a member states or become hon gary and objections and unlock 50000000000 dollars package for the german chancellor says board, a few cranes that you are a p and allies should contribute the i'm so welcome to the program. us president joe biden has issued an executive order imposing sanctions on his riley satellites in the occupied west bank following a way of a violence. measures include the fight, include financial and travel restrictions on a small number of saplings accused to find them to tax on palestinians is right. the prime minister's office has criticized the sanctions as a necessary and describe the vast majority of satellites as law abiding. straight to my washington bureau chief n s. paul, welcome the ita. so what more do we know about the president's latest executive

order welfare list, executive orders enables the united states to impose financial sanctions on individuals who are i quote here, directing or participating in certain actions including x of frets, of violence against civilians intimidating and civilians to force them out of their homes, destroying or seizing property, or engaging in terrorist activity in the west bank. we typically see these types of financial sanctions targeting russians or citizens of states that the us as an open the conflict was. but you have never seen that targeting is rarely citizens. and so does this tell anything about the sort of pressure that mr by that must be under at the moment. oh, absolutely this phil is reading data slicing and unprecedented policy decision. i think it is fair to say that this is the most significant step. any

u. s. as in ministration in history has taken in response to violence, but it's really sets us against palestinian civilians in the west bank and indeed prove so great a frustration of the by the administration. but not only that, it also under scores a, the men's pressure president biden faces in this year, which is just the beginning of the crucial presidential election year. 70 percent of his policy disapproves. office is rally. it's right. israel policies. uh sorry. and indeed, risks losing crucial support from blackboard, those younger voters. and of course, arab americans, if he is unable to exert pressure on israel to commit to lossing ceasefire and degree to has to stay in solution until it's no incident that this order comes right in the moment before president biden was on his way to michigan. this is an

important spring state, it was a large area of american community. so i can for that. so it is pull in washington . let's get more on this from dw special correspondent to abraham, in jerusalem of this initial round target for individuals. they've been named in a press releases from the bite and administration. these are financial sanctions that are aimed at making sure that these for individuals which the us has have been involved in violent attacks on palestinians and is really subtler is really an activist peace activists in the west bank. they're aimed at making sure that they do not use the us financial system and that also to prevent american citizens from financially dealing with them. like as you have mentioned, the prime minister has already reacted to this. and to, to this executive order, seeing that it is on the necessary but also saying that's is really all stories do

what they're supposed to do to, to, to, to deal with this kind of violence in the occupied westbank, which is something that right to groups and palestinians that i've spoken to in the west bank will tell you just does not happen according to rights organizations. there's documented evidence that the israeli defense forces, and these really polices oftentimes either a company, settlers as the a, as be conducting these attacks or is sometimes even helping them with these attacks . and these attacks have seen an increase since the october 7th, a the how much terror attacks on israel, their violence and occupied westbank has been spiraling since then. and in fact, i'm united nations has documented the over at 1000 palestinians have been displaced in the occupied westbank. these are better in communities as

a result of these attacks. and all of this, of course undermines. but what the us says is it's policy, which is eventually reaching a 2 state solution because it is widely instead of the occupied bed, westbank would form the heart of any future palestinian state. and with every displacement of a palestinian that gold is pushed even further. so this is very much in line with what the us says is its policy and the region. thanks. i abraham in jerusalem . ok to us as negotiates as a waiting for a response from hamas to a new sci fi proposal for gaza. the foreign ministry, a and b i, the hamas around a foreign ministry says they've received the fund in a positive atmosphere, us, uh, egyptian, and guitar, the mediators, matthews, writing. and how does this offices in paris on sunday? i also thomas a 6 week pause in the war and an exchange of hostages. the palestinian presidents

ross is considered as a terrorist organization by multiple countries previously negotiated a week long poles and fighting in november. well depends, it goes, the size of us is preparing to take significant action against munitions which of his american targets today's the by the administration, has been hinting at strikes. if vitale action for a drone attack and remote on a remote u. s. military base in northwest and jordan, known as power $22.00, a 3 american troops were killed in the incident on sunday, defense secretary lloyd austin said it's time it's time to take further action against munitions backed by iran that have attacked us forces online and see us service members, they also said that while wishing to avoid the conflict escalating the us will not hesitate to act. the president will not tolerate attacks on american troops.

