indicated it is willing to discuss a new plan to end the war in gaza unveiled by us presidentjoe biden. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has again insisted that the war will end only once hamas is destroyed. the opposition leader, yair lapid, has urged the prime minister to accept the proposal. speaking earlier, mr lapid suggested that if right wing members of benjamin netanyahu s coalition resigned in protest, his party would continue to support the government in its efforts to secure a hostage deal. it comes as mr netanyahu repeated that israel will continue to focus on the destruction of hamas and the freeing of all hostages. he was responding to a three phase proposal presented by us president, joe biden, who says hamas is no longer capable of launching another october 7 style attack on israel. meanwhile, egyptian state linked tv is reporting a meeting between egyptian, us and israeli officials will take place sunday to discuss the reopening of the rafah cr
familiar music, but no panel tonight. one leader, one after another, facing a live audience for half an hour each. and first, the prime minister asked about the story we brought you throughout the day. aren t the emerging allegations about betting on the election date the absolute epitome of the lack of ethics that we have had to tolerate from the conservative party for years and years. like you, i was incredibly angry, incredibly angry to learn of these allegations. it is a really serious matter. it is right they are being investigated properly but you are happy not to suspend them, to let them carry on and go on in the election? obviously, they have not admitted anything, no one is saying a decision has been taken about their guilt or innocence, but you are happy for them to go into the election and represent you and the conservative party? fiona, as you said, these investigations are ongoing, but what i can tell you, if anyone is found to have broken the rules, not only wi
