6:02 pm
ah, as shrinking the horizon of hope for palestinians, which needs to change. that's the message of your sex. your said anthony blinkin, who visited the occupied west bank just a short while ago. lincoln met palestinian president markwood abbas during which he called for deescalate of tensions with the israelis. he said the u. s. will provides an additional $50000000.00 for the you and refugee agency for palestinians, and announced an agreement to provide for g telecom services. palestinians and israelis, wife are experiencing a growing insecurity, growing fear, all communities and their places of working on the persons we believe is important to pay to deescalate saw one and
6:03 pm
a vision for more actions going for what we're, what we're seeing now sitting is a free bro, spanish one and that to we believe is the same. so high rats joins us now from at west jerusalem. and so we are waiting for answers bankin to give a press conference. we have been waiting quite some time has been significantly delayed e. it will be marking, went at the end of his trip, that to israel and the occupied territories. absolutely. well, he started off in cairo where there were discussions about the israeli palestinian violence. then he met with benjamin netanyahu, who's come back as the prime minister of israel, in a new extremely right wing government. and now he's been meeting with the
6:04 pm
palestinian president mahmoud abbas. he did talk about a 2 state solution. c working towards that plan, however, it's a lot of lip service. it seems because what we're seeing on the ground and what we have seen in the last year and suddenly this month is a real increase in violence between the israelis and palestinians that were to deadly attacks. over the weekend on friday and saturday, when a several israelis were killed. but also a raid on jeanine but killed 10 palestinians the day before those the tax. so he's talking about working towards a 2 state solution, but he didn't really offer any a way of moving towards that. certainly in the time that he's been there, the, the new government has been keen on increasing measures. they said in response to those attacks and reducing those rights, but palestinians have had to some degree. now some of those measures have included
6:05 pm
demolitions of home, certainly of the those that belong to the attack because, but it seems also collective punishment towards any families or friends all within that vicinity. we're seeing changes and measures that will be false, trying to on more israelis on the streets and potentially take the law into their own hands. so even though he's been talking about a 2 state solution, there hasn't been any concrete plan in on how they can move towards the president. with our boss had said that he was going to reduce corporation security cooperation with israel as a result of this. that top rates in the occupied territories, but then he retracted in the last 24 hours and said that he will consider a pall is that it's just the partial a push back on and sharing security information and they will reassess this. so what's going to happen, what they've been discussing behind closed doors,
6:06 pm
is not necessarily just clear yet, but it's certainly not looking optimistic for the palestinians, and that violence is increasing by the day. ok, so many thanks for joining us. that will come back to you as i went on see if i can start speaking from them. they will just move on to hannon, ash, raleigh. she's a politician, civil society leader and full member of the palestinian liberation organization executive committee. she joins us from ramallah. thanks very much for being with us . of course we're, as you think it has just been anything present, mac moved to a boss. what have you made of his visit so far? well, that's nothing new. i mean, we have a extractions about a week with security, but at the same time, us policies have maintained a,
6:07 pm
a color to unity and have maintained security as a primary objective. good visit and of course with shawn and then hold on to talk about a patient. and it is ongoing in terms of it, a student. so the nature of the palestinians, i don't do anything, no matter what it is. i don't know how when, and a low 35 a is that and they did not see or to do anything
6:08 pm
until one in responding to his grandfather smarter. and of course, his mother's that's on 7 is that when it became a matter and then we started discussion as a, as though there is a situation of symmetry occupied by without dealing with causes as extreme right wing violent government, settler to ongoing set, expand, ongoing demolition, of ongoing giving indians with funding and all these things don't make the world or sit up and doing notice. allison is acting as not a ballistic. under occupation. have not i to desist? i've known i do anyway. go to the international community,
6:09 pm
go to the international criminal court. i got to the u. n. s. c. any intervention. and with if on as you say that the palestinians think go failed that the u. s. has of, they've lost the u. s. support that it has given the green light, at least for the, for israel to continue as it has was on the palestinian leadership to next. what actually, american support and speaking we always, laos has always been a strategic a guy and song. and as you know, $3800000.00 annually last year to increase those by $1000000000.00. so we have really whose name as a new and is lucian in which the u. s. voted paper. but us type one is an ocean bay upstate, but they consistently both, i guess, by this time,
