for a 2 state solution, albeit without proposing any new initiatives. during his short press briefing in ramallah, blinking went on to say this, it's also important to continue describe not only reducing violence but ensuring that ultimately the israelis and how seems likely enjoy the same right. the same opportunities what we're, what we're seeing now, palestinians is a shrinking rise and not expanding one. and that to we believe needs to change and new blinking will earlier we asked sammy, so call who was a journalist based in jerusalem about his take on blink. and visit in israel and the palestinian territories. well as z a secretary of state, of course it showed his close ties to israel. a he met with a prime minister,

the minister of the fans dead. there had this kind of like very close sailing on security issues. and also all the issues connected to these early society. but both was really a striking where he says statement that he made in ramallah, the kind of sympathy that he expressed towards the palestinians. and also if it condemning our or criticizing the kind of policy, is 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 it policies that this government wants to promote semi circle in jerusalem there. well,

how tangled and complicated the israeli palestinian conflict is that grass roots level can be seen in the example of a tiny bit of one village in the west bank. some right wing politicians want to see it demolished. palestinians and israeli rights groups oppose this move with a deadline looming to decide on the village as fight once and for all. the village of hon. alice mar, home to around 200 palestinian bedouins, may seem humble. but it's at the center of a year's long legal battle that has gained international attention. in 2018, israel's highest court ruled in favor of demolishing the village which had been built without construction permits. israel's government decided not to follow through after outcry from the international community but a new far right government, led by prime minister benjamin netanyahu might change that. lindsey on february,

demolished, the peace process ends his, its national community capable of preserving this village in order for peace to happen or not. with the e u diplomats visited hon. olive mark to put that question to the test. they fear that a decision to evict would only fan the flames of conflict. then we wouldn't be on the way tave for further settlement construction, which is also against international law. and which is a clear stand of my government and which in addition politically would be it would put the perspective of the 2 state solution at 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 at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. peruvian law makers have failed to agree on a plan to bring forward elections. president dina bella was
