3:32 pm
a theatrical unveiling for a peace plan nearly three years in the making. donald trump presented his so called deal of the century as a win win opportunity for israelis and palestinians. today's agreement is a historic opportunity for the palestinians to finally achieve an independent state of their very own. after seventy years of little progress this could be the last opportunity. they will ever have. among the proposals included in the lengthy document provisions to allow israel to keep an annex all of its contentious west bank settlements and the creation of a semi autonomous palestinian state with no army or air force. trump also pledged fifty million dollars in international financing to build thee new p palestinian entity. the peace plan also attempts to settle the controversial issue of jerusalem's political status. jerusalem will remain the sovereign capital of the state of israel the sovereign capital
3:33 pm
of the state of palestine should be in the sectition of east jerusalem located in all areas east and north of the existing security barrier. besides trump as he delelivered his address a beaming benyamin netanyahu said he was satisfied with the plan. recognizing israel's sovereignty over all the jewish communities in judea and samaria large and small alike i have agreed to negotiate peace with the palestinians on the basis of your peace plan. palestinian president mahmoud abbas meanwhile immediately rejected the deal calling it a conspiracy but i'm- what if i say to trumpa netanyahu jerusalem is not for sale all rirights are not for sale and im not for bargaining. with the palestinian leadership widely expected to oppose the plan trump had hoped for the support of other arab governments and while the likes of egypt and jordan have called on both parties to consider the deal. others like turkey and iran have already criticized dates
3:34 pm
calling it a stillborn plan ends the treason of the century. my question of the other arab governments the u. a equal in the trump mideast p planned quote. an important starting point for talks. despite the fact trump netanyahu hailing this de las historic and a chance to durable peace there clear reasons why the palestinians would object to it the sticking points include the status of jerusalem the jordan valley the illegal israeli settlements in judea and- samaria today knows the west bank. because t the statuss of e golan heights here france twenty four amble maxwell with more. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has already champion trump's peace plan a good deal of the century. palestiniann prime minister ma how much día on the othther hand has rejecteted it as a plan to finish off the palestinian close. the us president's initiative follows a long history of failed peace efforts. several key issues of scuppered previous bids not
3:35 pm
least the question of borders on territory. israel stepped up its build of illegal settlements in the west bank last year and it's now he has vowed to annexx large parts of the territory that the palestinians seek as the heartland of a future independent state. palestinians also see the photo jordan valley as a vital part of a future state as the bread basket of the west bank. israel wants to maintain a long term military presence in the corridor of land adjacent to the children border. which it says is essential for its security. palestinians are also seeking e east jerusalem a athe capital israel claims the city as its own i'm rejects any division. it's a claim that was bolstered by trump in twenty seventeen when h he recognized s israel's's capalal. i lost main sticking point is the p plight f the descscendants o of millionsf palestinian refugees who fled when israel the cat state in nineteen forty eight. israel refuses to countenance the return saying it influx would
3:36 pm
endanger the state's jewish identity. now this spring in not i see sau gosh eléctrica if international relations and politics at the university of essex joining us out live from colchester thank you very much for being with us i'm i'm tempted to stop by looking at the state both trump and netanyahu to leaders. in their own countries under investigation up does this seem like kind of showboating away distracting for what's going on in the other side. o of their lives righght now. well over the good evening a and thank you vey much for having me- i think you nailed it right right on that. and if one was to listen to the speech immediately they will understand that this speech was not really about a peace deal. it was more of a campaign speech. it more liberation she- i'm old. asian okay. to other's
3:37 pm
causes. and absolutely the domestic politics of both states within the united states. and real. now and try por under the patient now wait a certain right they are trying to really singing from the same hymn sheet here. and try to manipulate the politics to perhaps a rally around something that both establishments in different- in both countries. i agreree upon which is this strip up an american and israeli relations so i it is not really a peace deal it was a campaign speech largo no no it's okay i'm i'm sorry for cutting across it'd mean to do that i'm sorry so trump of is the sort of. the each well continue to netanyahu's bribery case. stone to march the staff but to they operate ahead and his immunity has been. wait so that is going to go to court. i'm let's get back to what happened today that the white house no palestinian presence. about the word- ambassadors from oman uae
3:38 pm
