how much we're going to really get we still have time to go. i'm doing all me flex, subscribe, or more videos like the me the where all dreaming of taking off over things again. but what really awaits experts say when travel restrictions, these customs cues will be longer than ever. this one just be flipping through, passports, they'll be test results and vaccination certificates to check. cruise ships and hotels will take a tough line to the industry. you will have to,

to new hiking measures like touchless toilets, etiquette all mean higher ticket prices. before the pandemic, venice was overrun with tourists residents wandered, restrictions, careful what you wish for now, the streets and waterways are empty. the city depends on tourism. the w. mcsaunder reports on how bennett is looking to strike a balance as if re opens for business. a gondola ride is probably the most romantic experience you can have here in venice. even for a veteran candle, ye married your car a little, annoy quando port, yamuna persona. we take someone with us or we try to make them live the dream. sonya she is one of the cities, roughly $600.00 gone. no, yes. usually carlotta with a 3 tours a day. but the pandemic has practically run him out of business though over day from october to no, i've only done one writing. this city just came out of

a locked out, but said mark square is still be really quiet. the world famous cathy slowly and remains closed during the week before the pandemic streets were packed with tourists from all over the $20000000.00 visitors each year brought money, but also changed the face of the city. over the years, venice became almost entirely dependent on tourism and the pandemic with its travel restrictions and locked down further, laid bare the issue. these can phase here, once popular tourist destinations are now closed due to a lack of customers. but now there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel, though nobody really knows how exactly and when tourism will restart. some have hopes that a new start will bring changes. the v was auto is an activist with vanessia dot com . the group installed this counter in the window of a pharmacy. to help publicize the declining number of resident, 50900. 65 is the actual number of people citizens living

today. here in venice, that's 30 people less than a week before. over tourism has been driving people out of the city, but the problem is more complicated than that. then it's itself suffered from the fact that a lack of tourism was also the lack of a lack for many, many people. and therefore this is what we are experiencing now. it's a very strange situation. we don't want to much tories him because he would suffocate the place. but at the same time, we can't leave without tourism in a place where everyone lives off tourism one way or another. it is difficult to find a balance. the cities tourism counsellor says that the situation is not unique to venice, but rather venice is in need of a unique solution. yeah, no, no,

i stopped having booth on it and then it has not been sold out in a derogatory sense. all 2 cities have experienced the last few years in the absence of was to protect certain segments of the city. i. however, it would be essential to obtain special laws. presidio, such as venison, lawrence if allowed to be able to balance out the relationship between 2 with one and venetians caught up you equity. but i'm going to report to the steven. if danny has a 1st step, the city has begun to closely monitor visitor numbers starting next year. tourists will have to pay a fee to enter the city. but more it took a lot of mrs. what some people consider the bad old days. i'm give out the go, man, i'm old who i would also go back to what it was like 2 years ago. you list people, navy, but it wasn't a massacre like they were saying. it was sustainable. about the debate over the future. tourism in venice is far from over,

but for now most people here cannot wait for visitors to return and pay for stephen joined those from our science days to get to the science at a moment. but 1st, when these board is going to reopen, not just the tourists, of course, but people who haven't seen their families in such a long time. i haven't seen my parents in australia for 2 and a half years. so officials that i asked her, expecting, well, bought a, i've not been october 2021. unfortunately this isn't going out in an australia. it's expected not be until mid 2022. that's a big weight. yeah, i know it's a bit better in europe. so some countries like poland already open with exceptions like you need vaccinations. some countries like denmark is coming to open fully on the 26th of june variance complicating this a little bit. so israel was planning to open up at the end of may not looking like that would be pushed back to the end of june. but still, you know, quite think so there's hope, but i mean, even if we can,

