12:34 pm
historical and cultural beauties. a. hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question. if israel doesn't want a permanent ceasefire in gaza, then what does it really want? let's get to the bottom line, the israel's leaders and see if they won't accept the permanency speier and they're, we're on gaza and may have intensified their attack on rasa. that town is the last refuge for more than a 1000000 palestinians who been pushed there as israel extends, it's warren gaza, with no end in sight. us president joe biden said that israel's plans to attack proper quote just wrong, and he paused the shipment of weapons to israel. but how real are the tensions between israel and its biggest sponsor, the united states? and can israel continue with warren guys with impunity? well into the future today we're talking with daniel levy, president of the us middle east project and former advisor to be as really government. daniel, thank you so much for talking with us today. we just go right to the news president
12:35 pm
biden has put a pause on the shipment of arms and weapons and 2000 bond pound bonds is real. do you see this is a serious inflection point in the relationship, or is this just a minor speed bump? states it all depends on whether he's willing to sustain unexpired this way and it's been cold. last fall. is that stuff and all events being revisited and will be sent to the time b. steve, i to show you at all i and many people watching will question well that, how were they doing still sending to 1000 pound balls on a heck of a lot of other ordinance to his route. love seemed to of what we quite clearly see easy to have a staging stitch. ready issue where is red,
12:36 pm
there's no big targeting with precision. we see north poles all the latin ray i programs being used. you see the highest court in the world, the international court of justice, issue provisional measures, all the south african initiative regarding violations of the genocide which co provisional measures to prevent irreparable damage to the palestinian civilian population. get a soft of that decision. the us will still sending shipments the price of the bite and very possibly acknowledged to things in that cnn interview 1st. but then they would have been both crimes can be used to 1000 pound balls and secondly, the norms involved always the way for it. okay, put that aside for say the real questions going for. ready ministration, tell us that as is real big is to go into
12:37 pm
a rock of right now. there's rarely say it's a limited operation. washington is a guest image operation. the nothing you all are busy, no hurry. and this feels like precisely the beginnings of something divided ministration is said, don't to add to that continues as we still don't see the entry of the kind of humanitarian assistance that is and that's not. sonya says down the prices and says, we have to weapons, we're continuing shame on you for challenging us of this way. and as we hear the echo chamber inside, the us go off to the press, or will the president begin to muddy the waters and say of cold seas rouse boil goals of somebody? we still back, we don't really see uh rough uh as being uh, having cross a tipping point cause i must have still to blame for the fact. there's no deal,
12:38 pm
even though i said yes, interesting. no. will the see that marching all will receive the president say to he's ready, the prime minister. i'm the super power here. you are undermining us. these all potential violations, but we cannot be pump. so we are not going to send you the weapons because from day one of these complex, true to weeks and the months is ro couldn't build a sustain this without that not just political diplomatic casa, but that very concrete, american military support. and the key point, right? that if the ministration isn't capable of sustaining this for a period of probably several weeks, then nothing yahoo will carry on and he will fail. he has the measure of the pressed estate. nothing you know has a problem. we could all pre decide relief because the war will have to wind down.
12:39 pm
that's the question i want to ask you about an article you wrote, i commend our audience to read it called seeing gaza clearly. and in this, in this article, you talk about the struggle of really jewish identity, both within is real but also among american jews. and the divides that, that you were seeing generationally. ok. and you also go to the question of a, a in party jewish core at the basis of many of these college protests we just discussed. and i'd love to know from you what you think gaza in this crisis is doing to jewishness in america to is really identity at home. how, how are things being worked? we have said this protest movement. i think it from what we are reading here reading, seeing the jewish contingent a as a, as
12:40 pm
a counsel may well be the 2nd largest alongside palestinians, arab americans, that's a significant thing. and we saw the president in what would otherwise have been a relatively standard and important speech on all the calls from edwards. but he said something that that had a long bells ringing for me. which was he takes now about design is a be anti semitic about these protests be anti semitic. he doesn't talk about the attacks on that to students by some of these rel sports. but les paul you know, of course i can understand that the palestinians, zines is the us with the display sleep, the ethnic cleansing a history of the denial of their rights. i don't know how you can most
12:41 pm
not be opposed to design as a, as a palestinian, but in the jewish space you know, those of people, we pride ourselves on constantly grappling with pegs of doing, debating on show that stuff unique to the jewish there is a strand of jewish, ultra also toxic, which sees the existence while they sign the state of israel as coal street to their reading of jewish text. you called have jewish silver di, absent the coming of the messiah. that's that. you will have a cohort of jewish people who see actual existing design. that's just what has happened in the 75 plus years. what it is meant as an upfront to better understanding of the cold. 5, use the cool epic they and we derives from our below me
12:42 pm
to a jewish people and a jewish history and a universe style, etc. of that never again. so nobody mind dates that all jews who maybe don't, how do i do those positions? look, this is very practical way. i'd say the, you know, the id ology one of those that interesting to page. but is this real doing? was written on the to easiest real batching the world a safer place for east re jews as to what use on the outside by going down this ever more stream journey to a place where it's, it's in the top of the international criminal court. i've been special court of justice. let's just have a pragmatic conversation is disloyalty. so the idea that you can create this before the end is of is an acceptable form of contemporary jewish expression. that is
