5:08 pm
has always complete control over legal settlements like this one in the occupied westbank finance minutes. the better result smartjets has got the deal that he always wanted as long as it on the cause. but it was ratified in a cabinet meeting that took place on sundays. now before this deal, jackie expand settlements like this one. you have to go through 6 phases, any point during those phases, people could bring up objections in the international community. the americans often did. that's open, dispensed with. bits of all smoked rich. now is able to make a decision to expand supplements in any way it's way he pleases. and he's the only person making that decision is of concern to the international community. and i how also i have to remember that the occupied westbank doesn't come on. that is really civilian control. it comes on that is really military control. so there it is, it possible to be able to do this. they just need to be able to make a decision,
5:09 pm
had of how this thing foreign ministry has said, that's all smart traits to approve the settlement activity. is it dangerous escalation to complete the amex ation of the west bank? now you'll be hearing a lot of that would add exception. palestinians worried that as well, will simply take over the entire okey point, westbank and cool. it is ro, massive, also reacted saying, uh this will bring more escalation in the region and threatened peace and security that and for the political party of also reacted say they, this cannot achieve security for the set list. and the settlements will be removed from the west bank as they were removed from the gauze strip. so this is a very alarming development for the palestinians. it'll get international reaction as well in ronco, which is 0 the occupied westbank. so let's start with this reaction michaels florida joins us here and is really human rights lawyer working with palestinian communities, facing settlement expansion and land disputes. and you are joining us from
5:10 pm
television today. sir. your reaction to this is well for hello. thank you for having me. uh, i think this decision completes the process of the you are a legal and extension of the west bank by the state. the reason i'm now we don't have any basks anymore is rarely civilian government. the upper right, this is a call dog or planning issues and even a enforcement a public powers. and the most extreme right wing proponent of joyce supremacy has given the powers to open the floodgates of expansion of settlements and building new neighborhoods. transporting the board. these rallies settlers into the west bank. this is a big day for those who want apartheid to be a turn the lives in the holy land. and it is a very sad day for people like me, but fights when the occupation and provide civil rights to all the people that
5:11 pm
reside between the drug and river and the see. to be clear, how do you expect spend hello small trench to use his expanded powers as well the, the, the pending gap procedures in the west bank one has to realize are not really professional planning a hour. and they are basically a rubber stamp to use. rarely political interests and those political interests for the last 6 years were always uh, balance to some degree by international pressure by political internal pressure. now the change in the director of the deals with planning and construction in the west bank are have that changed in such a way that the international pressure would almost be completely unfit uh, in the institutions and authorities that are responsible for expansion and build the good of new settlements in the west bank. so what i expect to see is, as i said,
5:12 pm
a lot of the plans of new construction in the, in the more than almost 300 settlements that are scattered there on the west bank with absolutely 0 a location. and 0 development in the palestinian sector. what's the legal status? and we touched on this earlier as did our correspond a bit are always bears repeating what's the legal status of the settlements and expanding the settlements. the world aren't many legal questions that have a unified collective answer, but by almost the entire international community, like the question of the legality of settlements. the international community was, is very clear about it. the sacraments, both of them are illegal. it's, it's, it's prohibited to transfer population student population from the occupying power to the occupied territory. user has done so. moving more than almost half a 1000000 east, or at least to the west bank and 230000 board east jerusalem,
5:13 pm
violating, breaching international law and basically get a get away with it. also what we see today in the last few months when he's released openly pursuing and i'm extension a love just to talk to about the legal aid, the your amex ition is that the world stand still. states extends id by does nothing at the same time when the world places sanctions against vladimir booked in for annexing good. the crimea and the 2 boston other a sections of, of the you create the exception east policy towards these read the allowing is right to get away with from the violation of the most basic principles of international law is what makes the government. these are so bored to do a step like that to that we're seeing today. so look, that all leaves me with one question, which is where this takes, where this takes us, where this takes the israeli palestinian conflict. let me ask it this way. it's all
5:14 pm
of a sudden every buddy on every side of this conflict decided, hey, let's go for the 2 state solution that's actually have 2 states. once the policy is once it is released, we're gonna call it palestine. we're going to call it israel. would it still be doable? and i believe that it is doable. i think the question is not only will we have 2 states, but also what would be the relationship between those 2? and i think the idea of complete separation, the idea of seeming to borders and having policy. and so these are, these never meet each other in their old system is something that the test page we will have to leave with each other and pasting and have a links to, to drop by and how you find these reland. and there are, is there any jews will have a links to still historical religious culture links to places within palestine and we will have to find a way to live together in this moreland micros fraud. thank you so much for joining

5:17 pm
the media. how does the narrative improve public opinion and norma? spite, you might not be the most important story about china of the day, but that's what the big piece attention to. how is this has been jim listened. rephrasing the story. the listening post, i fixed the media. we don't cover the news, we cover the way the news is covered. the watching alpha 0 reminder of our headlines this our news 3 days ceasefire has begun in sedan. the truce brokers by the us and saudi arabia follows the killing on saturday of 17 people in an air strike on the capital cartoon. the un secretary

5:21 pm
a new constitution will bring peace to molly. a country that has been undergoing a spiral of violence and that will give greater power to the president, but limited power to only one mandates. if they hope that the new constitution will reflect the molly and people in all its diversity. and the hope that they will in store a form of democracy that will be accepted by all. but there are those that call for know in this referendum saying that the secular nature of the text doesn't reflect the ancient history, the sonic history that this country has. and then there was there was that or calling for a boycott for this selection, saying that the military june are not legitimate because they have not been elected by the people to run such a vote. also notice in this pulling station, you see people working here, but there is no independent observers, aside from the united nation peacekeeping mission,
