Welcome to the Empire Files podcast. This is Abby Martin. Normally these podcasts are only for patrons,

but in light of the recent attacks on Palestine, we decided to publish ours on the topic for free.

Recently, we talked to Miko Pied in Jerusalem, prominent Israeli anti-Zionist activist about the climate in Israel in the wake of

the ceasefire with Gaza. He's joining me again to give fascinating insight about the coalition

government trying to oust Netanyahu and what it all means for Palestine. If you like what you

hear, please consider becoming a patron to make this work possible at patreon.com slash empire files. Thanks.

Miko, thank you so much for joining me again on the Empire Files podcast.

It's an absolute pleasure. Thank you for inviting me, Abby.

So this weekend, we will know whether or not Netanyahu will be ousted from his role as prime minister.

Talk briefly about what has to happen to see him removed from office.

Well, to begin with, there's going to be a vote in the Knesset on Sunday,

or at least there's a vote planned to take place.

And this hodgepodge patchwork

of a coalition has to get

61 votes

in order to be

approved, something that it's

not clear yet that they actually have.

And so if they get

61 votes, that means

they have a government.

And that means Netanyahu will have to leave his residence and the office of the prime minister.
