sisi is against them and so is abbas for his own good reasons.t means to destroy the life of their young people and preventing them from having a future. which is reasonable. to be young today is nice, like always but it is expensive. [laughter] young people have to compete very heavily in education and their parents cannot tell them as they did. you have to allow the young children to live in a new era. >> apart from one piece which i want to continue to talk about, israel has become this remarkable center for technology. >> yes. >> how did that happen and why did that happen? >> let me say in a light way and a serious way. that is because of the jewish dna. [laughter] [applause] the jewish dna does not permit a jew to be satisfied. and they are not satisfied. they are all the time looking to improve things and i do not know a real jewish person who is satisfied. [laughter] >> i must be jewish. >> yes. [laughter] [applause] >> on the serious side. israel is a holy country, actually. many people complained about moses. why did you take us to isra

i think there is a formula that may be abbas can agree to. that is my impression.he statement and the agreement would be the following. state a jewish state, israel. one state a palestinian state, palestine. so this will fit both the realities and the declaration. >> it seems on the issue of war and peace that net -- everybody knows what the settlement has to be. since not really changed the 1967 war. >> it did change for a much. the two state solution was not accepted either the two major parties of israel, the right and the left. the right -- [indiscernible] solution. two state people say -- it is a process. standpoint,our there is a clear majority and .fficial policy of israel support a two state solution. they wanted to conquer everything. principle, least in there is an agreement that a two state solution is the best. difficult it will be and confiscated. life is difficult -- they asked and he said what was the alternative? you have to think in terms of s.ternative >> of all the prime ministers, who have you been doses two, was zakthat sucker been -- it rabin?

they can actually send a message to president abbas. very much that president abbas the leader of palestinians has condemned the kidnapping. the problem is that president government with the kidnappers. so he's condemningi terrorism oneday and he's joinh terrorists the next. we think the next important thing8l send a clear message to president abbas to dismantle the alliance, the attacks he hasgzw made with the hamas owingion to turn their back on'his back4y&rk to peace negotiations. >> rose: for history's sake, what had the government of israel said before about the fact that hamas and the plo or the fatah had come together. ,clear that they found that an unacceptable organization to deal with. >> as soon as they announced this alliance was going to su takeplace, the ;+ñtity cabif israel met and made clear thatit political negotiations with this new palestinian government because we're not going to negotiate with those committed to our destruction. that decision was made already six weeks ago. the!join, president abbas joinep with ham

mahmoud abbas will have a meeting in doha. can they agree on a way forward, which hasn't been the case in the last two weeks. two things here. one even if hamas is, you know, the main players on the scope, as we hear, still they recognise the role from mahmoud abbas. they are not really convinced that he's doing an amazing job. they still consider him as, you know as a spokesman of the palestinians. this is a fact. the second fact that after the unity government from two months ago, they believe that they can't work together. they believe that palestinians can't work out all of their differences. the problem is what is happening between hamas and mahmoud abbas. the problem is how much you can convince israeli government, and binyamin netanyahu in particular to end the military operation. basically, i mean, israelis respect of the leadership of pal stipe, they should listen to the advice and report, because all of the number of casualties will undermine the authorities, if they want mahmoud abbas to be more popular they have -

and i think that even within the government, that refusing so far to talk to the abbas, now abbas looksart of the problem, but part of the future solution of the israeli-palestinian relationship. >> is the labor party, your labor chance of becoming the minority party any time soon? >> i hope so. i hope so. you know, history tells us that after wars there is a political crisis and new elections and maybe new chance open to us in the next election. but before the time being, bear in mind, we support the government and we -- it is not only about us. it is the entire israeli public now is united in the first, in the same line, to hold the government -- to help idf to accomplish goals of this battle. >> opposition leader in the israeli, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. >> palestinian ambassador to the united states joining us now live from new york. let me get your quick reaction to what you just heard, ambassador. he says that he believes the two state solution, israel and palestine, can live together. that there is a palestinian partner for peace. what do you say? >> this is our pos