should we be going in thing i love was, it's a bit of a moral question. it's really complicated. one isn't, and i haven't seen my family for a long time either. and i've been thinking about it a lot in terms of the pandemic, the things we have to think about the vaccination, right? we have to think about new variance, we have to think about the new infection rates in that country. and then also support a question and it depends on the restrictions of the country or coming from both of the country going to i find that quite interesting reading about what flights are doing. so flights have an i filter system that's used in operate in pricing theaters and it cleans the f as in the 40 times an hour. some of them on letting me letting people go and economy seats in the middle of the aisle. and they did in fact the plane with between flights. so it's, yeah, it's kind of complicated but that's why we have government and public health authorities to give us indication of the it sounds like we're not going to return

to normalcy when it comes to travel. it's, it's going to be a different experience. yeah, i think it's going to be so different. you know, experts against experts the saying that much like 911 completely trains the travel industry in terms of security. that is what it's going to be like. now for health, you know, your health is going to be as important as a ticket or if possible. so we're going to see an explosion in technology and apps that shower health data. but there's going to be questions that come along with that. many public health experts calling from us to be mandatory and flights. this doesn't have to be a completely bad thing. you know, lots of lots have been on holiday and then got there and you've caught something of the flight and it's your holiday. and so, you know, maybe that's home. what about what the science says? does that should have lied on it on any of this, or how it's going to work out? yes, so there was a study in the long says journal, published at the beginning of this year and it looked at the impact of travel restrictions on the import rights of cove it. and what it found was that blanket

complete travel restrictions only really benefit the spread of virus and limited scenarios. so number one is if you've got a very, very low case load in that country, so you feel and with a good example. last, last number 2 is if, if cases in your country growing and it's about the tip and to exponential, they also sign nice hit that new variance with, consider if you want to keep new varying out. and that's when they can be useful. they really caught on government to, to make kind of tailored approaches to different countries and use my thought to date data. and it's helpful to us as well to know the april of epidemiological tones. it's not just the case of the country anywhere at any point during the pandemic. sometimes you can in the right in the right circumstances. so different people, stevens, thanks for coming. so the world's slowly opening up again. i've managed to book a little trip to the greek islands, fingers crossed the country,

hooking up again tourism accounts for about a 5th of grace's national output. travelers will need a negative test or proof of destination and they'll have to fill out a passenger located form. so no quarantine on arrival, which is a good thing. and tourists are also back in washington d. c. it had some of the toughest and he covered regulations is reopening, highlights the nation steady transition back to normality. the tourism sector does continue to struggle. it's a great question today on the travel industry from one of our youtube uses saints and scholars. i'll let derek williams take care of that. oh, you could do to go to insist the vaccine mandatory for travel. oh, i knew expert on ethics, but i'd like to explore this anyway. it's rapidly turning into a very big issue. decisions are already being made by governance and businesses and universities. you name it about whether or not to grant privileges

or impose restrictions on things like travel based on vaccination status. the 1st point to make, i think, is that all major health authorities are advising people who can be vaccinated to get vaccinated as a way to protect yourself, but also as a way to protect others. and, and that 2nd part is the real ethical crux. by choosing not to get vaccinated, you could potentially catch and pass on a deadly disease to other people so, so seriously simplified and boiled down. this question becomes kind of a classic face off between an individual's right to choose what's best for them. and what expert authority say for all of us currently complicating the picture, is that both individual nations and the global community are still divided into

haves and have nots. is it fair to grant those lucky enough to have gotten a shot privileges like the ability to travel when, when they're denied to those who, who are still waiting for one? it's a tough question. it's certainly not fair, but for me, at least it seems justifiable. things should get more clear cut in a year or 2. i thank once everyone has had an opportunity to get vaccinated because they are we have precedence. many places already have vaccine requirements for, for other diseases. if you want to travel from germany to a tropical country, for example, where certain pathogens are endemic, but you have to get nice unaided against them in advance period. and nobody complains one way or the other, regardless of the ethical aspects. i think most countries will at least impose

