the gaza strip and he wants to stay in town with stomach of bug, the latest pole by the israel democracy institute shows that only 15 percent of his res, want nothing. yahoo! to remain prime minister. do you agree with miss boots? i do think that he has a personal interest in not discussing the future. we heard that a wood cabinet meeting was cancelled last week. amid reports that method, you know, who doesn't want to discuss what happens after the war to why in this i can see. ready there are other things, unfortunately, it's not being in the hygiene, taken hostage by, by me, you know, especially because of your school option. it's, i, he needs to stay to stay out. also potentially not to go to j and not to net preschool watching time, never counting choice, it's natural conclusion. so in this sense we, i think this is, this is the case and yes, even though there's even. ready in the law as long jesus is choose that there is a combination of all between for the war and him saying impulse. but yes is, is, is levels of suppose you think these are the society is valid. you know what the user needs i

if you look at the data, opinion polls put out by the israel democracy institute published january 2, just over half of israelis think the intensive fighting should continue. about a quarter think that all palestinian prisoners being held in israeli jails should be freed. in exchange for those hostages even if it means an end to the fighting. from the government's perspective and prime minister netanyahu has been consistent in this. he said it is the military pressure itself that leads to the release of the hostages or push hamas to come back to the negotiating table to get another truce which of course we saw for a week ending on november 1st. and there have been comments and talks about maybe talks happening which happened about around the new year. but they don't seem to be going anywhere right now. 100 days on, there is no sign of the war ending and no sign of the hostages being released. it is worth noting that in the 100 days of conflict, israel has only succeeded in rescuing one hostage female soldier. it tried numerous times to free other hostages, it has failed to do so. so i

on the other hand, in a recent poll done by israel democracy institute, only 15% of israelis say they want netanyahu to stay on after the war ends. i know defining the end of this world is a little bit murky but with that said when you have actual support that kind of invalidates what he's saying. while i do believe he believes this, coming off the heels of this horrific terrorist attack, they still have over 100 hostages in gaza. i don't think his statement is very credible. he is certainly not gonna get the support from the united states or other regional leaders at the time. >> to your point there, there is so much internal opposition to him. he's facing corruption and bribery charges. israel's war minister says elections are needed. fresh elections are needed because israeli to not trust him. aided barack writing a new op-ed saying there needs to be new elections because he is warning netanyahu strategy will lead israel in a gaza quagmire. it risks eroding the american backing of israel. how much do you see that happening? the erosion of that backing? >> on one hand israel will al

and these numbers were backed up by a very popular and trusted think tank called israel democracy institute. but it's not just from the polls. we're seeing this on the streets out of course that you should video from the is ready to connect. it's not far from here. that was a small group of protesters who blocks one of the entrances. i bet cooling for elections, but not to mon is being repeated in protest across tel aviv and some also here in jerusalem out in hostages square. we've seen weeks of protests, many from the is where the captive family either a 136 people being held captive in golf at the moment. they were demanding to bring them back money with our install, a guarantee that language is now changing back, wanting to netanyahu to step down immediately. elections to be held. but it's not just that this is also political pressure by the guy that's who i just mentioned. didn't sign up for a cabinet, may sing along with 2 members of his national unity policy. a security cabinet, leasing that was held, fell apart. and so that was in fighting between as of top middle tree bras and also

institute for responsible statecraft. his piece for the nation is headlined "will israel drag the u.s. into another ruinous war?" welcome back to democracy now! we are talking to you on the blinken trip to the middle east, something like the fifth time he will be going back to israel and the west bank, and when he was in qatar this weekend, the day he arrived, al jazeera's reporter hamza al-dahdouh, the son of the gaza bureau chief of al jazeera, was killed in a u.s. air strike on a car that also killed an afp reporter. can you talk about the significance of this? >> this is the conflict in which we have seen or journalists being killed and in any other recent conflict. it increasingly appears as if those are not accidents but actually targeted. particularly in the case of this journalist, as you mentioned in your program, his family has been targeted, he has been targeted, and now his son has been killed as well. it increasingly looks as if israel is desiring to make sure al jazeera can no longer operate in gaza. it is largely thanks to al jazeera we know so much about what has been happening in gaza because they had a presence therefro

institute for responsible statecraft. he has authored three books on u.s. foreign policy in the middle east, with a particular focus on iran and israel. welcome back to democracynow! if you can talk about what took place at this remote base, the killing of the three u.s. soldiers, injury of about 40 others, and the drumbeat by republicans as well as democrats, as well as the media in the united states, for president biden to militarily respond. what would this mean? >> it depends on how five response. -- how biden response. if he is thinking about taking iran on iranian soil, is very likely there would be a forceful response by the iranians which will bring the unites states right into a shooting war. something the administration says they have been seeking to avoid. they repeated that message several times in the last couple of days. it is important to note all of this was predicted. from the beginning it was clear. as long as there is no material pressure on israel, this eventually would lead to a situation in which the united states would be faced with an attack that left americans killed. if you take a look at the statistics, there were about 60 tax by the
