mr barghouti thank you very much for being with us dr erekat passionately advocated for an independent honest indian state for decades how big of a lost is this for palestinians and what will you remember hans. when fessor her alone so sad they have ruined us it's a sad day for this family it's a sad day for palestine. we lost bill clinton who lost 5 out for the palestinian cause. and their colleagues are actually in fear into other structures. i believe very his dream for achieving. 2 state solution not to be a function because this policy and because of their unfortunate united states support to these israeli forces and that's why are you that they could not be for a friend but he would be harmed but he has been active in palestinian struggle since he was a young student and he continued when you was a teacher in niger and aversive then when he was part of his youth and funcinpec and actively and 2nd the 1st intifada then and there palestinian negotiating team in madrid. he was very current for everybody he was you have to chip with all groups that are part of this of political. and

barghouti for being with us. so michael says b.d.s. is anti semitic. what's your response? it's quite ironic, really that such a career. a cyst, you're said ministration. that's a part in this really crimes against the palestinian people. and that is empowering white supremacists and that the semites, including christian zionists, and others, would dare to smear human rights movement led by palestinians and calling for justice for the entire palestinian people as and this and that many jewish groups and jewish intellectuals have come out against this revisionist, fraudulent attempt, by the far right israeli regime of apartheid and occupation. and it's us funder sponsor and perpetrator to revise the definition of the semitism to include cold's for boycotting, divesting from, and sanctioning israel to end its regime of occupation and oppression and apartheid against palestinians. conflating anti jewish racism with anti israel. their human rights actions is absolutely fraudulent and hypocritical, especially from such a racist administration miso. mr. barghouti, some of your su

we've had the head of the armed forces, mohamed barghouti say that elements linked to the zionist regime are responsible, and we've had the advisor defense advisor to the supreme leader, ayatollah khomeini promised that there will be an attack on those perpetrators. the words assassinated around $230.00. we are told today and it was there was a explosion in those exchange of gunfire between his guards and these unnamed assailants . he was injured in the explosion and gunfire. we understand. he was flown to a hospital on helicopter. medics tried to save him, were unable to do so. the defense ministry said that he was the head of research and development at the ministry. and they gave their condolences to the supreme leader, ayatollah khomeini, and the nation. now he had had previous assassination attempts on him before at the height of assassinations of nuclear scientists in the country. but when the news came through, this will be a shock for the area. this is one of the most senior nuclear scientists and individuals that was a part of the missile program. and presumably that's why he ha

here's plo member dr mustafa barghouti. does not lose any opportunity to make himself and his administration participant in a war crime. the crime of annexing occupied territories, the crime of building illegal settlements on occupied territories. these visits are unacceptable. they are provocative. whether to settlements which will become part of the state in the west bank, or to the golan heights, which we re bank, or to the golan heights, which were illegally annexed by israel. in my opinion, pompeo is running a very provocative policy, and they are trying to create difficulties for mr biden and his administration to stop they are trying to create as much as possible what they think could become a reversible fact on the ground, that will destroy the potential and possibility of two state solution and peace in the region. might pompeo arrived in israel on wednesday, in what many people consider his last trip before leaving office next year. palestinians called him an unwelcome visitor. this was the scene on the west bank.

barghouti. thanks very much, sir, for joining us from ramallah. thank you. iran's foreign minister says tehran is ready to fully return to its commitments under the 2050 nuclear deal if the us president elect joe biden lift sanctions. so it's a relief told iranian media that biden could swiftly lift sanctions by signing 3 executive orders. he also says tehran is ready to discuss a u.s. return to the landmark accord, which donald trump withdrew from 2 years ago. you can join me in one thing can be done automatically. america will implement its commitments as part of the u.n. security council resolution. and we would fulfill our commitments in the j.c. . this needs no negotiation or conditions, and it's feasible. i gather is to get mr. biden becomes president he'd be capable of lifting all sanctions. if he doesn't, it means he doesn't want to be told from perth fired his chief of cyber security. just days after he rejected the president's claims of electoral fraud, chris krebs and his agency are responsible for election security. he said the poll was the most
