9:00 pm
but that, that could potentially be some kind of challenge to it. so we'll, we've got another few very interesting to say the least few days ahead of us. yeah . some last minute twist than 10, which can never be rolled out. so now though it does appear that this new coalition has has come into into government that israel. 6 has a new prime minister of tale bennett and that for israel, the longest serving prime minister benjamin netanyahu is now in opposition. i believe we are going to listen in no things seem to basically be wrapping up there in the connected. how are you just tell us how it is that we got to this point? i mean we've had what for elections since 2019 in israel. how is it that even right wing parties no longer want to see netanyahu in power?
9:01 pm
you would think they would be somewhat pretty much ideologically aligned. yes, but there are all sorts of things conspiring against that results taking place. i mean, if you think back to the 1st election in the seemingly endless cycle of election after election after that 1st election, that the assumption was that yes, exactly, that the right would stay together. that netanyahu felt that he had all of his ducks in a row with his right wing coalition partners that taking him above the 61 seat requirement for a coalition government. but one of those right wing is the party belonging to, i think, the lieberman, who was netanyahu's, chief of staff, he decided last minute that know he was going to jump ship. he wasn't going to support that. and that's what led to the 1st redo election, and then you look at other former allies of his get on saw who used to be in the
9:02 pm
loop. could he set up a right wing party ahead of this election specifically to unseat benjamin netanyahu saying that he could no longer be prime minister of israel? of the time when he had amassed so much of his policy making. and so many of his priorities into his own personal, private fortunes, legal fortunes, harry, i'm going to call you because natalie bennett is now speaking. so let's listen in and tennis prime minister in the future to withhold the last israel and shallow to sales my duty as a prime minister and to prime minister and to abide by the rules of the connecticut. so the above that law, lawyer hooker by the ok, that was natalie bennett,
9:03 pm
the pledging to uphold the loath of israel coming in as the new prime minister of that country. a tumult to a couple of years in israeli politics to say the least their vote. they're getting to that point 60 for the new coalition, 59 again. i think let's be now to harry for said harry, just remind us of how. 7 different idea logically, the parties are better in this new coalition. sure, yes, i mean, we'll just just to finish that, thought about natalie bennett. he's another form, a close friend and life of benjamin netanyahu. himself is now working to unseat him . he may have thanked him at the beginning of his speech, but he's made it clear that it, that israel is being toxic fide by what he calls the divisiveness that netanyahu is,
9:04 pm
has perpetrated. and so that's a key reason why we have come come to this point that so many of netanyahu's allies personally within the connect it he's, he's retained a lot of his support outside in the public at large. but within the capacity is alienated so many people that we've seen these, these members turn against him, at least on this very, very slim margin. as for the change block, that the new coalition, you're right. it really does run the gamut of israeli politics to some back to strength that it shows that there is, will enough, at least to get to this stage and to try to start managing a company. country start governing a country that's been without proper governance in its terms in the constituent parts of its make up. they say that the really israel has been languishing without a proper budget without real attention to the,
9:05 pm
the key issues that it requires tackling for more than 2 years now. and so that's why they'd come together. however, it does represent the far left in merits in is ready times at least in the merits party, the more traditional, less centrist left in labor, this new new ish, yes, or 2 parties sort of center center, right? and left is depending on your definition of le paid all the way through to get on saw. and bennett, who are very much on the right further to the right on some issues than benjamin netanyahu. and all of it facilitated by for the 1st time a palestinian israeli party in the shape of the united arab list led by months or bus. he was to some extent legitimized in the, in the eyes of the right wing. and his right at least by the fact that he was also having talks with benjamin netanyahu, when he had the potential to try to form a government a coalition after the last election. and so the very fact that he had those talks
9:06 pm
meant that it was no longer really viable for us to criticize his being part of the makeup of an anti coalition. i mean, of course he has tried, but the response is when you talk to him, why can't we? and so now there is this very, very broad ranging coalition. to some extent, it will be glued together by the fact that netanyahu is reading against it. so hard and that he is vowed to be the leader of the opposition. he's vowed to try to bring it down and come back to power sooner than you think is what he said in his speech earlier in the day. and so the threat of that could, in some regard, keep them together despite the obvious differences and contradictions within their makeup, ideologically, on the, the other branch of that is what they've decided to do, which is really try to leave alone. any radioactive political issues, not the elegy that they might have, that would contradict the other and try to be more of a sort of almost technocratic, managerial style government, which obviously leaves major issues such as the palestinians. just put to one side
9:07 pm
