thanks but netanyahu isn't king. step show you there are only 2 options either a government that iran or a dangerous government that's based on arab parties. it was built and jury in these times more than ever especially in front of the major political and security challenges that we face there must not be a government based on. his party's. voters to fight predictions of fatigue and turned out in larger numbers than the last poll in april many say it's time for netanyahu to go down you know you can be sure netanyahu has probably run his course. this time has passed about as one of. us so all of netanyahu is like a phoenix when we think he's finished he rises up again but i really hope the government will change. i think he was a good leader but i think it's about time to end the chapter or period to netanyahu is political survival is on a knife edge a political wisit this election may turn out to be the one that broke the spell in football 2 of germany's champions league sides got they european campaigns underway on

you know there were these placards all over israel with trump and netanyahu together. make about a poor calculation here. well i think actually it was it was netanyahu who was making the calculation i think he was delivering the message that he could get virtually anything out of trump and in seeking to make that impression he was talking about a rather extreme step which would be occupying annexing. much of the west bank and he knew he could get away with it that trump would support him on this where he was mistaken in thinking that this would be a game changer for him on his corruption charges and other problems with them and of course it didn't work out that way ok you know you know so you let's go back to tell of eve i mean. it's going to be a new government eventually but how much different will it be from netanyahu is government and his long tenure as prime minister i mean it seems to me there's so much focus on personalities here but policy wise again for my perch very far away it looks not even new once go ahead and tell be well i think the reason is sea change

benjamin netanyahu has a habit of promising dramatic announcements in the run up to elections and he did so again on tuesday when it came it was not a unilateral decision about an accession as some had predicted instead the message to right wing settler voters was a vote for netanyahu would in concert with the trumpet ministration mean extending israeli sovereignty to all illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and in the shorter term the annexation of the jordan valley yes. there is one place where it's possible to apply israeli sovereignty immediately after the election if i receive a clear mandate to do so from you the citizens of israel in recent months of late at diplomatic effort in this direction in recent days the conditions for this have ripened today i'm announcing my intention to apply with the formation of the next government israeli sovereignty on the jordan valley and know we're going to see. the jordan valley represents some 30 percent of the occupied west bank and some of its most fertile agricultural land israeli policy has long been that it needs to retain con

israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has promised to annex all settlements in the occupied west bank as he seeks to boost turnout among his conservative base in the run up to cling to tomorrow's closely fought repeat election is being held because mr netanyahu has been unable to form a governing coalition since the 1st election in april. its main opponent benny gantz has also been mobilizing support w.'s talent reports. for the 2nd time in the year newly it runs this family owned cafe will be casting his ballot he hopes that benyamin netanyahu will from the next coalition government bibi as everyone calls to prime minister some time stops by for coffee and pastry at this neighborhood cafe like many other likud supporters said no i'll turn it if to the long serving leader. live in a demolition the man has experienced and this is extremely important it's very important for people here to have someone to run the state as he does it a state like israel with so many challenges and having good relations with world leaders all around the world. following the last election in april neta

basically for instance he's been very much against netanyahu proposal and netanyahu was pushed to grant all orthodox jews a pardon basically to allow them not to serve in the army 1st thing really just as if they if they are all subjects of the orthodox jewish jewish population so he's he's sort of a dark horse and he could be the kingmaker over these whole elections but indeed. the only the only supporters that we've seen cheering after the exit polls war months supported supporters when it comes to the response from netanyahu and from the blue and white party camps it has been moved to do. as you've mentioned to have a listen. but then you know failed for the 2nd time in 3 months you failed to forming a coalition in may failed in getting 61 mandates now we are the largest party and i think it's a good result for israel we are keeping an optimistic mind because last time it was the exact same thing people said that he could have lost then when the real results came in we saw that we received a few mandates and we actually won the elections so very very cautious response and as he can s

yes hi neal benjamin netanyahu here in. russia's presidential and alexey summer residence this is there a 3rd the 0 lawn and they have 13 meeting in the last year is it makes you take the international leader that benjamin netanyahu has meant more than any other leader during this time and has very cool to maintain we were invited to film the beginning of this meeting both politicians were smiling while they entered the room and both in their welcome speeches were very positive about how strong he found a fruitful the relations between russia and israel currently are let's take a listen. thank you. but when you look at it i'm not afraid to say that things to your reference to a large extent our relations have reached new levels on security issues and military cooperation and we know how important that is especially taking into account the continuing threat from international terrorism. because there are 2 additional factors that play in the celebration of time. it's between our countries the carefully weighed policies of bo

