10:02 pm
this force prime minister benjamin netanyahu to back down and delay his plan judicial over all the changes have inspired some of the biggest demonstrations in the country's history, with 600000 israelis. turning out overnight after netanyahu fired his defense minister, jo, of glad you said the plans were a threat to israel's national security. or monday flights from ben gurian airport were grounded hospital shops, banks, nurseries, and universities were closed and the 2 largest seaport suspended operations. but it's not clear the delay will pacify protest, as they accused netanyahu of a power grab and say the legislation would give the ruling coalition unchecked power. that no who spoke a short time ago, thus gerber little. well, whenever we have the capabilities to avoid a civil war, we need to go for this. at the same time, we need to give ourselves some time in order to reach a point where we can vote during the 2nd session of the concert. or we want reforms,
10:03 pm
we want balance between authorities and powers yarber. we need to enhance the rights of the individuals to the nationalists and their supporters. we can do this in the canal that alone because we have the people with us. oh, when a tasha can amos following events for us and occupied easter useless? and natasha, of course, how our supporters and detractors of the legislative changes responding to this pause. the opposition says that it will not leave this trees until this judicial overhaul is scrap. it's not enough in their view to simply hit the pause button on the judicial overhaul. and in fact, many of the protesters we spoke to, they say they also believe that netanyahu has put his needs above the country and they want him to resign. as for supporters of the judicial overhaul, they had said all day long that they did not want to see the
10:04 pm
a halt to the judicial overhaul. members of the coalition government had said that it would not happen, but we started to see fishers within the governing coalition. and then of course, later in the day this evening, it was confirmed by netanyahu, that that is exactly what would happen. but that doesn't mean anything but the following, in terms of the supporters of those judicial overhaul in the governing coalition. and that is that this is simply a moment to take a break. the can us, it is going to take a recess on april, 2nd, to observe the pass over holiday and the independence day. it will return on april 30th. and the intention is of the governing coalition to push this overhaul through to a vote netanyahu when he addressed the nation earlier this evening, did say that he was open for dialogue, but members of the opposition would say that they had been urging for a kind of compromise an dialogue for months and it took this massive strike we saw
10:05 pm
today, which shut down airports, border crossing schools, banks, businesses, and sent tens of thousands of people. at least people in the opposition on to the streets for netanyahu and his governing coalition to help the judicial overhaul for now. and i'm not sure what does this delay actually mean for hopes of finding this elusive consensus on these controversial changes? well that's a great question because we're not hearing anything about there being a compromise or that the 2 sides have grown closer together and found some common ground. in fact, it appears that both sides have really dug into their positions. we're hearing the right things netanyahu in his speech to the nation. did say it was time for dialogue and to have unity in the country. we heard the opposition leader benny
10:06 pm
gats saying that the number one person who bears responsibility for the rift in the country is netanyahu, but that the opposition and the ruling coalition bear the responsibility to heal the rift. but really, the question is, how are these 2 sides who have really dug in and remain so divided, going to find a path forward, left unmentioned in all of this is what happens to the post of defense minister. you'll recall that on sunday evening, this momentum to the opposition to this your dish will overhaul gained even more momentum after netanyahu ousted yo of a galant. it's simply because he had express concern due to national security and said that the judicial overhauls should be halted. he has not received an official letter of dismissal. netanyahu didn't make any mention this evening of who might succeed him. we do know that he has 48 hours to name
10:07 pm
a successor. natasha many thanks for that. natasha game live in occupied east jerusalem, who were now joined by our senior political analyst, marin by shower for more. and that's a moment what you think benjamin netanyahu is game plan is here, is it simply to buy himself time to kick the com down the road? is there an overall king strategy to this? i think he's paying for time. now look, i don't think he's expected, but kind of a response from the street. you know, one of the things we know in politics is that arrogance breeds stupidity. and i think that was a stupid move on his part to bulldoze his way into transforming the entire system in israel. basically for personal use for best personal need, he wanted a card out of prison not to be or not to go to prison as an indicted official. and he has made
10:08 pm
a fortune bargain with those fanatic fascists. it among his coalition partners so that they get their way to transform israel into some sort of a theocracy while he remains at the helm of power. i think the st just responded almost spontaneously and naturally against such an abrasive. violation of the basic rules of how you govern as someone who's just been elected right. with only a $64.00 majority out of $220.00. he's basically wants to transform the entire system with one or 2 extra votes of majority. and that is not acceptable. apparently, to the majority of his railways, it's interesting, however, that you call it a, a faustine pat. was benjamin netanyahu aware of the trouble he was getting himself into when he politically went into bed with her? the likes have been given and his party. well, anyway, it's not a coincidence, right? i mean, he was, i want to say pushed, but he certainly found himself in
10:09 pm
a corner because he basically lied, betrayed, or backstab every other partner he had over the past 2 decades. i mean, not a single one of those sitting to day in parliament in the center right. or the right. 4 of them have served under him as bill chiefs or secretaries of his cabinet, right? including the da, let me towards his partner and others who served with him. but he basically lied to them all back, stabbed them, betrayed them. and hence he found himself with no other partner, but the most fanatic and the most freshest in the israeli society. and he had, amid the deal with them, did you think simply delaying these changes is actually really going to make a difference to the people have been coming out night after night to protest. and those both on the right are on the left of these controversial judicial changes, you know, in israel, if you follow, just like in the west, by the way,
