since then, the situation in gaza is deplorable. unemployment is higher there than anywhere else in the world. are the palestinian people realizing the tough stance by hamas is not getting them anywhere? this document is also a product of pressure from the inside. there is pressure from the people not being happy with what, has achieved. it is pressure from the west bank, from mahmoud abbas, and pressure from the international community. tries to resolve all of this at the same time, i suppose. laura: thank you very much. under pressure in both syria and iraq, fighters for islamic state are putting up a fierce resistance. bombers killed at least 38 people in an attack on an -- on a camp for displaced people on the border with syria, following another surprise attack in which 10 iraqi soldiers were killed. -- as the battle to liberate muzzle continues, there's a toll on the life there. thousands of children were forced to abandon their schooling in 2014 when the jihadi's takeover. the united nations says the situation is dire and inv

and here you can see and smell another affect of gaza's power crisis.g discharged like this, just off the coast. behind this power crisis is a political power struggle. it is ten years since the islamist group hamas took over gaza, ousting forces loyal to the palestinian president. now he is trying to heap on financial pressure and reassert his control amid a new international push to restart the peace process with israel. his government says it will no longer pay for electricity which israel supplies. the un says if that is cut off, the effects could be catastrophic. we are working very hard with the palestinian authority to pass messages between all sides that a political solution is to be found for this crisis, and the only reasonable political solution is to in fact work on returning gaza to the control of the legitimate palestinian authority, the government. but for now there is no sign of that happening, and rivalry between the main palestinian factions looks set to remain a potential stumbling block for peace efforts. meanwhile nearly two million

the economic disaster that has been the west bank communities, to say nothing of what happens to gazais really extraordinary. israel would argue it's because of security that is the fault of the palestinian leadership, not controlling their own people. palestinians would say they're being disadvantaged and unfairly imprisoned by walls, security walls erected by israel. it's interesting mahmoud abbas today mentioned the wall and prrtd did not. we know his affection for walls. in fact, the other day when asked about walls, he said -- and the wall he wants to build on the southern border, he said, walls work, just look at israel. so, he's an avowed supporter of the wall israel has erected but that's one of the key flash points here. one other point i wanted to fact-check following the leader of esteemed fact-checker of "the washington post" who just tweeted he doesn't understand why the trump white house claims theirs was the first flight from riyadh to israel. there was one. it was a pretty notable one. it was may 16, 2008, george w. bush, after meetings in riyadh with then-king abdulla

you have a problem of the gaza are you now have its own political difficulties.o trying to seek concessions from the gulf states on a peace process, remembering that the official position of saudi arabia and that of arab states is peace proposal, which in many ways closely parallels the idea of the two-state solution, always subject to the uncertainty of the 19 '67 line. and because of the way everybody quotes this, we forget that the u.n. never endorsed the '67 line. it used the phrase with adjustments, which is not exactly a line in the sand by any standard. so how you sort this out in a presidential visit i would say is not going to be a particularly credible priority. you would have to have the participants in a better position. and they are not ones who are suddenly going to be pressured from the outside without both sides being much closer to agreeing. within the gulf you need to be really careful. we already are basing an operating out of most of the smaller gulf states. we have cooperated closely with oman which is not a country in a position to spend mor

and what is happening at gaza? there is the problem for israel of what is happening in egypt, which is yeek qually important to the united -- equally important to the united states. a problem economics and stability. it's also a tangible impact on war fighting in the sinai and the gaza where you have a low level conflict and one that is not -- has not been getting better. it's been getting worse. you have the problem of what happens and it will happen fairly quickly. if you see mosul actually liberated and isis driven out of its pseudo capital in raqqa, because for israel that may well mean that it faces a significant and very different extremist threat somewhere on its border area. there is also the fact that during all of these conflicts hezbollah have steadily built up its missile forces effectively rearmed and gotten better capabilities so you have a far larger hezbollah threat in lebanon than you had at the point where israel fought a war over the threat in that area. and then there is always the question of p

the only real solution is the removal of hamas fromç gaza.s from gaza, both sides -- the israelis and the palestinians -- will be able to make a deal. but i think that i give president trump all the credit because he said the right thing in israel, his support for israel. but i think the tasks is very difficult -- the task is very difficult because nobody wants to say the magic words, remove hamas from gaza. stuart: how about another aspect of what the president was talking about? he looked at mahmoud abbas and said, look, you are rewarding the families of dead jihadis. that is the law of the palestinian authority. knock it off. unithat's going to -- you think that's going to happen? >> that's the only way that israel will agree to talk to the palestinians. if they continue to pay, you know, handsome sums to the families of terrorism, i mean, they're just continuing the attacks that, the horrific attack that we saw today in manchester. stuart: do you favor a more forceful approach in europe and america? at the moment, it seems we're slightly

