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 two other to be jumping in here when these alternative solutions posed by the u.n. 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's 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 cause of the problem isn't it israel throughout their money and 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'v

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 pour me . most of these are still two state solution. to head off a think tanks are doing. it every year and still sixty percent it used to be sixty seven that the two state solution and if reasonable agreement will be put forward by the us 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 four 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 the fact that. any peace there would actually include settlements closer to israel proper perhaps living. once again the blocs the five six percent that the blocks are built upon will be part of his or this

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

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

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 present 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 doubt that both point minister netanyahu and president obama. took positions in the last couple of years that make peace farther from us rather than closer both of them has now positions that cannot and to close the gap. the gap between the palestinians and israelis. is huge. each side willing to give to the other side is not up to them in a minimum of two hours or so 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 should do if they're the painful concessions that go against the national narrative. believes are religious the palestinians have to agree to. is that israel is a jewish state and this is the end of con

and israel is no match for you ron. it's 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 i see it by the way the israelis gave the apartheid regime in south africa let me clear weapons too but but this really is should recognize that if they initiate any conflict against iran or against friends of iran this release will definitely not ok let me go to mr a bit obama said i want to go what if the israelis decided to retaliate of the iranians decided to fire back what kind of scenario do you see for the future of syria of the reason. i could see that contentment for the this escalation going to be and i don't know i can't speculate in days possibly but we would see continuance of israeli strike. face saving for their it of and need to be our of that that is very knows very well and that's the general that's the nature of war has been ch

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 the side of a stone warning to iran that we heard prime minister binyamin netanyahu has been security meetings whole day with the army saying that israel will defend itself against any attack and the attempt to violate its. now is a has made it clear all along that it won't now and it may nion presence. its border is near the israeli side of the occupied golan heights. through and ukrainian presence or through the ukrainian backed hezbollah. 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

do not just israel's resolve israel's prime minister accuses iran of being the biggest threat to middle east security. though i'm maryanne demasi this is al jazeera live from london also coming up funerals for two palestinian teenagers shot by israeli forces in gaza as tension continues on the border. kurdish forces agree a deal to allow the syrian army to enter a free to repel turkish offensive. and stars dressed in black in london in support of the campaign against sexual harassment will be like the bastards. israel's prime minister delivered a theatrical flourish and withering attack on iran at the end of a major security conference in munich brandishing part of a drone at benjamin netanyahu described to iran is the biggest threat to middle east security iran's foreign minister for back accusing him of delusional thinking they've achieved reports from munich. these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu went straight into attack mode against iran as he took to the podium in munich issuing a direct threat to tehran israel will not allow iran regime to put a noose of terror around ou

israel's ambassador to kenya. arrives to a warm welcome from local farmers in the village of garroting on the outskirts of nairobi he's clear on his assignment. and their idea the basic idea is to assist communities of farmers to achieve much more you much more crops with less labor with less water and even with less fertilizers and pesticides as. these women farmers are beneficiaries of this assistance. by passing on its know how and donating equipment israel is empowering local communities in africa and winning friends. we're so impressed me them because they identify the ends who go right down to see the needs of their people and so for us in this village we are very happy with them. but others in africa believe israel's presence there particularly in upstream nile countries like kenya has more to do with politics than aid. is that more society or israel is not a charity. the end it seeks to harm egypt there was nothing new in that the midst. it's the nature of israeli politics and if it didn't operate in that

our commitment to israel's security is unwavering and we support israel's right to defend it. mister president, the united kingdom's position on an israeli-palestinian peace agreement have not changed. it should be based on the lines that they stood on june 4, 1967 with equal land swaps to reflect the national security and religious interest of the jewish and palestinian peoples. jerusalem should be the shared capital of the israeli and palestinian state and the status must be determined through a final status agreement. a just, fair, agreed and realistic settlement for refugees is needed and his death demographically compatible with the principle of two states for two peoples. to conclude mister president, like all in this council, the united kingdom strongly supports peace. we want to see renewed peace negotiations supported by the international community which leads with a safe and secure israel, the homeland of the jewish people living alongside a viable and sovereign palestinian state, the homeland for the palestinian people. let us all work together to lay thegroundwork

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

sixteen pilots ejected from the plane and parachute safely into northern israel israeli army says they were shot at by massive anti-aircraft fire they were targeting a military base inside syria suspected of launching an iranian drone which flew towards the golan heights let's get more now from joins me from western so what's been the reaction so far inside israel to reports of this f. sixteen coming down. well the israelis are squarely blaming the iranians for this they have gone off to what they say are iranian targets inside of syria they say they've destroyed a command and control center for the unmanned aerial vehicle the drones flew over. really taking a look at what they should do next now we are hearing that a cabinet meeting the government is going to formulate a cabinet meeting to discuss what to do next also the minister of defense is meeting right now to see what kind of response of the formulates been a couple of emergency measures take place within israel itself in gori an airport the main airport in tel aviv was shut for about fifteen minutes all flights was suspended th

smokescreen for israel that there's a legal. osas going on when there isn't so we can leave aside that it's a done deal she's not getting a fair trial but we have to look out the potential there is a potential there the palestinians have basically tried three strategies they have tried to armed resistance that's gaza the fact of the matter is speaking honestly they want they went into combat with israel three times protected and most called pillar of the fence in the event by two thousand and twelve each time the goal was the same to end the siege then work it didn't work one of the and the brutal illegal immoral siege it didn't work the armed resistance is not produced the result the objective that they sought we all can agree it's now kind of not a discussion and a more diplomacy doesn't work it's a waste of time take all the fancy hotels they just talk and doesn't change and eventually america. seems to back that point about he'll still go to still go to the meetings because he likes the five star hotels but there his head ha