6:10 pm
even when they know that it and is violating international international monetary. so we have no illusions. this is an unholy alliance between a settler colonialist state that is exercising apartheid that is dealing christine handland resources. so given that way to ation and i want to be in need of to about what can they do next? i think what they have to do next is listen to the palestinian people and respect our grades. we need to be able to defend ourselves. we need to turn and was what our on house in order. we need to have elections and we need to have to hold our leadership accountable and to elect new leadership that is capable of addressing all these challenges. we need to respect the partnership with civil society. we need to address and you'll dial and new conversation. human vice conversation

6:19 pm
especially on big ticket items. also affecting consumer confidence is china's ailing property sector. while the government is raising to ease a real estate slumped, recovery will take time. china said planet meanwhile says it's been working to stabilize the prices of everyday goods, such as grain and vegetables, though the cost of some items, including pork and fruits has been rising. the i, nat predicts that china will hit a gdp of 5.2 percent for 2023. and while that may be good news, been many here. experts say that rapid growth in china could lead to a spike in global prices. the food and energy india is a bright spot at a time of global economic slowdown. those are projections from the international monetary fund. it projects in economy will grow at about 6 point one percent. now why that is lower than last year? it is expecting the indian economy to rebound in 2024. now interfaces various global challenges like the ongoing war in ukraine and high inflation. domestically

6:21 pm
b. so let's say you buy a tank for $1000000.00. it's the last $1000000.00 to d p. if you open it down for $5000000.00, it's plus $5000000.00 to the d p. so nobody cares actually 5000000 grow. and for 10 call for the stolen, it's all this recorded at costs. and obviously russia now experience a huge demand for the placement of peoples and other stuff. so i'm not sure a sam in the war and war is lacking much more time. is it? then russia and expect it so which is why russia increased military production. so we up to the trends in the opposite direction. the production of consumer boots of garcia of i was in else is declining. like for some industries decline is like 50 percent the especially if you look at by consumer electronic scars light
6:22 pm
construction is actually in a huge program and we are, you see a decrease in property priced in was con, like she does not similar to the government increase demand form for military goods and we why you see increase in slight interest deeply. ok, so should we expect the sanctions in the decline and exports to hit russia a slightly later date. some project in the, in the medium term, say 2027. it's going to fill a bite. it's actually a but a good questions like am in a months about our, me and my call to fix it. look like it's hockey, millinery buckler, and tiny bobby bobby. and i got going to publish a report of phone call sanctions actually affected ross. nicole, me give your few ideas, not like i would expect, the russian economy is doing much better, mainly due to all export than gas tanks booked you want in december,
6:23 pm
we are shelves, the thrust. she's getting a lot of money. so in all of the european union introduced all embargo, but what we see be don't see a strong effective date about again, so the publish report and in about 2 months. so basically, yeah. so we can now tell that there was basically failed to restrict that russian economy after the beginning of the war saw rough and human experience, shock, inexpert experts, revenue moral the x b up. so if they're high expert, they were new in 2022 for all and gotten into 1000 to one. so in some sense, nisa inflow of all that and just money a lot for him to me to gaze a huge buck. i hope that the situation is going to be different in 2002 to $3.00 and $3.00 up so much for the decline of the russian economy as it would expect to be a go. okay,

series concerns about the escalating cycle of violence. and like us want to support the parties in finding a way forward. so we storing commas, our media task, but over the longer term, we have to do more than just lower tensions. the united states is committed to working toward our enduring goal of ensuring that the palestinians and israelis enjoy equal measures of freedom, security, opportunity, justice and dignity. and his president, by this firm conviction that the only way to achieve that goal is through preserving and then realizing the vision of 2 states for 2 peoples. the united states will continue to impose anything that puts that goal further from reach, including but not limited to settlement expansion, legit, legalization of legal outposts move towards annexation of the west bank disruption to the historic status quo jerusalem's holy sites. demolitions and evictions and incitement and acquiescence to violence. we will also support all efforts to move

