i believe that other parts in the coalition do not share the same view as smotrich and ben—gvir. coalition because of many internal problems, let's say. he's indicted and many other problems. so, here he is not... i don't believe that he is adopting their view. maybe you're just refusing to accept reality. some time ago, you said, "there is a struggle over the soul of israel. "the nation is in danger of breaking in two." seems to me, if it breaks in two, you might be on the losing side. do you believe so? i will never lose — never. we will never lose. i think that though we are as being a liberal, we are, as being a liberal, as we live in a democracy, i believe that the majority, the vast majority — more than 80% of israelis — believe in democracy and believe in liberalism. so, i don't see it as a real threat, but it's a potential threat that we have to deal with. tamir pardo, we've run out of time. i thank you very much indeed forjoining me on hardtalk. thank you. thank you very much. hello. tuesday brought no shortage of heavy downpours to many parts of the uk. but over the nex

the finance minister bezalel smotrich and itamar ben gvir, the minister for national security.hat he'd been working up a plan against the two israeli ministers, as part of the last conservative government until the general election intervened. but he said he didn't agree with the labour government's restrictions on arms sales to israel. i think there are perhaps other things we can do to put pressure on on netanyahu and say, look, of course we respect your right to self—defence, but we do want you to act within the law. and in fact, before i left office, we were i was working up sanctions on these two ministers. minister smotrich and ben—gvir, who when you look at what they say, they have said things like encouraging people to stop aid convoys getting into gaza. they've encouraged extreme settlers in the west bank with the appalling things they've been carrying out. and so actually saying to netanyahu, yes, we support your right to self—defence. no, we're not going to end the sale of arms. but actually, when ministers in your government who are extremists and behave in this way

gallant himself to others, smotrich, and those who are finally against netanyahu's actions, mr. take mr. bengant, take those who are in the opposition or opponents of netanyahu anyway, and the demonstrations of 300,400,000 people in tel aviv, all this shows that the identity crisis within the zionist regime has reached a stage where it can happen at any moment. his government will fall , and maybe this is much more severe. all the displaced people are now from the settlements in the north of the occupied land, in terms of the attacks that hezbollah has carried out now , and the martyrdom of seyed al-resistance gave a promise that, firstly , hezbollah became global, now hezbollah is only lebanese. not you in the demonstrations that people are doing in supporting the people of palestine and lebanon, you see the hezbollah flag is flying high and hezbollah cells are multiplying all over the world, tomorrow in france, london, and germany, and here you should witness the presence of hezbollah cells. thank you very much for the answer of dr. farkhadempour agree , please make an honest

was confused, especially that last night, in the meeting of the war cabinet formed by netanyahu , smotrich and gallant clashed over the action that should be taken against the islamic republic of iran, but there is one thing i want to point out to you , that is well, a few days before this rocket response, trump's son-in-law kushner wrote a note on twitter to take action against the islamic republic. iran expresses its design as the first step. the psychological operation against the islamic republic of iran and the resistance brings up the second argument, that after hitting hezbollah, we should go towards hitting the islamic republic of iran, because hezbollah was the main weapon that was aimed at the regime, and now is the best time for us. there is a historical opportunity to shoot at the islamic republic of iran and take action . well, we know last year in june. before the haqsa storm operation, the dado study center of the army general headquarters publishes a strategy document , in which the plan and design of regime three for dealing with the resistance, especially the islamic repu

galant, the minister of war of the zionist regime, and smotrich, the minister of finance, have a difference of opinion. there are so many that even the hebrew media are covering the chaotic situation in the occupied territories these days. i wanted to add this point. let me say that the resistance groups, in addition to the happiness of the people in different countries , we have received the images of navi, which we have in various news sections about these joys, more for the people on the news network. yes, the children of gaza are really happy. it was a pleasure to see these images from the frame of the national media, we are updating these images , they are reaching us , we will cover them in different news sections, the resistance groups are also very happy and are issuing messages from the islamic resistance movement of al-najba. previously, he published a statement saying that netanyahu is exactly the same i read their words, the foolish netanyahu thought he had won the war. it is the same word published by this iraqi islamic resistance group. in addition to the media that i was foll

