and so he, by his very attempt to gain his own government, actually bought the arab israeli political parties into the fold. and you know, whether he likes it or not. now they, they help the pose of linda bonnie in the have to go back to your points of shelf life or longevity. the numbers at the moment really, really don't stack up in favor of mr. bennett, having a long shelf life. do they mean he's got what? 7 out of 120 seats in the connex. it is that why certain politicians are already putting on full display for everyone to see around the region. the tensions that already exist. point number one and point number 2 is that why people are already sickening saying, look, we will keep it focused on domestic issues. we won't go near the big red hot international issues. i think it's important to recognise this is essentially an 8 party coalition. and the only thing the parties were able to agree upon is the removal of benjamin netanyahu from office and on virtually every other issue, particularly the more important issues. there is no consensus whatsoever. so the question really become

do you think this could encourage more political engagement among arab israeli? however, the governing goes well, however, this coalition goes, i mean, arab israeli or minority, but they're not, they're not tiny minority. what 20 percent. so do you think this might encourage more political engagement in decades to come? you know, or just for the sake of, again, some more nuance. the sort of israel is considered an insult to because out of his rainy's, they'd like to see themselves as, as pinions belongs to the palestinian people and indigenous population in palestine . that's how they like to be called. busy that's how they like to be seen as some followers within an israeli find the state now be that as it made it to make up 20 percent of the population and they actually have been quite politically involved. it is right except that they have not been as palestinian nationalists or has been a spin in different logical perspective. they have not been in israeli government, not, not when they were outside designers parties. there was a small minority. they were in

we have pro pro settlers and one side, arab israeli is on the other. well, i think this is really the main question. also the main concern for many israelis, one to see a functional government after all, they haven't seen such a government that works well together in the past 2 years. at least. as you said, we have on the one hand hartline writing parties. you know, some of them and the issue of the israeli palestinian issue pro annexation of pro settlements against the palestinian state. and then on the other side you would have the small left being merits party, which is in favor of a palestinian state. just one example, you know, if the ideological differences, this government has to tack a know some, and then this believe that they will 1st look more at the, you know, the issues in internal issues like the economy. they have to pass the state, the butter. they have to look at sosa, economic affairs, but of course, we don't know whether they have the luxury of not dealing with such issues and they have to overcome the differences to make this govern

but tanya, how can this coalition work to get that we have pro process less than one side, arab israeli is on the other? well, i think this is really the main question. also the main concern for many israelis, one to see a functional government after all, they haven't seen such a government that works well together in the past 2 years. at least. as you said, we have on the one hand hartline writing parties. you know, some of them and the issue of the israeli palestinian issue pro annexation a pro settlement against the palestinian state. and then on the other side you would have the small left wing merits party, which is in favor of a palestinian state. just one example, you know, if the ideological differences this government has to tackle some and then just believe that they will 1st look more at the, you know, the issues in total issues like the economy to have to pass the state departure. they have to look at social economic affairs, but of course, we don't know whether they have the luxury of not dealing with such issues and they have to overcome the differences to make this govern

israel's new coalition spans the left to the nationalist right and, for the first time, an arab—israeliali bennett now has to lead the broadest coalition in israeli history, and that could make it one of the most unstable. he has his work cut outjust to govern. they have a crisis to deal with. after israel's recent war with hamas in gaza and violent division inside israel, fears are rising of new tensions again. but this is a moment of israeli history, as the throne is pulled away from the politician some called the king of israel. tom bateman, bbc news, jerusalem. our correspondent yolande knell injerusalem says this is a hugely significant moment for israeli politics. well, this is a really momentous day in israeli politics, james. first of all, we have, clearly, the end of the era of benjamin netanyahu, at least for the moment. he has spent 15 years as prime minister, he is the longest—serving prime minister that israel has ever seen. and then on top of that, what makes this also really historic is the fact we have this very unlikely coalition, voted in by a razor—thin margin. the vo

just you wait 10 years from now, arab israelis may not have equal rights, but every single one of them will have access to a soda stream. so that's something of course one group of people not getting any voice in israel's or any other government is palestinians in the west bank and gaza or split 2nd. they were getting what felt like a voice news, media. but israel pretty quickly found a way to make that voice a whole lot quieter. nevertheless, the images of giant settlers pushing palestinians out of their homes while their idea backers indiscriminately balm and brutalized children have been very hard even for americans to unseat. and now that bennet appears to be abandoning any pretence to a 2 state solution. we're going to have to start considering what our role in that part of the world has really been about. it's time for americans and israelis to take a long, hard look in the mirror at the blood thirsty gina phobic ideologies at the hearts of both of our nations. it might be an especially hard look to take. now the trump and baby aren't in the background. dancing around to distract

is it for an arab israeli party to give a de la this is blessing. well, it is historical you did have in the past palestinian israeli parties who did support for example. they were being government because of the, also a cause in the also negotiations with very specific issue. they gave their support, but to actually have a party, which is this really considered and they slammed party by listed in israeli. that turned out to be the king maker is quite exceptional and historical in israel. i mean, throughout the day we have heard, leaks, we have heard different, you know, statements on the different parties. they were ups and downs, everybody's speculating if it was going to work or not until a couple of hours ago, abutment went through our best router. came out saying that he had actually signed that piece of paper. that mandate a year left the to form disco, alicia government, and from there things went very quickly as we understand it. actually that signature happened in the presence of natalie bennett. and pete, it is a very historic moment. but

i guess that an arab israeli party has supported a coalition government. how significant do you think this is what it means? the arab israeli is and of course the palestinians. well, it is very significant. i mean, in the fifty's and there are the 50, there were actually coalitions by the agricultural party then thought under my pie . but it was never really as prominent or had determining as this time around this time around their lives party. really bad, bad around and, but was able to basically make this effort for bennett and the speed basically flow and really go, you know, all the way all almost along the way. you know, so it's very good. and that sense now we don't know what kind of deal they have made. there was no joy, there are blessed with the bad. we know that the want security service, they want a lot of things of israel was it? how can it can be citizens? but we don't know what kind of a deal they what they call the. yeah. and we know that natalie bennett support settlements annexation to some degree in the west bank side. this already expose

sitting alongside an arab-israeli party and a far-left party, all united in wanting to see the end ofme minister. but that might be where they end, where they can see eye to eye, and it will be very interesting to see what sort of policies they can promote if and when they do come into government and that is also a big obstacle because they are not yet in government, even though they have managed to form this coalition. what happens next, they have to pass a vote of confidence in the israeli parliament, and that will happen on or before june 14th. that gives prime minister benjamin netanyahu time, him and his allies time, to convince members of coalition to drop out. they only need a handful of votes for it to crumble. he's been tweeting all day at these members, trying to convince them that they need to remember their past statements. he's been warning that this is going to be a left-wing government, saying it will be a threat to israeli security. there is the sense that this government may be sworn in, in the next new days, but when it comes to benjamin netanyahu, the ultimate survi
