but you are an arab going into an arab country and you were talking about the uniformity of the arabasy, done—over subject in comedy. it is a simple scapegoat. you take a certain person and you talk about what they do wrong. it is much more difficult to talk about the society that is allowing these people to be in power, that is allowing this kind of behaviour to continue and i deal with the society... you are giving a very elaborate answer to basically the fact that you can't say what you want to say in certain countries in the arab world, like saudi arabia... (crosstalk). ..because you would be arrested. no, i do not care about being arrested. i did the first show ever in saudi arabia stand—up comedy, i did 14 illegal showsjeddah, riyadh, before the legal thing happened, i helped bring that legal... happened, i helped bring that legal... there was a fatwa issued against you. when i did the legal show, there was a fatwa against me. the reason that i do play by those rules is, as i continued to slowly push the envelope with every show that i do, i have a responsibility towards the cr

have chosen peace the arabs have peace initiative the arab have extended their hands towards achieving that beast still. is willing to achieve peace and to get all of the legitimate rights according to the international legitimacy and to get rid of the. ways that want to create thrifts in this regard and now we have to be fair enough to our region and to the world and we have to fair all kinds and shapes of responsibilities. of terrorism and all shapes and kinds of extremism and we need to put high on the agenda the ethics that we all know about how terrorism is the threat now to the national state of the national country in our region we have to work hard we need not to waste time we have to get the riot approach to fire terrorism according to the resolutions of the arab league and on top of this the decision to develop the arab organization to fire terrorism adopted in the last hour of some of. these these will never be successful with our movement to renew the religious discourse to reflect the real tolerance of our religion and away from any thoughts that again is completely agains

you being here in tunisia that chair the arab league the arab summit that will be the best. way to meet and talk and discuss topic. as she is black of the same time to express my thanks and appreciation to the custodian of the two mosques king solomon the bin abdulaziz so would for his successful chairmanship for his wife term and of the arab summit of the twenty ninth arab summit the kingdom of saudi arabia has made a lot of efforts and we appreciate that for the sake of the arab goes this and arab issue is in that critical period of time that nation is facing at the same time i'd like to thank his excellency mr ahmed doubleday the secretary general of the arab league for.

arab league you know. there are security defense economic and cultural agreements collecting ducts and the arab league shelves in cairo why because the arab league's are not readers are able to follow through. on what will it take do you think to change the situation democratization freedom of our people it mean this is exactly what the out of a upheavals uprisings revolutions were about in two thousand and eleven that in order for arab leaders to be responsible for the collective will of the arab people they need to be first and foremost responsible for the collective will of their own people to be a representative of the will of the people but when they're all only one sole preoccupation is the sort of viable of their i think democratic existence it's very hard to see how they can reach a common understanding my mind thank you very much for your analysis is all it's not a one shot. now one of algeria's richest men and a close backer of president of the lizzie's with a frica has been arrested at the tunas

from arab leaders he seemed to be talking the talk but will they walk the walk.well actually it's worse than that it seems that behind the scenes my understanding is that they don't seem to agree on how to approach or how to accept or not accept the deal of the century the initiative that's coming from from and mistress because of the division some would like to embrace whatever comes out of washington something to take and build on others rejected a totally as unacceptable because it doesn't include the basics of a solution for the palestinian issue and hence they decided instead of addressing the question of the american initiative that's coming up for them to be talking about generalities regarding the policy in issues still talking about the need for a palestinian state east jerusalem as its capital and souls of course now i want you to listen to this sound bite from the arab league secretary general marwan. gade who said the region must wear together to solve its problems take a listen. his show you know when yemen or libya our people are suffering in syria

arab leaders arrive into nation's capital for the thirtieth arab league summit with events in israel and palestine at the top a very. old story this hour ukraine's president hopes to retain power in sunday's election by fighting off challenges from a former prime minister and a comedian and i'm really hard in here with all of your sport there's no fourth match play title for tiger this year as woods is knocked out of the w.j.c. event in texas. thank you for joining as the two main border crossings into gaza open again for the first time in six days israel rifted restrictions on sunday morning after a weekend of mass protests along the fence dividing gaza and israel for palestinian protesters were killed and two hundred forty others injured during the demonstrations let's speak to john june in gaza for us mohammed they had been concerns that saturday's demonstrations would escalate tensions tell us first about the mood in gaza today after yesterday's protests. folley the one here today is really cautiously optimistic and one of the reasons for that is basically what you just said yest

