potentially given the anger of the trump white house that they've been refusing to to to speak with cirque him or to meet with them used been denied entry to a number of visits that had been agreed some time ago that a move like this would was probably going to be have a little he was too i believe for retirement by the by the end of the year but but clearly it seems you know pushed by by events and pushed by an angry white house so how do you get an exactly the white house has been angry how do you anticipate they will respond to this. well i think on the one hand the white house will will welcome this they'll think this is good they will probably take credit for. being upset about these common sense and wanting

a change been busted or and then seeing the british do what the americans want the british to do i think on the other hand it's it's a it's another sign of of how weak the conservative led government is here in the u.k. a government that's not been able to deliver bracks it not been able to have a majority for its programs in parliament and has also seemingly not stood up much at all for its ambassador in washington who i have to say was making comments the comments themselves are are the kind of thing one would read in the in the practice of about any country including united states i don't think there's anything directly controversial will say talk about those remarks but it's just the way that this is been done through the police investigation now to see if it was the hacking that that led to these papers be released but but definitely a type of. negative campaign to get some more primate critics

it's a little generous locking in place let me jump in for just a moment so the comments that the ambassador made about donald trump and then they get those are posed to be supposed to be in private and then donald trump responds by calling him names publicly calls him wacky calls him stupid does he not that to be some sort of the scutcheon about the fact that the us president speaks that way about others as well. well i think it's it's unpresidential to refer to people especially ambassadors in that way and insert kim's notes that it's been reported it over the weekend he notes a white house that is dysfunctional and that has. someone in president trump who has been erratic and irrational and on reasonable i think that trumps tweets if anything highlights the correctness of the british and

basters remarks so it's a it's a remarkable counter offensive by trump and i think also a remarkable weakness by the british government to do really nothing to to stand by their men in washington at this time to give them no any public support over this and i think this is then very worrying because not only has the british government doing everything in its power to literally roll out the red carpet production of trump true so may the prime minister was the 1st foreign leader to go to the wall to the white house to meet trump after he was elected they brought him over for a state visit the 1st american president to meet the queen more quickly than any other american presidents and in decades if not ever of all to get trump to like some wonderful free trade deal if only practice it could be sorted and all these things have been blowing up fantastically in their face that trump is really not

thanked them for their efforts and other ambassadors that britain has and will not comment on that they be careful what they state because if these things are leaked it will not be getting support by the government tom bracks we really appreciate your insight on this on this breaking story joining us from tehran united kingdom thank you. so the headlines on al-jazeera as we've been reporting the you can't ascertain united states has resigned after a dispute with u.s. president donald trump trump and called him derek stupid and wacky that was in response to leaked diplomatic memos criticizing the us president a minister theresa may has just addressed parliament on the issue. thank you mr speaker mr speaker this morning i have spoken to sit him down i have told him the truth is a matter of great regret that he has felt it necessary to leave his position right

turkey says it will keep drilling for oil and gas around cyprus despite e.u. and u.s. condemnation the u.s. state department says turkey is being provocative by sending 2 ships to explore off the coast of the politically divided island are the headlines keep it here on al-jazeera more to come and start story is next. it was declared illegal 15 years ago israel's separation wall still stands and continues to affect the lives of palestinians in the occupied west bank israel argues it's protecting its security but at what cost to peace this is insight story .

hello and welcome to the program. 15 years ago the international court of justice ruled against israel's separation wall it said the state cannot use the right of self-defense to build and maintain the barrier for palestinians it's a symbol of military occupation and an attempt by israel to grab more land once completed the ball will stretch through the occupied west bank and east jerusalem that's a length of over 700 kilometers it's affected the lives of hundreds of thousands of palestinians and the number over illegal israeli settlements has gone up in the meantime we're bringing our guests in just a moment but 1st need to abraham sets up our discussion from. the town of

east of jerusalem has been living in the shadow for 15 years. its economy was booming in the 1990 s. when the town in jerusalem to many cities in the occupied west bank. it looks more like a ghost town now. since the israeli government ordered the building of the separation 12002 the wall has blocked the town's main road limiting access to people and products hundreds of shops have closed their doors and thousands of people have left carpenter is one of a few who decided to keep his business open but it's very different to when he entered the workshop in the year 2009. no the only carpenters there are him and his partner like the town's economy their business has been cut right back. this is one of the most vivid areas and were a few meters away from an israeli industrial area this area was bustling with businesses and people going back and forth now we rely on

a few customers the contrast between the 2 sides of the wall can be seen vividly here and also heard on the israeli side there is the loud noise of construction works on the palestinian side that sides. as palestinians are being pushed out on their side of the wall because of land confiscation more israelis are taking advantage such as a. in the north of the occupied west bank. and is really military order confiscated palestinian lands there for building the wall israelis build a stable on it. palestinian fears have increased since israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu announced plans to annex parts of the west bank if you die who will have the main goal in the israeli agenda is to grab more lands push more people out especially those living in east jerusalem the wall helps israel build more settlements extending existing ones and consolidate them in the palestinian territory our own 65 percent of the israeli separation wall is complete the rest is

