everyone has a voice and allow refugees to be the speakers for change joining us hello bill conversation on our. list of the ins prepare for a seventeenth week of protests along the israel gaza border as they demand an end to the siege at the church. oh i didn't forgive this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up ignoring the outrage donald trump invites vladimir putin to the u.s. despite the fallout from the helsinki meeting. france president about crawl hours

to public pressure he far as a body go after he was caught on camera beating a student protest plus. the number of modern day slavery in those wealthy countries is much higher i am still a new study says that forty million people are living as slaves in some of the world's richest nations. and other political factions are calling on palestinians in gaza to defy warnings from israel and join weekly protests near the border fence it's the seventeenth week of the demonstrations that have seen at least one hundred forty palestinians killed more than sixteen thousand people have been injured in the past four months israel is once again warning that if protesters continue to send burning balloons and kites over the fence its military will retaliate earlier this week israel

tightened its blockade on gaza meanwhile how mass is accepted an egyptian proposal to end its disputes with a rival palestinian faction bus there's been no official response from the group all this against the backdrop of a new and controversial nation state law that cements jewish identity is the central theme of israeli citizenship al-jazeera stratford reports. the skies over gaza have turned black with smoke from burning tires every friday for months now israeli army snipers and all the troops have killed around one hundred forty palestinians since the e.p. protests started in march thousands of others have been injured protests to say they'll continue to fly kites in balloons carrying petrol bombs and burning ranks across the border into israel lifts its twelve years siege of gaza israel says fires started by the protesters have destroyed three areas of farmland and crops

this protester who insisted we hide his identity says life in gaza has become so one bearable he and his friends are determined to force change. a shade in the middle is a definite fact our aim is to end the siege completely the situation in gaza is unbearable often no lecture city not enough medicine no good life unemployment there's no future for young people here we use simple materials like the incendiary balloons to protest this is the palestinian way so what would it take for israel to begin to lift the siege on gaza and potentially and the protests some experts say the solution has a lot to do with ending rivalry between palestinian political factions israel began its land and sea blockade on gaza in two thousand and seven when hamas took control here now there are some analysts that say that unless there is reconciliation between hamas and fatah and a unity government useful then israel sea and the violence between hamas and israel

will continue. repeated egyptian efforts to broker reconciliation deal between hamas and fatah have failed. the refusal by hand to hand control of gaza's internal security to the fatah dominated palestinian authority is a main sticking point another involves paying the salaries of twenty thousand homeless employees hamas has reportedly accepted the latest egyptian proposal and he's waiting for fatah to respond we need to talk about cease fire but it's to nicholas emission election within the society making political fundament that would go to for intelligent how else to be a part of the legitimate palestinian political system this is how we fight with deeds a finalist status a settlement and if. some israeli politicians have called for a full blown military offensive against hamas to stop the kites and balloons.

houses young palestinians have every right to protest against the blockade using what it calls peaceful means a committee representing all political factions in gaza has called on palestinians to protest again on friday the seventeenth week in a row strafford al-jazeera gaza sultan varicose is the director of the center for conflict and humanitarian studies at the doha institute he joins us now live from amman let's talk about that that egypt broke broke a deal that hamas has said it now accept with fatah what do you make of it i think it's an important step but these efforts have been going on for four months ever since december last year the they've not been able to progress the hamas. p.a. talks very much on the side of the egyptians it is actually quite positive that egypt

is willing to deal directly with hamas which means they're no longer holding them responsible as they used to for all sorts of attacks in sinai or associations with so-called terrorist groups in sinai and i think it can bring some hope for management of borders between gaza and egypt and hopefully relieving a little bit of pressure in gaza what about gaza and its relationship with the west bank that how will fatah respond. there are no two ways about it i mean five to his demanding full control of security in the gaza strip and i suspect hamas would be happy to hand that over to to the p.a. as long as they guarantee their ability to continue their right to resist occupation and to build towards any potential. encounter with the israelis now the p.a.

is unlikely to agree to that and i think that's going to remain an issue of difference between the two the issue of the civil service and the people who have been either hired by hamas or added to the figures of civil service in gaza and the payment of the salaries that should really be easy to resolve if anything if nothing it will be resolved on the humanitarian basis given the level of unemployment in the in the area it's almost forty nine percent and as you know fifty three percent of the people live on the poverty line so paying salaries is really should be seen as a humanitarian act in the first instance but how the protests among the the gaza border with israel playing into the politics right now. i mean as you know the protests started driven by civil society groups and to my mind it's

a demonstration of the level of. frustration they reach with both hamas and the p.a. it is unlikely to stop people who feel did not achieve their objectives they paid a very high price there more than a hundred forty young men and women getting shelled drin killed and many more injured so the only way forward is to continue formal demonstration there's no point of demonstrating in inner city areas so the only place they can demonstrate is by the border to israel know the innovation in terms of tools of attack that we see today in terms of using kites balloons sitra is again to me is a sign of desperation these people are having to find any possible way to. hurt or at least upset the israelis in order to draw attention to their cause they are

almost two million people living in an open air prison for the last twelve years and something has got to be done about it is totally unsustainable south america could talk to so many thanks indeed for being with us. the u.s. president total trump has asked his administration to invite russia's leader vladimir putin to washington later this year it follows criticism of his summers in helsinki with putin earlier in the week however trump has backed away from putin's offer of a joint investigation into alleged meddling in the twenty sixteen election is a white house correspondent kimberly how could. after days of doubt about his allegiance to his own country u.s. president donald trump delivered some of his toughest talk yet and a threat to russia's president vladimir putin about their relationship will be the worst enemies ever had the worst he's ever had but for days trungpa signaled a willingness to work with putin despite overwhelming evidence of russia's