world itself really is that responsibility of its members the arab world to the arab league to the is weak because its members are not taking up their responsibilities seriously if you go out to the arab league. quarters in cairo all kinds of wonderful documents are collecting dust common defense common economic policy coverage i think that the summit is happening in tunis and not cairo what i thought surely changes every year and right they had quarters happens in so last year it was in saudi arabia they before in egypt and a few years ago was in qatar it's sometimes it does not take place in a place for example like libya or like amount of one point because countries ask for it but also who shows up it's really important isn't it absolutely it was interesting to note that the sodium or not showed up two days before and usually they show up in the same morning and leave in the afternoon they were even stay over night but i think the saudi arabia is trying to get closer to two and it's maybe used to mrs economic crisis in order to buy more influence within the country as we said earli

a senior official in the united arab emirates says that arab countries should be more open to israel god gosh the minister of state for foreign affairs said they were wrong when they decided not to take a formal relations with israel al-jazeera senior political analyst bashara has more on his comments a number of arab countries have been opening up publicly or clandestinely towards israel and we have been waiting for the likes of the saudi arabia not to cough it up as you know and just say it now with the minister of state for foreign affairs in the united arab emirates have done exactly that and why is he doing that now well because it's just a few weeks ago president trump's son and lo jack question are was in the area in order to sell his deal of a century or you know it's now we all know that this is the trap of the century and the deal of the century and yet a number of arab leaders feel they must appease the united states they must accept american dick that in order to. save their own regimes in order to empower their own and their likes in the region that's why now president s

it is in the arabic language. it remained like that because it was the miraculous book that mohamed can prove his prophet hood. no other translation considered to be koran. any language, english, we have over 30 translations in english. yet none of them is the koran, it is a translation of the meaning of the koran. koran that we- use is centered in the arabic language and we are the universal message, so we don't belong to arabs or to america, we belong to all. in fact, the arabs are a minority in the muslim world. they are only 20% of the muslim population. therefore, anyone who wants to become an imam come at once to -- or become a leader for a muslim group needs to learn arabic and he needs to respect the koran accurately the way it was revealed to muhammad. when it comes to spelling names and the koran or the book of god, you will see that under the occupation, there has been a shift of meanings. british and french, they altered the names. they say islam, moslem and this is offensive to us. the correct pronunc

words there from the palestinian president but that's not the end of the message coming out from the arab league summit they've also begun to issue a draw a communique a final communique that'll involved iran as well there's very strong words to iran saying that they needed to stop meddling in the affairs of the arab world they need to remove their militias from arab countries also there will be a mention of a syria a separate state went actually when it comes to the occupied golan heights now that's unusual for the arab summit to issue a separate statement on something like this but clearly it's something that they feel very strongly about the bend not going to change their language they do not recognize the fact that the u.s. has recognized the golan heights as being israeli territory they say it's still occupied territory and ron thank you very much for that for now that's a non-con. live and tune as well we are going to get more on this we're joined by al-jazeera senior political analyst shabda as enron's been saying my van it is a very strong message on palestine but do you expect th

but it's not the fault of the arab league and this has to be made clear the arab league is a solution is not a problem the problem with the arab league is the members not the institution just like the united nations the united nations succeeds when its members commit to its charter the arab league would succeed if it's when its members commit to its charter unfortunately the problem in the arab world to the is not this institution it is it's leaderless right very interesting about this as always thank you so much for joining us on the news hour. three prominent human activists in saudi arabia have been released from jail they spent ten months in prison and went where freed after the second hearing of their child which is still going on they are among eleven women activists who say they've been abused behind bars for promoting human rights culture lopez hey on reports. a taste of freedom that may be short lived the saudi activist are among eleven women who were arrested in may for campaigning for human rights they've been temporarily released after their second court hearing but their

to arabs or to to all. we belong in fact, the arabs are a minority in the muslim world. they are only 20% of the muslim population. therefore, anyone who wants to become an imam come at once to become a leader for a muslim andp needs to learn arabic he needs to respect the koran accurately the way it was revealed to muhammad. namest comes to spelling in the koran or the book of god, you will see that under the occupation, there has been a shift of meanings. british and french, they altered the names. moslemy islam, and this is offensive to us. the correct pronunciation would lim.slam and mus they spelled the koran with a k. qur'an.ld be with a q, the message of the koran is there, as a text. but each community comes and they develop some kind of an ideology that fit their interests, for their hopes. qur'an to fithe their agenda. i will say recently, like in the early 1980's, there was an attack on afghanistan from russia. c.i.a. and other entities came and develop something called isis -- not isis, al qaeda

world that basically in the arab cruisin you know the arab psyche their leaders and all the others are not actually having the might and the capacity to stand up to israel and that fuels all that extremism and so i think that on the long term it's not actually leading to a just and sustainable solution including for the israelis. on that front just a sustainable solution and also a peaceful solution in response to this is you'll know syria has vowed to recover the area through all available means russia has warned the decree could drive a new wave of tensions in the middle east region turkey said it's impossible to accept the united states decree how is this good for peace in the region. well first of all the syrian protests in syria and threats of violence should be taken with a grain of salt because syria has for the past fifty two years constantly been attacking israel iran the syria's real power and control has been trying to open up a northern thrown against israel for decades so it's not just syria all of a sudden is upset with israel the syrian threat has been there from the beg

