fired at those protesters. now tanya are these demands that we're seeing from hamas aside anything new they're saying things like we were well accept nothing less than the entirety of our land back but what's at stake here politically. i think for most it's very important to keep this momentum to keep you know those protests going to special because they have not much to show at the moment in gaza and also degree conciliation with the rival fatah party has not really materialized and to be consolation has failed so far but one has to say is that these protests have the support of all the political factions there also grassroots organizations that are part of this of this martyr returned and what they want to highlight the plight of palestinian refugees. especially now in the mail april and

may we have a lot of that more is coming up on the one hand this is about celebrating its seventy years the founding of that state on the other hand you have palestinians commemorating the naacp or the catastrophe when they had to flee their land and at the same time of course they also want to highlight that gaza has been closed off for the past ten years and that is also important to many gazans as well tanya kramer we will certainly be talking here a lot i'm sure in the next six weeks leading up to the anniversary of israel's founding thank you very much. russia has announced mortify matic expulsions in the rout over the poisoning of a former russian spy today moscow told twenty three countries that they have to send fifty nine staff members home that in addition to the sixty american diplomats expelled on thursday is the latest escalation in the standoff over the former double agent. who was poisoned along with his daughter yulia in the u.k.
