12:23 pm
neatest. foreign minister but will he get the unity that he needs. this is what the palestinian authority is betting on they're trying to stay relevant in this issue specifically that they see that there is a gap between them and between the palestinian street so they're trying to prove to the street that the diplomatic approach can be successful and he's asking anything the situation we've seen again and again the palestinians going to the arab league to the argument is ation of islamic cooperation to condemn the arab states we're normalizing relations with israel sometimes they were able to get. in from the arab league asking for more countries not to be normalizing with israel other times we've seen that house to me and presidency disappointed even if they didn't say it
12:24 pm
publicly from the international and an islamic position so this is a tough one it's the palestinian authority needs this to be able to stay relevant in the recent escalation so we've heard charging words from the palestinian foreign minister he said that these that these normalization deals harm the palestinians in israeli occupations with jeems. so he was trying to appeal to these countries to do what he needed them to do and condemn israel and put an end to this recent this collation. oh i see the organization corporation includes many islamic countries from iran turkey into the range of muslim majority nations what is a sense around the world about what's happening give us an idea from those nations . many palestinians here feel that the nations of the arab out
12:25 pm
islamic countries stand by them and their hearts are with the palestinian people. but they fear that those regina's have interests are some of these regions have interests with israel and they are trying to maintain that relationship of course there are countries that publicly support the palestinians like indonesia imagine even palestinians they don't have many countries in the world even arab countries that they can go in without having a visa but if you go to indonesia you can be given a visa on the spot so this is just one element of support that indonesia for example has given the palestinians so they feel that there is a support by some regimes but they definitely feel that the people there are supporting them they are watching some of these demonstrations that are going on in the world in support of the palestinian people some who are telling us that they are feeling. encouraged by the international support others that we've seen in certain protests here in the occupied west bank say that they've relied and they've
12:26 pm
waited so long for the international community to step up and it doesn't seem to be that that that they are so they feel like you know what we should be taking matters in our own hands. this morning but what about the you know the. us president joe biden has called the palestinian president mahmoud our best and according to the palestinian news agency where the u.s. president stressed the importance of the escalation and the palestinian president has discussed with him ways to engage in a political process with the quartet this is a body that consists of the u.n. e.u. russia and the us and it's been one of the bodies in charge and helping to words having died if then in direct negotiations between the palestinians and israelis so the palestinian president has a real reaffirmed their readiness to engage with the quartet in
12:27 pm
a helpful piece or at least in a process. could lead to the end of the occupation but if you see the palestinians 3 to the word negotiation i can assure you that many of them would be angry we've seen protests against negotiations by the palestinian people because they believe that while negotiations are going on the ground israel is imposing facts and expanding its league in settlements and continuing its occupation party to thank for that in the ramallah well families of victims of the strikes have been holding funerals across gaza and a warning to viewers are disturbing images from the very beginning of norbert manny's report. at the funeral of a child in the city of rafah in southern gaza i'm a woman in shock says only children playing with their toys mothers grandmothers and families left inconsolable yet it was an. innocent victims of
