israel is not helping to solve the situation in the middle east it is destabilizing it and it can wipe out the prospect of peace or maybe kirby this utilitarian to tune in could. the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel has caused outrage in the whole world it has caused disappointment and it is an irresponsible step to take a as a result the heightened tensions are obvious putin and i don't also discussed bilateral issues including trade tourism and joint energy projects relations between uncrowned will score have come a long way since november two thousand and fifteen when turkey doand a russian fighter jet the two didn't see eye to eye on most issues regarding syria but still have differences on the future role of president bashar al assad and the issue of syrian kurdish fighters the wife e.g. put in began his wall when chip in syria the fust time the russian president was

aim of it to clear the palestinian cause that's the danger that the palestinian people face we should confront the nation as a whole should confront this dangerous american project and try to impose a solution for the palestinian people. now palestinians are also voicing condemnation of what some say is arab collusion with israel the anger runs so deep all it took was a rumor that a bahraini delegation to israel was planning to visit gaza in order for that to spot protests elevation of from occupied east jerusalem. that's the only body of a really delegation is kept a relatively low profile since arriving at the weekend the time zone interview requests twenty five people from makes me think rupe city want to build peace and cooperation the visit was organized by a jewish group the simon wiesenthal center in los angeles but one expert says the timing sends a terrible message as that ali is they were trying to bust out of this. in the media that them in this group coming from bahrain and all kind of

relation you know with the with the arab world is the usual routine protests across jerusalem in the occupied west bank says donald trump and i used his unilateral decision that the u.s. would recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel has been widespread condemnation across the world to the group says it's trip had been planned for months it was reported locally that the bahraini delegation wanted to visit a mosque while they were here a senior official at the mosque said that given the trip was facilitated by the israelis they would not be welcomed. of course on social media suggested the group was heading to gaza it sparked protests at the crossing with israel with locals determined to block them there's no confirmation the group ever planned to visit gaza one palestinian political analyst believes the bahraini visit is part of a bigger global picture than in the un body and maybe in moderate also they began to be many can because this is something wanted to go in there wanted to shoot to

wound to make in their relation with israel and america against iran because that they may be mere began to be notoriously ill with that's difficult for us. really delegation include sunni and shia muslims christians or hindu under sikh we will leave on wednesday alan fischer al jazeera in occupied east jerusalem. well palestinian leaders are facing questions to after that u.s. declaration of jerusalem. reports from the occupied west bank people are frustrated after living under israeli occupation for decades he has witnessed every clash for the past three years as so many have erupted near the petrol station where he works he doesn't join in but understands the motivation especially after trump's declaration over jerusalem. it was a real bad feeling for everyone it's like an insult but don't want to be able to do anything at all either has only been to drusilla twice that's how often israel has

granted him permission still like every palestinian he considers it the only capital for a future palestinian state this is the closest point many palestinians can reach even though the city is less than a half hour's drive from this checkpoint but to go through it they need special permission from the israelis and that's very difficult to come by. well cohen is from jerusalem he lived abroad for several years but decided to return home so his wife and children could get their residency twenty years later his daughter who is still waiting for hers. i don't have an id i don't have any proof that i'm a living human being i might not get my papers but i'm holding on to my rights best can't refute trump's decision he won't meet the american vice president but what else can he do the palestinian authority has come under criticism for being too lenient it was established after the courts and many say it should be dissolved

since they agree mint has gone nowhere it's easy to say throw it away it's not something that you threw away this is an achievement the issue is you have to capitalize on it their issue is that you should not accept what is. this or sort of you to be when i say a service provider i don't want this or corrupted to be a service provider only for the people that use ability can do that mahomet's abound there has traveled far and wide but never set foot in the holy city despite repeatedly applying for a permit he thinks that palestinians now need new blood and the new vision we have a resistance movement in gaza the did nothing we have who believe in peace and the . nothing for us that's mean we want to find a number of choices what is the tone and who's claim that he is leader for palestinians should find this choice is perhaps for him as late as cartoons express

better than words how palestinians feel these days the peace process was a ready a shipwreck trump killed it with the help of arab leaders who are a dimmer see of the united states and jerusalem was ultimate christmas present what up that have made al-jazeera in the occupied west bank. amnesty international is accusing european governments of being complicit in the abuse of thousands of refugees in their efforts to stem migration in a report titled libya's dark web of collusion the human rights group says the e.u.'s policy of containment shows little care for the consequences for those trapped in libya one example given is the funding by european governments of the libyan coast guard to intercept migrants at sea these refugees are then sent to detention centers where they suffer abuse and exploitation up to twenty thousand people currently remain contained in overcrowded buildings the report also says the e.u. is aware of corruption within libya's coast guard accusing them of working with people
