what has binyamin netanyahu done that makes binyamin netanyahu and others feel unsafe? >> i think he has good intentions, he has wishful thinking regarding the middle east. we are realistic because we live in the neighbourhood. when the prime minister attacked the nuclear reactor, we were condemned by the u.n., the u.s., and only when you look at it a few years later, sometimes you understand before our friend in threats. >> this is not the first time prime minister binyamin netanyahu embarrassed president obama. in 2010 you remember the israeli government announced plans for settlement while vice president biden was in israel during the 2012 re-election campaign, binyamin netanyahu hosted a dinner for president obama's republican rival. >> prime minister binyamin netanyahu speaks sa lot, spoke about his respect for president obama. it doesn't seem like this relation sh is getting better, that is facing criticism in israel. the u.s. is israel's biggest ali, why is this useful to antagonize president obama? >> i beg to disagree with you. we respect the american president

then binyamin netanyahu would have a fair point. >> good to see you both again. thanks for joining us on "inside story". >>> when saudi arabia and arab partners unleashed air strikes into yemen. the world's oil markets took notice. oil prices spiked. ali velshi joins us to tell us what it could mean for supply and demand and your walt. it's "inside story". >>> welcome back to "inside story" on al jazeera america i'm ray suarez. on tuesday we focused our programme on yemen's deteriorating stake. houthi rebels controlling the capital sanaa and large chunks of the country and have the government on the run of the saudi arabia joined the fight against the houthis with air strikes. our guest, former ambassador to yemen saw the escalation coming. >> there are outside players. primarily saudi arabia and iran, who are turning it into something of a proxy war. so what you have are at least three players, maybe more, who are taking advantage of the inherently weak yemen. and all of the political crackvacuums to play out their battles. >> egypt is prepared to join the fray

free binyamin netanyahu to take action against iran. >> it's the u.s. france britain, china, russia. >> the u.s. has been a reluctant member of the group. >> it's not so much a question of the u.s. isolating israel and the rest of the community going in a direction, and israel not having strong concerns about the deal. israel saying we want to go it alone, and we want to change the democratic process in the u.s. which is how to make the foreign policy so you, washington come with us leaving behind france britain, china. >> you can't make the countries do what they want to do. >> is there a legitimate expectation. after, as noted. sticking its neck out for israel. that the streets somehow open as a 2-way streets. >> there'll always be a distance. >> i don't agree with the republican friends. i think they will continue to do that. but i differ with heather on the talks. these are the talks between the united states and iran. united states pushed the concessions. including concessions allow iran to operate 6,000 centrifuges, rich enuranium that it can make

this was binyamin netanyahu in 2002. and when a witness is so wrong on past advice, i question why congress would be impressed with his testimony today. >> whether the israeli prime minister comes or doesn't come, speak or doesn't speak, there's a sizeable number of members of the body of whom you serve that if we would turn of the screws harder we'd get more results. there's no doubt we hurt that country in the last two years. >> there's no question that the sanctions put pressure on iran. i believe the new fact was the location of hassan rouhani, and his government. i mooef they are termed and anxious to make a deal with the p5+1. for the first time in 40 years, there's a government in washington and tehran that wants to improve relations between the united states and iran. i hope we have enough vision to take advantage of the moment. i would conclude by observing that the relationship between israel and the united states is historic. it's not going to be in the long term significantly affected by the political theatre

had binyamin netanyahu waited and called the election.lson said is free paper may him. >> binyamin netanyahu is disappointed in seeing his coalition partners supporting the law, and encouraged him, amongst a bunch of other issues to see the coalition was not works and it was a good idea to have a snap election. >> translation: no one produced a smoking gun to do this. the war is the reason binyamin netanyahu gave. seems we will never truly know what happened. if it was not the main reason, it was a factor, and there's a depend between them that is concerning. and because of all the coverage that adelson gave binyamin netanyahu, he owes him a favour, and needs to dance to his tune. >> it is not the first free newspaper to be introduced into the israeli media scope. it's the biggest one, to pass a law that forbids anyone distributing a newspaper for free. if a propeace group has no funding. starts a newspaper and wants to distribute it saying we want peace with the palestinians now we demand negotiations and police stops them and says they

