8:36 pm
to palestinian israelis opened fire on a street in how dare and north television, killing 2 security forces, members, before they 2 were shot dead. again, israeli authorities pointed to i saw ideology that attack was followed by arrests in their home town. part of a heightened response, including more use of detention without charge surveillance, and police and military reinforcements. the theory is that this chain of attacks could inspire get more in an already combustible period from gaza. hamas and palestinian islamic jihad have hail this latest shooting as they had the previous attacks in recent days. the palestinian president mac with us condemned the killing of civilians and warned to the risks of a further deterioration. instability. those fears a certainly shared by israeli government. now, dealing with a deadliest week of attacks on its citizens in many years hurry for. so i'll just 0 west harrison and the shooter came from the town of bad in the occupied west bank. that abraham sent us. this update was the palestinian president has condemned
8:37 pm
the killing of civilians. people have been speaking to here in the r baskim said that the situation has already been deteriorating because the president has been saying that the spinning of civilians is going to be leading to with a deterioration. people talk about expansion of settlements, sefner attacks and even almost nightly rates by these really are we were hitting no for people behind us. that is really our was it back to? yeah. i bad, they've been here overnight in the morning and again now all in all, we have our source is saying that the israeli army at us the 26th palestinians, including the brother of the yacht match. we've spoken to his family and they say they have no idea that he was plotting anything. he was having lunch with them and that he left and did the learnt of what happened in the news.
8:38 pm
ah. all right, let's bring in our guess and tell of eve yoshi michael berg sooner consulting research fellow at the chatham house think tank in dublin. yes. at alaska? assistant professor at trinity college, dublin and in london, daniel levy, president of the us middle east project and former israeli negotiator, a warm welcome to you all and thanks so much for joining us today on it's i story, daniel, let me start with you today from your perspective, what are these attacks happening now? look how when, when one has individual attacks and those should be condemned. and an i do demos it's, it's sometimes tricky to draw a direct causal line in terms of the act of the individual. however, there is almost an inevitability that if one keeps conditions for the palestinians in which there is permanent dispossession,
8:39 pm
occupation in which there is a permanent reality for palestinians where they don't have basic rights and freedoms. you are going both at the popular level at the collective level tab efforts to turn against that. and you're going to have at the individual level a depth of frustration, desperation and despair which will occasionally lend itself to such actions. and that is the conducive environment. which exists and we see these things happen periodically. so if the reaction is just to talk about terrorism and secure ties, steps that need to be taken. and if there is no mention, and there hasn't been thus far on the official israeli side, and unfortunately that's one would expect no recognition of the root cause is of the broader circumstances, conditions, realities of palestinian existence under israeli road across the entirety of the
8:40 pm
area where israel rules, then you simply set yourself up for repeat of this. there are other elements to this. we're coming into a holiday season for the 3 monotheistic face, with very close to the star of ramadan. there has been an uptick in frustrations. sometimes if there's an expectation that the situation might improve and it doesn't, that can lead to an added layer of frustration. and i think one shouldn't ignore. and again, i'm not drawing a direct causal line, but one shouldn't ignore the extent of provocation against palestinians being undertaken by the region. recently, we just had secretary of state lincoln in a summit in the the, the neg then knock up with certain representatives of arab states who were basically saying, we don't want to address the palestinian question. we're not interested in you. some of them may have given some rhetoric about this. when you see this, u. e is ray american lead abraham,
8:41 pm
a court continued unquestioningly. since it's in session under trump, i think there's an added poking people in the i and this was a mistake. yes. and let me ask you a similar question from your vantage point. what is it that's triggering these attacks? well i think we need to put it in the context long term and just the in the context of occupation in the context of oppression that they have been you know, have been experienced in 1948 and before but i have law the law to say that there's funding from occupation god are located located in the west bank and also on that occupation. they are suffering from. busy checkpoints from the wall, but it's been, you know,
8:42 pm
the majority of them as well. and they're being kids are their home. they're being forced are their homes, but it's been in the history as well in the nation to them. and this is the context . this is the been an experience that we have to recognize. it's an expedient other story, this nation authority of experience and also ordering occupation and one have to recognize that i mean unfortunately the international community when think about that, but there's some kind of action is on the ground. and environment does not except the course, but we need to talk about the context of the mind. they, you know, they would issue violence have led to the action. and the group issues are still there. they haven't been addressed for before. and
8:43 pm
that's for the thing, you know, right? and that's also going to send you an independent or an acute thing insecurity. but it's being asked as well important. and it needs to be organizations, organization in the recent weeks, including national human rights watch, the human rights organizations will come out that kind of thing is simply living on the archive in the occupied territories. so this is to reach the context that we need to understand when we talk about the experience. you'll see, let me shift to something that daniel mentioned a couple of moments ago. the fact that these attacks are happening, the same week of this summit that was held in israel with the 4 of the arab nations,
8:44 pm
with egypt. bye had a morocco, the u, a. e. along with the u. s. how significant is this timing? yeah, i would like to join winter and i think we should condemn at the killing indiscriminately killing of civilian another on either side and differently. what happened here over the last 7 days? i'm not so sure thing you make some, some assumptions that there is a sort of flow of communication in which is the direct connection between so this is the summit and, and, and, and there are, i think it's actually what was mentioned back by the 2 other speakers is the big picture. it might be a direct connection, it might be, it might be a coincidence. but the reality is, is the conditions on the ground. there what causes of the conflict?
