younger people in this country, their whole experience of this netanyahu.mp and how do you point it to something more hopeful, optimistic, in a situation that can seem very futile at certain points? >> so my hope comes very much the capacity of young people to change categories and change rules. i'm thinking about how, for example, a new bipartisan push has emerged around the subject criminal justice reform, just to take one example of how a new across its political spectrum sees different besibilities of what used to in certain party silos. i think about this here, because real ande very disturbing risk of the relationship with israel becoming a partisan issue. that is bad news for everybody. we cannot allow this to be a partisan issue. an young people have exquisite relationship with truth. a way of detecting all of that layers of nonsense have been piled on by the current president, and in this context. and can cut through to see the humanity that is at stake here defy anyone telling them have to adopt this political view according to your identity. and

but the problem in the way is the same problem that was reflected in a mirror image where netanyahu is trying to make that government netanyahu does not want to step aside from the leadership of the could blue and white says he needs to do so because they won't sit in a government led by someone who as netanyahu is is facing 3 separate corruption charges netanyahu shows no sign of one who goes 2nd in a possible prime ministerial rotational deal because if he did so he'd be in a weakened position to try to fight off those charges if and when they come in the next few weeks so re it really we're in a very similar situation we just have someone else holding the ball and seeing if they can make a play with it and harry were sure outlining there or roads may lead to a 3rd election and historic event given there's been 2 that have been inconclusive thus far. that's right and the president riven rivlin set out a pretty admonishing tone in his remarks introducing benny gantz saying that while he was giving the mandate to gantz it was the responsibility of all of the politicians in the kness

we've seen settlement construction in real years, netanyahu is unabashedly pro-settlement. there's some who i think rightly fear that at a certain level of settlement construction you could no longer have a continuous palestinian state. we also consider conditioning us aid to israel as leverage to stop or slow future settlement production? >> the us law framework for security cooperation and aid to any country has very specific excitations about how thatwill be used . both to the arms export control act, the lady law and we need to make sure that any such cooperation in funding is going to things that are compatible us objectives and us law and if we continue to see steps that are potentially destructive, i think it is a reminder that we need to have the visibility to know whether us funds are being used in a way that's not compatible with us policy and us policy should not be promoting this kind of settlement construction precisely because it is incompatible at best to what we want to see happen. the bigger picture is about what this relationshipmeans, what this friendship

this is a major blow to benjamin netanyahu. for the second time in a year, netanyahu failed to form a government. and now, for the first time, it will be somebody else that has a chance to form a government. there's indictments looming over the prime minister in ongoing corruption probes where he has proclaimed innocence. all that means that netanyahu's political and personal future may be shaky right now. who will be trying to form a government? his rival, bennie gans and the head of the blue and white party. he will have 28 days to try and see what room he has politically to pull in the seven seats he needs to form a ruling coalition. it's not clear that he has a clear path to the coalition. meaning, if he fails in 28 days, there will be three more weeks to find somebody else. and they're automatically triggered. >>> oren leibermann live for us. >>> facebook says it has removed russian-backed fake accounts that praised president trump and criticized joe biden. this is the same kremlin-backed group that interviewed in the 2016

(applause) ben raises a very important issue. i'm not into conspiracy theories. i'm really not. but if anybody thinks that there is not a coordinated effort among incredibly wealthy and powerful authoritarian leaders around the world, then you don't know what is going on. you've got putin who is trying to destabilize american democracy and european democracy. you've got mbs in saudi arabia sitting on god knows how much money. by the way, oil has a lot to do with access as well. and you've got trump here. i think when de

meanwhile, benjamin netanyahu is still struggling to hold onto power.wake of a very close election, he opened the door to his political rival to lead the country. could italy have its first new prime minister in more than a decade, or could the country be headed for yet another round of elections there? we take a look at the thfris wa birthday celebration benjamin netanyahu had hoped for. he is on the quest for trying to secure the israeli government. he lost his grip on israeli politics. now for the first time in a decade, someone else will have a chance to form a government and lead the country. this as potential indictments in ongoing corruption cases loom over the longest serving leader in israel's history as he proclaims his innocence. netanyahu blamed his rival, ben benny gantz for for his failure to make a government. >> translator: i brought benny gantz in with every effort to form additional elections, and time after time, he simply refused. >> reporter: gantz, former chief of staff, will now try to form a coalition. the time to spin is over an

he might just have to deal with the fact he's not netanyahu.anyahu's been running the drocountry for a long, long tim now and has managed to antagonize a lot of not just the democrats in the united states, but quite a neighborhood. so benny, fresh face, former military man, lot of credibility, might be, might get the benefit of the doubt if he can put together a coalition that's not at all certain. it's entirely possible that he's going to go back president, say no i can't do it. >> that means election number three. >> kind of amazing when other country's stuff can make the country look functional. a columnist with bloomberg. up next, history lesson for president trump. you're going to be watching velshi and riuhle when we come back. riuhle when we come back and depression relieving company. from the day you're born we never stop taking care of you. with medicare advantage plans that offer health coaching and fitness memberships. plus hospital, medical and prescription drug coverage in one simple plan. with monthly plan premiums starting at $0.