and neither will i our teammates were killed by radical militias back by iran, and operating inside syria and iraq. so this is a dangerous moment in the middle east. we will continue to work to avoid a wider conflict in a region. but we will take all necessary actions to defend the united states, our interest, and our people. and we will respond when we choose where we choose and how we choose. let's look at this with bradley bowman who were senior director of the center on military and political power in washington dc. welcome to the w once the you hearing about the when, where and how thank you for the opportunity to join the, you know, the by the ministration has been deliberately vague on the when in the how and i think that's appropriate, right?

because washington does not want to give its targets a lot of advance notice because that would endanger us forces and change the result for the same time. uh, there's been a lot of signaling here. the administration seems to be looking for some sort of goldilocks strategy if you will, where it's not too hard and not to soft. the promise of this administration for months now as, as been, the american restraint is the best path forward. the problem with that approach is that we've seen a whole more than a 165 attacks on us forces in iraq, syria, now jordan, and many republicans in congress. think that's what brought us to this horrible point where we're seeing through the lives of 3 service members taken members who will not be returning to their families. so there's many in washington pushing for strong attacks. but this is more art and science, and they're trying to find that sweet spot between establishing reestablishing bolstering deterrence, but not starting the larger war. okay, so know a when or how, what about way?

so yeah, you know, i think it's almost certain that we'll see significant attacks. this is my inform conjecture and syria are maybe in a rock. there are some just incentive to conduct these attacks and a rock. because when we talk the, when us conduct these attacks, it creates pressure in baghdad to try to evict us forces, which would be a gift to a ron and a gift to these womic states. so i think we'll probably see a tax over multiple days. certainly in syria of southern rock and perhaps elsewhere and many in washington are saying that if you just focus on the chair of proxies, the puppets, if you will, and avoid the puppet master in the wrong place, right into these long with replug were of loans, decades long strategy where they advance their interest through others and the displays the counter punches and consequences on the others. usually air ups. you talked about this, this goldilocks strategy. i know it's so hard enough to to deter further attacks, but not so hard as to provoke more attacks. escalation does

seem inevitable, as you look at the events of the last few weeks between classes between the, the idea and it has belong along the israel jordan border. the us and britain striking who's the targets in u. m. a. now, i've just talked of a of american america hitching a targets, perhaps in a syria, perhaps in iraq, a big the escalation seems inevitable. it, yes, but it is interesting that everyone sounds the alarm about escalation when america responds, you mean, imagine for people watching home. imagine your home was hit a 165 times in the homeowner, repeatedly said, knock it off, please stop, please stop. and they keep attacking your home a 165 times. when the homeowner responds, i wouldn't call that escalation. i would call that common sense self defense to knock off the attacks. i suppose. i think the real danger right now for washington

is a 2 week of response rather than too strong. sorry, rice. okay. so of the, the idea though that's but washington, whether waybill with ours, its allies goes ahead and i'm the other times they goldilocks, the response. you don't think it carries a strong risk of the whole thing going up in flames. i think it's very likely as a student of history and the student is region and the someone who's studied defense and after it is for a long time that if the us does, the strong response which i believe restoring the terms requires that you may have a short term escalation, of course, of course, we saw that in january 2020 in a rock. when after the customs sort of money killing, we saw it to us spaces in a rock hit with ballistic missiles from the wrong and active war against the rock. and at a more than a 100 us service members, which amount of brain injury. so i hope and expect the pentagon is taking steps now