8:45 pm
and i say since yes, there is an element of, again we as, as, as much as we saw hold of any support of the army corps, the surgery. we like to see countries getting only one another. but we like also to see out on the codes facilitates fall negotiation the quality we would like to see if the sports is that can be good. instead of looking for a piece walk else, phone or experiment was on the outside of the region next to see that there's something like the wanted to placing the narrative this week won't be only pay lip service to palestine. yes or the conditions, but it seems live on vacation or the located in garza, but they actually set the plan with a clear time line in order to lose all at once and for this country that we don't see. and i think whether it's directly connected to what happened this week and today to show them and share some it last week or not. i think this remains to
8:46 pm
be seen. but what we see really is to look what are the condition to leave folk extremism of equalization violence and to post daniel, how are the attacks that have taken place this past week, different from attacks in the past, and what kind of a test is this going to be domestically for prime minister, enough tale been 1st of all, we don't know this could subside. there is a sense especially because of the timing because this is so close to religious holidays or so something we haven't talked about but a jerusalem itself. and the arrangements around jerusalem as a source of tension. where almost a year since, what palestinians often referred to was the unity intifada since an outbreak, an escalation started in jerusalem. so israel would be very well advised, not to impose a heavy not to have
8:47 pm
a heavy footprint in it. some security and policing arrangements in jerusalem over the next period. and of course, we've also seen r a shakira from the evictions of palestinian families in that sensitive spot in jerusalem. so we don't know yet how different this is. one thing we've seen is that the 1st 2 attacks were claimed ah, by dash a involved a palestinian citizens of israel, yasser referred to the conditions of structural discrimination and equality in which, you know, citizens live. it's a, it's a, it's a strange time almost for that community when you have a party in the government representing that community, or a lot of resentment also towards that. so we don't know how different is going to be what we do know how it is. after a long period of rule under nothing, yahoo,
8:48 pm
this is the 1st time we're seeing this kind of hybrid bennett coalition dealing with with this. and i think there is genuine concern that if bennett were to pursue the extreme rhetoric, the t voiced in the past as his actual policy response, then he's like, match, then things will get even ah, more deeply into a spiral would be the expectation. so i think you got, you got a spectrum, right? you could have a very, an ill advised, very securitized israeli response. you could have business as usual, which is also pre that. or you could have something which i fear is not even on the agenda, which is to say, yeah, we've got to get to terms with the immediacy of immediacy of this. but maybe this is the moment to address the deeper political grievance. if we don't address that,
8:49 pm
there's the inevitability of more with that is not a narrative one's hearing. so i think this will be a test to bennett. and of course, what you will have is a very agitating, ah, right wing opposition outside of the government that will be bang for blood to, to use that term. yes, it is a prime minister been it said that we will fight terror with perseverance stubbornness and an iron fist. so my 1st question to you is what kind of a response you expect will be seen from israel? my 2nd question to you is, are you. busy also concerned that there will be more attacks that the attacks that have happened as far will inspire more attacks, especially at such a fraud time well, i mean is right. it is bob calling over at bonham. we are seen over the years past that kid had always been about using electric power against
8:50 pm
so when all of these bring their bombs fall for me to resign at the machine into a problem. and it's called the more problems on the ground. and because let's not forget, the military response is also part of the occupation is butcher. the great ministry is in the territory. it's on a daily basis and it's going in the military in the military. i've been invited and you know, so i think we need to put the content not for this environment by the number of course on our side, and over and over as well. but really don't understand that long, but it's been an experience of living. but our commission, basically what they've been facing is
8:51 pm
a systematic archive system. i think that was patients that have all this system has always been presented to the not the political as you're speaking to refer to. but our administrative response for me is about a we think in junk on the ground, it's about also increasing the tension on the ground. what we need is all the political and the better solution that would be issues and those issues and you know, security or, and then also kind of thing, you know, right. we have you in a church, your question to the prime minister by a record saying he is a boot but it's been you're right. again, you're right. sees again, but it's been interstate. so i'm not expecting
