00:03:24good night, a new night of tonight's news and tonight, the round of recommendations at the President's
00:03:28Residence has ended, now it begins for you.
00:03:30The hard part. Shahar Glick will tell us from there what Gadiznut intends to do
00:03:34with the mandate he received from Herzog.
00:03:36And in parallel, there are those who still loudly call for a broad
00:03:40Zionist unity government. When all the leaders enter
00:03:43the room, they will emerge with a Zionist cooperation government.
00:03:47There is an opportunity here. Guy
00:03:50Ochman will be with us and we will ask if the situation were reversed, would he still
00:03:54call for broad agreement? Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is also sending a message
00:03:57regarding the formation of an Israeli government, Roi Kais. Will have the report
00:04:00according to which, Saudi Arabia is conveying that with Netanyahu, we will not reach a settlement,
00:04:04and also this disturbing story from south Tel Aviv and a violent
00:04:08attack on police officers. Do you want
00:04:11identification? What did you say before? Do you want identification? Do you want to identify? What
00:04:14did you say before, please? Let's close this. Prince
00:04:18Banks will be with us and tell us about the experience he went through in south Tel
00:05:01at the President's Residence, which has concluded. President Herzog says a short while ago, he
00:05:04tasked with forming the government this coming
00:05:07Sunday. I intend to task
00:05:11with forming the government this coming
00:05:14Sunday, in these conversations, I intend
00:05:17to turn over every stone to try to bring about an outstretched
00:05:21hand to build a stable and
00:05:24good government for the people of Israel.
00:05:28The one who is still at the President's Residence is Shahar Glick who joins us now. Hello, good
00:05:31evening. Hello, good evening. So like
00:05:35Independence Day, the parade of recommenders. What's the bottom
00:05:39line you're taking from these two rather busy days?
00:05:42At the President's Residence, yes, the text is over, and I think that the bottom line of President
00:05:46Herzog for us, of course he will task the President, the mandate on
00:05:49Eisenkot, after he received 67 recommenders, but I think
00:05:52that his bottom line, after this parade of talks, is that we
00:05:56are in a quagmire. Meaning President Herzog tried to bring up every problem
00:05:59there is with every representative who came, every faction, he explained the problematic issues to them. When the
00:06:03Haredim arrived, he asked them about enlistment. When the Arab parties arrived, he asked them what they would do
00:06:07in case of a security event with the government they want to support.
00:06:11And when the people of the change bloc arrived, he asked them why not unity? Meaning everyone who entered
00:06:15this room with Herzog basically gets in their face the
00:06:18complexity of forming a government. And therefore, President Herzog really
00:06:22when he tasks the mandate to Gadi Eisenkot, it sounds between
00:06:26the lines here that this is not the picture he would want to see. He will wait
00:06:29to see what happens and if Eisenkot in 28 days will really
00:06:33succeed in this mission. But afterwards, when Eisenkot asks for an extension, it's not
00:06:37sure he'll give it. And when Netanyahu asks for the mandate
00:06:40himself, it's not sure he'll give it. Herzog wants to show
00:06:43us – it sounds like it between the lines – that there's no choice but unity, that the State of
00:06:47Israel is heading for a crash, but again,
00:06:50this is my assessment based on what I hear between the weeks. Meanwhile, the mandate will go
00:06:54to Gadi Eisenkot, as is customary in the first stage,
00:06:57and only then, after we see all these efforts collide, will we understand
00:07:00if Israel is really going somewhere forward. So what actually happens tomorrow, or perhaps
00:07:04we should say on Sunday? Meaning, who is the first
00:07:08person Eisenkot approaches for negotiations, a so-called "from the easy to the difficult"
00:07:11approach, or actually?