12:43 pm
a top down full full place for a political debate to be and for a president today to be. and it says insults to many jews into jewish history. and it's the thing we have to recognize these people don't go home. it's not going to hold because was on the table today, and this is fascinating. it's not, you know, they're out. they say that the dispute settlement is going to fall. the idea that actually existing design is, is working. that's what some of the like for so i'm really important as well as with having not to back i would urge because there's nothing more legitimate. i would argue nothing. mobile, jewish protesting against crimes and genocide and inhumanity. but i would urge people to make sure that purchase exist for pete. ready to traverse, but there is
12:44 pm
a way to the jewish people until people who beside density. so the issue with this router has been so central, i can understand that when i'm very anti semitism, the phrase but i insisted ethridge but when people have do so much of their identity around this affiliation with this, well, it comes feel like you're doing very sensitive being is under so as people question that we need to make sure that we're bridges for people to say ok, this is hard for the how do i join you in the hall and then the heat of the moment . i know that's difficult. but that has to be that way of, of reaching it out. it has been a full 10, happy jewish friday night's jewish policy with a subsidy. and i think it's gonna be really important. the more people can go on that journey. and the future is office to is ray jews, again, a hall,
12:45 pm
but this isn't algeria, you know, plus, once we get beyond the policy that the offering has to be here is your place where you will actually be more secure. it was is ready to leave a future dispensation of equality. notice going up some supremacy of equality. and i know try to preach to people who are living through a horrendous assault right now by the palestinians themselves. know that this will strategically sub them and they know, i think that he's ready to go on going anywhere right on the river to the sea. they are going to be that, but not in this position of privileged organization under equality with utilities best. right. daniel, where do you see palestinian identity at this moment? i know you have many palestinian contacts. you've been watching the protest in the united states. and you yourself have been a bridge many,
12:46 pm
many times between these different factions. what struggles and stresses does the palestinian side of this equation, which is under incredible siege right now, need to go through where, where is that? so as we see this piece movements, is that a challenge? you question people kinds of directions. this incredible proliferation. if people haven't yet seen michael's getting full, i highly recommend it's a cold top breakthrough. what is happening when you don't have a policy or a national move? it flies the flag, but it doesn't apply the liberation struggle stress. you don't have a move that can say, hey, this is where we come in. this is where we can be useful. this is what we're offering is off free to java because the, the main stream of but through the d is also has been co date has been decimated. i don't know yet that yes, this has been, it is rainy strategy to be backed by america of the west to impose the does to
12:47 pm
impose the reality, to impose solutions adults policy. and through those years that leadership as last talked with these people. so this is a mobile where not in the least propitious of circumstances, palestinians are having to grapple with how do they rebuild their own move, but they're of strategies their own visions for the future. and they just don't have given the space to do so. but the wants of a splunk to give to. ringback palestinians, and i would argue by extension that to the possibility of a better future for palestinians in his regular like the worst thing one could do, would be to have this idea of that, you can simply go back to the status quality, freeze the apartheid reality, choose need is for the palestinians, put some text the question chart. if people all familiar with the mover of what codes of a sudden columbus toll free. but the fantasies around the saudis guaranteeing
12:48 pm
a power steering and future the saudis onto to forward into this problem. i don't need any way by the way, this nonsense, which will only make it harder to get to the cool of you know, what, all the process of truth and reconciliation in the future could this i was involved in that i would also piece that, but i the thing that was supposed to speak to c absent was any attempt to get a truth reconciliation. historic justice doesn't mean you've ready to start wakes, but it needs to be confront tons and tons with the dump sweep under the carpet. the seminal experience that have students opened up oh dispossession. and that's where the hall seat and i don't know. yes there are. there are petitions going around this is a moment of a great to molten up organizing on the palestinian side, but on the really difficult. so my question to you in this is who is going to be
12:49 pm
the agent to help change the game on the palestinian side of this equation? because as i look at it, i don't see any error of states ripping up the abrahamic cords. i don't see jordan egypt saying, hey, our peace treaty is over. i see a lot of consternation. i see a lot of calls for concern. i don't see anyone changing the trajectory that they're on either in the era of world or the broader western us trans atlantic world in this tell me where i'm wrong. one thing the last 7 months to show. ready is the abraham a. ready type, mobilizing ation agreements off clear, you know, that contribution to piece. i don't think that was it, that of the actual architecture intention, but they have survived. they do that one way of looking at this, where israel conceal relatively relaxed about its equities in the region. but i do think something fundamental this happened, which is that the not just those who side globalization. richard, in general, a seen a few things, is seen. the. ringback there is
12:50 pm
a cost to be too closely associated with a country to conduct this extreme. they have seen that these rating based of instability has been shot that a lot of the reasons they thought it was love being close up full in terms of ease arouse intel and all the military capacities are far more on the question. they have seen the access of resistance, basically establishing new balance of 2 templates. that is not a simple thing. well, that does not translate into the state to your question. is a willingness to say ok, that means we change it with to get a more unified representative policy and leadership because that's the only way we can carry this forward. i think there's full recognition of that in the out over the, the, some of the global south that is really leading to this question and recent thoughts, whether it's africa with south africa or in the lead weather in south america, which would posit asia where it would seem to need or that leisure step up in