8:52 pm
a politic ball if you like. the throng. expecting our reading right when there's ball and that's not going to help, that is going to increase attention and they just sit on the ground. and it sort of that is ready to have a ride in the problem. have it done my way. so that means we need to try something more joke. we need to sound like something that is more comprehensive, something that will address the problem in my view. the problem is that the book political solution will security poll you'll see is the fact that the religious holidays of ramadan, passover and eastern, the fact that they are going to be converging this year. is that something that's also leading to an escalation of tensions? probably and no expectation or some increase in violence. i don't think at this
8:53 pm
level in the sense i think the security services here were surprised. but interestingly enough incidents do they have some commonality? the social figure are quite different. the 1st thing to this issue was actually carried out by the way. the 2nd one is actually from the nose moment, which is a strong code of the islamist movement. and the 3rd one is actually from a color scheme this from in the occupied territories from june new jeanine's job. so i think we're trying to connect all to see your face. and no doubt, you know that the conditions on the ground and then the noise in that was mentioned for peaceful mission by the other speakers play up. but i think we still need to develop no doubt to use that for those of us who do they are with these conflicts. we are not surprised. no because he would like to see violence is because we keep
8:54 pm
wounding that. we filed a complaint, the solution for these are the police in conflict. valence is almost inevitable. and the inability of the leadership to do anything about about this and then blame everyone when it does happen is it is the will to follow. it is enough to, to visit the west bank and to see the complete opposite the on the other side of the green line. when it comes to that i can understand something that is it, and i not to design. and then the international community is completely disinterested and this certainly does or doesn't mind. now, it's so easily is going to react. sadly, i think it is kind of situation that would be all of the reaction. you want to expect that these are the security. so folks, especially the sensitive time of the holidays, not to respond to this because as i see myself in kind of, if you don't know whether god will be the next day or so,
8:55 pm
you will see the presence of security forces in this place. but the question if there is an ability to move away just for security, suppose from using more force and then there would be more policy and victims as a result of it and probably on the other side to more to do something as the said reality for just may end is on both sides are very weak administration, very weak governments and we'd go home and tend to overreact instead of actually being dyslexia. daniel looked like he wanted to jump in. i'm going to let you do that. but, but i also want to ask you what i seem to be hearing in one form or another from, from you, from your c. and from yes it is that really things are going to change unless there's a real look at the root causes of what's going on and an attempt at a comprehensive solution. so let me ask you, is there any hope right now that that is something that can actually be achieved? well i, i, i am fortunately can, can give you
8:56 pm
a relatively categorical and clear response on, on that last point, which is no, we're not in the solution. zone there is no willingness on these really side to and the occupation to end what human rights organizations are designated as a reality of apartheid in the system which, which prevails and you have. and this is, this is also a significant problem. you have a palestinian authority that has distance itself so much from its people that is not allowed itself to be held accountable by people in elections, et cetera. and that is very widely viewed as a subcontractor for these radio authorities and is therefore not in a position to rally its people in, in one direction or another where i wanted to, to, to intervene specifically is, is that if there is this overreaction,
8:57 pm
if we now do get into a cycle what, what we've seen in these 3 attacks, indiscriminate all civilians, categorically, unacceptable. but once you get into a broader escalation, then one has to be reminded of the fact that palestinians have a legitimate right and even responsibility to resist this military occupation. and i say that in the context of the daily commentary and pictures that we see coming out of ukraine, and suddenly when people are stockpiling molotov cocktails, they are being loaded as heroic courageous patriots. if you do that while palestinian, you are almost always declared a terrorist. all right, well we have run out of time to we're going to have to leave the conversation there . thank you so much to all of our guests. you'll see michael bird yesterday about it and then a levy. and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by
