cracking the drum for a new nation thousands of palestinians pour into the streets of the west bank in support of a bid for statehood at the u.n. . on the hand of the palestinian party album i know with these cuban and any punishment on the street as people celebrate this is a story occasion join me in a few moments when you know. president obama sets up a standoff at the un general assembly with sovereignty seeking palestinians set the clock with a veto wielding u.s. despite overwhelming international support. and the eurozone teeters under its rapidly piling debt with greece trying to speed up cuts in the i.m.f. warning a new recession may be looming. a.p.m.
12:01 pm
in moscow i'm not good to have you with us here on r t our top story thousands of palestinians are marching across the west bank to support their leader's move to win recognition for their state at the u.n. there's an atmosphere of jubilation as government services and schools were closed to allow people out onto the streets and demonstrate party's policy or as following the events. it's being high so it's right across the west bank is this tomato that some twenty thousand people have taken to the streets of ramallah people took off work the schools closed earlier media businesses shut down on standing in all manaul which is really the focal point of the hi-lo and in this area the businesses the shops the restaurants have been opened so that people can really celebrate with almost icon of the atmosphere now but started to kick start three days of peaceful demonstrations of the palestinians and the stasi there busy holding in the run up
12:02 pm
to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas making their bid on friday for statehood at the united nations we've seen some of that such celebrations across the west bank in hebron there were an estimated seventeen thousand people turning out the parties in qana goals today and some of the scenes unfolding in bethlehem and in nablus they wanted to isolated incidents of violence that did change it will have these potential to modern day one in kalandia checkpoint not far from here it was also a little bit of violence in hebron both of those have been built under control and the people i've been talking to say that not only do they have a commitment to holding peaceful demonstrations but certainly they have a commitment to making sure that this historic moment on the world stage is seen and felt by everyone in the international community so the israeli army says he has been preparing for violence for what many say is that almost in this paper ration it's almost encouraging if one can say that the violence to stop and court settlement israeli army has been undergoing an operation called operation on the
12:03 pm
scene and this is all this shit that these peaceful demonstrations of the palestinians say they will fold to put iraq to understand into violence but their eyes not only on the palestinians the israeli army also has their eye on the roughly half a million israelis states's just yesterday there were a number of demonstrations by israelis it says across the west bank in the fifty's themselves adamant that they will not allow the palestinians to do what they say take over their land now we are hearing initial rumors that some kind of deal has been. struck behind the scenes we do not have confirmation that he did not have the details of the date but what we do understand is that the kind of thing in president mahmoud abbas might one fine day the bill of making his bid for statehood but instead of asking for the vote to happen at the same time he might delay this and tell potentially sometime next year if indeed this is the case it means that ameri can and is made the pressure on the palestinians has come to face which has certainly stand for
12:04 pm
a showdown over palestinian statehood is set to dominate the u.n. general assembly with a majority of the international community including russia ready to support the bid the u.s. promises to veto the move on most palestinians and israelis relaunch peace talks or he's married important iowa has more from new york. u.s. president barack obama did address the international body and specifically addressed the issue of palestinian statehood the u.s. leader said that peace will not come through statements or un resolutions and that the united nations should be encouraging palestine and israel to get back to the table this is basically a way that he would say that the united nations no resolution no vote upcoming vote on allison un membership will help the situation in any way the united states has said outright that it will veto palestinian membership the united nations a campaign that's been going on for quite a while the majority of the u.n. member states hundred ninety three of them
12:05 pm
a majority of them do support palestine on its u.n. membership and statehood and that includes russia russian's foreign minister sergei lavrov did address the press say that while it's preferred for palestine and israel to get back to the negotiation table first the united states should not use its veto to block the aspirations of the palestinians or any other country and as we know the u.s. said that it will do so powerless palestinian leaders are expected to officially submit their request for u.n. membership this friday more heads of state will be addressing the united nations on their vision to bring peace and security to the world but the issue of palestine is one that's going to continue to dominate all the discussions the u.s. president barack obama will be meeting one on one with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and shortly after he will be meeting one on one with palestinian president mahmoud abbas so he will be talking to both of them what many believe is that the u.s. is trying really hard to prevent the palestinian campaign for a u.n.
