you have a war cabinet where you would have the prime minister benny gans and the defense minister. you'll have guidelines. in addition to those 3, you will also have another for a former chief of staff guy b as in cold. and the former is reading bassett, or to washington, which will be sitting in this wood cabinets, as observers now both isaac called and there matter which, who is a former investigator act out from a guides of national unity party. and then you have the 2nd for that one is, is the an expanded and the political security cabinets which will include the members of the now is ruling coalition added to that of many guns and a 2 other members of his national union, the party and man and the leadership of the intelligence services and the ministry of defense. so you have these 2 for of, for nathan, jo, it gives him a expertise because you have to forward chase of staff who know very well the ministry. many guys has actually experience when it comes to gaza. that with the help of a lot, members of his routing coalition don't necessarily have that experience. and it would a

while a war cabinet was created in israel, which included benny gans, one of netanyahu’s irreconcilablee second fierce oppositionist, refused. i don’t see much difference between what in israel is called left and right, because, frankly speaking, there is little left of the left, that is, there is a difference tactical for example, here is the same bengvir or smotrich, they like to provoke, they like to show their strength , as it were, the more peaceful zionists, this is where we are talking about the zionist ideology, more moderate people, they try not to provoke, but their goals are exactly the same, namely preserve the state of israel, where the majority is not arabs. you see, it is very important to say that it is not so much jews who are not arabs, and this is today, i think, the consensus in israeli society, well, at least not in arab society, because 20% of the israeli population, as the palestinians know, what is happening is no less important for the internal situation in the united states, the israeli issue for america is not exactly foreign policy, or rather not foreign poli

and it's chaired by the prime minister and his defense minister and benny gans was also a former defense minister and who's the courage and leader of the 2nd largest opposition party in the country. so it was approved by a vast majority east method only for members, abstained from voting. so searching leak from the. busy that the politicians that image in itself gave us the is really the image that at least for now the politicians are united because a lot of israelis is starting to complain as starting now that the, the whole scope of what unfolded last saturday is sinking in now that the grief is kind of being black k through then the anger is coming out, the anger is also directed, not only as him us. yes, the vast majority is directed. thomas. busy but there is also a good portion of anger this directed at the lead political lead ship of this country and beecher and divisions that have been crippling the political life of this country for several years. now, at the moment, just like the politicians, i show you a, a showing that they stand united people are also showing that there's 10

however, we also know that benny gans, who is a former chief of staff and a former minister of defense who was actually minutes of defense during the guys or in 2014. we know that he has some pre conditions for the formation or joining this emergency unity government among them. is that a that government would exclude the far right members of the ruling coalition. he also wanted to make sure that his party would have a say in any decision making of this more cabinet. and he also wanted to make sure that during that time a mess it would not legislate or anything that is not war related. uh so these were some of his conditions. we don't know if any compromise was met at this time. but the meetings, as i said, just started in about half an hour, it would probably take a few hours. and after that, we would expect a statement or an announcement. this is something we'd just be, we have to wait to see, but this is something that 5 minutes to meet then. yeah, one see needs to show that he as the backend of the entire political spectrum of this country at this particular time. uh, hold on you s

this was stated today by the minister of the emergency government of israel, benny gans. according to the american publication wall street journal, the israeli military has built a replica of a palestinian settlement in the desert. the soldiers are working out. hamas in narrow streets and underground tunnels. turkey is ready to send a ship with humanitarian aid for residents of the gas sector. turkish president recep erdogan announced this today. he noted that the country has already transported about 200 tons of humanitarian aid to the palestinians to egypt. earlier, the un reported that the territory of the enclave was running out of fuel, emphasizing that fuel reserves could run out by this evening. without fuel , electric generators will stop working, which means hospitals will not be able to function, almost 20,000 people are being treated there, according to the local ministry of health. the death toll since the beginning of the conflict has exceeded 7,000 people. the un is under attack from israel, there is very dissatisfied with the statements of the organization'

it can start at any moment - said today israeli emergency government minister benny gans. according to the american publication wol street journal, the israeli military has built a replica of a palestinian settlement in the desert. soldiers practice combat against hamas in narrow streets and underground. turkey is ready to send a ship with humanitarian aid to residents of the gaza strip, turkish president recep tayyip erdogan announced today. he noted that the country has already transported about 200 tons of humanitarian aid to the palestinians to egypt. earlier, the un reported that the territory of the enclave was ending fuel and stressed that fuel supplies could run out this evening. without fuel , electric generators will stop working, which means hospitals will not be able to function. treatment. almost 20,000 people pass through them, according to the local ministry of health. the death toll since the beginning of the conflict has exceeded 7,000 people. in the american state of maine, hundreds of police officers have been unable to find the criminal who shot people