the head of the arab league has rejected the u.s. decision to recognize israel's claim over the occupied golan heights and also called for political solutions to conflicts in syria libya and yemen his comments came at a meeting of regional foreign ministers ahead of sunday's thirtieth arab summit meeting. the arabs refuse the occupation to be given names other than occupation nor the occupation force to be given legitimacy we say it loud and clear the golan is an occupied arab syrian territory as per the international law and the un s.c. resolutions any unilateral declaration of sovereignty over the golan by any state is in conflict with this fact and will not change the true reality but we're joined now by al jazeera senior political analyst and surprisingly the arab league rejecting donald trump's recognition of the occupied golan heights as israeli territory but does that put any pressure on israel or the us will change the situation what we do have a precedent which is the arab league's position on the united states recognizing j

they're going to use the arabs which is really sort of a racist comment because there's a one point two million arab citizens in israel and if you're saying they can't be part of the government that's really not the right thing to say in a democracy and he's been saying that so he's scaring the people that might consider going to guts and lobbied by saying the only way they're getting into is a with those israeli arabs and we know those israeli arabs they don't have our best of interests at heart so again there's a reason he passed the nation state law a few months ago it's successful very successful among most israelis but specifically among the likud voters and everyone on the right and he's going to play on those themes up to the election and all he wants is the block right now so you'll see the extent that people are they going to buy into that and overlook the fact that this case is going to be hanging over him if he wins this election it's going to be hanging in the best part of this year we don't know when the indictment if it actually happens will take place but it's going t

to the tune is in that unity in the they will then speak and then we'll hear from gates who is the arab league general secretary but off that we don't know what the speakers will be and we are expecting for example king ability of jordan who's here to be speaking also the q. eighty leaders also expecting. president. of egypt to speak as well we don't know what order they'll be in but we do know the high on the agenda as you've said is israel and palestine particularly emphasizing the palestinian cause they say that the arab identity of occupied east jerusalem the capital of the state of palestine should be recognized they're also stressing that the unilateral u.s. decision regarding the occupied golan heights needs to be. to be declared sorry null and void as it sees the recognition of jerusalem being the capital of israel so there's a lot of work on the israeli palestinian conflict that we expect to see we're also going to see a very strong statement when it comes to iran already the draft communique that we have received suggests that the wooding might be something like rejecting any

the arab league is divided the arab leaders are divided on most of the important issues facing the arab world on the question of israel palestine and israel and syria and american decisions they were probably be in agreement but it totally at least meaning there's already we've heard enough declinations from a number of arab leaders important ones or not so important ones to know that the arab league final communique will probably say something about the call on syria and it's not israeli is jerusalem must be the captain of the next or the future of a sinister than that of israel the question is is that an agreement on what to do next no i don't think so and that's what's important in the end of the day you can always take a position but it will be symbolic unless there's some action to be taken afterwards but also it's interesting is that because we have this kind of background noise going on about dialogue with israel absolutely the u a e a minister of foreign affairs have stated that he regrets that the arabs are not in communication with israel although a good number of states ought

jewish villages were built in place of arab villages. you did not even know the names and i do not blame you because the geography no longer exists. not only do the books not exist but the arab villages are not there either. this is one place, there is not one place built in this country that did not have a former arab population. then there are the settlements. the bottom line is until israel dismantles it's settlements and returns the land to the rightful palestinian ownership then it is in violation of international law and impeding the peace. the idea that the palestinians are going to lay down and accept any sort of solution while massive, massive numbers of israeli citizens, upwards of 500,000 are living in these settlements, it's fantasy. these people are not going to quit. that's not how insurgencies end historically. >> the brutal blockade of gaza -- the brutal blockade of gaza is enormously cruel. to demonstrate the cruelty and premeditation of this blockade let us consider that a prominent israeli governing official actually t

or in terms you know in forms of packages in two thousand and twelve for instance in answer to the arab spring by dispensing political reforms that by allowing for instance twenty one a new political parties to register and it has also a very important economic resources so it was capable to buy social peace today the region doesn't have the mean to buy social peace any more so on the economic front it is incapable of buying social peace and on the political front to the region seems adamant about keeping beautifully but again the question is why they are so adamant this is almost a ridiculous situation i would say iran is ridiculous why why why because this has to be. found sorry within the nature of the region the algerian region is a very complex and crude. it is you know composed by difference and circles of power and decision circles you know you have the f.l.n. up my cheek you have the bureaucracy you have the military that are very powerful in the mid it to me are not governing but they are ruling and all and of course you have the business tycoons and all of these different circ
