that surrounded israel is surrounded israel surrounded surrounded it's israel the sun the siege and under threat you described a very small land mass and you know you're dealing with hamas and hezbollah and iran and so on i would like that it's a tough neighborhood the imagery here is so powerful that it's almost impossible to have a rational discussion about the legitimate grievances of palestinians hamas is a terror group and it is committed to killing jews and wiping israel off the face of the earth that's not debatable that's a fact none of this is by accident this is the result that with the liberal effort to shape america perceptions of the conflict a propaganda effort that really begins to take shape with israel's invasion of lebanon in one thousand nine hundred two. israel unleashed another massive air attack on palestinian guerrilla targets in lebanon today from the sky. and israeli jets bombing bombing. and the summer of nine hundred eighty two israel invaded neighboring lebanon in an attempt to drive the palestinian liberation organization out of its income and some south

finish and therefore israel has an obligation to provide that protection but we stand ready to help israel find alternative solutions for some of these refugees we've got my neighbor why does israel not want to look at these to be jumping in here when these alternative solutions posed by the un h.c.r. for example and is this actually even legal. it is legal israel like all other democratic states is obliged not to send a refugee to a country where there is a well founded fear that will be persecuted because of his race religion or political views and is a abides by this therefore we are not sending people back to sudan for instance although they came from sudan however it's perfectly legal to send to other countries who are willing to accept them israel does this other countries do it it's a tragedy for the of these. african refugees but it is time is war can't solve the problem isn't it israel throw your money in here only because it's kind of their race and their religion the fact that they are not jewish that they are black migrant know in the last the last two years we've got deported

the support inside israel for all of this isn't unanimous for settlements israel is a democracy and we have the right we have the left the right is for settlement the left is against at the moment the center basically distinguish between. the blocks and the rest of the settlement so there is an argument in israel and i can. most of the. two state solution. to head off a think tanks are doing. it every year and there are still sixty percent to choose to be sixty seven that the two state solution and if. will be put forward by the us by russia by that and the palestinians will agree for the settlement will not be an obstacle for peace do you think there is it was not in gaza in two thousand and five do you think that the annexation and annexing the settlement could be a possibility i'm asking this because i know that netanyahu always emphasizes on a fact that. any peace there would actually include settlements closer to israel proper perhaps living. once again the blocks the five six percent that the blocks are built upon will be part of his work this is agreed once again not only in the

how does that work in israel? >> it has been working the same since israel was established. having the power, the israeli prime minister, sometimes they will assemble a small committee, usually almost always the ministry of defense or foreign affairs or one of the religious ministers or some authority from god, she wanted to have that as part of the decision-making process but they all understood and still understand the gravity of that to issue a death verdict in a country that does not have death penalty and doing that without due process , there's nothing there. the only thing you had is the chief of the organization coming to the prime minister to convince him. this is usually happening in his private house, the house of the prime minister injures them. the chief of the organization, whoever he is, he is not bringing with him, he is bringing the intelligent officers. these are people, most under the age of 30. some of them under the age of 35. this is how the israeli system works. they are trying to convince the prime minister, just imagine the drama that unfolds. also,

we say that israel must uphold its obligation as an occupying power. we do not oppose the israel control its responsibility on the west bank because the situation is a bearable. -- unbearable. our commitment to maintain our institutions and cheeseman that we have realized on the ground, in palestine. we are determined to remain committed. we have never rejected dialogue, never rejected. we will continue to extend our hands to make peace and we will continue to exert efforts to --give and to the israeli end to israeli occupancy. we will continue to oppose any attempt cover regardless by who come to impose solutions that contradict. we have been granted the status observers --r nonmember observer state. we have become a state party to 105 international treaties and organizations. we have been recognized by 138. member states of the council that have not yet recognized the state. it is not a substitute for negotiation. againstion does not go negotiation. it promotes negotiation. i called upon members who have yet to recognize the state of palestine. in th

