at this point then he then said let's wait and see if four things can move forward do you agree has to us let peace process stopped in this track for now. we don't think that the statement was a fair one we think that the palestinian and the palestinian side has all is proved beyond any doubt its willingness to to not only to negotiate but to actually reach an agreement something that the israelis have never done and in terms of the talks and of deeds as well let's remember that there's a government went on on a campaign of settler colonialism causing all kinds of problems which which actually negate any possibilities for reaching a peace agreement so again the statement is not is not and we think it's the israeli side to take the blame but also i mean can you discard it has made it mediation completely not just israel but many arab states in the region would do

what the u.s. tells them. this isn't we we don't we don't pick and choose who should be in the international making is after all it's their responsibility is over those parties themselves to decide and to coordinate and to come to come together. within a framework of such such mechanism we. war against the united states of america we said that what the americans themselves have said done to have done this qualify them from playing the role of the co-sponsor of the peace process and that's why we need the international community needs different different mechanism but it's their business it's something that. comes together the u.s. plans to cut financial aid to palestine in hall for advisor said that it's less

wouldn't do any serious harm to the palestinian economy but i mean how can that not be a big deal for palestine if the u.n. is repeatedly warning that gaza is on the verge of total collapse of water medical supplies running out color outbreak looming. to start with the u.s. assistance is limited and of school and in terms of goals is to be to be achieved through this this assessment and such maybe some of my colleagues suggested putting or reducing that it would not cause huge damage or or harm to the palestinian people nevertheless let me let me tell you that any assistance to the palestinian people any part of the palestinian people is something that is important and that's valuable in that that we need to but the less noise can come at the expense of the independence of the palestinian

decision and no assistance. actually influence our direction and the decision making process on the palestinian side now with no full independence in sight palestinian officials are thinking about dissolving the autonomy as government which was supposed to be the temporary anyway and handing all the work and burden of governing palestine back to israel directly this sounds pretty much like capitalisation to me does it make the decades long palestinian struggle for statehood nolen voigt. actually i don't have the same the same thinking i believe that the establishment of the president of forty was an achievement for the palestinian people we need to keep and we need to struggle for going for the not not back backpedaling go going forward means to achieve the national independence of the state of palestine on might the success of seven borders and with his use of

them as its capital so maybe we have some disagreements here on among ourselves as palestinians but again i think that the palestinian authority should continue we should not give up our responsibilities towards our people but with this being discussed with the current officials will any does aleutian of the p.a. mean the end of fatah and the p.l.o. as well because i mean how can there be a government representing the palestinians which doesn't actually govern anybody. no and added to the palestinian authority would not mean an end to for the whole of the p.l.o. fatah is an independent political party and the p.l.o. his an umbrella organization national amber logan is asian that that is that composes of many political organization the person of the four it is something else that came as a result of political agreements between the palestinian and israeli sides and as a result of direct election by the palestinian people and again in spite of all

its shortcomings and there are shortcomings nevertheless i personally believe that we should keep the authority and we should push hard in a very serious way to move forward specially with regard to the achievement of our national independence and our state so how is strong's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital going to change state israeli palestinian dispute. well first of all let me let me reiterate once more that that that. a violation. of international law of a relation of security council resolutions two to which the united states itself was a party it was a departure from and established to his policy it was also a violation of international agreements again to which the united states was it was

a party it was allied it assault on the palestinian people on on the rights of the palestinian people to jerusalem as its capital and also i think it was a huge challenge to muslims to to christians around the war those who believe that this city is holy one to all of them and not only to a particular religion or to particular side. now this is only one country's voice their rest of the world isn't moving their embassies to jerusalem so why such a strong negative reaction to that from the palestinians. no listen i agree with you that it's only one country and they agree with you with that in reality that proclamation did not actually create any any any new facts on the ground nevertheless it is also an important country and our position relates to

that country it's not related to the the whole international community we believe that the action meant certain things and that is why we believe that the united states itself has disqualified itself from playing any significant role in the future so why do why do you think they did it if that is the consequence is that the decision well that's a good question but it's not for me to to answer frankly it's for the administration itself people speak of the law to speculate about certain things including the influence of certain political pressure group in the united states or they speak of other reasons as well but in all cases there is no doubt that the decision did not come at the interest of the united states in a broad or to serve the interest of the peoples of the middle east definitely not

