on the supreme court of justice of israel decisions for decades for forty five years old was it that that international law applies in the west there in all the good close range and recommendations are based on this fact in my report. but the levy. committee decided that the international law doesn't apply in the west bank and all their recommendations. based on the. to my opinion you current. in this are pretty important would you agree that the west bank today in somalia is not israeli soil and if so what legal grounds does israel have for legislating laws regarding land that is not under its jurisdiction while tomorrow opinion into the opinion that was

written by the supreme court of justice or for israel for ever and ever is that israel has no surrender in the west bank the occupation is a temporary one until a peace agreement will be achieved between. the two people the palestinian people they haven't paid the israelis and the authority or asked me after these reduce to lead distinct laws in the west bank are coming from the international law from the nations and their fourth geneva convention that they give their authority to the q four manner of the idea who. occupied the area to legislate laws to protect the palestinians and the security of the area the ministry of housing allocates millions to these outposts each year they

are by giving them a lifeline as long as the government's policy of funding these outposts exists how can the matter be resolved well i may some difference in my record between settlement outpost because. to the opinion of the government of israel the settlements enterprise is the. i'm not sure that the international community or international law thinks the same on this topic but there's no question that. there's no question the cording to my report and to this supreme court of justice decisions that the outposts which are a beginning of settlements in the west bank are legal according to their internal law that applies here also to the. government of israel up in the united states in response to the level report said that it opposed

settlement building now washington has made similar statements in the past but what action has the united states taken in order to force israel to stop breaking international law when i was commissioned to do this to do this to poor i think it was on behalf of the prime minister of israel to show the americans the years trying to for all the law and he is trying to implement the law in the area. where we're talking about the beneath and yell the american in the round the to freeze the settlements for ten months. as much as i know this is what the americans did maybe they could do more maybe they could i don't know isn't netanyahu is continued support of the settlements and outposts

a threat to the definition of israel as a democracy definitely yes i believe their interest after the staple foods rio is to remove large parts of the west bank and bring about one hundred twenty thousand turtles better to the state of israel. all the settlements that are east into the barrier maybe some more to give peace agreement with the palestinians by making swap based on sixty seven borders we have corrections off the border. i believe that this is a highly interest of the state of israel because the continuation of the a completion in the west bank in danger of the staple food fail if the root of the jewish people and a democratic state is whole is in grave breach of international law especially on the issue of our posts in your opinion why has the united nations not yet

sanctioned israel i can't give you an answer for your question i don't know. what going to happen by the united nations but to. believe that this issue needs to be solved by an agreement between the two people i don't i don't believe that sanctions will or will solve the problem. thurso need for the state of israel prime minister for israel government of israel and the palestinians to get to the table and start discussing without any. terms and preconditions the act by water solomon the israeli protester who set himself on fire and later died from his wounds during the recent social protests is an act that until now has largely been associated with

non-democratic countries is not an indicator that the social protest in israel are more than just social this is an interesting question i believe in these really them ocracy after all i think we are still a democracy. and we have to defend our democracy democracy is not something you know that is written in a paper and that if you have all voice to fight for the. specific to the case of this very sad issue that you asked me about i don't believe that he chose death to israel or the social protest are being. quite extinct i don't think so. the demonstrations last you. are going to be partly. less than a million but many people there are going for any violence and you have to look and

you could see a balance of d.v.d. and there are many democratic states in the world so i don't think that this issue could teach you that israel is non-democratic state and one of the issues of the social protests is public housing couldn't the money that is being used to fund illegal settlements hope resolve the situation of course. i agree with you one hundred percent. israel should. waste its money in the west bank anyhow even me for every person every soul in the israel had a house without any. real connection to the seashore but of course when we have such a big problem for housing. for poor people then we could make use of this money to make you feel better for life. insidious or

what impact will israel's uncertain economic problems have on financing the outposts i really don't know but what i'm seeing is that we're talking about problems economic problems in israel severe economic problems in israel but when the government is talking about the west bank program they cannot have problems vanished because if they want to remove thirty people in the open now. which is some land somewhere else because the supreme court of justice or freezer ordered it then the government has a lot of money to bring them there or to build new houses or to build a new. settlement instead of me grown tell your son thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. you must have come.