abbas. is that unity working today? >> what roll does mr. abbas play in all of this? >> hamas. >> first and foremost hamas used to suffer, however its management of gaza was successful indeed. we surmounted every single challenge. i actually challenge any government to manage 1.8 million people in our circumstances. we were successful. but indeed, yes in the last few months, we fell short of paying the civil servants, indeed. and this the responsibility of the international community. but this didn't compel us or propel us of the unity. the unity was to do with our right. all we didn't want to pull the strings of governance. we are wanted for unit government. israel prevented it from sending the transaction, sending the money for the gazans so the gazans said enough is enough. you wants to have a blockade on us, the crossing blocks, our casualties or our ill people cannot travel. we cannot go to universities, it is an open air jail, 50,000-- 50,000 civil servants along with families that amount to quarter of a million people were deprived from the money had. that is w

president abbas met with one of the leaders of hamas in cairo just about an hour ago. and we are engaging all parties including our brothers in hamas in order to bring this situation and aggression against all people to an end. we need a cease-fire to be put in place. hamas negotiated through the egyptians the cease-fire of 2012. and what the egyptian propose now is similar and we hope that at the end of the day, that they also would accept this call by the egyptians. >> rose: what happens if the worst occurs if there's an invasion, an occupation of gaza? >> we hope that that does not happen. and my understanding i was told by some senior official just a few minutes ago that the u.n. asked for a number of hours if i'm not mistaken maybe six hours we hope it will be longer for an airing ground not to allow this tragic situation in the gaza strip to be compounded by additional number of people killed but i understand that four boys were killed today from one family. >> rose: on the beach. >> on the beach. and many familiar wes were killed in a large group. in this connec

. >> what do you do about abbas? he's been criticized that he hasn't broken the relationship with hamas. if you push too hard against hamas, is there a risk to abbas as well? >> i don't think there's a risk. when it comes to with the president abbas, we need to help the responsible numbers to have international community. you're quite right. president abbas condemned the kidnapping and that's a very good thing but at the same time he's in a government with the kidnappers. so you can't on the one hand condemn terrorism and make a nation with the terrorism. we hope the world will send a strong message to abbas that he will end this packet that he's had with hamas. had am hamas changed, it would be a different story. then you'd have a palestinian government united in peace. unfortunately we have a palestinian government that half of it is saying it's committed to peace. we hope in the wake of this action the world will send a clear message. we appreciate very much both of the comments president obama has made in condemn

you mentioned mahmoud abbas. what does it mean for the unit yip government. >> it's putting enormous pressure on the unity government. it always did. from the moment the three young israeli settlers wept missing binyamin netanyahu and israelis said across the israeli spectrum, they hold hamas responsible. as you pointed out, hamas never claimed responsibility for the kidnapping or killing of the three teenagers. no palestinianian group has claimed responsibility. although they are not claiming responsibility, the rhetoric is on hamas, but it's directly discussing the unity government. the israelis said again and again that this is the result of that unity government, that binyamin netanyahu holds responsible mahmoud abbas for going into a unity government with hamas, who israel see as a terrorist organization. so the unity government was going to be fragile. it's been together for a matter of weeks. between the two previous rivals, this puts fatah and the palestinianian authority in a difficult position. until it

there has been a proposal by the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas, and this has been quoted by the united nations, u.n. officials saying that mahmoud abbas suggested deploying palestinian authority troops along the fila dellify corridor, the route between gaza and egypt. which is a key palestinian demand by hamas. we don't know if hamas would accept a proposal, if it would accept having palestinian troops and forces along the border. >> okay. for the moment, thank you very much. live in jerusalem for us. if you are join us on al jazeera, we are continuing to monitor the situation if gaza with the live pictures. heavy plumes of smoke over the skies of gaza this sunday morning as israel's offensive on the palestinian territory intensifies. more than 40 people have been killed overnight, bringing the total death toll on the palestinian side to 398, i believe, assistance the conflict began, more than 12 days ago. earlier the we spoke to the director of operations for the u.n. relief agency. he described the situation for us. [ inaudible ] >> apologies for the quality of the audio, we'l