covert 19 vaccine related restrictions on people who are crossing their borders. many have already done so me get my 2nd shot before that. no trip to grace. thanks for watching. stay. thanks, nancy. again, this is her into the conflict with jim sebastian, nevada. and because ation between israel and the palestinians are gone into the 2nd week, i guess this week from jerusalem is michael freeman, policy advisor, israel's foreign minister country. now listen to the key criticisms being leveled by the bible ministration and go back to seeking a 2 state solution. conflict on dw outdated medical infrastructure,

overwhelmed intensive care unit in romania. this is lead to hospital fires with the deadly consequences. the doctor diana. but she got lost her father in one of them. now she's fighting to improve her countries health care system. focus on europe. in 60 minutes. ah, excuse me. every day. for us and for our planet. ideas. way to bring you more conversations. how do we make or how can we protect what to do with them all our ways

we can make a difference by choosing smartness solutions over staying said in our way, the ideas, mental theory that little 3000 on d, w online when i say fire in itself is not an aim, your government has no intention of allowing yourself in palestinian states to be created. does it? the patterson is refusing to come from stations with violent confrontations between israel and the palestinians has gone into its 2nd week with consulting mounting around the world. at the high number of civilians that discussion in gaza. i guess this week from jerusalem is michael freeman, policy advisor, israel's foreign minister when his country now listen to the key criticisms being leveled by the biden administration and go back to seeking

a 2 state solution. the michael freeman. welcome to contact zone. thank you for having me. last sunday, israeli forces killed at least 42 people in gaza, including at least 10 children that was in one day. your prime minister is on record as saying how much and islamic jihad paid and will pay a very heavy price for their belligerents, their blood is forfeit. well, by now the death toll is well over a 100, and the 61 children are reported dead is not enough blood that's been forfeited. this is not about, you know, that the death of innocence for us is a tragedy. and this is about come us who've been firing rockets, it is right and making and making sure the come off. can't do that again. you know the 3700 rockets fired from within garza into israeli towns and cities and villages

. and so the civilian population and we are doing what we need to do to defend our civilians. the country would do in order to do that, i understand, but what's an acceptable level of casualties for you among the palestinian population for this punishment operation of yours? well, there's no acceptable level of casualties. we don't want any casualties. every civilian casualty, every loss of life innocence is a tragedy before i'm israeli, before someone's palestinian. we're all human beings and the death of an innocent human being is an absolute tragedy. and we need to do everything we can to try and avoid those civilian casualties and do everything we can. and that's what we're doing. and that's what we will continue to do when we, when we're, when we're carrying out this operation to reduce come off capability. this is about and trying to make sure that you don't have the ability and don't have the rockets to carry on attacking us. if you want to reduce civilian casualties, why not accept the si, fi that's been offered in those his father countries around the world calling for

when a thief fire in itself is not a name, the a must be just all the time. it's just not ever but, but every time, every time we've had to cease by the fire is only ever lasted 2448 hours a week or 2 weeks, or it's ended up being wrapped as the see thing and come us through the firing. we need to make sure that we, whatever happens now, we have a sustainable period of calm so that this is not something that happens again in a few months time, but rather come off understand that attacking israel is not worth their while and they will then we will have a long period without any conflict that's in the interest of both these right event, palestinian, the death of so many palestinian children, raises questions about whether your response has been proportionate. a key factor in determining whether you acted legitimately did you. because in the face of it, there's nothing proportionate about killing and injuring 20 times the number of people killed by your enemies. what the issue about proportionality is the water,

the number of rockets that have being fight us the threat, receiving. ultimately there's a fundamental difference between the democratic state of israel and the radical terry limits. terrorists have come up, whereas we use the same values. we're talking about human beings, worried about human being, whether they were palestinians, or really absolutely, absolutely. the death of human beings on each side is tragic. you know, i'm a father of 2 young children. and when i look at my children, i think about their future me what i want for the future. but i also think about palestinian children about their future and about what is important for them. i want to see them grow up with hopes. i want to see them grow up with the future. i want to see them grow up with the, with, with, with better ideas and opportunities there. but in freeman my, my, my point. but in order to do that we need to, we need to make sure that come up. there is come out of there come after the ones who are stealing the future of palestinian children to fremont. you made that point