he didn't mention netanyahu there. and that can't be good news for netanyahu, who has spent years cultivating his relationship with donald trump. he canceled his trip to the general assembly. he's spoken there every year for the past ten years or so. that's a big deal. this was netanyahu's favorite podium to rail against iran. it would offer a photo op with trump, which is something that he would never miss. and that gives you an idea of the tight spot that netanyahu is in right now. netanyahu made a call for a unity government. that's a move to put pressure on his rival to support him. that doesn't seem likely because benny gantz's campaign was predicated on not sitting with netanyahu. it seems that netanyahu is just trying to blame gantz if this country goes to third election. and that seems like a not remote possibility. >> a long road ahead for orren leiberma leibermann. thank you, sir. >>> the washington monument will we open to visitors after being closed for years for generations. melania trump will attend the r

i still think netanyahu is a magician but unfortunately for him. there is another israeli magician there is a boom maybe to even manipulate the great magician is name is a big the liberal if you take the 8 seats the liberal man. has received in this elections and you add them to the alliance of the israeli right plus the drought of dogs and the national orthodox you get a clear majority in it and how it still be able to form a government in addition to that unfortunately also for us israelis. the israeli arabs are not natural partners for any government in israel of course not for a right wing national government headed by newton you know another by guns who is not very likely to add the our party the 12 new members of knesset new and old members of knesset from the united arab party to his coalition so netanyahu having said what you're see just an attorney all made some mistakes and he cried too many times will i believe that and actually he cried. one time he cried wolf and out and was about to open a war which was. too transparent even for his s

netanyahu's country that jonathan mentioned. neta nyahu's success in country that jonathan mentioned. netanyahu's success in building relations with countries like saudi arabia. we hear that us troops are heading to their region. the secretary of state has been talking about this. what is your take coming after the attacks? the interesting thing about watching donald trump is that he is a schoolyard bully and we know that he likes to threaten and brandishes weapons. but i think ultimately what we are seeing is that he does not actually want to create a confrontation. the threat from iran i've a few attacked us, then game on, i think, this very odd comment from trump when this happened saying we are waiting for out happened saying we are waiting for our instruction from saudi arabia, thatis our instruction from saudi arabia, that is extraordinary for our president of the united states to say. any other president would have been demolished for this kind of thing. i think he is not going to do anything unless someone initiates it.

but if netanyahu is refusing as he clearly is now to join that option where. he get the 6 seats he needs for a government a mere parade says left wing labor alliance temptingly has just that number but he refused again on wednesday to sit with netanyahu benny gantz has said his blue and white alliance with $32.00 seats will stay together and his secularist partner pede would be unlikely to serve with netanyahu ultra-orthodox allies all day with him over here we will wait another day or 2 and wish the people of israel a good and necessary unity government that the system will calm down a little bit and we will move along. dance's own prospects could be improved if a mainly palestinian israeli joint list now the 3rd biggest party in the knesset recommends him for prime minister it could even be a step on the road to what its leader iman order says he wants to head the official opposition netanyahu post-election play is certainly no time to carry on making the political weather but in a sign that this is a crisis for a man who in just 2 weeks faces his 1st pre in

begin voting in a 2nd general election in less than 6 months that will decide prime minister benjamin netanyahu whose political future. hong kong's leader says she will begin talking to community leaders next week in a bid to end the ongoing protests. and the toxic haze spreading across indonesia schools in airports are closed because of widespread fires. over u.s. president donald trump says it looks like iran was behind saturday's drone attacks that's crippled more than half of saudi arabia's oil production but he says he doesn't want to war and will wait to see definitive proof of the iran's involvement before deciding how to respond trump said secretary of state mike pompei will be traveling to riyadh soon to coordinate a response. america's close ally the u.k. says it will work with international partners to present what it calls the widest and most effective response of saudi arabia says the attacks were carried out using iranian weapons attack iran maintains it is not responsible yemen's hooty rebels say they were behind the attacks and have warned that more strikes are coming gabriel el

his main electoral opponent former army chief benny gantz gaza is netanyahu is a weak point on security policy the deterrence has been utterly eroded it's time to act it's time to put an end to this it's time to change the leadership against challenge netanyahu to come to the southern town of steroids and look into the eyes of its frightened residents but stare out has long been a stronghold of netanyahu as likud party and in april's elections 2 thirds of its voters chose netanyahu or his right wing allies over gun says centrist bloc and. we hope it will be fine i don't have the tools that needs an eon will has i hope what should be done is done and. netanyahu doesn't bring a security on the days rockets are launched that doesn't mean that i stop believing in him on one level netanyahu is approach is hardline israeli snipers have killed more than $300.00 unarmed protesters over 18 months of border demonstrations rockets out of gaza. with punitive airstrikes guns calls for a broader military campaign but it's precise outline and prospects of success seem as hazy as the gaza skyline from

