palestinians? another story that also stuck a palestinian resident of israel friend of mine. she was well-educated, very dated is really guys -- i think even one of them was army, sleeping with the enemy kind of thing. she was very rebellious. but she loves ramallah. aw ofs in all of it -- in it. we would go to this karaoke place and you could see she was alive. for her, she wanted a purely palestinian space, where she could just be herself and not be politically correct and careful of what she says, if it comes out wrong, what have you. this was at a time when it was my seventh year in palestine and i was living the dysfunctionality of palestinians. it was really weighing on me. i was getting jaded. i was feeling that we, as palestinians, have a lot of work to do, regardless of occupation. for her, it was paradise. at the same time, for many palestinians in the west bank, it was going to tel aviv or these urban developed areas. the final example i would give .s my cousins when i talked to them abo

defines some of us palestinians. another, let's say story that also stuck with me bass the palestinian friend, a palestinian citizen of israel, a friend of mine from haifa, hezbollah and hamas. she was educated and dated israeli guys and i think one was an army, like sleeping with the enemy kind of thing. she was rebellious in that sense, however, she loved ramallah. she was in awe of it. like despite the fact that her life in haifa was much, economically more prosperous and she had more freedoms, she would come to ramallah and go to a place in ramallah, you probably know it and you could see she was alive because for her, right, she wanted a purely palestinian space, a space where she just could be herself and not like be politically correct, careful what she says it comes out wrong and what have you. so it struck me-- this was coming out of my seventh year in palestine and i was getting-- living in the functionality of palestinian society, a lot of it a result of the occupation, but we still have functionality weig

the culture of case is prevailing among palestinians. among all palestinians. who are those people who join daesh, isil? none of them are from palestine. what does this mean? i salute our people in jerusalem who have given one of the most bright examples of peaceful popular resistance against the israeli colonial operation. when they prevented them from praying, they prayed outside. they were praying, and they were victorious. [applause] i salute our people in exile and in the diaspora. i support our people who remain steadfast in the west bank and we had and also the besieged gaza strip. i salute our glorious martyrs. and our courageous prisoners who are in israeli jails. i tell them all that freedom is coming. it is inevitable. it will come. and occupation shall come to an end. it will either be the independence of the state of palestine to live side-by-side in peace and security with the state of israel on the 1967 wish, or if they equal rights for all of the inhabitants of the land of palestine, historic palestine, from the river to the sea. will they accep

we as palestinians and arabs. and the whole world have the choice of the international law and the two state solution on the borders of nineteen sixty seven and we will grant every chance for the efforts being undertaken by president donald trump and the quartet and the international community at large to. a historic agreement or a deal. we have heard that they are seeking a historic deal and we would like to thank them we hope that this will take place. so we stress the two state solution. enabling the state of palestine to live side by side with the state of israel in security and peace but if the two state solution where to be destroyed due to the creation of a one state reality with two systems apartheid. from the unchecked imposition of this occupation that is rejected by our people and the international unity this would be a failure and neither you nor we will have any other choice but to continue the struggle and demand equal rights for all inhabitants of historic palestine this is not a threat but we are w

taking some least we have still coming from the palestinian side we are giving up too early to. also taking some secure with phyllis so the answer is that this can change the situation of fees when in the region and they'll feel it's not just to both giving something to the palestinians but also getting something from d.r. ups this is one thing from these early perspective. on the almost. but full form his i don't know political reason so either we don't see a real move toward these well it's interesting that. you make this argument by. because israel has long balked at the palestinians going to the united nations and trying to internationalize the issue but this sensually you're advocating the exact same thing only with sunni arabs because you can gain your own benefits there i mean how is that different from the palestinians trying to involve the europeans in the international community to how them resolve their issues with you i believe in by a lot on the go but i believe these by a lot of on the should be supported by the international community not to replace the decisions