a lot of commonalities here. >> if i can intercorrect there, what happened to gaza is a perfect example of contracting human rights. it's not really palestinians themselves that is are generically all terror actors but exploitation of innocent muslims by islamism. heather: as we continue to look at the live pictures, i did want to talk a little bit more about the president's agenda beyond this. very tight schedule, west bank and the church of the sepulchre, doctor. >> heather, these are foundational places for the beginnings of cristianty, bethlehem, the birth of the holey jesus. this is connecting him with the roots of his own face while representing christianity which is the predominant religion in the united states. we can also look to see some very eloquent and remarkable speeches, not just from our president but prime minister netanyahu who is a skilled intellect and arbitrator. rob: they're not terribly friendly nations as we know but interesting to see as a fact. i want to bring rebecca back. somewhat bold to speaking to gcc and almost conflicting meetings in a way. >> it is. som

--hink actually, it actually i mean, the real "oslo" story started by us visiting gaza for the firste. my wife was a diplomat based in cairo and we went to israel for the first time into gaza and the west bank and we saw during the first intifada clashes between israeli soldiers and palestinian , what we saw in the eyes of the soldiers and the palestinians, youngsters, was the same angst. they were afraid. meaningless. you have 18-year-old, palestinians and israelis standing with guns and stones and flings to each other. meaningless. this became a main motivation for both of us. we have to do something to resolve this issue, so again, it is personal and very simple. it is emotions. it is people to people. charlie: and the belief that it is not impossible? .> yeah, i mean, probably everybody, if they knew what we were trying to do, they thought resolve they to -palestinian issue. maniac, -- of metal megalomaniac. sometimes, it is easier to do the impossible than to do the possible. i think the play gives a ray of that indeed ite is possible to resolve issues of the day. charlie: this

some zooisraelis also believe t hamas is now a reality that gaza is not going to go away.ut that is not likely to happen under president trump. at least not as far as israel is concerned, at least as far as netanyahu is concerned. it's not going to be possible. so i think the broader vision is not articulated really. jared kushner very prominent involved. and he's close to the settlement's philosophy of the new ambassador to israel. the trump lawyer, our new u.s. ambassador with the foundation that jared kushner's father was involved with, which is settlements. so there's talk about whether there's a possibility for peace as long as donald trump supports israel's visions of expanding the settlements of what is believed to be by many diplomats, bush as well as clinton, that it has to be part of a palestinian state if there is ever going to be a viable palestinian state. they tread into a coherent palestinian state in the west bank by chopping up the west bank so dramatically have made it impossible to have what anyone could imagine as a palestinian state. the other thing to

i think actually, it actually, i mean the real story start off by visiting gaza for the first time. my wife was a diplomat based in cairo and we went to israel are for the first time and to gaza and the west bank. and we flew during the first clashes between israely soldiers and palestinians. what we saw in the eyes of the youngsters was the same angst. they were afraid, both of them. we said this is meaningless. here you have these 18, 19 year old kids palestinians and israelis standing there with guns and stones and slings to each other. this is meaningless. and this became kind of motivation for both of us. we have to do something to resolve this issue. again, it's personal. it's very simple. it's emotions. it's people to people. >> rose: and the belief it's not impossible. >> yes. probably everybody if they knew what we were trying to do would go crazy. to young legions trying to resolve the arab-israeli, the israeli-palestinian issue was kind of a maniac. but we did it. i think this exemfies, sometimes it's easier to do the impossible than to do the possible. >> i think the pla

, will probably win as they did in gaza, which makes a peace deal less likely. >> of course. it is very important yesterday to hear that -- to listen to the president saying that hamas and hezbollah in the same line with isis and al qaeda, as great terrorist threats to humanity, that was very important. but what the president should say to palestinians, is not only the fact that this, but it's right. until that happens i'm afraid that most negotiations will be futile. they have to recognize israel's right to exist. that's the first thing to make a compromise. without compromise there is no chance to make peace. >> i want to bring you up to speed with what's going on with the president, by the way. you can see first lady ivanka trump, hr mcmaster is also in this vicinity as is rex tillerson. you just saw ivanka trump, melania trump, i said, i we saw melania and ivanka behind her. this is the group of people who left the western wall and they are moving on. is kelly o'donnell with me? i'm going to ask kelly what happens next. kelly? >> well, ali, there is also a plan for conver