they put pressure on mahmoud abbas to choose between peace, or hamas. move towards hamas, as the second particular player within palestinian society was to bring west bank again. so basically trying to end the siege on gaza, and try to help people in gaza. the first test to this unity government was this operation against us. it's clear that the international community, israel and the united states in particular are not interested to work with the government. >> so far they are working with mahmoud abbas as a presidential authority. >> when he came, he met the prime minister. >> no one is interested in engaging with hamas. >> with the government or hamas. one of the reasons we see this kind of block before any kind of attempt to have ceasefire, because basically they won't speak with mahmoud abbas as a president, an authority or others. >> when you look at the pictures of what is happening in gaza, you can hear the artillery shells going off now. how does that end without negotiation of all the parties involved? >> it with will not succeed. we had all t

abbas, president abbas of the palestinian authority.is voice been in all this talk about a truce? there was that high-profile decision by abbas and hamas to sort of combine their political forces and negotiate as one, try to govern as one. where's abbas been over the last three or four days? >> reporter: well, that's what palestinians have been asking in gaza. he kept very quiet for the first two or three days, but then he spoke up. and when he did speak up, he said something palestinians in gaza did not want to hear. he said he was against fighting, against hamas' rocketing of israel. he called hamas, this is the palestinian president of all the palestinian people, he called hamas and called israel in the same phrase, he called them both traitors in war. by which he meant the fighting must stop. that's not what hamas wanted to hear. they wanted to hear more support from their president but he is a man who famously is against violence. he wants nonviolence. but now he's more involved. he's on his way to cairo and may well be in cairo al

he will continue to work with president abbas -- we will continue to work with president abbas and others in the region to achieve it. i can tell you that we have in the last 24 hours made some progress in moving towards that goal. fatah movement recently reconciled with hamas and abbas was unflinching in his condemnation of israeli actions. >> this is a war against palestinian people. this is not self-defense. this is a defense of settlement expansion, aggression, and blockade. met israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and talked for 2 hours. israel had agreed to an egyptian-brokered cease-fire last week, but american officials say a breakthrough is not yet on the current. -- not yet on the cards. >> the u.s. federal aviation administration is once again giving the green light to land in tel aviv. u.s. commercial flights can land at ben-gurion airport after a 24-hour ban imposed a day earlier. bywas met with applause hamas. several european airlines have extended cancellations through thursday. in just a few minutes we will be crossing over live to gaza city for more from our corresp

then to the nearby west bank and spoke with abbas. >> president abbas understands the road to the solutionand that's what we're working for. so we will continue to push for this ceasefire. we will continue to work with president abbas, and others in the region in order to achieve it. and i can tell you that we have in the last 24 hours, made some progress in moving towards that goal. >> as we say, it's a rather open-ended commitment, the schedule still very much up in the air for secretary kerry. we do know he will be heading back to cairo after this meeting. >> mike thank you very much. the un human rights council meeting in geneva today to discuss the crisis. suggesting that israel may be committing war crimes. >> it is imperative that israel, hamas, and all palestinian armed groups strictly abide by applicable norms of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, this entails applying the principles of distinction between civilians and combatants. respect of the right to life of civilians including children should be a foremost consideration. not abiding by these p

so let's talk first about mahmoud abbas. he's under a lot of pressure. you have people within israel calling for him to cut ties from hamas, to sever that government. what are you hearing from your sources in that region of the world in is that something he would consider? >> there is no fact established independently that hamas is directly involved with the condemnable acts of killing the israeli teenagers. if there is an investigation to conclude that hamas wants it both ways to be in the government and to commit such terrible acts, then there has to be accountability within the palestinian ranks. mahmoud abbas wanted to have more people, if you will, in order to lead. he didn't want to divide it all the way. he can't continue to be only the security arm of israel in the west bank. that is a problem. he has not been emboldened by the israelis to take confrontational steps with hamas and the likes. the more he gave, the more weak he got because he was not given anything back. he's under a lot of pressure. at one point, he threatened he may even dissolve

