11:09 am
accords this is they remain that was signed between the israelis and the palestinians of the 1990 s. and some are also criticizing the security or dimension that the palestinian authority is doing with israel but it comes to palestinian officials they would tell you that they are the entity that is represented here presenting the palestinians legally and officially to the international community and they are seeking a more diplomatic approach to deal with the situation but as many palestinians here would tell you they feel that this is not enough there is a p.l.o. executive committee meeting tonight. it also includes members of the central committee of the to the are expected to talk to the international community to ask for a harsher language we've spoken to one of those executive committee members who says that they believe the international community's response so far was too soft neither thank you need to bring him there for us in ramallah the u.n.

envoy for middle east peace tor when his learned tweeted a dire warning and a demand for fire to stop immediately he said we're escalating to words a full scale war leaders on all sides have to take the responsibility of deescalation the cost of war in gaza is devastating and is being paid for by ordinary people the u.n. is working with all sides to restore calm stop the violence now joining us from west jerusalem is jani ben israeli an israeli and arab affairs analyst may thanks for joining us on al-jazeera sir what does israel hope to achieve from these retaliatory attacks on gaza. in self defense protecting its citizens from the surveyed attack rocket attacks by hamas in israel will do everything in its power to
11:11 am
maintain security for the people of israel and fight terrorism unfortunately. choose these days before evil. to cause more suffering and harm to the palestinian people in gaza and by attacking israel and israel has to respond. in self-defense but in what way is israel protecting its citizens what we are seeing is a continued cycle of violence people on both sides continue to die and gaza doesn't have an inevitable a they will feel the brunt of this war. is trying to pinpoint the terrorists we don't have any business with the. people of gaza are suffering also under so lion attack residential buildings
11:12 am
we're not talking residential building pinpointing the hamas terrorist or using these buildings to headquarters and are using the civilians as human shields 1st we call them to evacuate the buildings and after they are evacuated with backing the terrorists that are hiding inside these buildings so why doesn't israel take the 1st step to deescalate you are the more powerful force here. and no we are not the most powerful force that they are more powerful than these royals so if the you think that they're more powerful than these we'll let them try us and we'll see who is stronger why did they go ahead and attack israel why would they do that well actually this latest violence sparked from what was going on in the neighborhood of shaikh gerard in east jerusalem where palestinians are being forced out of their homes now regardless of who owned what 100 years ago do you
11:13 am
think that it is ok to kick people out of their homes and put them out on the streets. i don't know if you search the facts but the city spews initiative just ari's from 2000 to 9 this is a civil dispute between jewish families and palestinian families it's got nothing to do with the people of israel or the government of israel this is something internal and we will respect the court their decision to take out all the court to dispute and to turn to turn it into a pretext to attack israel this is good terrorism. how do you explain that palestinian israelis are demonstrating inside the green line this is something we haven't seen the likes of since intercommunal clashes since the 2nd intifada. unfortunately. the israeli arabs are
11:14 am
a big you cited by year hamas and being incited by their regular muslim israel most of the people the arabs in israel are keeping the law and are of course also extreme elements oh i'm citing the population and i think they're making a mistake and they will pay a heavy price because the other the jewish israeli residents will not accept such a behavior or violating the law they live in the state of israel and they have to respect israeli law. is in the timing of all this very convenient. innocent. given in terms of his political survival he's been struggling he's failed to form a coalition that corruption cases against him his political career is on the brink is this a distraction perhaps for him look you can criticize an attorney
11:15 am
our for many things i'm not defending him but to put the blame on it. is really not fair because he's got nothing to do what is happening this is a evite 11th attack vicious attack of the terror of a massive got nothing to do with netanyahu it did not initiate it's the hamas who initiated this attacks and shot rockets towards jerusalem what is the connection to an attorney are why do everything to bring that that yellow into the picture it's got nothing to do with it is now is the responsibility as the prime minister of israel is to protect the civilians of israel. ok many thanks. if you want to know about each of you i'm real willing to criticize that but you know what he's got nothing to do with disorders everything are ok he is the leader of the country so he is not completely irresponsible from this ok many thanks for your time.
