of the trees planted are either dying or already dead. and while polluting countries have recently pledged billions of dollars more in funds for this project, people here say they're throwing money into the desert. they say they don't need more trees. but more access to water. ah, the secretary of state meets with the palestinian authorities leadership in continuing efforts to solidify the sci fi with israel. ah, nicholas, this is out there a life and also coming out calls for the release of molly's president prime minister in defense minister who've all been arrested by the military. iran decides on approved candidates for next month presidential election and some high profile

right? have a chance to discuss other steps that need to be taken by leaders on, on both sides to set a better force there. sure, a future as president biden said, we believe the palestinians and israelis equally deserved to live safely and securely, to enjoy the freedom opportunity and democracy to be treated with dignity. whether that press conference, israel can take a prime minister benjamin netanyahu warned that his country will have a powerful response. if a mass breaks so far, we discussed also how to improve the lives in the conditions of the palestinians. the managerial conditions in gather including the question of the return of our m i. s, and to civilians were there as for peace itself with the palestinians, a formal peace, i think present in barton was absolutely correct. when he said,

you're not going to get peace until israel is recognized as an independent jewess state. and that is the key. i couldn't agree more. are we have teams in israel and in the occupied palace. the entire trees in a moment will go to lead to him who is in ramallah to see how the visit is be received by palestinians. first started from magic to james base. it wraps up the meetings 1st. also. remember 1st, james? so this is the 1st bit of us engagement with the palestinians in sometime is now what do you think we can expect? yes, so i think that's good news. as far as the palestinian authority are concerned and policy president mahmoud abbas because he's not had high level engagement with the americans since. well, over 3 years, it was that he cuts off contact off the trump administration, decided to move the u. s. embassy from television to jerusalem bots, whether they're going to be happy with the message that's coming from set country

blank, and that's not clear. certainly they will like the fact that it looks like he's going to announce some funding some funding for the reconstruction of garza, possibly some funding for the west bank as well. but what they'd really like is him to announce that he wants to actively stay in this region pursuing diplomacy to start further efforts to get to a 2 state solution. and it's very clear from this administration before the 11 days of bombardment of gauze that they're not very interested in doing that. they have a lot of foreign policy priorities. things like afghanistan and iran, nuclear deal, climate. how to deal with china, how to deal with russia, and this from the beginning of the biden administration, just over 4 months ago has been near the bottom of the agenda. it's clearly moved up because of what's happened. but still, i think the aim is keeping a lid on things here, coming things down, not actively pursuing diplomacy to try and reach a 2 state solution. why?

well, i think the private lead those in the administration a lot you to tell you, they just don't think they're going to get anywhere right now. james lincoln did talk the need to prevent or return to violence and a commitment of help with the rebuild of garza while emphasizing course that they would convince any funding to him as that is how they are going to try to do things. it is of course, difficult to try and do that if you want to provide funding to rebuild garza, if you want to provide the building material that you need to rebuild garza, then you have to deliver it to garza. and the sole authority in gaza is hum us, so they're going to have to do some creative thinking and try and find out a way mechanism if they want to try and achieve what they say they're going to achieve. which is to stop any benefit to hamas, and particularly what they say is the red line, which is a mass benefiting in any way, militarily. for example,

they've raised the prospect to building materials being bought in to build tunnels . in garza, i think it's going to be tricky, but i think you've got the united nations, you, but other intermediaries that they can use. and that clearly, i think will be the, the way that they will try to proceed. as i say, we are expecting secretary blinking to make some announcements. he's already said he's going to make some new commitments to the palestinians. that sounds to me like amounts of money that we're going to hear. but those have not yet been announced. as you see, he's meeting the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas, and we are expecting to hear him deliver some remarks with president bass in the future. yep. james, thanks for that. and of course, as soon as we see your statement can, we will cross live to him. in the meantime, let us speak to nita abraham, whose life was also in ramallah need. tell us how this visit happening can visit, has been received in the west bank. many palestinians will

tell you that they are not even paying attention to this visit. i've been in the streets of ramos in the morning asking people what they think of the visits of the senior house, a u. s. official. and they've been telling me that even if by then is in the office, the foreign policy in the u. s. is not succeeded by one president whose office and institutional thing, and they believe that israel is, has the most priority when it comes to the conflict when it comes to the u. s. so there is a lot of frustration when it comes to the international community. i specifically the united states, but also there's frustration directed that the paulson in the 40 some here were telling me that they didn't hear many palestinian officials comments during the israeli bombardment on the gaza strip. they believe that they would help them in the force he was irrelevant. and they said that now they are trying to pick the truth of the ship,

no magic average. but they were saying to me that this when the pass of the palestinian president more about negotiations negotiations, but they don't see the reality under occupation. changing the legal agree supplements are the subtler attacks against palestinians are also on the rise, according to you and figures. and also the nightly rates we've seen since the highest rates of f in the pulsing in territory in 5 or 6 years. even so for paulson is they would say that their lives are getting worse under occupation. but then with that is an escalation, the international community pays attention to them for a little bit tries to call the situation without dealing with the talk. let's just give you an idea of how palestinians receive ending the patient. in the reason that poll by a think, thank you. my last 30, the simian believes that they are struggling to liberate palestinians and to get

them closer to 3, the one was 36 percent. believe the negotiation is the weight. so this could give you an idea that these people believe that it's more about their unity is more about trying to unite against the occupation and not wait for the international community to solve these numbers. where before the escalation and the goddess their from their believe to increase. and let's points out in that same pull at palestinians were saying that there's this up by the large number more than 60 percent. that that they were dissatisfied with the performance of the palestinian president. with our back or i data, thanks to room the in ramallah. now molly's vice president says he's asked at the prime minister and president and stripped them of that power colonel as see me going to who led a military coup last year accuses the leaders of violating transition. an agreement that being held in a military facility near the capital by mikka,
