west bank which makes a future palestinian state nearly impossible last year prime minister benjamin netanyahu unveiled his plan to unilaterally declare israel's sovereignty over these settlements built on occupied land it also included the most fertile parts of the occupied west bank known as the jordan valley in a radical shift from previous u.s. policies president donald trump in january proposed that america will recognize israeli settlements as part of his middle east peace plan let's bring in our visitors harry force of his life for us now in west jerusalem it would seem that it's israel the united states versus the rest of this world on this issue of the annexation of the occupied west bank harry. that's largely that of how it seems yes i mean given the fact that there was such unity in a lot of the language that was being used to criticize the potential annexation to try to prevent it by warning of the kind of fallout that there could be regionally and indeed in terms of the situation in the occupied west bank the bilateral situation between israel and the palestinians the damage the i

what has changed is the fact that as part of that unity government there is a deal that allows benjamin netanyahu to bring an exception either to the israeli cabinet and government and get approval from it or to the israeli parliament the knesset and seek approval or both and that is written into the deal benny gantz his former rival now defense minister having no veto over it although it's very interesting to see what he's been saying just in the last day or so. the fact that the changes they were saying that what's important is is the united states this was position it israel there has been this question as to exactly what gantz would do he has indicated that he wants to see. that unilateral annex a shot in the past he said that he wants to see some kind of cooperation with jordan at least in terms of israel's neighbors of of why the international consultation well yesterday tuesday jury in a briefing to the military journalists here in israel he seemed to come very much closer to benjamin a position saying that israel did not want to be dragged into a quote deep expletive of the palestinians b

feather reports israel's top leaders prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the main coalition partner his main coalition partner benny gantz are odds about the country's planned an accession of the occupied west bank as now was set to move forward with the plan as early as this week as get more from harry fawcett in west jerusalem for us so it seems that there are tensions between gantz and netanyahu over the spline what can we read into this harry. well yes it's a little bit difficult because benny gantz isn't yet coming out with an absolutely firm declaration of his party and his own position on this but he has been in recent days been giving hints at least pretty broad ones that he wants to see at least a delay in any immediate moves on friday he released a statement talking about his parameters among which were ensuring that any palestinians who would be subject to an expression living in and to be annexed lands would get equal rights saying that he would advance bilateral moves with palestinians if an exception were to proceed and then on monday in talks with senior u.s. official

a partnership between 2 unlikely nations israel and the united arab emirates prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the 2 will work together in research and technology he says the agreement was reached after months of negotiations the u.a.e. doesn't have formal diplomatic relations with israel israel's announcement comes just days before netanyahu has plans to an expanse of the occupied west bank though that. this cooperation will be in research and technology development 2 areas that will improve the health security of the entire region these are the result of continuous and intensive communications that took place over the past months this will bring a blessing to many in our region but the higher our strength and strength the more it will be able to deter our enemies and bring our friends closer to us. the u.s. house of representatives is debating a sweeping police reform bill brought by the democrats the legislation would reduce legal protections for offices and make it easier to prosecute police it will also ban chokeholds and change the criteria for using lethal force it follows nationwi

meeting i think what benjamin netanyahu will be considering those to what extent the warnings that we're getting from all of these speakers to what extent he's already potentially priced them in to his annexation plans and also what will be the outcome of the discussions that are currently going on in washington d.c. among senior u.s. officials as to how much to greenlight whether to greenlight the annexation there worsen clues in kelly craft the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. in her speech a little earlier she talked about it needing courageous israeli leadership to make the tough choices required now that could be a signal that the united states may potentially want some kind of explicit acceptance of a palestinian state which is in the trunk plan albeit one which is much smaller and much more constricted than the palestinians want hence the rejection of it by the palestinian president and senior palestinian leadership especially given the fact that it would also see 30 percent of the occupied west bank be annexed under that plan but to sell it to right wingers to settlers it may be diffi