. my point is that you can argue justification and self defense. but it's hard to argue that the scale of damage and bloodshed that you inflict is proportionate, isn't it? that's not much, much harder to argue what we are doing everything we can as i said, to avoid civilian casualties. where you say the difference between us is this, that we use our weapons to defend down civilians and how much uses their civilians to defend their weapons. your hospital is a primary care centers you're hitting hospitals and primary health care when, when, when, when, when, when, well, where, when we are making sure that what we target weapons supplies and we are targeting, where come after putting their command and control centers. they're deliberately putting their weapon places into into next to schools in next to hospital was into civilian areas. that's what i must do. and if we're going to try and stop, come us from having these weapons and to give the palestinians a better future. we need to destroy these weapons stores and that you're going to

doesn't really know civility, even if they put that military installations close to hospitals, it doesn't relieve you of the responsibility of sparing those hospitals and medical centers. in the complex situation, you have that responsibility, you don't seem to be following that. what as far as i'm aware, we haven't had any hospitals and in gods, there are 2 things that we do. firstly, we check the number of civilians that are there. and if we see there are a number of millions in the area we call off any air strike or any or anything we're going to do because we want to avoid civilians and we give warnings to all those in the area. if we're going to destroy a building and we're going to do a command and control center from phoning people from giving warning shots in advance, we do everything we possibly can with, with those kinds of things. and as you well know, tim, when western countries face and fight against the terror organization embedded in civilian populations,

israel is doing very well writ written relatively in terms of avoiding civilian casualties compared to other western countries have had face the same situation. mr . freeman, let's take your destruction of the gaza building, which has the associated press and al jazeera. you claim that hamas also operated from there, but the n g o reporters without borders says it has reason to believe your military, intentionally targeted media organizations and intentionally destroyed their equipment. is that true? are completely reject that's. that's a proposed with suggestion. israel is known for a free and open press. you've been here number of times yourselves, you know, the press, they have complete freedom. we have a democratic system, we have debate, we have numbers of newspapers and televisions, and everybody is free to go about. we have absolutely nothing against the press quite the opposite. we encourage the press to operate air and to shine a light on things. if anything,

it's how much to do not want the press and do not want people looking at what they're doing well, but not born in the house. reproaches without borders. with challenge that it said by the 17th of may, your forces had destroyed the offices of 23 international and local media organizations. that doesn't sound much like an accident. does it more of a pattern? is it? well, when we, the building that you refer to, we targeted could come up, come off, had a command and control into that. they were planning terrorist activities against the communities outside the inside is right outside of the god of border. they were planning specific tara operations from within that building and noticed event, our citizens, we decided to stop them being able to attack us. we gave everybody plenty of warning and plenty of time before we destroyed that. i'm not disputing that you gave a warning, but us secretary of state lincoln said he has not been given additional intelligence material about the attack on this building. but he has pointedly declined to support your declared motivation for the strike. my question is,

will you assist an independent investigation which is calling for when, when we have provided, as you said, we provide intelligence information to our allies in america, which clearly show the status of that building being used by the terror organization. and we hope that we will be able to, in the near future declassify more of that information. so the world can see exactly how come up with cynically manipulating the media, manipulating the civilian infrastructure in order to put themselves in that building supreme. and let's just look at some of the background to this latest violence that we're weeks of clashes in east jerusalem before the fighting began in the gaza strip and some of your cities. why within those serious attempts to deescalate the growing tensions? well actually we made a number of attempts to de escalate the support putting out putting a barrier stop palestinians gathering in the evening at the damascus gate that was

