well now to political developments in israel the opposition leader benny gantz has been unable to form a coalition government paving the way for the country to go to the polls again israel's political system has been paralyzed for months after 2 and conclusive elections in april and september gadson the incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu did not receive an overall majority so look to garner the support of a victor lieberman's party but he refused them both and urged the 2 leaders to work together and form a unity government how a force that has more now from west jerusalem. or 4 hours before the expiration of the deadline for benny gantz to make a coalition government he came to the microphones to admit what had been coming increasingly clear throughout the course of the day that he had failed but he put the blame for that squarely at the feet of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying he had been fortifying himself inside a transitional government against the will of the israeli people just to try to avoid prosecution impending corruption cases and he used particularly p

however in political terms those missiles weren't even aimed at islamic jihad the real target was benny gantz netanyahu is political rival gansa has tried to piece together a coalition government to replace netanyahu is one that would have included the support of israeli arab parties netanyahu is fighting for more than his job he's just become the 1st. sitting israeli prime minister charged with a crime indicted for bribery fraud and breach of trust so netanyahu could use the distraction and he knows that conflict with palestinians military and political can pay off he can also count on those in the news media who tend to shorthand the political context and go long on the dominant narrative that palestinians somehow pose an existential threat to israel we have 2 starting points this week gaza and jerusalem. split screen new ceiling in israel and palestine on one side weeks of coalition negotiations intensifying with either a new government coming or another election israel's 3rd in less than a year on the other a fresh israeli military assault on gas heavy casualties on the palestinian

lieberman who said there aren't a scientist he wouldn't sit with them so lots of obstacles then now benny guns has just a few hours to find a partner to form a coalition government what are his chances. well he still has a couple of hours left i mean his money goes until midnight here local time but it seems if you look at the mathematics of it highly unlikely at the moment but there might be a last minute to you but if he doesn't make a deal by midnight then the monday goes to the parliament the knesset and then any of the. case they could actually put forward. that they would like to form a coalition if they would have to $61.00. case to form such a coalition but they could also decide that they will have to solve the knesset and then pull early they have $21.00 days for that and then go already have for elections for such election which would be highly unprecedented in is for 3 elections within one year also it's already unprecedented the 2 candidates 1st spending the netanyahu and now been the guns wouldn't have been able to form such a coalition and that's why israel is in a politica

region of benny's so they came and attacked these villages. congolese soldiers went to repulse them but people are saying that the soldiers when they're late they was a confrontation between the soldiers and. that hackers fled it's not clear whether there were any casualties that caused by both the attackers or the military and this just goes to amplify the prefer structures that people in beni are feeling they're saying that villages are being attacked by a.d.f. even as an offensive against them is going on the congolese army is carrying out an operation in the forest against a.t.f. but then this group is able to come to villages and attack people in the last 3 weeks about 90 people have been killed this government offensive has been going on since october so that's why people are so angry and they're also doubly angry angry with the u.n. because they're saying the u.n. is there but then these attacks keep happening and the u.n. is not protecting them that's why you're seeing them going and attacking this u.n. base is the thing that they do n

12 months in israel appears increasingly likely following the latest failure to form a government benny gantz the main rival to prime minister benjamin netanyahu was unable to assemble a coalition by wednesday night's deadline that's in yahoo also failed to win enough support after 2 inconclusive elections both were hoping to win the backing of the former defense minister avigdor lieberman but his party refused herefore sits in west jerusalem with the latest. well the one newspaper referred to what's about to start as injury time in this entire process it's never happened before but for the next $21.00 days the israeli parliament the knesset will theoretically have the power to nominate one of its members it could even be benny gantz or benjamin netanyahu even though they fail so far to try to form a coalition government if they get the magic number of majority 61 seats in that knesset to recommend anybody who they view has the realistic possibility of forming a government but so far there seems little prospect of that happening everybody is sticking to their positions very rigidly neta

is exploding in the town of benny. protesters heading to a u.n. camp to vent their anger at the people of benny in eastern democratic republic of congo live on the frontline of militia violence they feel let down by their nation's own armed forces and by the un for not stopping the deadly militia attacks that have claimed dozens of lives in the past few months alone before the un have done nothing for us here. protesters attacked the u.n. compound and set fire to halt to show that they've had enough but the u.n. is pushing back it condemned the violent protests and says it is being made a scapegoat for issues beyond its control. well relations sometimes feel that the u.n. has the capacity and the resources more than the government forces and they gen and they're not doing enough so it's also because people expect you to do more even if you cannot do more they think you are not doing enough but the reality is that a peacekeeping mission is not deployed in a country to ration war but that is an argument protesters and dany don't except they say if t

let's discuss the situation in benny now with adam de who is the head of programs that u.n. university set of a policy research he was also a senior advisor to the u.s. mission in the d.l.c. and he joins us now from new york where you are perfectly placed to answer this question you were there as a as an advisor clearly the people believe the u.n. forces of the to protect them and they not doing it what's the problem. well i think that the 1st point is that this is not a new problem there's been cycles of violence for at least the last 5 years and the democratic forces have been there for decades and there's a fairly predictable pattern which is that the congolese army will do in a an attack against i.d.f. positions the idea will then attack civilian populations in the civilian populations will then carry out either demonstrations or attacks in this case against the u.n. and so when last month there was a large and and fairly uncoordinated i'd say congolese army operation against the a.d.f. most people who follow this situation could have predicted that there would be retali

blame the party's leaders prime minister binyamin netanyahu and benny gantz of the blue and white party for the failure to find a compromise even ones announcement means that guns now has less than 12 hours to form a government and a presidential mandate. kramer has been following developments. don't live in london is the potential kingmakers we said but he says he will endorse neither binyamin netanyahu nor benny gantz why not. why has he said he's seen here from the beginning since the last elections have to already him is well and the kingmaker and he said from the very beginning that he would like to see a unity government a kind of plan could this between netanyahu city could party and any guns discuss the von blue and white party but he claimed in his very much anticipated press briefing today you blame both leaders for that not happening now lieberman is seen as a very hawkish think a he the us defense minister under netanyahu until about a year ago and resigned over the gaza policies which were not harsh enough for him but he's also a very secular person and he pushes for secula

defensive around the city of benny will we've been looking at these quite extraordinary pictures of the anger that the local community has been feeling as they've been storming this this u.n. base in beni and lydia let me ask you because i feel like you get a real sense of the desperation that's being felt by the local community how do you move forward when relations have now deteriorated to this point. i think it's it's a very challenging situation the local communities obviously obviously full feel pushed to the war they are often unintended casualties of the excursions between the army and these armed groups rebel groups and they are caught in the middle of a fight that often they feel that they have no control over and also that the government is not doing enough to kind of kind of restore order and watch out for the rights of the citizens in these types of encounters. i think the public outpouring against monist goes is because monaco has been seen as if it has failed in its role to protect. the communities and by sort of taking what they see as a passive spectator role as these th