benjamin netanyahu, israeli's prime minister for the past decade, has said he is giving up efforts toions have been inconclusive, and the way is now clear for mr netanyahu's more centrist rival, benny gantz, to try to form a government. gareth barlow has the details. israelis have gone to the polls twice in 2019, and on both occasions, there's been no clear winner. after april's election, benjamin neta nyahu struggled to form a coalition. so another vote was held in september. but once again, he's failed to find unity. translation: good evening, citizens of israel. a short while ago i informed the president that i am returning him the mandate to form a government. since the receiving the mandate, i worked unceasingly, both openly and secretly to form a broad, national unity government. it means the man seen here on the left, benny gantz, who served as head of the military under benjamin netanyahu, will try to form his own coalition. his blue and white party has already been backed by israeli—arab politicians, but it will need more support. benjamin gantz. he's ruled out working with t

well as you say it means that benjamin netanyahu on at the end of the last of a run of jewish holy days this month and on his 70th birthday has admitted defeat in is attempts to try to form a majority coalition government now has laid the blame for that squarely at the feet of benny gantz the leader of the blue and white opposition the main party after september 17th election in the israeli parliament the knesset saying that he rejected all of netanyahu as efforts to form a unity government i mean there is no argument with that he did reject those efforts his party did as well but that was because they say that they are not willing to sit in government with someone who as netanyahu is is on the prospect of indictment on 3 separate corruption charges they say that they would says in unity government with that new who's likud party if it had a different leader now the president riven rivlin it is now his that his opportunity to try to steer this by giving it to benny gantz the mandate to try to form a coalition government he said he's indicated that he does intend to do that potentially a

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 the could without letting yahoo at its head they say they won't sit in the government led by someone

unity government led by a man and you know he's facing indictment in 3 separate corruption cases netanyahu is refusing to step down or to go 2nd in a potential rotational prime minister deal he's seen as having a better chance of fighting off those charges from the prime minister's office and there's no reason yet for the stalemate to break. another option for gantz a minority government with external support from members of the mainly palestinian israeli joint list that would be fraught with political risk even if there was the will to give it a try so far gantz isn't willing to do so. benny gantz has another path failure and the upside down of israeli politics it could just lead to success the longer he spends not forming a government the closer netanyahu gets to a possible triple corruption indictment testing the loyalty of his party. to the afghans his mandate expires a final $21.00 day scramble would ensue all kinds of deals could then be on the table if no deal gets done that it would be election number 3 early next year ari force it out west jerusalem. saudi arabia's foreign ministe

tell us more. >> this is a major blow to netanyahu but certainly not the end of netanyahu. longest serving leader in israel's history. at least not yet. but it is unprecedented. a second straight failure in an attempt to form a government. and for the first time in a decade, someone else will have a chance to form a government. someone else if successful will have a chance to lead israel and call them the country's prime minister and for the first time since 2009, netanyahu does -- have a firm grip of control on israeli politicals and there are ongoing corruption investigations against netanyahu which indictments could come down in the next few weeks as netanyahu proclaims innocence in all of those investigations. so his political and personal future remain uncertain. who will it be next? his rival in two straight elections, former ibf blue and white community, gantz, his path to the premiership is no more clear than netanyahu which means that israel may well be on a path to a third straight election in 12 months and this was already unprecedented at the second election. is

netanyahu is willing to concede it's all but over.oes this mean israelis face another round of elections. >> reporter: that's certainly possibly especially from the viewpoint because netanyahu's legal problems have very much collided. his high-powered legal team is trying to convince the attorney general in preliminary hearings to drop all or some of the charges against him. it started hours ago and is expected to continue not only for hours but days, perhaps into next week and beyond. today the focus is on what's known as case 4,000, one of the worst cases against the prime minister in which he received breaks in favor of more credible news coverage for a friend of his. this is where he faces potential charges of bribery and breach of trust. he outwardly displayed confidence, but it's not expected that all of the charges netanyahu faces will be dropped. meanwhile his last-ditch attempt to form a unity of government has dropped. that now leaves netanyahu few options to form a unity option or any government for that matter. he met with
