7:07 am
not an honest broker and they believe that its alliance with israel means that any settlement that they propose will be tilted in favor of the israelis and the question they ask here is that if they care so much about our economic conditions that. siege on gaza and why did the us administration decide to cut funding to the united nations relief and works agency which is the only organization providing help to these people living on the host country is also not attending the conference in solidarity with the palestinians lebanese officials fear that the deal of the century of the so-called deal of the century will involve naturalizing and resettling palestinian refugees in the host country something that this country says it will not accept. now saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin sound man begins a 2 day visit to south korea on wednesday ahead of this weekend's g. 20 summit in japan it's the highest level visit to south korea by a saudi leader in more than 2 decades and it's the crown prince's fast foreign
