the palestinian people and achieving their freedom and independence and israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu held mubarak as a great leader correspond jamal shell has covered egypt extensively explains why mubarak was significant for the region. the hour brawl in the context of whilst it is so divided it is actually united in many respects in the way that it is ruled it is ruled by a group of authours tamia in an autocratic rulers that ultimately have similar interests in maintaining the status quo and that's why for example there is that support for that came for the coup in egypt from different regional countries who may not necessarily agree ideologically or politically with certain trends within the egyptian regime but know that they want to maintain it so you will get that support for benjamin netanyahu obviously and the israeli government were extremely grateful and then that's a true the policies of hosni mubarak not least in being able to establish that stranglehold over gaza and imposing the blockade which was essentially starving more than one and a half 1000000 palestini

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has pledged to annex every israeli settlement in the occupied west bank he's hoping to use this to win voters over as the country heads into its 3rd election in less than a year. in the last week of the israeli election campaign a visual reminder to voters of prime minister benjamin netanyahu has pledged to annex every illegal israeli settlement in the occupied west bank what you guys really do. remember. who was joined by u.s. ambassador david friedman and the rest of the joint american israeli committee he chairs mapping out exactly where the trump white house would recognize permanent israeli sovereignty i mean for you to get the mapping is on its way in order to allow the imposing of the israeli law on these territories and later getting american recognition nonetheless it isn't quite what netanyahu promised in washington a month ago he said he'd begin annexation before the election then the white house put the brakes on it's complicated his bid for supporters of the far right parties in places like efrat illegal settlement in bethlehem the

well the word from israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is pretty celebrator e he says that they've agreed to start a cooperation that will lead towards a normalization of relations between sudan and israel and he calls that history it is part of a wider strategy both in africa and in the middle east to try to get friendly relations going with majority muslim and arab nations in the region and of course it comes very soon after the trump plan which was released last week which attracted at least not immediate arab state condemnation of course there was a rejection of that plan at the weekend and so there has been a slowing down of the provisions in that plan for potential annexation of the occupied west bank something that doesn't know how to hope to start moving on and this past weekend so it is about time given the fact that he's in the midst of an election campaign for another major foreign policy announcement of this one serves netanyahu very well it also serves sudan to some extent that the leader of sudan's been invited to washington so there's a recommendation from israel. as