00:07:15He really starts with the members of the change bloc, but then every negotiation
00:07:19Eisenkot conducts, he will have to do it as secretly as possible, for a very
00:07:23simple reason: the mere fact that you sat down for negotiations means you've already compromised
00:07:26on many of your principles. Meaning, if Bennett is now willing
00:07:30to publicly say that he is in negotiations with the Haredi parties about an exemption law
00:07:34from enlistment, then he has already given up a lot of his things
00:07:37on the way, in case we really go to another election or on the way
00:07:40to unity, and the same goes for the opposite side. Meaning, even if
00:07:44Netanyahu suddenly negotiates unity or Eisenkot negotiates unity, the moment
00:07:48you declare that the one opposite you is legitimate, then if you gain a government from it,
00:07:52everything is fine. Meaning, if you announce to the public that there is already a signed agreement, everything
00:07:55is fine. If you announced negotiations before they were concluded, you kind of dismantle
00:07:59your assets. And therefore, this is a stage that will have a lot of
00:08:03bypass routes, secret routes, they will try to make moves
00:08:06outside of our line of sight. I think Eisenkot is still
00:08:10aiming mainly at the Haredi parties first and foremost. If that doesn't work, then indeed
00:08:13with the support of the Arab parties, but but his first aspiration
00:08:17is perhaps to try that 61-member government of the change bloc
00:08:21with the
00:08:31on the streets of Israel, two murdered and 11 wounded in incidents of
00:08:34violence. Our reporter Agas Ginberg, hello, good evening, do you have the details
00:08:38about this bloody evening? Hello Sharon, yes, we are talking about a series of violent
00:08:41incidents across the country with emphasis on the last three
00:08:45hours, two murdered, 11
00:08:48wounded in seven different cities, both in the Arab community
00:08:51and in the Jewish community. We are talking about both shooting incidents and
00:08:54stabbings, the two murdered were
00:08:57murdered by gunfire, in Baqa al-Gharbiyye
00:09:00and in Tamra. There were also in the incident in Baqa al-Gharbiyye, up to
00:09:04four additional people were injured,
00:09:07and I mentioned seven different cities, so Baqa, we said, Sharon, also
00:09:11in Tamra, in Kfar.
00:09:42looking more broadly at the Middle East, where they are following
00:09:45what's happening at the President's Residence. Saudi Arabia may not have officially
00:09:49responded to the election results, but Roi Kais is revealing tonight
00:09:53what they think in Riyadh about the possibility of Netanyahu remaining in power. Hello
00:09:56Roi.
00:09:58Yes, Sharon, good night. So in Riyadh they don't officially refer
00:10:01to the election results in Israel like other countries in the region, but
00:10:05tonight we brought in the edition a reference from a Saudi source who is aware
00:10:08of the Kingdom's position on this issue, and he tells me that '.
00:10:12From the Saudis' perspective, as long as Netanyahu is in power with the current
00:10:15government, normalization between the countries is simply not
00:10:19on the table. The same Saudi source adds, "Netanyahu in Riyadh, he just wants
00:10:23to cause problems, he doesn't want peace but escalation." He emphasizes: "We have no
00:10:26personal problem with Netanyahu, but his policy does not
00:10:29allow for any progress in relations between the countries.
00:10:33Saudi Arabia wants peace, wants negotiations, wants the Israeli-Palestinian
00:10:36issue to be resolved on the basis of a two-state solution, but Netanyahu
00:10:39is simply not there." Regarding who might replace him, Gadi
00:10:43Eisenkot, the same Saudi source tells me the following: "Saudi Arabia has no
00:10:46interest in the identity of the Prime Minister of Israel, that is an internal
00:10:50Israeli matter. What is important to us is that whoever
00:10:53it may be, he will want to negotiate, to solve the problems that have been going on for
00:10:5670 years," referring, of course, to the Palestinians. And in this context, as
00:11:00we have reported in the past,
00:11:02the Saudis link normalization with Israel
00:11:06to significant progress on the Palestinian issue and not
00:11:09on other issues, such as Israeli assistance to the Saudis
00:11:13in their current fight against the Houthis in Yemen.
00:11:17Thank you very much. Prince Banks, he's a professional
00:11:20basketball player who claims he was violently attacked by police after they demanded
00:11:24he show his ID and he could not comply
00:11:45days. You're riding a scooter in South Tel
00:11:48Aviv. Police stop you because,
00:11:51at least according to them, you weren't wearing a helmet. What happens?
00:11:57So they stop me and ask me to identify myself
00:12:00and I don't have an Israeli ID, so I don't have
00:12:04a card to show them who I am and I can't
00:12:07identify myself from there. The police claim I'm lying to them
00:12:11and they take out a fingerprint device. I
00:12:14press on the fingerprint device and they don't need to identify me in the system
00:12:18and from there they start jumping on me and threatening
00:12:21me and while they are on me, I take out my phone
00:12:25to film. One of the policemen told me that if I don't identify myself
00:12:28now, he will take, he will take me to the police
00:12:31station and they will taze me
00:12:35and beat me up in the police station. This is
00:12:38basically, this is basically the day he tells you even before you take out
00:12:42the - you can't take out the phone, he tells you just because you couldn't
00:12:46identify yourself and you explained to him that you don't have an ID in the sense that you haven't received
00:12:49one.
00:12:51Yes, the moment I take out the phone and I ask him to repeat what he
00:12:55said, he tries to change the situation
00:12:58and make me make the situation as if it's
00:13:01reversed and he comes and asks me, "Do you want to identify yourself? Do you want
00:13:04to identify yourself?" And I tell him, "Repeat what you said, repeat what you said a moment ago."
