wouldn't have tommy bennett has been st. james. dramatic moments in israeli policy. politics right now, rob, as you say, in the last few moments enough tardy. bennett has been addressing these ready people. he's a well known right wing politician and he may well now be israel's next prime minister. still not completely a done deal, but he has announced that he's going into coalition with another politician from the center last year. the p t. his party actually one more votes than mister bennett's in the most recent election. he said, i'm announcing i'm going to coalition with my friend. yeah, lockheed, he said israel will be back on its path. he said, i will do my best to lead the country. and a very broad coalition has been formed here, even though it is from the rights there are people from the left that would be in this coalition if it finally gets completely sorted. but interestingly, mr. bennett said, saying that this new government will be even more right wing than the current government. how will the current occupant

tell you, bennett is a hard line. a writing politician has entered politics about over 10 years ago. he comes from high tech and then he is, you know, from the national religious count. he used to be also the head of the settler organization in the occupied west think the year. so i counsel. so he is a hotline and politics. he is, for example, against the palestinian state. he is a proponent of annexation of the west bank and you have to look now, you know, in the distribution of the ministerial post as well in this a government and most of the heavy weight ministry posts, as far as we know from now, we'll go actually to hotline to other hotline lighting politicians. so we don't see much change in this regard. very interesting, tanya. thank you so much, julie. some correspondence tony kramer there let's catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. police and jury, a say gunman have kidnapped around 200 children from a school in niger state. it's the latest and a series of such raids w

if bennett is able to, if bennett and let you know, we're going to talk a minute is going to be the prime minister. but lupita is going to be if you think about the movers and shakers in the government, the feed is going to be at least equal, prevented me if they're able to provide, to provide an agenda that he's unifying. that talks about themes that really concern large share of the population in the israel, such as i mentioned earlier know law and order of cost of leaving and other challenges. and they might be able to to keep it and going to cater to those needs . they might be able to generate more support than, again what it seems to be the prospects right. what, what would be the average person would guess? would you tell me what a professor of political science joining us like, throwing off the international many thanks for your time. we appreciate it. thank you. my pleasure. thank you. bye. so the come here on the program on our team, we bring you a special report from the central african republic, a country ravaged by civil war. we look at how russia is helping to end the confli

but the coalition that bennett is joining is very wide. we change so much so that it's going to be fragile and not the able to form consensus on controversial issues like the piece. rather, it will have to limit itself to making decisions about the economy, how to deal with prob 19. and this is something that these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been appealing to the electorate. and to those who have joined the coalition about, he is not ready to give up without a fight. and he is warning israelis that the new coalition could spell. disaster might be fairly ben, it's i heard natalie bernard. unfortunately, he's again misleading the public, the same lives and them to slogan some have written division from the person himself. so hatred and division his leading the scam of the century. nathaniel, who's been the longest serving prime minister of israel, he's been in office for some 12 years. and what we see happening here is mr. bailey, political parties coming together because they have constraints upon issues that ra that becau

i mean, the kind of accusations against a natalie bennett, he was saying that natalie bennett only wants to be the prime minister that he has no need to see. then he betrayed his voters and we're going to see him continuing in a packing business all the time. semi circle in jerusalem for us. thank you. now let's get you up to speed on some of the other stories making headlines around the world. egypt and israel are holding high level talks in cairo to shore. a fragile cruise between israel and the hum of nodes and group egypt. foreign minister and his israeli counterpart, are also due to discuss the release of israeli soldiers held by her mouth and the rebuilding of god. grief us president joe biden has said that he will press his russian counterpart vladimir putin on human rights abuses. they will meet next month during talks on june 16th and geneva leaders hope to discuss a range of issues in an effort to improve strain relations and investigation. by media outlets in several european countries has uncovered a spying scandal focused on top german politicians. according to the report, d

between the mean, the liar and la pete and bennett is rather unlikely, even though bennett has described loppy. does his friend the, the idea of a far right and a party that is to the right of been netanyahu and a left wing coalition doesn't seem to bode well for unit for endurance. so isis and also it, the, a successful coalition needs the votes of the arabs in israeli arabs. i don't think that it has enough guarantees for them to, to gain these votes. so at best, we're going to end up with another week coalition and elections in a matter of months once again. and from which nathan, yahoo could emerge stronger than he has been in the past 2 years, where we've had the, i believe 4 or 5 elections in the, in. i've lost count. and because israel has a strictly proportional political system, so every single party that runs games a seat or if they have votes. so and this is a problem that as an italian, i know quite well because italian politics was exactly like this. especially in the seventy's and eighty's where we have prime ministers every single year was a new one. so but this before i f