6:36 pm
thrones deepening ties with moscow. and this is a skidded weaponry that there exchanging to enable one another's aggression. are among the many reasons that we raise with israel. the importance of providing support for all of you trans needs, humanitarian, economic and security. as the defends, his people against russia's brutal war of aggression. we discussed a number of ways to advance the united states and israel shared security interests . just as i did yesterday in my meetings with the prime minister with president hertzog and with foreign mr. cohen. across these discussions, i made clear that america's commitment is real, security is unwavering. jest, it is as it has been for nearly 75 years. finally, the united states will continue to deepen our bonds here with partners outside of government. today i had the opportunity to spend time with palestinian palestine, american civil society leaders, entrepreneurs, business owners in diet of one who share the vital work they're doing to improve the lives of their communities. and i started my day by hearing from
6:37 pm
a group of young israeli leaders, jews, and arabs who are doing inspiring and critical work from advancing l. g. b to hew rights and the rights of people with disabilities to building trust and ties between communities at these meetings were remind her that the civil society in both of our countries plays an indispensable role and in the central role and defending and strengthening the rights of people of and principles at the heart of a free and open society and helping people tackle some of their most pressing challenges. it's a reminder of how citizens are willing to continue to engage, to hold their leaders accountable, and to keep working to create the world that they and their communities want. they can count on the united states and a partner in all of those endeavors with ada. i'm happy to take some questions. we'll start with tracy wilkinson and bailey times and tracy a little earlier in the navy on there.
6:38 pm
and you just mentioned the attitude concerning harry song or any of that, it was readily available and help me in a little deeper in math. do you know her dad is raised to liter that some of them in some of the and their name got our friend demand heater and that would be in a and you believe that he wants to preserve de la c l a. how many in the early lead it, at least he's a little never going to have a minute at a meeting with president?
6:39 pm
do you see any person getting resolved? they seem to diffuse the tension and to my horror. and otherwise, if you have a fain um, let me take the 2nd part of the question 1st, then come to the 1st part. look as always we're focused on the policies that governments administrations pursue not initial personalities. and so we're focused on what the palestinian authority is doing, both to work, to improve the lives of the, the posting people as well as to engage responsibly with, with israel on 1st and foremost defusing the current situation, the current cycle of violence, reducing tensions, not escalating them coming things down, not wrapping things up. that is the,
6:40 pm
the immediate focus and i heard both from palestinians including president abbas as well as from israeli. some ideas for how that, how we can move that forward, which is why i asked some of my colleagues to, to stay behind to support the efforts that are being made to, to calm things down. ah, that's really the 1st order of business. and i hope is that if that succeeds, then we can look to both sides to take some positive steps to try to rebuild a confidence rebel trust. and that in turn lays the foundation for at some point i'm pursuing to stace. but i think in this moment the most immediate challenges, as i said, defusing the, the cycle of violence that has people here, 1st and foremost, but around the region. deeply, deeply concerned. as i said, the president, a president biden remains committed to and convinced of the importance of
6:41 pm
a 2 state solution. but one step at a time. we have to focus 1st on making sure that israelis and palestinians diffuse the current situation and then a start to build some positive steps into their, into their relationship with regard to the 1st part of the question. and i think you heard me addressed this yesterday about the relationship that we have with israel is based fundamentally unshared interest and shared values. and it's been that way for 75 years. i spoke about some of those values yesterday, including of course, respect for human rights, equal justice under the law, equal rights for all the rule of law, free press, a robot civil society. and as i mentioned, i had an opportunity to engage with some representative civil side just today and to be sure israel has a very robust a civil society and we see that in recent days. and again, i saw that today my own. now in my own meetings with regard to the proposed reforms,
6:42 pm
there is clearly a very vibrant debate that's going on. a discussion is going on in israel. and these debates are a very healthy part of a vibrant democracy. in fact, they're unique to democracies. and as democracies, one of the things that we recognize is that building consensus on new proposals is the best way to make sure that not only are they embraced but that they actually endure. all of this, of course, is for israeli themselves to work out. but we look forward, generally speaking, to working with israel to advanced the interest in values that have been at the heart of this relationship. as i said, for for 75 years. chilly. cohen of con, noose, overhearing a reform, said, oh,
