a james bay is reports from ramallah in the occupied west bank arriving intel of the us secretary of state on a trip with a narrow ame keeping things calm, after the seas, his 1st stop an audience with israel's prime minister pledging the u. s. is continuing commitment to israel, the fence. but adding this, we believe 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 that echoed by the israeli leader. his words perhaps unconvincing to some. after leaving an 11 day bombardment of garza, we discussed also how to improve the lives in the conditions of the palestinians. the managerial conditions in ramallah. the 1st visit by a secretary of state to the president of the palestinian authority for over 3 years

old contact was stopped when the trump administration announced it was moving the u . s. embassy to jerusalem. there was a cordial tone, but it was clear, one of the president central de bonds was not on the u. s. agenda. one of the month . and you're going out. we hope that the future will be full of diplomatic activities in order to reach a comprehensive solution and to put an end to recent events. president bass was told though that the u. s. would reopen its consulate general in east jerusalem. a diplomatic representation specifically for palestinians, which was close by president trump. there was a commitment to help and the rebuilding of garza off the 11 day war and a new package of funding for the un and the palestinian authority. what was most telling in his meetings was what secretary lincoln didn't say, no mention of pushing towards the 2 state solution, no mention of a piece process. it's k, the biden administration wants to put

a lid on this conflict. but for now doesn't want to attempt to actually solve it. james bay's al jazeera ramallah. joining us now from denver, colorado is not. there has show me he's the director of the center family studies at the university of denver. thanks for speaking to us on algebra. so joe biden has dispatched his top diplomat to the middle east. is that a positive sign? do you think in terms of how the us administration wants things to develop between israel and palestine? well, i think it's a positive development from the perspective of the binding ministration that simply wants to put a lid on this conflict and hope it goes away. it's not a positive development for those of us who care about a, just and lasting resolution of this conflict. what a blink doesn't travel to gather on this trip? what do you make of that? well i think it's quite revealing. you know, gas at large parts of gas lying rubble. anthony blinking just spoke about.

the palestinians deserve to live in dignity. where's the dignity in living in an open air prison, otherwise known as the gas strip under a israeli and egyptian blockade for 15 years backed by the united states. i mean his entire plan to rebuild gas makes no sense. you know, these were us bombs that destroyed large parts of gas or, and most importantly, we've seen this horror show before. there was an identical conflict in 2009, then one in 2012 than one in 2014. and then a recent one, each time gas is rebuilt, dentistry, destroyed, and the, the cycle continues. so there's, i think, a lot of incoherency in terms of us foreign policy, but in and toward this conflict, but that it, that in many ways that's not saying anything new is it. he also said that he wants to rebuild garza and bolster the palestinian authority while avoiding

any benefits flowing to how. how tricky, how realistic is that? well, it's complete, unrealistic, given the fact that it's come off, that is an administrative control of the gas, a strip. more importantly, this claim that the united states can't talk to hum off because the united states is so holy and righteous and i won't talk to, you know, evil actors needs to be compared with the reality that the united states right now is speaking with the taller bond more importantly, this whole talk about how mos being sort of a, an evil actor also has to be compared in contrast with the fact that within benjamin netanyahu coalition there are these extremist fascist outbreak races. members that are the moral equivalent of hamas for the sake of argument that the united states has no problem with united states support that coalition. so all of

this talk about, you know, quarantining and not talking come off doesn't make sense practically in terms of what gather needs today. it obviously doesn't make sense politically as well. many palestinians say they are unhappy with the current palestinian leadership. they feel it is out of touch with the younger generation in particular facts. how much has taken advantage of in this particular conflict? how urgent is the issue of palestinian leadership, especially after the cancellation of palestinian elections? well, i think it's much more urgent than simply the fact that you have an 85 year old, you know, dictator in ramallah by the name of baffled boss, backed by the west who canceled elections. i think the one big reason in my view why the palestinians are in this particular plight is because they have suffered from a horrific national leadership. the national leadership right now is monumentally corrupt. it's non representative. and sadly, it's backed by the west. i think that's many read that's, that's precisely why it's backed by the west because it's a corrupt leadership that really doesn't represent the palestinian people,

but really represents the narrow interests of the ruling elite in the west bank. and it represents the interest of, you know, the, the regional arab states that back this corrupt leadership in ramallah. so unless there is a more credible leadership, unless the palestinians are able to figure out a way to come up with a better credible leadership, i think they'll continue to suffer occupation in dispossession many thanks for your thoughts.

question, but what it does mean is that we now heard from 2 sources that the grand jury has been convened for up to 3 months, sitting 3 days a week. and this indicates an escalation in terms of the 2 separate investigations being conducted into the tramp organization and those connected to it. because now very clearly criminal charges are being investigated to one of these entities connected to these 2 separate investigations. so this is a major escalation. we heard last week from the attorney general of new york saying that what had been a civil investigation into the camp organizations, financial details had expanded into a criminal one. she indicated as well that her office was now going to be working together with the new york district attorney to investigate these various cases. now, just to break it down, 2 separate cases effectively being investigated. one dealing with hash money being

paid to people who accused donald trump of sexual advances and saying that the touch money was taken from campaign funds. the separate case being conducted by new york state involves various financial irregularities or alleged financial irregularities. and what charges could trump face as a result of these inquiries? do we have an indication of what we do have an indication of because a grand jury has been convened is that we are looking at criminal charges. this is just driving home. what the new york attorney general said last week, that this was no longer just a civil investigation, although that is continuing. it is a criminal investigation as well. so once again, we've got to be very careful in this because we do not know the proceedings of the grand jury are completely confidential, completely secret. we do not know whether this investigation or the criminal charge

has been contemplated. deal directly with donald trump or with his organization or with somebody connected to donald trump, pull his organization. so one's going to be very careful in terms of the particulars of what we know at this particular point. we must also observe as well is that this is in a long period of time for a grand jury to be convened up to 3 months. but we also understand that it's not just the various trump investigations that will be considered by the grand jury. other matters may come before it, this has happened before, but to look at the bottom line. and all of this most legal observer saying the very fact that the grand jury has been convened in association with these various investigations being conducted into the trump organization. remembering to that in february, a judge ordered full text documentation to be released to full investigation by the grand jury. this is a mess of an escalation in terms of the various charges being investigated against

the trump organization, donald trump, and those close to him. they're interesting, thank you for you. update my canada 1st in washington, dc and the knees ahead. the warnings of another eruption strike among people trying to return home near africa's most active volcano. and george for his life to celebrate that the festivals rallies on moments and one year after his death. ah ah. hello there. the threat of more severe storms looms over the central parts of the u . s. this was a scene in kansas where a large powerful tornado damaged buildings in the northwest. we could see more of