chances or well, i mean that was supposed to be a meeting this evening between a prime minister and benny gans, who is the leader of the main a position far to the nation about that did not happen. and from what we understand, it did not happen simply because a prime minister was in a meeting at the defense ministry in tennessee that took much longer than expected . so that need things to, to happen tomorrow morning. were told that 8 a g m t um there was hope that after that meeting they would be a statement or, and then bounce meant that this emergency unity government as its cold would be it would be for assuming that the remains had been reach at least that's the indication we have seen and heard from several include members. so for that, we'll have to wait and see what will happen tomorrow if there's anything in the works that would change that he is the prime minister is also feeling quite strong because of the position of the us. we heard earlier a. busy president joe biden, unequivocally saying that he stands behind israel, and that the us we provide as much assistance military, a neede

israelis, such an inadequate statement was made by the former minister of defense of the jewish state, benny gansged that the war could take months. pacifists demand that it be completed immediately. in washington, about 500 activists pour into the cannon ratunda on capital hill. 100 participants of the demonstration were detained by the capitol police, the most surprising thing is that members of the jewish voice for peace organization spoke out in defense of the palestinians. congressman brandon williams waved an israeli flag to a jew protesting tel aviv's actions from the balcony. even the white house is afraid to say the wrong thing about the middle east conflict; there is a culture of silence there, the newspaper reports, citing sources. they are especially afraid of being branded as anti-semi. biden administration staff. the ridiculous attempts of the us president himself to resolve the situation in the middle east are a topic for jokes among american comedians. america's greatest foreign policy thinkers straightened their stupid ivy league caps and formed a new plan for the middle east. th

they have 5 members of the opposition, the national a unit d, a party headed by and benny gans. and he is one of the 5 ministry who, who were there today. so all of this is basically formalizing all of the politics and all of the political negotiations that happened over the past few days. and i have been looking online and talking to some people. and some of them said, well, they're very happy that finally they can seek to beats, arrivals, standing together and showing you know, our united friends in the wake of the enemy and in the wake of what the country is going to go through in the coming days. or weeks actually some people said the, you know, took the 6 days, it's a long time, 5 days to form the government. did this emergency unity government and then today is the 6th day. some of them told me know that that should have been that much, much quicker. good. considering the, the, the gravity of the situations to this country, which is in, at the moment. now i know all of the politicians are united, even though everybody says that they will, they will support this emergency u

message, not just prime minister benjamin netanyahu, but these are already present ours because of benny gans who's part of the wood cabinet and several others. the sweet thing uh the islamic jihad would behind this attack. but those tweets actually came off the, another tweets the initial tweet from these ready armies page in arabic actually said is due to the lack of medical supplies and medical stuff. it has been decided to bomb the baptist hospital and cause i give them you can easy that since we monkey that attack, they came from the audience a visual page in our big that tweet was quickly deleted. and then this kind of slowed a piece of is ray's face was blaming his luggage. it has to be attacked, began as long as it had responded. they said they all know behind this attack, the enemy can church to actually own the building. say it wasn't as really striking several other international organizations, including medicines on frontier. i've also tweeted and also i confirmed this was and is really attacked. but we've seen this many times before town. and it's one of the most hurtful examples

it was the agreement that was reached between 5 minutes and it took me a whole and benny gans who's the leader of the national unity opposition party is to for what is called an emergency unity government. now within that emergency, do you need the government? there are 2 different forms of committees. there's what is could be referred to as the war cabinet and that is. busy a restricted committee, it is a prime minister between the whole benny guns, the opposition leader, the defense minister. you are god, and then you have 2 more people. who are danny izing colt and a former is radian, bassett, or to do us will also sitting on that committee. but as a observers now, i think why the formation of that gives prime minister and it doesn't. you know, 3 people will actually have extensive military knowledge because whether it's benny gas or danny, as in code, both of them were former chief of staff, ad benny gas as well was defense minister. they will be in charge of the war or the, the important decisions of the war. the every they planning of do you have then a larger, a larger for which

