day as never shown brighter than today in the middle east. i feel said has more on the agreement fun westerns that promised you know in the previous normalization deals has been stressing what it could mean practically for israelis and terms of trade in terms of tourism in this instance he's been talking about the fact that so many hundreds of thousands of moroccan jews came to israel in the early days of zionism and throughout the early days of the israeli state and that that is what he calls a bridge to morocco and so again he's been talking about the fact that there will be these direct flights that people can go and find a family find trace their family histories in morocco presumably that is something that has happened in the past but in terms of organized to a groups having to fly by europe being able to do so independent meet directly will

be a major change for. israeli jews of iraq inherits it's there's been obviously a very different reaction coming from the palestinian side the outgoing member of the executive committee of the p.l.o. how to mush why he has tweeted that between bribery and blackmail the trump administration is in a mad scramble to do whatever it can to extract concessions and benefits towards israel. well this is the 4th deal between israel and an arab country organized by the white house the united arab emirates the 1st to sign in august in september that was followed by an agreement between bahrain and israel 1st attended a signing ceremony at the white house then in october that was the turn of sudan's transitional government now with morocco is added weight behind trump advisor john christians claim that a deal with somebody arabia might happen mike hanna has more from washington d.c. on the u.s. political reaction to the decision president trump in this service acted unilaterally

no consultation with allies or the united nations which is the overarching body discussing the western sahara issue this is once again a trump move taken just by himself with absolutely no consultation whatsoever the meaning of this is that the u.s. position has not been reversed decades of u.s. policy with regard to western sahara as not simply being reversed the u.s. had been alongside a united nations members african union the european union had all insisted that the way to get a peaceful settlement in the region was to get a referendum in western sahara now president trump has simply turned his back on all those years of discussion all those years of policy making and all those years of negotiation that happened and there's already been a consequence a very rare criticism from a republican in the senate jim inhofe has released a statement saying that president trump has traded the voices of the people of the

no voice for this particular peace deal he really critical of president trump for taking this action for reversing u.s. policy now the question is when joe biden comes into office where the heat is follows along with what president trump does which could well anger many of his allies or whether he attempts to reverse the situation which could imperil this peace deal. levon helm's caretaker prime minister hasan dia has been charged with negligence of a devastating explosion of beirut's port 3 of the foreign ministers have also been accused more than $200.00 people were killed in the disaster with thousands in shit and many more left homeless it's unheard of apart from beirut. it's been 4 months since a massive explosion at beirut's port this story didn't damage surrounding neighborhoods killing 200 people and injuring thousands and investigation has yet to provide an explanation on what caused nearly 3000 tons of ammonium nitrate to explode.

prime ministers who've been power since 2014 when the my truth i'm on your shipments going into lebanon so it's very clear that this has been a very selective accusation by the state which includes the major 6 in which you can parties and their leaders. deb repeatedly acknowledged receiving prior warnings about the dangers posed by the ammonium nitrate but he wasn't the only one. so 2 far low and mid-level employees at the port and custom authorities have been charged and that is why there has been so much public anger official correspondence between various branches of government show the president the now caretaker prime minister former and current ministers as well as security officials and judges knew that the large amounts of explosive material were at the port and fail to take action. it was one of the world's biggest non-nuclear explosions and for many it
