about a peace process or has that been largely abandoned. well there has been no peace process now for many years the underlying causes off this conflict have not been addressed and i think time and time again we see tensions we see such rounds of violence we've seen of wars in the past 10 years and it shows that this conflict it's not just simply going away and that the international community needs to engage with it and also you know to show to give people here a sense that those underlying causes and the issues here actually being tackled and that this goes beyond statements in times of crisis like this trying to thank you very much that was our jerusalem correspondent tanya kramer.
