i know that for someone like netanyahu, ben—gvir and smotrich, he represents a threat because he speaksefully, they will be put in the corner to make a prisoner swap that would release all palestinian political prisoners. what do you make of the international response to what has happened in the last year and more to the palestinian people? if we�*re talking about the people, i think that i feel humbled and proud of the free people around the world who are protesting for the rights of the palestinian people. i see a glimpse of hope in there. i think that if you�*re a palestinian, especially in your 20s, in your 30s, it�*s very normal to feel so...depressed, and, you know, down, because... and disappointed with the international community and with the western governments themselves. i think that the western governments, they keep lecturing us about the human rights and the freedom and all these values, but when it comes to the palestinian people, everything changes, because they are supporting the israelis, no matter what, unconditionally. it�*s very interesting to me that, you know, eve

middle east for about past 15 years about the role of nra politics in electing and supporting ben-gvir and netanyahu who and the rightists against israeli liberals and it turns out that this is also an export that's being used in brazil and australia in argentina other places. so we're using the gun it's not so much the guns per se, but we're now exporting this, this model of anti-democracy through gun politics that is almost in a way that counter-narrative which is the consumer products, come in and now we're exporting the politics for, the rise of authoritarianism, an to it's in the 1990s really that the nra there's a switch an nra thinking from the second amendment is a uniquely american that makes america unique to the second amendment is a universal human right and other countries should also have the second amendment, and they're going to pushing that through often through these far right groups in places like, brazil, in australia, the uk, in new zealand and and they they've been, you know, partly successful at that. all right. we have 5 minutes left. we're going to enter our li

to account for this, he formed an alliance with extreme right wing figures, namely a man named ben-gvir man named smotrich, who one security person in the film calls jewish terrorists. and these people are hardcore right wingers, and netanyahu never would have been seen associating with five years ago. they've steered him in a very rightward direction, and i would argue now that we have this war in gaza, which is creating appalling casualties, he's extending that war and also probably resisting deals in terms of bringing the hostages back in order to continue to stay out of prison. >> how do you think the events of recent months will impact the trial? and and the public in israel, and their view of whether he should be held accountable for these things that you show? because obviously, it's been a very tumultuous time. and you obviously point out that he has made this right wing alliance. he has come under a lot of pressure from hostage families. but on the other hand, you know, recently they did the israeli forces decimated hezbollah, the assad regime has fallen. i'm just really intere

itamar ben gvir, the extreme right wing national security minister in netanyahu's government, calling for the attorney general to go. not for the first time, i should add. now, specifically, the attorney general has said, and i'm quoting here, that an investigation should be opened into suspicions of witness harassment and obstruction of justice. and as you say, this relates to prime minister benjamin netanyahu's own corruption trial, in which he's standing trial for alleged breach of trust, fraud and bribery charges that he vehemently denies. now, there's no investigation just yet. and certainly we're a very long way off seeing this come to court. i should note that sara netanyahu does have legal issues in the past that she's had to deal with. she was convicted in 2019 of misusing public funds. and the reason why this matters more than just being a bit of tittle tattle, if you like, about the prime minister's wife, is because many people will draw a direct line from the prime minister's legal problems to the plans to overhaul the judiciary. that went on for the best part of a year le
