exists behind his political. way and i thought i could not. minister with this kind of statement is a statement supported by the majority of israelis i think we israelis yes we. we grew up on. you that. we need to be on alert. to any more most israelis live a life that is quite bad and you can cut it out of the environment he planted in the u.s. or in europe western europe and you will find the israelis quite. easily integrating into society into requirements in place and so on so it's not. the regimented society of my childhood. all the time it's at any given point in time but it is true that israelis are not naive and they believe

that we can survive here in the middle east. only if we ready to fight when you are resigned to the same time message to all the staff of the foreign ministry explaining the resignation what was the reaction and what is the general mood like among israeli public servants concerning the policies that will have to the friend i have no illusions some of us were frustrated by my letter. because. it is outside of the code of conduct that you just drop out because you don't like the message the messenger has no view over the message that is the code of conduct and it's quite legitimate to think in that way how many messengers agree with the message and how many don't in the foreign ministry in my view. majority don't care. they are

professionals and whatever message comes for them to believe that they will do. is. a solid minority ministry that is politically motivated to promote. israel. in its. rather. hawkish. position it's just government it is is pursuing. i think we do also have the lefties left overs from the past. but i think they are a minority your last overseas posting was as ambassador to south africa what's your experience in south africa she seems as far as the christian nation is all is concerned. i think that israel is. in a danger zone to slide. by default. in too.

many frustrations of apartheid if we don't take it. and i'm afraid we don't take it and there's going to contain in the united states as far as israeli policy on iran and palestine goes how deep is the rest between the united states and israel or is it merely a lovers' quarrel i'm surprised to realize how deep the americans care for israel is when it comes to the conversation the political conversation in the us. i also can see how. the aftermath of the war in iraq and enough to understand. and the american fatigue of the middle east. could work badly for the image is present in the u.s. and to put it. good discourse in the u.s.

. in the context of american interests god forbid that the us will be more reluctant. to reach out for israel because our predicament now is a good result of a policy pursued by this current government in a way that i think is tragically wrong. that we lean to the american congress a single source of strength in our diplomatic fabric and that is. very dangerous what's going on for much of playing is all has become increasingly isolated on the international stage of what should the country's first steps to bring it out of the isolation in my view this government. very explicitly. made a statement to the fake that. step.

intentionally. of the paradigm of land for peace and occupation is the key to. a settlement in the middle east. and into a new paradigm. that stipulates the ownership of israel exclusively ownership. over the entirety of the land of israel which comprises in the eyes of palestinians palestine paradigm is a dead end i think it is immoral morally and practically it's not sustainable and that is the reason why i left government i thought i could not say that kind of off message thank you mean the united nations change has caught on it's also end of occupation of palestine morning that is worthy of the ten other israeli palestinian conflict. but if the israeli government is willing to let israel does on the west

bank and the gaza strip whatever it likes. and. things are changing fast on the ground in favor of entrenching israeli presence in palestinian areas i don't think really jerusalem pays much attention too much attention to what the secretary general of the u.n. is saying who can is all the lion in the region considering that in the aftermath of the arab spring the middle east has become more radicalized i don't think israel is looking for allies i think israel is looking for. partners. of convenience. one is jordan. who survivability in the way in the form we know it is a house in my kingdom. so we entertain. a

lot of common interests egypt is consumed by its own revolution and as long as it doesn't pose a threat to us i think israel is taking a very careful distance and turkey. it cut a straw figure foreign policy towards one of the emerging powers being limited to renewed that's why syria goes what is the best outcome for israel and why did the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants everything change in syria if that would mean i could mean another islamic state on the border i don't think israel came there. have an impact on the outcome of any regime change that is underway anyway. so to ignore the fact that there is a regime change in the making in syria would be.

acceptable but it's the same time we need to be very careful not to expedite it is there any way that it will cut the cord and i would break the military invasion of crimea qatar headquarters for what was such an invasion mean for israel and for the region i can hardly see the arab world rigid minting around one force that is prepared to walk into syria physically and intervene then i don't see it happening how much of a prayer is around to regional security it is very obvious that iran is pursuing its position as a regional power. to serve interests that go beyond immediate borders of iran it is tried merely defensive primarily it responds to the desire of iran to protect itself let is one level the other is said the domestic political discourse in israel is the right wing always.