pretty inflammatory while we when and after a couple of days we removed the barriers, but we did, we took another a number of other steps as well. we banned jews from going to the temple mount the holiest science in judaism. we banned them from going up there, including during the jerusalem day the jerusalem day parade. but we hold every year, we change the roots of that the court case that was going on in the supreme court. we delayed it for for a month. the number of in century balloon attacks that were being fired over from gaza, setting fire to voc swain's of agricultural of agricultural land in the border inside israel. we didn't respond in any way to that. we did everything we possibly could to de escalate, but come on, you didn't, would you everything did you? because you had police firing rubber bullets inside the mosque, the 3rd holiest shrine in his lamb and in the middle of the holy month of ramadan. now that wasn't calculated to come tension, was it with tim,

from ever since israel has been in control of the the old cities since 1967, we've guaranteed freedom of religion and freedom of worship. and every year, hundreds of thousands of muslims come to the temple come to the temple mount and they pray at the alex and most during ramadan, hundreds of thousands of wasn't every year. you're sharing my question, i'm talking about foreign robin. i'm coming to it. now i'm coming to it, i'm coming to it. i'm coming to hundreds of thousands of moves and pray peacefully . this year. for some reason, the. there were a small group of people of agitators, big, big, dictated to by comma, who decided to gather stones and gather rocks. and gather fireworks and gather slaves and to throw them on the jewish worship. visit the western war below, to throw fireworks at them to throw rocks at them to attack the police, who were in the area. and the police like in any other country, decided to restore order because praying is something we encourage. praying and worship is something we want on the temple mount having a group of radicals and extremists who are going to be attacking and preventing

people from worship. that's not acceptable when we acted as any country would to restore law and order law. order is important and very wrong, and they say they were being provoked by jewish extremist. mr. mr. freeman, even though the fighting has gone on the white house's signal, serious concern, not just about your evictions of palestinians. you mentioned the ongoing court case which, which was delayed, but about the frequent bulldozing of palestinian homes on may. the 11th joe biden spokesperson said, us officials had spoken candidly to you about these issues and about how those evictions and demolitions work against what she called our common interest in achieving the solution to the conflict. in other words, stop it. are you going to stop it? these evictions well nosing while they there that the situation and shape gera to court case, we have a number of palestinians who live in and in these,

in these buildings and changed our policy. and i was, we live in east jerusalem, and there is an ongoing court case and there's a number of them who say that they don't recognize the rights of the jewish people who say they own the building. there are a number of people who are number be assigned to least with the people who are in the building and therefore recognize, but it stopped paying. it's gone through the court rover 10 years. and the supreme court in israel will make a ruling on this. and the supreme court and the judiciary in israel is recognized as an independent judiciary, which is well respected throughout the world for it's for it's independence and for it's judy prudence. and so just it's not just shake gera, the white house he's talking about last year, according to the u. n. u. demolished 848 palestinian structure in the west bank and jerusalem. displacing almost a 1000 people, as i said, according to you and are you going, are you going to stop doing this? because this is what is causing concern at the white house,

the highest levels of the us administration, the way we, we will, we want to encourage a piece processing discussion with the palestinians when people are building illegally, then the civil, the civil authorities, make sure that people don't build it equally, those buildings can often be dangerous. they can be in stable or unstable, and they can cause a dangerous both to the inhabitants of the people around them. but the real and all of these issues that have been talking about need to be discussed in conversations with the palestinians face to face and the palestinians refusing again to come to negotiations with us. you know, my, my, my boss, the, for the foreign minister was called repeatedly for the palestinians to come to the table and to instantly goes jasons with us and to move these issues forward. so that's really what we would like to see happen. this white house, once a political settlement that leads to a 2 state solution, but your government has the intention of allowing a sovereign palestinian state to be created. does it for the 1st stage needs to be

