set their organization to do a spank facilitating the expansion of sacraments. all these developments cast down on the chances of reaching an agreement for a ceasefire and gaza and the release of the captive katya low facility, an alj, a 0 for insights story. the, well, let's discuss all of this in much more detail with today's panels of guests. and today we have from west jerusalem, but not complying. he's a professor political science at ball lawn university. and the joe dining capital amman is to honey, most of us senior palestine analyst at the international crisis group. and in ramallah abbas knew him. the executive director of the policy in farm is union. his family farm was attacked by israeli settlers last year. so let's start out discussion of what's been going on in recent days and the westbank. let's go 1st to you a boss because you all panelist, who's that in the west bank?
8:35 am
i know that you are in ramallah and most of this has been happening in the, in the northern parts of the west bank. but tell me, what does it feel like that because this we're told is the largest is really offensive since 2002, which has been the then prime minister ariel sharon took over the major cities of the westbank during the 2nd intifada. as low as the 2000 to up. so the with the, i mean it's like i didn't buy an invasion on that tax. i use a but they didn't was started. it's the army on the ship. those who are the way the pages on these i faxed you know, targeting. ready over the finally probably that is on farm us across the problem. land areas was switched back from you jeanine in the south. so if i'm so if i'm here in the south to genuine dental, yes, on business, on my luck, my farm and my friend to be, i'm from jenny and i actually. ready work and give them a lot because i'm day by the union, but my farm lands on my comedy farm lands on the mcdonald is in jeanine area that
8:36 am
has been on the on go we got a tax on both of them spies of those on. i think you the repeated invasions by his lady on me since october 7 on through now, although the is lady i fax i guess palmer that must pop from the foot by 7 was they didn't see 5 of a sudden. now it's actually for the 7 against bottom of the problems of those was 3 . i thought spend the but now the average of that tax, all it has been, i thought against almost the big i'm these are tax have resulted in the bikes, killing salt farmers in the farm lands like what happens with a farmer who's bought the union. and i saw a town between them a lot and that was the last shot that just killed by a group of fiddlers. why this 5, my world, how this thing is, all of groups last year of the farmers from sort of the town near, not most wind blowing, they have farmed on their way to also buys it goes in addition to other pins, old farmers and farming communities who when i got the severely by you to let us
8:37 am
groups who are doing these are thoughts on the channel, the is what you the me, i'm the i'm fine on. so i'm supportive financially by the ministry of finance. that is on by i see the leader in the is the way to go about month or so month or so. the situation was the bank is, will be honest, i'm more difficult. i'm complex, done the one in 2002. well, let me bring the document, let me bring in the document west jerusalem. a boss has made it clear this has been going on for many, many months in the last few days though, a major military operation. israel is saying it's planning to talk it what it calls um terrorist who poses a threat to security forces. explain to me what you understand is the object cable aim of israel is operation. is really trying to regain control over the west bank. the p a. the, the but as the nano, sorry,
8:38 am
the last and you control over the area from the south up to the north and already before october 7, there was a small uprising in the north west bank against balls the bus b, a regime m is right. and then the middle name off the los cooperation between the p a and this right. this security? yes, the not. so why don't you look at the p a hoping seriously weekends by israel have to not this really, these really goal is to control the area and the actually it reminds me what happened to gaza strip before the this war,
8:39 am
the worst small raids phase. 2000 to the 7 into the street. and then the photos that we see from the time reminds us what is going on in the guise districts the destruction of the found is that these really army uses and it got the mass sold in the smaller scale is implemented in the no, in the northwest bank it is, it is a red flag showing what may happen in the next stage. okay, so at the beginning of the program in katya is report, we heard the claims of the recycled ambassador to the united nations of israel. do i need to know now back in his old job, is that israel is that so they're on the supply palestinian fighters with the weapons? that is something putting everything in the hands of iran that i've heard many
8:40 am
times for mister dental. i'm having had dealings with him myself to honey. what do you make of those claims? what is wrong is wrong from top to transfer onto itself to us interests in the region. and yes, these groups may be receiving financial support from iran. however, they're just there for coming from in some instances as well as in the region like drawing them. for example, they may be getting some of it from another non, from pensacola. you know, if it's irrelevant in terms of where they actually getting that it just takes from these organizations on not random puppets, they all their own organizations. and there is a context that is effectively leading to the re establishment in september. these groups were practically and effective. in some cases, they were non existent in places like novelist jeanine. they were severely weekend through talk to the fascinations arrests. today they have minus to re establish themselves. and that is precisely because of the there's to be a level of violence of these communities are facing these groups, take very different defensive pasto. that is what they are. they are community defense mechanisms that are pushing back against the violence and occupation. now
8:41 am
israel, things that are kind of re establish a sense of security that i lost on the 7th of october by acting preemptively the way that it is by creating the kind of items that we're seeing. a more localized levels in the west bank that we're seeing cause a is really ministers, have made no secret about this. they've actually come out. i know 20 states that they do intended to create a sort of mini garza scenarios across the west bank. and this is coming from virginia levels. the finance minister, for instance, has opened the state to that they intend to do just by the boss of the dental and who i just mentioned was spacing in his on some of the you. and in reply to a question from alger 01 that he deliberately sidestepped and that was about comments of us that were made by israel cats. the is really foreign minister on axis said we need to deal with the threat exactly as we deal with tyra infrastructure and garza including the temporary evacuation of posting and civilians and other steps needed a box. what do you make of that?