10:10 pm
from present, said cosy to president from every one in israel. think, nathan, how's a lawyer? right. but a lot of people support him nonetheless, because if he serves their interest and their agenda, why not let him be a lawyer back? a lot of people support trump, knowing that he's a pathological liar. i think people in israel know that trump is a serial lawyer that he's not just postponing. he's just playing for time. let me read you something at my window from israel's former foreign and justice ministered sepi livery. she has called the crisis a battle for the soul of israel. what does she mean by that? actually this is our, i think this is an important statement, right? ah, but i think she is probably that gets it right towards the conclusion. but let, let me just explain why, you know, it's not a coincidence that the opposition demonstrations are happening until of eve. and the pro government demonstrations are happening in jerusalem some 3 decades ago in the peace process started is i was given a choice. do you want to be
10:11 pm
a settler call in your state with the levine at your heart or you want to be an apostate state? would jerusalem at your heart? you wanna be more fanatic. more religious, more of an occupying power with more illegal settlements. or you want the high tech industry, the secular, tel aviv entertainment, more looking westward towards europe with the united states. israel by arrogance, decided that it wants both. it wants to live even jerusalem, to day 3 decades. later, we are living this contradiction the high, thick in the center of the, of the mayor of the levy, the secular crowds of the levied, including the army, the schools, the universities that medians on so forth are against the neo, much of the rest. the more marginalized impoverished, more the statler movement, the fanatics, a lot of the for specifics for either jews are voting on or supporting nathanael. so israel is split between liberal and illiberal, jewish, and democratic,
10:12 pm
occupying forces, and so called jewish state. and i think it's one that will stay with us for a long time to come do regardless what nathan, how does, because as long as israel is an occupying force, the fanatics will continue to grow and israel, and they will continue to challenge the old liberal askan asi establishment to him, that split continues to create seismic ripples across the country. mountain bayshore us out there, a senior blue clown was made thanks for joining us. a will as cross straight over to our white house correspondent. kimberly how good sir, for view from the united states and kimberly message of course of deep concern of being coming from the white house the last 24 to 48 hours. what's the reaction though to this decision to delay the judicial changes? also posit is being welcomed by the president as well as the national security council because in the words of the white house press, secretary cringe on pierre. what this will do is it will allow the space in order to reach the compromise that the white house is hoping can be achieved with the
10:13 pm
opposition as well as the current government. the. so what the feeling is is that this will really allow for there to be a rethinking of these per folk proposed reforms. now, the feeling of the white house is that really there should be broad support for any changes. and these reforms simply do not have that broad support. in other words, the stripping of the independence of this supreme court is simply something that is not going to provide the checks and balances that the white house believes is necessary and a healthy democracy. and so, oh, what the white house is feeling is also something is being echoed on capitol hill. and we should point out in a divided capitol hill where typically republicans or democrats don't really agree on much. this is one issue where they do see some unanimity. in other words, what we've seen for jewish lawmakers and both the left and the right is deep
10:14 pm
concern about these proposed reforms. in fact, we know more than a dozen lawmakers late last week sent a letter to these reli government, asking them to rethink these judicial reforms of once again to seek compromise as to where we keep hearing and going even a step further than the white house saying that there's concern about this, not just because it could potentially lead to a sort of ad unraveling of democracy, but that also this could lead to an escalation and the violence that we've also already seen ramping up the feeling is this could lead to further instability. and that, that's instability could even exacerbate the tensions that often have been targeted against palestinians. so there has been deep concern. that's for sure. not just at the white house, but also on capitol hill. if you see that, you talk about consensus between republicans and democrats on this, but what leave it's kimberly if any, can the u. s. seriously pull to help broker this elusive compromise in israel?
10:15 pm
well, you know, there are leverage, but the question is whether or not they would be pulled and it's unlikely they would be pulled. the leverage that the white house has that congress has really is the military support, the enormous amount of money that the united states gives to israel on an annual basis. it over a memory memorandum of understanding was signed. i'm under the clinton as well as under the george bush administration. so quite a while ago and starting in 2019 what we've seen is an annual contribution some $3300000000.00 given and mostly military aid to israel every year. it's a total of about $38000000000.00. that's unlikely to be revoked. so that's the lever that could be pulled, but the reason it's unlikely to be revoked are really twofold. number one, the united states sees a tremendous amount of value in, not only military alliance,
10:16 pm
but also in the intelligence sharing that it gets from israel as it's main ally in the middle east. but the other reason and all of this is that the u. s. really sees israel is it's made sort of ideological ally in the region. it still sees it as the most aligned in terms of its democracy. it sees it as having open and free elections. it sees it as having still a peaceful transfer of power. and even though that might see this as having a bit of a hiccup, if you will, it still sees it as being the one country that most matches the united states. and so in terms of pulling that lever, what we see right now is other members of congress really holding their tongues really reticent to criticize what they consider to be their main ally in the middle east. i read to pull any leave as a tool by the sounds of it can be how could lie for the white house? many thanks. still to come on al jazeera. yeah, most military john said makes the most of armed forces day with a show of strength and