temporary truce, then let's go and fight, but the sword of damocles is not on both bengfir and smotrich's neck, if you go and accept the truce, we will resign . in which direction will netanyahu go with all this fuss and all that in fact. international moral, legal, and judicial violations are being pursued by two courts, the hague court, in a way , the war crimes court in the form of, therefore, it is possible that he will actually commit a suicide operation and embark on an adventure, and therefore the warnings the islamic republic of iran has only an aspect of intimidation and i don't know, it does not have a propaganda aspect, it also has a legal aspect and a diplomatic aspect. and it also has an international aspect that we announced that we do not intend to continue after this strike and even the spokesman of the sunni regime army said that apparently we do not see any signs of continuing our attacks, so this in itself confirms iran's words that we are this strike. but the fingers are still on the trigger that if you want to make a mistake, in fact, no one can complain about iran an

and there he empowered the far right, essentially the ben—gvir ideology, the smotrich ideology. occupied west bank over to them. he practically said that, go ahead, annexe it. in fact, we don't consider settlements to be a violation of international law, as the un says. do you remember all that? and then they had to walk a lot of it back. and so, you know, moved the embassy tojerusalem from tel aviv. basically did a whole load of things that previous american administrations refused to do pending a final settlement of the palestinian—israeli conflict, because many of those areas are what the world and palestinians have set aside for their state. christiane, to to take it back to what impact this might have on the american election. i'm really interested to hear from you what you think the impact is on american voters. i've noticed going around talking to people that donald trump's talking points that america shouldn't be involved in foreign wars and shouldn't be the world's policeman, funding other crises as well, is coming through a lot, and notjust from big trump supporters. i

of political reasons, because he's so rely on the most extreme political in israel, ben gvir and smotrich will continue the war without bringing the hostages back home. this is, this is very, very sensitive and if you're missing the point, it's not coming back anymore. and we saw what happened in the north. we killed nasrallah, which was great enemy. and it was very important, but we didn't use the minute. and then, you know, it become so in gaza, right now we are in a very good position. we need to take an offensive political solution. what israel wants from gaza. what do we agree to do in order to achieve it? how we are going to work with qatar, with egypt, with the united states in order to change the reality in gaza, to bring the hostages back home, and to bring somebody else to control gaza, not hamas this will be a victory. >> major general. thank you for coming and joining us. i really appreciate it. and up next, we'll check in here from the ground in tel aviv, but also back in the u.s. fox news tonight is disputing a claim that donald trump made about networks status refers and wh

i mean, they have called again and again, people like ben—gvir smotrich, for israel to go for the maximalisther it be hamas, hezbollah or iran. and i think they sensed that there might be an opportunity this time to really go after some of the targets that mr netanyahu himself has wanted to — the iranian nuclear programme, for example, and to really inflict the kind of damage on the iranian authorities, on the iranian leadership, that it would find hard to come back from. again, as lyse was saying, i mean, the one reaction that i�*ve seen, and i think it gives an indication of where the more right wing, even far—right elements might go, is from the opposition leader, yair lapid, who is seen as a moderate and who has said that the operation should have gone further, that it should have hit economic targets. it should have really hit iran where it hurts. it hasn�*t made iran pay enough for what it did on october the 1st. and within that, also back in april, its missile, drone and rocket attack on israel then and its use, its manipulation of its proxies in the region, whether it be hezbollah, h

think that's accurate in the case because it's it's sort of undeniable and it comes to bend over in smotrich. the two people you're referring to. but i think trump is a more ambiguous case. i think there's a very strong case for saying, oh, trump is a nazi, not nazi. excuse me, fascist. fascist yes, not nazi, that there's not a strong case for that. sorry, c-span for shocking your viewers, but i that it's it's a debate, kind of a cul de sac where it's a what's the prize for winning that that trump is a fascist. okay you've. you've established your own confidence that trump a fascist said something to you couple of days ago. he said he said, we are the zionists of india actually. well, yeah that speaks to to dan's point earlier about far right affinities. but but i just, i think it's a it's a debate that ends up not having much of a purpose. and it's more like an academic. myers-briggs testimony thing else. all right. we have time for one last question, gentleman over here. right here. yeah, yeah. what's it? oh, okay let's end on a hopeful note there. go france, talk about what happened in fr
