BBC World Service - Newshour, Far-right Israeli ministers threaten to resign over Biden plan

Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich threaten to bring down Israeli government over deal

Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich threaten to bring down Israeli government if Netanyahu agrees to peace deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu risks losing power if he agrees to the latest deal on the table for a ceasefire in Gaza. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have threatened to bring down the government if Mr Netanyahu agrees to the deal. We speak to Hanoch Milwidsky, a member of the Knesset for Mr Netanyahu's Likud Party.

Also in the programme: China lands a probe on the unexplored, far side of the moon; and coalition talks begin in South Africa, with the African National Congress losing its outright majority in the elections.
