hamas as a terrorist organisation.teman, one of our correspondents for more details on this israeli reaction. i think the view from the israeli government is that on the one hand whilst they regard the humanitarian situation in gaza as volatile and potentially threatening to israel simply because of the uncertainty it brings to the territory, and they would like some resolution to that. on the other, they believe that hamas involved in any reconciliation with the palestinian authority which is internationally recognised they see asa internationally recognised they see as a threat and see it as a group that threatens the destruction of israel, they don't think the group has denounced that in any way so they're concerned by this. they're not leaving much room for manoeuvre in their position, should we assume while the partnerships remain united with hamas as part of that unified front, any idea of talks around the peace process should be parked intr else? when it comes to the peace process we have to accept at the moment

the hamas is not giving easily. what to getting in the last tenen years it's wt it has been under a lot of pleasure? form i israel's forming jets f from the internatioional community. it's in many ways was forced into this position because it's doesn't have many choices. but i n nt is there right this would fall intoto placee to get there with wht happens between gaza and there was never a rabbit i mean how mrs w wilson down some of f the language a at use is. but it still refuses to recognize israel that's going to be a sticking poin. further down the line isn't it. collllect butut to the end f the day. it except that also with the council would be a gogo so it becomes for. democrats entities a institution repeal so i did. this is part of the political process yes the hamas is not a movement that like no we should help position. is susceptible to a peace process revealer but the two different it's enough if you accept. that the plo and the palestinian authority can negotiate a peaceful if. rip refusal and accept th

hamas says it does not want to and does not intend to.have yet to see her for this will go, that this is a preliminary announcement made with great fanfare because it has been a decade. genie: it is true there are still many questions here, what about the plans we have heard so far, things that are more concrete? what are they, and will those succeed? thes: what we have heard at moment, dribbling out from cairo to us, is that within two weeks the border crossing at raqqa will pass from the hands of hamas to the hands of fatah. ,0,000 officials will come in working together inside gaza. within a month, at mahmoud abbas, the palestinian president, the head of fatah, will return to gaza. he has not been there in a decade. these are signs this is a move far greater than anything we have seen so far in all the previous talks. will this actually reach real fruition? honestly, i can tell you from all the analysts i have spoken to, nobody is willing to put their hands on their hearts and say it is going to succeed this time either. genie: thank y

it has been in the hands of hamas, which rivals his fatah party.e is more from prime minister rami and allah -- hamdallah. to open the door for help, will, and unity, and to give the government a chance to assume all its sectors,ilities in the siside-by-side with all the palestinian parties. anchor: to talk a bit more about , fromlet's bring in iris jerusalem. we heard the palestinian prime minister talk about overcoming all obstacles. what are these obstatacles, exactly? guest: they start with a history of enmity going back 10 years. it was 10 years since hamas test fatah out of the gaza strip, and it was very bitter. the 10 years have seen bitter dealings. if they can overcome that and see they can work together, how will they do that? what does it mean in practice? hasn't estimated 25,000 men under arms. what is going to happen to them? we have heard from hamas that they want to give civilian power act to fatah, back to the west bank leadership, the do not want to give control of the gaza borders and do not want to give up their arms. basically

palestinian negotiators from hamas and fatah have signed a reconciliation deal after a decade long split between the bitter rivals all this after holding talks in cairo on governing the gaza strip where in jerusalem and the president trump is expected to announce whether the u.s. should we knew the iran nuclear deal because of bad for america but please go all the way and scrap this landmark agreement entirely we have analysis. a pleasure to have you with us and we want to start in brussels where the e.u. brigs a negotiator mission by you said he's disturbed by the lack of progress in this week's talks with the u.k. says there's a deadlock over how much britain should pay when it leaves the e.u. and that it will be recommending next week session to move on to other topics like trade here's a bit of what he had to say let's sell us watch. i don't have a common goal we're determined to reach an agreement on the withdrawal of the united kingdom an orderly withdrawal. and we wish to outline together the framework of a future relationship. he said i need there are speaking a little earlier on

very strong condemnation of hamas donald trump calling it a terrorist group which needed to be driven out of the middle east's just a few months ago with this reconciliation effort going on his middle east envoy jason green again saying that hamas would needs to change its ways but in a fairly muted way so there is some i think regional support for this reconciliation attempt the question though is exactly what form it will take and how sustainable it could be if it is just a question of the facts are that the palestinian authority providing services running the day to day administration of the gaza strip and allowing hamas to retain its military wing in some relatively quiet way that could hold for a while but at some stage for there to be full palestinian unity a bus that was in president's been saying he doesn't want to see a lebanon style situation with a powerful alternative center of power in terms of military wing alongside a civilian administration we were speaking to a senior executive committee that the secretary general of the executive committee yesterday and he was saying

hamas and fatah we've had hamas move into egypt they have become increasingly close will that lead to an improvement in security because egypt often blamed hamas for allowing weapons to be smuggled into egypt behind. accuse them of being behind some of the violence well i think that the i think it's clear that the egyptian role which is very very important in trying to bring about the reconciliation between hamas and fatah the two palestinian movement is to a considerable degree motivated by their own security concerns there's no question that the situation in sinai with the where the insurgency has been going on there for for quite a while is a matter of enormous concern to the authorities in in cairo so there's egyptian security there's a question of palestinian unity and we have seen in the last couple of weeks these really extraordinary images of the head of egyptian intelligence embracing the mass leaders in gaza as they try to try to broker this and there's also. plenty of comment to the effect that the recent attacks particularly a couple earlier this week. in sinai were in res
