a unity government means one composed of dances blue and white party and the likud of benjamin netanyahu the new who blamed gantz for frustrating his efforts to do the same thing ever since he was given the mandate last month now the roles are reversed but the same obstructions bar the way blue white says it won't sit in unity government led by a man and you know he's facing indictment in 3 separate corruption cases netanyahu is refusing to step down or to go 2nd in a potential rotational prime minister deal he's seen as having a better chance of fighting off those charges from the prime minister's office and there's no reason yet for the stalemate to break. another option for gantz a minority government with external support from members of the mainly palestinian israeli joint list that would be fraught with political risk even if there was the will to give it up by so far gantz isn't willing to do so. benny gantz has another path failure and the upside down of israeli politics it could just lead to success

a year but of course you can follow all of those stories on our website at al-jazeera dot com i'll be back with more news in half an hour here on al-jazeera next it's inside story. russia and turkey agreed to push kurdish forces out of the north east syria after u.s. brokered cease fire expired but as washington post back is russia becoming the region's new power broker and what are the implications for the wind middle east this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program. russian took it out on opposite sides of the war in syria moscow backs the syrian president while i support opposition rebels who want to remove the shuttle whether to science have been working more closely in recent months by some is to police have started patrols in northeast syria as part of a new deal with turkey on tuesday president vladimir putin and was a little and gave kurdish fighters 6 days to put back from the syrian turkish border they have breached the agreement just before the end of the u.s. brokered cease fire that's whole to turkey's military offensive in the region unclear consider the kurdish fighters to be terrorists and wants them out so it can create the so-called safe zone for syrian refugees to return. what occurred i

examined by removing threats posed by the terrorist organization this operation in syria guaranteed syria's territorial integrity and political unity we never had eyes on the country's territory and sovereignty as turkey all steps we are taking in the field we have taken with sensitivity and a delay in this book we still today we share turkey's concern about the growing threats of terrorism and the growth of ethnic tensions in the region the east tensions and the separatist mood in recent times where in our opinion artificially created by outsiders so let's look at how moscow has been expanding its influence in syria and the middle east in 2015 its sent troops to syria in support of president bashar assad 2 years later russia began talks aimed at resolving the conflict sidelining the us moscow sale of its ass $400.00 missile defense system to turkey has also angered washington and driven

a wedge between the 2 nato allies and there's russia's recent alliance with saudi arabia earlier this month president vladimir putin made his 1st official visit to the kingdom in over a decade. let's introduce our panel on skype in. turkey near the syrian border use of. a retired colonel of the turkish armed forces in moscow pavel felgenhauer a defense and military analyst and also on skype from oxford in the u.k. somewhere romani a researcher at oxford university a member of the discussion club a moscow based think tank and discussion forum welcome to you or. yourself how do you see the new agreement between. don and vladimir putin is it a continuation of what they have achieved in the past over syria particularly in

the northern part of the country. person 13 and turkey is also a continue nation if the agreement or deal has been signed between united states and turkey that means that the united states and russia board are very there but the concern sort of turkey about it is security concerns and the refugee concern so it has been proved by the united states and they talk to the white b.g. forces the was out because turkey has legit to make concerns about the security and yesterday it has also been approved by the mosque or that turkey has legit the mint concerns or security so the y.p. g. forces should move to the south and never pass that through out to the turkish border security a golden opportunity puff of the should be for the russians they have been expanding their influence except for the northeastern part over of syria and

suddenly when the america's ports are this they saw the opening and they saw their porch in it and decided to take action. well yes this is a great opportunity and a lot has been already achieved russia's trying to be allied or have very good relations at the same time with turkey and with the white b.g. . the americans tried to do that and but they failed miserably and now they have bad relations with the y p g and better way sions with turkey at the same time so it's a kind of 0 sum game american rules this russia gains and that's a very important thing because it changes actually the balance though arch extent in the region with washington and what prompted talking about withdrawing that only from syria but most likely from other places 'd and russia is trying to fill in the

boots some well is this a win win situation for both turkey and russia or do you think the other watches and making most of the gains from this agreement. i think that compared to the u.s. east fire that was last week i think that turkey is in a weaker position now with the russian agreement why because they're confined now to in terms of territorial expansion they only have 120 kilometer why thieves down 440 kilometers they can add before and diligence they can be she and some other areas are no longer part of the turkish your insights so i think that russia basically knowledge that the y.p. you were security threat to turkey which is not something outside of their previous policy because it supported the operation olive branch offensive against the french in january 2018 a change for turkey recognizing the presence of syrian government forces patrolling their border effectively turkey is partially recognizing as rigidity in that area

so i think that overall if last territorial reach last prospects for expansion and they now have to work with the side which isn't something that's very good for him to answer is not use of do you see this agreement as the only last chance given for turkey because initially somewhere was basically saying they were saying they would further expand their more military operation now they are confined to a particular area they're not going to go to kill bonny they're not going to be able to go to members and what kind of impact will it have on national security for turkey in the future. suppression has started this impact after turkey turkey has 2 goals political goals none of the military operations are conducted to be thought said think appalled gogol luckless the turkey's particular goal is to keep white b.g. porcelains 30 kilometers south of its border sort this particular gal vill be

