5:00 am
al jazeera. and. this is al-jazeera. well i'm daryn jordan this is the al-jazeera news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes john bolton is out president trump science is national security adviser saying they disagreed on many issues as. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu draws international condemnation for pledging to comics parts of the occupied west bank. celebrations of the how to data sure attend deadly in iraq. paid kills at least 31 people. and a warning about a looming humanitarian crisis going back enough fighting us on the lives of
5:01 am
thousands of people upside down. welcome to the program one of the most powerful people in the white house is now out of a job national security adviser john bolton insists he'll resign but u.s. president donald trump says he was fired because of disagreements over foreign policy when bolton was known as a whole coup wants the u.s. to take a hard line stance against countries like iran venezuela and north korea has more now from washington d.c. you're going to do a fantastic job and i appreciate that there had been growing divisions between john bolton that his boss but the end was brutal even by the standards of this white house donald trump tweeting i informed john bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the white house i disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions as did others in the administration. therefore i asked for his
5:02 am
resignation which was given to me this morning bolton tweeted not the usual thanks for being able to set but an insistence he quit rather than being fired at a news briefing at the white house which bolton was initially listed to attend stephen secretary of state might pompey defended the president's decision the president's entitle to the staff that he wants that at any moment the staff person who works directly for the president states and he should have people the trust and values if there were many times in basketball that i disagree that's to be sure but that's true for lots and lots of people who with whom i interact john bolton was donald trump started national security advisor the longest serving so far but with his stated positions of using military force in iran and north korea he was annoyed fit for a president whose isolationist america 1st policy wanted to reduce the u.s. military footprint reason only told him was against talking to north korea against pulling u.s. troops out of syria and against the president's latest idea of inviting afghanistan's
5:03 am
taliban to peace talks at camp david that seems to have been the breaking point we have seen from this and from every other firing but what he really wants are people that echo what he already wants to do and with bolton's opposition gone there could be obvious changes for example that there's a better chance the president will meet with his a really in counterpart president made very clear is prepared to meet with no preconditions before he became president donald trump considered john bolton for the role of secretary of state but ultimately decided against it because he felt he didn't look the part mainly because of his mr bush now after 18 months is the national security adviser john bolton once again finds that his face doesn't fit alan fischer al-jazeera at the white house when i talk to alison peters she's deputy director of the national security program at 3rd way that's a national think tank and she joins us live from washington d.c. alison president trump said he fired bolton bolton says no that's not true he
5:04 am
resigned either way he is out of the door did bolton sucking come as a surprise. well thank you very much for having me on i think for those of us who have closely followed the administration bolton's firing comes as no surprise the only surprise here is that it took so long alternately president trump wants to position himself as a deal maker and he's willing to make a deal at any cost and john bolton opposed him at every turn but it wasn't bolton's dangerous world view that seemed to really irk president trump it was that bolton was positioning himself as a key decision maker on a whole host of issues related to global conflicts which comes directly in direct contradiction to president trump's ego and as you say alison bolton had many foreign policy differences with trump particularly over afghanistan russia and iran
5:05 am
just took us briefly through what those differences were because bolton wanted a much more hawkish approach to u.s. foreign policy. that's correct john bolton to his core is a hawk he believes that military intervention is the best option on the table to deal with america's diverse array of foreign policy challenges he believes in trying to squeeze america's adversaries until they capitulate and he firmly firmly opposes working with allies and alliances and in multi lateral institutions now on that point he shares agree mench with president trump but on his use of military force and his desire to intervene in conflicts around the globe he disagrees strongly with president trump president trump has been an isolationist he campaigned on that he's pursuing negotiations on
5:06 am
a number of conflicts the challenge for president trump is whether or not he takes negotiation seriously and listens to america's longtime diplomats which he has not shown that he's willing and able to do but he does believe in the power of negotiations which john bolton firmly opposes ok so what sort of differences then we long to see in u.s. foreign policy now that bolton is gone but secondly other issues like iran where trump has said he would be willing to meet the iranians without preconditions but we know that john bolton would never agree to that. well look i think ultimately the prospects for restarting negotiations with iran for restarting negotiations with the taliban and starting negotiations on a number of conflicts is better now that john bolton and his dangerous viewpoints are out of office again i think ultimately the question will be whether or not president trump is willing to take those negotiations seriously doing the homework
5:07 am