abbas wanted this cease-fire, he was desperate for the cease-fire, hamas won't listen.influence over hamas. there was a time assad used to have influence over hamas, he used to keep a marshal and give him safe haven. he is not a player, he kicked him out of there. who can talk to hamas? >> the egyptians can talk to hamas. actually turkey and qatar can talk to hamas. you need the egyptians. egypt controls the crossing points and that's why the egyptians should be involved with the united states, indirectly involved and directly involved. what happened recently is that the palestinians established a united government. there were no members of hamas in that cabinet. and that cabinet did not work effectively because the united states and the europeans and other arab states did not want to allow qatar and other states to pay the salaries of the civil servants in gaza because essentially this is a terrorist entity. that was a huge mistake. you have to empower moderate palestinians. the israelis say they want to isolate hamas. the only people who can isolate hamas politically

what would you like abbas to be doing right now?> president abbas should be working to advance peace with israel. >> do you feel like he is? >> i think he made a very big mistake three months ago because he reached out and forged an alliance with hamas, with this al qaeda organization. i don't think abbas should ever be in alliance with hamas. i hope when this is all said and done that one of the first things he will do is end the alliance he made with hamas and return to peace negotiations. >> so if he ends an alliance with hamas -- there's always been an issue with a peace deal. on one hand can you deal with abbas if he doesn't speak for all palestinians, particularly in gaza. at the same time, he made the calculation, well, i'll try to speak for everybody but that meant doing a deal for hamas. the democratically elected governing body of gaza. >> the nazis were democratically elected in germany so it doesn't mean anything. the issue is we had negotiations with abbas before he forged this alliance with hamas. what stopped the nego

abbas. is that unity working today? what role does mr. abbas play in all of this? they were successful. [indiscernible] tohallenge any government manage 1.8 million people in our circumstances. we havesuccessful but been short. the unity was to do with our rights. wanted for the unit sheet government. israel prevented it from sending the money. the gazans said enough is enough. it is an open air jail. 50,000 along with their families were deprived from the money from the settlement. that is why the turned into a time ticking bomb that blew in the face of israel. this is an outrage. these you kill us for netanyahu locks the age. why we do not have an airport, why are youu ask us surprised because of our resistance? what comes to him as our partner is our partner in reconciliation. >> you accept his leadership to negotiate with the israelis through secretary kerry and he can speak for hamas and hamas s his principles and values and is negotiating stance. abbas is our partner in authority and conciliation. when it comes to negotiations there are no negotiations anymor

. >> nothing concrete or significant, but president mahmoud abbas of the palestinian authority is alsoin qatar today and may be meeting today with the political chief of hamas, which is a significant step, a significant meeting and could yield something, there is increasing calls from the americans and the israelis to let president abbas kind of fix this and be, and get a grip on gaza, which is an interesting turn around from israel's position when abbas and hamas signed a reconciliation packet in april and basically israel has been calling on president abbas to cancel that packet ever since, but now maybe they are going to give him some berth to help resolve this conflict. >> joining us via skype, thanks so much. thank you. >> >> sreenivasan: as you just heard, there's been a sharp escalation of fighting in gaza with those 13 israeli soldiers and approximately 100 palestinians killed in clashes early today. since the conflict began, more than 400 palestinians have been killed. the white house said today secretary kerry is heading to egypt to try to broker a ceasefire. president obama

we have many other channels to communicate with president abbas. we want to make sure that he and other parties are using whatever means they have to get this crisis to de-escalate rather than escalate. >> i'm getting all the signals here from various, various sources that the israelis are going to move in on the ground. i assume you're getting those same signals. >> we've seen ind kags that they've made preparations for that. they've been open about it. nobody wants to see a ground invasion. they've been clear that's not their preference either. their preference is to see the rocket fire end. that's the correct way to begin the de-esculatory process. >> does the united states want the palestinian authority to sever its connection with hamas? >> the reconciliation agreement signed back in april was one that we thought was unwise, unhelpful and criticized it at the time. interim government was informed that does not include hamas membership or hamas individuals and it follows the president obama of president abbas, which is to support a two-state so

