israel's outgoing government, since the collapse will not mean a return to benjamin netanyahu. the most serious flooding in years is about to get worse. state election officials tell u.s. congress that they were personally pressured by u.s. congress to overturn the result of the 2020 election. two swing states are georgia and arizona. the committee has heard testimony from georgia's secretary of state as well as arizona prostate leadership. arizona's house speaker has spoken about a phone call with president trump election. he says trump pushed for his team to be allowed into the state capitol to present what they called evidence of voter fraud but he refused. >> i called this the circus. it had been brewing with lots of demonstrations at the capitol and other places. i did not want to have that in the house. >> castro has more from capitol hill. >> this is the lopsided balance of power here. you have the president of the united states personally calling these election officials who are republican in the swing states who have gone to joe biden. we heard from that top election o

i'm getting navigate them, keeping benjamin netanyahu out. that's what the 8 parties making up the is really government had in common. but it hasn't been enough to keep a government divided on nearly everything from collapsing, defections and inability to pass legislation and disagreements with eric is really coalition allies over is really a talk from the occupied the ox moss compound. all leading to a dissolution of parliament after only a year in office. so they didn't october has been put forward to hold a general election. the 5th and 3 and a half years. according to nathan, yahoo, the winds have changed, and his hard line, the crude party has already begun courting members of the connect set for his possible return. bernard smith has this reports. for a year, benjamin netanyahu has been working to bring down the coalition that ousted him from power. and he's managed it by blocking the normally automatic renewal of a bill that extends israeli law into the settlements. now netanyahu sees a pop back to the prime minister's office. luca bee

i like this whole suggest benjamin netanyahu. quote, when 60 of the $120.00 seats up for grabs in the classes the election won't be held until towards the end of october until then. yeah, la p. israel's entering private israel. i was conducting military drills in massa fietta in the occupied west bank is the 1st ex size in the area since these ready supreme court rejected a passed in an appeal against firing zone that the court decision means that palestinians could be forcibly evicted. you'd abraham reports from my suffer yet southeast of hebron in new york. you fight west bank. these really army has put up these targets here in miss after in preparations for military exercises that are expected to last for one month. this area is called mass asset office and people, i've recently lost an appeal at the israeli supreme court to stay on their lads. these really supreme court effectively gave these really the green light to evict palestinians as these really army declared. the area of firing zone is we can go, this is fine and you

for netanyahu, it was a disaster, strengthened and legitimized. the islamic republic was now inescapable in the middle east. israel was more isolated than ever but this new dynamic between iran in the united states would prove to be short lived. if we do nothing, we know exactly what will happen in just a short period of time. the world's leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cost of acquiring the world's most dangerous weapons. therefore, i am announcing to day that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. this decision by president trump marked the beginning of a new phase in the long history of relations between iran and the one side and the united states and israel on the other. since the founding of the islamic republic in 1979 war has never broken out between washington and terran. but nor has there been any real dialogue. the 2 enemies have repeatedly failed to reconcile their longstanding differences and consider each other as valid counterparts. for its part, israel perceives iran as an increasingly radical and

the main cause was to get rid of netanyahu, anything but bibi, and the other was to get some type ofent, the budget. israel was operating without a budget for two years, the government succeeded in doing that but eventually, the fractions on the far right and the far left in one coalition proved to be too difficult, the differences were to go —— great, especially when it came to regarding the west bank and now we're seeing the end this coalition. it is a fascinating moment with yair lapid reaching prime ministership, caretaker prime minister. we have seen inconclusive elections in the past and so yair lapid may be a caretaker prime minister but he can be a caretaker prime ministerfor can be a caretaker prime minister for quite awhile, as we've seen in the past. i suppose this is his opportunity to stamp his authority on israeli politics. he will get a chance also to host i think president biden. how much of an opening is this for him? it’s president biden. how much of an opening is this for him?— opening is this for him? it's a ma'or opening is this for him? it's a major one- — openi

