with a counter—proposal that is based mainly on allowing the people of gaza to stay in their own land. so it's the possibility of going ahead with redeveloping gaza without the need to relocate the people. into egypt, intojordan, and that was totally rejected by both cairo and amman. so today they will be discussing a counter proposal whether or not it will be adopted, it remains to be seen, but we have also to note that the reconstruction process of gaza, it is widely believed that the gulf countries, the oil—rich kingdoms, will have the lion's share in funding all of that. because it's believed to cost billions of

security, that falls in line with america first principles with america first principles as far as i and president trump are concerned so he has rattled the cage a bit. and now they are saying suddenly they found more and are coming to the table with more, fine with us, we have been asking for a table with more, fine with us, we have me n asking for a table with more, fine with us, we hav-ing for a - table with more, fine with us, we hav.~ ., ~ , ., table with more, fine with us, we hav.~ ., ~ ., ~ decade. we have ambassador mark wall with us... — decade. we have ambassador mark wall with us... that _ decade. we have ambassador mark wall with us... that is _ decade. we have ambassador mark wall with us... that is the - wall with us... that is the national _ wall with us... that is the national security - wall with us... that is the national security adviser i national security adviser walls. he told president zelensky to tone down his criticism of what he calls the president of peace, donald trump, you can enter war without talking to both sides, thatis without talking to both sides, that is common sense, he said. he thought president zelensky will sign up to the deal that will sign up to the deal that will give the us rare minerals very soon. those are visits expected next week by the french president and uk prime

minister both due to meet president trump at the white house, hoping to bring down the temperature of the language. with me is now is simon smith. he's served as british ambassador to ukraine, the republic of korea, and austria. he is now the chairman of the ukraine forum at chatham house. the thing that stood out for me was when he said what more could president zelensky want than economic cooperation with the united states? there is an obvious answer to that question, president zelensky would want a security guarantee.— would want a security guarantee. would want a security auarantee. ., , ., ,., guarantee. that is the reason he said he — guarantee. that is the reason he said he hasn't _ guarantee. that is the reason he said he hasn't signed - guarantee. that is the reason he said he hasn't signed a - guarantee. that is the reason l he said he hasn't signed a deal on the minerals yet.— on the minerals yet. exactly. but he on the minerals yet. exactly. itut he is _ on the minerals yet. exactly. but he is saying _ on the minerals yet. exactly. but he is saying why - on the minerals yet. exactly. but he is saying why hasn't l on the minerals yet. exactly. l but he is saying why hasn't he signed, what more could he want? that is the answer. with the public discussion on the proposed minerals deal, there

has been an absence of an answer to the question what does president zelensky get out of this? it is reported he is signing away $500 billion worth of his country's resources, what does he get? we know the answer, you and i, president zelensky is very keen to have serious and substantial participation of the united states in a security guarantee. it is easy to say who doesn't want peace, none of us will put our hands up and say we don't want peace but it is important for us to achieve a just and sustainable peace and without a security guarantee for ukraine, the risks that vladimir putin will sit back, recover, the risks that vladimir putin willsit back, recover, come back and have another go are high. t back and have another go are hiuh. . . back and have another go are hi h, , , ., , high. i guess that will be high on the agenda, _ high. i guess that will be high

european powers towards their own security. what i hope he will also do is remind president trump, this is not a question of america paying for europe's security. i am sure president trump knows that there are many, many aspects in which the united states' security is tied up with europe's. i'm sure they will not reinvent the wheel in terms of starting from that point in terms of saying here is what happens in america. and happens in america. and presumably _ happens in america. and presumably get - happens in america. and presumably get a - happens in america. and presumably get a sense of what the strategic objectives of america are as well because by all appearances president trump and president zelensky do not get on, there is a war of words there but beyond that, one of there but beyond that, one of the serious objectives, we know donald trump likes to feel that he responds to those who have slighted him or done something that he doesn't like but is

there an objective for america beyond these words? i there an objective for america beyond these words?- there an objective for america beyond these words? i am sure there are _ beyond these words? i am sure there are objectives _ beyond these words? i am sure there are objectives beyond - beyond these words? i am surei there are objectives beyond the words but you have put your finger on it, there are small picture questions here and there 1575 00:22:12,092 --> 00:22:12,