under construction and when it's finished is expected to take up to 10 percent of all land in the occupied west bank many palestinians say the main purpose of israel's policy is to make life so unbearable they have no option but to leave me deborah him as the occupied west bank. or let's bring in our panel in ramallah we have. assistant minister for multilateral affairs at the palestinian foreign ministry in west jerusalem we have a senior fellow at pico hellat policy forum and a professor of law and bar iran university and in beirut we're joined by the professor president rather of the sensor for defending civil rights and liberties and a former reach officer for the arab region at the international criminal court said like to extend a welcome to all 3 of you to start this discussion this comes of course on the 15th

anniversary of that just judgment from the i.c.j. if i could start with you what has changed effectively since that judgment was passed. more violations of course of international law and international humanitarian law has been committed in the palestinian territories by the israeli governments more persistence of the veto holders on a backing these violations by blocking any efforts to issue sanctions against israel for violating over $38.00 is all you sharon of condemnation and criticism for its policies within the palestinian terrorists it's clear that international justice will not be achieved by simply establishing international justice is the dishes systems and entities political will is a necessity in the veto system ok if i could come to you know i have

a bow what would you say this has changed in the 15 years is that judgment or unfortunately very little i think that the what the judgment was was an opportunity for the court to reject political interpretations of international law and give a professional legal opinion particularly on the illegality of palestinian terrorism instead what the court did was it gave a free pass to palestinian terrorists and announced that israel had no legal right to defend its citizens from being murdered which is a proposed was conclusion unfortunately we're still seeing an i.c.j. that is politicized and palestinian terrorist comes continue to enjoy impunity from international law. as they would you agree with thoughts i'm guessing you would. certainly with on. terrorism the certainly what we see on daily bases in our streets by the settlers illegal settlers and colonial army that occupies us and has

been denying us our rights for so long this is the real terrorism that our people live in and out every day but in relation to your earlier question in relation to the international court we think that the legal most prestigious and important legal body in the war has defied all the law is that israel has been spreading for the international community about security and about its right to defend itself and came forth and said that what israel is doing is basically a land grab and more land theft from the palestinians and it has to bring an end this this kind of practice yes the wall of piñon has not formulated yet in a position whereby israel is being held accountable for its violations but it will come the time where this very important advisory opinion will be implemented

palestine has moved in so many fronts legally in relation to that opinion but still the international world is absent and holding israel accountable at so many violations that it has been committing against our people is still a long path to walk but we will be walking that path and we will see all busy criminals before international course being held accountable for fully very soon if i could if i could comment on that point the where there seems to be a disconnect really between whether this is a judgment that is a political judgment or a legal judgment and if there is so much faith being placed in the legal system where it's up hold and he would implement this. yes i mean the court was very clear when it came to this judgment the court has put the answers on the occupying power of the colonial israeli regime to implement its

duties by ending the building of the wall by compensating and rapper it in making reparation for the palestinians for the. damages that has been resulted from the building of this wall and to end all its illegal practices in the occupied palestinian territory the court also said and reminded the world including israeli occupation that the palestinians right to self-determination is an go on this right in which all states vested interest in implementing the court further called on the international community not to recognize israel's illegal practices and ask them and this actually happened nobody recognizes and illegitimacy of any land grab or and its attempt to annex any palestinian land by israel including its illegal colonial settlement regime in the

war or you can request i'm sorry to that you are sir and the general assembly i margins and i'm sorry to cut you off but you know these these judgments and lasting these reservations are passed but they are not being implemented so my my blunt question again is what is the points of relying on these judgments if there is if there is no one say if there is no one to enforce these judgments. i mean it depends on what kind of 4 do you wish or we wish to live in these judgments have exactly the from now ca sion of what the law delineates in terms of rights and obligations and it doesn't mean the absence of application on the ground which we see now because of the sense of any kind of accountability top pocket buying power is not being implemented that does not mean that this gives is really in the ouse of fright in the occupied palestinian that at the at the same level it does not deny the palestinians that right now when it comes to application it requires as

has been said by your 1st guest it requires international and i think the international will is being built towards that and with the exception of for of course the current us administration but we are seeing so many movements around the world ready in the church which is holding israel accountable at so many levels and the basis upon which this is really. colonial regime is being held accountable is the visor opinion international law and the basis of international human rights and international humanitarian law ok i'll let you give you a chance to respond to that i. well very briefly there's a gap here but it's not between israeli behavior and international law it's between the rhetoric of international law and the reality of it the reality is this that the palestinians can say up is down and down is up and the general assembly will vote yes and the i.c.j.

will say yes and there are a large group of international institutions that don't matter what bizarre claim the palestinians make such as that they are allowed to murder israeli civilians with impunity and that a high invasion on a land is simply fair afy pal that is most certainly a claim that is being made that is a claim that was just made right now and that when he said that there is no terrorism that is being carried out by the palestinians by the way just a day after a jerusalem district court held the palestinian authority for terrorist attacks that murdered hundreds of israeli civilians in the years before the barrier was was created so as long as the palestinians keep trying to turn upside down international law and disobey ng it they're not going to get any results israel has the there's a very strong political current in israel to abate international law but when there are international institutions that use international rhetoric international law rhetoric in an upside down fashion which they pronounced down up and up down there

is less and less respect you.
