the conference held at the moment in bahrain is a political conference with an economic coverup it is totally a political event with the financial and economic camouflage simply for the reason that this conference and the deal called the deal of the century is aimed at achieving the following 1st to lay the foundation for terminating the palestinian cause 2nd giving the green light to the zionist enemy to extend its occupation and control over the entire west bank. well day 2 of the conference is now underway on the head of the international monetary fund says any solution must focus on creating jobs for palestinians. what is high and awfully would be low is unemployment where we have 30 percent unemployment in the west bank and about 50 percent unemployment in gaza and the background of that which i think is critical for what the plan is pursuing is the working population you have a very very. quickly growing population about 5 millions at the moment between the 2. territories probably going to double from 5 to 10 millions in 2050 that's the estimate and in 203060 percent of the popu

but the palestinian president has expressed in terms of the rejection to the bahrain summit echoes the folds of every palestinian in the diaspora we stand behind the palestinian national leadership and its decisions we say no to the deal of the century palestine will not be sold we cling to our right to return to palestine we cling to the land of our ancestors this is our right to the end of time. the deal of the century is not new for the palestinians our fight to continue whether they agree or not we don't care about what's happening we have men and refugees in europe and all around the world and they will never let go of palestine everything that's happening now is nonsense our weapons are pointed at the zionist enemy and palestinians feel the united states is not an honest broker and they believe that its alliance with israel means that any settlement that they propose will be tilted in favor of the israelis and the question they ask here is that if they care so much about our economic conditions that. siege on gaza and why did the us administration decide to cut funding to the uni

well just before flying to the conference in bahrain senior white house adviser jared kush there spoke to al-jazeera he spearheaded the so-called deal the sentry and says he's confident it will be a success so i think it's already been a success in the sense that we have every country coming from the region we have a lot of countries coming from throughout the world despite people who tried to get them not to come they're all coming and that's a very big 1st step the 2nd step is that we've been able to get some of the top investors and people from throughout the world to come who are showing interest in helping the palestinian people in the region right now with a lot of investment funds that won't invest in the middle east because it's not stable they don't have peace they don't have security and so we want to show people that there is a great potential a great future for this region if it's possible. still to come in this half hour they fled s. think violence between herders and farmers now people in central mali are struggling to feed themselves and why laws stargazing mexico's powe

well as the conference in bahrain got underway the u.n. agency responsible for palestinian refugees was asking for more than a $1000000000.00 at its annual pledging conference in new york donors pledged just over 110000000 and the agency is warning it's not enough to alleviate a crisis caused by the u.s. cutting its funding last year i think the situation is extremely precarious when you think of a 1000000 people possibly not receiving food assistance in gaza in addition to all of the other hardships that they face it's something that nobody should even contemplate allowing to happen she has returned from the u.n. . after the trumpet ministration cut off all funding for the un relief and works agency $42.00 countries stepped up and increased their share of funding in order to make up the shortfall this meeting in part is to remind and should be those donors to ensure that funding continues in 2019 what's fascinating about the timing of this is it does happen on the same day as gerard cushion his workshop in bahrain for the financial aspect

middle east peace plan in bahrain. palestinians are acceptance of what he calls the opportunity of the century is a precondition for peace. the palestinians oppose the plan saying it does not include a political solution to the conflict the leadership has called for mass protests and they are boycotting the barring down on a city and so refused to talk to the u.s. since it recognized jerusalem as israel's capital. and ultra president to veto new legislation aimed at addressing the surgery numbers of asylum seekers coming across the mexican border the house of representatives approved a $4500000000.00 aid package which includes new standards for migrants in custody. now the u.s. acting defense secretary has traveled to brussels to shore up international support for the new sanctions imposed on iran senior leadership he says the u.s. wants to negotiate i want to assure them that we are not seeking topic but the iran united states is not going to go to iran rather we want to get into a diplomatic and i think my discussion