6:43 pm
really highly good. one minister, i said i with president and yeah, even around mr. david anita, he, mon, i wonder what any of our chat, hon and oh, is it a very easy sure. summer. yeah. wow. how are you in the fan and another person, you're regarding a lady in there and now the carrier that a woo s a n e d number u t t for tom 2 things. what i talked about yesterday and again and talked about just now reflects the, the shared values that the united states and israel have have had held for, for more than 75 years. and it is nothing,
6:44 pm
nothing more and nothing less than that. and i continue to be inspired by the vibrancy with which israel, ah shares those values, something that again we're seeing, we're seeing right now. and i think i can say the same thing about my own country, the united states. ah, with regard to the 2nd part of your question, we have been clear and consistent in our conviction that neither side to take any you know or actions that right now potentially would would add fuel to a fire and over the medium to long term would make out the prospects of achieving 2 states even more distant than um, than they currently are. will malden water channel?

against the many destabilizing and dangerous actions that are honest, engaged in, in the region. and now increasingly beyond iowa, one of the, one of the, one of those actions is that we talked about was the tradition by iran to russia. uh huh. drones and technology to be used in russia's aggression against, against ukraine. and as i mentioned before, and we also discussed with our israel the counterparts, this is a 2 way street. not only is iran providing sophisticated dep military equipment to russia, but russia in turn is doing the same with iran, which is of course, a real concern to us and real concerned to israel. so we continued our what has been an ongoing discussion of ways that we can continue to work together, collaborating, and not just us with other countries encountering the malicious actions that are honest, engaged in whether it's in this region or,
6:47 pm
or beyond. with regard to what i heard on this trip, no, i'm not going to detail the ideas, but i think there are some, some concrete ideas from both sides and that if pursued, i would really help the fuse, the current. how the current situation and it's, it's why i asked some of my colleagues to stay behind to support the efforts that, um, that both parties are making to try to get to a, a better path. it is fundamentally up to them and they have to, they have to work together ah, to find a path for that. as i said, both defuses the current cycle of violence. and i hope also leads to positive steps that each can take to build back some trust to build like some competence tell, make material improvement in people's lives to foster a greater sense of security for israelis and palestinians alike that, that,
6:48 pm
that will take time. the immediate task, as i said, is to defuse of the cycle of violence and if both sides are generally committed to it, i think the steps that they can take that we heard from them that would help achieve that be time for a final question from la com la with a i don't to worry, we're on the long money a, a,
6:49 pm
a hello me, a call i can tell you was that we have long been and remain opposed to unilateral steps by either side that in the 1st instance actually fuel tensions. ah and dumb lead to oh, i think a more dangerous environment for, for everyone. ah, and the truck mentally like more difficult and more distant the prospect of moving toward to states. so that hasn't changed. i repeated that in my meeting. so throughout my, my stay here as i just did just it now. and again, we look to, to both sides. not to take steps that actually make things worse and on as well,
6:50 pm
to take some positive steps that can create a better path forward for both of his rose and posting it through secretary think of her. thank you and we will a thing to the u. s. secretary of state anthea blank in addressing the media in west jerusalem, he is just wrapping up his 2 day visit to israel and the occupied palestinian territories. as pagans are higher at, she joins don't say, from west to east. and she's also listening to that press conference there. as far as the bank in saying that the u. s. the was ready and willing to be a partner in peace. they really, he was just reaffirm we're farming wasn't a much of what he's already sent over these past 2 days. that's right, laura. he talks about a reduction of escalation of violence from both sides. fostering a stable and secure the least. he talked about that. he said the all sides must
6:51 pm