and birane at the white house. what do you make of that. it's very interesting in that way i was very surprised actually see them. because they these contingencies this is veryy much- indicating. this slow rupte roach meantnt between. guf countries. and israel. and it's eight we have to hear bee very new ones. just because the ambassadors of those countries were thehere does not mean n thy actually supupport thehe deal. t it does show is that. the hap deport. the so called peace effortrt. and if yoyou look at e you with ththese- rex goals are now. they their is were very in very careful the language they wewere saying was that it was a it wasas a step towowards the rt direction- but also there's something else that needsds to e
3:39 pm
mentioned here as well. is that. although the united arab emirates is playing a bigger role in international relations in the middle east- but oman and bahrain. are known. so it wn the s same if egypt would have been there or if saudi arabia wowould havave been t there bece that really signifies. a s strog ararab a holistic era brücke pro german which i don't t think is happenining. there i is an elemt of p plausible deniability here of trying to shshow that you support the deal and g game trup to their side while at the samae timeme n not d demonizing thehes too much by disistant de distancingng themselves from palestinian calls. so there isn't a balancing act that they're trying to achieve. it is very much a double game in many ways but clearly jeweled not happy about what will
3:40 pm
happen in the jordan valley with this plan i imagine the status of the golan heights something that my concern- countries who lay claim to that the evidence syria. and can i just bring to you the statement by mohammed shuts the of the- prime minister of the palace and with palestine authority this is a plan to finish the palestine because he says. i'm just that you see that is possibly the in behind this. without shadow of a doubt this is not a peace deal. and rarely in my very blunt on interviews. if i'm honest with you but it's very difficult to see any kind of new ones here- with this. this is. a maneuver. to try to distance. any kind of real palestinian. aspirations for statehood. this if we look at the demands none of the demands that palestine asked for nor even arab states ask for like as you mentioned the golan heights in the jordan valley
3:41 pm
were met. it was a legitimizes tion of the elect the legality of it israel's annexation of land and settlements. and this is why i go back to saying this was a settlement this is a campaign speech rather than a peace deal so it is very much distancing any aspiration that policy. a volublele and tangigie palestinian state will have moreover this is also didictating. and reinforcing the narrative that the palestinians are not the ones that are trying to seek peace. it may be we will if we go back this page the speech was all about how- israel is the one that's a alwas trying to seeks peace while policy into their turn. if they had the courage to reach peace and to have the courage to sit on the table with us and if you look at whatat netanyayahu saidd you know said well now we can negotiate. on we could check this deal as a as a platform of
3:42 pm
negotiation. and in the end and no one would accept this because this is not serious this is an actct i legitimized asasian of the illegegalities. t israel has committed and therefore. it is very onn. to assume that this is. a conspiracy or a an attemem. to kill the dreams or at least. to be more a pragmatic here to distance the likelihood. of a palestinian state which- are an establishment of a palestinian state very much will lead to broader arab. israeli relations. because much of the arab israeli relations. or arab states der reproach men with israel will depend on a palestinian state. so this is the alienating. out of a serious in st reproach its between arabs in israel. as a suggestion of a the university of essex lecture in internationall relations and politics thank you so very much indeed at the time and for that
3:43 pm
analysis i would continue of course to reflect on the a trump p peace plan for the midde east announced a few hours ago. moving get more reaction coast including from our washington correspondenent coming up very shortly for now we move on benjamin netanyahu we stay with him he's been formally charged with bribery fraud and breach of trust came up he thought quest. for immunity from prosecution the israeli prime minister has had the threat of legal case hanging over him since november the charges willing to gifts and preferat media coverage. apparently it's for rick refine. benefits his trial. could open before march the second and that's is that the date set for another election in history. they're the first criminal charges ever brought against a sitting israeli prime minister. benjamin netanyahu faces three separate cases of fraud breach of trust and bribery which are now set to go to trial. the charges don't technically bar
3:44 pm
netanyahu from office but critics like benny gantz leader of the opposition blue and white coalition se them kim unfit to serve as prime minister. nobody could run and some will change easily manage three serious criminal charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust. netanyahu w was formally charged o on tuesday when attorney general abaci mandel fleet filed indndictments in all three corruption cases. the first known as case one thousand accuses netanyahu of fraud and breach of trust for allegedly accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of champagne cigars and other luxury goods from two billionaires. all this in exchange for tax papers in the second and third cases number two thousand and four thousand netanyahu is again charged withth. breach of trustt over hs relationship with two mededia moguguls in both cases netanyahu
