continue to strive, not only reducing violence, but ensuring that only the israelis in house in the light enjoy the same right. same opportunities what we're, what we're seeing now. house indians is a shrinking brightness. oh, now expanding one. and that to we believe the change. earlier i asked sonnus alcala journalists based on to wrestling about his take on in to mean lincoln's him as an in israel and the palestinian territories. and the secretary of state, of course, it showed his close ties to israel. a he met with a prime minister, the minister of defense ad there had this kind of like very close a link on security issues and also all the issues connected to these early society . but what was really a striking where he says statements that he made in ramallah,

the kind of sympathy that he expressed towards the palestinians. and also at condemning our or criticizing the kind of policies that the exact israeli government has decided on the last few days. he said that he is opposing the expanding of the supplement project. he's opposing the m legalization of outpost. he is opposing the demolition of palestinian homes. he opposes evictions. these are the kinds of things that we heard saturday night from the israeli government. these are the kinds of policies that this government wants to promote and just how tangled and complicated the israeli palestinian conflict is a grassroots level and be seen in the example of a tiny bedouin village in the west bank at some right wing politicians want to see demolished, i'll athenians and israel writes groups oppose the move. but the deadline looming

that a decision to evict would only fan the flames of conflict. then we will see on the way tave for further settlement construction, which is also against international law and which is a twist end of my government. and which in addition, politically would be, it would put the perspective of the 2 state solution, a serious risk in the end. the villages fate is in the hands of one of the most right when governments in israel's history let's take a look now it's mother stories making headlines around the world today. a couple in their twenties have both been jailed in iran for more than 10 years. each after posting a video of themselves dancing and the street in front of a famous airline landmark, you can see them here. according to human rights activists. they were convicted for quote, encouraging corruption and public prostitution, as well as gathering with the intention of disrupting national security. u. s.
