when the next election but then after the last election april was close why wasn't the runner up benny gantz given a chance to form the government well that's also being debated here because that would have been the other option basically that mr netanyahu would give back the monday it that he had been given by the israeli president mr rivlin to form the question government and usually it would then go to the next candidate but that was not in the cards so mr netanyahu would not give out you know the possibility to form the next government that's why he was pushing the knesset you know to push for the for the dissolution and so paving the way for the elections but i think the opposition all of the opposition would go for mr net to know now we've heard them already saying you know he was unable to form a coalition dragging the country into unnecessary elections so they would have a chance now to regroup themselves maybe there will be a new alliances and then they will go from there to see whether this time. mr netanyahu is likud party so donna as the country goes back into campaign mode what

ultra orthodoxy for the situation that it finds itself in not either saying that he would go with benny gantz the leader of the opposition in any future elections saying about would not happen so we really back in the same situation we were 7 weeks ago. any but after a bruising final day trying to magical last minute coalition deal benjamin netanyahu is faced said it all it failed she beamed out of. nick israeli parliament and netanyahu urging hooted to dissolve itself and take israel into an unprecedented 2nd election in the same year it's now his best hope of cleaning on to power but he insisted voters shouldn't blame him the blame belonged to his former defense minister avigdor lieberman partial global amount of didn't even want to trouble to look much more it is just unbelievable just unbelievable other door lieberman is now part of the left he's from the left blood you give him votes for the right but he doesn't give his boat to the right wing government this is what we see. lieberman needs a secular party opposed to what he calls attempts to make israel a religious state he was insistin

final thoughts stan because we started to run out of time but i want to ask about the opposition benny gantz and his blue and white coalition lest we forget they got $31.00 seats in the 1st election they weren't that far behind netanyahu and they could see is this now a big opportunity for them to actually springboard you know it's a springboard to go form and actually you know pick up some seats here i think there are many within the israeli political system the opportunity which goes back to your previous question i think anyone from the likud that won't take this opportunity to challenge netanyahu whether it's difficult or not doesn't deserve to leave the country the country is in a junction of history they do need courageous people to come and say what need to be said about the future of the country and so many different issues the same goal for the opposition the blue and white is not a. it's it's a coalition of these and they're not even sure about whether they're going to want to get there and who's going to be leading the disparity in the going to to keep their what ation but yes i t

and boom white also got $35.00 seats he could potentially offer it to benny gantz to try to put a coalition together even though the numbers don't look very much in his favor and so both of those things it seems netanyahu doesn't want so it looks like his other option if he doesn't get a coalition the next few minutes is to get a law enacted to dissolve the knesset and have another round of elections in 3 months time that would be unprecedented in israeli history and he also needs to convince members of his own party the ones who only just scraped into this knesset by the skin of their teeth and might feel that given a another round of elections they may well not get in he has to convince them to vote for dissolving the knesset anyway and with their 1st piece of legislation potentially rule themselves out of a job so it's an extremely difficult situation that he finds himself in thank you very much for lester's them harry for set. well now iranian president hassan rouhani has suggested talks with the u.s. might be possible if washington lift sanctions imposed of attack iran's nu

of it rather subtle a final thought to you i mean what about the elections in september i mean benny gantz gave netanyahu a run for his money in the last elections how do you see the vote playing out in september i think we have to assume the blocs will remain more or less the same there's not going to be many people who are moved from the white wing to the left wing or vice versa and again we're faced the same thing who can create could fix up this jigsaw puzzle of bringing in small partners without paying them too high a price and will there be have to experience politicians that are going to try and again do this jigsaw puzzle which in the past has succeeded rather subtle but it will be a problem ok rosalba we have to leave it there thank you very much for talking to al-jazeera thank you now delegations of the taliban and the afghan politicians have wrapped up a 2 day conference in moscow a joint statement was released emphasizing the need for foreign troops to withdraw the afghan government did not take part earlier this month the 6th lot of talks when the u.s. and the taliban ended in

following the failed negotiations the israeli president could have task netanyahu selection opponent benny gantz with the formation of a new government but netanyahu the likud party blocked this by taking the initiative to push for a new vote overnight netanyahu was back in election mode. approved we'll carry out a clear focused campaign that will lead us to victory. reborn of. netanyahu his previous government will remain in office until the election in mid september when he could be indicted on corruption charges that's likely to become a hot issue in the run up to the vote. let's go to jerusalem and speak to michael friedman he's a middle east analyst with the u.s. based independent news organization the media like michael thank you for joining us so how significant is this impasse that we're seeing in israeli politics we seem to be witnessing a historic divide in israeli politics. we are witnessing possibly one to many probably the end of the dynasty you know mr netanyahu had he survived as prime minister until july and he would become the longest serving prime minister ever this place in th

this cease fire it's being categorized as a capitulation to hamas once again a kind of surrender benny gantz who was vying to be prime minister in israeli elections last month actually said that israel should have continued with uncompromising force that we're just setting the stage in his words for a continuation of the next bout of violence and indeed rob there is a cycle that has been established hamas and israel have a skirmish of last several days egypt swoops in to mediate a cease fire and then there is a return to what has been described as a return to comb how long that lasts well bear in mind that the last skirmish between hamas and israel was just last month prior to the israeli elections but you know it seems that there is still no appetite on either side for an escalation to war and in fact benjamin netanyahu while he was campaigning last month said that he doesn't want the military to have a major incursion into gaza because he says it would be too much of a hardship of a burden for israel to occupy gaza natasha for another thank you very much indeed i want to bring in nick and

