7:03 pm
america's latest diplomatic effort to strengthen the fragile seas. 5 between its ally, israel, and thomas in gauze after an 11 day conflict. assistant, an investment like these will help foster a more stable environment that benefits pal stains and also benefits israelis promise. i had a chance to discuss other steps that need to be taken by leaders on, on both sides to set a better course for their sure future as president biden. and said, we believed that palestinians and israelis equally deserved to live safely and securely, to enjoy equal measures of freedom, opportunity, and democracy to be treated with dignity. and in that press conference, nathan, yahoo! warned israel will have a powerful response if a mass breaks to seize fire. we discussed also how to
7:04 pm
improve the lives in the conditions of the palestinians. the managerial conditions in gather including the question of the return of our m. a's and to civilians were there. as for peace itself, with the palestinians, a formal peace, i think present inviting 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. diplomatic editor james space is following antony lincoln strip joins us now live from romanella. so jane's we heard that speech a short while ago or that address along with the palestinian president. what does the old boil down to? what sort of bite in middle east policies emerging here? well, certainly the palestinian authority now have someone to deal with that talking again to the united states. and this is the 1st high level meeting with the secretary of
7:05 pm
state for a while over 3 years. so for them that's good news, but then look at what is actually being achieved during this visit. well, there is a promise may be of help in the future with reconstruction of gaza as a package of aid of $260000000.00, which in global scheme of things is not a large amount of money. and much of that has already been announced. there is the decision to reopen the u. s. consulate general in jerusalem. just explain that there is a, there was a u. s embassy and tell us that dealt with israel and the u. s. consulate general needs jerusalem that dealt with the palestinians. president trump merge the 2 and also moved the u. s. embassy to jerusalem. now they are going to have a constant general, again, a diplomatic representation to deal directly with the palestinians. so that is a positive, i think, for the palestinians. but i think where you really need to look, and i'm sure where palestinian thought is going right now,
7:06 pm
is what the secretary blinking did not say joining his meetings both with these readings and the palestinians. no mention of a 2 state solution. no mention of ongoing peace negotiations. so it seems the biden strategy, the biden policy is to put a lid on this conflict and not even try to make the effort strong. solve it that i think is because they believe right now the time is not right for for, for peace. all right, thanks so much james space there. crossover now to any deborah haines, she's also joining us from ramallah in the west bank and 70 that we look at the situation now and this visit the statements by antony blink. and they think giving palestinians much reason to have hope well, i'm like expecting patients in the presidential have ford. there is here that there
7:07 pm
might be a revival in the peace process. people here in the 3 don't really pay attention to these visits. left alone have hope from them. they would tell you that they've lost hope that the international community is helping them in their cause. and i've been seeing throughout the past few days speaking to people here from a lot more believe that israel only understands the language of 4th. this is one statement, but one young man told me he says that the resistance factions and he's got the understand that language and know how to pressure israel at the these were his words. so there is a growing belief here among palestinians is that there's needs to be more to be done when it comes to combating israel rather than just the diplomatic approach in march. there was a whole years done by i think a lot it showed the 37 percent the false thing. you say that there should be an armed struggle when it comes to the issue with with israel was 36 percent talked about negotiations. and this was before the recent escalation and gaza. so it could
7:08 pm
be, the numbers could even be much difference in favor of, in our struggles. so there's also a growing fraction with the past them in afford these, this often is the site the young and those you the most been born after the goes low chords in the ninety's and all of the heard some that are leaders are talks about peace, genuine peace, all these nice words, but different promise of a c, but all they see on the ground is that the land which this stage should have been bill is shrinking further and further. and so that's why many here would tell you that they're not looking for managing the complex. they're looking for a better life with the maybe looking for it. if the end of these radio occupation on their land. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much that it brought him french president, tim and my call is calling for an urgent un security council meeting on molly becomes a day off them on the prime minister and president were removed from office in the