>> to the credit of mahmoud abbas, the president, when i said earlier that these kids were not settlers, it is true they lived in communities inside israel, but they worse eddying on the west bank, part of the religious community that is sort of the base of the settlement movement, and so the palestinians -- and the president in particular, they condemned the kidnapping and murder in absolute terms, so i do not necessarily think that israel really is are more shock or arab israelis are more shocked. there was another wrinkle here and that he had will american citizenship, and that brought the u.s. and in a bigger way and probably more attention to the issue. i think the crime was so shocking, just as the kidnapping of the three kids at the bus stop was so shocking. precisely where it happened doesn't have as much salience, but it is easier to relate to that, and people know where this happened. it is not a remote corner. these teenagers dying, and teenagers going to the street and doing all sorts of militant things. i think that has a lot of adults feeling like this situation is spinnin

abbas, not israel, that accepted hamas into the p.a.'s government, the burden should be on the p.a., not israel, to unequivocally condemn not only hamas but also their fellow terrorist groups, the islamic jihad and abbas' own al-axa martyrs brigade. the p.a. should not take for granted the limitless patience, not only of israel but also the united states. and indeed, any responsible members of the civilized world for the legitimatization of these terrorist groups. while p.a. harbors hamas, islamic jihad, the al-axa martyrs brigade or any other terrorist group and supports their vicious activities, it should forfeit its position as a legitimate negotiating partner with israel. it is the height of delusion to suggest that israel should accommodate the palestinian authority with any further security concessions until this activity stops. while the p.a. harbors hamas islamic jihad, the al-axa martyrs brigade or any other terrorist groups and supports their vicious activities, if it should forfeit any and all materiel support from the taxpaye

was moving away from some long-held ideological believes. >> now, mahmoud abbas, as martin atyk said,t his age, look all that i have done, this is what i get -- >> right. >> nine yahoo!, his poll numbers are not good. the sharks in israel are circling. have a jeffrey goldberg, view where two years from now you have a different palestinian they managed to withthe reconciliation hamas, that there is a peacemaking partner on the other side? any -- as you see, i am sort of struggling for glimmers of hope. oh, different players. >> because you are american. >> exactly. they can do it, one or two years in? >> this is the problem, and perhaps we will look back on this year as a tragic year for the following reason. president obama, i interviewed him on the peace process a few months ago, and one of the things that stuck in my mind, mahmoud abbas coming is sort of talking to israelis when he does this and said that mahmoud abbas is one of the most moderate leaders you're going to get, and i think that might be true. the problem on the other side is this. men yahoo! is the only politician in i

abbas has criticized hamas. there are financially strapped.t are the internal dynamics of the palestinians? >> it is a very interesting situation. we could date the current crisis back to when mahmoud abbas decided to form a government of national unity with hamas, which the u.s., the european union and israel consider a terrorist organization. that was the final nail in the coffin for peace talks. things have gone from bad to worse since then. abbas has been criticizing israel's attacks in gaza as well. he took the unprecedented step of going on palestinian television and actually criticizing hamas, saying why are you firing these missiles? what do you hope to achieve? the implication being that all that they are achieving is israeli retaliation, airstrikes, and the death of many innocent palestinians. they are still in a national unity government, but how long that will last we don't know. >> thank you very much. let me turn to ramesh and margaret. look at the polls for 2016. invincible?linton >> i think she has had a pretty rocky start if y

abbas has been criticizing israel's attacks in gaza as well.took the unprecedented step of going on palestinian television and actually criticizing hamas, saying why are you firing these missiles? what do you hope to achieve? the implication being that all that hamas is achieving is israeli retaliation, airstrikes, and the death of many innocent palestinian civilians. they are still in a national unity government, but how long that will last we don't know. >> all right, elliott gotkine, thank you very much. let me turn to ramesh and margaret. is hillary clinton invincible? >> i think she has had a pretty rocky start if you consider this book of hers and the tour to be her start for 2016. i don't think that the plan was for her numbers to drop during the book tour, but they have. i don't think the plan was for there to beat a series of gaffes that have captured headlines. which they have. with the dead rope and all the rest. she is going to be a strong candidate. i don't think anyone underestimates her. certainly, her opponents to not underestim

