we heard from an egyptian court that they banned the armed wing of hamas. that could be a coincidence but reading between the lines what do you think is the egyptian government's strategy right now? >> actually, the strategy of the government is to continue fighting with this group. as i mentioned president sisi clearly mentioned that this war group directly targeted the muslim brotherhood group. he spoke you of the group that is mentioning and some official people in egypt and the government. clearly many media presenters, which is they are already you know presenting the governmental situation and talks, they are talking--they are attacking from the beginning in the last two days attacking muslim brotherhood group and hamas. and the decision of the court today, you know, hamas is also not so far from this. although it's from--it is from the league of nation. >> our cairo bureau chief speaking to us from doha for this story. thank you. >>> jailed al jazeera journalists peter greste, who has been held in an egyptian president for 399 days wrote an open lett

we heard that an egyptian court has ruled the armed wing of hamas as being a terrorist organization. well, hamas has responded now and says that the decision proves that egypt was never an honest mediator between palestinian and israeli issues. it's rejected accusations that it's involved in attacks in sinai. >> this is a political decision that has nothing to do with the judiciary or any legal procedure. this has given in a hasty manner and in a state of confusion chaos and agitation after the latest developments that took place in sinai, hamas condemned the attacks in sinai and call for the unification of the people in these attacks. >> talking to us from exeter it seems that a part of this security's response to what happened in sinai is to deem them a terrorist we brigade ban them and the major--one of the major mediators in the process. >> mainly because in egypt hamas are involved in what is happening in north sinai. it's not really--there is no serious evidence in that sense mainly because of the instability in sinai harms hamas in many ways including the increased coordinatio

as it has in previous attacks, the government blames the palestinian authority and hamas. >> and hamaspraising this mourning's attack has demonstrated exactly what hamas is a brutal and vicious terrorist organization. president abbas cannot have it both ways. he can't link arms with world leaders in paris to condemn terrorism, when he links arms with hamas back home. >> reporter: this is not the first stabbing attack in tel-aviv, the last one happened last november. an israeli soldier was killed after critically wounded with a palestinian man who attempted to grab his weapon near a train station. israelis are angry at this latest attack. it comes ahead of an election in march, something that puts benjamin netenyahu under more pressure to act. >> translator: it's very sad and frightening that a person can get on a bus and attack the driver and passengers. the arabs don't want to live with us in peace, no matter what we do. >> reporter: meanwhile talks between the two sides are stalled and a return to negotiations seems a remote possibility. there has been a brief lull in hostilities bet

we saw what happened in gaza when hamas held a soldier for four years. this is something that israel is extremely sensitive about and something that could escalate the situation. we did hear reports denying that this was at all true, but again very limited information coming from the israeli side about the result of the attacks in northern israel this morning. >> thank you. >> syrian kurds displaced in turkey are celebrating after learning that the town of kobane was captured from isil fighters. the security is still too dangerous for them to return home. >> carefully stepping outside watched by those who fought for their freedom with kurdish forces now in control it's hoped life will return to the streets of kobane. the sign is for peace and victory. for the tense and thousands who fled and hope to return, the road ahead is long. homes reduced to rubble, entire blocks destroyed. officials here say that after four months of battle, at least half the city is gone. syrian refugees in turkey, getting home isn't easy. thousands came to the border on tuesday,

it followed a conflict in july and august last year between israel and hamas that devastated the gaza21 o-0 killed and 70% were civilians according to the united nations, almost 500 children among the dead and more than 250 of them were women. and israel also suffered casualties, 66 military personnel killed along with six israeli civilians and a ty national. let's speak to a u.n. special rap and good to have you with us and many have long complained of impunty and lack of accountability and do you believe this to be a turning point and will justice now be done? >> i think it's a symbolic turning point whether there is the will and the capability to actually hold israeli leaders accountable remains to be seen and i would say it's quite doubtful given the overall political situation and given the limited authority that the international criminal court possesses. nevertheless, one shouldn't under estimate the importance of this symbolic step and it's already outraged the israeli foreign minister which suggests that it's not something trivial or inconsequential. it is in effect a move to

hamas getting funding from iran.f you look at the afghani tall hi ban they're engaged in a human trafficking network. they take that money they use to it fund terrorism. >> administration this is of course the day after seeing al jazeera english. say we're going to ban the use of the term because that is one thing for al jazeera english. but administration is denying that this is a terrorist organization notwithstanding the fact that the national counter terrorism center lists taliban in afghanistan as a terrorist group. state department has a $10 million award for the leader as a terrorist and they're added to the list of specially designated terrorists. >> in october, for supporting activities of the taliban and hakani network -- >> i got to go very to ask you a quick question. you say the real danger in releasing the five guys is what? >> recruitment. people commit terrorist acts against the united states they become stars in the jihad as far as recruitment, as far as fund raising. that is what they do. they're ef

