it blames the palestinian authority for not being responsible enough and he did there will be no peaceful solution or an end to violence so. thank you very much for being with us in the studio thank you for inviting me i. well first question is about your visit to moscow some say that this is really deliberation that's in moscow now this visit is sort of a response to the visit of a joint palestinian delegation that we can so go is that true no not at all. visited been scheduled long ago as. we celebrate you to simply enjoy those early twenty's and. ensure between now russia and. we have many interests in common and i'm here to discuss this interest especially just not to yuko you know well unfortunately this twentieth anniversary of relations was marked by. the. expelling of israel's military pressure from moscow he was accused of our best and we will have any consequences on russia's relations as it already having some cause and no consequences not we have the open channel to discuss what was exactly zero as a case. there was a relationship i've been harmed as a result of it because all

, particularly on palestinians? >> guest: well, i think the impact -- the biggest impact was the change in egypt and we're still in a very unknown period. but the change -- the potential change of the government -- or the change of the government there and the potential change of the relationship between egypt and israel and one thing you need to understand, to understand how nervous israelis are right now about what's going on around them because this is really -- this is a cataclysmic change we're seeing. for three to four decades we've had exactly the same families in power in all of these arab states. one interesting point is that for the first time in the history of the middle east, in the modern history, you're not hearing israel blamed for all these problems for these arab capitals. the first time the arab street are not say that all their problems is because of the israeli-palestinian conflict is not solved. it is interesting and it's an interesting development. the situation in egypt is important for israel

the israeli policy towards the palestinians has long been criticized in the world as inhumane but the country's politicians seem determined to stick to the tough line. before coming to moscow vice prime minister of israel moshe ya'alon says he didn't see any use for a peace agreement with the palestinians he blames the palestinian authority for not being responsible enough and hinted there will be known peaceful solution or an end to violence soon. thank you very much for being with us in the studio thank you for inviting me well first question is about gives it to moscow some say that this israeli delegation that's in moscow now and that this visit is sort of a response to the visit of a joint palestinian delegation that week or so go. no not at all this is a to have been scheduled long ago as. we celebrated recently you can join us and you. can share between. we have many interests and commons and i'm here to discuss this interest especially interest of the korean well and fortunately this twentieth anniversary of relations was marked by. the. expelling of israel's military pressure

mission of the palestinian state was already announced in ninety made by us and. and nothing happened so this can happen again and again will not gain anything to the palestinians a what can what it can achieve is the continuation of the delegitimization of the state of israel and this is something that i think can be avoided only through bilateral talks do you have faith that netanyahu is serious about peace i have faced in him because for the last two years when i served my country is the israeli ambassador to the united nations a saw i watch very clearly not only what he said in the belly landing in first speech which was two states for two countries but also the way that he acted in freezing for ten months building in the settlements which no can no government ever before why then do we hear so much about settlement building taking place despite the construction freeze that there was not the continuation of the building in those ten months but in those ten months what happened was the palestinians they don't move in spite of the fact the the freeze there was a

looking objectively i don't think it's us to blame and compare palestinians. israel and they have a strategy of the legitimizing the state of israel. they favor in the walls they failed in the economy boy called cultural boy called big. failed in trying. to tell the root in the streets and the buses all over israel now they have a diplomatic complaint against israel and i think they succeeded in showing israel is the. thing is that our foreign power over in the west bank specially in gaza and the people and the suffering of the people there which i do not want to belittle but still this is part of the strategy in the i think this is why we are being the legitimized in the hope and they know that only the peace talks once they will be started really going back to the right track in the keep this stop this kind of penetration of the day should the palestinians unilaterally declare a palestinian state law school israel's reaction i don't know if you know some people here say the. we can also take unilateral steps. like the disengagement i know all kinds of unilat

fine i love the mark with freedom flotilla two point zero four thousand pro palestinian activists from twenty two countries are said to join the freedom flotilla two in a. at seven thirty pm on scout time these are the top stories on our t.v. the greek government agrees on a stringent set of all sturdy measures as riot police battled protesters just meters away from parliament cuts are a prerequisite for more bailout cash from the e.u. to fight off a looming to fall. on the greek economic turmoil is the first challenge facing the new international monetary fund chief christine lagarde the first woman to head the organization so has the tough task of fighting off the perception that the i.m.f. is biased in favor of western countries. but syria's on brass threats to spread across the middle east israel is increasing security of its borders with lebanon after reports from but is moving weapons there in case its ally president also spoke with. the israel is also reading itself for more trouble as a new humanitarian flights tiller sells for gaza will see a repeat will we see a repeat i shou

do the palestinians -- fast forward to today. this is the holiest offer the palestinians. israel might take it away. guest: absolutely. this is where diplomacy will have to comment. you have to be creative. there were notions that the mosque and the religious compound that had been there for 1300 years would remain in muslim hands. but that the ground below it be in jewish hands. talking about belowground would have one sovereign and above ground would have another sovereign. you're going to have to come up with some very creative solutions. this is the one spot for an israeli leader to relinquish sovereignty of the holiest site .n judea's aism this is a difficult thing for any politician. host: you conducted a lot interviews while you live there. you got personal stories down to the specifics of this conflict. ,'m wondering from both of you is the end goal of statehood more important, or is the site? guest: it depends for whom you're talking about. i think what we're hearing now is interesting. in recent days, there has been talked about palestinians going for a vote abou