not just probably mister benjamin netanyahu, but these are already present ours because of, uh, benny gans, who's part of the wooden cabinet and several others, a tweeting uh, the islamic jihad, what behind this attack. but those tweets actually came off the another tweet, the initial tweet from these ready armies page in arabic actually said, due to the lack of medical supplies and medical stuff, it is been decided to bomb the baptist hospital and cause a give them you can easy. that's we mocking that attack, they came from the idea of some facial page in our big that tweet was quickly deleted. and then this kind of on the slope of, of is, raise officials blaming is loving to have for the attack began as long as it had responded. they said they all know behind this attack, the enemy can church, you actually own the building site. it wasn't as ready strike several other international organizations, including medicines on from to a voltage we did and also confirm this was and these really attacks. oh alex is there a spoke to him last spoke from last time i have done. he accuses the united s

we've also seen an interview with the former defense minister benny gans who is now a member of the opposition. one of the opposition leaders in this country in which it was televised, in which he said that he is willing to form an emergency unity government with the prime minister at this very critical time. now we've heard other members of the opposition in the last day and a half. we've also made similar overtures to the prime minister saying that this is a time for national unity despite political differences, they should come together. there are some opposition leaders who have made those offers conditionally, but we've not yet heard and acceptance and official acceptance from the prime minister. the prime minister has said in the last day that he is considering those over overtures. uh, that's the latest developments at this hour. now when it comes to this declaration of war, it's a little bit complicated. let me just walk you through it. you heard yesterday of course, prime minister and asked me, i was saying that the country wasn't more than you had the cabinet meeting and which of the

message, not just probably mister benjamin netanyahu, but these are already present ours because of benny gans who's part of the war cabinet and several others, a tweeting, the islamic jihad, what behind this attack. but those tweets actually came off the another tweet, the initial tweet from these ready armies page in arabic actually said, due to the lack of medical supplies and medical stuff, it has been decided to bomb the baptist hospital and cause a give them an easy that's a tweet mocking that attack, they came from the audience official page in our big that tweet was quickly deleted . and then this kind of on the slope of the of is raise. officials blaming is vibrant. you have to the attack began as long as you had responded. they said they all know behind this attack, the enemy can church. you actually own the building, say it wasn't his right, the strike several other international organizations, including medicines on frontier. i've also tweeted and also i've confirmed that this was and he's really attack or so you know how much lead to a smile. nea has a choose the united states of

hopefully we can reconnect uh with him or prime minister benjamin netanyahu. opposition leader benny gans and defense minister. you'll have guidelines have agreed to form an emergency war time government. it comes after several months of political turmoil and israel due to traditional reforms which seem to give more power to the government, the new war time cabinet. however, states they will not pass any legal measures unrelated to the ongoing conflict. a hi it is there, come to them. so it's only for the citizens of israel. this evening we formed a national emergency government that unites the people of israel. and today its leadership is also united. we have set aside any other consideration because the fate of our country is at stake. we are going to work together, shoulder to shoulder for the benefit of all his release. we are fighting a brutal and vicious enemy, an enemy which is worse than islam ics state. and we are fighting in full force. now we are on the offensive. every time us operative will die. a moss is a slum estate, and we will crush them and be rid of them. just as the w

take place yesterday between some of his representatives and those of the former defense minister benny gans. also, another senior opens is in need of saying he would only be prepared to join in imagine the government was such and preconditions met. mister netanyahu not necessarily comfortable with those kinds of preconditions. he is part of a very narrow company majority here in the commencement department, relying on support from right waiting parties. some of these very senior opponents of his former allies, i should add like missed a guns like yellow p, like having no lieberman perhaps on wanting to join an emergency government without seeing the a members of those right wing parties being removed from the cabinet released removed from decision making, when it comes to minutes, reparations in the days and weeks ahead, down the meanwhile, on the ground we've seen several escalations on the northern border with 11 on how big or whatever is back now is really ministry planners as well. the ministry here in israel saying they've pulled up 300000 was a this isn't a massive, active recruitment

us senator linsey graham calls for razing the gas sector, israeli opposition leader benny gans is readyhe entire middle east into ruins. the state of israel is the most powerful state in the region, it has the most powerful army in the world, it has the best people in the world. we see this in the example of one plane after another, full of young people returning to defend their home and gas already. feels this power, and if necessary, they they will feel it in lebanon, and the whole world will see it. please, the statement is specific, but the fact is that now, in the near future, most likely, the total number of deaths will, accordingly, exceed 2,500, respectively , will be equal, most likely, accordingly, the problem is with access to electricity that in the next approximately... maybe 24 hours, maybe 48 depending on the scheme, the problem will be in the water supply, because all the pumps run on electricity, so there is access to the water supply full-fledged in order to ensure, for example, the constrained supply of the same medical institutions. very difficult, accordingly, there