and i think on the spirit of different people the palestinian state would be demilitarized the palestinians all of the agree to this and this is supposed to feel secure with the months and also the interest of the road nobody wants in the states in the region or failed states in the region now going back to your negotiations with the palestinians i heard both you and say barack out the chief palestinian negotiator express guarded optimism concerning the trumpet ministrations willingness to restart the talks that was about three months ago i gather you are not as optimistic as you are right unfortunately because you know when we had this meeting the first meeting between trump and the trump and i will maz and then him his visit to the region crumple speaking about the big deal and the recently one deal that i believe convert can these and can give an answer to both of. this thing ends and this is the two states for two peoples a solution i know that this is something that is being supported by. the entire international community so there was a possibility here to have everybody supporting so

silly deal with still going he's asian unfortunately on the palestinian side hamas the for isn't the religious side of the conflict. they represent also in a way. ideology that would never accept our right to live in peace in the region using and this is something also that need to be by the international community and of course is. acting against it when when we should well let's let me let's discuss your ideas on the resolution of these really palestinian conflict in just a few moments we have to take a very short break but we will be back very soon. they're bred for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. eight months of intensive schooling. rats. and they save lives. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporate corporations run washington the washington post media the media folks voters elected businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. there are not ones up. on the flu shot down one but it's nighttime the

granting hope to be postilion -- palestinian people would peopleeap -- palestinian that they would soon achieve independence within their state. what is left of this hope? and gentlemen,es we recognize the state of israel on the 1967 borders. refusal to recognize these borders has put into question the mutual recognition we find in oslo in 1993. since my speech before your august assembly, when i appealed year forto be the ending the israeli occupation of the territory of the state of the israeli government has pursued its settlement campaign on our land, in defiance of all international conventions and the relevant resolutions of palestine. with itsrsisted flagrant disregard for the two-state solution, resorting to procrastination, into devising pretexts to invade responsibility to end its occupation of the territory of the state of palestine. instead of addressing the underlying issues and the root causes of the conflict, it has tried to divert international attention towards secondary issues caused by its colonial policies. we call for an end to the israeli occupation of the territor

agencies as they've done before or even a palestinian would seek a u.n. security council resolution on palestinian statehood that these were referred to by a bass but without any concrete idea that they were imminent but it was suggested as a future possibility or do you think mr abbott says reading is of the trumpet ministrations policy given that after we heard the speech from donald trump there was really only one world leader who was utterly fulsome in his praise for donald trump and that of course was benjamin netanyahu. you know i mean if the problem goes back before trump and that's how we've got to where we are today in terms of mahmoud abbas and the palestinian strategy for a long time well as idea has been that if you please watch washington if you're close with washington with whoever's in the white house that that will produce pressure on israel to make concessions and turn your key taishan and so forth that hasn't worked to date and it's certainly not working with a man like donald trump in the white house in donald trump's been there for nin

on the welcome to the world apart after years of being unable to strike a peace deal with the palestinians israel now wants to have a say in the resolution of another conflict this time in syria its objective is clear to minimize the regional influence of iran but is it a little bit too late in the game well to discuss that i'm now joined by believe me a prominent israeli politician and former foreign minister of israel ms levy it's great to see you thank you very much for talking to us thank you now you are currently in the opposition to use reilley prime minister benjamin netanyahu by this far as i understand when it comes to the issue of iran most israeli politicians agreed that it represents a major deadly threat to israel that has to be curtailed through all possible means at my right in formulating your position yes not only for recently police station so we believe that iran the supposed to use word but not only to you but to be into . and therefore we need to be dealt with the international community as such. i see him prime minister netanyahu who recently visited russia communicat

for accepting any palestinian any investigation any palestinian legal authority at the i.c.c. not only that you have nikki haley at the united nations who has the foreign policy experience of having visited several times the international house of pancakes and is essentially a marionette for neo conservatives the heritage foundation and american enterprise institute of rented the vacant space in nikki haley's head and sent her on a one woman mission against palestine she has even said that any palestinian no matter who they are if they are appointed to any senior position at the u.n. she will. sanction she will she will begin to sanction the palestinian authority and remove money that the u.s. provides to them so i mean she has threatened the i.c.c. repeatedly and it's almost impossible for the palestinians to get anything done as long as the united states and its partners in the e.u. are taking are taking this kind of position which allows for no legal recourse for palestinians at all what recourse do palestinians have if they don't have any legal recourse they have either vi

