He is on trial for corruption. Today

talk to my colleague, Jerusalem bureau chiefs, Patrick kingsley, about one of the men. And Netanyahu's improbable return and why Israel is about to get the most right wing government in its history, the the It's thursday november seventeen. so Patrick Benjamin Netanyahu is about to be back in power, which is pretty surprising, given that he's onto for corruption and that when we last talked about him on the show he'd been voted out. So how in the world is he back?

Well. The answer to that question is linked to that very corruption, investigation that you mentioned and that corruption trial has a huge effect on israeli society. It split israeli society into between those who thought Netanyahu should leave office until the corruption trousers over and those who felt he should stay in office, because the trial was some kind of stitch up by the deep state and what corruption trial date. Was it split the israeli right in half between pro netanyahu right and the anti Netanyahu right. Reason why you left office was because enough of his former allies on the right teamed up with his old

enemies on the left to force him from power and after he was. Finally acid, is prime minister. Last year he kept plotting from the sidelines to get back in and because parts of the mainstream right had abandoned him, he had to go much further to the right to fine parties that would do business with him parties on the right. They were previously considered too far right to extreme to be part of his coalition and, as a result, he encouraged a series of very small right wing. Parties far I parties and extreme right parties to unify so that collectively day had a better chance of entering the israeli parliament at next election and in the process giving him a majority large enough to bring him back to power

That's exactly what happened earlier. This month there was an election. The coalition that baby had assembled with the far right. one, a narrow majority the majority was entitled and on these very hardline ultranationalists groups who joined with baby, as is known and, as a result, we are on the cusp of seeing the most right wing government that israel has ever had in its history. So let's talk about how we got here, who were the people behind these far right groups having the best way of our genetic question is to focus on one of the leaders of the far right alliance on whose support Netanyahu depend to form is next government, and that leader is a man called it a mob, Benghazi Its robbing aware is forty six. He is a lawyer and his

far. I alliance pulled the balance of power in the israeli parliament, Without that alliance, and without it being away with Netanyahu, has no majority Marvin Gaviria is considered one of the most extremist politicians in Israel c mon soda Let it We should limit, be now This will very soon by idle on election night It's my bengal. We stood up in front of his supporters at a sort of victory rally. Said bye, The time has come for us to be the landlords in our own country,

I'm by saying that he's implicitly positioning jewish israelis as the landlords in israel and the arab minority as their tenants and its true that talks vision that we can get a sense of the power dynamic that he seeks to uphold in today's is right and the journey the it's moving away has made. since his youth until this point from the extreme parts of israeli discourse, the fringe of his radius goes to the heart of mainstream politics in Israel is on some level the story of Israel's own over the past three decades and one that helps illustrate to some extent

Why many feel that the two state solution is now essentially dead and patrick? Where does that story begin set the stage for me? What were these really politics like at the time of his body. Let's go back to nineteen eighty eight, the year, Benjamin Netanyahu himself and frontline politics for the first time and in fact, got elected to parliament for the first time that was also the year that Netanyahu's own right wing party LE could effectively would bar from participation in parliament at extremist party. A radical alter, religious ultra nationalist party, who wanted to

segregate israeli society, street arab israelis of their citizenship and turn israel into some kind of theocratic state. He, and that was a party so extreme that the united states labelled it. A terrorist group. And so it is wrong and it I'm giving you was a member of his group and he was considered so extreme himself. In early ninety nineties Israeli army refused to accept him as a conscript, something that in jewish israeli society is Basically unheard of a large proportion of do she's really serve as conscripts when they turned eighteen, not it's moving away and for you It's my benghazi remains at the fringes of israeli discos ends israeli society. He gets him

in extreme right activism he's charged speech and simon to racism, support for a terrorist organisation and he gets convicted not all the time at some of the time for those charges, including for holding a lofty banner. Said. Arabs out, implying that you wanted to expel Israel's arab minority and he ends up moving from a town, just west of jerusalem inside the state of Israel. To a very hard line: settlements, deep in the occupied west bank and in a sign of where his mind was that he how a portrait in his living room of another extremists,

Man who gunned down, killed twenty nine palestinians as they worshiped in a mosque nearby settlement. Well, video of him in his living room. can see behind its to my on the wall of his home, a large pitcher of this jewish extremist behind him and the genesis after the eventual comeback. Music is: why have you got a pitcher of bird goldstein physics? he missed on your wool and when your son ass serious? What would you say and he defends It- We should simply and you'll, never villages. Little thing he says I tell my he's a righteous man he's a hera glass, a pig

you're a mass murderer hanging on his wall, exciting symmetric. What's the next chapter in been veer story? Well around that time in the early nineties, theirs is of departing agreements between the israelis and the pound things notice, the oslo accords, which at the time created the sense that Israel and the palestinians were on the cusp of some kind of historic peace deal so also actually began, just as I was graduating from college I remember it really clearly because there was always hopefulness. About peace in the middle east, and you know I just felt like this was a real gain, changing moment and effectively. What happened, if I remember correctly, was that Israel withdrew from a bunch of palestinian areas and in basically gave palestinians

limited autonomy over themselves and then in nineteen. Ninety four- I remember yitzhak Rabin, the israeli prime minister, at the time Actually won the nobel peace prize together with other leaders that had brokered the agreement, so that was real kind of indication of just how hopeful everybody was right. Did never before. Never since has there the time when it felt like peace was so close and yet swimming against that flow. Was it my being of Hmm There was this incident where the car of one and we re just mentioned- yitzhak rabin, the israeli prime minister, who's driving the peace process was vandalized, far right. Extremists got to his car ripped a piece of it off the emblem of the car.