hamas did not claim responsibility for the attack but praised it. >> hamas president abbas' partner in the palestinian unity pac praised this morning's attack and in doing so hamas demonstrated that it is a ruthless and brutal terrorist organization. >> talks between the u.s. and cuba indicated that a migration law will remain for now. discussions were described as productive and constructive, but there are still disagreements in the laws to apply for asylum. andy there are more than a million cubans living in miami. how are they reacting to the talks in havana? >> if you look at the situation in simplistic terms. older cuban-americans are against normalization. they see it as a betrayal of their values. younger cuban americans think that the economic sanctions never worked, and they want to embrace change. that's a fairly simplistic scenario. for instance, this morning i was talking to the young station manager of the only independently owned cuban-american radio station here. he unlike his father, thinks that the embargo is something that doesn't work. but he is very suspicious of wh

there was no implication that hamas was involved. but hamas praising the attack and saying the israelis deserved it because of their treatment of the palestinians. >> has there been any official reaction from the palestinian authority leadership? >> reporter: no, there hasn't. this 23-year-old palestinian from the west bank city was shot in the leg, as we said he's in police custody in the hospital. we understand his mother was also called to the israeli authorities to talk to them. we're not really sure what the status of her is. but right now, there's no indication that this is any kind of larger plot or anything like that. >> i know you'll stay on top of this story. another developing story unfolding right now is the invitation by the house speaker john boehner to the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to come to washington address the joint session of congress on the issue of iran. how's that playing over there? i know the prime minister has accepted this invitation comes in the midst the president of the united states war

hamas is a proxy of iran. >> right. >> it gets its funding from iran. if you look even at the afghani taliban, they're engaged in a human trafficking network that does span international borders. and they take that money and use it to fund terrorism. >> the administration they don't want to use that term terrorist. this is of course a day after we saw al jazeera english, the television channel, say we're going to ban the use of the word terrorist because one man's man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. that is a word we use, at the same time the administration is denying that this group is a terrorist organization notwithstanding the fact the national counterterrorism center lists taliban in afghanistan as a terrorist group. the state department has a $10 million award for the taliban leader as a terrorist. and as i mentioned before they were added to the list of specially designated global terrorists july 2002. >> megyn in october the obama justice department indicted a guy from the afghan taliban from material support to terrorism for suppo

now hamas and palestinian armed groups violated international law as well. they themselves fired at israeli citizens from populated areas but that does not mean that all israeli actions in response to these violations are legal because international humanitarian law classifies if your opponent is violating the law, it does not give you license to do the same. so israel is obligated to distinguish at all times and to be proportionate in its responses even though hamas is violating international law itself. >> still ahead on this news hour. >> the fight for sinjar city is now in its second month. it is a vast area, 100,000 people used to live here. >> the isil snipers on the front line in iraq. and in sports newsmany pacquiao and floyd mayweather may meet for the first time, but not in the ring, though. selling cocaine was my purpose. >> we was starvin', just lookin' for a way to succeed. >> the first time i seen rock cocaine was 1980. >> the murder rate was sky-high. >> south of the 10 freeway, was kind of a "no-man's land". >> you know, we're selling it for

the leaders on hamas. europe just lifted the sanctions on hamas. so when europe says or france says we're engaged in a war against radical islam, they don't include hamas. >> is there any way to get the no-go zones back? does france want it back? does germany want the area back? is this this is metastasizing into a simple takeover. i think you said europe is over? what did you say? >> i said the other day, europe is finished because if you extrapolate the number of muslims -- and i'm not saying that all muslims are terrorists, far from it. >> of course not. >> but the problem is that the leadership of the muslim communities in europe deliberately don't want to integrate. so they establish these zones which refuse to integrate and use them as leverage against the host country as political and military leverage. so will these countries take it back? i don't see it happening at this point. you see reaction by the population, judge. but i don't see the country elites taking it back. that's really unfortunate b

