the ground strategy for the palestinians and one of your articles you suggested that if you were a palestinian you would to build on all the palestinian owned land in area c. you would deploy old bulldozers in the west bank to open every road that israel has closed and you recognize that this is going to perhaps bring things to a boiling point what makes you believe that anything good may come out of this i think the key is whether or not the palestinians could couldn't here to a nonviolent popular resistance struggle if they resort to violence and throwing stones in my view is violent as well but you could have a nonviolent struggle where i said if i were a palestinian i would seek to have myself and all of my friends and my family of leaders at the local level of the national level be arrested by israel what you need to do is hold a mirror up to the israeli people and say this is what you're creating this is the reality on the ground we're not using violence we will not cooperate with the occupation any more we want our independence we want our statehood we want to live in. but we will not b

many palestinians to believe the real purpose of the war is. that we are going into two thousand one hundred fifty because of it was. not not there to limit the expansion because that is the freedom according to them that in the two thousand and twenty. would be sixty person so by the wall he said that he's going to assure the thirty percent. the wall is basically. we don't want to see the palestinians it's a psychological barrier. it's actually a two state solution but the way i want. to get rid of the. many. inside. and to give the israelis the feeling that if the palestinians within. says no longer. expanding the future good life would be impossible and. there would no development so they were forced to leave. by themselves it means voluntarily. determined to hang on. is surrounded by the war. why because it. it's right next to an israeli settlement. and he is adamant he won't be giving up. what about a problem he. had been the one. with in can he. had to do for you had to do it. because for jihad if a. woman had looked at. one of the. like

in the in the case of the palestinians that you began . your clip with over the course of the last year the trumpet ministration there's been a lot of bumbling and fumbling on the administration they went ahead and move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem without getting anything from israel causing a reaction from the palestinians and now apparently the president's trying to punish the palestinians for their reaction to that that's really a case where the u.s. needs to have a clear overall strategy on the other hand with pakistan the u.s. does have a clear overall strategy there was a very exhaustive national security process that resulted in a speech to the nation by president trump in august where he laid out a very clear policy towards pakistan and afghanistan and he said then that pakistan needed to do more if it wanted to continue its relationship the united states he sent the secretary of state and secretary of defense there over the last several months but so far pakistan hasn't done anything and it's not just the united states that is c

you what the palestinian cause. was and your if your for arab nations. just why is it not worth then to go all out to make their brothers in pakistan. ever very very. poor we have an occupying. force. kicking people out of their rightful home and instead of standing up with it then i'm saying we are. there to washington please please put me in a position of power ok. let's forget nicholai head do you believe with what sammy is saying that the palestinian issue amongst the arabs in the arab region has become a side issue well i agree with much of what was just said that right now i think we're seeing certain governments in the middle east courting trump and being courted by trump and it is about survival we should remember that the middle east today is not the same as the release of thirty forty years ago i think that many governments in the middle east are seizing more immediate challenges in their mind it's about staying in power so they care about for example what will happen with that on what will happen with the blockade what about the protests for e

should make any future aid payments to palestinians when the u.s. gets no appreciation the palestine liberation organization was quick to condemn his latest that twitter warning. i would say that palestinian diets are not for sale and we will not succumb to the acme that imperatives and requirements for peace and unilaterally president campaigns this story done it has a very sabotaged out efforts at that evening and just peace and getting freedom and dignity for the palestinian people by that can i sing occupy jerusalem as the capital of israel he has not done it disqualified himself as a peace real or a mediator by taking sides and by becoming complicit and has as occupation he has also built in the sabotage ts totally destroyed the very foundations of peace either from the palestinian liberation authority meanwhile israel has welcomed the trans statements as it in trump is absolutely right it is impossible to wait and wait and wait for so many years for the palestinians to go forward in renewed a negotiation they left the room in april fourteenth

by palestinian members of the israeli parliament the knesset was the controversial u.s. decision late last year to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital something again praised by prime minister netanyahu this is the door. before the heart to work for generations to come we took jerusalem. off the table so we don't talk about they never got past seriously we took it off the. top of the truck. was one of your give actual points later on the negotiation if it ever takes place i don't know that it ever will take place that seems to be a complete misreading of the situation the president is suggesting that he's removing the stumbling block of jerusalem from the negotiations in fact most believe he's making it an even more divisive issue previous us administrations knew the recognition card was one they needed to keep and not use to maintain leverage with the israelis a two state solution requires pressure on the israelis to give up illegal settlements they built on land that should form a palestinian nation great honor to be from the trumpet ministration israel seems to ge