it depends if they'll recommend binyamin netanyahu. binyamin netanyahu still in trouble. >> comparing iphones to politicians. great stuff >>> iran's president is expressing object mix that his government can reach a deal over the nuclear programme. the comments made in busch air, where one of the facilities is based. the two seeds tried to reach a deal on how to limit the programme before the deadline at the end of this month. to switzerland, and james base is there. is it there a tangible sign of progress. >> we are getting different noises of different groups the u.s. showing quite a bit of work to be done. they have tempered the opt mitch. the foreign minister doesn't thing a deal can be down this week in this round of talks. they'll paws for the iranian celebration. the deadline considering as we speak, talks going in in losan. the main talks between the atomic agency. there's one big technical detail to be resolved. after that secretary of state john kerry and foreign minister zarif will be sitting down on the key issue of sanctio

addel son - pro binyamin netanyahu. he increased the circulation to 550,000 to ensure that he will see this point of view. the threat that binyamin netanyahu laid out from iran is very real. in saying that. i would argue that this is perhaps the most widely read newspaper in israel. this is called and is scathele of binyamin netanyahu. the headline is neutral, when you go into the op-eds where you get a sense where some are thinking about binyamin netanyahu's speech flagging an issue that most israelis don't see as an existential threat that he is ignoring the key issues that they are facing israelis, which is less than two weeks time which is the economy, and perhaps significantly, and the reason he gets the most scorn from the papers and personalities within the media is the relationship with the united states which many fear is seriously damaged because of this speech. as we know the white house is not happy about the speech na binyamin netanyahu was invited by the republicans, and did not seem approval to go ahead w

binyamin netanyahu described the trip as a crucial megs. mission -- mission. >> i feel i'm representing up those of israel, a representative of the entire jewish people. i feel concern for the safety and concern of all citizens of israel. i'll do everything in my power to consider the future >>> there is outrage, the most influential israeli lobby group begins, questions are asked as to whether the relationship between the two countries is shifting. we have more from washington. >> reporter: delegates to the conference of the u.s.'s powerful israel lobby group was greeted by a small group of protesters, police were determined to keep the opponents outside on the freezing pavement. in recent weeks. opposition surfaced elsewhere, amongst politicians who have been staunch defenders. binyamin netanyahu's decision to address a joint session of congress without consulting the president obama administration led to a debate about the nature of the u.s. relationship >> there seems to be an attempt to close over differences. >> u.s. politicians were

where israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu made his case against a nuclear deal. he warned an opposed agreement will not prevent iran making nuclear weapons, instead it paves the way for getting a bomb and added that the deadline for making the deal is a count down to a potential nuclear nightmare. >> this was unprecedented. a later of a foreign country addressing congress to criticize the policy of their own president. binyamin netanyahu is here at the invitation of the opposition party and over the objection of president obama. >> here to talk about iran and negotiations over the nuclear programme. >> this deal has two concession, one leading iran with a fast nuclear programs and, two lifted the restrictions on the programme in a sec aid. that's why the deal is bad. it doesn't block iran add path to the bomb it paves it much. >> claims the whot disputes and the (white house -- white house disputes and the president pushed back. >> binyamin netanyahu didn't offer alternatives. >> binyamin netanyahu spoke about the holocaust and other etches and asked the white ho

it's been clear that binyamin netanyahu is presenting a point of view. we can't necessarily say that the israeli - there's plenty of people with a gamut of opinions many would say hang on there's elections in two weeks time. the fact that binyamin netanyahu is able to appear statesman like and address the u.s. congress is bound to last his appearance and images, and international statesman. there are people that would say that binyamin netanyahu's statements are more to do with getting elected, than defend israel's security interests. the motion will continue. the key thing is that there is really one session maybe a couple of sessions available. the secretary of state has a tight schedule. he'll come in against other opinions, other concerns from many of the gulf arabs that are concerned as well about what they see as a shift in balance, and they'll be concerned about seeing a position, within the region, that it could be strengthened. the secretary of state finding that it's impossible to please some of the people some of the times. >> thank you >>> in

