this knesset will be dissolved and if this knesset is dissolved, the government will be dissolved. and early elections should be held within 3 months, which is what the opponents of netanyahu want, the opponents want, and finally, in a very precise timing , new elections will be held by october next year, which will be the anniversary of the start of this war, and the netanyahu government will go. apart from the fact that it has a very different symbolic effect on the people and politicians in general, it is not the same factor that netanyahu is grabbing so much everywhere. he is struggling, maybe this is the end of the government, he sees his own power, maybe he has this what is your prediction? yes , not only now, this has become clear since the beginning of the war, and almost all the experts in israel are raising the same issue. look, last night was a meeting of the political and security cabinet. usually, there are very serious and heavy meetings in this. the meeting of ganses, who entered this cabinet as an expert on war issues , was almost silent, that is, he did not say any

yes, as you said , a meeting is going to be held in the knesset today. the leadership of the opposition and tanyahu is clearly under the responsibility of mr. yari lapid. they have reached a conclusion that they will hold polls in the knesset session and they are looking for the dismissal of prime minister netanyahu, but the issues that exist are that, in general, we have two or three possibilities to remove netanyahu . and people like lieberman are looking for it, a condition this is happening, and that is to be able to get the majority of votes, considering that the majority of the second solution that netanyahu's opponents are pursuing is actually putting pressure on people like benigant to force him to leave the regime's war cabinet. if a zionist is removed from netanyahu's cabinet, in this way, this will actually cause pressure to hold a vote again because the cabinet is derecognized, this is more likely, just as it was reported in the news, mr. benny ganses has threatened benjamin netanyahu that if to a comprehensive solution for the discussion of

i think -- i was in israel last week in the knesset engaged with people active in the knesset, and itclear to me that his survival as premier will depend on achieving -- getting heads, to put it crudely. christian: well, i wanted to ask you about that, oliver. this tweet from the security minister, who is in the israeli cabinet, certainly tells us how it has been received on the israeli right. let's not forget he is one of the main elements within the war cabinet who is putting pressure on benjamin netanyahu to go into rafah. do you think the prime minister is effectively boxed in here? oliver: i honestly think, christian, that netanyahu himself is more in line with the ben-givrs that we tend to think. they have given him the opportunity to express more publicly what his own attitude and mindset has been throughout his premiership. there has been numerous occasions when he had the support that he could have negotiated a settlement with the palestinians but chose not to. i don't take -- i don't excuse him so easily, saying he is boxed in and it is pressure from the extreme right that h

agreeing 106 knesset members out of 120 on anything by mr. prime minister, you say that the majority, the american people are with you on this plan but a poll from the israel democracy institute from this month showed a majority of israelis, 56% say getting the hostages back home should be a higher priority than military cree action in rafah. don't you just fundamentally disagree with the majority of the israeli people well, i've seen other numbers, but i take a different thing. >> i don't say this is more important. that is more important. i say both of them are important and in fact, the military action that we take against hamas is in fact the way to get these hostages, because without military pressure, basically, without squeezing them, hamas is not going to give up anything that's the reason they gave up the first half of the hostages. and that's the reason they'll give up the second half. so i don't see i see them as complementary and not contradictory goals. and i intend to fulfill both of them before you go, sir, we should know. well

if i were a member of the knesset and meeting with her i would be asking myself how long?uivocate? what's your number two years ago when russia invaded ukraine, she was a hawk for democracy and then donald trump decided to fan boy over vladimir putin think in her support crumbled she voted against aid for ukraine just a month ago. she will do the same thing for all of our allies of president trump so it dictates. we just saw her tie herself into knots and tried to defend her flip-flop and she will do the same for any any other ally this is in contrast to president biden. shannon: she's not here to it answer on the issue and i know there are number of reasons that members voted against those particular aid packages. let's stick to israel for just a minute she said it is confusing to israel t there mixed message. the president said there are certain things he will not send so yes transfers are continuing, fair to say he is publicly indicated exact going to send everything that you guys approved in the bill he signed to send. >> the presence committed to sending every dollar