yeah. le pete, who centrist party actually did better than bennett's in the poll, has been trying to form a coalition. bennett was seen as the kingmaker, but as part of the deal he looks now, light is also become the king. serving 1st is prime minister before rotating with le paid his views on palestinians of forthright. he's openly opposed to a to state solution and in favor of further settlement building. these were his comments in a recent al jazeera interview during the israeli bombardment of garza. you know, the whole width of israel is just about 7 or 8 miles. we see what, what the turn got into know, israeli is going to give up to then some area and allow them to create a terror state. that's just a few minutes away from my home. would you? despite his strong views, if he gains power, then it will be constrained on palestinian issues by his likely coalition, which would include left wing parties. this at the same time that the u. s. secretary of state anthony blinking has made it clear there's no plan to restart. peace, negotiation of the israeli palestinian conflict will not

as a liar and saying that a lapid—bennett government would weaken israel.n, he is misleading the public. same lies, selves that make same hate and division from someone who hates hate and division. someone who is perpetrating, i must say, the fraud of the century. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, is injerusalem and has been following the latest developments. it has been a night of high political drama. bennett saying he will now back with his friend, yair lapid, a former tv news anchor, a unity government. he said there was no option for a right—wing government which would have been his preference. he said there was only the choice of a unity government or a fifth election. this of course referring to the fact that israel has already had four elections in under two years. it has been an unprecedented period of political stalemate with the country really divided into a pro— and anti— netanyahu camp. mr bennett said this had been the most difficult decision of his life, to go into this new government, but he said that it was open for all parties

and the way bennett was speaking in his statement today, he was reassuring. the israeli writes that this will not be left with government. and that if it will be, it will be just a bit more to the right than the previous government. and he would look, get off the line to palestinians. ok. and what about benjamin netanyahu? because he is a well known master of political survival. it particularly desperate to stay in power while on trial for corruption charges. do you think that he has something up his sleeve that could turn things around? well, seen in the last few hours, we've seen the organized campaign against bennett again, members of his party. demonstrations outside kids whose number 2 in the party there was trying to put as much pressure on this party so as not to abandon hands. and we, we got the word that the is where the secret services are getting protection play in a 2nd, which means that they've seen that maybe her life would be left. and this is to say that you have a what we call the, the staunch and that our supporters who are out in the street

the, the commitment of bennett who leads the right wing process. you mean a party is crucial to the proposed alliance. netanyahu responded by painting the broad coalition as a threat to national security. the she will think about it, mother turns. how will they look in the eyes of enemies? what will they say in iran? what will they saying, garza, my, what would they do in iran in gaza will be. what will they say, the whole of government in washington, seattle, washington netanyahu know is that the biggest threat posed by the new government to the county. prime minister himself enjoyed me now from jerusalem. is a journalist, a semi so called, so let's get right to it. how likely is it that this is the end of the era of netanyahu? yeah, well, it seems that the quote is folks going forwards. we've now heard of some new difficulties over the night with administer agriculture. and but no one thinks that because of one portfolio, especially in significant portfolio like the ministry of i because there will be a collapse of the talks. it's true that we're

what about naftali bennett himself?ily recognise in israeli politics. is there something special about him in terms of why this is happening now or is itjust the right time, right place? now or is it just the right time, right place? basically, he is not _ time, right place? basically, he is not well _ time, right place? basically, he is not well known - time, right place? basically, he is not well known around | time, right place? basically, . he is not well known around the world. he is known in israel because he has been a politician for a while. he represents a lot of the settlers and, the religious settlers and, the religious settlers in the west bank. he is not somebody who is particularly popular, not somebody who necessarily even, i would say, deserves this position. he only has seven seats, but he is a kingmaker. he has a split from netanyahu, he was once his chief of staff. he has had a long and contentious relationship with netanyahu. he was his natural political partner for many years and come at this point,

and bennett is governing from a position of weakness. he has only 6 seats in the government in the, in the coalition, even last one of his people. he had 7. so it's, you know, it's an exciting place politically. it's not stable right now. we don't know where we're going. netanyahu says that benny's plans, his ideas, endanger israel, what he's going to say. but anyway, that was me. correct. he's going to say that he says that bennet is an opportunist which is laughable. because that's an yeah, i would do anything. he's saying that, you know, he lied to the voters. he told the voters, yes, he told him that he would not go in with, with year le paid, but at the same time and it was in prime minister of a government of so who got more seats got in the 3rd election. got, you know, a 1000000 votes on the one platform that i will not go into a government with b, b and i and i will replace b b and in the, in god's broke away from the party of issue with your la paid and became the, the alternate prime minister to deal with the to now and that al