8:42 am
the idea of going to stop moving large parts of the population in the westbank potentially what they do. the government is doing good was bank exactly implementing the policy and exceptional done and a bunch studies that he's doing. and this has been announced by the whole government in 2020 when he was quoted for the next session and the imposing that is what? 80 low on the respond area is what something give you. it's low. yes, yes i it's been such against us, but we haven't. you've seen what's happened in garza in to our parts, so they've got protection constantly on the move. forced it back to asia. how fearful all you that sort of thing is coming to the west. spunk. they are doing the same i'm, this is we have about they bought blacklisted and they even facebook page. it said that we were doing exactly what we are doing. the gaza die with the suicide. the world war is hopping and getting guys that there is an easy blue book building and
8:43 am
which side global war is focusing on the in terms of this massive destruction of every living below their living bed and goes up the ice. all basically the zip was on the west side, land build the land in different i'm farmers and different people to do so. the imposing, i'm calling about being part of the kind of the i'm the, i'm really sure do it to disagree with just from the saying about it is because i was in geneva doing so i'm told what streaming why most people are going. so it is because your patients are still there since 75 years on the now, most people are existing, i'm better than message. i'm the senior people. there's no more professional respect. no, most of the months. it was back this long because i look to buy land and the land is owned by studios. and from the time when 1st thing is accepted, this is put a concession on site and also agreement on thing. now what we're not doing was last
8:44 am
last on line for the 6 for the 6, for the sake of the expansion, best go, one of those not been even beast. lots of cut the lice, but his thing and independence slides will not be a good life. even the existence so, but this thing is i, as a human beings, you won't be all for me to attend. you need to come in to boss on different spots and both, but most the a, the or was thank is exactly what they are doing. and you guys are basically the same policy that same to the machine that he wasn't getting guys all using get a response. i'm just, i feel i'm on the 1st thing is it was right is on the i the, they know that they are, we're missing my site does not only by the i'll be, but also by the zip codes while i'm so i'm going to bite on me as well, i'm the ice is i mix, i'm the polls the senior man. i'm the justifies the using. know my big guy just to find that getting the 40000 people to you guys up what to do my women and children
8:45 am
. nothing kind of just if i go truly understanding destroying go i going to come shuttle bomb lives in was bank for i don't know for what lies they are using. i mean, the process was no thing that the points you make on an occupation are actually now backed by the top colt in the u. n. system, the international court of justice with its ruling in july and not contending to you. i am still despite what you will told me, a little confused about the timing of this current escalation by israel. because if you look at what is real currently has on its plate, its still fighting in gaza. its leadership is still supposed to be involved in detail, spa negotiations, of those. those seemed to have paused for the moment only days ago, that was the heaviest exchange of a fire between israel and his bullet in lebanon. i'm still pending. we have the threat of it writing in retaliation. fully assess the nation into wrong of isabel
8:46 am
how, how many of the, how much lead a so why now is role acting? it is, you're an authorized in the west bank, but bases on that he just collection and operate operation. it opportunities. and whenever it is possible is as role operates, his room does not take into consideration the west trend would protest and the anger. and it's, if our field is that the, the has free hand to do what ever she was in the west bank promote some right, because takes, and visions of its government ministers that they, they plan to do in the west bank once they've been in the casa they started with
8:47 am
small portions, they don't, they feel weeks ago they did send mail jerry cool expulsion of weekend population happened in detroit in fairly. and so, so you have room that they the problem with these really from these ready perspective, the problem of the north west bank, the rescue jacobs is different. so they need to build up big army units and destroy the roads the roads leading into and connecting different areas within the rescue. jacob. 7 and the city and the affair stayed there for 2 days, 3 days before going back to the state to phase. right. okay. so how many if i could
8:48 am