would a palestinian state be viable? that's a question we should ask if our policy is going to be support to support palestinian statehood. think about this experiment. let's assume you create a palestinian state and counter factually there is no security problem. there is no security problem. no terrorism. it has been removed from the face of the earth. the palestinian state that you have thus created has no port. it has no air port, it has no currency, it has no natural resources. it has no productive economy. so i would think that the logic would be that that entity is going to be tied to, you might israely fall upon, admit or jordan for survival. and the logic of it, i think is the logic that existed decades ago, it makes more sense for it to be related to or in the form f a relationship with an arab- muslim-sunni state than a jewish state. the logic. the major city you turn to is amman. people say it's unrealistic, unrealistic today. i don't think it's so easy to say it is unrealistic 10 years from now. the jordania

this is palestinian ground zero . in two thousand and two days really army try to take hold of this camp and then they've decided to enter the city by first using the nine bulldozers. the way they did it really is a kind of a design by destruction off the can. they cut literally new streets through the dense urban fabric in order to allow the tanks to come in. the resistance retreated into the core of the camp and at the end of the battle effectively the bull. those is collapsed the heart of the camp on those on those fighters. i know. it was in the first times israel used bulldozers but it's the first time that the bullets were integrated into the battlefield. the fleet of bulldozers rew exponentially and the bulldozers become really the means of israeli fighting in palestinian urban fabric. the april two thousand and two attack on janine and the blues was the poor tree for the go s to think about the urban warfare in iraq and also training in the israeli training sides of welcome cities that were built in the in the

administration tries to mediate between the israelis and the palestinians how big of a problem is the mediation itself well to discuss that i'm now joined by guests in boston founder and cochairman of the israel palestine creative riginal initiative mr buskin thank you very much for your time it's great to have you on the show thank you now i know that you've advised many israeli palestinian international leaders on the middle east peace process and now that. the u.s. vice president mike pouncey has arrived to the region trying to restart this negotiating process once again i wonder if there is any advise that you would give him. advice i would do for vice president. and in fact i wrote to president trump on the first day of his ministration is that after so many years of negotiations the israelis and the palestinians need to know that they need to resolve this problem themselves they need to sit in the room by themselves and house out an agreement. states needs to. form the israelis and the palestinians that they will be there to help if required to provide bridging proposals to rais

palestinian leaders say they won't be blackmailed off the u.s. president donald trump threaten to cut aid with iran three courses of a billion dollars a year tom made the statement on twitter claiming palestinians for refusing to engage in middle east peace talks relations with the u.s. have plummeted since trump recognized jerusalem as israel's cop. last month the cuts threaten money allocated to the palestinian authority most u.s. funding goes on development and infrastructure projects and not directly to the see itself also griscom its funding to the united nations relief and works agency or which assists palestinian refugees the u.s. is its largest donor both measures if they go ahead with cuts around seven hundred sixty five million dollars a year in aid to the palestinians reports now from the city of ramallah in the occupied west bank. a mother of three palestinian refugee children a routine trip to the doctor was already riddled with complications. but after hearing the u.s. may decide to cut more than three hundred million dollars of ann

people would be to have been brutalized for over fifty years of occupation the palestinians now have to show their world they want to come to the table as of now they're not coming to the table but they ask for aid we're not giving aid we're going to make sure that they come to the table and we want to move forward with the peace process well it seems the u.s. supports peaceful protests against enemy governments and dismisses peaceful protests against allied governments as militant but i guess consistency isn't washington strong suit. author and former advisor to iran's nuclear negotiation team gave us he's thoughts on who might be behind the protest. one wonders what is the nature of the clandestine cia and. operations to foment. trouble inside iraq you know some of these disturbances have been in the kurdish regions of iraq and we have heard. that they want to bring trouble inside iraq and the saudis have now sponsored one of the main dissident organizations headquartered there in france the m.k. all. bankrolling them and so one can only speculate and say educated guess that you kn

that ides of the palestinian defuses a typical clear more to just. being punished because we're not coming to the table of negotiations and. mr president that i can offer the negotiations those who view it as a limb now is ticking off the issue of if he has the can of the issue of settlements so is the bill is the empty why would. you believe assad and over to him this will never happen. numbers of the european parliament for the busy day discussing russia threats coming from both of these peta oliver has more now what we did see is this polarizing any piece on one side the group that said that russia was the root of all fake news and lies they were trying to drum up support an extra cash for the east struck com task force now that's the e.u. body that tries to look into an expose what it sees as fake news r.t. sputnik featured very heavy in some of the rhetoric coming from. there focused firmly on the fact that every vote in europe was potentially the target of a dastardly russian plot. there are russian agents in this faro parliament right now and