you paid the right wing politician natalie bennett, who looks in prime position to go 1st in some kind of rotational deal on either side of the divide. and there is another right wing who used to be a loop could party member benjamin netanyahu get on saw who launched his own right wing party with the express purpose of ousting netanyahu in the last election. so the various moving parts are we have la p, the opposition, nita and bennett in talks to form a change government, a coalition, a very broad one, spanning from pretty far right to the left, which would require the support from the outside. almost certainly of one of the palestinian israeli parties, probably that of months or of us. the so called united arab list, that is what has been in the works during the period, which the pete has officially to try to form a government. bennett has face some internal opposition over that, but he is also talked about the need to avoid a 5th round of elections. so this very serious last minute talks going on on this front with bennett set to present this proposal to his own party members, has o

right. wing opposition lead nestali bennett, has announced that he's now ready to form a new government with more details on this quarter. fast moving story now today, a middle east correspondent policy, natalie bennett, who was the leader of the main party, which means the right party in israel had now announced that he's joining forces with the leader of the opposition. get yelled up, kid to get it. they have a 61 majority, which is what they need to be able to form the next majority coalition in his role . now, bennett has said that although he come from the white of the political spectrum and he's attention the joining forces with parties in the center and the next. he is doing this because the country has been in a crisis, politically. they have been for election in the space of 2 years, all over the last 4 rounds of elections. we've seen a country weakening itself, damaging itself and losing its ability to function. we see ministers who are fighting with each other, who do not manage anything. we have seen riots and the burning of synagogues and load an acura instead of managing a

the peat enough tony bennett not being able to form a government together the centrist and right wing leaders together maybe it will work but i don't think we're going to 5th elections in tel aviv gideon levy we've talked about this on the show the full the fact that netanyahu success isn't necessarily down to benjamin netanyahu it's down to the fact that he doesn't really have a credible opposition is that the case still. hate is the case but you know in order not to have meaningful opposition it takes source or some kind of or the qualities or the leader himself it i would argue is my friend before that there will not be thieves elections as it looks right now you know how it's afternoon in israel maybe in the evening could look different but right now 50 elections is the most probable possibility as i don't see any ultimate the government was or the respect to the unity government to yodel a p 2 enough that it bennett i don't see them having to but there are the why do you see a 5th election surely i've been to his or of covered many elections many times i've seen the frustration t

unfortunately he - translation: i heard naftali bennett. unfortunately he is. bennett. misleading the public. same lies, same empty slogans of hate and division from someone who helps hatred and division, and also someone who is perpetrating, i must say, the fraud of the century. the deadhne the fraud of the century. the deadline to _ the fraud of the century. the deadline to form _ the fraud of the century. the deadline to form a _ the fraud of the century. the deadline to form a coalition is looming, and comes at the same time as high—level talks to strengthen a ceasefire between israeli forces and palestinian militants after 11 days of conflict earlier this month. dan arbell is a scholar—in—residence at the center for israeli studies at the american university and joins me now. thank you for being with us. what do you make this proposed a unity government, what are the challenges they are facing? first of all, the first challenge is to actually for government... naftali bennett announced his moving forward, but he still needs to sign a few agreements between the part

and it's certainly looking that way after natalie bennett. right wing politicians said he was going to join a coalition that has been formed by the center, left politician. yeah, lockheed. the 2 men have come to a deal on the deal. many thought of this coalition depended on mister bennett, being the kingmaker, but it looks like the deal actually also involves him becoming initially at least the king. because under the deal, mister bennett will be the 1st prime minister. and then it will rotate to mr. pete, at a later stage. it's almost a done deal, but not yet. remember, there are more than 2 parties involved in this coalition and all of them. i think all of the deals have to be absolutely confirmed with all the coalition members. and then the next stage is that mr. le. pete was asked to form a coalition goes back to israel's president to say that he's managed to form a government. we've heard, as i just said, from mr. bennett, in the last hour, much of the criticism of him has been that he is joining this very broad coalition that involves l