bring you in to how many, if i can bring you in. uh, as you've just heard from a knock him that he said israel is acting on intelligence. we've seen the various palestinian fighters have died, including it seems some come on this including the come on the to call them battalion the palestinian islamic jihad. do you think there was a deliberate target list here? i mean dissolve, has never been able to substantiate. and what are the evidence it's supposedly has and it's of never been any pressure on it to do so. right. it is able to go into these areas, conduct to talk to sometimes that to talk to the assassinations arrest. it can go in literally raise, look for a local communities to the ground, which is what it's doing. by the way, this isn't just about targeting. suppose it resistance infrastructure means you're talking about targeting health workers, mosques of schools,
8:49 am
hospitals. these are not supposed it resistance infrastructure and they've not been able to provide any substantial proof that any of the people that they are looking for are actually operating from those areas. so it either if it is, again very much taking the user any lease or p r, talking points out face value, and then having them completely on scrutinize. but what we're actually seeing on the ground is something stall, software was sorry, that more israel is painting it is doing now. as i said earlier, these groups set themselves up as a community defense mechanism. they tried to protect the communities. when it is right, it was very when israel does conduct, it's incursions. we often do cause we protest any invited to use. and often times it's not just resistance fighters, but get put up. and i'm not going to clinic profile because it's often a testing. and so that means i get caught up, you know, what are the targets the israel claims that it's, that it's supposedly aiming on. so you know, having to like, can i just kill down on who these palestinian fighters are. exactly. because in the
8:50 am
post, in the northern part of the westbank, they would have been the i like so much as brigade, i think, which would have been lied with fata, there was a group called lyons den, but now we have processing and it's not me to how to operate things well in the west bank and home us, i mean do these labels matter anymore or in any rivalry between these groups or as overall they are working together now as a mattress, the bible. this is a matter of survival that these bricks established themselves in 2021 as a mattress of bible. they, when you talk about the lines the and the janine brigades, the tool carn battalion, you know, even even now the latest group that set themselves up with a lot like these are old cross alliance based groups. these. by the way, primarily the members should actually stands not from the most extreme as elements and palestinian society. they're often coming from more or less destruction, adams like sector for example. this is a lot of this has to do with the fact that focus grassroots have no space in their own partnering that in their own political tier would. they do not feel like their
8:51 am
own party speaks to them can resonate with the reality that they live under and therefore have talked to time to write about them. it's like some sort of stormy. just had to try and get the logistics and support that they needed to find to patient. this is a matter of survival and that's exactly what these groups are. they don't really have an identity and, and of themselves. they don't have a clear, uh, come on structure they, you know, ultimately there is no identity in and of themselves that comes out of these groups . they across the minds, a mishmash of, of different a starch political factions, individuals that have joined for their own rational. but what does unite them? what is holding this momentum together? is this fight against an occupation? i don't to, patient by these riley military, but also a bus, the set close the incitement. the harassment of the settlers, often with collusion from these radio starters, these ready coats. these riley millet trees you yourself had your own from attacked
8:52 am
at the end of last year. by settlers yeah, it's not loading me. i'm one of the deals of farmers in my town and you need area code before like where most of the quote that goal is classified as any of the which is supposed to be on the occlusal all the. but it's getting to sort of d. i'm despite that the blogs have, i've got like $15000.00, which is almost $4000.00 acres. so these 9, the, the biggest thing the excess home by sticking in farms will only in development invest in my own farm and buy somebody um from the know we, i'd be able to get access to that line. and it is a farm land in a farm down the golf. and last year, the harvest week, we didn't even the harvest. i want to cops, and now we are approaching the coming on the season is that is fine. and all these farmers in my town, and as, as little as so many hundreds of farmers in the area are really scared.