thank you, it was a member of the israeli knesset, vladimir belyak.he story of the international criminal court promises many twists and turns. we have discussed more than once that the idea of ​​supranational universal justice itself is a product of the liberal world order, the development of its logic. only now it turns out that it is applied selectively, thereby destroying the principle itself. at first, the clinton administration supported the idea of ​​​​creating an international criminal court; in 2000, the president signed the rome statute, but in the document did not reach the senate for ratification; the initiative itself was repeatedly criticized. the bush administration believed that cooperation with moose threatened the sovereignty of national interests; in particular , they feared that the icc might convict american military personnel. for their actions abroad as part of operation enduring freedom. as a result, in 2002, george w. bush withdrew washington's signature and passed the american military protection act, which stipulates that no

we asked knesset member from the opposition party ezh atid, vladimir belik, how they assess everythingpening in israel. confession palestinian statehood by three european countries, does this mean anything from israel's point of view? we are talking about a colossal political failure of our government, and because on october 7 we had a huge international one. written on the gate, and people with flags of spain, ireland and norway are carrying, apparently, hamas, and bibi has been completely forgotten. tiaga lucas of brazil, spain, ireland and norway have recognized the palestinian state. apparently, an extremely relevant political gesture, according to the artist. patrick chapat from switzerland. the israeli army reports. hamas has not been destroyed, the hostages have not been released. success - says the man who looks like netanyahu is still in power. scandalous burchard mohr from germany about the contradictions in the european union regarding palestine. the drawing is called a test. israel and palestine are written on the corners of the house. on the car itself is the european unio

we had a member of the israeli knesset saying how disappointed his government does, republicans beinguse is defending its decisions. >> this has caused tensions with progressives and conservatives. progressives are saying this is a step in the right direction but they want to see the administration go further with withholding aid to israel. the white house is holding defensive weapons. their commitment to israel is ironclad. you have some democrats and republicans very upset about this decision to hold these bombs back from israel. that would have been more than 3,000 bombs delivered but the white house says at the bottom line is their concern about how those weapons could be used and they don't want to see more deaths in gaza which have now passed more than 30,000 palestinians there. so something we have heard from the vice president and other members of the administration is they do not want to see this indiscriminate is the term they're using, they do not want to see indiscriminate bombing of the area. they want to see israel take more precautions for civilians. >> thank you, we ap

, and you've been in the knesset, and you've been in the israeli parliament for nine years, but you've taken quite a hard line on that, in spite of your otherwise quite liberal views. >> absolutely. i mean, for nine years, my fight in the parliament was how to shape israel's future, to reduce regulation and bureaucracy and taxes and, and, you know , we've taxes and, and, you know, we've been talking about limiting the power of the unions , but once power of the unions, but once the 7th of october happened, everything's been pushed to the side because this is a fight on our survival . all this is going our survival. all this is going to dictate whether my children, my three babies are going to be able to have a future in their home, in their country. what we've experienced on the 7th of october, that is the worst nightmare a mother can ever imagine. and actually , she came imagine. and actually, she came into our reality and the only mission that i have right now as a parliament member is to make sure that this thing will never happen again . happen again. >> but what limits should ther

now , contrary to netanyahu's claim, the situation has turned out to be such that the member of the knesset says that israel is the loser of the war anyway. do whatever is necessary for the survival of the government jew to continue. mohammad hassan nikbeen, sed and broadcasting news agency. the united states threatened georgia that it will review its relations with this country if it implements the so-called transparency of foreign influence bill. white house spokesperson karin jean-pierre said that the united states is deeply concerned about the approval of this bill in the georgian parliament, and that president the president of this country wants to veto it. yesterday, the parliament of georgia approved the foreign influence transparency bill with 84 votes out of 172 votes. according to this bill, political groups and media in georgia must declare the aid received from abroad to the government. do this bill has been opposed by western supporters in georgia. the flow of volcanic lava in the indonesian province of sumatra left at least 57 dead. 22 people are still missing. the flow of the

