russia's latest washington the advocation satellite brings the number of its blown us to units in orbit to twenty four the system is now at full strength covering the entire globe. sits down with the man who reignited palestinian aspirations for independence on the world stage president mahmoud abbas to discuss his views on the future of his bid for a free palestine that's coming. i say that i say in light of the recent events in the arab world that have come to be known as the arab spring as an arab league president have declared a palestinian spring the united states is against this move what is your position in regard to the currents tones of the u.s. . talking about the arab spring the palestinian spring the palestinian spring is happening even before it was declared our position was unambiguous the palestinians want the occupation to end they want to put an end to the divide these are their
2:32 pm
demands that they've always put forward we went to the un security council demanding palestine be recognized as a un member state we have had that right since one nine hundred forty seven since resolution one eight one was adopted forming two states israel and palestine sixty four years later we want the states to actually be formed the state of israel has been created but not the state of palestine today sixty four years later we want that state to be formed israel and the us a calling our actions unilateral but when we address the entire world community all one hundred ninety three states i don't think they will see them as unilateral or actions cannot be compared to the construction of settlements on the palestinian territory this is unilateral action whereas our beds to the u.n. is not furthermore we do not want to challenge the legitimacy of the state of
2:33 pm
israel israel is a valid state and we have recognized it if the arab peace initiative had been adopted fifty seven arab and islamic states would have followed suit and recognized israel that means that we support the existence of the state of israel and do not want to challenge its legitimacy or seek its isolation the only thing that we want to challenge the legitimacy of the policy of occupation. legitimacy of israeli settlement activities this is our rights and we demanded the u.s. and israel say our action is unilateral this is exactly why we have applied to the security council let's just wait and see as for the right of veto we knew in advance and we were officially notified that washington will use its veto during the voting in our bid it's clear that the u.s. as the dominant world power wants to extend its support to israel but what concerns us most is that the u.s. wants to force all the countries that took part in the general assembly big and small alike in particular the members of the u.n.
2:34 pm
security council to vote against palestinian membership in the un this is the key concern for us all the member states of the security council have the right to use or as i would put it misuse their right to veto but of course such a decision will be regrettable but we will comment on it only after it's taken not today. so that is that mr president some say the latest steps we have taken mark any era in the settlement process the u.s. monopoly and decision making in this region has been shattered and the palestinian issue is now open to broach international discussion how do you comment on that could be to threat undermine your plans and what the fear of that we took to the floor at the u.n. general assembly to declare that we are a state in fact an occupied state they say we must first hold negotiations but we don't see why the two things i mean the palestinian bid for un membership and the talks on
2:35 pm
a peaceful settlement cannot go on in parallel session to the un will mean the recognition of palestine is a country and a state of occupation that will make our position absolutely clear we are an occupied country that seeks to hold negotiations on all the issues including an end to the armed confrontation with israel i believe this is the right way to move forward of course provided that the other side has a genuine. designed to go the right way. so that the public. historic speech has resonated to melissa and society but hamas has expressed a different opinion how did you perceive their stance. and. i would not like to speak on the negative effects resulting from the position of a mass they say this was unilateral action taken without prior consultations with them but it's a totally different story you may have skipped the consultations but you have to come out with the right initiative before then any talk of unilateral action will
2:36 pm
play into israel's hands they're also voices within how mass both official and unofficial that have a different view and we're aware of them it's been a week since my speech it's a done deal so i would not want to discuss the negative consequences i want to point out that we need to come together and start the reconsideration process the decision on that has been taken and hopefully in the near future it will be reached then. you have been talking about all compassing negotiations with hamas what does the term all encompassing negotiations mean. everything we cannot forget about how mass whether it is in power or in the opposition like it is now if we manage to achieve national reconciliation and conduct the elections that is shed jewel for may but we're hoping they'll take place earlier and have mass remains in opposition to the current government then as it is done in all democratic states the government will have to discuss all significant decisions with the opposition and
2:37 pm
the two sides will coordinate their actions that was what i mean when i talk about old encompassing dialogue the future may turn out to be difficult and we might be forced to seek a deep mutual understanding to resolve the problems of our people together this is not my personal struggle and is not a struggle of a mass the mass and i both have to answer to our people that is why any plan we adopt or any actions we take should be clear and transparent to everyone before have to see where we are going where we will stop and what our are goals. what the length of the media as the allies or speech tend to emphasize you call for government reform is the main precondition of national reconciliation in what ways will the government do formed. i did not say i wanted to replace the government but there is a lack of understanding of the principles of governmental constitution that we had agreed upon we talked about
2:38 pm
a transitional government comprised of independent members and technocrats it is not a government of national unity the transitional government has to organize elections in the country and i'm responsible for that as head of the palestinian liberation organization at present we can discuss candidacies for transitional government membership i think any candidates nominated by fattah the people strand or any other movement is suitable as long as they fit the description of independent technocrat if they don't fit i cannot approve their candidacy so i need people that correspond with the transitional period namely independent technocrats socialists the transitional government will not have to solve any major political problems the p.l.o. manages negotiations and forming the government is one of the p.l.o. has responsibilities the government will represent the palestinian people in palestine or the p.l.o. will represent and be responsible for palestinians on the global arena if everyone
2:39 pm
understands that then the issue will not become a sticking point we will negotiate if it candidacy cannot be approved nominates another candidate that is all there is to it being stubborn in this matter would only bring harm i'm declaring this openly. so i. mr president you have said several times the channel is going to run for another term in office is it possible that public opinion might force him position to change after you have given yours toric speech. to taking part in presidential elections is not a matter of popularity. i have the people support today but that might change tomorrow and i've said before that i will not run for another term another politician whom we shall all support might come into the spotlight and he will gain popularity and the love of the people of that will be a result of his work and his achievement for my parts i will not change my position i've decided that i will not run for another time in office today tomorrow or in
