Thank you very much for joining us israels new Coalition Government is yet to be sawn in but its already facing a major legal challenge judges of the Supreme Court have started hearing a case that argues it is illegal 8 separate petitions have been launched against a power sharing deal between the likud party of Benjamin Netanyahu and the blue and White Benny Gantz and a range meant was reached between the former rivals after 3 inconclusive elections in a year that speak to Harry Fossett was asked. For as they have been a number of protests against this Coalition Government in israel have a bring us up to speed with whats happening in court today and what the court is considering. Indeed this is one of those protests and anti coalition protest also kind of a watch along in a park here outside the Israeli Parliament the knesset were there watching the proceedings on a big screen and interestingly what weve seen so far from the deliberations the initial sort of sketching out of the framework of how the judges are going to consider this question essentially there are 2 great issues that they are looking into one is the legality of the deal because both men benny gantz and Benjamin Netanyahu have tried to engineer a deal that somehow safeguards each mans position. And you know he wants to stay at least in some capacity as a Prime Ministerial figure even after he hands over the power to guns in 18 months time under the terms of the deal so that he can continue to fight off the corruption charges against him from that position dance wants to ensure that that does actually happen and that he isnt somehow cheated in the process in the intervening 18 months so both of them are being instituted essentially as coequal Prime Minister each one taking taking turn in the actual holding the power of that job and that is something thats never happened before so theres a question of whether that is legal whether the laws that are needed to institute that are actually constitutional thats going to be deliberated on tomorrow right now what theyre looking at is the eligibility of nessun yahoo under indictment to form a new government the question whether he is actually Prime Minister as things stand or rather a caretaker figure a member of the knesset whos looking to form a government if the latter then do restrictions against a minister being able to form an oath to serve under indictment. So they apply to a Prime Minister now so far the judges seem to have indicated that there is a huge amount of political pressure and momentum for a government to be formed after 3 inconclusive elections there was no admission of that essentially saying that the train had left the station by the chief justice but at the same time they also seem to be exploring at least ways that they might try to limit some of his powers especially on appointing judges and intervention in the legal system so those are the early indications were getting from what theyre talking about so far very thank you very much for that harry foster live for saying in west jerusalem of course well be checking in with you throughout the day here to find out the latest in those Court Proceedings and thousands of palestinian neighbors are returning to work in israel for the 1st time since crossings were closed in march because of the coronavirus pandemic it follows an agreement between israel and the Palestinian Authority last month some employers were accused of dumping palestinian workers at checkpoints after they showed called the 1000. 00 symptoms Rights Groups accuse israel of failing to ensure workers safety aljazeera is needed abraham is in bethlehem and says despite the health risks the workers are an important source of income for the Palestinian Authority. Thousands of palestinian workers are returning to their work in israel after it agreement has been made to allow them to go there and stay there for a couple of weeks this has been a daily commute for many workers but after the outbreak of corbett 19 an agreement has been made for them to stay in israel a similar agreement was made a couple of weeks ago but some of those workers said that they couldnt find suitable accommodation so they came back according to this agreement around 40000 palestinian workers are expected to cross into israel on sunday and monday they are workers in the agriculture industry and construction sectors they are important for the israeli economy and they are also important for the Palestinian Economy they generate around 2 and a half 1000000000. 00 into the palestinians weak economy every year so its been a tough decision for the Palestinian Authority to make on the one hand around 74 percent of infections have come from workers and those around them but at the same time theyre crucial for the economy that has already taken a heads because of closures because of covered 900. 00 on the way here weve passed through 2 palestinian checkpoints manned by Palestinian Security forces and they said that theyre only allowing entry to those who have originated permits and they can prove that they can stay in israel for a month now work spec to get those workers to come back in 3 weeks or so in time for the islamic holiday over it will filter and this is going to be the real test for palestinians they said their movement is going to be coordinated with the Palestinian Authority to ensure that they dont spread infections if and so its going to be a challenge for the Palestinian Authority which has already managed to kind of control the outbreak of course as 90.