amit holloway, a member of the zionist knesset in response to this level of resistance. in the north of the gaza strip, he said: all 24 battalions of hamas are still present in the gaza strip and not even one of them has been destroyed. previously, netanyahu had claimed that only four hamas battalions were left in rifa, and he justified the attack on rifa with this claim . the chief of staff of the zionist regime recently criticized the regime's lack of strategy in the war against gaza and said that the army is suffering from a vicious cycle of attacks on the regions. the gaza strip has been different. army yemen shot down an american plane in stanab in the northeast of yemen. some unofficial sources announced the type of this drone as umko-9. about 20 days ago, the yemeni army shot down another drone of this type in the sky of saad province. amk 9 is one of the most expensive and advanced american drones, the cost of which is 32. million dollars. the yemeni army has shot down eight drones in the last seven years. warplanes and drones of the zionist regime attacked two a

al-jazeera itself has already responded to this decision of the knesset, calling it a criminal act contraryional and humanitarian law. this is a very dangerous decision against al jazeera and against the international media in general, because at least it is clear that they want to prevent anyone else from finding out what is happening in this war in the gas sector. inside israel, on the west bank. this decision was the result of the incitement to which we have been subjected since the first day of this war. al-jazeera today is one of the largest middle eastern media networks, its journalists are always at the center of events taking place in the region, and the palestinian-israeli conflict is no exception. many of the employees literally put their lives on this. october 7th last year, several correspondents of tv channel operators died in the gas strip, about the real state of affairs in which... trucks with help, albeit intermittently, are improving the humanitarian situation and although they still reach the people who are waiting so much here, radically change the situation without stop

amit hallivy, diet knesset member in response to this level of resistance in the north of the gaza strip, the zionist said: all 24 battalions. hamas is still present in the gaza strip and not even one of their battalions has been destroyed. before this, netanyahu had claimed that there are only four hamas battalions left in rafah and justified the attack on rafah with this claim. the chief of staff of the zionist regime recently criticized the lack of strategy of this regime in the war against gaza and said that the army is suffering from a vicious cycle of attacks on different areas. the gaza strip is the media of the zionist regime reported for the first time that lebanon's hezbollah fired a drone armed with missiles air to earth used the s-5 type against the regime's forces in the matallah region in the north of occupied palestine . during this hezbollah operation, three zionist soldiers were injured and one of these soldiers died in the hospital due to the severity of his injuries. for the first time in the past 8 months, lebanon's army fired two s-50 air-to-ground missiles from its

i think right across the party spectrum in the knesset, netanyahu has support for the military option to them constantly is if you want to see the demise of resistance generally in palestine, there is one option, and that is and occupation. ifearwhat there is one option, and that is and occupation. i fear what is there is one option, and that is and occupation. ifear what is happening in rafah now will only prolong the insecurity of israel in the region. oliver, thank you very much for being with us.— oliver, thank you very much for bein: with us. . ~ ,, , . being with us. thank you very much, christian. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's take a look at some of the other stories in the headlines. labour's newest mp, natalie elphicke, has apologised for comments she made in support of her ex—husband after he was convicted of sexual assault in 2020. she said in an interview at the time that he was "attractive" and an "easy target for dirty politics". on thursday, ms elphicke told the bbc she was committed to tackling violence against women. the bank of england h

, even if ganz leaves the war cabinet and takes his members of the knesset with him netanyahu still has the numbers and does not have to face the electrode until october 2026. and so as long as he can keep his ministers in the fall, especially those far-right ministers, bezalel smotrich. and it's my bank in the fold as part of his government then it really won't have any practical impact on the political landscape just yet. but certainly it adds to some of the pressure on netanyahu, not just from benny gantz, not just from me. i've got onto is in his own party, but also of course, the international pressure that netanyahu has been facing over the way that he's been handling this war with hamas now pressure from all sides there and then eliot's on the aid from the us floating pier. we saw sad scenes of desperately hungry people in gaza, which just illustrates the need for more aid. >> absolutely. >> not only would we not be seeing those scenes if enough aid, we're getting in, but you wouldn't need this $320 million floating pier that the us has built and financed in the first place and s

