business projects a $5000000000.00 transport corridor that would connect the occupied west bank and gaza. but the long awaited proposal has already been sharply criticized by palestinians and arabs across the region for not including a political solution also in jordan has more as their business leaders and government officials are in mahna mahna to discuss the us his latest effort to resolve the israeli palestinian conflict a $50000000000.00 economic overhaul for the palestinian people and the region the u.s. president's son in law has been working on this plan which relies on both private and public funding since 2017 this effort is better referred to as the opportunity of the century if leadership has the courage to pursue it this is about creating opportunity for the palestinian people this is about creating opportunity for the people throughout the middle east if implemented correctly and competently the

economic plan i will go through now will lead to growth and better lives cushion or end other u.s. officials say this could be the solution to decades of war occupation and mistrust the palestinians disagree they're not at the conference the white house plan ignores a strategy supported for decades by the international diplomatic community negotiated borders and land swaps a guaranteed right of return for palestinian refugees an agreement i'm a legal status of jerusalem and security guarantees for israel even so i repeat it u.s. brokered talks have not succeeded in 2 states living side by side in security and peace by direct message to the palestinian people is that despite what those who have let you down in the past tell you president trump and america have not given up on you this workshop is for you. the vision we developed and released if

executed correctly will lead to a better future for the palestinian people a future of dignity prosperity and opportunity is the gathering worth it if only to highlight its importance ultimately everything will have to be settled between the israelis and the palestinians but what is important is that this meeting illustrates regional support for dennis and other words the arab states are unified. in their support for. peace plan the israeli palestinian conflict once again is getting attention but it's not clear this latest effort will be the way to peace for the palestinians and the israelis rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington struck by the palestinian authority and its rival how massive both announced the u.s. plan accusing trump of trying to buy them off in return for not having their own

state matheson has more now from gaza city. before shouted question of stood up to deliver his opening remarks a speech had already been started by ishmael county a the leader of hamas the group that controls gaza he was making a very impassioned speech to a group of palestinian faction leaders here in gaza city and reiterating the point that palestinians have been making ever since details of this plan 1st came out a few days ago that there can be no economic solution to this situation until the political solution is found in his speech he describes the buckling conference as having been dead already because it carries the seeds of failure he said that the conference did not dictate the fate of palestinians now there was an interesting side note to this speech because he also held out an offer of unity to the leadership of the fatah political party and the fatah and hamas have been at loggerheads for about 13 years ever since hamas took over gaza but this was highly

a saying to the leadership of fatah now is the time to come together now is the time to form some sort of unity government so that we can represent palestinians in the face of this particular deal we are expecting protests to be held in gaza on the web and stayed there is a march that's being arranged to go from the u.n. headquarters here in gaza up to the main square but also later on on wednesday that are expected to be protests at the border with israel and everybody will be watching very carefully to see how israel decides to react to those protests given the level of intricacy and comments that have been happening since this conference and back rain began the conference itself is expected to finish at the end of weight in the city but whether or not the fury that is currently felt by palestinians will end then to as yet to be seen. and on the hurry is

a palestinian jordanian professor at the american university of beirut he told me a little earlier that it's an illusion that the u.s. could be considered a serious mediator in the israeli palestinian conflict it's not a very realistic plan it hasn't been supported. very much at all by people who count in the region and this is a very bizarre attempt by the united states to give the illusion of serious mediation while all of the actions that the united states government has taken in the last 2 years of the trumpet ministration have punished the promise in the ins pressured them. put economic stress on them close political doors to them and then virtually everything that the israeli right wing government of benjamin netanyahu wants done so it's not a very serious process at all as the bahrain conference was getting underway the

u.n. agency responsible for palestinian refugees was asking for more than a $1000000000.00 at its annual pledging conference in new york it's been struggling to cope since the white house cut $300000000.00 of funding last year schip pretenses more now from the u.n. . after the trumpet ministration cut off all funding for the un relief and works agency $42.00 countries stepped up and increased their share of funding in order to make up the shortfall this meeting in part is to remind and should be those donors to ensure that funding continues in 2019 what's fascinating about the timing of this is it does happen on the same day as gerard cushion his workshop in bahrain for the financial aspects of his deal of the century and the same arguments that were being used by gerard cushion or for his deal were being used by jason green blatt the trumpet ministration negotiator for ending funding for the un agency that looks after refugees we're doing this for the palestinians the un refugee agency

