to the agreement he signed with benny gantz yeah so were i doubt i very hard for me to see benny gantz having a serious and fluence many people think he might not be around in politics beyond one or 2 cycles it certainly would be characteristic of centrist parties in israel not to survive for very long yeah i keep i'll tell you the picture i'm getting from all of you at the moment it's well it's a very disjointed one and it actually makes me think that we've got a government here which theoretically represents more of israel than previous governments has but at the same time whilst pleasing everyone it may actually end up pleasing no one there sooty 6 ministers all of them jewish ok and very mascot not a single arab not even a single droops but. i think that this government reminds me of the show me a paris unity government that was completely paralyzed they neutralized each other with this government will have to do now is 1st of all to get over this and excision and that is very easy because if you read we call it an agreement there is a way out of this if we don't get the green ligh

that agreement for a rotating co-equal premiership between benjamin netanyahu and his former rival benny gantz requires changes to israel's fundamental basic laws to allow each mistrustful partner the guarantees they want to insure the deal sticks sunday though so the focus on the other issue whether benjamin netanyahu indicted in 3 separate corruption cases could legally form and lead a new government law requires ministers in such a position to resign but not prime minister netanyahu is both a caretaker prime minister and a candidate for the job leaving room for legal argument during it the justices seem to signal that they would not overrule what they see as the will of the members of israel's parliament not a message popular with anti netanyahu anti coalition protesters who've gathered to watch proceedings in a park lying symbolically between the court and the parliament we don't just want a prime there is a criminal one here it will. come back to the people and it will not be able or any more in a bit longer than a lot of the others as well as a critical juncture in israel's long ru

most controversial policy platforms of benjamin netanyahu as he prepares to join his former rival benny gantz in a unity government going to be sworn in on thursday that policy being annexation of large parts of the occupied west bank the key question is exactly what will the u.s. position on that be because in the coalition agreement it is clear that it is required to have u.s. backing before that can go ahead and there have been mixed messages coming from the u.s. administration on that front so far both men talked about it neither gave very much away now we're about to form a national unity government tomorrow. i think that this is an opportunity to promote peace and security based on the understandings that will reach with the president trump in my last visit in washington in january will get a chance to talk about the vision for peace without some months on from the day that you came to washington when president trump announced that vision for peace when you were there there remains work yet to do and we need to make progress on that i'm looking forward to it after those talks with