that's required to advance u.s. foreign policy objectives in those negotiations not just for the sake of getting a deal but getting a good deal for the united states and willing to put america's diplomats at the forefront in those negotiations he's not shown yet that he's willing to do so but ultimately the prospects for peace negotiations in actually securing peace in afghanistan is greater now that bolton is out anderson just a final thought from you before you go i mean was john bolton perhaps a casualty of u.s. domestic politics in a funny way because bolton wanted a much harder line on afghanistan russia iran and so on west wants to get out of afghanistan and political out of syria just peeled his base for the 2020 election campaign so bolton wasn't telling trump what trump wants to hear. yes i mean i think absolutely a bolt in is an old way of thinking in some ways fright there is no constituency
5:08 am
really left in the republican party for his hawkish viewpoints and favoring of military intervention and i think ultimately the american people are tired of endless war tired of america going to war around the globe and in some ways donald trump understands that he's embraced negotiations over the use of military force and in some ways bolton being fired is a result of where the american population is at right now i think again though you have to question donald trump ultimately did hire john bolton in the 1st place and so the question now becomes whether or not he's willing to actually put in a national security advisor who's shares his desire to advance negotiations around the globe or if he will put in another individual who sees military force who has a hawkish world view as the best and only option on the table and i think that
5:09 am
question jury still is out on that or it's allison peters we have to leave it there thank you very much indeed for talking to al-jazeera thank you very much arab states have condemned the campaign pledge by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to the next part of the occupied west bank they say his plan would violate international netanyahu said the trumpet ministrations so-called deal of the century would provide an historic opportunity for extending israeli sovereignty over the west bank and other areas are a force that has more now from western. benjamin netanyahu has a habit of promising dramatic announcements in the run up to elections and he did so again on tuesday when it came it was not a unilateral decision about amec sation as some had predicted instead the message to right wing settler voters was a vote for netanyahu would in concert with the trumpet ministration mean extending israeli sovereignty to all illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and in the
5:10 am
shorter term the annexation of the jordan valley yes. there is one place where it's possible to apply israeli sovereignty immediately after the election if i receive a clear mandate to do so from you the citizens of israel in recent months of little diplomatic effort in this direction in recent days the conditions for this have ripened today i'm announcing my intention to apply with the formation of the next government israeli sovereignty on the jordan valley and northern to see. the jordan valley represents some 30 percent of the occupied west bank and some of its most fertile agricultural land israeli policy has long been that it needs to retain control there for national security but the prospect of a unilateral israeli annexation as netanyahu is promising would explode any faint remaining hopes of a viable palestinian state alongside israel keeping palestinians inside there's a small towns and villages as prisoners without any freedom that is a war crime and has about as we are about to enter the 74th session or the general
5:11 am
assembly of the united nations ventre national community must stand thought of now or to see a big no and to stop treating it as a country above the laws of man at the united nations there was further condemnation such a prospect would be devastating to the potential of reviving negotiations regional peace and the very essence of a 2 state solution but there is a hugely important caveat to all this to enact his plan netanyahu 1st has to win the election then create a right wing coalition government that would in dorset and then push it through in the face of international pressure and by then and intensifying battle against his own corruption charges israelis i've heard him talk annexation before without following through that's a point political opponents and political analysts were making even before netanyahu had finished talking this is electioneering at its best there is no connection between what the prime minister said today and what's going to happen after the election whether he's elected or not this is what i like to say is
5:12 am
israeli elections are very much like las vegas and hotels in las vegas what happens during israeli elections stays in israeli elections. later at another campaign event in southern israel netanyahu was briefly rushed from the stage sirens sounding the israeli military said rockets had been fired out of gaza a dramatic end to a day when whether he makes good on it or not he confirmed his position as one entirely at odds with a 2 state solution the concept that remains the international consensus on how the israeli palestinian conflict should end perry force an al-jazeera western. for more on rabbani is a senior fellow at the institute for palestine studies he says this latest move shouldn't come as a surprise i think that operating principle for israel has always spent backs and not about generals or about arabs and therefore you will see them seeking to annex settlements to an extent actually like the jordan valley which is fact that we've
5:13 am
already been ethnically close you know the past decade but not panicked. past idiot population centers like your own valley and elsewhere the key issue of course is how will the region. wants because one could make the argument that these accidents station or in effect the laws of that nation of 50 years of colonial expansion in the west bank to which the international community and primarily u.s. europe have a blind eye and never confront it is the serious faults of its behavior meanwhile israel has launched a series of air strikes on gaza the israeli army says 15 targets were hit officials say the strikes were in response to rockets launched from gaza on tuesday there were no reports of casualties. so it's coming your knowledge is there including. i'm natasha barclay in paris where a new exhibition offers