and that got the possibilities of it in you will have negotiations israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu intends to enix the jordan valley and parts of the occupied west bank as early as next week many believe that the country's unilateral move would quickly raise tensions in the region including russia and the e.u. who either get together with the e.u. we confirm or a common position and assessment that the implementation of plans to end its palestinian territories on the west side of the jordan river will jeopardize the prospect of a 2 state solution to the palestinian israeli problem and may provoke a dangerous new round of violence in the region however it looks like that even a chorus of voices in opposition to the move may not be enough to stop netanyahu emboldened by support from the u.s. there is really prime minister seems determined to move forward with the plan netanyahu has said that with the support of president trumps vision for peace initiative it's time to apply the israeli law and write another glorious chapter in the history of zionism trumps planning coups a palestinia

differing messages coming from both of them we've just heard from benjamin netanyahu he's finished his talks with the u.s. envoy berkovitz who's been here for the last few days for discussions with senior israelis also and did not run of talks the israeli at the u.s. ambassador david friedman as well netanyahu tweeting that that he'd had these talks on the issue of israelis call it extending sovereignty to parts of the west bank and that the work is continuing and would continue in the coming days or perhaps a signal that nothing major may well be announced on the 1st day of a double to netanyahu to start making moves on an exception july the 1st as for benny gantz he again has been saying that the priorities should lie elsewhere in a t.v. interview he said the 1000000 people who'd be left unemployed during the coronavirus economic consequences and the problems that the pandemic had caused in that arena that they weren't worried about annexation and the government should commit itself to working on the economy netanyahu again saying that the government could handle both dealing with th

believes it is none of your business to be even considering whether palestine ‘s estate, and benjamin netanyahuyahu, the palestine ‘s estate, and benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister, has said are showing yourselves to be politicised, obsessed with carrying out a headhunting operation against and the us, while turning a blind eye to the world's worst human rights offenders, including the regime in iran. again, here we go with slower language, you know, characterising a court of law that is supported by 123 state parties, by the united nations, human rights organisations, the european union strongly behind us. so all this slower language is used to attract attention from any issues. the issue here is about the humanity, the common humanity, that we share. the palestinians have presented a question for the court. so apparently, as you would know, israel is on the other side of that question. so it would not be correct to assume the palestinian position as correct or the israeli position as correct or the israeli position as correct. it is an issue that the judges have to contemplate, reflect up

earliest possible date under the deal between him and netanyahu the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for this coalition government that's the 1st date under which the movement towards annexation can be advanced and he sets out what could be read as something of a toughened tone in against netanyahu in terms of saying that that he would be willing to speak to the palestinians at any time even tomorrow if they wanted to seriously that there would be no annexation in a palestinian area or least an area with a large palestinian population or where their movement would be severely curtailed if there were palestinians inside such an area they would be granted equal rights that there would be security and diplomatic groundwork that went in place ahead of any annexation to preempt any petition potential security problems and also said that he would advance moves towards bilateral negotiations with the palestinians as part of this as well and all of this he says is part of the american peace plan the trump plan but really when you look at it it doesn't really reject anything that looks within

it's an exception class palestinian foreign minister maliki says the israel of benjamin netanyahu doesn't believe it's bound by international norms or laws israel thinks as has been its experience so far that it will not be fined or oppressed and it's believed that security council resolutions are binding for others international course have jurisdiction over others sanctions are full others israel's ambassador durrani the norm went back in history to justify an exception. everything more that led the people of israel out of egypt planted over into the land of israel. only in the land that yeah that one of. the jews had believed and exit the. land but the vast majority 14 out of 15 members of the security council following more recent history the councils own resolutions when israel took east jerusalem the west bank and gaza in the 1967 war the security council declared in numerous subsequent resolutions that these were occupied territories since then large parts of this palestinian land has been taken over by israeli settlers but this is the 1st time in 52 years that israel has come clos

intractability very much result of the power sharing deal isn't it was it you imagine that if benjamin netanyahu was on his own that he was the sole prime minister then things would be very much proceeding on july 1st more well that's right and even within the power sharing deal netanyahu does have the rights or at least the ability to go ahead there is no explicit veto that is given to benny gantz and his blue and white party and netanyahu said as much very openly on monday saying that they're not a factor in whether we go ahead with an extension it is up to us and the united states in the deal netanyahu can bring an accession to the cabinet and or to the israeli parliament so he has 2 separate routes he can bypass dance but the question is whether the u.s. will stand by the indications that had been making the leaks that had come out suggesting that it wanted to see a consensus within the israeli government before it would go ahead and green light an exception also on the genders whether netanyahu will publicly commit himself to the other half of the annexation deal as far as the trump plan is