but his benjamin netanyahu was engineered the downfall. busy of this coalition government, he has been israelis prime and israel prime minister for a total of 15 years previously, and he wants the job back. and what netanyahu did was with his coalition opposition partners, he voted down the renewal, the normal standard, automatic annual renewal of a secular bill that extends israeli law into the settlements. this expires at the end of this month without his renewal, that sort of legal chaos. in the settlement, so the coalition governing coalition realize that he's not gonna be able to get this bill passed. so they've accepted that they're going to dissolve parliament and go to new elections. netanyahu gets what he wants new elections and maybe the chance to come back as prime minister on the settler bill, because the connected is being dissolved, will be automatically extended now for 6 months until a new government can vote on it. they'll be elections now. probably not before. sometime in october, i paid, he will take over entering prime

but benjamin netanyahu was skeptical about obama's military option in the event of failed negotiations in his eyes, the american president knew nothing about the middle east, while he, himself was an experienced leader coming from a very conservative zionist background. and the former head of an elite commando unit, he had already led the country 10 years earlier, netanyahu had never wavered in his refusal to compromise on israel's security. he declared himself ready to destroy iran's uranium enrichment facilities without washington's consent. did he not sleep, e, holy ford, gum cru. israel was prepared to act without american backing. dimly, they have never concealed their opposition to an operation like this quarter. they regarded it as damaging her claim, obama. but i remember discussions with bush and then obama, one to one, and also sometimes with a security advisors who i clearly told them that when we reached a critical stage in terms of the security and future of the state of israel and the jewish people. and that we would not delegate responsibility to any one else, although n

i just whole suggest benjamin netanyahu. quote, when 60 of the $120.00 seats up for grabs in the classes, the election won't be held until towards the end of october. until then. yeah, la p. israel's intern products. the palestinian health ministry says a palestinian man was killed when he was stabbed in the heart. find his really saddler in the occupied west bank. witnesses say ali hob who was working on his land when a group of settlers attacked him. international charity group ox fans holding an exhibition in garza patrolling the impact of 15 years of israel's blockade of the strip. 15 artists born and raised in garza among those taking part una, i'll try it as they're sent this report. 15 china garza under the hash tag, open up golf 15, a campaign that was relieved by then international team days on social media platforms to highlight the impacts of a 15 years. he's really located on every sector life because it's a trip situation for garza, after 15 years, a blockade is wrapped up in numbers. numbers in terms of an empl

i had been. netanyahu is currently on trial for corruption. with the far right and ultra orthodox allies, he engineered the failure to renew a measure that allows jewish settlers in the occupied westbank to live under israeli law. now netanyahu has promised to win a 6 term in office to be or not to be. that has been the only question for, for elections. that will be the only issue for a 5th. i'm sorry if it makes it really is look shallow that they don't deal with a piece process security, iran matters or religion that none of those issues came up in the 1st 4 elections. so i don't expect the 5th to be any different. the new caretaker prime minister is a centrist yala, p. this form a television celebrity replaces naphtali bennett le pete has cast netanyahu's potential return to office as a national threat is he's been running a very good campaign for less, you know, 8 or 10 years, which is, he's not going to go with it. and you know, he's a replacement with nathan. yeah, he didn't fall into that trap. and now all the time is running the negati

they didn't agree on anything except they wanted to keep netanyahu out.lling elections to break the deadlock. >> i know you said if the elections were held today, benjamin netanyahu and his party would win. but they're not being held today. and in the past few elections, we have seen that no one has gotten a majority ruling. these elections are extremely costly and weigh on the patience of the israeli people. somewhat happens if they hold another election or when they hold another election and say there isn't a majority, an easy majority? >> reporter: that's the extraordinary thing. there is actually a big right-wing majority in this country. right-wing candidates win over and over again. but some of those right-wing parties agree with benjamin netanyahu ideal logically, refuse to go into government with him because of these corruption allegations. so as long as benjamin netanyahu remains at the head of likud, this could keep going and going. you could have indecisive election after another. they thought they had found the ma'amic formula by forming this

