i would seriously school netanyahu needs to remember israel still has a democracy even if it doesn't appeal to him he should have come to terms with the fact that the outcome of the elections requires him to negotiate directly with no blocks or barriers these are a blunt and violent attempt to deprive the voters from their democratic choice most of the people choose a liberal unity government headed by blue and white most of the people voted to weaken the power of extremists and most of the people voted to go on a different path from that of netanyahu in recent years. well netanyahu insists he wants a coalition but not at the expense of israel security he accuses gantz of being willing to form a minority governments with terror supporters who receive instructions from israel's enemies this is a reference to israeli arab politicians who the prime minister claims are trying to destroy israel will bring in our guests in just a moment but 1st a false it sounds the latest from west jerusalem. well the one years paper referred to what's about to start as injury time in this entire process

technically, mr netanyahu can remain in office.ther he will have the political support, remains to be seen. on the streets, protesters in support of and against the prime minister made their views known. it is unthinkable that the prime minister can continue in office while being indicted for such grave breaches of law. i think it is a shame. i think that netanyahu was the strongest figure that israel has ever had on the world stage. i think that this was politically motivated and it is a sad day for the country. israel is in uncertain waters. after two general elections this year, politicians have failed to form a government. and now, for the first time, a sitting prime ministerfaces criminal charges and questions whether he will and can remain in office. natan sachs is the director of the centre for middle east policy at brookings institution. he says this is crucial moment in the country's history. it's a momentous time. netanyahu is the longest serving per minister in israel's history, and this mark is not quite the end, but ce
