so there was no such thing as a jihadi in the arab world. i'll talk about saudi but forget the other side. this is a country where christians were ambassadors. not one, there were many, were people were coming. that is what happened. then going back to what you said about the judiciary and all, yes, there is a counsel. it is working. there are elections. there are a few things they rejected. and as you said, the government stepped in. there was a law that was a bit anti-woman. and when the government -- and the government stepped in and said, no, this should be this. the harassment law, these kinds of laws. i truly believe -- i have no other option. i was in a 747 as a pilot. we as passengers have to tell the pilot what to do so we cannot complain. there are many things that need to be done. i agree with you, we would like to have so many things. but you don't have a magic wand everywhere around the world. you don't have that. so the extremist idealogy is slowly in the background. ten years, as the gentleman said, yes, it was there. we knew

we express our appreciation to our arab brethren in particular the fraternal arab republic of egypt for the efforts undertaken to end this division hoping that they will be rendered successful. we made an agreement with the sponsorship with an egyptian sponsorship on the twelfth of october and the agreement is so simple the palestinian government will carry out its responsibilities in gaza and in the west bank. and then we will build our estate on the basis of. unified law unified or thorough unified rejean and only one single ledge dement armed forces we reject the idea of militias however this agreement has not been accepted and so far it has not been approved. and. maybe in the. coming few days will witness the last trial and of talks and then maybe we will take another action. ladies and gentlemen i want to conclude as follows the palestinian people thirteen million human beings. unless we are not viewed as human beings by some. but. we are not redundant. not withstanding how big a population is it's not redundant. why are we treated as redundant people that should be got rid of. th
