mr. benjamin netanyahu, will soon be forced to choose from and agree to the cease-fire deal with hamas backite house, or keep his government in power. the deal which president biden outlined on friday 30 leads to a permanent, skits may be prepared to accept. but his coalition includes the thyroid defense minister who today that the far-right minister who today said he would quit the coalition if this is fair do is agree to 8news poll suggests 40% of the province of the deal, 37% are opposed, 40% believe that you would put a final end to the war in the gaza strip whereas 34 percent believe is vote for one day return to fighting even if an agreement is signed. generally from tel aviv tonight is the political analyst from israel, in washington, a former u.s. deputy assistant secretary of state. in london, the director of forward thinking, who helped bring the two sides together in 2011 to win the release of an israeli soldier. welcome to you all. let me start with you. perhaps you could tell us what has happened in israel today and the murmurings we are starting to get on the hard right of ben

came to one very specific thing about us saying that they wanted an end to the will prime, mr. benjamin netanyahu saying that his goal was to destroy how about politically and militarily. and it's probably the reason the problem present. joe biden has made this is so public, he wants that to be no misunderstanding. ready he doesn't want any kind of lakes, he wants to put it out that so everybody understands that this is a deal that he is pushing for. and the framing of this deal is actually quite interesting because he keeps saying that this is, these really proposal, the appraisal coming from him button is really proposal the mass need to agree to the language is using is that this is about this opportunity. so go forward. for this, but there are also other political concerns as well. the americans are very keen for is role in saudi arabia to sign a deal, a diplomatic notarize ation deal. this how it has been very clear that they are willing to talk about that. as long as that is a roadmap to a palestinian state based proposal doesn't quite go that far. but what it does do is give the internatio

well, it probably mr. benjamin netanyahu gave me this interview. i have to say red interior to a local uh, tv channel. uh, writing a channel as it is known here. where he was saying, uh basically that the intense pays of divorce is winding down. and he also indicated that the army is close to completing its offensive in the off of the southern city in a 1000 a garza but without giving a time that i know without giving it more details. but he also said the war is actually not over. this would mean he said that fewer troops would be needed in gauze, and they would be re deployed to northern israel. he also said in that interview that he was prepared only for a partial deal, an agreement that would see a ceasefire, oppose and fighting, including then also the release of some of the hostages, as he said, but that the war will not be ending until her mouth is removed from power and of these comments he made were very just hoping to criticize the, especially by a groups that are representing the hostage of families of saying that you would that's a band

blinken said he affirmed benjamin netanyahu israel's benjamin neta nyahu israel's commitment benjamin netanyahu israel's commitment to the plan after mranyahu. at the same time he said repeatedly that before eliminating hamas, any talk of a ceasefire would be a nonstarter, so there is, especially with the pressure of the firelight. —— far right. the two members of the cabinets are against a deal with hamas because it would allow hamas to rebuild its forces and control gaza again. rebuild its forces and control gaza again-— rebuild its forces and control gaza aaain. , ., i. ., gaza again. given what you have 'ust said gaza again. given what you have just said and _ gaza again. given what you have just said and we _ gaza again. given what you have just said and we must _ gaza again. given what you have just said and we must bear - gaza again. given what you have just said and we must bear in . just said and we must bear in mind that benny gantz has resigned from the israeli war cabinet as well and that has changed the make up within benjamin netanyahu's government, what may happen. we have antony blinken, the us secretary of state, push

mr blinken met with egyptian president abdel fattah al—sisi, before heading tojerusalem for talks with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahudepartment spokesman said secretary blinken assured mr netanyahu that the proposal would "unlock the possibility" of calm along israel's northern border. our state department correspondent tom bateman is travelling with the secretary, and has more from jerusalem. publicly, we're seeing the americans come here and try to press arab leaders to put pressure on hamas to accept this. but hamas is going to want, and basically wants, you know, a far clearer guarantee that this would mean the end of the war and a full israeli withdrawal from gaza. clearly, they don't feel like they've got that yet, because we're not seeing a formal response from them, or the resumption of these indirect negotiations. but there is something else going on beneath the surface and this isn't part of the public presentation, but what mr blinken is trying to do is bind the israelis into this and the israeli leadership, because although mr netanyahu has said that his war cabinet has authorised the deal, we haven't he

