it's intriguing name from gaza too but then has a double meaning. it's located on the corner of gaza and burnin streets but it also points to the fact that the food served here like israel itself is somewhere between east and west. restaurant work and near an israeli jew has no qualms about admitting the heritage of the food he serves like there is no israeli food all our food is from like neighbors and people that can we gratian jewish immigration of going to israel and there are people that it's a. neighbor ejects palestinian claims that the traditional food has been appropriated by the israelis nobody's discords from nobody knows it's it's moved there out that combination on the same dish it's like in the or even the homeless in england you know to the homeless to the english to it's. far and the city in which over the centuries so much has been disputed and claims by one side or another it's perhaps no surprise to find that even food is a subject of contention. everything his seems to be loaded with the symbolism and with the significance that m

want to bring you back to 2005, exactly 15 years ago, when the government decided to pull out from gaza jewish communities. many israelis were not happy about this decision but once the government reaches a decision, we implement it. this is a democracy. mr netanyahu's message throughout the election was that if he became prime minister, he would deliver on this promise to — and i'll use the word one more time, and we can discuss in a moment whether it's legitimate — but he promised, as far as the international community is concerned, to annex 30% of the territory of the west bank and pretty much all of the jewish settlements. the bottom line is it is no longer clear that is going to happen. he has blinked. i don't agree with that. it is a unity government, but in the coalition agreement on this issue, the prime minister does not need the approval of mr benny gantz and his party. unlike any other issue in the unity government, actually, they have to decide about every decision, every agenda item in the government, but on this particular decision, the prime minister can bring it to the g