12:06 pm
membership or at least stall it so the u.s. would not be forced to cats veto. for some perspective on this let's go to palestinian journalist years on an eerie thank you very much for joining us here on r t know there are reports suggesting that president abbas has accepted a compromise and a vote could be postponed and the french president has proposed a peace agreement in one year are likely do you think this is. well of that i i won't believe it until i see it because last year the same thing happened when president obama promised and said that he would like to see a listing in state a member of the united nations in a year from now from then there was a tender this here that is supposed to be september this year but nothing has happened and we've seen obama backing down from what he said a year ago and i don't really believe it as until i see it wonderful let's let's not forget that it will take it quite a few weeks and perhaps even months until the palestinian request is taken to the
12:07 pm
security council because i bet there will be a lot of deliberations between the members of the security council mainly of course the permanent members in order to avoid an american people as far as far as i see as far as i see. and the way he thinks i think he's going to look ahead with his decision to submit the request unless there is a very crystal clear timetable for resumption of negotiations and not only resumption of negotiations because we have seen negotiations for the sake of negotiations but we want talks for the sake of of reaching results and we think results means to state solution along the one nine hundred sixty seven borders and this is what it is in the bus needs to hear from president obama and certainly from prime minister netanyahu who are going after they they have already met their while ago and i don't know what president obama will give present of us when they meet in about three hours or four hours from now when that reference to that meeting with president obama and prime minister netanyahu many prime minister benjamin netanyahu
12:08 pm
said a palestinian appeal is in short that will not succeed do you think he's been given further guarantees of u.s. support. well i think the real problem of the person at the scene is that the facing with israeli prime minister netanyahu is dates back to the first to the day when he was when he was when he appeared in the congress and then he delivered his historical speech and the nearly three or four minutes the members of the congress would just stand up and applaud what he said and that was a message from within you know to obama sure showing him that who is the leader of the boss in washington and it seems that the p.l.o. since then has been intoxicated with this kind of victory achieved in the congress and there's been this and it's been behaving in a very intense into a not listening to the palestinians not listening even to the american envoy who have leads who have come to the reason for so many times on dozens of always hundreds of hours of meeting them with palestinian israeli officers trying to
12:09 pm
bridge the gaps but netanyahu never meant any business and this is the problem this is one of the reasons why a bus has come to the united nations has been looking for his butler in israel but you know believed to be the no partner partner up with this woman and that is we will present a bus needs to go to the united nations because at the end of the day he wants to undermine the international legitimacy of the palestinian statehood and he wants to underline the international outside terms of reference for negotiations and he said very clearly in his speech on friday last friday when he said i'm going to the united nations and the day after i come back here i will resume talks with israel as i will be prepared i'm always i thought it was being prepared for legal citizens with israelis the problem is the lack of cooperation of the israeli so i went on with the settlement activities not only in the west bank but also in east jerusalem i'm sewing up every chance i was our enabler to hear how does he have and this is what we have one more question i'd like to get in before you run out of time we've heard president obama reiterated his support for talks between israelis and
12:10 pm
palestinians as opposed to a u.n. paid for statehood citing security concerns for israel do you think palestinian sovereignty poses a danger to israel. no i think what it is where it is in the best of is a strategic interest to have a palestinian state alongside the living side by side with israel based on the one hundred sixty seven borders i think this is the only way to get into israel security and peace otherwise this conflict is going to go on and on and on and nobody knows what will happen in the days after prison about disappears from the political arena he has been very cautious in terms of. calling on the palestinians to call it themselves only to nonviolent techniques of resistance the visit is what would happen afterwards if the camp of more than age of moderates among the better seen as a whole some of the arab would find out that this track of moderation visibly negotiations with israel is using nothing but that there be room for more
12:11 pm
hardliners the people that and that would be a very prize for all of us palestinians and israelis alike and i hope this is not going to be the case in a couple of months or years from now all right well yes i mean eerie palestinian journalist thanks for your perspective. the u.s. is israel's big supporter i feel when but it's backing for the arab spring friends to leave its main middle east ally in total isolation america got behind the most of the movement for democracy but a new regime in egypt has left israel picking up the pieces of broken relations artie's a nice in our house and. democracy has a price the people of egypt have spoken. their voices have been heard and egypt will never be the same and the new egypt embraced as a positive example of change in the arab world by the west is not the only one paying for what they did interest. and bring us. you know what he's doing
12:12 pm
good your time there was a bit of security but now there's this interview on the streets israel has also been left hanging a slow road to stability in neighboring egypt mixed with the massively unpopular israeli foreign policy makes a dangerous cocktail that pays for change towards those disputation was very slow so you had a lot of frustration on one side and then you had a lot of anger that. exacerbated after the killing of the five protection soldiers on egyptian territory by israeli gunfire. taking up the situation even further the recent attack on the israeli embassy in cairo protesters threw stones and stormed the building as military police stood by and watched for hours three demonstrators were killed and over a thousand injured. michel that's it this situation can get worse for israel not for us we're just starting to get stronger this is not a negative thing for us but a plus. for the protester who took down the israeli flag at the embassy in
12:13 pm
august was hailed as egypt's new super hero frog man a whirlwind built to protect the embassy but completely destroyed by protesters. this is what remains i doubt that ever was behind all repercussion emergency well is now being enforced to in egypt suffocating it's already asserted freedom and in the region he was the strongest ally is facing security threats as this new democracy is stuck in a spiral of uncertainty instability and sometimes chaos. benyamin netanyahu called the incident a near disaster being averted might have a lot more work to do to avoid catastrophe in the future israel should worry about look at what's happening in turkey and egypt two very important states in the area would choose to have not only peace but friendship with israel today will be at
12:14 pm
odds with that and it's number one friend seems to be having trouble keeping a balance when it comes to promoting arab democracy and protecting israel security it must occur to netanyahu and others at this point that certainly be americans are holding you know being a citizen have all your cards up their sleeves so so i think that's something that must weigh heavily on on israel at this point because when it comes down to it the u.s. tends to protect one thing in the end the basic problem here i think with americans and with the western civilization can in general the way they're handling things is that it's become too much about interests not not really about humanity or about anything else it's really become about interests and and when interest is the main driver of things become messy and egypt could become a mass that israel will have to live with and he's now a r t cairo. stay with us here on our t.v.
