court now asking the government to explain why it hasn't happened. live to al jazeera is nita abraham, who joins us from canada. i'm our so need to this village has been under the threat of demolition for years now. why? why are these protests taking place now? the protest is taking place here at al has left much to day because of these people over the are there members of the liquid party which is the main ruling party in the coalition of the current government of benjamin netanyahu? they're saying that the government hasn't demolished and kind of mud yet. this is why people here are protesting. they're gathering to say that how could they compare the illegal israeli settlement building that is continuing on occupy territory. while at the same time, palestinians are not able to build on palestinian lands there,

protesting because just a few days ago, these wally military dismantled as structure that belong to a new illegal israeli sacrament out both. and they're saying that the israeli military is demolishing while it is demolishing israeli structures on palestinian lands. it shouldn't be demolishing palestinian structures on palestinian lands like a kind of like mud. this comparison for palestinians here is very bizarre. they say that settlements are considered in egan. under international law, at the same time, palestinians like those living here in al handle, our modern need is really permits to be able to build. now those permits ordinarily ever given by these really government. this a territory we're talking about is around 60 percent of the occupied west bank. now, although in 2018, the israeli supreme court has greenlighted the demolition. here. people here tell

us that the pressure, the international pressure, the icey c saying that transferring population without a military necessity content constitutes a work crime is the reason why the demolition has been postponed. but we know that on february 1st, the government has to respond to illegals. case by or an organization called rig veeam that has been founded by one of the current ministers of the government on why this demolition didn't take place yet. thank you for that, nita abraham reporting their life from the village of con, our amar in the occupied west bank rushes foreign minister, saint gala rav is in south africa for talks. his meeting with a foreign minister and the lady pandora in pretoria. last week, south africa's military announced planned to hold joint military exercises off its coast with china and russia. south africa among the countries that abstained from voting in the united nation,

still condemned to condemn rather moscow's annexations of ukrainian regions. last year. we all, you'll see we're actually rural for useful resolution of disputes. bill will be, will be bald, was regular we'll discuss, negotiate with solution is gone through the growth in september for us gazillion, steve, so, so the degree brosuti all ukrainian officials to negotiate or innocent with the russian figuration. so, i believe is absolutely obvious as regards to the origin of the problem of political negotiations. our sincere wish that the conflict currently between russia and ukraine will soon be brought to a peaceful land through diplomacy and negotiation. as we believe this is the

desire of all of us in the globe live to al jazeera his family. that mila was in pretoria for as tell us more about what's been said family to there and, and how significant this visit to south africa is for the russian foreign minister . what is a very, very short term opening remarks from both foreign ministers of south africa and a russia. but even within that time, they immediately addressed the issue of ukraine and russia's role in that. and of that, as we've heard from mr. leverett, that russia was willing to negotiate or at least come to negotiate, settlement with ukraine. and he also added that however, west and colleagues, any attempt that they had made for negotiations, had sought to me not improved the situation. and essentially south africa as a foreign minister and a lady upon door basically reiterating that sort of sentiment in that negotiation and diplomacy is key and that they should be alternative of institutional

mechanisms. these would be crated to support a global peace and security. and in that regard, emphasized the role of break so that block of countries of brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa. and this is essentially way the issue of geo politics are relations coming to play and an alternative to the dominance of western countries. way russia has now for some time being increasingly isolated and quitting. so one analyst would perhaps say that the 2nd trip in just about 9 months to africa for the russian far a foreign minister is really about trying to cement to african relations, looking for allies in a place. oh, we russia is increasingly isolated and perhaps wants to validate his position in ukraine amongst its own people saying that we do have allies, we do have friends. and we know that looking back at you in resolutions or tim said that in the past that less than a half all the 50 for african nations had,

had voted i had wanted to vote in favor of condemning russia's actions in ukraine. 17 of those african countries that in fact abstained entirely including south africa, south africa has faced some criticism around its relationship with russia. and perhaps wanting to having abstained from those un resolutions or at least voting. and of example from opposition. parties ya, in south africa and also the ukrainian presidents zalinski saying that abstaining and having any not having anything to say is basically trying to abstain between life and death. and this wasn't a principal position. and at this point, we've got russia saying the exact opposite. it appreciates what it calls a principled position by south africa. so while these 2 countries have said that this is about by natural talks, we know very much it's about russia wanting to potentially change the playing field, cement these relationships in africa at a time when it's facing,

increasing isolation in the waste. thank you for that family to miller live there in pretoria or meanwhile, there's been some encouraging use for ukraine about the delivery of german made tanks. germany's foreign minister has told french television it will not stand in the wave. poland decide to send his rabbit 2 tanks to ukraine. that comes as french president mannion like all whole said. german chancellor, olaf shoals for the 1st face to face franco drumming summit since 2019 bennet smith report. some paris the lines between france and germany is often described as the engine of the european union. its been sputtering since last year when emanuel micron cancelled this meeting after a series of disagreements with berlin over defense and energy policy in the wake of the war and ukraine. differences that affect policy making in the rest of the e u. every time when there is a major decision to be taken, the 2 countries may have different approaches, but in the end, it's only when they agree that the 27 can agree. so we are in that process at the

moment on different issues. one is obviously, are the ukraine war and how to support ukraine or, and we've seen in recent days that general charles has been under a lot of criticism for his reluctance to send tanks to, to ukraine. and from the german chancellor on sunday. still no commitment that he'll give ukraine what it wants. it was out the us is doing a lot. germany is also doing a lot. we have constantly expanded our supplies with very effective weapons that are already available to day. and we've always closely coordinated all these decisions with all our important allies and friends with france, for example, with the us with other major countries in europe. and of course, with all those who participate in this discussion about emanuel micron, says france is not ruled out sending its tanks, but needs to consider 3 criteria. didn't bah, governance off, it could do firstly,

as we have been able to do since the beginning that it does not escalate. secondly, the data could bring will effective support or ukrainian friends senior. and for this, we must consider the capacity to maintain them. in operational conditions and training . both leaders reaffirmed a commitment to support ukraine as long as necessary latvia lithuania, and estonia of added to the calls from other countries to send tanks to ukraine, piling the pressure on berlin. the new german defense minister says he'll visit keith soon. he can expect one subject to dominate the agenda. bernard smith, al jazeera paris, russia has responded by seeing western weapons a to ukraine will trigger a global catastrophe. in a statement on telegram, the speaker of the lower house of parliament warned of a more powerful response from moscow that she st. village in fed politician the u. s. gemini and france must realize their responsibility to humanity and their