and israel is no match for iran israel its power is basically linked to the united states iran is not going to initiate any conflict with israel regime iran believes that israel must cease to exist because it is an apartheid state like its sister apartheid regime in. south africa by the way the israelis gave the apartheid regime in south africa me clear weapons too but but the israelis should recognize that if they initiate any conflict against iran or against friends of iran the israelis will definitely not ok let me go to mr a but i want to set up what a well what if the israelis decided to retaliate the iranians decided to fly about what kind of you know you do you see for the future of syria the region. i could see that accounted for the this escalation going to be and i don't know i can't speculate in days possibly but we will see continuance of israeli strike. face saving for their it guard of and knitting the hour of that that is raid knows very well and it's their general that's the nature of war has been changing. there is two front with one hundred fifty thousand missiles th

israel will continue to prevent iran from establishing a permanent military presence in syria israel will continue to act to prevent iran from establishing another terror base from which to threaten israel but iran continues to try to cross those red lines last week. its brazenness reached new heights literally new heights its center drone into israeli territory. violating israel's sovereignty threatening our security we destroyed the drone and the control center that operated from syria and when our planes were fired upon israel destroyed syrian anti-aircraft batteries. israel will not allow iran's regime to put a noose of terror around our neck. we will act without hesitation to defend ourselves and we will act if necessary not just against iran's proxies that are attacking us but against iran itself. whether today you will hear from mr zarif he's the smooth talking mouthpiece of iran's regime i give mr zarif credit he lies with eloquence. last year at this conference zarif said that i'm quoting extreme extremism is driven by lack of open respect well if that's true why does the ir

the support inside israel for all of this isn't unanimous for settlements israel is a democracy and we have the right we have the left the right is for settlement the left is against at the moment the center basically distinguish between. the blocks and the rest of the settlement so there is an argument in israel and i can see. most of the. two state solution. to head off the think tanks are doing. it every year and there are still sixty percent to choose to be sixty seven that the two state solution and if. will be put forward by the u.s. by russia by the cult that and the palestinians will agree for the settlement will not be an obstacle for peace do you think there is it was not in gaza in two thousand and five do you think that the annex a shunt i mix and annexing the settlement could be a possibility i'm asking this because i know that netanyahu always emphasizes on the fact that. any peace there would actually include settlements closer to israel proper perhaps living. once again the blocks. the five six percent that the blocks are built upon will be part of his or this is agreed

former head of the israel's military intelligence. the cost of israel's military presence in palestine and has been living with a constant threat of violence uprising. international pressure and growing domestic weariness of the situation but with jewish settlements all over the west bank israeli troops just leave the settlers to their own fate will israel ever let palestine achieve complete independence and any amount of negotiations to change the status quo. general yadlin it's really great to have you on our show welcome i'm happy to be in moscow while we happier here palestinians have actually dismissed america's leading role in middle east peace process and they want moscow russia to provide a new platform for multilateral negotiations do you think israel will take part in this new proposed format is moscow viewed as a trustworthy mediator by israel. i think you should go must i think you should go basically to a much more important issue and that's why the palestinians are avoiding every opportunity to reach an agreement if you

morning iran brazenly violated israel solvent israel holds iran and its syrian post responsible for today's aggression we will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect our sovereignty and our security. allies of syria and enemies of israel celebrated the downing of the warplanes. fighters from the pro iranian hezbollah group gathered on the border between lebanon and israel as israeli soldiers looked on. the iranian president hassan rouhani condemned the israeli action in syria. yet if one country thinks it can get desirable results by posting terrorism open but in neighboring countries then it is making a mistake we are ready to defend the security of the region and we call on all other countries to cooperate in this fashion boss the loss of the jet comes as israel acknowledged for the first time and i tack on iranian targets in syria. earlier i spoke with did a middle east correspondent tanya kramer in jerusalem and i asked her how serious this confrontation is. indeed it is a one of the most serious situations we have seen in the north of the postie is one very significant one and

