comes just a day off to a balance of it it is getting civilians while blaming a weapons malfunction. and the prime minister of greece is facing a crucial confidence vote in his recently shuffled government the outcome could determine whether he'll be able to push through a new austerity package secure another much needed jackson cash from the e.u. . next we look at the state of the storm israeli palestinian peace process in a specialty. with me i have professor gabriela shalev the former israeli ambassador to the united nations a visit thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. thank you for you were recently quoted as saying that the united states will not veto the u.n. recognition of a palestinian state come september why are you so sure of the us i do not think that the united states is not going to recall what they said is the united states

has their own considerations in we should not act as if the vehicle is in our pocket which it is it is not we must do our best to avoid the resolution to come. in the security council nor to the. general assembly in i think we should not trust the united states but we should trust ourselves if obama was not to veto the declaration of a palestinian state would he not face political pressure at home i mean after all it is an election that he wants to win you know every problem. is the interest in continuing israel. i think obama really wants the peace in the world and especially in this region which affects the way in the middle east and the role of the modern world in a way so i believe that the obama's first of from concern with the wind being

unwilling of his own people but he's also all interested in continuing the mission in the vision and the it took a quantum so when it took off what is your reading of the relationship between obama and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu there were many who stayed there netanyahu is a recent visit there so again they're backtracking on what he what he said and essentially becoming a puppet of netanyahu you could see the there was not a lot of fear. chemistry in this thing but they think not too much would be to this kind of music would you say that the relationship between the united states and israel is colder than it's ever been before i don't think so without the united states we would be in a much more difficult position not only because of the veto but because of the support that we get from them. i think they the relationship it's not only on the political level it's also cultural and they were logical. they know that we are so

far the only or the most important democracy in the middle east do you not think a government has lost credibility in the arab world that there was so much hope when he came to power and he certainly seems to have remained a very close friend of israel as you say i think. over the palestinians took a lot of hole. in the obama administration to be honest broker. i think they still see this way just this morning we were announced that this i believe the obama administration made it very clear that they are going to veto in the security council. of course to become a full members of the unit the nation so where you know the trust. is adamant in trying to achieve peace in the region in the they know that he's trying to perceive himself as an honest broker is there

a possibility that the united states could veto the establishment of a palestinian state and still the general assembly would recognize as the recognition of the palestinian state was already announced a nineteen eighty eight by yourself and nothing happened so this can happen again and again we're not going anything to the palestinians a what can. the continuation of the village imitation of the state of israel and this is. something that i think can be avoided only through a little. do you have faith that netanyahu is serious or at least i have faith in him because for the last two years when i served my country as the israeli ambassador to the united nations a saw i watch very clearly not only what is said in the by the land. for the spring which was two states for two countries but also the way that they acted in freezing fourteen months the building in the settlements which not and no

government did ever before why didn't we hear so much about settlement building taking place despite the construction freeze there was not a continuation of the building in those ten months but in those ten months what happened was that the palestinians they don't move in spite of the fact the the free there was a freeze and shiver happened before there were no buildings except maybe some place for expansion and still nothing happened is so it's not us to blame it's the palestinians who did not move for those. whole meal and they're not peace talks took place and i also think the americans also did their part in making the prince thing and sit on the events abu mazin said in so many words he said the obama put us on a tree he went down from the settlements you know the only resistance resisting only stopping all freezing the building and i was left on the tree this is what i

wasn't and said so with the freestate not him in the fall the last two years we've been moved since because liberation we did not have any peace talks do you think after two lieberman the country's foreign minister is good for israel he was appointed by. a government that was elected him in the macwrite a clear image. i know that many people think the thing he's not the right. person toward israel in the world it what takes place now but this is a decision that was taken by the leadership by an attorney i was the prime minister i'm not going to comment on it the u.s. president barack obama has publicly committed the united states to peace based on the nine hundred sixty seven borders what is the benefit to him are saying this in public you know that the obama administration unlike former administration is very much engaged with the world with the muslim world which is the africa and say i

could see the way the. representative in the us or the susan rice the way the cheap acts at the united nations the way the chain which acts the way that she embraces the way that she engaged in they really believe want to be an honest broker in the middle east and not to people saved as they were for so many years is being one sided in supporting only is when i think this is his idea and when this is what former minnesota szell said this when he made it very very clear that this would be the basis for the coming to peace what is will be secure within pre nine hundred sixty seven borders i think this is for our leaders in the defense minister told police i don't think we will get the government case that we need and the israeli army is very powerful and can put. in

any borders you have said that israel's international status is at an all time low do you think that this is because of its settlement building to send the looking objectively i don't think it's us to blame i think the palestinians. israel they have a very threat a-g. of the legitimizing the state of israel. they favor in the was a failure in the economy quote unquote. country boy called the famed trying. in the terms in the streets and the buses all over israel now they have a diplomatic complaint against israel and i think they succeeded in showing israel is. a powerful power over in the west bank and especially in gaza and the people and the suffering of the people there which i do not want to belittle but still this is part of the strategy in the

i think this is why we are being the legitimized. and i hope and they know that only the peace talks once they will be started we're going back to the right track in the keep this in the stop this kind of tenet of the state should the palestinians unilaterally declare a palestinian state which will israel's reaction i don't know you know some people here say the. we can also take unilateral steps. like this engagement i know all kinds of unilateral steps on our side or on the palestinians. going to home and to be an obstacle to peace in the region in the i don't know how we will react but i still hope the conference they will understand that this kind of unilateral declaration will bring them no work this is

not the way to achieve what everybody wants which is priests who at least some kind of security in this. suffering. clashes that we saw recently along the northern israeli border do you think that this could be a precursor to what was going to see in september and really really receive. me whole. here's someone who can approach. pro months and politicians and they say that he's afraid of the concept and will and they'll be the one in the top of the clear ration always nothing would happen i was concerned that there will be young students who are protesting and still strokes look around and see what happens in the region they may rise and there will be. so this is something that i think most informed taken into account and they should be prevented do you think there's a possibility of unease radiated from the war when i hope that the war only when

there will be france and the intelligence people will know how to avoid the post war and something north. of the border we don't want. you getting anything out of it professor thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. . today