he netanyahu has been absolutely ripping into bennett in the last 20 minutes saying that he's being driven by personal ambition that he's essentially selling out by wanting 2 years as prime minister in a potential deal with lockheed for a change coalition block in the israeli parliament the knesset that he is going back on various promises he gave jury in the election campaign about not working with a left wing government and that he's being driven by his lust for power now set aside what some people are pointing out when they look at benjamin at night netanyahu accusing someone else of personal political ambition this is a real bid by a try to stop this this coalition building before it's even really got under way he is appealing for both bennett and for other members of his party some of whom have been expressing doubts about entering into this very broad coalition with members of the israeli left which would probably have to be supported from the outside by palestinian israeli parties this right wing party does appear to be split within itself as to whether this is a good idea de

in a rotational arrangement as prime minister that's something that netanyahu has also offered to bennett and he's piling on a huge amount of pressure against him saying that it's his failure to commit to a right wing government that means that one has not yet been built that if he did so there would be defections and they would get across the line to the $61.00 seats required in the israeli parliament the knesset there is also some pressure from within its own party with at least one m.k. member of the knesset saying that they would not be happy to join lockheed in what would have to be a very broad left right coalition to oust netanyahu the greatest pressure the remains on netanyahu himself this is the greatest peril he's been in since the start of this political crisis but if anyone knows how to play the game right up until the last minute it is him and the final whistle has not yet been blown how we force it for inside story west jerusalem. and let's bring in our guests in west jerusalem gil hoffman chief political correspondent of the jerusalem post from london you'll see michael ber

party. indeed against bennett and his number 2, i had a chuck head as well. we just hearing that today is the day that she will have extra security from the class it god because of protests already outside her home on sunday evening. well into the night. lots of pretty unpleasant threatening abuse coming her way on twitter as well. so that could be in a country which is already seen one prime minister. of course, it's accurate being assassinated by a far right assassin. there is real concerned about where that could lead to their being careful on that front too. and that was harry force from west jerusalem lay this in west africa, have suspended molly's membership from a regional group off to a 2nd military coup in 9 months. the economic community of west african states, known as echo, was decided not to re impose sanctions. i called on the country to return to democracy. nicholas hark reports from the capital by mikko june to leader colonel see me going to swapped his military uniform for a suit for his meeting with west african leaders. they are alarmed by

and bennett. i think this is the only chance of a friend to get out of the darkness 7 minutes and you know enough for so many years now, journalist and also chris hedges thinks that while things aren't looking good for benjamin netanyahu, not much would change under a new coalition it doesn't look good for baby. this was an unexpected development because it's a marriage between the mean a party which is even further to the right. not by much netanyahu. could i and a more centrist party with a lot. so not much will change for in terms of foreign policy. i don't think that policies towards iran will change. however, any kind of actual assault against the rand is impossible without the blessing of the united states. and that's long been the case. it really is really government all the way back to the bush administration has pushed for strikes against her. and i expect to kind of stalemate with iran. i expect a kind of stalemate with the palestinians. it's a coalition that will focus primarily on dome

it can't be the bennett. with devon, the parliament was to be prime minister there stealing a vote to the right. it's a blatant violation of all these promises. i thought that we should come and support this governmental chain and also show some support for catherine and bennett. i think this is the only chance of a friend to get out of the document. that video mean it's just for so many years now without is there a news update for now? i'll be here at the shop with all of monday, the latest developments the close. now though, for more great programs, right ahead. me the the, the, the, the in southern california, the sun rises over san diego bay. next to a parkway. in this parking lot 54 year old maria begins her day straighten went to bed. this car is her this is everyday this routine.

wing opposition leader enough tele bennett alliance. he is ready to form a new broad coalition government involving centrists and even left wing parties. if those plans do materialize, that would mean an end to 12 consecutive years of benjamin netanyahu room with more on the political imaginations. here's her middle east correspondent policy. natalie bennett, who was the leader of the human a party, which means the right party in israel has now announced that he's joining forces with the need of the opposition. get the kid to get it. they have a 61 majority, which is what they need to be able to form the next majority coalition in his role . now, bennett has said that although he come from the right of the political spectrum and he's essentially joining forces with parties in the center and the next, he is doing this because the country has been in a crisis. politically. there have been some for election in the space of 2 years, all over the last 4 rounds of elections. we have seen a country weakening itself, damaging itself and losing

