jerusalem for, for us rebecca that was this joint press conference today. what else can you tell us about that? well, it wasn't anything particularly surprising, perhaps it came out of that joint statement, gearhart or nothing that we perhaps weren't expecting, but it did offer some clues. i believe benjamin netanyahu really skirted around the issue of the tensions and the incidents of in recent days here, rather focusing on 2 major g, a political issues at the u. s. and the israel are aligned on, namely their iran and the abracadabra ha mccord which of course the easy relations or the between israel and some of its arab neighbors. blinking on the other hand, did make mention of recent events, or of course, giving his condolences but stressing the need for the escalation as we had expected . and really, you know, as you mentioned,

reiterating their support for 2 state solution and a move towards pace. he said that the abraham accords alone were not a substitute for pace with the palestinians. and he did re emphasize that to state solution as i just mentioned, as being the only way forward and that any moves to go against that would be met with a straight from the u. s. that they would not be happy if israel didn't try and move toward some kind of pace with the palestinians. something else that stood out, of course, at the end was dead with talk of this shed democratic values and interests that it was the foundation of their relationship as he put it. now benjamin netanyahu also underscored democracy. so it's clear that that a major part of their conversation today was of course, the proposals by the new, far right government to overhaul the judiciary. so some definitely some clues, but no,

nothing too surprising to come out of the statement. so blinking about good stress, the strength of the u. s. israeli alliance. how's build up? go down in ramallah web. lincoln is expected to mol, wont palestinians are unlikely to be surprised by the status and strength of the relationship between israel and us and blinking mentioned the 75 year special relationship. and this is not something that the palestinians are going to be shocked by. but they can take some small hope, perhaps from some of the things that blink and had to say, when he mentioned the importance of maintaining the status quo, the holy side of al axa, also known as the temple mount by jews. and he did reiterate the need for a 2 state solution of the u. s. desire for a 2 state solution. he said, any steps that would harm what would be read that would harm that he said, solution would be rejected by the u. s. and be harmful to both sides. so that's probably a nod to the far right. members of netanyahu's alliance, dubuque,

responded rebecca rivers. they're reporting from jerusalem for us. thank you. we're back there to look now. some of the other stories are making headlines around the world today. a russian strike has killed one person and wounded 3 more in hard gifts. according to the regional governor miss, i'll hit a residential building, ukraine's 2nd largest city. late on sunday, at least 3 more people were killed by russian shelley in pearson, jacob original russia, fullest prime minister, matos moreover, etzky says the country is planning to spend 4 percent of his gross domestic product on its military this year. that would be the highest percentage long nato countries . poland is working to expand its army following russia invasion of ukraine. nato secretary general has urged south korea to provide military support for the government in ukraine. stroke back has been meeting officials and so hoping to persuade the government to reverse a longstanding battle supply weapons to countries engaged in active cult

to get russian rockets down. russian launches a lot of missiles, doors to the right in cities taught towards infrastructure. and the jets are the part of our air defense efforts, all of sholtes. the chancellor here is already positioning himself as very skeptical of sending fighter jets to ukraine. what you say to that? while we've been very consistent in talking to different international partners and looking what kind of equipment we can get from them. and my priorities as ambassador here from the very beginning where armored vehicles made, metal tangs and air defense systems and jewelry units. and we are progressing