minister netanyahu and the israeli people, they remain very focused on — excuse me — the israeli knessethey stated shortly after october seven, which was the military elimination of hamas inside of the gaza strip, as well as the governing ability inside of gaza as well. so, i am confident that that offensive will continue and as the prime minister stated today during the ceremonies, he is focused on achieving that end state, even if there is a temporary ceasefire, which is why he's not agreeing to a permanent ceasefire. 0k, latrobe ritomo jermell mark 0k, latrobe ritomojermell mark schwarzer who served as the us security consort for israel and palestinian territory, thank you much —— retired lou tennant mark schwartz. ok, you served as the us security co—ordinator —— while 0rthodox christians in russia and ukraine celebrated easter on sunday, fighting continued. a russian assault killed two people in ukraine's eastern donetsk region. moscow also says its forces seized a village in the region — the latest in a string of small territorial gains. separately, drone and bomb attacks on the no

foreign media, or allowing the government to shut down foreign media working in israel, was in the knesset. there were threats from israeli ministers that they want to shut down aljazeera. that was repeated for about two months now. so it wasn't a real surprise. although me, myself, i didn't believe that it will happen, because we have been operating in israel since 1997 without real problem. we can work freely there. but in the past few years, that wasn't the case. it was a little bit more difficult, and it increased in the past six months. aljazeera's coverage has accused israel of committing specific crimes during the war. i've gone on your website today, and there are those terms being used. do you believe that could be considered anti—israel bias, as prime minister benjamin netanyahu has accused aljazeera of? aljazeera, as any other media organisation, does not accuse anyone of committing a crime. when we do an investigation, we do all the due diligence, examine all the evidence from all points of views. in the process, we are very objective because we don't leave one fact unobserved,

outside the knesset today, mr netanyahu's opponents had gathered to protest his handling of the war.rime ministerfacing such criticism at home, criticism from the international court might actually help. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. for more analysis, here's luis moreno ocampo — he's a former prosecutor of the international criminal court. he says israel's leader should go the court to plead his case. the prosecutor has a role. he investigated hamas crimes, and he considered, on the hamas crimes, hamas leaders are responsible. he's not charging israel for the crimes committed on october 7 — he's charging netanyahu for different crimes, including starvation — and that is his activities, not hamas activity. so he's basically presenting at the same time different crimes committed by different people. and, if i may, ithink it's an opportunity, mr netanyahu, to receive an arrest warrant he's still innocent — as are hamas leaders, they're not convicted. so they could call the judges and say, "look, don't issue an arrest warrant against me. i will go voluntarily to the hague and gi

at the same time, a crowd of people gathered outside the knesset building, they are against the way netanyahu is waging this war, so the prime minister, whom i criticize so much... at home, criticism from the international criminal court can actually help. it should be added that israel does not recognize the jurisdiction of the international criminal court, but the palestinians do. this court has been considering palestine as a state since 2015. the palestinians have observer status in the un and hence could sign the roman statute. but what kind of court is this? the international criminal court is located in the hague and has jurisdiction over pursue individuals and leaders for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. and, for example, in 2023, on the initiative of the same prosecutor karim khan, the court issued a warrant for the arrest of the president of russia , vladimir putin, and the russian case manager for the children, maria lviv and bilova, for the illegal deportation of ukrainian children from the occupied territories. but not all countries signed the rome statute, which

it follows this decision by the cabinet, a vote in the israeli parliament, the knesset, last month.t would give the government the power to close down for a period which would then be reviewed, around a0—50 days. essentially, it would close down the offices of aljazeera in israel. it would close down the broadcast of its english—language and its arabic—language channels in israel. it would confiscate some of its equipment, some of its material. and also access to its websites would be... i'm not sure entirely stopped, but there would be moves to try and prevent that happening. this has been something which the israeli government has really been thinking of, and working towards, for quite a long time. yes, because the israeli authorities have attacked the network, haven't they? yeah, they have said for years it is anti—israel, it's pro—palestinian, it's anti—semitic. to some degree you've heard some voices saying... i mean, aljazeera does present more than perhaps most big tv networks in its english language incarnations. its arabic—language carnation perhaps more palestinian voices,

