down in the greek parliament the pm faces a no confidence vote on whether to pass sovereigns new austerity cuts in return for a new cash lifeline or become the first euro zone nation to default on its debt. next we'll look at the state of the stalled israeli palestinian peace process in our special interview. with me i have professor governor of the former israeli ambassador to the united nations professor thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. thank you for you 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 this i did not say the united states is not going to veto but this is the united states has their own considerations in the we should not act as if the veto is in our pocket but you can

it is not we must do our best to avoid the was a motion to come near the the security council nor to the. general assembly in i think we should not trust the united states to repeal 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 there is an election that he wants to win you know every problem. is the interest in continuing is the way but i i think obama really wants the peace in the world and especially in this region which affects the way in the middle east in the war the old world in a way so i believe that the obama's first of a concern with the wind being unwilling of his own people but he's also interested in continuing the missions in the vision and the it took upon him so when he took

over 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 obama backtracking on what he what he said and essentially becoming a puppet of netanyahu you could see the there was not a lot of chemistry in this. me thing but i 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 and i think so with all 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 the relationship it's not only on the what they call political level it's also cultural ideological. they know that we are the only or the most important democracy in the middle east do you not think

a bomber has lost credibility in the arab world 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 with the collapse of the palestinians put a lot of hope. in the obama administration to be the honest broker. i think they still see this way just this morning we were announced then. the obama administration made it very clear that they are going to recall in the security council. of course the become a full members of the unit in the nation so you know the trust that the obama is adamant in trying to achieve peace in the region in. trying to. is an honest broker is there the possibility that the united states could veto the establishment of a palestinian state and still the general assembly would recognize as the likud

mission of the palestinian state was already in nineteen eighty eight by yourself and i think opened so this can happen again and again will not gain anything to the palestinians what can. be achieved is the continuation of the illegitimate zation of the state of israel and this is something that i think can be. void it only through my little talks do you have faith that netanyahu is serious about peace i hear first from him because for the last two years when i serve my country is the israeli bus a bill to the nuclear nations a saw i watch very clearly not only what is said in the by the land if the speech which was two states for two countries but also the way that they acted in freezing for ten months the building in the settlements which no current no government bid ever before why didn't we hear so much about settlement building

taking place despite the construction freeze cooper was not the continuation of the building in those ten months but in those ten months what happened was the palestinians the book move in spite of the fact the the free there was a freeze which never 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 year in there not peace talks took place and they also think the americans also did their part in making the palestinian sit on their hands abu mazin said it in so many words he said the obama put us on a tree he went down from the settlements you know the only resistance only stopping or freezing the building and i was left on the train he says with a bomb wasn't in himself said so in a way the phrase did not. for the last two years we've been moved since gus

liberation we did not have any peace talks do you think of the two lead them in the country's foreign minister is good for israel he was appointed by. a government that was elected him in the macor i think the election i know that many people think the he's not the right person to represent. israel in the world it what takes place now 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 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 obama's. in presenting they've in

a bus of the course of them lies the way they treat acts at the united nations the way that she rejects the way that she embraces the way that she and gage and they really want to be an honest broker in the middle east and not to be perceived as they were for so many years is being one sided in supporting only is when i think this is his idea in a new way this is what former minnesota said this is when he made it very very clear that this would be the basis for the coming peace what is will be secure within three nine hundred sixty seven borders i think this is for our leader in the defense minister to decide i think we will get the government is that when even the israeli army is very powerful and can put it 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. looking objectively i don't think it's us to blame and compare palestinians. israel and they have a strategy of the legitimizing the state of israel. they favor in the walls they failed in the economy boy called cultural boy called big. failed in trying. to tell the root 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 the. thing is that our foreign power over in the west bank specially 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 in the hope and they know that only

the peace talks once they will be started really going back to the right track in the keep this stop this kind of penetration of the day should the palestinians unilaterally declare a palestinian state law school israel's reaction i don't know if you know some people here say the. we can also take unilateral steps. like the disengagement i know all kinds of unilateral on our side or on the palestinian. 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 interesting they will understand that this kind of unilateral declaration will bring them no will this is not the way to achieve with everybody wants which is this likely 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 we're going to see in september and we were very impressive in person. and i sure fell out of me. here's some more thinking to put a sting in the a promise of politicians and they say that he's afraid of the conflict there will if there be the one in atlanta collaboration or if nothing will happen as principal in with the youngsters who are protesting and still school looks and look around and see what happens in the region they may rise and they will be in the further so this is something that i think also to be taken into account and they should be prevented do you think there's a possibility of an israeli lebanon war when i hope that the army in there would be friends or no intelligence people we know how to avoid it because war is something

that nobody on each side of the border really wants it will we begin anything out of it professor thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. . the economy.