. >> i have heard of bennett, and unfortunately he's misleading the public, and same lies. also, somebody who is perpetrating, i must say, the fraud of the century. >> now if a formal agreement is reached on the emerging and very diverse coalition of right wing centrists and leftist parties it will still have to be approved by israel's parliament, and we are joined now from jerusalem. it's never done until it's done in israel. what maneuvers does netanyahu still have? he won't go quiet, will he? >> no, he won't go off quietly into the sunset, no, michael, and the best he can hope for is to persuade members of bennett's party to resign or object to the formation of this coalition, so that would be perhaps the main thing, and we have already seen, actually, protesters gathering outside the home in tel aviv, the number two to the bennett party, and protesters outside trying to persuade her to pullout and object to the formation of a coalition, and there are procedural shenanigans that netanyahu could do, and he could slow thing downs a little bit as well and perhaps there coul

despite his strong views, if he gains power, bennett will be constrained on palestinian issues by his likely coalition, which would include left wing parties. this at the same time that the u. s. secretary of state anthony blinking has made it clear there's no plan to restart. peace negotiations. the israeli palestinian conflict will not be dealt with apparently for the next few years. and it has to do down only with israeli politics . it has to do with american politics. it has to do with to me and politics. members of the international community often didn't like the policies pursued by benjamin netanyahu, but he was a known quantity. israel's longest serving prime minister. now there's a strong possibility. they may have to deal with a new, younger leader with even more controversial views james base. ouch is era west jerusalem? well let's now bring in dove wax. then he is the director of the u. c. l a y n s, and the very incentive israel studies enjoys us now from los angeles. does. i'll start with the big question off to being a political survivor for so long. is it now over for

kill hoffman where we at right now we've heard so much about various kingmakers not only bennett oneof the opposition leaders we've heard of months or about an islamist leader from the is connected to the joint these people were supposed to come to the rescue and give you a government that hasn't happened other and he can make his left. absolutely months or a boss is still a king maker and he's a fascinating one month 0 boss is the result of they were ham accordance abraham accords took the thesis that the pallor that the arab world does not have to wait for the arab israeli conflict to be solved the israeli palestinian conflict to be solved now before reestablishing ties with israel and if the train at morocco and the united arab emirates can have relations with israel and monsoreau abbas said so can israeli arab citizens the israeli arab citizens weren't part of the israeli political establishment they were elected to the parliament but never part of the government and he's about to change all that and you know return for asking for things to improve the everyday life. the average

that he would want him to join him in an anti netanyahu so-called change bloc and that he bennett would go 1st for 2 years as prime minister in a rotational deal with the p then following 2 years later what's except extra interesting about this is what bennett said before lapidus given the mandate by the president he said that it was netanyahu fault that there had been the failure during his 1st 28 days with that opportunity to form a right wing government he's rejecting the huge amount of pressure that netanyahu has been bringing to bear on him saying that he needs to commit to a right wing government reject any prospect of working with lockheed on this very broad piece of coalition from the pretty far right to the left wing of israeli politics and so bennett is instead saying that no it's theirs and you know it's fault and that he wants now to try to form this unity government that would take israel forward so it seems to be a pretty clear rejection at least for now by bennett of netanyahu the question though is even if he does now fully commit himself to this course of action will th

bennett is a real right where it was palestinian issue.political partner. if one or two of them leave there may be ways to replace them for parties that are based on panas but not palestinian israel only 1% of israel are palestinian citizens, if they vote in favour of this coalition they could help it. one of those parties is already scheduled probably to vote in favour of this alternative coalition. thus enabling it to pass. so netanyahu is not out of tricks. he probably has still a few rabbits he can pull out of his hat. nonetheless the opposition this time, it does seem closer than ever. they are experienced politicians with a quite a few rabbits of their own. . , with a quite a few rabbits of their own. ., , ., ._ own. one last thought ifi may. the presumption _ own. one last thought ifi may. the presumption is _ own. one last thought ifi may. the presumption is always _ own. one last thought ifi may. the presumption is always been - own. one last thought ifi may. the presumption is always been that. own. one last thought ifi may. thej

natalie bennett at 8 p. m. local times or less than 3 hours away and the indications are that he's going to announce joining up with the party of the i p p t. as the opposition leader, it is currently within his hands, the formation of a potential coalition government. he was given that task by the president several weeks ago. his mandate runs out on wednesday. so the time is pressing on his period to try to make coalition. and he's been in talks with bennett trying to get there's a broad coalition of right, middle center and left wing is really political parties to oust netanyahu. now, even if they do that, they will still be short of the magic number, $61.00 seats. and these are the parliament, the connected, so they would require some support from outside this coalition, almost certainly coming from one of the palestinian israeli parties. bennett says that his main objective is to try to secure a government, tried to prevent a 5th round of elections. and it's all signs appointing to the fact that there will