at some point in the aftermath of this act of vandalism against were beans car it's amazing of, is filmed holding the emblem of the car seven. The signature name rapidly wanted to to seven seminal seminal. Then some emotion, emotional breakdown, with a similar in talking to a news to a battle that active. that is in, and he said it just as we got to this emblem. Only abandon we'll get to remain. The situation in ireland was said, william, fail to come. We will submit led shell assaults muscle and less than a month later, european was assassinated. Is no question of whether a bank of it was involved in an assassination. There have been linked to it, but the fact that several weeks before his assassination, he was talking approvingly about the vandalism of Rabin's car just shows

where, on the political spectrum, it's moving away was at that point it in time in the middle of the peace process, interesting, how long disband view go on like this I mean, as this hard core political radical like how long is he on the periphery? We stays there for about two decades, two and a half decades, but what happens? the course of that time is a gradually works out how to play the system without necessarily changing himself. He changes the way that he plays and in twenty twelve he becomes a lawyer and he goes from being someone that is always in court as defendant to being someone who's in court as a lawyer, defending other radicals, other people accused of violence and extremism and even becomes very accomplished defending

israelis who are accused of attacking palestinians, for example, so maybe not really changing his ideology. It sounds like, but just kind of finding avenues to express it in a way that sounds more socially acceptable. Yes, exactly, he starts to on more traditional mainstream roles that gradually give him a veneer of respect of it. He becomes a parliamentary assistants to a far I politician. He joins that politicians, political party. It becomes a leader of the policy Yet even his reason is three years ago, he was still very much on the fringe of his right. Discourse is still very much an isolated player within israeli politics. He runs a parliament, but he can't get elected his party corrupt crossed the threshold needed to into parliament, and that remains the case.

Until the beginning of last year, when a sequence of events occur, the radically change the fate and trajectory of its mapping, the bear and says I sense that suggestion of today's is wrong. Ok back.

We left off you tell me, the bank of your came from the radical periphery into his really politics, but is party, was tiny, did really carry much weight and you said it: Things happened at the beginning of last year, the changed all of that. So what happened? Well, the first thing that happened, was the benjamin Netanyahu started, laying the groundwork that would ultimately result in the new far right. Relation that we see today even before he was I'll sit from power last year and because he did that It's amazing to veer has passed,

this new alive. So far I parties was elected finally to parliament in march twenty twenty one and that development men, the benghazi, was catapulted into the israeli mainstream discourse suddenly he was a nor make and an only lawmaker, but a lawmaker with effectively a cautious difficult from the sitting. Prime minister of the Benjamin Netanyahu and Patrick. What does he do without platform? Oh, he uses that platform to take advantage of a second pivotal shift. Heard about a month and a half after he was elected to parliament. Thank you

boiling over in Jerusalem. After more than a week of nightly clashes, hundreds of palestinians protested the closing of a space in front of the damascus gate, while the jewish extremists marched elsewhere. Shouting death to arabs, police in April Twenty one there was a bout of unrest giving in jerusalem that it gaviria, is able to capitalize on israeli police or a gang. I with palestinians, as the threat of possible eviction, stirs already high intentions. There was a series of planned evictions of, the citizens living in east jerusalem and had long been sought by settling groups, groups that promote the interests of israelis, who sat alone occupied territory and the timing of it supports the centres ashes to this neighborhood of east jerusalem,

sets up a makeshift office. Is the sheer factor. He's lawmaker has some element of parliamentary. provision protection? bring greater numbers of policemen to the neighbourhood to protect his I'm told office, which is really just attained by being gay rejoiced greatly two situation. He helped stoke the temperature It's a far right israeli mp in the center of my life palestinians are very unhappy about the settlement of the street, debated spain for many years. It just takes a summit things ignite and that whole situation is one of the contributing factors that to be eleven. They war in Gaza. Last may.

And thou war was something that then triggered widespread unrest and rising and clashes between arab citizens of Israel and Israel's jewish citizens. In several cities, where there is a mixed, arab jewish population, but violence is not that rare thing in Israel. in the palestinian territories rate, I mean what was it about this? It was different. What was unsettling about this set of rights for both Jews arabs in his room, was that it was violence between large numbers of citizens of Israel, this wasn't attacks by palestinians and israelis or israeli settlers olympus, students in the west bank. This was within this. israel between jury, citizens of the state and arab citizens of a state, I see, and it created a dynamic in which our citizens fell.

