5:03 am
for this attempt to overthrow the judiciary and take control of the position will be thrown away from the table. and we're also asking that benjamin at anyhow will resign and take responsibility for what he has done to this country. but netanyahu's delay came with a price hard line, national security minister m r bank of years. we said his party only agree to the delay in exchange for the formation of the national guard. under the command of ben rivers office. there were divisions within the ruling coalition, some called for uniting behind netanyahu. oh, did you do so overhauled and diffused the crisis? others dug in saying they would not surrender to violent energy and the tyranny of the minority. the far right governing coalition and supporters say they will not have the vote or the state stolen from that. i think it is a tremendous mistake to stop the reform. however,
5:04 am
i can understand because of the heat of the moment and the fighting, and that's going on the as to make a calculated decision. but, but that reform is an absolute necessity for this country to continue in a democratic that left unresolved. the post of defense minister called it was netanyahu's firing of yo of gelato on sunday that brought the crisis to her. oh, as of monday evening, the light had not received a formal dismissal letter. netanyahu has 48 hours to name a successor. natasha name l. jazeera west jerusalem. let's get more on this now. we're joined by dan r bell. he's a former israeli diplomat and scanner at the center for as rainy studies at american university. and he's joining us live from washington dc. thank you very much for your time. do you think that this delay to the reforms will lead to any negotiations,
5:05 am
any compromise between the government and opposition parties are i'm expecting negotiations to begin in the next few days between the representatives of the government are represented of the opposition. however on, you know, these negotiations don't, it's not very promising boot gaps or wide and still be very hard to reach a broad base of agreement over the proposal. and so that we should give it a chance. there is a chance that it would succeed. but then i think her, i would be very cautious and saying it will be there will be a breakthrough anytime soon. is there anything short of scrapping these reforms that would be enough for though, as opposed to it? so among those who oppose it, you have the members of parliament leaders of the opposition that are, that have vowed and therefore delivering on their promise to enter negotiations within the government. on the other side, you have leader as ordinary people,
5:06 am
leaders of the protest movement who are not willing to make any compromise until the proposal is show. and so there is a divide there, and it's going to be interesting to see how that unfolds. the protest movement is not going anywhere and will continue. the question is whether the representative, the opposition, are aligned. though testers would be willing to make any compromises and the protest to say that they're not going anywhere. because the proposed reforms are a threat to the, to the state of israel, to the idea of a democratic israel. and so that's why they said that they can't compromise on this . do you think they have a point that they, they, they all have very valid points. the question is, what's realistic at this point? nathan, you know right now has a 64 seat majority and no said and he's not,
5:07 am
he is not willing to compromise at this point on, on that he's not stepping down. and so the question is, is it realistic to demand is stepping down? i don't know if it's, if it, if it can work, definitely, nathaniel is fractured. the nation is definitely caused a lot of damage. the level of trust and leadership is very low. and i think, you know, the next few days will be critical in determining the direction of where this is going. 64 is very slim majority in a 120 member connect that as intent. mr. bell. you see anyone in nathan, y'all, who's coalition government taking away their support for these reforms? right now there are pretty united behind him. the question will be in the coming days, how there are voices of some invoices that are calling him to soften the proposal to make compromises. those are a very slim minority within the coalition,
5:08 am
and it's not entirely sure whether he need 61 to pass this. and so, so far he has a whether there will be 3 or 4 or 5 that will switch to the other side or just abstain. it's an open question right now, and as you say, the next few days, few weeks, a crucial. do you think that that in the delay could take the steam out of the protest movement? do you think that that's what prime minister netanyahu is hoping for? that's definitely what he's hoping for, but the way i see the protest movement is very energized and is very determined and i don't think they're going anywhere. and therefore, i believe that's what i was hopes are or are just false hopes. they're not, he will not be able to dissolve this protest movement. that's my opinion, mr. bell. it's great to get your insights on the story. we do appreciate it that is that dan, our bell joining us live from washington
