Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu is determined to stay in power. In the coming days we will convene negotiations to assemble a strong zionist government. Will he succeed or will he be forced to give way to his main rival. Of the blue and white alike. Im burned off its good to have you with us in an International Act of show intel today saudi arabia displayed evidence that it says proves that the weekends attacks on its Oil Facilities were quote deniable sponsored by iran backing up its claims with satellite images and weapons debris saudi arabia said that the attacks showed a distinct growth in a radiant aggression now that came as u. S. Secretary of state mike pump aoe arrived in riyadh and that followed washingtons earlier announcement by the u. S. President that it is imposing new sanctions on iran. Remnants of drones and a Cruise Missile the Saudi Defense ministry claims they were among the weapons used in last weekends strikes on 2 of its Oil Facilities maps drawn up to show that the attack most likely came from a northerly direction saudi military spokesman colonel Turki Al Maliki said the a so was sponsored by iran and did not originate in yemen in the south the home of the rebels who earlier claimed responsibility. But the colonel didnt explicitly accuse tehran of launching the attack and admitted they didnt know where the weapons were fired from. But we are working to know exactly the launch point. 30 over who over lunch they always be or the Cruise Missile will take that talent ability for attacking the saudi of a structure and the so its really a you know iran has renewed its denial of involvement in the tank. Well its it was completely clear and these claims and accusations office to be completely seriously and decisively rejects it. Saudi arabias ally washington is saying off the record its convinced of irans involvement but President Trump is avoiding direct accusations and being cautious when it comes to questions of u. S. Military involvement we havent learned much that we didnt know but there is there is a certain. I guarantee factor were really at a void now where we know very much what happened you know theres plenty of time to do some desperately things its very easy to start. And well see what happens. U. S. Secretary of state might pump aoe has arrived in saudi arabia hes called the strikes on saudi arabias Oil Infrastructure an act of war meeting with the crown prince he said washington wants to build a coalition of european and arab partners to deter and confront threats. Are trying to make sense youre out of the show when till in the threats that are being issued im joined at the big table now by moroccan transfield shes an International Consultant for the Yemen Polling Center that yemens 1st and only independent Research Center its good to have you on the show so what do you make of what we saw all today particularly coming from saudi arabia. Well its its definitely an impressive show that the saudis are going to hear. Its difficult to evaluate exactly what this evidence needs. Given the current context where all defense parties to this conflict are interested to portrayed this attack in their favor but what can you see this than the rebels theyve claimed responsibility and we know that theyre backed by iran so when they claim responsibility for an attack like this. Does that automatically imply that iran is partly responsible. I would say that if any of the proxies of iran whether its the whole fees or the hashed or any other proxy is responsible for such an attack then of course iraq iran also holds certain responsibility as they are the ones providing the technology right and they are probably also involved in providing intelligence as i doubt that especially the who fees would not have the kind of intelligence and and this detail know how to perform such an attack and you were talking earlier just because theyre the rebels claim responsibility doesnt mean that theyre responsible yes of course because the truth is in this moment are interested in protecting themselves of course to be able to do such an attack. And it would be the 1st time that the who things have claimed an attack that was then doubted by other actors theyre doing this is a p. R. Stunt it could be a p. R. Stunt right it certainly could be what about the Un International in investigation that were talking about right now how widely is it that that is going to happen and we do you do you see it happening. I think it is necessary for such an independent investigation to happen as. Saudi arabia has all the asli involved in the conflict and has for years been trying to present evidence to the International Community of irans involvement and such attack is. But. I think it is unlikely for a saudi arabia and iran to guarantee that such an investigation is indeed independent and so the outcomes within the question of thats a very good point today the rebels issued new threats saying that there were other salty arabian sites on their radar for possible attacks and also Oil Companies in the United Arab Emirates as well do you think that the the rebels who followed through on those threats. Well have to see certainly. Is are interested in again showing they are capable of doing such threats they are at the moment consolidating their control of northern yemen and really showing that they are there to stay and threatening the. Key actors in the conflict in yemen is really part of this consolidation of power in northern yemen. I dont think that they will pull through on attacks on on the u. A. E. I believe that the u. S. Is trying to deescalate the situation towards iran and and given the influence that iran has on the whole with the. I doubt iran would push the with ease and that actually its definitely a complicated calculus when youre talking about the Power Dynamics in this region right you transfield with the yemen pollings and you coming in helping us understand this tonight thank you.

Well israels Bitterman Netanyahu is future as that countrys longest serving Prime Minister it is hanging in the balance tonight with almost all the votes counted after yesterdays election his right Wing Likud Party is neck and neck with the Blue White Alliance of centrist begun netanyahu has been unable to form a Coalition Government since the countrys last inconclusive election back in april. If he was disappointed on Election NightBinyamin Netanyahu certainly wasnt showing its far from conceding defeat he failed to remain at the helm. In the coming days we will convene negotiations to assemble a strong zionist government and to prevent a Dangerous Anti zionist government. His plans may well be faulted by Opposition Leader benny gantz he stopped short of declaring victory but his tone was one of victory for his blue and white party. If he had thought so tell mr cording to the initial results netanyahu did not succeed in his mission. Thank god we on the other hand prove that our idea called blue and white a project we established just over 6 months ago is a huge success and here to stay. And this man cos himself as king maker i think dont leave him and his secular right wing party use rail bits a new we vital in any governing coalition. We have just one option. Of broadly liberal unity government. Formed of years israel beit hanoun. Could. Blue and white. Thanks but netanyahu isnt keen. Look step show you there are only 2 options either a government that iran or a dangerous government thats based on arab parties. It was but 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 partys. Voters to fight predictions of fatigue and turned out in larger numbers than the last poll in april many say its time for netanyahu to go on you know you can show us netanyahu has probably run his cause. This time has passed about as well though. I saw netanyahu is like a phoenix when we think hes finished he rises up again but i really hope the government will change. I think he was a good leader but i think its about time to end the chapter on. 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 are sports news now in football 2 of germanys Champions League zines got their european campaigns underway on wednesday night with mixed results byron started the group stage with a win as they beat serbian side Red Star Belgrade 3 nil robert of adelphi scored byrons 2nd taking his goal tally for the season to 9 elsewhere it was a tough night for laver who is in they fell to a 21 defeat at home to look at more t.
