what is netanyahu is legacy is it the destruction of the 2 state solution or is it the fact that he managed to further the law bring the right to real power in his role which one is that you think 1st the pearl of their left was in power or for so many years. and i didn't see the lefties when is a misstep doing much about the 2 state solution so let's not put it on at any hour

so see it started much before israel never air that bing is the who really meant to put an end to the patient or to create an independent viable palestinian state so to put it on his shoulder for the good or for the bed is totally wrong there are 2 state solution was never born and now it's long time. and israelis couldn't care less and the tell you how to put his own contribution but i think that peace nobel prize winner shimon peres built more settlements the netanyahu out so let's not put it on he he's legacy is that he put off the table not only domestically their word lost interest in the but it's the idiots the arab world lost interest in but as stevens the palestinians are totally left with their own destiny right now without almost any supporters this was never the case ever since $1048.00 the arab

world the connotes that everyone ignores them and this might be good news for israel except the one fact that israel remains an apartheid state so it's very dies then we put it off the table and we live in this illusion in this bubble of israel is that more corsi while 15 minutes away from my home there is a military tiring me one of the most brutal tyrant least on earth nothing less but this well let me we are running out of time but i want to ask each of you a question we've got about 3 minutes left so i want you to tell me a prediction if it's not prime minister benjamin netanyahu the prime minister of israel who will it be let's stop and wish wrestling with gil hoffman if you think it might be a. naftali bennett who was nothing else protege is chief of staff is go and proved himself to be very professional in his handling of the pandemic as

defense minister is going to be our prime minister and the world will look at your statement we've gone countries around the world and gone from having a very experienced leader to one less so and the entire region hopes that he'll do a good job you'll see merkel the it's interesting if it isn't if taliban is often being called by. speaking press as being netanyahu lite i think that's what they want to say is he do you think he'll be the next prime minister. it will be all sort of i'm interested in light and i don't think that's what he's really needs but do you think. this system works you might be able to petition we for. the unity thing if invitations it to him to lasts a long time and the muslim who. out of town would be a shift in action get in the video have any other predictions or do you think is after all even as well you know it's very hard to imagine that indeed there are

over a party of 7 seats now became evil 6 because one already declared that it doesn't go is into such a government will become prime minister for what's a coup executive does he represent the family bennett i mean a very very small group of israeli society it might happen but it will not last people might replace him the piedmont and have a bigger base but even let it be that i can't see them really maintaining a government bill for years now when the israelis so divided over the issues. well let's thank all of guests gil hoffman. and gideon levy and thank you to you for saying you can see this and all of previous programs again any time by visiting a website out to sara they'll come and for further discussion as well facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story and you can also join the conversation on twitter we are at a.j.