respected in israel and we see it as a friendly country so like you were saying israel has traditionally enjoyed washington's support but just recently president trump said that he actually doubts that israel is interested in making peace with palestine do you think it's a valid concern i think a lot of things and you take only one of them. no doubts that both. and president obama. took positions in the last couple of years that make peace farther from us rather than close both of them has no positions cannot. close the gap. the gap between the palestinians and this. is huge. each side willing to give to the other side is not up to the minimum of the us and what is the sofa what is the. we all know what are the palmettos. deal between israel and the palestinians it is basically the clinton public. and everybody knows that each one of the sides should do every painful concession said to go against the national narrative zervos believes are religious the palestinians have to agree to recognize that israel is a jewish state and this is the end of conflict and finality of claims they have to

to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and the cut to the funding of the u.n. agency that deals with palestinians helps the palestinians in occupied areas under president abbas decided to come here himself to the u.n. security council and to give the speech but he's not going to stay and didn't stay for the rest of the meeting which will now continue with all the ambassadors of the security council making their speech i think it's pretty likely that not all of the ambassadors who've spoken will be in by the end i'm sure by previous. experience that ambassador hailey the u.s. ambassador probably won't be there when the final of the fifteen ambassadors speak president abbas condemned her and her and the administration of president trump saying that they were no longer an honest negotiator he wants now the international community to come together to lead negotiations between the israelis and palestinians and he's called for an international peace conference he once again was critical of what the israelis have been doing. dr. israel is acting as a state above the i

a severe response from now on israel's reaction syria is playing with fire. well earlier i asked the middle east correspondent tanya kramer if it's likely that a further escalation will now follow. well it seems that most of the military and this tells us saying that none of the sides would like to see an escalation. but at the same time i mean it is about as concern has always been that iran and through its proxies like hezbollah will entrenched itself in the area near the israeli golan heights occupied golan heights near the border area and they want to avoid that so this is the israeli line has been you know this is a red line and they will whatever they see if it's a threat they will attack this now. they also say i mean this is a show of strength now from all sides i think you could say. nobody wants an escalation but of course you have to wait and see whatever follows from this incident but no time in talis just want has been israel's involvement in syria to what extent have they been conducting operations there since the civil war broke out in that cou

israel's capital g. i feel like it's helping the israeli palestinian process or the contrary i don't think that it's. it's disturbing as the palestinians are claiming. if you listen very very carefully to. the basics say i recognize the reality and i recognize the fact that jerusalem is the capital of israel and jerusalem when you hear is voice the coordinates of places in jerusalem so to mention you say the knesset the parliament is in jerusalem the prime minister's office in jerusalem the supreme court court is in it goes a little all of them in west jordan if i were a palestinian i wouldn't birth his speech so you know all the places selling us dollars a lot trump saying the same speech the future borders will be decided in the go. between israel and palestine he said the status quo on the karma sheriff is not going to change this is basically can play to the palestinians demonstrates why they have made such a big deal out of it let me tell you les have tell you a secret because a new is a term plan i

israel. uses aggression. as a policy against his name they can blame it for ever on their own but to resolve their problems. as the fifty fourth munich security conference comes to an end this verbal onslaught seems to indicate more uncertainty. well our chief political correspondent melinda crane is in munich covering the conference for us and she joins us now for more so melinda iran's foreign minister didn't respond directly to netanyahu the israeli prime minister but his speech did include a great deal of criticism against israel and other countries tell us more about these two competing philosophies that the two leaders presented today in munich. it wasn't only these two leaders in fact it was a whole range of spokespeople both from the region and also including the former american secretary of state john kerry a russian spokesman and the u.n. official responsible for trying to negotiate peace in syria a whole range of voices and essentially two camps to be detected those who believe that a political and

a severe response from now on israel's reaction syria is playing with fire. and i know our we're joined by our middle east correspondent tanya in jerusalem tanya great to see you let's dive into this very complicated situation so syria has denied that its ally iran drone entered the israeli air space how serious is this confrontation between israel and the law and iran in light of the syria situation. it is one of the most serious situations we have seen in the north of the postie is one very significant one and also from this we decided based on winning to iran that we heard prime minister binyamin netanyahu has been security meetings old day with the army saying that israel will defend itself against any attack and you're tempted by that it's. now is a has made it clear all along that it won't. rain in presence. its borders and the israeli side of the occupied golan heights through in the ukrainian presence or through the opinion backed has been now so what is seen here is on the one side you see a show of strength you know by all sides by is granted by ira