and progress such as it was, it hasn't really been under netanyahu. and especially facilitated by trump and recent is, is on ice potentially again, because of the, because of the mutual contradictions of this government. they can't really left wingers and right wing is come to a reasonable acord on how to approach an issue is difficult as a conflict with a colostomy and so it may well just languish again. what they're selling though, is that a domestic israeli issues, they will be able to get on with a job in a way that hasn't happened because of the medical status in the last couple of years. right. thank you very much for that. harry force it. benjamin netanyahu has been israel's longest serving prime minister in total. he was in the job. 12 years natasha named takes a look back at his political career. the benjamin netanyahu, the last 2 years in office, have been extraordinary, even by the standards of
9:08 pm
a singular politician. he's been in a near constant multi front battle to stay in power, but it's a fight he's lost, at least for now. the pressing motivating concern is his trial on corruption charges in 3 separate cases. his strategy was that it would be easier to fight in court or circumvent through legislation if he stayed on as prime minister. the charges which he denies center i manipulating the media in the interests of his public image. all of his roles. prime ministers may be, with the exception of reflection, mere and relatively recent decades have become convinced that without them israel is lost and the 10, you know, so much of that in mind of that mindset and therefore began to, to believe that all means could and should be used to the end of keeping himself and path newton. yahoo is israel's longest serving prime minister with
9:09 pm
a 1st term in the late ninety's followed by a 2nd period in office starting in 2009. early talks with the palestinian leadership were replaced by an ever more open strategy of cementing the occupation, expanding settlements and pushing off the idea of a 2 state solution. his view of the palestinians has always been a racist view. one that is based on control and domination and crashing the palestinians with a long term commitment to establishing or superimpose invasive on all of historical palestine. and here's what we got for netanyahu. iran was the main threat. securing america withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. a major priority, former us president donald trump delivered and much more a u. s. embassy in jerusalem. recognition of sovereignty over the occupied golan
9:10 pm
heights, and in 2020 us approval of a partial israeli annexation of the occupied west bank. in the end, annexation was paused for normalization with arab muslim states. this day is a pivot of history. it harolds a new dawn of peace. but then last month, a short, brutal war with her mos in gaza. for a time it seemed it would splinter the anti netanyahu forces in parliament. but as the seas fire held, the coalition reformed at desperation, sat in the cobbler came him shell. it's more than this don't form a left wing government. such a government is in danger to israel, security, and future god. lucky minnie. these last 2 years have seen netanyahu dragged into court and for now out of power,
9:11 pm
still ahead of fight to stay out of jail. and these alive pictures from outside of the connecticut where people have gathered for this momentous stay in israeli politics for israel, which has seen israel's longest serving prime minister benjamin netanyahu. now in the opposition. and you prime minister and that's totally bennet coming to power under the current deal. he'll be prime minister until 2023, and then hand over to you. i la pete for another 2 years. assuming this coalition, last that long, let's speak to l. g. there is senior political analyst, my want to shower, who is in paris, mar one. what's your take on these developments? a new coalition government, a new prime minister. well, i just heard you just earlier saying how this came about after 2 years. and that is so true. and so it's just simply fired for our viewers around
9:12 pm
the world because we keep here names like sod, bennett, and, and so on, so forth. let me just put it this way, can, is right. it has had a family feud. the last 2 years and this has been going on. so for cross elections . and now basically the kids have taken over the house. they have basically kicked out the parents mother the father, whichever you want to call them, which is prime minister nathan. yeah. i mean it was like a scorpion, i've always fed on many of those heads of parties that basically worked for him or served with his cabinet are now like almost like a spider spider. have decided to devour their mom. so in a really political maneuvering there were able, after 2 years of hard work to get rid of nathan, you know, and so now he's and the opposition. what's important about this, that it is, once again, it's a family. if you, it's
9:13 pm
a nasty few. it's basically not the family and so many ways they israeli politics. but there is no logical differences despite everything we hear from ethan and bennett, from the prime minister, the x prime minister and the future, or the present prime minister. there are no good article differences. these are basically belonging to the same right wing zionist family. the differences between them have been personal vindictive and probably the most surrealistic example of breast. and that's just a very important thing. what our viewers around the world to remember that this valley bennett only 2 years ago could not pass the threshold to enter into government to enter into the connection. i'm sorry, his party could not even muster 3 percent. today, he is prime minister. why? because the siblings, you know, the other parties in the can asset for sure. eager to get rid of nathan, you know,
9:14 pm
that basically they come to him with so many a few seeds for administer. so that they could hold this kind of coalition and push my one what happened between natalie bennett and benjamin netanyahu because i wasn't, wasn't been at sort of his protege. and now he's is rival. absolutely. that's why i called him and his and his and his coalition partners. i called them nathan. yeah . nathan. yeah. they are really sort of you know, copies of nothing, you know. ready they have the sin emissions and it was about time that for them to become leaders are sort of him. he served more than any other prime minister. in israel history. you saw a lot for high firms. so offense, it was about found for the kids to take over the house, want to he basically life to them like he like israeli is like you like to the