prime minister netanyahu and the way prime minister netanyahu use that throughout the campaign. that's a very good question and that tells us of course a lot about both the. the type of president person trump is meeting in the end the day. you know ease not much of a friend really i mean and then to the day he cares about his close family and so on so forth and everything else is a question of interest and. and in a perfect on the scale of for profit or loss and here i think probably my understanding from that kind of a tone is he probably saying bye bye to another now and hello to whatever the new next prime minister is that's one too and i think that's more important is that if you think about it come out i mean the next song called national jewish unity government would have not a lot in common necessarily in terms of person a persona if there was a programs especially after 2 seasons of hostilities and during 2 election campaigns and so in a sense the thing that could really bring them together more than anything else white and blue party and they could party is that of the

saying that after years of being dealer just a miser by netanyahu administration it was time that the palestinian israeli population really made its voice heard inside israeli politics but he also said and he quoted a psalm some 88 about how the the rock that had been jettisoned set aside by the builders had now become the cornerstone he was talking about how palestinian israeli society should now take part properly in israeli politics a saying that for too long. that it had been diligent in my eyes then that very important issues such as crime social issues economic issues and indeed the repealing of the nation state law which he said made the arab sector of the population here into 2nd class citizens all of these things needed to be done they would not they said vote for a coalition unity government but they would recommend benny gantz as the 1st step towards getting rid of benjamin netanyahu and i as you say this is a bit of a numbers game hand another key player or other don't even is refusing to back either netanyahu all dance so how will he have facts the final outcome. well yes

berlin the stakes are very high in israel's that country holds its 2nd election this year benjamin netanyahu is hoping to hold on to power that despite corruption allegations against him but he's facing a very strong challenge from former military chief benny gantz also coming up on the show just one last thing you see on the street. i don't see international honors the swedish environmental activist greater who calls for more mass protests in the fight against climate change. and a former u.s. intelligence agent edward snowden says the government surveillance and social media giants are shredding your right to privacy details are out in his new book. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us well polls have opened in israel's 2nd general election this year it's expected to be a tight race both prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his main opponent wrapping up their campaigns with visits to the western wall in jerusalem is hope today's election will end the political crisis that began when netanyahu was unable to form a government after the last election that was just 5 months ago in a

agreement between netanyahu and his government and trump steam which seems to be working for netanyahu more than working for trump to implement his ideas that a coalition of you lose a limb as a couple of israel as a condition of the annexation of the golan heights. and attack on a new rule and cut of lot of funding from palestinian authority and the united nations relief and works agency an actual plan to liquidate the palestinian refugee rights and an actual change in the american policy which stopped supporting the 2 state solution and now is talking about self governing authority under a system of apartheid on the ground what we see is a full fledged system of apartheid and frankly speaking i do not see much difference between gantz and that and you know they all are against stablish want of a palestinian state they are all for continuation of occupation and they are both. participating in consolidating a system of apartheid so no i take this very seriously. also speaking about an exertion not only of jordan valley but of the whole area of sea and i believe this is a trend that is

prime minister netanyahu and it's ano is on the offensive to want to sort of lead this show here some of his it factor saying that it's actually an act of desperation but he did put benny gantz in a difficult position especially that benny gantz has been saying all along during this campaign and in previous campaign earlier this year that he would never be in a government with a man who is facing corruption charges so meaning benjamin netanyahu so we'll have to wait to see what he's going to say but on the other side benny gantz also knows that probably forming a national unity government would be the only way ahead i mean there are. analysts here talk about several scenarios but that would be probably the easiest one if you factor in avigdor lieberman described as the kingmaker with his 9 seats he is the one who can make any government tilt in one direction or the other and avigdor lieberman said shortly after the exit polls the 1st exit polls on election night that he is favoring a national unity government that includes likud he didn't say that he was favoring a position for benjam

the clasp of netanyahu and trump is very, very tight. if netanyahu loses, then that's going to be a little embarrassment for donald trump. obviously, not fatal to his own presidential chances, but -- because that is farther down the road. the interesting question is going to be, for me, is what is going to be on top of the minds of israeli voters when they go to the polls on tuesday. when there was an election earlier this year, the opposition tried to make it about corruption to a large degree. beg your pardon, netanyahu faces all kinds of corruption, from israeli authorities. it didn't quite work. that was not enough to be sort of -- to undermine netanyahu's election prospects. what is that message this time around? looking from a little bit of a distance, it doesn't seem clear to me that the opposition has been able to deliver a blow. my hunch is, at the end of the day, you're going to wind up again with a sort of inconclusive result where trump -- i keep -- freudian slips, i'm sorry. where netanyahu is probably the largest party but