completed bill be achieved with a agreement which has been done with the russia so i don't agree with my counterpart who says that turkey is controlling less area or less territory than it is compared to beat it is a grim and united states but let's remember that turkey has not intention to conquer your uncontrolled lands turkey has an intention to clear 30 kilometers off the security zone from all kind of by p. g. forces so if you take a look at from this perspective that turkey is particle goal has already been established has already been achieved if by p.g. forces be true at all it is forced to 30 kilometers to the sub so i ever only 8 and analysts disagree ation a cording to do not military goals and targets but the political goals are goods as you know mr advani address at the united nations also address that that he said

that 35 kilometers or 30 kilometers should be free from all kind of terrorist groups so that you take a look at from this perspective turkey achieved it is goal puddle but don't just say that this new agreement or something that could pose enormous challenges for russia in the near future because they will have to deal with the turks with the. with the. assad in and of assisting political landscape. yes that will require a lot of skill in performing inside syria bank we the russian leadership the russian military there believe that they can manage it there's as a great opportunity to push the americans out to get control of important areas and what has not yet been decided and apparently was not decided in such here at least we don't know it was not maybe but it's not in the published memorandum is

where there's go the control of the syrian oil fields the very important strategically important syrian oil fields that were under american kurdish control in the north of the euphrates and which russia very much wanted to take control of not for itself not that we need more oil but for the syrian government per se because that would give them a source of income that they don't have and that would also help iran that was mostly financing the assad government because now they're also very short on currency free currency because of the american sanctions so right now it's not clear who's going to control the oil fields and barrels or and in the other parts of the former kurdish rajab. some well i mean from a took his perspective the c.f.l. the wanted out of existence a threat to the national security a myth that perspective do you have any concerns that the potential for

a confrontation in that area to rika and it's time soon is that. i think it depends obviously on how the evacuation takes place i think that certainly after the operation 3 spring there after the tramp cardio there were some syrian kurdish leaders who were talking openly about northern syria as our homeland we had control long border syria we have had the right to autonomy here and we have seen our time i mean our susan g. taking away from us by the international community by russia the united states and especially by turkey's military and so as long as those kurdish nationalist autonomy girls still persist i did see the kurds bring up some resistance but it appears that for now the syrian kurds have complied with the regulations that were sleeping at it if we draw they're on the process of withdrawing from that you're trying to sell i think that an immediate confrontation is not likely but in the long term as long as there's national them there and there's distrust of the

americans russians or turks are regime time. in northern syria it's certainly possible in the months to come use of what's the endgame for turkey here is it just to establish this safe corridor or to prevent stiff fighters from being closer to the border or do you think it's the beginning of a new phase where the turks will. create the more more than 4000000 syrian refugees back into the villages or into the north is a part of the of syria ok as i said before that turkey has to cold goals 'd one of them is to secure their area the other one is that it is dealing with more than $3600000.00 refugees inside its country giving them how schools all kind of facilities and spent billions of dollars from on the it's on budget for this isn't turkey wants them to return back to the a secure song on free veal if turkey can achieve not all of them but maybe in the

1st phase 1000000000 in the 2nd phase is the 2000000 for this reason the game now is starting very different. striation that turkey will try to resettle almost 2000000 refugees to these secure area because that bank you take a look at to the international community no one cares about what is going on inside to care in terms of refugee crisis for this reason the turkey has to paul to go goals and the 2nd phase probably be in start not sooner than in 6 months because turkey will 1st prepare those territory in order to enable for eg good life like in the case of us as jobless and in the other parts of our feed in the other parts of the parts of the african area for example schools are operating hospitals are caring giving people have to care for this isn't that

should be lots to done the other issue that if the p.k. k. and by p. g. forces go to the south of these area probably it will also got on to the territorial integrity off to syria because by p.g. was the biggest trap together of the united states to the territorial integrity off to syria ok. reporting syrian refugees don't you see this as a more of a political issue that will have to involve both the russians and the syrian government of the end of the day. creating such as own that's going to be a housing quite a big number of syrian refugees that ran from the war but many of them ran from syria because they don't like i said and there's going to be of course the free syrian army that was the spearhead of the turkish invasion forces moving into northern syria and will stay in control the same area so that's kind of

creating an ante asaad zone of a lot of there's going to be a big population and. and there is going to be armed forces on the ass of the acid won't like it of course damascus won't like it for russia maybe it's a bit of a different issue because russian perspective is much more wide there it's the entire region the standoff with the united states globally we're in this standoff maybe turkey is more important than that is that if turkey can be pulled further away from nato and from america of course there's also a role for the y.p. g. to play with which russia has a very warm established relationship with the java has an embassy actually in moscow de facto for some years so this is going to be a very complicated put a there in not only involving the northern part of syria the former rajab ok though