8:53 am
and you can also be able to, to harvest these, all of them, all of the cops this you do with the tax on supplemental violence and the simplest controlling bar. i'm the only area see it's gotta be on the even possible $88.00. okay? but obviously let me put you in all on the settlers. none of them are supposed to be there according to international law, and that was reaffirmed by the international court of justice in the last month or so. but despite that, if israel one said it could rain these people and couldn't touch, the suck less are incorporated, they are the same. you don't need, they are the same of the ministration. what the international criminal nicole got it and they but they already come up ministration, get paid to very, very wrong. they sanction into features instead of functions,
8:54 am
the state and the state is behind deep. se the form up the same as the deed with 2 different arms. so that, that's, that's the problem here. there that this subclass, oh the fatherland circles are not in the future was implementing attack against they are be fusion or they are because of operation of the input comp, charlie, the army is there and does nothing in order to protect up on a stand. yes. okay. and so how many? oh, last point we had fresh sanctions, again, settlements from the us state department on wednesday, they sanctioned and n g o that they said provided materials support for settlements and one individual in one settlement who was a security coordinator as been all can says these are not separate these riley state and the settlers, but the us is saying they all set pro is that
8:55 am
a deliberate the state by the us? because they know that if they admitted that israel was behind the whole settler project, then they would have to think about stopping whole military aid to israel, which is something that this administration to bind into ministration. and it seems, if she is elected as president couple of hers don't want to do that's precisely yes. uh the, the us is very much well aware that this is something that goes well beyond a few 100. something is that this is a systematic state sponsored problem where you have quotes that ideas about sometimes drawings into drawings in with the spine. and today we have the scaring of the lines between stuttering sol job considering that many of those that there's the, i'll repeat offenders known to discourage establishment. now dawning military animals . i mean, this is very well aware of this, the sites that are supposed to sanction regime the, the us is busting about in terms of trying to,
8:56 am
to present itself is always trying to remedy or do something about the issue of solid violence that's been fueling the prices in the west bank if completely focused they came up with this idea back in 2023. and at the time on the support of the us state department, those that were trying to formulate and implemented dysfunctions routine, knew that it was a total failure. they knew that it wouldn't address the problem. they knew very well that this was a systematic problem. the reason why they decided to go ahead with it was to prove to those back in dc that refused at that time to try and push for any kind of political process. thinking that you could maintain the status quo that many on the ground, including the own practitioners affiliated to the us security coordinator. the us state department were wondering uh, was unsustainable. so they, they were very much aware that this, the sanctions regime what the policy that was not going to, that was not gonna remedy the issue. what they were trying to do was to exhaust all technical solutions so that they could go back to dc. i make it very clear that
8:57 am
right now is the time does not expansion political pressure specifically on this route. that was absolutely adamant on not receiving any diplomatic route with the policies. sorry to all 3 of you for your time today. all guess minot can climb to honey, most of us on a bus know him out, is there a has teams reporting across the occupied westbank and on the ground in garza state, june for extensive coverage, cost comprehensive analysis on how to 0? don't com? you have comments about the program, post them on facebook, you'll find us at facebook dot com, forward slash 8 inside story, or use x while we are at page a inside story for me, james base and the team here, please stay safe. i'll see you again. very soon, bye bye. some on counting the cost, major central banks are lowering bar and costs for all they winning the fight against inflation. why is the japanese yeah, now volatile and is it still
8:58 am
a safe haven asset plus the strategy and what? because can now like little books is outside working now is counting the cost on out is there. the illusion of anti semitism with opposition to design is a is cynical. and it is harmful, a dangerous completion between the persecution of a people and the criticism of the state is echoing across the world news rooms and to send me keys in the hatred of jews because the country is honest and it's not about judas. it's about $230.00 and we need to talk about design is a listing cost special on his jersey. we're being taken into the mangroves along on boxes coast. this is an environmental success story. what man destroyed, man is now restoring. i mean mohammed is a community leader and part of the ongoing mangrove restoration project. he tells
8:59 am
us logging of the mangroves over the years, had a severe impact. so we're now being taken to another way that the community gets income from the forest, but it's also being described to us as the forest security, the farming of the forest. let's take a look when you go and destroyed to force them to be that they had the tissue owing . explain you so people know. yeah for the, for the security is protecting and growing this mangrove forest. is it community efforts in the name of food security and job creation? a crucial realization that by taking care of nature, it gives so much more back. the latest news everywhere there is ongoing indiscriminate bombing on palestinians. he said, that's even no, that's congress in going us with detailed coverage. israel has declared a 48 hour state of emergency while as well as that is, forces are in their highest readiness from the heart of the story. this abuse state
9:00 am
of panic. some of those kind of thing is there have been living here in the hospital for more than 11 months, and now they do not know where to go. the the clock and how the top stores here on the 0. and israel's large scale military result in the occupied westbank has incidents full stay with no signs of letting up . it's killed at least 20 palestinians. intense gun battles have taken place between his ready forces in palestinian fighters, nor de hesitates as from remodel. it's the largest is really military offensive in the occupied west 9th, since 2002 all lies are on jeanine more than half of the.