binyamin netanyahu -- country at risk. >> binyamin netanyahu said it would delay iran's acquisition of a nuclear bomb rather than prevent it. it was said that israel's leader was not offering a viable alternative and the speech was labelled boring and competitive. >> iraq's army is fighting to regain control of i.s.i.l. thousands of soldiers and militia men are part of the offensive, which is the biggest in the region since the middle of last year. >> the three west african countries hardest hit by the ebola outbreak is continuing a fight to drive cases down to zero. at a high-level conference delegates pledge to not only get them back on their feet but to make them stronger than ever. >> reporter: it's a year since the outbreak of the ebola epidemic, time for agencies to plan the next steps. >> we cannot be complacent. we are optimistic that we will contain the virus. >> the meeting began with a minute's silence in memory of all those who have lost their lives to the disease. nearly 10,000 died in liberia, guinea and sierra leone, and thousands more are infected. the goal is clear, an

in a nutshell what binyamin netanyahu's likud party is saying the two state solution, for binyamin netanyahuight now. he gives himself an in to restart the talks. he feels the middle east is, i suppose, in their terms again, so that the threats moving into areas vacated by the israelis, are agreed with. so again, a curious statement from the prime minister. >> just as you phrase it there, the 2-state solution dead leaving an avenue for reopening the conversation later, sound very much like election posturing. pushing a lot of buttons at the moment mr binyamin netanyahu - i'm thinking about his address on iran to a.p.a. c. what are his chances. >> mr binyamin netanyahu is concerned. he's running neck and neck in the polls, and many are reading the statement as a clear and cynicle method to his far right coalition partners who have stated for a long time that they are opposed to a palestinian state. this is his way of perhaps saying to stick with him. it is going to be a tough fight for binyamin netanyahu on the 17th of this month, when israelis go to the poll. thousands of israelis came out t

isaac herzog called binyamin netanyahu to congratulate hum on a win. the next step is for the president to attempt to form a coalition. >> here are the numbers. 99% of the votes are counted. results show the likud party has won 29 seats giving it a lead. it looks set to take 24 seats. binyamin netanyahu's promised not to allow the creeition of a palestinian state if he wins a fourth. the zionist union backs a 2-state solution. >> the newly formed arab party is on course to take 14 sheets. the joint will be the third largest political force in the knesset. we look at the implications of this unprecedented development. >> in a country where it takes up a fifth of the population the joint list is the third largest party in the knesset. it's an alignment of four parties running under one ticket and want to change the rules. it's believed if isaac herzog is chosen to form a coalition government he'd have to approach the joint list to participate. >> isaac herzog will call us we'll sit altogether before they join the joint list discuss it in the democratic w

binyamin netanyahu gave a speech to a.p.a. c, taking pains to ensure that differences with president obama should not split democrats and republicans in the support for israel. >> i regret some misperceived my visit as doing that. israel is a bipartisan issue and should remain. >> many are describing as a tactical mistake binyamin netanyahu's accepting the republican invitation to speak before a joint meeting of congress without notifying the white house, saying she's forcing democrats to choose between israel and obama. just as the negotiations to reach a framework agreement reaches is crucial phase. secretary of state john kerry signalled that binyamin netanyahu should not leak details of a deal that may be unacceptable. >> we are concerned by reports that suggests certain provisions may become public. doing so will make it difficult to reach the goal that israel and others say they share in order to get a good deal. >> president obama will not meet binyamin netanyahu. the counter dispute should not be exaggerated. >> ultima

binyamin netanyahu at this point may be nothing more than a distraction. i think that folks inside of iran, hard liners may use this as an example of why the u.s. can't be trusted, and why israel supposedly has a veto power over any deal. i think that negotiators put their heads down and are trying to get to a fine deal and hopefully will not allow binyamin netanyahu's speech and the rowing applause from congress create the impression that the u.s. would back out of a deal. that would undermine confidence >>> do you think that most every day iranian citizens want a deal? >> yes. >> you know there's polling done on this anecdotally. a deal is something that iranians overwhelmingly favour. this is clear. this was the promise that helps to getrain adds president elected -- get the president hassan rouhani elected. i think iranians are hopeful that the deal will happen. that said similar polls indicated that iranians think that it will be difficult to get the sanctions lifted and they don't necessarily trust that the united states will make good on the promise