to protect us forces for the inevitable response which will come. but that doesn't mean the united states can sit on our hands because we can't leave our adversaries with the impression that they can kill our soldiers and face no consequences. that's unacceptable. on the boat and from the central ministry and political power . thank you. thank you, sir. let's take a look at similar stories from around the world. now climate activities, gratitude back, has gone on trial in london, charged with breaching public order during a demonstration outside of an oil and gas conference last year. the total, i guess, pretty not guilty and faces of fine if maybe $3000.00 euros, if convicted, striking and for security staff in germany have forced airlines to cancel or d like in more than a 1000 flights 11. our thoughts are affected by the union called a 24 hour strike to press demand. the best of paying conditions are 102200000 passengers have faced disruption. ukraine says it is sunk

a russian bullshit. and the black sea using seed drones. cave says footage shows the drones attacking the ship of western crime in russia has not confirmed the ship was struck. as a latest surprise, the passage of a new 50000000000 euro support package for ukraine and european council present child. michelle said before the deal would issue a long term predictable funding for ukraine and hunger as prime minister, i think to old on finally dropped weeks of opposition. your kindness faced increasing uncertainty of 8 funding because of political in finding in the you on the us and gary and prime minister victor all done. once again in the spotlight in brussels, which he again block, then you a package for ukraine as he did last december. he did not, or he did. so when we got the 27 heads of state and government to reach political agreements, which will allow us to mobilize safety, ex,

revealing due risk as part of the ukraine facility, return the packages intended to help you create incurs bunch of gaps and pay salaries and services in the years 2024 to 2027. the relief at reaching the necessary unanimity is palpable. suddenly this is of course, a good message for the citizens of ukraine who are so challenged by the russian war of aggression. but of course also for us is that your opinions union, which has shown that it can stand together be you is withholding funding from hungary because of concerns about the root of it. all. hungary has blocked you decisions on separate issues. some of you need us make clear what they think of people all bunch tactics. there's no problem with so called to you, you know, you're quite in fact the for sure. we have for the month, at the end of the investments we have so many things to, to solve. i don't want to use the word slack made, but i don't know why she has her better words. hungry itself rejects these

accusations in return for all bunch concession you leaders have agreed to remain flexible when it comes to paying out the new age to ukraine. the big question now is victor on the change of heart be permanent. let's pick that up where that comes from the jack power in brussels. the welcome jack. so tell us more about how they got evict to old on to shift. he's longstanding objections. yeah, well it was a really strong vi tell me that he was fully insistent on and has been speaking publicly many, many times against the approval of these 50000000000 your a fund. i'm in the end. it seems that all that it required is that the leaders would agree to hold a yearly debate in order for him to put his points across on the funding is going to ukraine. i'm going to go to problem with the you support the ukraine and victor opened himself for a number of reasons. firstly,

he doesn't believe that ukraine can win the war. secondly, he has close relations with the kremlin on a personal type to russian president vladimir putin. but he also has complained about the treatment of some 150000 estimate, con gary, and living and in trans trans call, pacey and region of ukraine, who he says that ukraine is not treating well. basically what he wants is a you the opportunity to raise those issues that he usually does gone to that he approve the 50000000000 your life and you crate. okay, so what about the, the point that we had at the end of that report that will best change of heart about the hon. gary and the prime minister is not likely to be permanent. it's hard to tell. i mean, he's consistently tried to push against the use support to use credit and, and consistently not by stime from these details. you remember at the end of december last year, he was holding as a veto against the accession tool. so the process formally openings the ukraine to

start to is negotiations to become an e. u member states. and he didn't actually approve that. well, he did his room kinds of the room and a lot of the of the 26th, a you leaders up to approve it unanimously without him. that was a bit of a fudge. but it appears that this is how he, you, little making it needs you. some is done. i think the whole band comes in with a veto. they find a way through it and they move forward. how sustainable that is. well, i mean, it's certainly not how the of the leaders want to be doing that business when they come to brussels. ok. meanwhile, it wasn't all about the victim old bad. what else should be looking at that? but this, this some, it was really about this. you claim funding and it is very important. we seen that ukrainian president of lot of is a landscape se, welcoming this money saying is crucial. that has to pay the bills for teachers and pensions and in order to try and rebuild infrastructure projects, etc. but also what the real context of this is that the