isn't good enough for them we want the palestinians to prosper even though as a result of that funding shortfall there could be enormous humanitarian consequences it is also interesting that there is a suspicion here that it is intimately connected to the question of plows that there's a thought in washington perhaps that if you end funding for the u.n. refugee agency the relief the refugee agency that works for the palestinians then perhaps you can say there is no longer a refugee problem there's no issue of the right of return and that's very much on the minds you can tell of delegates of this conference that they want to keep the funding for the u.n. relief and works agency to make sure that the issue of refugees doesn't disappear that the trump administration can't simply say look now that the unruh has gone maybe there is no refugee problem and we can just move on with the deal of the century. the u.s.

president has threatened iran with overwhelming retaliation and obliteration if it attacks anything american made the comment on twitter after the iranian president suggested the white house was idiotic for imposing new sanctions on the supreme leader ali how many tehran says the sanctions could spell a permanent end to diplomacy between the 2 countries zain reports now from tehran. in his 1st public appearance since iran shot down a u.s. surveillance drone last week president hassan rouhani did not hold back he said the latest sanctions targeting iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei are the irrational actions of a confused government. how they are suffering from mental disability the white house is afflicted by mental retardation and does not know what to do with the supreme leader occupies such a protected position in public life that in iran insulting him is illegal in the u.s. applying pariah status to someone so highly revered has angered leaders into iran.

a person loses his mind and does something insane and stupid so what they say they will put sanctions on our leaders property but what is our leaders property a simple house and a ceremony. iran is under such sweeping sanctions that the latest american move is entirely symbolic but later this week washington has said it will add iran's foreign minister zarif to the sanctions list attacking the country's top diplomat is something to her and says permanently close is the path to diplomacy main enemy . if you're being honest and want to negotiate why simple taney asli do you want to impose sanctions on the foreign minister so it is clear that you are lying as the u.s. continues its pressure campaign russia has vowed to help iran counter new u.s. sanctions iran. iran has been and remains our ally and partner and we consistently develop our relations both bilateral and multilateral

which means any attempt to portray tehran as a main threat to regional security or to bring it into line with isis or other terrorist groups is unacceptable to us. but some u.s. officials remain undeterred the president has held the door open to real negotiations to completely and verifiably eliminated iran's nuclear weapons program its pursuit of ballistic missile delivery systems its support for international terrorism and its other malign behavior worldwide all that iran needs to do is to walk through that open door. on tuesday foreign minister zarif said once again iran's religious views mean it will never pursue a nuclear weapon and he also reminded people that america is the only nation to ever drop nuclear bombs on another country and world leaders want cooler heads to prevail and washington keeps saying that it wants to calm things down through dialogue but the decision to sanction iran's supreme leader is something so

insulting that protect ron it might make a negotiated solution nearly impossible. still to come in this half hour tears from the prime minister as ethiopia bids farewell to its military chief who was killed in a coup attack last you by. the latest space x. rocket blasts off with 24 satellites on board and the ashes of a 152 people. hello the weather around the coast of new south wales and southern cuisine could be a bit disappointing in the next day or so that cloud might give a clue but it's more case of wind direction on shore breeze from sydney north will

asking to see children you know we don't have the right to see the facility under the terms of the agreement that we were inside the facility on but we could speak with them so we started calling the young children we started calling children who appeared to have been there for a long time and what we found is that kids were living in overcrowded cells they were eating the same food they were not allowed outside for significant periods of time there was nothing to do you know no sort of child friendly activities at all. and they were dirty they didn't have access regular access to showers or toothbrushes they were wearing the same clothes they had been waiting for weeks and then you know most worryingly there was no there appeared to be no provisions for childcare. international food aid has begun arriving for congolese refugees in uganda who've been displaced by the fighting in eastern democratic republic of congo aid workers are struggling to reach tens of thousands of others who remain