mr. benny gans, he's a former minister, defend to the former chief of staff, but he's right the all me, he is meant to be meeting right now with nothing yahoo to discuss the possibility of working together. they all previously allies. they are now very, very bitter opponents in the physical realm, at least. but many people pushing for mr. guns to be pos of this emergency government, given his ministry experience all those the paid and now they go leaving and have said that they would be prepared to join an invite to the government, but only on the conditions. the missing us now who might find very, very on unwilling to offer them such as maybe leaving out some of his right when a physical allies from an emergency cabinet. because the opposition politicians here in israel are adamantly opposed to having experienced members of the car. and cabinet involved in decision making when it comes is riley military strategy or security. okay. is that i'm not so keep an eye on development, the in west tourism for the moment. thanks very much. well, meanwhile has the law has lowered rockets from so

it is with prime minister benjamin netanyahu, national unity party leader bennie gans. correct me if i'm wrong, but in practical terms, does this mean the end of the benjamin netanyahu government? >> no, i think you're accurate about the cabinet. i urged him to join the government. without no intention to stay in gaza, we hope to finish the war as soon as we can. then we'll go back to regular politics to the argument, come together as a nation and to see the amount of support that we have in israel for our troops. my own son is out there. we are behind you. go do what you have to do to bring security to the people of israel. fight evil. i can tell you that we know it's not going to be easy. it's complicated to go into gaza and attack hamas, but we have no other choice. >> if i'm hearing this in the united states, i know that you are hearing there in israel, particularly as an elected official there, real frustration among israelis, even through the deep pain. frustration from civilians who feel that the benjamin netanyahu government was unprepared and failed its people.

us senator linsigram calls for razing the gas sector, which israeli opposition leader benny gans is readytate in the region, it has the most powerful army in the world, it has the best people in the world. we see this in one plane after another, full of young people returning to defend their home, and the gas is already feeling this power, and if necessary, they will feel it in lebanon, and the whole world will see it. alexander, the bloody madness that hamas launched, here, of course, it is also important not to forget how it all began, it spread to the gaza strip. now we are talking about mutual hatred, blind hatred, and this is an emotion, an emotion clouds... a look and then it is impossible to understand anything, i propose, putting aside emotions, try to soberly look at the situation and what, what trends are there, most likely the operation will be ground, that is, if we simply analyze what is happening, look, today sderot was evacuated and almost completely, let’s say, to a minimum half of ashkilon - they were evacuated, what does this mean, this is not the first time hamas has sh

increasing pressure as they were supposed to be a meeting this evening between the prime minister and benny gans, who is the leader of the main opposition party, the nation, but that did not happen. and from what we understand, it did not happen simply because a prime minister was in a meeting at the defense ministry until a v that took much longer than expected. so that meetings to, to happen at tomorrow morning were told at 8 a g m t. there was hope that after that meeting they would be a statement or, and the amount spent that this emergency unity government as it's called would be, it would be for as soon that the agreement has been reached. at least that's the indication we have seen and heard from several include members. so for that we'll have to wait and see what will happen tomorrow. if there's anything in the works that would change that he is. the pregnant is also feeling quite strong because of the position of the us. we heard earlier of the president joe biden, unequivocally saying that he stands behind israel. and that the you, as we provide as much assistance military, a needed a

the current defense submitted search you, i've got land, and benny gans who was afloat were defense minister and chief of staff who has extensive military knowledge. when yeah, here let people says that is not going to work because as long as they of these to fall, right. and what he calls extreme, its members of the government at things will not get better. and he has oldest precondition his position to these 2 people via been a big beer and smart trees to actually be expelled from the government. um that has not happened. so at the moment you're like, b is not joining this emergency unity government. like i can just talk to us a little bit more about this smaller, full time cabinet of these 3 men. they can you explain its powers? and i guess the reaction to it from the israeli public have they gotten in behind, is as well as a, b is really public has been longing for political unity. well, before all this started in this country has been deeply divided, has had multiple elections. and each route the results of each election showed those same divisions over and over again. the current gover

