now, this coalition would have a wide swath of parties from the left leaning labor parties to the centristbennett's right leaning party. but they are all united in the fact that they do not want to see netanyahu continue on as prime minister. i should warn, this is the fast evolving situation, the negotiations are ongoing, and even within the last hour or so, the prime minister issued a new offer to neftali bennett and the leader of another right wing party to have a three-way. goes to show you how quickly evolving the situation is, how fluid it is. if an agreement is reached and as soon as this evening in jerusalem, hear from neftali bennett, but whether they have reached an agreement, the new government could be sent to the parliament for approval and if approved we could see a new government and a new prime minister of israel sworn in within the week. boris. >> we mentioned there have been four elections in the last two years, so it has been shaky ground for netanyahu before this, but how much is the current crisis in gaza playing into this, hadas, and could it endanger the cease fire?

party rival consequent 55 percent of the vote a 50 year old victory one of few bright spots for the labor party which had a largely underwhelming showing in these local elections. while the pro independent scottish national party s.n.p. won its 4th straight parliamentary victory its leader nicolas sturgeon says it shows people are ready for another vote on scotland breaking away from the rest of the u.k. china has a report from edinburgh it's not the outright majority the scottish national party had hoped for but the election has produced a majority for independence with the s.n.p. bolstered by the greens 1st minister and s.n.p. leader nicolas sturgeon made clear what she intends to do with it for the s.n.p. and the scottish greens stood in a clear commitment to an independence referendum within the next parliament should tear and both of eyes be clear that the timing of a referendum should be to say by a simple majority of image in the scottish parliament. pandemic recovery is the immediate priority after that the plan is for the scottish parliament to legislate for a referendum to take place

i think the people on the other side of the aisle from merits to the labor party has shown a maturity and an idea that they can put their egos aside for the betterment of the country, and will it have lasting power? what do you do with the palestinians? how do you manage those situations? what if there is pressure from the u.s. administration on the free settlement, and how do you management? if they can keep their eye on the goal, which is how to advance israel out of nearly three years of political instability, no state budget. this is what they need to focus on. i think if they are mature and they understand that and it seems they do, they can move forward and potentially succeed. >> and as you point out, i mean, bennett is more right wing than netanyahu in many, many ways, and particularly when it comes to the palestinians. he clearly has stated no two state solution, for example, and he said a lot more than that. what does it mean for that process, which is already sort of stalemated by even the palestinian leadership as well and perhaps a lack of u.s. engagement, distractions? >
