This is

is CBS. I in the world. I'm John Bachelor. I welcome Jonathan Schanser, the Senior Vice President of the Foundation for Defense of democracies.

He briefs three or four or five times a week, whatever is necessary in the morning, and I recommend

it because it is a walk- through the crisis in the Middle East not just

here or there and we're going to do what we can this morning to attend to the big

story in Jerusalem. It's not war fighting, it's not sin-mar, it's not pursuit of Hezbollah, it's the cabinet,

and new names to me need to be understood and the politics of the caneset which is always

an add and subtract game is before us again.

Jonathan a very good day to you.

His name is Gideon Sarr, a member of the Caneset.

He wears horn-rimmed glasses.

He has gray hair whitening. He looks to be in his 50s and he leads a party called New Hope.

There are four of them. However, he's in the headlines right now this way. If he joins, SAR could get veto over judicial overhaul, choice of IDF chief, and joining would mean that he would replace the defense minister Galant of the coup, a man who has strong opinions and has been speaking about, for example, the diplomatic solution to Lebanon the time is running out very very

aggressive please help me understand this cabinet backstabbing good evening to you

good evening John I think the first backstabbing. Good evening to you.

Good evening, John. I think the first thing to note here is that of course Israel has been at war with itself.

Long before the war erupted on October 7th. There has been really deep disagreement

about certain political issues, namely judicial reform

or judicial overhaul.

That was going on for nearly a year before the October 7th attack.

Gidonsar is a former member of the Likud party, the ruling party,

Benjamin Netanyahu's party.
