a rupture among our people who have decided to pause the 2nd and 3rd readings of the bill. in this session of the connection, in order to give time to look at that and reach that wide consensus for as joined the doubly correspondence tonya cramer in jerusalem. welcome back. atanya is as likely to be enough to satisfy protesters. why i think it a pansy you asked freely so to night we had also protesters from the writing or rather from the far right parties that had called you know, to come out. these are the supporters of the controversial traditional overhaul their quality reform rather. and they were, maybe not all of them were happy that there will be postponement at the moment or of this reform. but again, i talked also to opponents of this traditional overhaul, and they have been saying, no, we have other skeptical, and they want to know what this di looked at

a prime minister benjamin netanyahu talked about what this will look like. and we also heard from the a protest leaders of the, the opponents of this traditional overall they have said that they will continue to go out on the streets and to call for protests what has stopped. so what he seen today, you know, this unprecedented genuine strike that has stopped really live in israel to day by the unions. the units have called of their strike. so this will not continue that for most of the opponents, the protesters are purchased, as they have said, this is in their postpone and they will continue. i was sort of reaction, has there been from members of parliament? well i think, oh, well, we have to say that you know, our but that is a compromise or this pause a postponement of the a traditional came together because, but benjamin netanyahu had 1st to strike a deal, you know, with, with his coalition partners also within his own party that he could,

but are in particular with the a far right parties of the national security minister. it am a ben via they came out with a statement just before the announcement that they struck this, this deal to sound that threatened to resign actually. and, but we heard also from the opposition, leaders are very, you know, cautious reactions there by opposition. needa elect, pete, who basically said that you welcome to the condition in the is ready to engage in dialogue if the legislation is fully stopped. and that whether this offer is a genuine, we also heard from the israeli president isaac had so he offered again, you know, to get those leaders together. we understand he already talked to prime minister benjamin netanyahu and to the opposition leaders. he had tried before to find a compromise, but now he says, you know, now it's time to try again. thank you for that. attorney creamer in jerusalem

the delivery marks at major shifting ukraine's battlefield capability and fulfills longstanding german promise. so how big a deal is this delivery is a corresponding nick, commonly near the front line and the ukranian city of commer task. i think this is really important. i was just the front lines couple of hours ago. and before this news came in, and the 1st question for everyone, when they found out that we were from a gym and broadcast was where are the tanks? it was a joke, but it was meant with a lot of seriousness and concerned because people here tell you that this spring offensive, everyone's talking about this kind of last chance as it were for ukraine to really push russia back before the pressure when you crane mounts to get back some kind of negotiations with the criminal for that they really need tanks right now. they're doing pretty well defending what they have, but to move forward any tanks. so this is a massive, massive development. as an economy in chrome, a tor school mark, montgomery is a retired u. s. navy rear admiral and serves the senior director of the center on cyber and

technology innovation and the foundation for defense of democracies. i asked him what sort of difference 18 leopard twos will make. well, 1st thank you for having me. and as you're a reporter alluded to, it's going to make a significant difference. the these tax will be part, i think, of an overall grouping of $88.00 of or 100 tanks that come from germany, poland, sweden, finland, norway, spain, portugal and canada. a lot of deliveries of the left lever to which is absolutely the right tank for ukraine or has it mixes firepower accuracy maneuverability mobility as a long range. as a diesel engine easiest to make, much easier to maintain and say, u. s. and one, a, one abrams, i think that this is going to have a significant effect on the battle field. and i think it was the best possible contribution that germany and many other western european powers could make to the ukrainian war effort. ok, so that's quite a ringing endorsement. and $11.00 does,

is there a sense in which the delivery of the heavy weapons also puts pressure on ukraine from its west and allies. if these don't help you push the rock russians back, then maybe you, you need to sit down and sue for peace. well, i think these are part of a bra, as we think about any upcoming ukrainian offensive in the dom boss region. i think this is part, this needs to be seen as part of a, of an overall western contribution. i think we have to provide a lot of artillery rounds, a lot of guided missile launcher rocket systems. as the gamblers goes on, the high mars lawyers, i think we even have to be thinking about providing attack on the longer range artillery systems. you need to provide that artillery along with this maneuver capability in the text with both of those with both of those in numbers artillery,

including long range attack homes and tanks spearheaded by the lever to contributions with those together. this is the time for ukraine to be able to significantly alter the battle field and improve their position either for a final negotiation or to actually call back all the territory they lost in the east, in eastern green. ok, so the tanks, not the end of the story as far as supplying ukraine goes. russia took heavy losses and they said, when to fighting for back move, do they have the resources to repel a new ukrainian offensive? that's going to be interesting to see because you're absolutely right. they took heavy losses. now they weren't their losses were mixture. they weren't necessarily all front line troops, but their losses were among the wagner group of former prisoners, which obviously weren't something of value to the,

to the russian military. but also many of the kind of scripts that they, they brought on over the last 6 to 9 months. so they didn't take a lot of losses. there's going to be a morale problem for them. it's not just a question with russia resources as resources plus will, and i think they've had significant negative impacts on the morale and the willingness of their troops to fight. so i think that as much as that is the ukrainian offensive is going to push the russians their own failure over over the last 2 months. but more broadly over the last 14 months, i think negatively impacts their forces and makes it less likely to do better withstand ukrainian pushes. good, talking to us very clear. thank you so much for joining us. montgomery. in washington, at least 3 children and 3 adults have been killed in a school shooting in the u. s. city of nashville. a woman entered the school
