and for more i'm joined by data reporter resign as who's covered the region extensively and is following this closely for us. tensions same to ratcheting up but let's take a step back if we can take a broader look if you could explain to us you know obviously the israeli palestinian struggle isn't new and this isn't probably unfortunately going to be the last time we see conflicts like this but some of the pot power dynamics have changed can you put it in perspective how is this current conflict different from others in the past yes because what we seeing now is 3 different places where palestinians were actually spread out and you know the palestinians and and israel was but you know nurturing that the palestinians were split into 3 groups one is in gaza which we're seeing now on the hamas rule one is in the west bank which is traditionally ruled by fatah who used to be rules of all palestinians but have been
11:05 am
weakened recently and there's the israeli arabs who call themselves also palestinians there you know arabs are 48 it's all part of one people and throughout the years we've seen a lot of splits in splinters you put to political reasons and so on israel was maintaining that actually benefiting from that sort of a divide and conquer policy but what we've seen here is that you lose a limb which was what the trigger for all of that is such an emotional topic about all of them together and this is why we've seen so many different uprisings and clashes in different scenes and israel. the biggest nightmare would be for these 3 groups who so far have been operating separately due to different triggers coming together and operating simultaneously in all of these different scenes in the west bank and gaza within israeli territories that would be probably the worst case scenario for israel and probably maybe a good scenario for palestinian national nationality if you ask palestinians. but

11:07 am
been struggling the last 2 years with 4 sets of elections where he could not get a landslide he did not get enough support and at the moment of the you know last week we were at the moment the opposition forces for the 1st time seem to be making great strides in forming a new coalition without an attorney also he's ousted for the 1st time or so it seemed last week and then this outbreak comes about and it does 2 things 1st of all with the public there's a lot of support mr defense this isn't and you know it's always been he's always been seen by himself. by his supporters as mr defense for the state of israel and we also see political rival ways that have toned down everybody saying now is the time for politics we see people like banning guns he's the head of one of the leading opposition parties he's but he's also the minister of defense he's standing behind attorney out there seem to be united in this effort now so for him politically now is actually somewhat of a quiet front that gives him hope he can still reinstate his authority and his
