Report: IDF chief pushes back on Netanyahu's order • FRANCE 24 English

The agenda moved on. FRANCE 24 English's largest new upload came before Israel's election, but its most active video now looks at what happens after the vote.

The pre-election report on a reported disagreement between Benjamin Netanyahu and military chief Eyal Zamir passed half a million views. Correspondent Noga Tarnopolsky explained Israeli media reports that Zamir wanted written authorization and legal advice before military maneuvers concerning Iran. Netanyahu denied a confrontation, a distinction the broadcast made clear.

By Friday, the coverage had shifted to coalition negotiations. Former prime minister Ehud Barak told FRANCE 24 that Netanyahu had "lost dramatically" and urged Gadi Eisenkot to work with Arab parties. That interview now has the strongest daily viewing momentum among the channel's uploads. International Affairs Editor Philip Turle supplied another route into the story, explaining the difficult negotiations following the loss of Netanyahu's parliamentary majority.

Beyond Israel, the report on Christine Lagarde's planned early departure from the European Central Bank drew a substantial audience. Her stated wish for more freedom to speak beyond monetary policy gave the business coverage a political dimension, alongside reporting on TotalEnergies' profits and household energy bills.

Across 44 uploads, the channel collected nearly ten million views over the week, with subscribers unchanged. Daily viewing is running well above its usual level. Its weekly total sits close to those of Reuters and Channel 4 News: a busy broadcasting week in which the channel's Israel coverage moved from warnings before the ballot to the practical problem of forming a government.