he's talking about former prime minister benjamin netanyahu potential coalition partners. netanyahu has been prime minister previously for a total of 15 years. he wants the job back and he sees this election as a way forward for him to do that. but parties again from the right, the left and the moderates. they all say they'll do everything they can to try and keep netanyahu out of town. or mission is to make sure these people don't take power and not to let him cross israel democracy early. now let his polls suggest that netanyahu coalition could win 59 of the 120 seats up for grabs in the connected doesn't give them quite an overall majority, but a greater share of the seats than the outgoing coalition. a funeral spent a held for a palestinian man who was stamped to death by his ready settler and the occupied westbank. witnesses say that ali hobbs was attacked, working on his own land on tuesday, is really police both and an investigation that palestinians are skeptical that those responsible will be held to account. i'll just hear abraham, that's more from the town of celsius. the bod

the netanyahu netanyahu's la coud party just had an edge in the polls about 46. they might win the most of the seats, but not quite enough seats to command an overall majority. so you could yet have another election after want to november. israel could go through more instability as they try and find a stable governing coalition. okay, thank you for that. bennett smith for us in west jerusalem was, goes in spanish capital madrid now, where leaders happen arriving to the final day of the nato summit. i said to hold further, high level talks off to proving a new shot sheet in the face of the war and ukraine. they promise unwavering support for the country designated russia. the most significant and direct threat president joe biden has announced a permanent army base in poland. the fuss, full time, us deployment as nato's east and fringes, the us will also send 2 additional squadrons of f. 35 jets to the united kingdom, sweden and finland. busy were formally invited to become members marking the alliances, most significant expansion in decades and ukrainian preside

a netanyahu linked extremists is talking about foreign promise to benjamin netanyahu. currently on trial for corruption, he wanted his job back and it's him and lockheed will be in the running in the next election. and how, but the people, it israel feel about the prospect of get another election. you would imagine there is fatigue. israelis facing another election, but the man who's really responsible for all of these elections. benjamin netanyahu still remains quite popular here. 46 percent of israelis think he would be a good prime minister jala pete is the nearest one. behind him. he's only got 15 percent of similar view. the people have of in netanyahu coalition it's likely to win according to the latest poles. perhaps 59 of the 120 seats up for grabs. yes. not quite enough to give them control of the connected, but still more seats than polls suggest the outgoing coalition would when the netanyahu has a good chance of coming back. although again, the policies at the right the left, the middle, the liberals, they suggest that they will do all they can to stop neta

but its sole purpose really was to get rid of benjamin netanyahu as prime minister. he's been israel prime minister previously for total of 15 years and netanyahu once the job back and he was he who engineered the collapse of his government with his opposition partners. he voted against the extension of a settler bill every 5 years. this comes up in israel's parliament and it normally passed automatically extend it. it allows the extension of. busy israeli law into the settlements by failing to extend this law. netanyahu's coalition has precipitated the collapse of the government, the war expires at the end of this month. but because there's going to be new elections, it will be automatically extended for another 6 months. those new elections will be held probably before some time in mid october. and until len lockheed will stand in inter and prime minister daniel leave is the president of the u. s. middle east project. he says, the collapse of this parliament is not a surprise. and it's an opportunity for former prime minister benjamin netanyahu to make a return to

now, netanyahu has promised to win a 6 term in office to be or not to be. that has been the only question for for elections that will be the only issue for a 5th. i'm sorry if it makes us railey look shallow, that they don't deal with a piece. process security, iran matters and religion that none of those issues came up in the 1st 4 elections . so i don't expect the 5th to be any different. the new caretaker prime minister is a centrist yala p. this form a television celebrity replaces naphtali bennett le pete has cast netanyahu's potential return to office as a national threat was, he's been running a very good campaign for less, you know, 8 or 10 years, which is, he's not going to go with it. and you know, he's a replacement with nathan. yeah, he didn't fall into that trap. and now all the time is running the negative campaign of we're going to have a disaster if you're let peters prime minister while surprise. he's the prime minister. he will be the prime minister in a few days, and therefore as long as the sky doesn't fall in those 4 months, then people

