israel. daniel levy is the president of the us middle east project and a former israeli negotiator and explains the level of coordination involved. and ben givers incursion and why he went to the compound. this was with the full coordination of the prime minister's office of the israeli security agencies of the internal security agency, the shin bet, etc. the timing early in the morning. the head fake of oh, it's not gonna happen to day. so 1st of all, fully coordinated with nut ano, 2nd of all, yes, banga, bell extremist, but also to caution not to make this too exclusively about the person have been given. he is a particular brand of extremism, but let's see the thread of continuity here. and the threat of coordination across the israeli political system. let's remember it was just over 2 decades ago that sharon, eric sharon then the opposition leader did a visit to our luxor that led to a major outbreak of several years of violence. let's not forget that this time around. not only was this coordinated with latin, yahoo! but this is probably going to be the modus operandi of the new government, the game of one upsmanship of hard line a

reaction to the international court of justice providing an opinion on israel's occupation as despicable so that's what he called the ben mariam, your thoughts to some of those questions that were asked in youtube. and before i also get to that, i also want to bring up the protests that were happening. i think it's less about what they were processing and we need to look at how the israeli police and authorities responded to these protesters. met is very telling of how israel isn't a part. i met regina that if it was palestinians, we would have been shot. and killed, it wouldn't just have been news of oh, there are protesters. so that's important. i think that's the most important thing about what was happening there. in yellow speaking, he's a killer. he sanctions on the mass, killing a pile of things. so of course you don't think it's despicable every sociopath think that the pickable when they're held on accountable to their fine. but in terms of empowering pilot mean, but we need right now is a disempowering of israel and ideally jeremiah zation of israel to exist. and i think this is the step where we're us right n

problems had been that most center and center right. parties in israel were reluctant to align with the lucas party, which is led by ben. you mean that, you know, and that's in ya is under, is i as on trial or corruption. ah, and is notoriously difficult to work with. they did put together a government last year that just lasted for a year, but only by the expediency of inviting essentially a mother, a muslim brotherhood party of palestinian israeli st to, to join the government was the 1st time this this had happened in israeli history. and that was a very difficult coalition of a parties that didn't agree with one another. and it's lapse last summer in part over the west bank because there's a law that extends israeli lot administration to be squatters from israel on ballast indian land in the west bank that was up for renewal. and the part of the coalition that was palestinian israelis declined to go along with, with voting it in. and so the government lapsed over that they had new elections. and since the center right, didn't want to well less with net. anyhow, he wanted to put together a government he was willing

population has been enjoying in israel and they want to eliminate those expressions of freedom in order to dictate a very radical far right agenda. amy: you also mentioned itamar ben the national security minister, who awarded the soldier who killed the palestinian. he himself was convicted in israel of inciting racism and hatred against palestinians or israeli arabs. >> he was actually indicted with beinpart of a terrorist organization, which is quite ironic because one of the main articles on their agenda is to exclude the palestinian knesset members from the parliament because of so-called big supporte of terrorism. it actually, the only parliament member right now in the israeli knesset that was indicted with supporting a terrorist organization is itamar ben gvir himself. amy: professor rashid khalidi, as we speak, secretary of state tony blinken has just left egypt where he met with president sisi and arrived in tel aviv, will be meeting with benjamin netanyahu, and then tomorrow he will be meeting with mahmoud abbas in ramallah. can you talk about the significance of this trip? >> well, blinken was coming to pour more formaldehyde in the corpse of thewo stat

but the key point here is that mr ben—gvir is a far—right agitator who has, in the last week, become israel'sid he wanted to change the very fragile and sensitive status—quo arrangements around worship atjerusalem's holy sites, and particularly that site known to muslims as haram al—sharif, tojews as temple mount. and so this is being seen notjust by palestinians but by the wider arab and muslim world as a very severe provocation. there has been condemnation this afternoon from saudi arabia, from the united arab emirates, as well as the palestinian foreign ministry. israel has said it won't change the status quo of agreements, that was in the government's founding principles, but already israel's staunch ally, the americans, have said that any change to the status quo they would see as unacceptable. tom bateman, there. the first migrants of the new year to cross the channel in small boats have arrived in the uk. 44 migrants were brought to shore by the border force. the french authorities returned another 80 people to calais after two boats got into difficulty in the channel. last year, a rec

ben is bennett as a manner in which they're actually doing this for the ukranian. and of course, it's further pushes away any attention or any willingness in the west to raise issues about israel's continued repression of the past. and i think it's quite likely that we're going to see continued escalation, continue strikes by these re lease on iran, and more likely than be, or iranian retaliation is really struck against iran numerous times including an area in the years past. that was at a moment where the wrong hands are very nearly seeking to revive the g. 2, a had a hope that it could be revived when a very defensive ration, right? different government in the wrong, that doesn't seem to put as much priority on that. moreover, the likelihood of reviving the agreement is much lower now, and that unfortunately increases the risk of the vanya is striking back at these railways, which in the 2 major escalation division as a whole identified aircraft have had a convoy of trucks near the syrian iraqi border. that's according to the syrian observatory for human rights. explosions were seen in the city of albert come out after the vehicles cross the border from iraq. the trucks were

the state of israel does not accept dictates from anyone regarding it security, but to quarrel with half the world just so that ben gifford, will spend 13 minutes on the temple mount is political irresponsibility, and an incredible weakness of netanyahu in front of his ministers. so let's take a look. what makes ben give us intrusion into the compound, say controversial. as we mentioned, it is the 3rd holiest site from muslims, while use call it a temple mount rivera. it is a possible site where a final temple will be built. they pray at the western wool and any muslims are allowed to pray in the most compound, but many palestinians fear the sights. wisdom identity is under threat by ultra right wing jewish groups increasingly intruding into the site to pray illegally. palestinian groups in garza have spoken out about when give us intrusion into the most compound. that's how i deal with how wanna been a we consider this cowardly attempt by been given a dangerous escalation and approval cation of the palestinians and the arab and muslim nations. this could spoke a religious war in the region. with robin give her ha