to the cause of peace and that them to reach agreement between the two sides does it mean that united states isn't really interested in peace outcome. no not necessarily so it could be interested nevertheless it could be influenced by certain extraneous elements or texts that amy is consideration again it's not it's not really for me to speculate and on this on this front the clear thing for me is is that the united states made big disservice to the people of the middle east disqualify itself from playing the role of the mediator between the two sides and the sponsor of the middle east peace process and now the israeli settlements in the palestinian west bank are growing in number and they're spread all over the territory what happens to palestinian statehood aspirations with all the settlements dotting the palestinian man i mean can there be

a palestine minus the territory given to israeli settlers. absolutely not listen so to is. illegal under international law it was a grocer violation of. geneva convention the war crime compounded actually a war crime it's something that has no power in our ward especially in the twenty first century such it has to stop the war that has to come together to prevent it and to divert actually so sad so the man's illegal there is no room for them to stay the fact that they are not given any additional legitimacy they have to be dismantled and settlers have to leave our territory all right ambassador we're going to take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking to knots or all could well former palestinian your ambassador and the country's foreign minister to talk more about their prospects of finding

a solution to the palestinian question stay with us. elliston is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bill fiddlesticks mission to do it for you like you know. this isn't my cup of tea is going up to the study hall maybe you know john you know

about a tough job with a ship the only palestinians who gets the most help from his jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world under the oak vision did not only could get it. and know it is all up at night as to how to this lady in the most of the jihad i'm going to compete in the doesn't seem to do more of the most also because often. hey everybody i'm stephen bob taft hollywood guy usual suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v.'s to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different i'm honest you can find i know no one knows about with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have fun meet everyday americans. and closely start to bridge the gap this is the great

american people which. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see that. back with the nasser all could well former palestinian foreign minister and u.n. ambassador talking about the prospects of palestinian independence and middle. america matter now it is planning a law that will basically annex the solons and make their territory the territory

of israel proper as israel's government had it towards the destruction of the idea of a palestinian state. i think they are unfortunately we have witnessed a very serious the of the main trend in israel towards the riot extreme right i would say unfortunately in all in all fields not only with regard to the middle east peace process or the conflict between theirs of elites and the palestinians so this is this is a reality what the israelis are trying to do know is to proceed to continue with settlement colonialism to establish more settlements to bring more settlers to the occupied territory hoping to create new facts as they call them and then from the clyde two to one is an exile in a creeping way and a gradual way of of this territory and the ultimate goal of course is to prohibit

or to prevent the palestinian people from exercising the right to self-determination and national independence and to take over the whole palestinian land that's that's the horrible political fact which we need to to face and the whole international community needs to be aware of now that trump has backed israel as a lot of claims and with the prospect of selman the next station by israel what are palestinian options. well we might be the weaker to the weaker side i don't deny that but it's it's a weaker side that has the right that has international law on its side that has the positions of the whole international community and its support so as such if we just maintain our position and state fast in our demands without any hesitation

without any change of all of those positions and i think no power in the world would be able to defeat the palestinian people and to but event them to to to deprive them from the national natural rights hamas after the jerusalem affair has called for a new intifada against israel can there be a third general uprising in palestine any time soon of course that it can be because the israeli policies and his only practice is the oppressed oppressive measures being deployed against the palestinian people everywhere and the set of colonialism the theft of our land and the many many. diverse stating things that the israelis are doing of course the can cause the intifada or uprising that will is let me let me indicate that this does not become. the decision of any party this is not something that political forces can can plan and

gun decided stymie this is something that should be and is spontaneous if it comes and hopefully. the israeli side will stop those policies and practices or actually the palestinian side the palestinian people who will decide to go in a new uprising against such policies and practices so that's foster the party of your uncle yasser arafat's support the idea of an intifada. no listen our policy has fled to his is is clear i mean now we we do support the popular the popular resistance that that is to say peace is a stance that peaceful dejection of the israeli policies and all of israeli measures we hope that this this should be this will be enough to do to stop the.

two chains it had to to. enable us both sides to these political settlement but nevertheless it's not totally and one hand it's it's actually dependent on what the israelis might or might not continue to do in the future so would you support a violent resistance if it broke out. over the three we would not we would love that point we don't want the bloodshed we don't want violence with violence we we want peaceful relationship we want to establish peace in the middle east but again it takes two to tango and it is largely dependent on what the israelis might or might do i would remain committed to popular resistance and peaceful ways and means to resist occupation to master israel put