now netanyahu sees a pop back to the prime minister's office. we've been lucky, i intend to form a strong national steady government. i think the atmosphere change show i can feel it. i mean, i hear from the people that we now want to will change. we want to return the state of israel to the place into service and i intend to do it together with my friends . the outgoing 8 party coalition was the most unusual israeli history made up of the hard, right liberals on palestinian israelis from the arab list. they came together to get rid of netanyahu, but they claim other achieve. i must say that themselves because the government was a pretty good government. was corp between ubs and jewish. it was in the 15, the committee was a very good minister, especially in man 10 in national corporation. and when i think that this government to was very good for the citizens like this whole suggest benjamin netanyahu. quote, when 60 of the $120.00 seats up for grabs in the classes the election won't be held until towards the end of october. until then. yeah, le

but the election has come about because of benjamin netanyahu. he was the prime minister for 12 years before he was ousted by this coalition, led by bennett and lockheed just over a year ago. since then, netanyahu has been working to try and bring down this very fragile coalition of a very unusual coalition. and israel made up of liberals the hard right, the center. and for the 1st time, palestinian israeli law makers sharing power. netanyahu succeeded in bringing down, bringing the collapse of the coalition, essentially over the vote. normally routine vote to renew a law that allows israeli law to be imposed on settlers in the occupied west bank that's not been renewed that lead the fall of the government. and that is why we all where we off today funded, how much support is from the public for this? because this will now be the countries 5th election in less than 4 years on the might be more elections after this. there's no certainty netanyahu wants his job back, which is why we are here. and while his party li could leads the poles, it doesn't

he's been in israel prime minister previously for a total of 15 years, and netanyahu wants the job back. and he was he who engineered the collapse of his government with his position partners. he's voted against the extension of a settler bill every 5 years. this comes up in israel's parliament and it's normally past automatically extended. it allows the extension of. busy israeli law into the settlements by failing to extend this law. netanyahu's coalition has precipitated the collapse of the government, the war expires at the end of this month because there's going to be new elections . it will be automatically extended for another 6 months. those new elections will be held probably before some time in mid october. and until then. yeah, i like people stand in inter and prime minister and you levy is president of the u . s. middle east project. and a former israeli negotiator. he says it was always going to be a challenge for the 8 party coronation to stay together. it held together for a year. and what you saw was members from the right peeling off, just one or 2. it was a government

he's talking about former prime minister benjamin netanyahu potential coalition partners. netanyahu has been prime minister previously for a total of 15 years. he wants the job back and he sees this election as a way forward for him to do that. but parties again from the right, the left and the moderates. they all say they'll do everything they can to try and keep netanyahu out of town. or mission is to make sure these people don't take power and not to let him cross israel democracy early. now the latest polls suggest that netanyahu coalition could, when 59 of the 120 seats up for grabs in the connected doesn't give them quite an overall majority, but a greater share of the seats than the outgoing coalition. tv is a palestinian is where the member of the can. i said he joins us now live from western east. i'm good to have with us. so the is really electric. now it's 50 election in 3 and a half years to what do you attribute the failure of this now dissolved israeli coalition. we are talking about very big job and can cause the a faction doing their job stick with out of them when you j

the other thing is we give this government which is completely -- if netanyahu was prime minister, theli left and international community would be all over him. since we are so happy we have him as foreign minister, because what we hear when the israeli public is intimidated from hamas who is warning to shoot rockets on israel and intimidated by netanyahu who is provoking this government by inciting the people against this government. on the other hand, i see the weakness of the palestinian authority, because they are detractors of this government, i interviewed a professor a few years ago he said iis time to run for mayor, and he says he is considering. what we see in israel is the palestinians are about 40% of the residents of jerusalem and could form a coalition and build mosques wherever they want and stop building settlements in east jerusalem. but, they don't do this. anchor: i want to pausing. >> [indiscernible] naftali bennett was a leader of settlers, he was the director of the regional counselor of settlements, he is an extreme right winger. the same applies to the palestinia

