because benyamin netanyahu had developed a close relationship with president trump. what is the feeling there about the president's? well, i think to have to look at it from a different angle because president elect joe biden is very well known in israel. he has described himself as a friend of israel. he has said he has known every prime minister since the 1970 s. . also, he knows where the current israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu, but at the same time it will not be the same relationship of what we've seen in the past 4 years between benyamin netanyahu and us president donald trump of the same kind of policies are favors. now the main concern for israelis here is especially also for the right wing in israel is what kind of foreign policy rule see from the incoming biden administration. will there be a reversal of policies like in the iran nuclear deal, or the paramita is that the tribe administration has said when it comes to the israeli palestinian conflict. so there's much concern about that. what will be refuted, how this foreign policy will look like,

well, it's quite instance you can read between the lines of the statements from benyamin netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, a very close ally of donald trump. he waited until this morning to put out his congratulations to joe biden, and then quickly followed with a tweet of thanks to donald trump. really trying to sort of soften the blow. but i think the sign that you know, even someone as close to trump as mess and yahoo is seeing the writing on the wall is a sign of donald trump's power of being away. right, richard walker, thanks very much for that. as we just heard here in europe, many leaders are hoping joe biden will help repair transatlantic ties that have been strained under the trump presidency. so what would a biden presidency look like for europe is more terms of america. 1st policy translated into a poor back from its position as a world power willing to work with others is a rhotic policy. so it's taken many long standing allies to call 1st and foremost, the european union. now european capitals are hoping for some kind of return to normality, american security prospe

but it won't be the same kind of relationship that be seen over the past 4 years between benyamin netanyahu and u.s. president, donald trump. and the main concern i think in israel is now how will this foreign, the, how does a foreign policy look like of the incoming biden up ministration? what will they reverse? what will they have review? the main concern is if they're looking here at the iran nuclear deal, the trump administration withdrew from it in 2018, but also pertaining to issues of the israeli palestinian conflict. a trump administration, recognize jerusalem as the cops of israel moving the embassy. they cut funds to the palestinians, so this is what the israelis will be looking at, especially also the right wing here. and also how important actually, the region will be for the incoming biden ministration. have to deal with for years. thank you our, let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . a report finds that members of australia's special forces unlawfully killed $39.00 afghan civilians and prisoners. the internal investigati

well, but it won't be the same kind of relationship that be seen over the past 4 years between benyamin netanyahu and u.s. president, donald trump. and the main concern i think in israel is now how will this foreign, how does a foreign policy look like of the incoming biden up ministration? what will they reverse? what will they have review? the main concern is if they're looking here at the iran nuclear deal, the trump administration withdrew from it in 2018, but also pertaining to issues of the israeli palestinian conflict. a trump administration, recognize jerusalem as the cops of israel moving the embassy. they cut funds to the palestinians, so this is what the israelis will be looking at, especially also the right wing here. and also how important actually, the region will be for the incoming biden up ministration. definitely have to deal with for years. that's for sure. thank you our, let's have a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . a new report finds that members of australia's special forces unlawfully killed $39.00 afghan civilians and priso

saudi arabia is denying that crown prince mohammed bin met with israel's prime minister benyamin netanyahu. the saudi foreign minister tweeted this response after the israeli public broadcaster reported a meeting took place. it was said to have included the head of israeli intelligence agency, mossad and the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o r e 4. so has more from ramallah in the occupied west bank. the education minister said it was a great achievement, despite the semi official way in which it had come out. netanyahu rival and alternate prime minister and defense minister benny gantz was criticizing the us. and you know, for having this meeting leaked out in such a way, the israeli prime minister himself was asked about it during an appearance of the israeli parliament, the knesset, during which he said that for many years he had never publicly commented on such things that he wouldn't start now, but that he continued to work to expand the circle of peace. so i think the preponderance of evidence, certainly from the israeli side is that this meeting did take place. it was 1st seen i

the same time it will not be the same relationship of what we see in the past 4 years between benyamin, netanyahu and u.s. president on the trumbull, the same kind of policies of favors now the main concern for israelis here is especially also for the right wing in israel is what kind of foreign policy rule see from the incoming biden administration. will there be a reversal of policies like in the iran nuclear deal, or the paramita is that the time? but mr. ation has said when it comes to the israeli palestinian conflict, so there's much concern about that. what will be refuted, how this foreign policy will look like, and also how important it will be on the agenda of the incoming administration. to thank you. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. members of australia's special forces killed $39.00 afghan civilians and prisoners according to a new internal investigation into ministry misconduct, evidence of summary executions in afghanistan during initiation rituals. the chief of the defense chief of the australian defense force has apologised. the cas

the story coming up in the israeli public broadcaster has reported that prime minister net benyamin netanyahu has made an unannounced visit to saudi arabia to meet with the crown prince mohammed bin solomon. the saudi foreign minister has just tweeted, denying such a meeting has occurred. let's bring in harry fossett live for us in ramallah in the occupied west bank. so the saudis are saying the meet and it didn't happen. what are these ready say? that's right. it's curious and curious of this secret meeting which was not very secret and is now being denied ever took place at all by the saudis were all read you a tweet. this is from the saudi foreign minister. i've seen press reports about a port of meeting between his royal highness, the crown prince and israeli officials, during the recent visit by secretary pompei of the u.s. search of state. no such meeting occurred. the only officials present were american and saudis. so that is now the official saudi line. while at the same time, there have been all these reports from political journalists in israel, suggesting very direct leaks from th