e u has not lead time to go into that to the americans. republican move it will make is in the united states and still blocking a similar fund for ukraine. the cache, the ukraine desperately needs to continue to, to run this economy. and zalinski himself pointed that this agreement is a signal across the atlantic he treated to the americans and the he's really going to, i think, try and run pop pressure in washington to try and get it's good to, to get money. i to of the united states as well as jack jack power in brussels. the letter i spoke to are right, keith bureau chief, nick connelly. he told me about the ukrainian reaction to the news of his deal well filled as being a kind of collective sigh of relief in tea of the reality is that the beginning of this war, you had lots of celtic smaller chances of finance. a 100000000. the 200 the next

week. so if one of those books of money, $1.00 of those transfers got stuck, it wasn't such a big deal right now. things have become a lot more structured and rugs and lots of smaller trends as you're getting these big promises. and when they get held up, as in the us right now, it is a big problem. fee grain, you sense of how significant this funding is for ukraine, those $50000000000.00 euros. more then ukraine's budget deficit for this coming year. this year 2024. obviously this is spread over 4 years, so it's not going to solve all the problems, but it is in its entirety already moved, and ukraine needs at for this year. so is very significant. it's about 2 thirds of what ukraine has received since will began from all kinds of donors. so that's about 75000000000 years that you guys received since being the most of this is very major and very welcome. it will go to the ministry. this money's ring fence for ukraine's domestic needs in terms of civilian supports in terms of paying wages,

pensions, keeping the power on, and that allows ukraine then stay cool. the tax revenues that it makes inside the country and send it to the ministry. we've just had the last 2 weeks, i figure from forward, he's here saying that to fight the school is costing ukraine upwards of a 113000000 euros every day. and that so taking account for huge, most of the, the economy is taken with millions of people having left the country a power of a structure and other bits of roads and instruction destroyed. so this is very, very important, but it doesn't result you kinds of problems. types of nick d. w as the w is that nick all the way in cave a while progress is being made inside the european union headquarters in brussels outside things came to a standstill, protesting farms block the streets with the tractors and 35 crackers, eggs and bottles of police. the angry about rising cost and red type, the farmers out in force in brussel. these located parts of the belgian capital demand more help with rising cost

associated use assume that you're trying to make people aware of the conditions for farmers to read on. so advice from people quick go hungry so far. so if i put some police assembled near the headquarters, were fires blazed as the farmers gathered. we are right in the middle of the european union. the ports are in process and these slaves that you see are just an expression of some of the anger on the streets. but of course, not only anger filling the square, but also tractors, traffic in the area growing to a home with more than a 1000 tractors, going nowhere, agricultural subsidies already make up a significant slice of the budget. and the book is trying to make good on climate promises, but these farmers insist they are getting a real deal with too much red tape. making us feel no more and to some of the, the 5th 100 us to we have people who work with the us with nature,

the people who manage this pacific desks. unfortunately, they probably know nothing about nature introduced. but at my best to accept that through my voice mail, in response to your reply to protests, the eu has moved to temporarily relax some green farming rules and limits cheaper imports from ukraine to the full not found this. those are old sites. we see you and we hear you. and if you voice, if you want your voice to be heard to make it had also in june. when you vote for the european parliament elections about this effort to cool tensions, hasn't yet cleared the air not to aspiring where all forces in the north face of the country have declared an emergency for the city of bos alone and the surrounding area as possibly castle as part of the catalonia region, stuff is a severe drive it around 6000000 people are facing tide was the restrictions of the 3 in dr. period shows no signs of ending and after being submerged for more than 60