palestinian leaders say they won't be blackmailed after the us president threatened to cut aid worth around three quarters of a billion dollars a year donald trump tweeted the threat q. using palestinians not wanting peace talks he also said jerusalem is no longer up for negotiations or relations with the u.s. have plummeted since trump recognized jerusalem as israel's camp. last month the cards threaten money allocated to the palestinian authority most of us funding goes towards development not directly to the authority itself also at risk is funding to the un relief and works agency or which assists palestinian refugees the u.s. is its largest donor both measures if they go ahead would cost around seven hundred sixty five million dollars a year in aid to the palestinians. jhoom reports now from the city of ramallah in the occupied west bank for. a mother of three palestinian refugee children a routine trip to the doctor was already riddled with complications. but after hearing the u.s. may decide to cut more than three hundred million dollars of annual aid to the united nations rel

the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas will not be meeting pencey being brussels meeting e.u. officials instead of head of talks e.u. foreign policy chief for dicom o'grady again contradicted u.s. policy in jerusalem here's what she said. clearly there is a problem with jerusalem and i would say this is a very diplomatic euphemism and we europeans as well as all the other words and the united nations system as such. still continue to believe that the only pragmatic realistic solution for jerusalem has to come from direct negotiations and has to be the capital of two states. if i'm on this issue let me join our jerusalem correspondent tanya crema she's near the israeli parliament the knesset where mike pence is due to speak and tell me i'm mike pence described jerusalem as the capital of israel what sort of signal of dissent but underscoring this during his visit there. well i mean he's expected to say that he fully supports the decision by president trump who declared in december that truisms the capital of israel and he had got a very very warm welcome here by israeli leaders

body for palestinians. as head of the palestinian non-governmental organizations network he joins us on skype from gaza and we appreciate your time so. there is a clip that we showed earlier tara secretary-general of the un on camera being surprised. or not aware that the u.s. had followed through on this move were you surprised by it. thank you and just to show the real. situation all that goes do you know right now . with banking outside the post injuries mainly. due to the shortage of funds it is about one hundred million dollars which is a chronic shortage of funding on the only one organization's. now that is sixty five million dollars they didn't got out of the american commitment whereas the only one which means pushing your region is community to. warning them of. well it looks like the lives of hundreds of thousands of children women and has been affecting the from the only way this is from the health education and human services is this something that you think in some way might be. more or somewh

it is read that the arrest of a palestinian minor gets notice like this many palestinian activists are pointing out that there are hundreds of i had to mimi's according to official israeli figures three hundred and thirteen palestinian minors are currently in prison there and since the year two thousand at least eight thousand palestinian minors have been detained and prosecuted that's according to advocacy group defense for children international powers time during the strain to help us discuss this we have brad parker international advocacy officer stuff attorney at defense for children international palestine who has santa is a journalist and activist based in east jerusalem and al-timimi is an activist and cousin of a head to mimi and in the u.s. state of indiana yes and that bo is a student at activist originally from. in the occupied west bank it's good to have you here. everybody i'm fortunate under difficult circumstances i want to show our audience now this free. social media campaign i'm just going to go for people here somehow connected with a head story supported her story

administration got the message very clearly from the palestinian authority that not only did the palestinian or thought you know want to meet with senior officials somebody like the vice president or while they were on the on the visit to the region but also that they no longer accepted the united states as a broker in this decade strong conflict the second maybe aim from this trip is to try and explore or diversify the palestinian authority's options when it comes to political negotiations and its role within the international community israel understanding was we know. the u.s. has been pivotal in ensuring the protestant you know story not only received some funds and. backing but also was present in the discussions that took place internationally now that that's not taken. they're not on the same page so to speak as to how to move forward. the particular authorities given to what has also been a significant partner maybe not as strong as the united states but still very significant say in the european union our boss will be speaking to the twenty eight member foreign ministers as well as

