in jerusalem we're joined now mike hanna mike back when benjamin netanyahu convincingly won the election, it seemed like a done deal that he would be able to form a government. what happened in the intervening weeks? where did he go wrong? >> it's a very good question. there was absolutely no indication that with less than two hours ago to his deed lynn to announce the formation of the government he still negotiating. he's still in negotiations with the usual home party. that's a short answer to your question. netanyahu started off by signing a deal with the ultra orthodox religious parties. that drove way lieberman, a person who he thought he would have his supports. >> he promised the ultra orthodox religious groups a reinstatement of privileges that had been taken away by preaches government paying state welfare benefits and doing away with military service for religious students. this drove away potential partners particularly avigdor lieberman. with the significance of that they have eight seats in parliament. at present netanyahu has 53. he needs eight to get 61 to get the majority

mike hanna explains >>> it went to the wire. at the last moment was an agreement reached. leader securing major concessions before agreeing to throw in eight seats. it gave the israeli prime minister the support of the majority in parliament a slim majority of one. time is of the essence. not only because i'm leaving now to call the president and the chairman of the knesset to tell them i have managed to form a government. but we'll need to form it by next week to give a strong and stable government to the state of israel >>> the full extent of the concessions will become apparent in coming days as binyamin netanyahu finalis the composition of his cabinet. but it's clear that this will be a government of extreme right wing sensibility. jewish homes have their roots in the settlement movement. and the leader called for the creation of more settlements not less along with the expulsion of palestinians. the government will be at the mercy of two ultra orthodox parties, which demanded and been granted the pledge of renewed welfare benefits to ultra religious u and exclusion fr

the latest now with mike hanna in jerusalem. what's happened here, mike, why has this turn of events come about, do you think? >> significant developments, in deed. i understand from sources president at the coalition talks between lieberman and benjamin netanyahu said lieberman insisted not only on retaining his portfolio of foreign minister but being responsible for relations with the united states something that had been carried out by the former justice minister. the significance of this is that netanyahu had been relying very strongly on lieberman's participation and the success in election to get a strong majority within that government that he's attempting to form. as it stands at present with the absence and his party's absence, netanyahu's going to struggle to get the 61 seats he needs for a clear majority within parliament, and even that is a very narrow majority, indeed. speculation that netanyahu may not meet the deadline for forming the new government, which is wednesday. >> ok, so that's the government side of thing

. >> mike hanna in israel. >>> and still in israel riot police have fought with black israelis with those who fight against racism. a photo of jewish soldier being beaten last week. they said that the country must respond to their grievances. the deputy mayor of tel aviv is a blackpool israeli herself and she said that until something is done more protests will continue. everyone here can tell you that at one time at another. it has happened to her. >> an ethiopian soldier was attacked by police and yet netanyahu said that this cannot continue. and that the police officer in question has been dismissed. >> we have to understand that that was a point pointed incident. the israeli police and 29,000 police officers have day-to-day meetings questions and incidents that take place on the streets on all levels of criminals and terrorism. those actions can get out of hand. but that's something that can be examined. in terms of the police perspective i can confirm and tell that you there are many ethiopians who serve in the community and serve as part of the community. in terms of the police pers

mike hanna is live in west jerusalem. what is the reaction been there so far, mike? >> well from the israeli opposition there has been condemnation from the government. the leader described this as an exceedingly narrow government and describes the coalition process as one of extortion. the other opposition leaders, we heard criticism from the palestinian side a resection of the go. and it was described as another right-wing government. in which the building of settlements is going to intensify, and looking at the fact that a major party is jewish home which is a settler based movement. that is a prediction that may come true. >> with a slim majority how hard will it be for him to operate? >> it will be virtually impossible according to operators. to understand one seat in 120 seat parliament and it requires one member of parliament from coalition parties to lead the coalition. the government faces disill use once again. certainly it is an unworkable coalition that binyamin netanyahu manages to get together. one must remember that an important member of his coalition