12:51 pm
important ways. but i think the surrounding countries are still not playing that front wide state for they are facing the real concerns from their own public who are watching the same social media videos as we are. and they are trying to navigate that traditional, those who are in close relations with america, that traditional relationship lease, um clubs, sending over relations with these rel, i'm this recognition that this is of watching. what do we do with the policy as the default? is you go back to those same policy and structures which inherently title deliver what is needed and where that brings me to save is to file number one just bought out installed, try to force the structures on policies. give promised. dig into the space that very rarely happens. it is an actual politics,
12:52 pm
but it's really needed. now we need to bring together not just the factions, but civil society and the trade unions of women's movements and use movements and the business tribute that should be allowed to happen. i'm not saying, well, the 2nd thing that i think it points to is maybe the result for some in the region, but some of these outside state to have an affinity for reconciliation tools and who are perhaps a little less publish. whether it's the south africa, with the liberation movement, experience, whether it's obviously or in this space to eventually i hope we need to how the palestinians find that space to reinvent their own politics. because that's going to be so crucial going forward. let me just ask you finally, daniel, about the recent by the administration's efforts and also car par in egypt to get to a cease fire agreement with hamas. how mos accepted that israel rejected it. is there any scenario that you can see where is real and the different players in the region
12:53 pm
reset and withdraw from gaza, or is the essentially the i and i elation of gaza. the only future we're going to see it has up to the, the, the way into a sustainable com. sustainable ceasefire is the best way is roles to as hostages. that there's a public, the cares about those hostages, the government and the prime minister at least have to sometimes give the impression that they can't, or i say that not to be flipped but, but i think at this stage it's really hard to imagine that that's a priority folder, but that, that there's a possible deal with those who are still live on the hostage side can get out. that's the way into a ceasefire. this is ro withdraws from casa, adams won't be games to rebuild the devastation that already exist. ringback yep, also is likely to be further dilated by say that with a heavy hawk,
12:54 pm
the destruction ready for structure, schools, hospital score glasses. okay. and that's by the way, one of the pieces like campus is used car so much. so there's this idea of the one could get nothing y'all politic, not just ideologically so politic. ready is concerned that when he asked before he faces the music, what happens on october 7th, as of the military will reside, will he resign a logic protest, the types the streets, he's not finished, but he is sub by the war continued. therefore, it will take a combination of domestic pressure and international pressure for 8 to be more politically risky and costly for him to continue the will rather than ends . if the us once before,
12:55 pm
the agent is going to have to be willing to maintain a scandal with these ready prime minister to get to that outcome. and this is the trajectory we have been on for several months, a structure directory. we continue on. unfortunately at the moment although calls will. ready continue to salsa. east route is not going to eliminate, come off, that's a scientist. see, israel will continue to be in this region. will continue to be all the nightstands . we haven't spoken about this, steve, but there is the, uh, the escalation recently with it wrong. there was a continuing situation between israel has the law that these board you have to both see move, but you have the voltage of the highest of shop to militias in rock. you're not going to get a call me of the region wildly stubs on that you cannot really bring those
12:56 pm
to a call. if you are willing to read it to that calculation of these right. prime minister . he's also off doing publications in the west bank at east jerusalem. so it's a change that yeah, the probably bass, the binded ministration on comes back to that was getting this wrong. pre ok. so the 2nd labor on this fairy tale vision that this is the, this is jake, some of this is the quietest period in the middle east that we can just clint biology rating our students situation. that's not the case. the power of the habits . i think it's been to that great cost and different what a change in 10 are in the world. want to thank you for your candor. daniel. thank you. daniel levy, president of the us middle east project and former advisor to be is really government. really appreciate you joining us. thank you state. so what's the bottom line?
12:57 pm
doesn't it seem like president biden is running for election against is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, rather than against donald trump. at least that's how it's often framed in the media. biden's and netanyahu's fates are on a collision course with netanyahu currently commanding the scene extending the conflict and attacking rasa which bite has been telling him not to do for the past 3 months. but binding has been. busy words and no action. occasional expressions of concern about the death of innocent people in gaza with 0 distance between israel in the us. there had been some bumps on the road, but as long as saying notice the spires keeps netanyahu in office. us will fret and complain but continue supporting israel's course in gaza and the west bank. the crash we've all been witnessing. we'll continue. and that sadly is the bottom line the an age where the controls to virtual scenario,
12:58 pm
saying he's back to hell. are you looking back? are you sure? no, no file, but not in the eyes of his government. with my citizenship was revoked. i was surprised. a new 3 part series detailing the struggle is a pretty shade waka and the dangerous consequences of citizenship revocation on innocent until proven guilty statements in syria. coming soon on al jazeera in japan. divorce also leads to one parent losing only contact with the children. judges usually grunt sole custody to whoever was last, physically with the child, with a new law set to allow the joint custody one. 0, one east investigates japan's parental abductions on i will just the era of the