mr. sadeghi , dear viewers, hello, good time. it was this morning that benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of the zionist regime's war cabinet , was announced by the media of this regime to have come to the northern region of the occupied territories. it is located up to 15 kilometers from the border between lebanon and occupied palestine . this confession of idiot aharonot newspaper that hizbullah has been fighting for 8 months in the northern front of the occupied territories and has shown 5% of its weapons and military power goes back to the day before yesterday, hezbollah released a picture that was very meaningful, the zionist military that is currently

mr. sadeghi, dear viewers, hello, good time. it was this morning that benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of the zionist regime's war cabinet , was announced by the media of this regime to have come to the northern region of the occupied territories. now, the area where netanyahu came to is located at a distance of about 10 to 15 kilometers from the border of lebanon with occupied palestine. this is the confession of yediot aharonot newspaper that hizbullah has been fighting for 8 months in the northern front of the occupied territories. 5% of its weapons and military strength will be shown and returned to where the party is yesterday, allah published a picture that was very meaningful and a zionist soldier who was fleeing was targeted by a guided missile specially for the zionists. this is a picture that the zionist media and the zionist army did their best for the settlers inside the land. the fact that hezbollah is not able to target them, and this image can be said to have completely destroyed their hideous awe , the zionist tv channel 12 showed these images almost

that is at odds with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and there has been some tension with him and mrt, tension with mr. netanyahu and the u.s. administration,, in terms of lebanon, as i mentioned, the escalating tensi there is a huge concern not just to the israelis, but to the americans. he could end up a nightmare scenario. whilst the u.s. will always stand with israel, we know biden is committed to israel, they do consider hezbollah very different to hamas. they consider them more strong and organized. if things escalate, whilst the americans would stand shoulder to shoulder with israel, to quote mr. biden, they would not commit to on the ground, for example. all of that will be discussed by mr. gallant and his counterparts in d.c. rajini: nomia, there has been a bit of a back-and-forth, hasn't there, about this so-called freezing or unfreezing of shipments of bombs between israel and the u.s. there has been a lack of clarity on who is saying what. nomia: you're right, huge lack of clarity on it. mr. netanyahu gave a long interview to israeli tv in which he doubled down on accusat

mr. dr. please let me go back to the point and issue you mentioned, that is, benjamin netanyahu's insistence on continuing the war in palestine and gaza . let me go back to the point that dr. salemi made. pointing out the internal tensions of the zionist regime the continuation of the resignation of the officials and the cabinet of the zionist regime on saturdays and the points that are raised in between , even the comments of the zionist regime officials who point out that if this war continues , it will be attrition and the regime and the end of the zionist regime is approaching. to answer your question, i want to remember two sentences. let me tell you, first, in relation to this discussion, we must remove this from our imagination that america should stop its arms aid from the regime, this should not be thought about at all. the second point of the discussion is actually the role of media in the storm, especially for the first time we see this discourse on the floor of the streets in american universities in universities around the world. or where did it come from? why does the united st

it's not going to bring down the government of benjamin netanyahu, who still maintains his majority in the knesset. but what it does do is i guess it isolates mrit removes a voice of experience and a more centrist voice from that war cabinet. you have to remember that the coalition cabinet is made up of, really, people with very little experience. that cannot be said of benny gantz, who is a former army chief of staff, a former defence minister, and someone with a long history in the military at a time when israel is now at war. and what it means, i think, is that those further to the right, the likes of itamar ben—gvir, who is from the far right of israeli politics, are going to have more influence. and i'm just seeing that mr ben—gvir has requested himself that he now should be allowed to join the war cabinet. yes, there was a lot of build—up, wasn't there, in terms of ben—gvir�*s response to this, in local press describing it as very happy, that if he were to resign he would be very happy indeed. we now know that benny gantz has done that. there were two other names that were mentioned in that press conference, jon. one of those was the def