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

so when the iranians violate israeli air space israeli sovereignty by sending a drone into israel israel both should sit down and makes the point of retaliate ing in order to have some impact in the talks about the future of syria israel would not sit idly by if i during such the orange an eva the future is syria is decided upon without bringing into consideration israel's own interests some some might say that israel is perhaps working its own agenda in syria if you jump online and just and just have a look at the information israel has been conducting as sorties over syria for many many years it's almost acting according to its own agenda that's according to some international analysts. well you know the old strategic air command in the united states used to have the sign peace is our business which of course sounds ironic because there were intended to bomb the soviet union and other places in world war three but as a matter of fact what israel has been doing in syria rance along the same line israel wants to avoid a third war in lebanon and the third war will ensue if hizbullah gets

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 this release will definitely not ok let me go to mr a but i want to set up what i won't what if the israelis decided to retaliate then 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 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 and a fact of course israel is a nuclear power but it's not going to be a school eating that much that they'

well iran has rejected as ridiculous israel's claim that it intercepted one of its jones israel says iran is playing with fire by entering its air space among khan has more now from west jerusalem the operation is ongoing but we haven't heard of any fresh attacks from anywhere inside syria in the last hour or so but the official line is that the operation is ongoing and they're also not commenting on what brought down the israeli f. sixteen fighter jets however across social media here the blame is being placed squarely in the hands of iran saying that iran is a big problem for the israelis are these be dealt with very quickly now to the iranians have actually reacted that issued a statement it says shooting down the israeli jet is a clear message the days of carrying out attacks inside syria go on any new attack will be confronted iran stands by syria against any foolish move by israel so there's a lot of strong reaction coming out from iran there's been a battle one hundred israeli airstrikes inside syria against various targets including hezbollah convoys and the like what we saw

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 relation doesn't mean that we admitting what israel is doing or or what israel will do and last june you remember what happened . in jerusalem and president are gone call president of israel we asked them to stop it and we stood very strong all together and they did stop it now it is the decision of the united states and you saw how they were isolated in new york at the u.n. so the entire wall rejected. decision of the united states and at the security council also so this we will continue our efforts all together not only as turkey of course turkey is leading this role particularly in the muslim world because we are the. person with the chair of the organ at the council i see but i just want to ask you one thing this is specifically this threat that the president's made that turkey would cut off ties with israel if trump recognizes to some of the capital the president adamant made this statement after the decision of two united states that before the decision but still those options and see if if there's still the relation and we have the embassies here but if this generation.

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,

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 michael and 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 we 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 country

israel's objective was not military it was not targeting combatants it was not targeting military sites its objective was the civilian population that was a horse of a totally different color and just very briefly and then suddenly he recanted well he came under huge attack personal attack professional attack dredging up his past when he was a judge in south africa under the apartheid regime going for the moral juggler telling him he can't attend his grandson's or mitt in south africa he's in south africa he was a south african citizen and still is comes under tremendous attack and then on. first two thousand and eleven which is april fool's day in the united states we all thought it was a prank opened up the newspaper washington post he recanted the whole report because he said that he had underestimated the number of hamas military casualties because previously everyone had said how is it that hamas had been untouched by the british back warplane as strikes well killing songs goldstone claim that he recanted because of what he called new information that since he had published the rep

the true aggressor israel. uses aggression. as a as a policy against his name they can blame it for ever on it on but that won't resolve their problems. as the fifty fourth munich security conference comes to an end this verbal onslaught seems to indicate more uncertainty. on the sidelines of the conference there was an incident involving nato member turkey and a leading german greens politician. to be here was given police protection for the duration of the conference after the turkish delegation reportedly fled to mess a terrorist he was staying in the same hotel as the turkish foreign minister met. who deny turkey was targeting his demeanor in any way used to me or address the situation after arriving back in berlin here's what he had to say. chicken in the hotel during check in i noticed already several security guards who seemed to become very nervous when they saw me as if they had seen the devil himself i'm stuck for the next morning there were a lot of officers from the bavarian police in front of my ro

building relations with israel and specially military cooperation with. israel. and i think there has been a special. session this visit is important because maybe things back some balance. in positions we of course appreciate the fact that and you have worked with us in the most recent book and then our nation's i guess mr trump's decision on the other hand that this visit is also diplomatically important because it opens the door hopefully sort of bigger involvement from the brics countries i mean china russia south africa that's are being counted in sri lanka after its most peaceful election and decades it's the first vote since electoral loss change that allowed a record number of women to campaign for a seat in local government but now fernandez has more from colombia choosing members of three hundred forty two local government needs to sions observers say voter turnout was higher than expected some districts reporting eighty five percent of voters had a clear idea of what they wanted from their local representatives corruption is a big problem so somebody w

morning iran brazenly violated israel's sovereignty 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 the 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 obama putting neighboring countries than 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 nation 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 to the abuse middle east correspondent tanya kramer interest 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 for the past years one very sig

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

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. a double—decker bus has overturned in hong kong, killing 19 people and injuring 62 on the tai po road police have arrested the driver and charged him with causing death by dangerous driving. sophia tran—thomson has t