did you just you read over whole and then the, the a benny gans who is the head of the national unity party. i think the 3 men had a brief statement, hopefully conveying the same message that whether you're right or left at the moment, it is real. it doesn't matter. the country stands united and they are trying to show that they will deal with the issue it with a firm, have the loved one as far as saying that if need be, and if a new front is open with lebanon, so an israel's northern border, then they would also deal with it, but as needed, the land also said that at the end of old days they would be a new security reality in this region, i think is riley's probably would be very happy to see. at least we have short to see that, you know, these bits are political divisions that have ruled this country for many years. now again, remember, 5 elections in 4 years up, put aside at the moment in this type of price is, but i think they also want to hear whether they will be a ground invasion or not. and this is something, you know, when talked about it for sure. i mean, the earlier today i

cabinets, which he chairs along with his defense minister and uh, be a, one of the opposition leaders, benny gans, who as part of this emergency unit, the government. it's a show to the world and indeed to is really that for once these really public visions can come together in this time of crisis to get the country out of this crisis. and so that is what happened earlier in the mess it now is really is behind. it is ready use of complaint for years now about the featured divisions among their politicians. and a recent pull actually showed that the boss of georgia res rate has been talking about 94 percent of these re lease blame. what happened and the lack of security and the lack of action by the military to these a political divisions to the government, to the politicians of this country. so yes, israelis all united they would like to see a government at this national. you need to get government forge ahead and put an end to this war, but that doesn't mean that the prime minister at the end it will be out of trouble because i love them is raised and more and more voices are coming up. are real

well, speaking all the little cabinet alan, i see that the one cabinet minister benny gans has also just in the last half hour or so said that it would take years to restore security to the southern region of the he's an important part of these really war cabinet and he's essentially told these really people look, this is going to take some time. we need your patients. he said that this operation in guy's a critique several years. and he said that one of the names of the war will be for the release of cost digits. so he is saying that this isn't going to be a short term fix, but this is going to be at least until the end of the year. but it will gone beyond even that, and of course we've had benjamin netanyahu when he's be speaking to our leaders who have come through israel in the past week, from joe biden to the british prime minister and the french president. he has said repeatedly, we will need your sustained support. this is israel plugging up, but this is going to be a very long operation at a very long one and guys, island fish. that was the latest for us from occupied east resend

ex-israeli defense minister and member of the military cabinet, benny gans, has similar rhetoric. because of his statements. some who are here perceived the secretary general's speech as a way to justify terrorism. it is also important to recognize that the hamas attacks did not occur in a vacuum. the palestinian people were forced to live under a suffocating occupation for 5-6 years. they saw their land gradually taken over by expanding settlements. they are infected with violence, their economy is strangled, their people are displaced and their homes are destroyed. their hopes for political decision, their plight has subsided, but the discontent of the palestinian people cannot justify the horrific attacks by hamas. he said that israel is engaged in an occupation, and this is not the first time that the secretary general has used the expression in an attempt to say that the situation in the middle east did not occur in a vacuum, but this time he essentially directly stated that israel has been occupying territory for a long time. 56 years old. these words caused strong indignati

that's h a m g m t, mister netanyahu, and mr. gans meant to be resuming back conversations. benny gams, the former defense minister, someone that a lot of his res would like to see involved in the military strategy and signing over the days and weeks ahead. however, he's made it very clear that he would not like to participate in the unity government unless some of the right wing allies and mister netanyahu are excluded from the security related decision making. darren, all right, so i've been a mock live for us. the in west or has been for them. thank you. let's call 7 out to rob reynolds. the joins us live from ash, so that's in southern israel, near the boat. we have guns that rob. so as we were saying how much rockets hit the southern city of asked cologne yesterday, and there was still reports of sporadic fighting in the south. what more could you tell us? well, a yeah, that's right there. and i mean everything appears quiet here. but the fighting is still going on, excuse me, both the in terms of rock and impacts band in terms of fighting palestinian fighters the, the, the israel

gans. there are fairs that the disagreements between the two sides might affect the cabinet's decision. once again, we see a coalition signed between bennythrough signing on paper things. might get out of control, it all depends on whether the two sides have good intentions towards each other or not. this will impede decision making. this is why yer lapid refused to join the emergency government. of course, this suspicion was also reflected in israeli social media where we saw sarcastic comments. here are few. what will gance do exactly? will he give up on the goloni sold? why give him authority in a security cabinet, have you gone nuts? netanyahu, you sold us, i will not join the left, but tell you to go to hell, these sarcastic comments on social media obviously reflect the state of mistrust amongst israelis, these comments show suspicions towards the intention did not enter the government, but they supported emergency government, but there are doubts, yes, doubts concerning what, concerning disagreements between the army leadership, ganz, bengavir, smortrid, and netanyahu, we're talking about an extremist far right, that is not relate