00:13:07They threaten me and then he came and said, after I went
00:13:11aside, they came and jumped on me and told me that I have no rights here and that I can't
00:13:15do anything here and they are in control here right now, and from there they come
00:13:19and start pulling my hair, trying to throw me to the ground, stepping
00:13:22on me, as a result of which my very expensive
00:13:25watch breaks, and from there they handcuff me and throw me
00:13:29into the van, and I'm in the van for two hours in the same
00:13:32place, not moving, while I ask for help to call a lawyer,
00:13:36to call my parents, to call someone to know that I'm being held, that I'm
00:13:39arrested. For two hours you're in the police
00:13:42van without any ability to communicate with the outside
00:13:45world?
00:13:48Yes, two hours, and after that they drive to the police
00:13:51station, from the Sharett station in South Tel Aviv on HaMasger Street. This
00:13:55is a minute from the incident, and after
00:13:58I get there, they handcuff me, take off the handcuffs and tell
00:14:02me, "Okay, we'll send you a report of
00:14:06the incident of what happened with a court summons, you can leave
00:14:09as if nothing happened." Why do they claim you were inciting? I mean, what
00:14:13what was actually
00:14:14the accusation?
00:14:18According to them, I tried to escape, and when I'm riding a city scooter,
00:14:21I can't escape, I stop in place and listen.
00:14:25I stop in place and put the scooter aside, park it. There was no
00:14:29reason for five policemen to come and jump on me. Yes. The police said
00:14:33in response, let's just read their response. The suspect was seen riding an electric scooter on
00:14:36the sidewalk, without a helmet and while committing traffic offenses. Despite
00:14:40police calls to stop, the suspect continued his ride, refused
00:14:43to identify himself and refused to be detained, and as a result was arrested. It will be clarified that enforcement was carried out
00:14:47professionally, any other statement on a racist background deviates
00:14:51from the truth and distorts the facts. Uh,
00:14:53Prince. Do you think there was something
00:14:57beyond the problem with
00:14:58the helmet?
00:15:01Absolutely. I believe that if I had a different skin
00:15:04color, they would have released me after five minutes or after 10
00:15:08minutes and I wouldn't have had to go to the station. And certainly
00:15:11I shouldn't have had to go through this violence or stay two hours in the van with my hands
00:15:15cuffed behind my back. As if I'm some terrorist. Have similar things
00:15:19happened to you before with the police?
00:15:22Yes. Unfortunately, similar things have happened to me before.
00:15:26I had a worse incident, where they came
00:15:29to me after practice, after basketball practice, I came
00:15:32home, police officers came to me and arrested me on suspicion
00:15:35of being mistaken for someone else. And after
00:15:49that they released me without any compensation, without any, without any apology
00:15:52from the police or any Prince, you, you
00:15:55were born, you were born here and you've lived here your whole
00:15:59life, how does, how do such incidents make you
00:16:01feel?
00:16:04It demoralizes me. In the end, I am, I am an Israeli in every way.
00:16:07It doesn't matter if I have a card or don't have a card, I am an Israeli in every way,
00:16:11I was born here, educated here, I have 12 years of schooling here,
00:16:15I have a full matriculation certificate here, I love my friends, I love my team, I love
00:16:19the country, I also want to contribute to the country, I want to enlist in the army,
00:16:23and there's no ability.
00:16:25Yes, your words are very painful and we hope
00:16:28that justice will be done with those police officers who treated you
00:16:53different topic, a little return to the political issue, but from a completely different direction,
00:16:57under the title "Unity government or we die," a public
00:17:00campaign was launched, calling on elected officials to form a government, a Zionist
00:17:04unity government. One of the people who participated in the call, there is a. What
00:17:07to agree to or the stand-up comedian and comedian Guy
00:17:10Ochman.
00:17:13Let's acknowledge the fact that there are many disagreements about many things,
00:17:17enlistment, responsibility for October 7th, whatever you want, but a Jewish
00:17:19majority wants Bibi and there's an Arab majority that probably doesn't want
00:17:23us. Let all the leaders enter the room, and they will come out
00:17:26with a Zionist cooperation government. There's an opportunity here, a small
00:17:29and vocal part of them will love it, a huge part of the people who just live
00:17:33their lives, will love it, and you've made a change,
00:17:36please. This is the combination. So what makes
00:17:39Guy Ochman join the unity camp? Guy Ochman, hello, good
00:17:43evening. Good evening,
00:17:46Dudovich. What's going on? What a smile! To get such a smile
00:17:50from you tonight? First of all, it's a lot of fun. What a frame I built for you? Look, my brother, a cake of opinions.