aside fatah and hamas have little love for each other can there be an agreement made by israel and the west bank palestine and not gas or palestine. no of course any agreement to cover all of the palestinian territory including including does and while you might be divided that is no more love lost between fatah and hamas we are both i think committed to the palestinian national interest and the city of their establishment or the independence of the state of palestine on ninety six to seven borders as we lose a limb as its capital so this is something very important which is in common between the between the two sides so we have to struggle together to achieve this and we have to end the split to to achieve enough occasion of the palestinian territory that that is to say between gaza and the west bank but if the west bank let's say reaches an agreement and. how how do you work around that

well the main problems we have. to relate to the west bank and settlements taking place in the west bank. and of course it is in the west bank it's a dems to two. settlements and the role the exact lines between the two states they lay so the west bank so. all the problems that exist between the palestinian and israeli side story late to the west bank so in a sense. does not have really appear in the picture in terms of actually reaching an agreement between the palestinian and the israeli side nevertheless for us the palestinians very important to be included in any final arrangements and of course the. dignity of the palestinian territory

the unity between gaza and the west bank is something that's very important not only emotionally and there should be but also economically and in terms of the viability of the palestinian state to be independent now the founding arrah five generation of leadership based lowly you in a way to new politicians who shelby mahmoud abbas's successor i mean who when mr abbas chooses to retire well first first of all let me you praise the leadership the historically the ship of the palestinian people generally headed by by yasser arafat and other leaders including mahmoud abbas as well. in terms of who is the successor of this is something that will be decided by the palestinian people maybe through the palestinian in institutions when the time comes and i'm sure that the palestinian people out of capable of of living up to such

responsibility and to take the necessary this is in when when needed. would you accept the duty of the palestinian presidency if it was offered to you. well i think i'm not being offered this duty by the palestinian people at this stage it's there is no there is no good question to. at this stage when when when when is that bridge we would see how to cross including the commitment of the personality duties that might or might not be in place a lot of palestinians from the refugee bread grounds are now fighting in the syrian civil war or talk a bit about that conflict maybe i'll could spray gate in a lap or supporting syrian government forces does that mean that the palestinians in general are sympathetic to the assad costs no it means that the palestinian generally the palestinians general as you put it. in this conflict we

didn't want to become a whole who is the. peaceful settlement negotiations debate discussions among among. parties is actually the best way forward unfortunately we would not listen to most of the time but this nevertheless has been our our position and i get a little bit that we are not taking sides in the syrian conflict we only wish. to see an end to that conflict and to to see a peaceful solution that will. stop the bloodshed and enable the syrian people to govern themselves in the right way that they would choose themselves you were a u.n. envoy to syria at the beginning of the civil war there right now some progress is

being made in the peace process yet evidently the war is still raging when do you think it will peace in syria become a reality one near to never. well i was there as deputy to mr kofi annan the former secretary general of the united nations as the. as common envoys or joint invoiced to. the syrian the syrian conflict. that was a joint pression between the united nations and the league of the arab states and to be frank with you i think the war began then was very serious war the most important of which was the. teaching of g.d. of a communique at the time mr coffin and myself pushed hard to make it the basis for a political settlement unfortunately some parties would not supportive enough so it

didn't it didn't work then and i believe very valuable opportunity was lost since then we have seen ups and downs we have seen the improvement to have seen worsening of the situation now. to see some dangerous phenomena taking place the instantly including increase in the intensity of the fighting in some areas nevertheless we also see some positive elements so maybe. through cooperation among concerned parties we can overcome the remaining difficulties and actually achieve peace and that important arab country. all right thank you very much for this interview we wish you all the best masterwork been talking to nasser all could well former palestinian foreign minister and the country's u.n.

representative discussing their prospects of palestinian independence they're up on our next program we'll hear what the other side of the dispute has to say as i interviewed a former chief of israeli major at military intelligence that's it for. this edition of stuff oh and also next. what politicians do something good. to put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to. let you go on to be prosperous like the forty three in the morning can't be good.

i'm interested always in the waters of my college. first sip. laughs i just. spoke. to. the first. server i want to do it just show the face you would probably be very clear like. the way you go. man i mean. i'm a on they they when they up and they have male a fattening. him you need yeah you failed to show me. something yeah i'm them what do you have a bit of a hamas a look at what do you do you one then the muslim i'm going to talk to somebody

might if this was actually my helmet i mean that with a measuring stick with a constant negative fashion line. applied for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the shaper money just kill you narrowness and spending through to the twenty million a one player. it's an experience like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy great so one more chance with. the base and it's going to take.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last wrong turn. to cut up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each fret. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one different person to speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

would need to make this manufacture consent instinctive public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. with the primary your own lives only the one person. that's to bring the whole middle of the room sick. to lose millions more you hear is really the world. thank. her for her. heart. her. through her. thank. you.