scott: nabil shaath, former palestinian foreign minister and senior advisor to the current palestinian leader, says he, and all palestinians, were blindsided. nabil shaath: everything on their mind had to with mr. netanyahu. palestinians were not on their mind. i don't think they calculate did on the whole the world, actually, not only the palestinians. the thousands of people who took to the streets from jakarta to venezuela. i mean there were so many people who simply found it totally objectionable. scott: and, he says, when it comes to ending the violence in the middle east, this move radically alters the situation. here in the palestinian city of ramallah, many told us they had seen america as an honest broker in the peace process, now, they see betrayal. nabil shaath: you cannot be a broker if you are the enemy of one of the two parties, or if you are only the friend of one the two parties, or if you side with the, with the other party all the time, particularly in important issues, and before you get started. scott: do you ever see yourself at a bargaining table with president tr

standing by in brussels where palestinians president is meeting with the european union but first how the force that joins me now live from west jerusalem we may you could say how he that we've heard a lot of this before but he was very clear on certain points especially the embassy and he got a very warm welcome from knesset members. yeah i mean we may have heard some of this language before indeed as you say a lot of it but that the way it was concentrated so much in this very significant location and the way in which he allied the current us administration so closely with the current israeli administration was really remarkable to behold as you say there was this. protest a stand up of the israeli palestinian members that the joint arab lest some shouting slogans that jerusalem is the capital of palestine and then there was there was some scuffling as they were taken out of the knesset and that extended out here into the corridors outside as well at one stage an israeli member of the knesset who has a reputation for staging public showdowns in order to be on camera it seemed all of

if i were a palestinian i would seek to have myself and all of my friends and my family of leaders at the local level to a national level be arrested by israel what you need to do is hold a mirror up to the israeli people and say this is what you're creating this is the reality on the ground we're not using violence we will not cooperate with the occupation any more i plead with the public opinion to do internet nonviolent struggle because if you use violence you will never get the support of the israelis for the world. to one british man using a restoration but instead of a nuclear exchange so legislation there is still thinks it is a good day in this case since there's fear that. we've done just enough. welcome back russian opposition figure alexina valmy has been released without charge off to rallies took place in several russian cities on sunday the demonstrators had been protesting about the upcoming presidential election. reported from central moscow around a thousand people have been gathering here in moscow calling for the boycott of the upcoming this march presidential elect

mr pan's didn't make a single nod to the palestinians. you didn't mention that world there weren't settlements even once and i think it was quite clear that the he's administration is positioning itself not as a mediator or pretend mediator but as a fully fledged backer of one side how does it change the negotiating dynamic overall well there are no negotiations there haven't been negotiations for more than four years so i don't think it really changes anything to be fair to vice president pence he did refer to keeping the status quo at the religious sites in jerusalem he called the temple mount to her almost surely from referring to that as being the place where muslims pray he did say that the israelis and the palestinians would need to agree on the borders and the sovereignty. in jerusalem and you did say that the united states would support a two state solution if the two parties agreed on that so i think that there was room there but i don't believe that the trumpet ministration can be an impartial mediator or bring the parties into

what palestinian authority officials been saying. well sammy that's really along the lines of what we've been hearing i'm going to give you a little bit more of the reaction we heard from p.l.o. executive committee member when i should we who said palestinian rights are not for sale by recognizing occupy jerusalem as israel's capital donald trump has not only violated international law but he has also single handedly destroyed the very foundations of peace and condoned israel's illegal an extension of the city we will not be blackmailed the president trying to sabotage our search for peace freedom and justice now we also got reaction from mahmoud this money and he's another p.l.o. executive committee member he said that this is not the first threat and will not be the last one and he stressed the readiness of the leadership to go to negotiations immediately providing that it has a timeframe clear basis and accepting the two state solution now one more thing to add another reaction we've heard is from the spokesman for that's the u.n.

is one of the main donors in the occupied palestinian territories but at the same time the palestinians think they could play a much bigger role because what they have been saying over the past couple of weeks since this u.s. decision is that they can't see the united states as an honest broker anymore in any kind of peace initiative so they're looking for new parties to step in and also for possibly new mechanisms if there will be a new peace initiative at this and they would like to see the e.u. to play a much bigger role in that kind of climate in jerusalem thank you. and football shall go haven't had a great start to twenty eighteen and last weekend they lost a live second then they announced that star midfielder lyon got that sky will go to buy a new unit at the end of the season their opponents on sunday however i have had a decent return to the top flight and were looking for a win that would move them within a whisker of a european place. new york go ahead scott might have expected a warm welcome back after three months out on the site lanes instead shelters fans unveiled a bann
