out and those things together i think combined with again a very aggressive negative campaign by the likud and its own yahoo himself against the participation of arab citizens almost blaming them before the elections for preparing to steal the elections in many ways the legitimizing their participation in the political system led to an additional layer of defiance that said not only do we want to be integrated into the political system we reject the fact that you're trying to keep us out until i saw you nodding there and that of course led to a strong result with 13 seats ok though i saw you nodding through some of what dahlia was saying did you want to add something to that. dalia's analysis is brilliant but in the end the politicians make the decisions and benny gantz can't make himself look too close to the arab population or he loses potential of getting a right wing party to jump out of the $55.00 and enable him to form a government and also make it harder for him to eventually with the likud if netanyahu indeed gets harmed by the charges that are going to be. officially indicting him

$55.00 and enable him to form a government and also make it harder for him to eventually with the likud if netanyahu indeed gets harmed by the charges that are going to be. officially indicting him during dances 1028 days that he has to form a government there needs to be enough for it right then went against who has the exclusive ability to form a government to get the likud to oust its now which is not going to be easy to do so even though there was a report this morning against going to be negotiating with a joint list of arab knesset members it's not going to happen it is going to meet with them cordially but those will not be negotiations and what amal said about them becoming opposition leader that's not going to happen either even if they end up being the largest faction that isn't part of the government it doesn't automatically go to the largest faction all the parties that would remain outside would unite together behind the jewish candidate so little by little the arab population has moved forward during this election because of the citizens and i'm a note of the leader of the

month which still counts as blue and white party neck and neck with prime minister benjamin netanyahu likud party netanyahu was given the 1st opportunity to form a coalition but he failed to do that earlier this week how a force that brings us the latest now from western. well this is a fairly major moment in israeli politics a pretty big psychological moment for the israeli electorate looking at someone for the 1st time in 10 years who wasn't benjamin netanyahu standing next to the israeli president and being given the opportunity to form a government benny gantz the former army chief said that he would do so with a mixture of trepidation humility and pride but the trepidation is pretty well placed because the the challenges facing him in trying to form a national unity government a liberal national unity government which is what he said again this evening that he wanted to do are just as big if not bigger than those facing benjamin netanyahu whose own efforts ended in failure on monday the problem is that blue and white led by benny gantz wants to form that government with netanyahu so th

neither mr netanyahu's likud nor mr gantz‘s blue and white party gained enough support in the septembers socialist government has confirmed that it will exhume the remains of the former military dictator, general francisco franco, on thursday. it follows a lengthy legal battle to remove his body from the valley of the fallen monument which commemorates the victims of the spanish civil war. franco's remains will be reburied the same day in a municipal cemetery just outside madrid. and two anglers have been filmed very close to a giant "plug hole" in a reservoir in central england. overflow water goes down the hole into a tunnel and eventually flows into the river below the dam — which is not somewhere the anglers would want to go. they did move away safely in this instance. lebanon's government has approved a package of economic reforms in an attempt to quell the country's biggest protests in years. in the last five days, hundreds of thousands have marched to oppose government corruption and the cost of living. and the measures being offered to them include steps to cut lebanon's huge de