the pallet. the thing is comes to negotiate and table. there's nothing we can't talk about where what the end of the process and you can, you can we've had a raft of contradictory statements from the government over the years about how they're not going to allow a palestinian state in 2015. your prime minister said benjamin netanyahu, if i'm elected, there won't be a palestinian state in 2017. he said, what i'm prepared to give the palestinians isn't exactly a state with all the past, but a state minus and your cabinet minister saki make me said last, you israeli settlers don't need to worry because there will never be a palestinian state. so that's why i ask you whether you have ruled out a 2 state solution. it things from these comments that you absolutely have. what i said to the important thing is to stop in negotiations and see where the negotiations go. but it's really well we need to,

we need to we also need to see what any palestinian state would be if a palestinian state is going to be garza or it's going to be serial or it's going to be iraq or it's going to be another failed state that doesn't have any rights and has internal conflicts and war and bombings. and there isn't an attacking israel as a neighbor then that's certainly not in the interest of israel. i would argue it's not an interest of the palestinians, and it's not in the interest of the neighborhood. so we have to establish exactly what form of state we're talking about. and we have to have negotiations with the palestinians. and if the kind of thing is a willing to talk to us and to negotiate with us, i am sure that we will come to an answer and something that works both israel and the palestinians it needs to do. you've already had a thing and you've already given your answers with the quote. so i just gave you, president biden said last week, he wants to see steps to enable the palestinian people to enjoy dignity, security, and freedom. the implication being that they don't have any of those things when it

israel going to take those steps. well, we would like to see the same thing. i want to say the palestinians have a better future. i want to see them have freedom. i want to see them have all of those, all of those things that you mentioned to him. but at the moment as you know, god was controlled by us. the palestinian areas are controlled by by the palestinian authority. they haven't had free elections in 15 years in the, in those areas there in garza come off who received billions of dollars of aid instead of spending that money on hospitals on schools, on even vaccines for cobra. they've spent that money on building terra networks on building rockets on building tunnels for the palestinians to have a better future, which is in it's in my interest. i want the palestinians to have a better future. i want their children to have the same hopes and the same opportunities that my children have been ordered to do, that they need to have a leadership interest. and if you genuinely wanted those things you were talking

about, you do something about the fact that millions of palestinians in the occupied territories have no right to the government whose armies rule whose army rules over them. even palestinians who are permanent residents of jerusalem can't take part in national elections. why not? well, the palestinians who live in the west bank and gaza can take part in elections at the past. you know, 30 would have them in 2006 was the last elections they have for the and they haven't had rail. i'm talking about elections when a government of israel, the occupying power in west bank. and he threw solomon a senate, a bunny saunders himself, a jew, put it over the weekend. israel remains the one sovereign authority in the land of israel and palestine. and rather than preparing for peace and justice, its been entrenching its army cool and democratic control. i suppose you'd say he doesn't know what he's talking about. what i think we have to separate between

israel and the, the west bank and gaza inside israel. every citizen jew arab christian was slim. it doesn't matter who has the right to vote and have full democratic, right? you know, we've, as you know, we've had 4 elections in the 1000000 in the west bank, gaza, nice to meet someone who don't know who don't have the live on the israeli. the patients but the palestinians in the west bank and gaza have autonomy and have their own elections for their own leadership. the fact the leadership haven't held election in 15 years is not an issue that is where i have to deal with . that's an issue for the palestinian leadership, the palestinians in the world. and the palestinians offer tony on i and i step of the process and the know of course they got that also to me and they got that process. the fact they haven't had an election in 15 years surely can't be blame. we're not sure about that rights to take part in us the latest human rights report,

but then i part of it but tempered pretend i'm saying and they are the only thing that kind of thing. you living in the west bank on israeli citizen. and as you said, you're doing your rule because as your supreme court told you back in 2004, you hold that area in belligerent occupation. and now you're telling me, you know, for an agreement. but we're, we're, but in the international agreements we saw with the palestinians with the pallet 30, they are the responsible to them and to hold elections. and they haven't held elections for their own people. you seem to be avoiding the fact that the latest state department human rights report 2 months ago, highlighted widespread discrimination, suffered by palestinians and other minorities under your effective rule. have you read this report or don't you bother with them? of course we read all the reports so you will know that it says arab muslims, along with christians, jews, and ethiopian citizens face persistent institutional and societal discrimination.

