of perception of the gaza strip.spite of the closure of the gaza strip without water or electricity in the absence of freedom of all these negative things, i want you to know gaza is greater and a lot more than that because children like myself in the gaza strip do not wish to be seen as victims, but rather as makers of change. in the future, i would like to become one of the best surgeons in the world. education is the means for me to realize this dream and my aspirations. however, i sometimes feel a afrd and concerned due to the shortage of job opportunities here in the gaza strip. student hatemnrwa hamdouna. we want to thank matthias schmale, director of unrwa operations in gaza, and theodore kattouf, president and ceo of amideast who made ismail ajjaw'' s scholarship at harvard

of israel's territory to include west bank settlements while palestinians could get part of the gaza strip for infrastructure but couldn't actually live that the leaks also suggested that the palestinians would be forbidden from having an army of guests thrash the plans 1st of all let's agree that the there and there might be a plan that the us administration is working on but that peace is not part of it and the palestinians are not part of it then that's why the palestinians have taken the very logical approach in forming the international committee that so long as this administration does not recognize palestine the end rights for international law there's really not much to talk about if the palestinians are going to simply boycott mr green blood boycott mr trump boycott the saudis boycott anything before they even seen the play and then there's no opportunity for engagement this is the time for engagement not for boycotts and when you start to boycott the arab world and the united states you're going down a very slippery slide and i got to be arab or else or miss. no but is well i can

the north that is used by hamas israel says it was a response to rockets being launched from the gaza strip earlier on wednesday. well the un the says the israeli prime minister's pledge to add makes one 3rd of the occupied west bank it would be a serious violation of international law benjamin netanyahu has made it a key manifesto promise ahead of next week's elections around 65000 palestinians live in the region need abraham has more now from the jordan valley. we're standing in brasil always a village in the jordan valley this israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he wants to annex this area he doesn't want to annex that area over there jericho and a larger because he says he wants to complete and carry out his plan without annex in any single palestinian but there are palestinians here bedouin communities we've spoken to some of them and they believe that what netanyahu is saying is part of his elections campaign. every time they have is really elections they do it at the expense of the palestinian people and you know says i want to annex a jordan valley so israelis will vote f

really the fault is that palestinians cannot outside of the gaza strip except for people who need very very narrow roads here yesterday morning so in theory actually the players meet that criteria there is credit here that allows for palestinian national teams and and teams to travel but the players were blocked in any case and i think that's an experience that of course many many people can relate to and the default is that no one trials except for those rare people who do get a permit to do so and i think this is something that is of course much broader than just sports of course this is a question for these players access to their right place but they've been working in training to play this game and they should be able to do so but this is definitely about a much bigger question which is about the fact that is being isolated from the west bank that its people civilians are being protected from traveling from moving goods in a way that they could build palestinian society that they could access the fruits of development that they can live live normal lives like other people do well

the disputed territories of the west bank and gaza strip of long being a seed of discord more than 600000 israelis including in west jerusalem live in the settlements which 1st appeared in the region more than 50 years ago many international organizations including u.n. and e.u. call these areas a serious breach of international law but israel rejects the accusations claiming the territories never belong to any particular country and so no legislation has been violated let's go on the mitchell barac believes no one will take this issue seriously on an international level. i think it's a cynical use of policy it's a cynical use of a very serious issue it's a serious use of a contentious issue internationally although most israelis would agree that the bekka valley belongs to israel and will remain in israeli hands for many many generations but to use it now i think a lot of people think it's a political stunt and it's a political stunt that may work have we seen any international reaction from the united nations or anyone else when the united states recognized jerusalem as the capital of i

process from the outset oslo was never about ending the israeli occupation of the west bank and the gaza strip and lamenting city itself determination throop our city and state but just as a refugee question oslo was a way to get around that consensus and a mechanism through which israel could reconfigure its relations with the palestinians and in the aftermath of the 1st intifada that because israeli leadership came to that was an satisfy it was untenable but it was simply to continue the occupation through different means and that's the real issue i think if we're going to have a meaningful peace process i think the last 25 here is as demonstrated well beyond any reasonable or unreasonable doubt that israel is and capable of made game the kinds of compromises that are necessary for a durable israeli possibly in peace and the balance there for agreement in the correct of the international community. to take the necessary measures and i think there would have to be served by palestinian actions to demonstrate that the status quo that was established by ausiello is as untenable as a status quo