Five, but, more importantly, for it's mother and career. Jewish israelis felt terrified and unsettled and they grew quickly to see or someone did. It's him up and give here as some kind of protection. With someone who understood their sense of insecurity and instability that the riots caused So this is a man who spends his whole political career, really tapping. Into the anxieties that some jewel we really have about: sharing society with arab israelis Any comes into parliament at this very critical moment? That's bad for jewish arab relations, but it sounds like pretty good for his political career, his platform, really to speak to exactly what's going on in israel at this moment right exactly this freely, among bank of is growing base if support is just deepens after these rights

Benjamin Netanyahu is ousted from power over the summer and is replaced by governing coalition. That included for the first time ever in his ready history. Independent arab party now to be clear: some israelis and palestinians, many of them. So this is a big step forward. It suggested that there was a possibility for a shared existence between Jews and arabs. Pass. It enraged some right wing, jewish israelis, who believe that having our party in government made the government less able to react to security threats, and maybe I'm just a more extensive level. somehow eroded the jewish character of the jewish state and those people

by their very own, words were more interested in living. Amo interest living in a jewish state than in a democratic state and that is a fear- is an anxiety. The Benghazi was able to successfully tapping to over the last year and a half which of course brings us up to today to this new, very rightly I commend the exactly think of it has used or that to build his profile, create a sense that he more than ever is needed for Israel's future and when the common collapses, kick starting election campaign. He was in a position not just scraping to parliament but to return as part of ice intend far I ally's, without whom messenger, who could not form a coalition government and that's exactly what came to pass on november,

and where does disband veer fit into this new government? What is really going to be well Maybe it's far alliance, one fourteen seats in this election, making it the second largest in Netanyahu's, look after that near his own party, and that means being of it is in a very good position to demand the position that he wants in government, which is to be the minister who oversees the police and that, if he successful, will give him extraordinary powers over many of the fresh points. that led to a rise in tensions, imbalance between israelis and palestinians and complete a remarkable turn around four,

a man who began his out of life as someone deemed to extreme to play even a lowly role in the israelis. de hierarchy, but who now as an arrow lawmaker, will play one of the top two leadership roles within Israel's security apparatus? Patrick this doesn't sound good for arab israelis, I mean this is a person whose wanted to put his finger on the scale for a long time and actually potentially running the police sounds like it would probably be pretty alarming to them. What are they saying? What is this hold in store for them? You hid two main points coming from his rose, our minority rights palestinian minority, The first is that this guy really doesn't represent that much of a departure from israeli policies and it is produced is that this will finally show

the world. Israel's true face- I'm reveal a policy that they believe has. Ways been lie not far from the surface in the israeli government. Now many israelis with this that characterization, but that is nevertheless something that palestinians have said, often in recent days and weeks, but the second more common reaction is one of fear and terror. This is a guy who, on election night, stood up and said it's no time for us there is his right is to become the landlords here and if you remember minorities well, you know very much that the powder- and I make that that suggests- and it suggests nothing good for you, Patrick. I guess

jane, after all of this is what does this actually say about israeli society? I mean: is this more just a weird accident of history like a guy who is in the right place at the right time, meets and opportunistic netanyahu or Is this really a reflection of israeli society and how its changed will? First, what I want to avoid any sweeping reservations about israel about israelis about it and who is rallies are, but I think we can say is that bank of is ride to the cusp of government from a position of obscure see and the fringes of israeli society in some way tracks a wide movement within israeli society towards. the right that we ve seen over the last three decades in the early two thousands polling show,

that was majority support for a two state solution. An end to the israeli palestinian conflict within jewish israeli society and the product of the last. two decades in a rise in violence following the oslo process, led some israelis to conclude dies. Peace was no an option that they had no part of a peace among the palestinians and that engaging in peace negotiations would only lead ultimately to more violence and whether that's right or wrong, that has definitely become the dominant narrative among mainstream israelis to the extended. The palestinian question is barely a feature of election campaigns in Israel

he was effectively going again, the grain of mainstream israeli society back then, but several decades of disappointments frustrations have passed and now it's not as the necessarily he's pushing completely on an open door, but he's entering at a time when his ideas are kind of rowing in the same direction as the main stream in Israel, like still extreme, but not as discordant. Have you the day his by those before both in the line tonight is barely got one percent of the votes,

at that time. Today, it's my anger is party one more than ten percent of the vote. It's it's not fifty bitter about, but it speaks to some kind of profound shift within israeli society and discourse and even if Benghazi himself were to leave the political stage tomorrow at some point in the next few years, he has managed, in the space of eighteen months, to injects ideas that were previously considered it beyond the pale into the israeli body pollen

dick and that something that is really will have to reckon with before used to come. Patrick, like you, thanks for having me will be re back.