00:17:54Always for the pose, right? So he's
00:17:57always, I always see Amit Segal like that, everyone with bookshelves here, you know. Look how nice,
00:18:01brother. That's it, that's it, because you also want to convey a message that is, you know, important. This is no
00:18:04joke. So you're in this position, you're calling for a broad Zionist unity
00:18:08government that basically means, let's agree. So what message does Guy
00:18:12Ochman want to convey? Tell us.
00:18:15Listen, I want to convey, basically, the moment
00:18:19we saw the results and everything,
00:18:22suddenly you do the math
00:18:25and, you know, I understood that we can live
00:18:28together here. 33, 33
00:18:31opposition, coalition without extremists, Haredim, Arabs,
00:18:35we can really establish something here. As one, ah, there
00:18:38are opponents, but from what we feel, there
00:18:41are, there are people here who are thirsty for this. I'm telling
00:18:45you, I've been with the fighters
00:18:47in Gaza and in Judea and Samaria and everywhere
00:18:51for three years, people want to live their lives, they don't have the strength for another
00:18:55round. Of course there are those who want a right-wing government everywhere
00:18:59and there are those who want change everywhere, but there's a
00:19:01middle that needs to be addressed, even though it's not sexy,
00:19:05this whole unity thing.
00:19:08So you're saying our leaders actually need to grow balls, you intentionally
00:19:12said "balls," brother, it's night, we're allowed, we're allowed to grow
00:19:16balls. Okay, Guy, I'm going to make it a little harder on you, apropos
00:19:19political balls. Yes, of course it's not, let's say
00:19:23the results were reversed, let's say there were 61 for a right-wing government, for the side you perhaps agree with more,
00:19:26would you still call for what is called broad cooperation, a broad unity
00:19:30government? Would you still go in that direction, or only now
00:19:33because it just doesn't work out, in order to get out of this situation? Again, I'll say '.
00:19:48They are my heart, I went with them, burned or not burned, and here it doesn't
00:19:52matter. Also in this initiative, by the way, for a
00:19:55national partnership government, there are representatives from the right, representatives
00:19:58from the left, and
00:20:01you know, in the middle there's the majority of the
00:20:04quiet people, those who go to work.
00:20:15You think we absolutely need this government, and without Arabs and without that,
00:20:19in the middle is the majority of the people, many disagreed,
00:20:23who are usually the noisy ones, but I'm telling you,
00:20:27I perform every day, now 400 people
00:20:30in Jerusalem, you have everyone in the audience, of course it's not like
00:20:33politics, but you can make it
00:20:36work. And not from this weak message of unity, not in the sense of Benny Gantz,
00:20:40in the sense of real cooperation, and there are buyers for it.
00:20:44Tell me, do you need courage to express yourself politically here? You need
00:20:47to be a brave person as a people.
00:21:06And indeed, in the end, the people vote
00:21:09with their feet. You know, it could
00:21:13be that if now
00:21:16there's a presenter who voted for the other side of the '.
00:21:20Or let's say more towards that, then
00:21:23they will accept it rather than if he now says we don't
00:21:27sit with people who don't condemn, you know, who basically
00:21:30cannot say Hamas is a terrorist
00:21:34organization. But thank God we
00:21:37are in a place, we are in a place where right-wingers don't need to be afraid.
00:21:41You know, you sell your book not through social media, but through your audience. I
00:21:45sell my shows through the audience. We are in a place where we have direct access
00:21:48to the audience. Uh. I'm not afraid, I hope many others won't be afraid,
00:21:52but uh, but I think there's something here, so to conclude, if
00:21:55there's a cooperation or unity government, you're the first one to host an evening
00:21:59for everyone, right, left, you take it and do a stand-up for them.
00:22:02More than that, more than that, I'll tell you, put this clip
00:22:05in the report, on election day, I met
00:22:08Eisenkot, in Ramat Gan, we shook
00:22:12hands, I told him, if you
00:22:14form a government, you'll call me to laugh at you, like I did with the previous
00:22:18coalition, he says yes.
00:22:20I tell him, "Are you not afraid?" He says, "I'm not afraid." Please, so I'm
00:22:24saying, all politicians who want, I come to laugh at every
00:22:27government that will be formed, it doesn't matter, yes, so let's just laugh
00:22:30and let's laugh at everyone, Guy Ochman, thank you very much for
00:30:30From the other side, hello everyone. Here. The side of facts,
00:30:34and this week, the week after,
00:30:37after the elections, so on the side of facts,
00:30:41there's a lot of work, we started,
00:30:57gaps after the elections, it seems that the...