what does that mean for the country, the region, and for bb netanyahu? finally, a seismic shift in french politics. president macron's centrist party loses its parliamentary majority but the far right and left make electoral gains. why is this happening? just who are these voters embracing the extremes? first, here is my take. american democracy has been under stress for sometime now. trust in its institutions is near the lowest on record. when we say this we usually mean congress and the presidency. the supreme court's decision on roe v. wade has brought the public's confidence in the court to an all time low and puts it in the same category as the others defined bipartisanship and polarization. the court's decisions this week are not conservative. they are radical. one of the time honored conservative doctrines has been a respect for precedent. and yet in two days the court swept aside a right that for half a century american jurisprudence held was a constitutional right. it also uprooted a new york law regulating guns that was 111 years old and had ne

a netanyahu linked extremists, he's talking about former prime minister benjamin netanyahu potential coalition partners. netanyahu has been prime minister previously for a total of 15 years. he wants the job back and he sees this election as a way forward for him to do that. but parties again from the right, the left and the moderates, they all say they'll do everything they can to try and keep netanyahu out of town. or mission is to make sure these people don't take power and not to let him cross israel democracy. now the latest poll suggests that netanyahu coalition could, when 59 of the 120 seats up for grabs in the connected, doesn't give them quite an overall majority. but a greater share of the seats than the outgoing coalition. bulgaria could be facing his 4th election in just over a year after the government lost the confidence vote. all than half of m. p 's and the 240 feet chamber voted against the governing coalition, accusing it of failing to implement economic policies. apartment is carol, pet calls took charge in december, promising to en bulgaria is endemic corruption.

he's been in israel prime minister previously for total of 15 years, and netanyahu once the job back and he was he who engineered the collapse of his government with his position partners. he's voted against the extension of a settler bill every 5 years. this comes up in israel's parliament and it's normally past automatically extended. it allows the extension of. busy israeli law into the settlements by failing to extend this law. netanyahu's coalition has precipitated the collapse of the government, the lore expires at the end of this month. but because there's going to be new elections, it will be automatically extended for another 6 months. those new elections will be held probably before some time in mid october. and until then. yeah, i like pete will stand in entering prime minister. marley's military rulers have declared 3 days of national morning fighters have targeted several villages killing a 132 people. witnesses say it was a revenge attack about over boards, marley and television, shared soldiers and a regional governor as they reassured villagers. the government as blam

we'll see a, a come back by benjamin netanyahu. well, nothing is for certain right now. i mean, if you look at the pulse, neither blocker, the right thing, nationalist, a religious block that is lead by the former prime minister benjamin netanyahu has the majority. he fitted also the previous elections to form a coalition government. but if you look at the polls also, it shows that the liquid, his party has gained some strength. but i think it's still too early to tell what we will see in elections that might take place in october. tanya kramer in jerusalem, thank you so much for that breaking news update. and let's take a quick look at some other stories making headlines at this hour french president ammonia macklin has lost his absolute majority and sundays parliamentary elections . my course lock still emerged with a biggest number of seats in the new national assembly, but left us and far right party serge. my call may now have trouble in acting his reform agenda. former gorilla fighter, the several petro has won columbia's presidential election in landmark victory.

you think at this next election, will netanyahu be returned to power? i suppose very much it, it depends upon turn out whether actually people can be bothered to, to vote in the selection. yeah. and being most specific, so actually our faith is in the hands of the 20 percent minority of the israeli arabs who gave up actually on the system. they gave out hope that you just asked of the. busy to change, they didn't see a real change then change and we see actually, jews on the left side of the center is that we are able to work together. arrows and juice are able to form a government and even, you know, it's not just arrows. islam is barbee, this was the miracle. and i believe that if the arrows will turn out in a bigger numbers than now, it shows the polls are showing that only 4 out of 10 are going to vote. if it will go up to, let's say, 6070 percent, and a summary 40 can course the threshold and repeat this miracle and join a government headed by law p. it can happen again. it is time to go. and i'm not sure if it will be prime minister only for 4 mon