we are going to speak tonight to someone from the israeli knesset, and i know from a briefing conversationwe've heard before from the israeli government. i wonder what you make of that, officially? i mean, we've heard this a lot. unwra is not part of the problem. unwra is the largest aid entity operation on the ground in gaza. we're the ones who are essentially keeping people alive. we're providing flour. we're providing food to almost 1.9 million people, 85, 90% of the population. we're providing 25,000 health care consultations for, you know, for people, refugees and non—refugees inside gaza. historically, palestinian refugees have enjoyed some of the highest rates of literacy, the best health outcomes in this part of the region. unwra is absolutely not part of the problem. and whereas what's keeping gaza going sadly right now and we have a collective responsibility and israel has a responsibility as per the findings of the the international court ofjustice. asi as i say we will speak to a member of the israeli parliament to get some answers on the cease—fire, why it is currently stalled

i think it's outrageous for a member of the knesset to create massive —— massive humanitarian disastergaza and have the audacity to blame the un for not dealing with it when clearly un agencies have been screaming and pleaded and implored four months along with other aid agencies for israel to one, open the borders to facilitate the transfer of aids, including essentialfood and water and medical supplies, and number two, and water and medical supplies, and numbertwo, ensure and water and medical supplies, and number two, ensure that there is safe passage in a war zone, where it is impossible to transfer aid want to just is impossible to transfer aid want tojust come through is impossible to transfer aid want to just come through the border into the propositions that most need it. so i thought that was particularly outrageous, but also, i think it's interesting, there was a poll i was of israel today so distant mustard —— much of the population would prefer a deal to free the hostages over a military incursion in rafah, which, by the way, rafah has already been bombarded, we are already

know at present the netanyahu coalition, it's not only one person he has a majority of 64 out of 120 knessety are all supporting him. after october 7 me and many other israeli, we were sure that this government will follow in a matter of weeks it's still is extremely stable it enjoys widespread support but history is never linear. and we can still hope that people will, will come to their senses what is at stake? i think is really it's not just israel. i think the entire jewish people is at a historical junction that when we need to reflect on the history of the jewish people, you know, for 2000 years if you go back 2000 years to the great jewish revolt against the romans in the first century ce it was led by religious zealots who thought that god will help them to defeat the roman empire. and they were wrong. they brought a terrible disaster on the heads of the head if the jewish people, and i think netanyahu is building up to beam the next simon bar kokhba, who led one of these disastrous revolts and when the romans destroyed the jerusalem and the temple, they changed the nature of judaism

sharren haskel is a member of the israeli knesset and she sits on the national security committee.cia chief, was so involved in it? the proposal that actually arrived yesterday was not really discussed with israel, not with the partners that were discussing it for a number of months now. this was a proposal that was brought, i believe, just through hamas. and this is the kind proposal that we cannot accept. hang on, bill proposal that we cannot accept. hang on. ltill iturns — proposal that we cannot accept. hang on, bill burns was _ proposal that we cannot accept. hang on, bill burns was in _ proposal that we cannot accept. hang on, bill burns was in cairo the last weekend, israel was invited to attend and did not send. so wasn't the israeli war cabinet�*s mistake that they went to cross the detail out at the critical juncture? the out at the critical “uncture? the last four months i out at the criticaljuncture? iia: last four months we out at the criticaljuncture? tia: last four months we have out at the criticaljuncture? ii9: last four months we have been out at the criticaljunct

i've been seeing many of them on the news have gone to the knesset who are understandably so grief stricken waiting for their family members to come home and we have to move to a cease-fire, we also have to make sure, this is the responsibility of all of us that we are really abating the humanitarian crisis that is developing every day in gaza and that we are stopping the innocent killing of innocent civilians. >> we need to get to a 2 state solution and we will get to that but tomorrow i'm excited we will be voting tomorrow, tomorrow we are going to pass the bill to bring aid to israel, $26 billion of aid to israel and it will be bipartisan and that is what i do best. i work bipartisan. i work across the party lines but we also have $9 billion of aid to help rebuild gaza. those folks deserve a job, a future, and hope. if they have hope we will not have hamas. >> much more to come, stay with us. our candidate forum will continue after the break. welcome back. our candidate forum continues tonight. i have the next question for our candidates. the question tonight is what approach should the