9:15 pm
americans like he like so many people. he's basically been called cereal lion and they still betrayed an a number of times him sod wasn't nick with a less than also a p. they're all just like to. and clearly the more the most was like towards his, for my partner in the government who again he like to in order to make sure he does not become partners at himself in some sort of an alteration between the 2. so for most of these kids are, you know, the younger generation, it was really there's, they feel that the old man now has lived and has ruled enough. and that was signed for them to step up and to take over the really, how delicate is the timing for this coalition? i mean, the dust is barely settled and gaza. yes. you know, i think what a lot of our viewers in the world probably don't,
9:16 pm
don't pay attention is how much is this visit with israel and not busy at all with a sinews, which is incredibly paradoxical because we have 70000000 jews rolling over occupied 7000000 persons repressing them in various ways and means what they but they hardly figure in this sort of setting. so just take from sample bennett speech and that the new speech distracted didn't talk about palestinian rights senior states. ready or. ready for the future with the palestinians or future senior territories. the for now, but mostly about how he kept his rep security because of the ron. and then it talk about why is right under his government will probably continue the illegal occupations. illegal sacraments in the occupied by civil gavers. but the idea of future negotiations be sparse. all of that is kind of left aside. and i think one of the interesting things that i'm just reminded of now as i speak to you because again, you spoke to the fact that even when it comes when it came to the
9:17 pm
vote just 2 minutes ago, the fact that they couldn't get it right 6159. that should give you a very interesting review where things are going because this coalition is so fragile, but even just one abstain. it almost almost would have left me back. and so now we have 6, that gives 15, i'm missing past, but what about the next project? so the question about the questions of confidence within the correlation, we probably going to see much of that in the few weeks and months. all right, thank you very much. for that, my one, bashar there for us in paris. let's bring in the key elder, who is a political analyst and column, is that the israeli daily news paper, how ritz he joins us from television by skype? i think for joining us. what's your take on the situation that definitely been it's
9:18 pm
you prime minister finds himself and now he is the prime minister. but leading a very tenuous coalition, i think that this is the coalition of boxes. it is actually standing on a very thin pillar and the name of it is benjamin antonio. let's do that. and you know, the more that we leave who takes some time to deal with legal issues. and he allows someone else for me to take over 3 for one year. how long would it take for bennett and see pressure on them to move from alliance. weighs the less merits in and go back to the metro allies because then it was much
9:19 pm
closer to joining us. no, because he was so far is this is danielle. he came from and esther loosens of the coach. and if he just, this is the other part. he says the government is putting it in an existential strength. they will not then it will not be able to. busy be the one from the nuclear bomb. so it is so dangerous was why don't you step done? why bob is asking him to allow someone else an extremely when it negotiate the disease. and the reason that we don't seen as i'm slowing in, please, because miss danielle was not willing to be even what luck
9:20 pm
be an open or prime minister and be from it because what he has in mind and this is what makes people feel that enough is enough that he is always concerned about his personal future building himself. i'm going to jail and i want to ask you, you sort of said, you know, people feel enough is enough. there have been for elections since 2019 you to real political instability. how do every day as radio feel about this development about having this coalition in power? i would say that they is sweet and sour. taking myself, you know, i, i never tried to hide my resentment of them. you know,
9:21 pm
he's ideology, he's conduct his 1st analysis. but you know, i'm not going to say, but no, i'm talking to you came i seen that and the story day. but to tell you that bennett as 5 minutes, that is my ultimate dream was be far from true. and i think people from there i feel they feel even betrayed by benefits. that for the 1st time he goes was he joined the hour an hour. busy about the or unknown zine, this policy and people from the left to know that bennett is not going to remove any settlement, or even one of those we are very concerned about his relationship with the binding, the ministration. so you know, see people really,
9:22 pm
there are some people very happy because of the person that resent them out because they feel that there is a you don't. yeah. well that's why it's very nicely and leave it there for now. thank you. a kiva elder. they're political analyst, which takes us to tell levine where as you can see, protest is, are celebrating, i guess, rallying against netanyahu for months, there been colson to resign over his indictment and corruption challenges. stephanie deka is there for us live staff. what's happening there? ah, well, there's a bit of a party at the doing now. my up. no, it wasn't. about an hour ago. there was a great plan waiting. the breaking and i think the trainer for that people
9:23 pm
know. 2 as you've been talking about the challenges of this go back that you have an opposition opposite. really the one thing that united that was to get rid of benjamin netanyahu prime minister people. but standing out here is that it is not been 12 years what they're saying now is because you have to show initiative from the center to write that there may be even though perhaps it would be difficult to get things done. you can hear me call, but this is what they're saying that perhaps not my name mentioned reading barbara for now and now thank you very much for that step. we could hear you just it does sound like yeah,
