[0:01] the situation despite the expressions of
[0:04] desire for peace now. Uh and and and I
[0:07] think it will enhance the prospects for
[0:08] a deal with the Assyrians for example,
[0:10] but that will in turn make politics
[0:12] within Israel that much more dangerous.
[0:13] >> That's an interesting point. But but but
[0:15] you you say metaphorically a civil war.
[0:17] I mean I there there are some people who
[0:19] think that this could actually erupt
[0:20] into a real civil war. You agree with
[0:22] that?
[0:23] >> No. But uh but Rabin was taking Israel
[0:26] on a on a course that half the country
[0:29] thought was disastrous, dangerous,
[0:31] misbegotten um on the slimmest of
[0:34] majorities. And Perez, who is the new
[0:37] prime minister, has never been able to
[0:38] win a nationwide election in Israel's

[0:42] trusted. And he has his advantage now as
[0:45] prime minister, of course, is that he
[0:46] now has a martyr. and the the martyrdom
[0:49] of Rabbine will probably at least in the
[0:51] short run bring the country together and
[0:53] give a boost to the peace process that
[0:55] was Rabin's legacy. But it is it is
[0:58] still going to be a question whether
[0:59] Perez is the man who can be trusted to
[1:02] deal with the Arabs. He is known as a
[1:04] softliner. He is known as somebody who
[1:06] wants to capitulate on every important
[1:08] issue. Yeah, it was interesting was in
[1:10] reading all about this this morning, I
[1:11] had to be reminded or informed, I'm not
[1:13] sure which, that about the vote in the
[1:15] Knesset, which was about just a couple
[1:16] of votes by which the peace process uh
[1:19] by which a piece of court passed. So
[1:21] there's a pretty d