. >> let's look at a comment by a palestinian advisers to mahmoud abbas. >> mahmoud abbas has come to terms with hamas, that they are accepting a two-state solution. they are before quiet, a long-term quietness. all while this conflict is really to achieve peace. >> interesting point to make here. this is an adviser to mahmoud abbas. we're not 100% certain that mahmoud abbas speaks on behalf of hamas. but a two-state solution, saying that this is a possible, do you think that's true? could you think hamas buys that? a community who says they don't want to recognize israel as having a right to exist? they believe that? >> well, there are major divisions between abbas and hamas. they seem to be in better communication right now during this cry sus but they haven't reached agreement on terms. a two-state solution is the only solution that will work but hamas has made no effort to agree to any of the terms that would support a two-state solution. so i don't see that as viable. i don't see the comments as really genuine at this point. >> i'm curious, from your time in iraq, david, you've s

abbas. >> well i don't speak on behalf of mr. abbas. still i think what we need is unity of all palestinians. i think what we need is solidarity. >> what is being done to foster that? what is being done to foster that? as an example for instance what we're seeing right now. if you look at local television, on tv where you are now, they're showing. if you go to gaza, they're showing live coverage of the air attacks. >> more than that. even more criticism of the behavior of the palestinian official during attacks on people. this is angering allel palestinians including young people. this is additional proof we need leadership in touch with people, following what's happening to palestinian population. most of all what we need immediately is that they should immediately restrain the israeli army and government. they're leading the place into a big explosion. the people who suffer most from this explosion are palestinians. those are losing their lives including the children that are killed by israeli tourists and israeli army. just remember,

sitting there and george mitchell sitting there and i know that abbas in my conversations was willingtertain a number of years where there could be some continuing security. remember, the idf, the israeli defense forces, have a working relationship with the palestinian authority security forces which have been incredibly professional. we've helped to provide training, as has jordan and others, and the positions that netanyahu has taken. now once they take a position -- and i know the years that abbas has said are permitted and i know the years that bebe has demanded -- you're in a negotiation. but if there is no process going on, which is why we can't ever leave the vacuum of no process, despite how incredibly frustrating it is -- then of course abbas is going to say never, not under any circumstances and bebe is going to say absolutely forever. >> in 2009 you said that you wanted israeli settlement activity to stop. in fact you were pretty blunt. you said no exceptions. you write in the book that that was a tactical mistake because it made bebe netanyahu get even more hard-line. but

abbas. is that unity working today? does mr. abbas play in all of this?> it used to suffer, it's management to gaza was everyially waste amounted single -- we essentially surmounted every single challenge. but indeed insful the last few months we were short of paying the servants. do with a rise in israel. not want to pull the strings of government. we wanted for the unity government. when it happened israel prevented it from sending the transaction. they said you want to have a blockade on us. we cannot go to university. it is an open-air jail. civil servants along with the family -- families were deprived from the model -- money from the settlement. this is why gaza turned into a time ticking bomb that blew in the face of israel. this is actually an outrage. this is a manifestation of outrage. why do you kill us for these election calculations but blocks the crossings. why we do not have an airport, how could you ask us why are you surprised because of our resistance? we resist and we do not transgress. he is our partner in conciliation. >> you accept h

the palestinian authority led by mahmoud abbas today called for a 24-hour truce that could be extended for up to 24 hours. but quickly said hamas has rejected the proposal. another spokesman says hamas is open to sending a palestinian delegation to egypt. a senior israeli official tells cnn israel is prepared for a cease-fire, but nothing firm has been agreed upon. a strike today hit gaza's only power plant. hamas television says the house of a senior political leader was also hit. and a radio station run by hamas was also bombed. medical officials in gaza now say more than 1,100 palestinians have been killed. 53 israeli soldiers and three israeli civilians have died. in a news conference, the secretary of state of the united states, john kerry, talked about preventing civilian deaths and he brushed aside criticism of his diplomatic efforts. >> this is not about me. this is business really and israel's right to defend itself and our strong support for israel's right to defend itself. but about whether or not there is a way forward that could avoid the loss of soldiers for israel and th