one group attack yo ask says your race is palestinians -- they view the palestinians is underdogs. they're the underdog and they're the weaker part. and because they are the weak are part you have to answer the question by saying, yes, we are are -- 80% of israel is willing to settle for peace in the conflict, however securing our security, defense, and the understanding we face bombings, we hays kid butchering kids, we face kids simply slaughter other people, innocent people, and we have to defend. the, and there are ways how to employ your right of self-defense. secondly, we are willing -- for example, an issue that comes up is the settlement issue. the seeslements are an issue in debate within israeli democracy because when israel went for peace, it approved settlements both in sinai and then in gaza so i knows how to do it. moreover, the solution which are known to all, speak about three major israeli settlement blocks and comprise only 40% of the land in dispute and are going to be swapped with other land which israel will give. so there is a solution. all you need is come to

the aftermath of a deadly attack in the occupied west bank this gate is used every day by palestinian workers employed inside the illegal israeli settlement of har adar police say at around seven a.m. on tuesday one of the group pulled out a hand gun and fired on security forces guarding the entrance as a result and for twenty three israelis were killed pronounced dead at the scene by emergency units a fourth person was taken to hospital in serious condition the attacker. was shot dead a thirty seven year old father of four from the nearby palestinian village of beit syria he was a familiar face in the settlement and worked there for many years developing longstanding relationships with settlers. helping i think with the garden and. the. neighbors the israeli president called it a cruel act of terror the prime minister blamed incitement by the palestinian authority and others in gaza hamas and islamic jihad hailed what they called an act of palestinian resistance while rival faction fatah said israel responsibility for the reactions of palestinians to its crimes the consequences of wh

the palestinian national unity. that dream was riven by gunfire in two thousand and seven when hamas prevailed in street battles and the political division between gaza and the occupied west bank began repeated attempts to reconcile have collapsed this time fatah says it's ready to send its officials to gaza that plans are in place for the unity government to get to work its no matter of details. we now look positively on this but we need clarifications and the clarifications should come from the guarantor and the mediator which is egypt some of those who potentially have the most to gain from any deal between hamas and fatah and the hundreds of thousands of gazans who live in refugee camps like this one but over ten years of separation and economic blockade they become used to being let down. they certainly borne the brunt of the palestinian authority's recent pressure tactics four hours electricity a day has become the norm this on top of a crippled economy which is left mahmoud and his four sons among so many oth

what we the palestinians seeking? the war seeking a seat at the table to immediately strip israel of theirs. arafat announced the world we have entered the world through its widest gate and now zionism will get out. short time after that we see the zionism is racism resolution which deems the national liberation of the jewish people to be a form of racism the u.s. representative to the u.n. decries this as an assault on liberal democratic values that had given the appearance of international legitimacy to antisemitism. the zion him is race presented the blueprint of the political war in israel that has been raged every sense. dennis ross, said of the palestinians recently that they're obsessed more than anything is in symbolic victories, rather than seeking to uplift their people or build institutions necessary for statehood, they obsess about getting their flag flown at the united nations. the day after the flag goes up, nothing change. i have sympathy for this perspective but its not merely a symbolic victory. conti

magic of the palestinians are the palestinian division has been going on for more than ten years now and over the past ten years we have seen a number of initiatives a number of agreements between hamas and fatah. and other other capitals and unfortunately all of these have failed to put an end to palestinian division understood palestinian national unity and i have to say that the palestinians right now are skeptical about the success of this new initiative by the egyptians and as we always have been saying that the devil is in the details so yes there is a new understanding between hamas and for that between hamas and egyptians but probably once they get in once they dig deep into the details of their consideration we might see a new obstacles in the coming in you days and weeks with regard to how to get together how to put an end to division that has been going on for ten years and a new facts have been created on the ground both in the gaza strip and the west bank thank you very much for joining us with that insight and indeed those facts on the ground include the tens of thousan