lot of work on the part of all parties and the republican congresswoman elise stefanik was at the knesset today and gave a speech, i just want to play some of her remarks for everyone but total victory is something to many others throughout the free world fail to understand total victory starts, but only starts with wiping those responsible for october 7 off the face of the earth there can be no retrievable dignity for hamas, and its backers you were just talking about how hamas, we've seen them returning in northern gaza specifically among in this power vacuum that's been created after the idf leaves. >> i'm just curious in your opinion that their object that israeli objective from the prime minister is to eradicate hamas to it, to wipe them off the planet. is that possible to totally eradicate hamas all right. >> i think one of the problems involved in this war has been not really having a clear definition of what constitutes victory. i know that netanyahu talked about totally destroying hamas. that's not going to happen everybody knows that's not going to happen. what you can do is go

now, speaking to the knesset yesterday, netanyahu said the strike was a, quote, tragic mishap.blished a transcript where they changed those words to tragic incident. meanwhile, kirby, from the white house reminded the world one way or the other, the israelis are also victims. maybe some people forgotten what happened on the 7th of october, but we haven't. 1200 israelis, innocent israelis slaughtered, mutilated, raped, tortured and they're living right next to that kind of threat, still a viable threat in rafah. by the way, if you think hamas is just gone, they're not gone from gaugh, rafah or from gaza. and if you think they've abandoned their genocidal intent towards the nation of israel, think again. they haven't. so israel has every right to not want to live next to that kind of threat. and yes, we're going to continue to provide them the capabilities to go after it. other international news a group of american lawmakers are in taiwan, solidifying the alliance between the us and the island nation. these sorts of displays upset the chinese. french president macron says the uk

i was interviewing, i'm broke the knesset last night and asking him what he thought about biden's decision specifically withhold the bombs. and of course, he said he was disappointed that they had to push ahead. but that's what people will say publicly. barack, should we read in mourn what is happening? what, what kind of meetings like what you're talking about is happening and the fact that they haven't gone in two rafah proper just yet, is that what we should be paying more attention to? >> i think that we just heard what secretary blinken said earlier today. what he said is the exact same thing that netanyahu from his idf chief of staff major general herzi halevi. it's the exact same thing you use from his minister of defense because you have garland is the exact thing. years from two members of his war cabinet former idf chiefs of staff, benny gantz and gadi eisenkot they all tell him one thing. you want to go into rafah let's have a discussion about what's the strategic goal? what do we want to do after we take refer? how do we want to see the situation over there? and this is what th

he's a member of israel's knesset, a former israeli ambassador to the united nations. mr. vassar, thanks so much for joining us this afternoon. i just first want to get your reaction to the state department report on israel's use of us weapons in gaza jessica, we haven't seen very yet, but i can tell you one thing. the way we conduct the wall, we take all precautions in order to make sure we minimize casualties for civilians. >> and we have proved it the very fact that as we speak, we're asking but relation to move let's do a different area. you just shows you that it takes us too long, seven months to operate in gaza. but that's only because we do it slowly. we try to minimize civilian casualties. and we will continue to do that. and i think i will friends in the that aware that they know what's happening the ground. >> and then they should they actually look at the fact what's happening here, regardless of those allegation that will every once in awhile right. and they did look at the facts they had. they it was a long research report and yet the president has warned isr

here in washington you had at least a phonic boeing giving this kind of fiery address to the israeli knesset how do you see the events, the breaking news at playing out in terms of the conversation here in washington. >> look, i think it underscores how very carefully american officials are moving on the situation i mean, obviously, the middle east is a powder keg in any sort of, even if there wasn't foul play involved, any sort of event like this could sort of spark a chain reaction, especially play at a time when you have iran allied with hezbollah and hamas obviously in the israel-gaza war. >> so i think american officials are going to move very, are the administration i should say are going to be think very carefully, but i think the administration will also get a lot of pressure still from people like elise stefanik from republicans to take an even more hard line stance on iran all right, truly manchester for us, julia. thank you very much for being here this morning are coming up next. >> we're going to continue to follow this breaking news out of iran where they're president has been
