life we have at the moment. mm. the ah, ah, ah, ah, this is w new live from berlin, benjamin netanyahu. the time of israels prime minister book set severe is as to as his opponents could re, to form a coalition government the news, the announcement coming shortly before midnight deadline and prevented what could

have been is real election in just over 2 years. we go live to jerusalem. also coming up should be long cuz the worst maritime environmental disaster gets worse. a container ship carrying chemicals and plastics that burns for days and bill. this cargo is now thinking an oil spill is a possibility and they are on the road to nowhere in particular. wild elephants take social media by storm after straying from a nature reserve in china. ah . i'm sorry, kelly, it is great to have you with us. it could be the end of an era, israel look set to get a new leader after 12 years with benjamin netanyahu. as prime minister, former opposition leader j like p from the yes. a tid or future party has put

together a coalition of 8 parties from across the political spectrum in the hope of forming a new government. now under the deal and a rotation agreement, hard line, religious nationalist, if tale bennett, would initially become prime minister. this is the man who might lead israel for the next 2 years. natalie bennett has made his political career with provocative statements that established himself to the right of outgoing pm benjamin netanyahu . this is him last year. he a bowl low enough show we will not allow the israeli government to recognize a palestinian state under any circumstances. we will not allow israel to hand over even the centimeter of lanfield to the arabs. this is what we are here for. to guard the land of israel will ship them either. but bennet is also a generation younger than that. yahoo has broken with allies on the religious right on the role of religion in public life. he's also comparatively liberal and gay

rights and other issues. bennett is the son of american immigrants to israel. he made a fortune in high tech before jumping into politics in 2013, revamping the right wing, subtler party jewish home model. he served as secretary of defense, and secretary of education under netanyahu. bennett would bring very little public support to the role in 2019 elections. jemina party received no mandates, and in the most recent round did one just 7 out of the 120 seats in the connected. i think it's a bit of a disgrace to someone who is elected with only 7 mandate. is the person who decides the fate of the country. i think that it's good for is although i'm from the left side. i believe that the new prime minister will unite israel because it is now divided into many pieces. and we need the change. bennett has promised to work for

all israelis, not just his supporters and then shallow because of the lucky government like this will succeed only if we work together as a group, not i, we are not, we will bring back. so we have, we have different web sit day of its foundation, call on the floor, got with them or not leak. on this lemon shallow bennett would have his hands for guiding a coalition that span the entire political spectrum. and israel would have its 1st taste of the post netanyahu era, for as long as it left. and from our last spring and dw tonya kramer who's joining us from jerusalem. so tanya, as we've been hearing the tale, bennett has been described as an old friend. nationalists, what could this potentially mean for the future direction of israel and resolving the israeli palestinian conflict? while he's definitely further to the right then benjamin netanyahu. we heard that

also in the report statements on palestinian affairs on the palestinian state. he's a proponent settlement of annexation of parts of the occupied west bank against palestinian state. but he also has to lead now very broad, a very diverse what has been described as a very diverse coalition of parties that reach from know the hotline religious national. this parties like history amino party to the hard line writing secular parties to centrist and also left thing parties. so he has to keep this rather fragile coalition together. and i think with most various, at the moment are interested in is whether such a coalition will actually work and whether it will last as well for longer time than what you've seen in the past 2 years. in d, the, in the past 2 years, the country has faced for elections. in fact, tell us a little bit more about,

you know, the, the stability now going forward. and what hurdles this coalition is still facing when it has been described as a very a franchise coalition. if it comes together, you know, there are many audiological differences between the party on the, from the hotline right into the center to the left. and also for the 1st time, of course, we also have the support of an arabic party, the party, which is part of the islamic movement in israel, the political branch. this is for the 1st time that we see them also supporting a government. so they will have to come together and some analysts say that they might, tucker, you know, the less controversial issues like the economy. they have to pass the budget, maybe focusing less on issues pertaining to the israeli, palestinian conflict if they have the luxury to do so because they also have many

differences on affairs like as t b, q or religious affairs even. so the other question that is, of course, is still on the line, this clinician needs to go to a confidence, food and the connected within the next 2 weeks. and only then this government will come together and can before and ok. so the time is not over yet for benjamin netanyahu. it's important to remember that he's of course, israel's longest serving prime minister, tanya. what is the country look like without him? while he won't be completely gone, he will be. then if all this comes together, most likely the leader of the opposition, but he leaves a very divided and polarized country. that's what we always heard in the past 2 years. and of course his supporters say this is not a fair deal. they wanted to see him continue or at least go to new elections because he couldn't form a new coalition government and his support this time is up. he has been too long at

the helm of the government 12 years. he also has to trial for several corruption charges. so it's, it's time for someone new to bring this society back together, but it would probably take a long time to heal and to, to come together and to bridge. the differences in w correspond tonya kramer into listen, thank you. and here are some other stories making news. a russian court has ruled to keep prominent opposition activists. andre pupils are off and custody for 2 months. pending trial, the former had open russia, a disbanded pro democracy group was pulled off of a plane bound for pulling on monday. is the latest opposition figures to be detained ahead of elections in september? relatives have gathered to mourn a politician from india's willing b,