exactly the same criticism that it flags up year after year about which israel does precisely nothing. why is that? when i don't agree, that is right, does nothing. i think that israel is taking significant steps to to, to address these issues. but you're right, like other countries in the world we have, we have faults, you know, there are every country, every democratic country in the world, hospitals will perfect. i'm not here to tell you that israel's a perfect company, just massive. we've again, we've got we've got, well, we've got problems and we've got challenges and if you're talking about israeli arabs and you're talking about other minorities within israel, it's an issue that we have to deal with. this is where you were challenging. i'm for example, but it has been worried about it when i, when i don't think, i don't think we have ignored it. for example, in higher education in the last 7 years, there's been an 80 percent increase in the number of israeli arabs who are going

into higher education. there are programs to invest significantly in the last 3 to 5 years. the amount of money that we've invested in the arab sector in society is greater than anything we've invested ever before. we are consistently working on these issues. but you're right tim. but what about what about, for instance? well, report has that all those provides that all residents of jerusalem are fully and equally eligible for public services. the municipality and other authorities failed to provide sufficient social services, education infrastructure and emergency planning for palestinian neighbourhood. why that discrimination, mister freeman, why? what? because as i said, you were working to address some of these issues. but if we take from just as an example of the recent covert outbreak and the vaccination campaign that is right around most successful campaign, we vaccinated every single israeli. whether they would do with they were arab,

the christian wisdom, every single person was vaccinated, it didn't matter who they were or where they were. they were vaccinate, according to age, and only according to age. and then as they went down everybody's been vaccinated and that's the reason that today we don't have cov, it is a serious issue inside israel because our entire population, every single person do arab from jerusalem, east, jerusalem, west jerusalem from the north of the country. the south, the country, everybody's been vaccinated, including by the way, hundreds of thousands of palestinians that we've also vaccinated, and a lot of time to stay in, in the west bank and, and eastern them who were turned out of their houses in the middle of the pandemic . you don't mention that mr. freeman in the time we've got left. if the biden administration office to restart torps, will you sit down and the dress, the institutional and societal discrimination to which the us, your closest ally says you've subjected the palestinians. when you do that, we can calling on the pallet thing and to return to negotiations and to have

discussions with our. so if, if anybody can bring the palestinians to the table, then that would be a positive thing. we need the palestinian authority to do that. we need them to come to the table and say they are willing to talk to us and willing to discuss a better future for israelis. i'm for palestinians with certainly in favor of them . a few years ago, your former prime minister barak warned you that if the occupation continued, israel, he said, would inevitably become either non jewish or non democratic human rights group, say you've chosen the non democratic option. donald trump didn't mind that, but it seems that biden and his party do mind, are you ready for rocky? right. with this administration is rollin and america. i have a very, very strong relation. we have a very strong relation with precedent by doing the, by the ministration. when we've seen over the last couple of days in the last couple of weeks, america and president biden steadfast support for israel and israel's right defend itself. and that israel and american relations of bipartisan and funding using web

based fund, less steadfast support from the u. s. congress, particularly from democratic senators who have now floated the idea of holding up arms shipments to you because they don't like what you've been doing with the palestinians over the last few days. that's new that had happened before. there were the relationship, but the ration with his route in america is, is a long standing and it's bipartisan. and it really does cross old both parties in america. and we see you're not addressing mean parts of the democratic party. you know that, that whatever situ, we have a very strong relationship with the, with the democratic party, which is historic, you know, when i, when i come into the office every single day in the ministry of foreign affairs, downstairs, very pen that was used by president truman to sign the recognition of the state of israel freeman mccrass's president. i'm afraid we're out of time. thanks very much