israel is not a charity. it seeks to harm egypt there was nothing new in that the mist says it's the nature of israeli politics and if it didn't operate in that way. then it would not be easier for. them since its establishment in one nine hundred forty eight surrounded by hostile arab neighbors israel has sought friends where it can. in africa israel built relations with newly independent known arab states. egypt grew increasingly concerned about israel's activities on the continent. they suspected the israelis of trying to politically outflank egypt by befriending countries that could influence the flow with egypt's lifeline the river nile. am i laugh at how historically the most important relationships israel built on the african continent were at uganda ethiopia kenya india. and it's no coincidence that all of them are upstream countries where the nile originates they did build relationships with other countries but the river nile was the major factor behind the formation of israeli policy and strategy. t

and that even if israel can down. ninety percent of it there was to be one hundred missiles reaching is that and that's why or that's what explains the fears even the likes of city of haifa and northern israel where they want to open. you know the bunkers and so on and so forth because there is fear it is and so it is an important escalation and i think everyone now has been put on notice fascinating stuff isn't it mo one bashar senior political analyst in london thank you mo one reference this just a moment ago to turkish soldiers killed when their military helicopter was shot down in syria there is this video said to show the moments before it went down in time province the helicopter crew were on an operation against kurdish fighters turkey's president is warning the attackers will pay a heavy price. should a little while ago one of our helicopters was downed of course all these things will happen when we are in a war we will have losses but we will also cause losses yesterday we destroyed and annihilated a very la

so what's been the reaction so far and side israel to reports of this f. sixteen coming down. well let me give you the details of the large scale military response that took place in the last few hours against targets in side syria fishley what the israeli army have said is that israeli. sorry israeli air force targeted the syrian aerial defense system and iranian targets in syria twelve targets including three aerial defense batteries and four iranian military targets was attacked and the acro missiles were then fired towards israel triggering a lomas in northern israel so this operation a large scale attack against those targets drop in very quickly in the last four or five i was against those targets of the israelis clearly knew what targets they wanted to hit in. in revenge against what happened and now we're also hearing that the cabinet meeting there will be a cabinet meeting a little bit later we do know that the defense ministry of already met they are likely to trying to beef trying to figure out what response they have next to airport was also shut down for about fif

israel was very, very successful. of course, while doing that, also paying a heavy moral price. >> you say a heavy moral price. what is that heavy moral price? that is the heart of this issue for a state like israel. >> heavy moral price is first that you need to make a call, who are you killing? it's easy when you're talking about terrorists. people who kill people, and are going to kill more people tomorrow. it's harder when you're talking about proli liferators. the top scientists were killed. these people are sovereign or working employees of the sovereign country, legitimate project, and they were killed are talking about collateral damage. this is a diabolic question. you are a leader of the country, in israel only the prime minister is allowed to execute, or okay a kill. you know that you have a target. tomorrow, this target is going to kill more israelis by sending suicide bombers and you kill him only if you kill him and his wife who is using as a human shield. what do you do? the answer that many israeli lea

iran seeks to use syrian territory to attack israel for its professed goal of destroying israel. israel is wary about the threat across its northern border, with the syrian regime, backed by iran and its proxies, like these hezbollah fighters, back in control of much territory. syria's conflict has drawn in her neighbours. there have been dozens of israeli air strikes in syria in recent years. in december, israel hit what it said was a newly—built iranian military site. as recently as this week, a suspected chemical weapons factory was targeted. iran has accused israel of lies, claiming it has only military advisers in syria. israel says it doesn't want an escalation in syria, but in a highly volatile atmosphere, where any of the players is capable of miscalculation, there remains open the distinct possibility of precisely that. tom bateman, bbc news, jerusalem. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. turkey says one of its military helicopters has been shot down in the north of syria. it happened near afrin — where turkish forces are fighting kurdish