in early june, as palestinian president abbas swore in and the government, joining hamas after yearsconflict, state department spokesperson jen psaki said the obama administration would recognize this new government. >> it appears president abbas has formed an interim technocratic government that does not include ministers affiliated with hamas. moving forward, we will be judging the government by its actions, based on what we know now, we intend to work with us government that we will be watching closely to ensure it upholds the principles the president abbas reiterated today. >> nathan thrall, can you talk about how israel reacted to this decision and then what the was subsequently did in terms of its commitment to recognizing the unity government? >> sure. the step the u.s. took was supposed by israel and it has to be said that the reason -- one of the main reasons the u.s. actually took this extraordinary step of recognizing this unity government was, first of all, their frustration with israel during the kerry-led peace possible so if that had not happened and it had received an

the unity agreement with mahmoud abbas created a more radicalized hamas. mahmoud abbas understood that maybe the international community didn't care about its violent nature. >> quickly, where does this end? what is israel's exit strategy? under what terms will it accept an accuracy fire? >> first and forecoast, the rocket launches against israeli civilians must come to an end. can you imagine if out of yemen they fire for saudi arabia, flattening the holy cities with rockets. we had hamas rockets fired at jerz. somewhere the -- jerusalem. where is the respect for faith. there is none. we expect the rocket fire to end. we will not allow tours be in a position where three months from now ham a because it has a grievance, will start firing rockets again, and iranian weapons come into the mediterranean. this will not occur. >> dori gold, senior foreign policy sizor to the is -- advisor to the israeli prime minister, thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >>> now, a landslide brought on by alternative foon -- typhoon n, ogure killed a 12-year-old boy. the r

it will be a joint delegation composed by president abbas, headed by my colleague, jihad and others.these 72 hours will constitute the disconnection process on both sides in order to reach a permanent cease-fire and we will see to it that the humanitarian needs, power station, water, shelter, whatever the 1.8 palestinians living without electricity, without water, medical supplies and we can begin a long, long, long process. that's the beginning of the end. it's a difficult road. it's a bumpy road. i am hoping against hope that we can do every possible effort with the help of everyone out there in order to ensure that we can reach a permanent cease-fire. >> so i understand you've met today with the political leader of hamas where you are. he gave you assurances that hamas is on board, is that right saeb erekat? >> that's correct. i met with him for almost three hours and then he was meeting with the foreign minister of qatar for many, many hours. nothing could have been announced by secretary kerry or secretary-general ban ki-moon without the full -- without them being on board. yes,

head probably tonight to cairo, an egyptian led diplomacy from the united states trying to draw in abbas, the pal sinnian authority leader into a cease-fire process is the game. we have seen an interesting process of evolving war goals and at the very start of this operation they talked about an extended period of quiet. they just wanted the missiles to stop. then they began talking about closing off the tunnels, which are being used to attack israeli forces and that is more aggressive cry for ground forces and now talk about disarmament and that is an ambitious goal and if you true try to get that by military force you in a nightmare, like invading lebanon, i don't think the israeli wants to do that, i had my eyes on a process going forward, secretary kerry will start with the egyptians that will try to create a political foundation for the palestinian authority to begin to get a new government in place in gaza that

president abbas and the fatah faction support a two-state solution to the situation, palestinian and jewish state living side by side in peace. but until in my opinion you have hamas understanding that israel has the right to exist, i think it's going to be very difficult. and unfortunately, it's the civilians on both sides who suffer. i mean it's innocent people who suffer. but you know what fatah does is they say that they're going to speak and talk to israel and negotiate. what hamas says is they want to destroy israel and is very, very difficult to get peace when one entity in its charter has the destruction of the other state. >> do you believe that prime minister netanyahu believes as you do in a two-state solution, israel and a palestinian stateside by side with mutually agreed upon security agreements. >> well he told me does and president abbas told me does. this whole thing is just a pity. israel withdrew from gaza several years ago and was hoping in return it would get some overtures of some peace. instead what it got is trowrt attacks on -- terrorist attacks on its citize