take steps forward for he repeated what he said during his a conference all through when he met benjamin netanyahu yesterday and then off to speaking to my boss. but interestingly, this time he said that he will all some of his senior members to stay on to find solutions. he also said that there will be new funding for the palestinian refugees through the u. n. now if you remember for us president donald trump, trump had caught that funding and palestinians rely heavily on that financial aid. we're talking millions of dollars. 1 so he said that they'll be receiving that he also talked about an enduring goal towards a 2 state solution and port to me. he also said that they were clear and insistent that they should be no unilateral action, but aids a few to the fire. of course of violence in the last. 2 few days has increased,
6:52 pm
especially since to attacks that were against israelis. that was also the day before that 10 palestinians killed during an israeli rate on a refugee council with these been talking a lot about 2 state solution is that there's some information that he can't disclose just yet. in spite it was said that they came up with ideas, concrete ideas, he said. and he also heard the concerns from both sides. but what does that actually mean on the ground? because at the moment the violence has been at its was for more than a year. you know, the, the new israeli government, a right wing government has made it clear that it's not interested in a 2 state solution. in fact, benjamin netanyahu, when he discussed his, talked about there being peace, but again, no resolution on a 2 state solution. of course, there's also been a normalization of relations between israel and the, our region. so whether we'll see any more from the rest of the middle east that
6:53 pm
will come here to try and improve relations between israel and palestine. lincoln who had met egyptian president a c. c said that he discussed with him to try and also be involved more involved. so we're talking with seeing a rhetoric from the us about observing about bringing them together. whether we'll actually see any concrete steps that will move towards a 2 state solution. we'll have to see. he also talked about iran, and he also met with the israeli opposition leader who's also the former prime minister. yeah, le pete to discuss the situation that's have with a lot of a protest amongst israelis against this new right. when government. ok so many thanks. indeed. well, that's kind of a now to myself about the laser of the policy and national initiative and member of the central committee of the palestine liberation organization joined us via skype from ramallah. good to have you with us. let's pick up off
6:54 pm
a little bit of what he said, i'm sorry, correspondent was saying that you think we will be seeing any concrete steps towards a 2 state solution. absolutely not. for the son who will live dollars. life on the military is what we had today. and what we saw is so much of the job who did nothing new american administration is incapable of playing any positive construction because it is totally biased. it continue the tradition of american bias to the site. and we didn't get him condemned, for instance, the fact that took place and you kept talking about this, but nothing about victims, occupation. we didn't hear him condemn tax which are happening during the last 3
6:55 pm
days when i'm to, to get that date. nothing was said in terms of condemning the one single listing in homes and houses in so many community, especially inside you and about 2 state solution. but without saying that they will restrain israel, said the activities he could have done a lot if he declared administration, both actions. it doesn't stop supplement activities, but in reality we've been hearing about 2 state solution. why is that? it was not that was this already killed so in my opinion, he wants to, to restore people at the expense of continuation of occupation and the system. did you get the feeling that as he been contained, with an agenda from the white house and that didn't change according to the events
6:56 pm
on the ground? because we saw this massacre in jeanine. we then saw the attack on the set says israel in the occupied territories, but it didn't seem to sort of react to that specifically came as of the broader talking point that you could have heard at any point. know that it was mostly, it's all about stopping the code violence and he wants to existing occupation. basically this is what the american administration wanted. he do not want to allow the new patient or advertise, or discrimination or dental pression subjected to even by going diplomatic lead today. and i positions even by demanding that application in the national national court of justice. they seem to get that, but they're not doing anything the only country in the world wanted. but to
6:57 pm
point to that we don't see. and we don't see. and unfortunately this administration is being totally by us. but i'm being also very weak in front of that. i is fashion and extreme, which is not only in this place but in the region. so he said also that he would leave a senior member to stay on to find solutions, the current cycle of violence, just briefly in the last minute. but we have, do you expect to be talking to these people to these senior members? i don't think so because i don't think they want to speak to us. he said that he met with the representatives of civil society. i don't know who are these people who met or we are leading the organization that coordinates the work of civil society. and we never talked about this meeting. so i think there are also 2 of them to meet with people who are probably saddled and think they'd like to hear
6:58 pm