the egyptian authorities accused hamas's armed ring of direct involvement of the attacks in sinai. the ruling was denounced by hamas as a dangerous political decision. >> this is a dangerous precedent by all means. this is a political decision that has nothing to do with the judiciary or any legal procedure, issued by the egyptian authorities in a very hasty manager and in a state of confusion, chaos and acknowledge station after the latest development that took place in sinai. we call for the unity of the egyptian people in facing these attacks and we always supported their stability. >> thousands in pakistan have staged protests against the bombing of a shia mosque. at least 59 were killed in the blast that went off during friday prayers. we have this report: >> thousands of people in southern pakistan gather for a mass funeral. the victims of the mosque bombing are carried through the streets as people pay their respects and offer prayers. the grief is communal, and so is the anger. >> the people who participated in the funeral prayers came from all over the province, even all o

and when you reward hamas, you reward all terrorists.u reward any terrorist, you reward all terrorists. i wrote a whole book about that and mentioned it yesterday. my book "why terrorism works" the thesis is you can't pick and choose the way france and many other h other western european countries do. the point i was making was a very general one, that you can not reward any terrorists, lest all terrorists become incentivized. i think that's been the problem around the world today. i think almost every country picks and chooses. decides which terrorist it's going to get in bed with, which terrorist it's going to oppose. i commend france for what it did today. i think france has changed its policy. france, because it's become a victim of attack. when it was not the victim of attack, when it was trying to play the game of don't attack us, and we'll very gently let you off the hook. germany did the same thing. england did the same thing. and i'm not suggesting countries are bad because they want a palestinian state. i think countries have b

hamas took its hardest hit since its formation, and the army appears to act strongly and on all fronts. this is the line they we hear from the prime minister and the government. and it will respond harshly to the attacks. it will not tolerate breaches of sovereignty. there's a lot of analysis out on tv channels local israeli tv chapels. they'll be calculating the best way to respond, a response that is not so wide or heavy, that they will end this recent round of violence. since the attack on israel 10 days ago. many say israel may not be interested in an open explanation with hezbollah, but will respond, but in a way that will contain and end this and some analysis suggest that it's not interested this action. that's why it didn't fire at civilians, but targeted a clear target. there is a chance that really this may not lead to an escalation but you never know. analysis suggests that both sides may not be interested right now. especially after israel only recently came out of a long drawn-out war with hamas and gaza and that we'd see an election in israel at the end of march, which pr

. >> hamas controls gaza. what is hamas saying about this terror attack? >> reporter: well there's no indication at all that hamas was involved in this attack. it looks like we're talking about a lone wolf attack but hamas praised this attack says this is israeli punishment for treatment of palestinians and to that point, israeli prime minister netanyahu said it's this incitement against israel and not just in israel itself but the anti-semitism you see around the world in paris last week for instance is what inspires palestinians to go after israelis in these type of attacks. >> elise labott, thank you so much. benjamin netanyahu is making big news in washington today. news that the prime minister will address a joint session of congress next month. he was invited by house speaker john boehner to come to speak to congress about iran. this comes as congressional leaders consider a proposal to increase sanctions against this country, something the president said he will veto. congress stands in opposition to the president. so does prime minister benjamin ne

prompted this in the end the massive incursion on the israeli army in the occupied west bank, all of hamas' leadership there also raiding many villages many homes it calls incredible tension during the period over the summer, hamas also increased it's robert fire, and of course we then saw the gaza war take place in july, so certainly, a whole chain of events one that can say escalated tensions on the ground here, so now a verdict, by the courts three life sentences. >> well, the 50 people who have died in battle between the iraqi army and fighters from the islamic state it sill launch add series of attacks. at least seven soldiers died after a suicide car bombing. two suicide bombers and gunman also attacked a mosque where 23 soldiers were killed. and attacks marking the iraq's army day. lay add wreath at the unknown soldiers monument five green zone this year's celebrations are more somber. as the fight continues. >> reports from baghdad. >> in the orchards outside, 100-kilometers west of the capitol of baghdad. they use to hunt for improvised explosive devices. captures by iraqi forces.

you know what hamas is doing to the palestinian children. this shows that isis has a long-term goal about the west, about christians anybody not a member of the muslim faith. and i don't think we're really thinking about how we're going to deal with that. but whatever we're going to come up with it's going to have to be something new, something innovative. we need new minds and ideas with new suggestions. >> general mcinerney you've been warning of this for some time. this is not a new development, you say. >> no it is not, tucker. i commend catherine for an excellent segment on that. as bill pointed out hamas has been doing this for quite some time. it is part it is part of their ideology. it jumps clearly across religion into an ideology which radical islam is. now, the real political correct term of where does moderate islam and radical islam, where is the dividing line is the difficulty. and because it has been difficult and we have not wanted to hold the muslims accountable for this we have politically correctly digressed from even aski
