in the gaza strip? and also they say settlement now is not objectionable and they do not refer much to the occupied palestinian territory, so what is left on the table to talk about? well, here's the interesting question, given that the list you've just given me of reasons why it's absolutely impossible to talk to the americans given the positions they've staked out, my question to you is, why aren't the saudis, the gulf state leadership, the egyptians and thejordanians all very happy to talk to the americans and appear to be involved in trying to figure out how a peace plan might work out? it seems you are dangerously isolated. we are not isolated. they are engaging them for their own reasons, including things related to the role of iran in the region. but let me just tell you that we have made an initiative in the security council in february which was...the essence of it endorsed by our palestine national council, in which we are saying we want a collective process to open a meaningful door for the p

special envoy mr plan of here in the region to ease the diet humanitarian situation in the gaza strip by creating emergency jobs tackling this electricity problem and water but he also made a very strong statement last night said you know we have to get all sides stepping back from the brink of war because all of this needs to have a calm situation and again it's a very fair try and calm at the moment you've just returned from gaza as well what has it been like there. well for people there it's extremely worrying what's happening i spoke to people then they were asking could that be the beginning of another war they've already been through three wars and they can't not i mean they're going about their daily lives they're stuck in gaza basically because of all the restrictions there's a closer imposed by israel and egypt and again there are also new restrictions the flow of goods through the only commercial crossing with israel that israel said this week in response to the border tensions so people there are asking you know what what will happen then we'll look very carefully what will

gaza strip. ambassador, things have escalated in the last week or so, as you know. last weekend we saw roughly 200 rockets and mortars fired toward israeli territory from positions inside gaza. 0ne fired toward israeli territory from positions inside gaza. one is rarely town was hit. in return, the israelis use their warplanes to bomb targets across gaza. what is your message to those inside gaza who resume the rocket and mortar fire? well, first of all, i am not so sure that this cycle of violence was initiated by the palestinian side. i think it was initiated by the israeli aircraft and their bombardment by their robert artillery, in which a number of children were killed, at least four, and more than 65 have been injured, through this violence from the israeli side. and i believe that, you know, maybe one or two from the israeli side that were injured in this cycle of violence. from our position, that we declare very repeatedly, we are against the killing of innocent civilians from any side, a

now as you know it all comes on the backs of these three months of protests around the gaza strip and the border tensions as well and the best weeks have been very very strong in the past couple of days now it's still to see whether this calm and it's always relative when you talk about a calm in gaza and the surrounding area will actually hold it's a very volatile situation. still a fragile situation there at the moment tanya can the international community do anything to ease the tension do you think well we understand that again this cease fire or a return to calm as of as also last week was brokered by egypt and also by the u.n. and there's also talk a bit of a wider plan by u.s. involvement in the region but nothing solid on that yet so all eyes are actually on cairo as well as on the u.n. plan that is put forward by the u.n. special envoy mr blunt if you're in the region to ease the humanitarian situation in the gaza strip by creating emergency jobs tackling this electricity problem and water but he also made a very strong statement last night said you know we have to get all si
