protest the ongoing settler attacks against them that are often quite carried out with impunity the diminishing hope of having a state or being free remember these people mostly are young they were born after the palestinian authority was established in the 1990 s. and they've seen the leaders on and on talk about them having a state and they're only seeing the lands on which the state the supposed to be established shrinking and harry fossett is in share in occupied east jerusalem it's a district where palestinians are threatened with losing their homes to israeli settlers he says internal conflicts are escalating there. occupied east jerusalem outside of israel has also been a scene in recent days of pretty clear instances of racial violence there was a jewish person attacked by a palestinian group close to the city walls of the old city the other day and

3:17 am
house correspondent kimberly how quiet on the u.s. political reaction to the israel palestine conflict in particular what the white house press secretary as had to say. she is continuing to do some clean up the comments by the u.s. president joe biden on thursday where he stated that the response by israel is in his view not significant and for a 2nd day agent psaki found herself having to address those comments by the president saying that in no way was this a minimizing loss of life that in fact the united states is working very hard and mourns the loss of every life whether palestinian or israeli take a listen to what she had to say israel has the right to self-defense our focus remains on continuing to use every lever at our disposal to deescalate the situation on the ground i think it's also important to remind people a mosque is
3:18 am
a terrorist organization hamas does not represent the views of the families of the people who are suffering all of the palestinian people who are suffering as a result of this violence on but there is no justification for 1500 rockets coming from hamas so the argument being made by the white house press secretary as you heard there that she doesn't believe there's any justification for any firing of rockets what the white house is being accused of not just in the united states but around the world is being very selective about the starting point and once again completely ignoring many of the facts on the ground including those forced evictions of many palestinian families from occupied east jerusalem all of them on the u.s. reaction that speaks to richard good scene who is a democratic strategy any former advisor to president bill clinton and hillary clinton as well his 5 from washington very good to have you with us mr goodstein why why is a biden administration struggling to come up with
3:19 am
a stronger response to this conflict is it intentional i mean why send a low level envoy to israel and not the actual secretary of state. well there are look joe biden knows the region by virtue of having carried the international court folio when he was vice president for president obama and chair of the senate foreign relations committee he is not new to this conflict and i think he has a sense of proportion here obviously what's happening the loss of life is terrible i think he's trying by virtue of sending somebody who's not the secretary of state trying to do it in a way that's new once and communicates that yes as he has said in this press secretary said this this final sleep to come to an end i think he says using his best judgment about how to go about doing that right we're hearing more voices within the democratic party who say the u.s. should also put pressure on israel more democrats slowly becoming critical of
3:20 am
israel vermont senator bernie sanders was a jew who is jewish by the way wrote a very interesting essay in the new york times saying israel has the absolute right to live in peace and security risks of had heard before of course from from the u.s. but so do the palestinians he said and he said we must recognize that palestinian lives matter could these voices within the democratic party be transformative could we see a shift as a result of this. i don't think anybody should hold their breath on that. bernie sanders got a lot of support when he ran for president from people who more supportive of palestinians than they were of israel the 2 times he ran for president that side lost joe biden i think is not trying to do anything untoward as toward the palestinians but i think his feeling is when people talk about proportionality yes it's probably a legitimate grievance that these families have in east jerusalem who are being
3:21 am
displaced but 2000 rockets being fired at the most densely populated cities in israel itself it's not a proportional response and i think his thinking is let's stop that and then we can we can talk about how to move a pet forward look donald trump turned his back on this whole process for 40 years he cut all these deals with other countries but he acted as if the palestinians didn't exist that's in part what joe biden inherited here right and so how does a change that now can can biden credibly continue to claim to support a 2 state solution when on the ground when you look at what's happening on the ground right now it doesn't look like a 2 state solution is to impossible because of continuing israeli settlement expansion and so on. right so there are 2 problems obviously one is that rockets coming out of gaza and the incoming from the israeli military that's
3:22 am
a problem that frankly the international community will address its. apologies. we have lost our connection to richard corsi now unfortunately very interesting to talk to him but hopefully we will be having this discussion with him later if we're able to reconnect let's is he back richardson to hammy yes sorry sorry go ahead sorry about that we were talking about it called me a we were talking about this when a new 2 state solution was still a possible record option i think it's fair to say that so long as bibi netanyahu is the head of israel the prospects for a 2 state solution or not strong i think anybody who says otherwise is kidding themselves but we also know that bibi netanyahu is it legal problem trouble he's in political trouble he's had such a hard time putting together a government and i think if in fact there is a new government that's installed then i think joe biden is probably the perfect
3:23 am
person to be in the white house to help usher in the prospect of for a lasting 2 state solution in the middle east thank you for talking to us richard gosain i there in washington thank you thank you. in other world news an outspoken supporter of former u.s. president donald trump has been elected to a senior leadership role in the republican party 36 year olds new york congresswoman and a stephanie was voted in as house conference chair woman on wednesday incumbent chairwoman least cheney was voted out over her criticism of donald trump john hendren has more from washington. although donald trump's reputation has taken a bit of a hit since he left office he is still popular with a solid majority of republican voters according to most polls and he made it known that he did not like the fact that liz cheney was speaking out against him and yet was a member of the republican party leadership holding the number 3 post that of the

3:25 am
to speak out against him and there's a lot of talk that liz cheney herself might be the one republican voice with this strength to oppose the other wing the donald trump wing of the republican party and run herself in 2024 the u.s. is carnivorous vaccination campaign has expanded to include all young people aged $12.00 to $15.00 it comes as a well tell for going ization calls on wealthy countries to donate vaccines for children to its kovacs scheme which is helping no income countries acquire jobs but us particle hand reports the biden administration doesn't seem to heed that call. it's not often that you see kids actually excited to get a vaccination shot but that was before kovac and the confidence that comes with a vaccine i was glad because now i can be like safer and soon will be able to like be out soon and do normal things i think it's cool that it's at school because i can see like all my fellow classmates getting it and that i know that like people

to the vaccine supply lower risk groups are now being vaccinated. i understand why some countries willing to blacks who need their children and adolescents. but right now i urge them to go to reconsider and to is to donate vaccines to kovacs the body ministration has given no indication that they're even considering that given the political fallout would be fierce so now in community centers like this one all over the country teens are being vaccinated up next kids from 6 months old to 12 years old that decision is expected in september political hay al-jazeera maryland. the 1st rise carrying excited tourists have arrived in greece intersections were ease on visitors from a short list of countries it's allowing visitors who are vaccinated or tested