and bennett, i think this is the only chance of a read to get out of the media. mean it said, you know, just now for so many years now, we heard from a odious summer, a professor of political science at television university. he thinks a broad coalition could, in fact be more stable than that. and yahoo was claiming the question is whether the net benefit coalition is sustainable. and i think it's members of this coalition might have more in common than you would think. i think, you know, a left last week. right. nathan, you always trying to portray is not really in place in israel anymore. the left wing is dead, has been dead for several years now. but electrically speaking, there are, there are no borders. you know, people don't vote for leslie parties and the parties there that are supposedly on the left and on the right. as a lot of problem like things like the cost of living questions, law and order, which became a major issue after the the war in garza and what was happening. and he's ready mix cities during the same period of time challenges like the already challenge, etc. so,

we have lobbied the opposition leader and bennett in talks to form a change government, a coalition, a very broad one, spanning from pretty far right to the left which would require the support from the outside almost certainly of one of the palestinian israeli parties. probably that of months or of us, the circled united arab list, that is what has been in the works during the period which the p has officially to try to form a government. bennett has faced some internal opposition over that. but he is also talked about the need to avoid a 5th round of elections. so this very serious last minute talks going on on this front with bennett set to present this proposal to his own party members has obviously very heavily spooked netanyahu, who is now saying, okay, come back to me. natalie bennett, in a right wing coalition government in which you and i will share the prime minister ship and you as well get on saw this other right wing who is really made his whole new party launch about replacing netanyahu said all of us, all 3 of us can share the prime minister ship in a triple rotation d

right. wing opposition leader enough telly bennett a lunch. he's ready to form a new broad coalition. it is broad coalition government because involves centrist and even left wing parties. not if those plans do materialized, that will mean an end to 12 consecutive years of benjamin netanyahu rule. bennett said he agreed to work with parties on the opposite side of the spectrum. out accused netanyahu a polarized list mission. over the last 4 rounds of elections. we've seen a country weakening itself, damaging itself and losing its ability to function. we see ministers who are fighting with each other, who do not manage anything. we have seen riots and the burning of synagogues and load an acura instead of managing and leading their methodist to spread hatred and polarization between the people of our country to conceal their own failure might be fairly ben, it's i have not told banners. unfortunately, he's again misleading the public, the same lies and them to slogan some have written division from the person himself . so hatred and division, h

what is surprising about bennett? joining forces with that kid is that he comes from the far wife, that you have someone from the far right. joining forces with our parties, parties in the middle. and the reason given is that it has been promised that he will be the next his really prime minister if he joins the coalition for 2 years following which the leader of the opposition party, which appeared will then be prime minister. not bennett did make the point that he was doing this to try and get israel out of the political crisis that it's been, we've been holding for inaction in the space of q. yes. so that's the motivating factor for banish. but i can tell you that there's a lot of anger amongst been supporters there. right. wing supported and bennett is really taking a political gamble with his career. because if the coalition doesn't work, or if in fact, it gets warning, most people think it will only last a number of months. it's questionable whether bennett will have a political career afterwards. because so man

i heard natalie bennett. unfortunately, he is again misleading the public. the same lies and them to slogan some have written division from the person himself. so i hate written division. he's leading the scam of the century and it has been the longest serving prime minister of israel. he's been in office for some 12 years. and what we see happening here is mr . political parties coming together because they have constraints upon issues that ra that because they will have a joint desire to get baton yahoo out of office. this comes at a particularly sensitive time for israel. they was the recent israel, god, the war that lasted 11 days. the same time we've seen some of the with violence between the way the jews and his way, the average that the country has witnessed in years. the all the the, the the in the the journalist and author chris hedges thinks that while things are looking good for benjamin netanyahu, not much will change under the new coalition government. it doesn't look good for baby. this was an unexpected development because it's a marriage betw

and the way bennett was speaking in his statement today, he was reassuring. the israeli writes that this will not be left with government. and that if it will be, it will be just a bit more to the right than the previous government. and he would look, get off the line to palestinians. ok. and what about benjamin netanyahu? because he is a well known master of political survival. it particularly desperate to stay in power while on trial for corruption charges. do you think that he has something up his sleeve that could turn things around? well, seen in the last few hours, we've seen the organized campaign against bennett again, members of his party. demonstrations outside a kid whose number 2 in the business party there was trying to put as much pressure on this party so as not to abandon hands. and we, we got to word that the is where the secret services i'm not getting protection play in a 2nd, which means that they've seen that maybe her life would be. and this is to say that you have a what we call the staunch and that our supporters who are out in the str