next we look at the state of a stalled israeli palestinian peace process especially in syria. with me i have to face the governor she lives the former israeli ambassador to the united nations professor thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. think you're funny you were recently quoted as saying that the united states will not veto the u.n. recognition of a palestinian state come september why are you so sure of this i did not say the united states is not going to veto what they said is the united states has their own considerations in we should not act as if the vehicle is in our pocket which you can it is not we must do our best to avoid the resolution to come. in the security council nor to the. general assembly in the i think we should not trust the united states to ripple but we should trust ourselves if obama was not to veto the declaration of a palestinian state would he not face political pressure at home i mean after all there is an exception and he wants to win you know if the problem. is the interest the continuing give way but i i think obama really wants pe

stop this kind of thousands of victims of to make sure the palestinians unilaterally declare a palestinian state not all israel's reaction i don't know but you know some people here say that. we can also pick unilateral steps. like the disengagement i know that all kinds of unilateral on our side or on the christian. going to home and to be an obstacle to the peace in the region when i don't know how we will react but i still hope that the palestinian will understand that this kind of limited the collision will bring them no will this is not the way to achieve what everybody wants which is peace with least some kind of security in these. suffering we've been clashes have we saw recently along the northern israeli border do you think that this could be a precursor to what was going to see in september really really impressive person. i sure felt to me all. here's something we're going to put this thing in here to promote and politicians and he said that he's afraid of the conflict there will and will be the only letter of the collaboration with nothing will happen until september the youngs

for the palestinians who can look of hole. in the obama administration to be the honest broker in there i think they still see this way just this morning we were now place i believe. the obama administration made very clear that they are going to veto in the security council . of course to become a full members of the will of the nations so you know the trust that. is the other moment in trying to achieve peace in the region in the nordic is trying to pose. as an honest broker is there the possibility that the united states could veto the establishment of a palestinian state and still the general assembly would recognize that the recognition of the palestinian state was already announced the 1980's a bias an offer and nothing happened so this can happen again and again this will not gain anything for the palestinians a what can what it can achieve is the continuation of the illegitimate the ocean of the state of israel and this is something i think can be. void it only through a little. do you have faith that netanyahu is seri

and welcome to cross talk i'm peter lavelle freedom flotilla two point zero over a thousand pro palestinian activists from twenty two countries are said to join freedom flotilla two in a bid to break israel's five year blockade on gaza where one point five million palestinians live what remains to be seen is whether they'll be a violent repeat of last year's flotilla to gaza. to cross out the second freedom flotilla i'm joined by cots in jerusalem he's a military correspondent and defense analyst for the jerusalem post also in jerusalem we have chris gunness he is a spokesperson for the united nations relief and works agency a neutral humanitarian organization with over ten thousand workers on the ground in gaza who's neutral work is based on the united nations charter and universal declaration and in chicago we cross to ali abunimah he is co-founder of the electronic intifada and author of one country a bold proposal to end the israeli palestinian impasse all right gentlemen this is cross talk and it means cross talk rules in effect but first let's have a look at what is called the second

they are not pro palestinians they are palestinians but syrian of the many receive some of the same sort of. there are syrians along with those palestinians there are syrians who are pro the palestinian cause actually demonstrating i guess the. chilly heard that sound syrian support for the palestinians but from what i know and from what i know is that from demonstrators who go to the other side of the border and demonstrate in support of the palestinians to try to get inside these palestinian refugees and the right context to look at what is happening now is the right of return for the palestinian refugees in syria sit there for forty eight they get no civil rights before they'd they kept quiet they didn't do anything because they are afraid of the regime in syria but now the regime in syria is getting weaker and weaker and in a straight protest all along all over syria it's easier also for the palestinians who are rest. and you never left or never gave up wish to get back to their own homeland which is israel. yes they make use of the of the weakness of us as region in order to de

for the palestinians put a lot of hope. in the obama administration to be the honest broker in the i think they still see this way just this morning we were announced this. the obama administration made it very clear that they are going to veto in the security council in the quest to become a full members of the unit in the nation so you know the trust that. is at the moment in trying to achieve peace in the region in they know that is trying to perceive himself as an honest broker is there the possibility that the united states could veto the establishment of a palestinian state and still the general assembly would recognize that. mission of the palestinian state was already announced the nineteen eighty eight. and nothing different so this can happen again and again in the it's. not gain anything to the palestinians a what can what it can achieve is the continuation of the delegitimization of the state of israel and this is something that i think can be avoided only through bilateral talks do you have faith that netanyahu

but this time it seems to be more about a tug of war between israel and pro palestinian forces as well as israel's resolve to avoid a presence that would undermine its grip on gaza a little to see where this is a little bit and the u.s. has made it clear that it stands by its traditional ally and has even more of american citizens to stay clear of the second quarter or to gaza we didn't want to which is a necessary are useful for to try to see the people of gaza and we'll see this it's not for there to be for two months try to pull connections back into israeli waters and create a new situation in which these are very. well the us the organizers of the flotilla remain determined even in the face of possible violence it would seem that breaking the blockade of gaza is the key to alleviating will the united nations says has led to a humanitarian crisis in gaza. bain's . suffering. from the shalom the second freedom flotilla to gaza faces many of the same political and security issues of the first protel are the palestinians and their international supporters demands an end to rub a dream