9:24 pm
celebration to say the least. let's bring in mike hannah ah, who joins us now from washington. d. c. mike, who, how is this you correlation this new prime minister likely to be received in the us by the what else? well officially, up until this point, the white house and state department has brushed up any inquiries with a comment about not commenting about domestic processes and other countries. but there's no doubt within the binding whitehouse that they will be relieved that they is a different israeli government. to deal with joe biden had a long and somewhat rocky relationship with benjamin netanyahu, that stretched over decades reaching its lowest point, when biden was sent by then president obama, to strike some kind of relationship with nathan yahoo! when he arrived the nets and ordered a settlement process to get on the way in the west bank, which was seen as a direct snap to bite. and i was there at the time and overheard the very loudly
9:25 pm
raised voices in argument deep behind the walls of netanyahu's office. but certainly the binding administration has a very different policy from the previous one. it's policy is rooted in something greater than could political domestic issues as was trumps. the bite and policy is rooted very strongly in its prime aim, which is restoring some form of relationship with iran. only in the course of the morning we heard from the secretary of state saying that it was the us that created this pending crisis with iran by stepping away from the nuclear deal that can and need trump. so the bite and ministration cease is a priority. getting that nuclear deal back on track. now why i'm mentioning this is that the nets and yahoo administration was vehemently opposed to that feel. this new coalition government, we don't know which way they going to go. and we know natalie bennett's opinion.
9:26 pm
however, the view from the bite and administration would be that any government, regardless of its composition, would be preferable to dealing with benjamin netanyahu at this particular point. of course, and their former us president donald and with israeli prime minister netanyahu, they were very much aligned a lot. got a lot of things done. not least moving the u. s. embassy to jerusalem. very controversially. how much room to move? does this president does? joe biden? have in terms of the relationship with israel, how sweet does he need to keep that relationship with this new prime minister? well, 1st of all, let's be clear that joe biden, throughout his career, has continually expressed his fullest support for israel. he uses the word love in relationship to israel when mentioning it, but at the same time, as i said,
9:27 pm
that the administration parties are very different under the trumpet administration . for example, you had a mixture of self interest and political interest. trump very concerned about the israel supporting base within his political constituency, in particular, the evangelicals, and certainly as well. there were personal reason the point person for dealing with the is middle east. israel issue was jerrod kush now known for his outright support of israel and also the absolute bias that he has the sized in terms of dealing with the situation basically excluding the palestinians. you mentioned there as well. those move taken by trump, the moving the u. s. embassy, the recognition of israeli, suffering t up in the north. all these type of issues, a complete planning guide to any form of settlement activity. now you've already seen signs from the, by the administration, that this is going to be very different,
9:28 pm
while continuing to support israel biden is likely to turn up the screws a great deal. but that being said, his priority, as i said, remains the iran issue. he's keeping his eyes firmly on that. for example, there's going to be no attempt to reset that. take the torment, palestinian israeli peace process. it's very clear the bite and administration doesn't want to engage the israeli government on 2 fronts. it wants to focus on iran, and it's going to bring every bit of pressure to bear on the coalition government to fall in step. but what the us once and what us once and what it sees that the national interest and what it see that in the interest of peace in the middle east is restraining iran's nuclear ability. and by doing that, it says it has got to get iran inside the tent, not creating havoc outside. and israel is a critical player in terms of achieving that end. just finally,
9:29 pm
mike and we know obviously we're talking about us israeli relations, but i'm wondering from a more sort of macro perspective, how important is foreign policy to the biden administration coming in from trump? america 1st is foreign policy and looking outwards, still important to buy them that all. oh, absolutely crucial. this is the complete summit. so from the previous administration, the america, the 1st policy that trump. so it was said to us we followed by then had stated repeatedly as have members of his cabinet such as the secretary of state as that this is a reawakening of us involvement in the international community. we've seen the comments made at the g 7 in recent days, joe biden, making very clear in his opinion that america is back, but it's not the u. s. being back of the us, picking up again on old alliances that were absolutely shattered in the trump years
9:30 pm
. this is a very important thing to the, by the end of ministration. it's these international cooperation as a critical way in which to achieve a, a global, a security. but also importantly, it doesn't see, this is something just outside the united states that sees it as a national policy issue within the united states. achieving some kind of agreement with iran in the bite and will do is not just getting a deal done. it is also creating a greater degree of security within that region, globally, and creating a greater security for the united states. so bite and effectively things from the outside in rather than the way trump thought, which was very much just in the inside. i think that my candidate for us getting us the american perspective from washington d. c. let's go back now to a harry force it who is standing by for.