so all of syria i see a point where russia will be minding its own business primarily some well as the americas are putting do you see now that and the russians most likely the to keep by as who are going to shape the future of syria with or without a political agreement i think that yes version turkey has now ensconced to actors and he will be in control who are going to another part of the very base of course iran actually more broadly as influencing some. in syria but he ran it cleverly them to detach itself from the core conflict over here so it criticise turkey and act it's not really necessary getting involved the mess it has been silent on it led largely april so now the other area where this will be resolved internally to the us and a suspect over the course of a 6 hour meeting it was likely discussed well. if the russians are knowledge might be easy gerty threat they will expect turkey to make similar compromises on. and

that has a couple of problems 1st of all turkey basically want to see that city to us not and secondly does turkey have been friends or e.t.s. now the rebel groups that russia believes that hats i think the answer to both of those questions are unclear and turkish influence over the rebel groups certainly as in less than advertiser asked year you know the locust from northern syria it led the anchor agreement in secret in your own research into areas are the key areas and russia and your central in both of those areas use of it's really interesting what's happening in turkey for decades is spit on what's than acquiring weapons may live from the us now things seem to be quite changing they're doing business with russia's charting a new tattoo of the russians acquiring a 400 from the russians are trying to redefine the. basic orientations of the turkish state. actually to tell the truth the west is

redefining it as border to speak to turkey to relations with the turkey because turkey has also or or for tonight states that he wants to buy an air defense missile system from the united states but united states congress for years didn't provide all got or he is a nato ally and also you know that if you talk july that happens that crew at camp inside turkey and that main suspect all these crew especially is living inside the united states for this reason you know it states especially for stuart key to buy air defense months from the russia the 2nd issue is that although in the september 11th attacks turkey was the 1st country to accept that united states all for the global war on terror and san carson saw fit to stroup sound lost its soldiers inside afghanistan together with united states after the cold war b. s. turkey to tell the truth are mostly didn't see any collaboration and coordination

with the united states just on the contrary to that united states sent hundreds of pardons of trucks full of ammunition full of that one systems and complicated weapons systems now the turkish you know the force was not used struggling inside the residence or soft rustle line and columbia in order to. explore the dam and weapon systems came from united states to the turkish border we know it very well for this year isn't to say that ad is trying to reshape the turkey's foreign policy in line with russia does not reflect the real picture of the situation i said vast asked mr avlon to reshape your relation in between russia some. puddle we've seen the russians at the same time further testing new territories saudi arabia the u.a.e. were putting made a visit recently is he trying to build

a new partnership with countries that were for many many decades traditional allies of the us. world the just the russian follett they oppose political game in the middle east is that pressure has a great advantage that it can speak and has a working or a way shin ships with everyone we speak and have good relations with iran and israel at the same time with turkey and. saudi arabia and egypt at the same time with turkey and their way p.g. at the same time so russia at that puts russian a very unique situation they were a position to be a broker that can speak to everyone and also that has assets on the ground and capabilities on the ground that make it just not also a broker but also a power broker there and that gives russia more weight than its overall

military and the konami keep ability should actually there rife so that's a yes that and that's working out that's a very smart policy strategy that russia is running in the middle east while the united states doesn't seem to have any kind of strategy worth talking about it all somewhat it could be the lot of capabilities i see your point some well as puddle said this is a smart move from the russians bus. given the fact that russia does not have the financial might that the west and the americans in particular have done just see this as a gamble there could backfire in the future i think that russia is not to replace the united states and the influence of our in the middle east or in the security guarantee or orders even economic responsible reasoners their investments in development of china's human and yet russia is in direct competition with the u.s. and china after disgusting u.s. attorney but i think it's completely baseless i think what we're moving towards is

the tribal interest with varying degrees of responsibility us being the primary security and her china being the primary economic can't development can guarantee an investor and russia being the diplomat that can navigate the conflicting interests of our times i think if russia sticks to that's where it can be very successful of course we can didn't want to marry that. with higher power and likely after ally an external capitals organizer in reconstruction after. china and some others back in diplomatic rock talking are not it has the potential to be uniquely successful and you serve if the russians decide in the future to step in trying to mend fences between turkey syria turkey saudi arabia turkey and the u.a.e. is that fine from a turkish perspective i think i can say that turkey is in the region has for more than 1000 years and he is neighboring facing forward to divest for more than again

want doesn't here so i don't say that turkey bill turning to face to russia turn its face to us turkey is towards the space and building care policy in the relationship with the best but the same time in the relation with russia but at the same time we thought not up in relation with all kind of asian countries and middle east thank you that does not mean that there is turning its face completely due to the russia but after the cold war you know that there are many different things that are worse emerging or on a limb as this question to puzzle no with with the russians. interesting the opec plus back 2016 with saudi arabia where they have become very crucial in. controlling the output of oil and the russian using and as you to replace the americans in the middle east. well russia