to make of the hard choices required so does that mean that they will require something of benjamin netanyahu in terms of acknowledging publicly that this is part of a trump plan which also as part of it contains a palestinian state something that might be harder for him to sell to his right wing supporters here in israel and also 'd talking about holding the palestinian leadership accountable is that another attempt to try and get the palestinians to hold talks and potentially stave off an accession talks based on the trump plan which they have utterly rejected because of the annexation it also includes in the huge loss of territory within the occupied west bank that would result i think it's very late in the day to try and make those sorts of appeals over there are reports that they have been made through various channels to the palestinian leadership what is much more likely seems to be a coalescing of opinion around a limited potentially to start with at least a phased annexation out zeros abraham is in the jordan valley and has been speaking with the palestinian prime minister's advisor

committee which mapped out borders where israel would apply its sovereignty prime minister benjamin netanyahu is vowing to bring that plan to a cabinet hearing for approval on july the 1st so a bit of background for you there just before we speak to al-jazeera senior political analyst mo and to sharon you were saying earlier that you thought actually the speakers who were supposed to take action sounded more like analysts themselves absolutely and i take offense because my job out there we have our own we report we are now allies their support their policy in act policy to action or books you know doctors are you should do whatever but you don't have to take our jobs in a more serious note i think what this boils down to. is really another situation whereby it is rare and the trump administration on the one side and the entire world community is one of the others and i think that's the senate situation is certain and the united states as well as for the international peace and order if you work because really corporate washee group could be struck to any possibility. for the world community f

prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been incredibly quiet about what he intends to do as early as tomorrowael and specifically netanyahu could move forward with the annexation of parts of the west bank. there are very few others that know his plan and that includes, as crazy as this sounds, his defense minister and foreign minister who aren't necessarily on the same page as netanyahu when it comes to moving forward. there were meetings in the white house recently about what plans will be advanced and there was no consensus after three days of meetings. one member of the trump administration's peace team was here to see if there could be some consensus. there doesn't have to be. he can move forward alone. they'll dissolve the pa, palestinian authority, and put israel in charge of everything. the european union could take measures against israel including recognizing the state of palestine and they warn annexation could lead to frozen relations. right now it's all up to netanyahu what he wants to do and crucially when he wants to do it. >> a lot of moving parts. a lot of uncertainty, too, or

this comes 15 days before benjamin netanyahu is scheduled to annex key parts of the west bank. plan has received heavy pushback from the arab world, including jordan which warned of possible conflicts as a result. tensions continued, although the past few months have been a rare period of quiet. one of the largest concerns is the possibility of violence erupting as a result of the decision by the israeli government. one important thing to remember here is that the americans did put forth a deal of the century peace plan, though it has been widely rejected by the palestinians, offering no clear solution in the near future. todd, jillian. jillian: thanks, trey. the afghan government agreeing to peace talks with the taliban. the two sides will hold their first meeting in qatar. no date has been set. the taliban says the government must free more prisoners first. this comes hours after the afghan officials accused the taliban of killing or wounding more than 400 security forces in the past week. south korea responding to new military threats from north korea overnight. the presiden

blind support of israeli exaggerated political views after 3 back to back elections in israel benjamin netanyahu is once again the prime minister in your view how will history judge him now i'm afraid not very well i'm afraid not very well he has tremendous qualities as a speaker he's very convincing he's able to present his case is at bradley protect his. totally impossible he's managed to. lead is very politics develop in a sense that does not take into chris consideration not only the relations with the palestinians but the quality of their own lives. i have to say i am extremely disappointed about all that israel is now threatening to annex parts of the west bank can i ask you again the question david frost asked you 7 years ago do you think a 2 state solution is now dead 1st they have to agree to accept the existence of the other. it's not important whether it is in one big national state or in 2 states in n. not that it's not important but it's not the moment to discuss now that now the important thing is the acceptance of that which equal rights and there has to be justice for the palesti