ultra orthodoxy for the situation that it finds itself in not either saying that he would go with benny gantz leader of the opposition in any future elections saying about would not happen so we really back in the same situation we were 7 weeks ago. as prime minister is expected to attend a summit in saudi arabia the 1st high level meeting since a blockade against his nation began 2 years ago the saudis are holding a series of meetings to discuss regional challenges particularly how to stem iran's rising influence in the region delegates from more than 15 asia pacific countries are in bangkok for a un meeting on statelessness they want to pledge action for the millions of people around the world who are being denied a nationality scott heide reports. it was so far today on the agenda really is kind of discussions about best practices what has worked and hasn't worked in these 15 nations in asia in the pacific who have come here for this meeting so they're discussing through this so they can kind of share ideas and share what has worked for them and what needs to be focused on not to discuss t

final thought stan because we're starting to run out of time but i want to ask about the opposition benny gantz and his blue and white coalition let's we forget they got 31 seats in the 1st election they weren't that far behind netanyahu and they could see is this now a big opportunity for them to actually springboard you know it's a springboard to go form and actually you know pick up some seats here i think there are many within the israeli political system the opportunity which goes back to your previous question i think anyone from the likud that won't take this opportunity to challenge netanyahu whether it's difficult or no doesn't deserve to leave the country the country is in a junction of history they do need courageous people to come and say what need to be said about the future of the country on so many different issues the same goal for the opposition the blue and white is not a. it's it's a coalition of these and they're not even sure about whether they're going to want to get there and who is going to be leading the disparity and they're going to keep their word taishan but yes i t

well be looking for a way of doing enough to satisfy some of his domestic critics we know that benny gantz the head of the blue and white party will be touring the area around here early this afternoon and making a statement he's already been criticizing netanyahu is tactics over gaza so perhaps doing enough to satisfy israeli political demand without doing so much as to leads to a full scale escalation towards will because there are political concerns outside just political criticism for mention that you know you also have to think about the israeli national day celebrations coming up the fact that there will be a very high prestige international event taking place on the eighteenth of may the eurovision song contest in tel aviv islamic jihad making it clear that it may well target television to try to disrupt that event now we are of course already seeing fatalities we've seen an israeli civilian killed a fifty eight year old man in ashkelon we've seen these six people killed inside gaza including a pregnant woman and her toddler mother her toddler daughter israel is denying responsibili

noam: wellll, first of all, if benny gantz had been elected instead of netanyahu, the difference wouldnot be very great. the difference between the two cacandidates is not substantial in terms of policy. netanyahu -- here's another example of the extraterritorial reach of the united states. netanyahu is somewhat more extreme. the united states desperately wanted him to be elected. and the trump administration has been giving gift after gift to netanyahu to try to get him elected. it was enough to carry him over the roughly 50/50 -- close to 50/50 election. one of them, of course, was to move the embassy to jerusalem, in violation of not only international law, but even security council resolutions that the u.s. had participated in. a very dramatic change.. a second, equally dramatic, was to authorize israeli annexation of the golan heights. the syrian golan heights are, under international law, occupied territory. israel -- every major institution, every relevant institution, security council, international court of justice, all agree on this. israel did formally annex the golan height

dissatisfied with this cease fire they are categorizing it as yet another capitulation to hamas benny gantzwho was vying for prime minister against netanyahu last month has said that we should continue quote with uncompromising force against hamas and all this cease fire has done is lead us down a path toward the next escalation. and leave it there for now thanks so much the same. well for more on this let's talk to i mean oren he's a defense and government analyst and joins us now from tel aviv good to have you with us do you think the ceasefire is going to hold so. thank you. yes for the foreseeable future which is not so for see if you can see i had four hours days perhaps not even weeks but yes the convergence of interests between israel and hamas will probably hold a cease fire for a while but the reason a wild card which has not been mentioned prominently in this is palestinian islamic jihad this group which is more extreme than hamas is and has neither all thore the no responsibility for what is happening in gaza started it all he can issue ated the incidents friday night israel resp

being called as surrendering to hamas is blackmail and opposition leader benny gantz who was hoping to replace netanyahu during last month's elections said that uncompromising force should have been used and all this current cease fire agreement does is pave the way to the next military confrontation and indeed that is in keeping by the way with what we've seen in the last couple years which is intermittent spasms of violence followed by egypt coming in mediating a cease fire and then a return to what is described as calm and then the cycle begins anew all right to natasha the name there on the israel gaza border thank you where you are joining me is a retired israeli air force colonel and was a spokesman for former prime minister as you've sunk rabin and shimon peres in the one nine hundred ninety s. he says both sides want the ceasefire to hold. both sides have interests to keep it hamas doesn't want those demonstrations against. this to happen again and that the now it's time to form his government into. a sure reserve base that he's on top of things so i think it will hold the ques