profited from a nervous public move on you defense issues and i think a lot about what is a lot of what is said about your runs actually serves political aims and i'm very angry about that i think it should be stopped it one day thank you ma'am can we need to talk about i do think that should israel attacking iran i don't know but common sense say that israel is critically critically dependent on international legitimacy. respond the response of strike on iran will be illegitimate a preemptive strike will not and i think is where the voided any cause a preemptive a preemptive strike on iraq and that's what

a lot of iraq thank you very much for joining us here on our.

good morning welcome to the sport and these are the headlines fighting conviction cyclists alberto contador considers appealing against his two year ban after calling it a terrible injustice last race against time russian olympic medal hope the martyred him sharply faces a frantic legal battle in her bid to compete at the london days. and the party goes on super bowl champions the new york giants wrap up more glory during a spectacular victory parade in manhattan. first disgraced cyclist alberto contador says he hasn't ruled out appealing against his team banned for failing a drugs test the spaniard was stripped of his twenty ten tour de france title after testing positive for the performance enhancing drug clenbuterol he held a news conference at his home town of pinto just outside madrid and said he had no intention of quitting cycling and also ality completely disagreed with the court about the sport which rejected his claims the muscle building steroid was in his

system as a result of the team contaminated meat. or masking. though i try hard i cannot understand that bernie imposed during the past months i've been trying to do my best to prove my innocence even. five hours answering questions like you can plead criminal i also want to and everybody knows i will continue cycling i will continue practicing in a clean way and i've done it all my entire life though i don't feel my best i think in the future at least will make me tougher. despite the positive test and banned his cycling team saxo bank are standing by him contador is able to compete again in august after his two year ban was backdated although that still means he'll miss this year's year italia tour of france and the lympics. as a team to support a battle. because we want to do good things that is correct that's why we have

supported him in this case all the way until now and we still do when we look at the ruling today we see no reason not to support him to do a long time but of course. we have to sit down together. and talk about the future as. i wish that he wants to continue we could see i can only say that my intention will be to same however contador has little sympathy from the world anti-doping agency its president jiang far has branded contador a cheat and says the court ruling with the clip was a clear message that sent a warning to cyclists. the simple fact is that anyone who has a preview of the substance in this system. is h. it. it's as simple as that the argument then comes as to what was the method what

was the nature of how that prohibited substance got into the system. cheat a fake to play the moment you got that substance in there and that analysis is disclosed and tested as it was for a comprehensive way by. another major legal battle is naming this time to help medal hopeful than arthur being shot a represent russia at this summer's london olympics the pentathlete was born in the way nia but is attained a russian passport although her native country has now banned her from competing michael clutch of as the story. just a week off to turn in twenty four and with multiple world cup wins under her belt do not are you shy to should be a shoo in for the fast approaching london games or so you would think because for these modern pentathlon to second the increase are now a huge doubt in beijing in two thousand and eight she competed for leaf janja but has since married a russian and was granted

a russian passport and though do not has been cleared to fly the russian flag at other major events she needed the formality of permission from the leaf in an olympic committee to go to london but her request was denied. but i think the sports officials and some patriots are against me but a lot of ordinary people still support me he could say we feel a new split in two over this a lot of people have been leaving the country to earn money elsewhere and some may think they've come to russia to rolling cash which is not the case donato went on to say she was on the verge of tears and her mother cried twice at last month's meeting in leaf yeah near the sports summit has threatened her entire career and she described it as a circus while the reporter at the time culture a traitor she knows the chances are slim that she'll be given the go ahead to compete in london but she's focusing on other tournament's and if lead should first of all think of quality training and preparing for events if i don't make the

olympics after all i'll have other important events to get ready for the european and world championships and all small matters. so potentially a massive blow for russia who counted on the room shouted to deliver in the british capital they plan to appeal at both the court of arbitration for sport and the international olympic committee but no one is under any illusions have a medal hopes to remain. the knot that is our leader and will compete in other events this year but her mission won't undermine the russian squad because measures have been taken to regroup it's not a happy situation but we still hope for podium places in london. is already setting her sights on the real games in twenty sixteen well russia also have a strong message contingent including athens and beijing champion and dreamy safe to cheer on in london. r t now let's switch to football where i think bilbao
