t is clear both israel are enemies of hamas in gaza and other places. so the big question is whoever feels united the national union of the government or whoever reality will be faced. reality simply is that no piece -- peace can be reached with hamas included. >> ok. thank you very much for sharing your views with us. now let's move on to other world news. world and regional powers are digesting news that the al qaeda linter group isis emboldened enough. they took over huge parts of territory and say they are now called the islamic state. they say their leader is now the leader of muslims everywhere. >> they are not isis anymore. the jihaddist organization fighting in syria and iraq has rebranded as the islamic state. they are announcing itself and declaring statehood in an audio recording posted online. >> the islamic state has decided to announce the creation of an slamic state >> as the direct successor of the prophet muhammad he is technically the chief of all muslims. it says it will enforce the law over law sways of territory from syria the west

to make hamas his partner. israel holds the palestinian authority and abbas responsible for any attacks against israel that emnant from palestinian controlled territory. >> netanyahu's statements are stupid. they are meant as part of a secret service war. israel is fully responsible for the escalation against our people and against the p palestinian leadership including the large-scale detention as and arrest of hamas members in the occupied west bank. >> abdullah abdullah, joining us live from ramallah. the israeli prime minister seams absolutely certain, doesn't he, that the members of hamas have got something to do with the kidnapping of these three young men? >> i don't think that he has any credibility for the statement he made. if he knows for sure that hamas did that, then let them go and get these israeli soldiers. but to accuse hamas and to carry out collective punishment, arresting all people, members of parliament, elderly women, young people, it's only at this demonstration of the failure of the isr

hamas his partner. israel holds the palestinian authority and president abbas responsible for any attacks against israel that emanate from palestinian-controlled territory. >> now, hamas has rejected prime minister netanyahu's accusations. >>> netanyahu's statements are stupid. it is part of a secret service war. israel is fully responsible for the escalation against our people an against the palestinian leadership including the large-scale detensions and arrests of hamas members and parliamentarians in the west bank. >> supermarket chains have been seized owned by the the muslim brotherhood. a part of the government crackdown. former u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has been warning of the consequences of the new leadership in egypt. she made the comments after abdul fatah al sisi was sworn in last week. >> i was just appalled that there was no political element to this revolution. fast forward. we went through the muslim brotherhood. we went through the uprising orchestrated by the military to

as far as hamas is concerned, they were under financial pressure. and the people you so think these things about the legacy right now. >> ok, tonya cramer with that for us from gaza's eddie. thanks very much. -- gaza city. thanks very much. russia has accused ukrainian authorities of crimes against its own people in the eastern region where a deadly battle has been raging since russian separatists attacked a border guard base. >> at least five people were killed, with both sides blaming each other. >> cctv footage captured the explosion at a building occupied by pro-russian separatists in luhansk. kiev has denied the allegations. it says the separatists hit the building with a rocket when they were trying to shoot down the ukrainian army plane. throughout the day, luhansk was the scene of heavy clashes between the two sides. hundreds attacked the ukrainian border post in one of the biggest offensives so far. these images show them firing from the roof of a nearby residential building. a ukrainian office spokesman said -- said they sent aircraft to t

and again pointing the blame on the palestinians first of all we don't really know the hamas i don't as far as i know nobody's taking responsibility for this. but pointing to the victims pointing to the palestinians as responsible for what takes place in the west bank is absolutely a lie and it's a very cynical way of approaching this issue the direct responsibility for what happened to these boys and what happens to thousands of palestinians on a regular basis for years now the birth is this is on the state of israel is on the israeli government an israeli military force pilot israeli writer and peace activist with us on the line from washington thanks so much for your comments tonight in the now i want to keep the conversation going get some more thoughts on this spokesperson for americans for peace now already near and joins us now live from washington as well thanks for being with us again this has clearly escalate into something more than just a search operation what's your take. without a doubt what we're seeing here is is the mushroom of an incident that could have been just t

same thing with hamas. if they denounced terrorism and recognized israel as an enemy in that part of the world, you pony up money but after they have shown good behavior. egypt got aid after they signed an agreement with israel in the late 1970s. but don't do it in advance. you'll fund the very thing you're fighting against. >> we have been ponying up a lot of money. since 2010 the palestinian authority received $1.9 billion. now, we want to give hundreds of millions to an organization we know has a terrorist within it. >> well, you know, to me whether they're terroristsor n or not i the point. why are american workers on the hook for a wellbeing of friend or foe around the world. when governments spend they subtract capital from businesses. i think that's the bigger problem with this. >> but rich, specifically terrorists. there are some organizations, some of which are close to president obama like c.a.r.e. which does not say hamas is a terrorist organization even though they kill innocent people which is

israel said hamas kidnapped three teenagers. israel has now rounded up 150 palestinian as part of their investigation. >> the israeli army has all but locked down hebron city in the occupied west bank. tense door to door searches and roadside check points are non-stop, hunting for three missing israeli teenagers. they were last seen hitchhiking near where they live and presumed to have been kidnapped. it's a painful shock for settlers in the area. >> when we heard the news, the community felt like this is our child and everybody, even if they don't know him, he is connected to us. everybody is confused. it is difficult for them. we are all waiting for answers, like the parents. >> the government in israeli accuses hamas of taking the young men. the group, which controls the gaza strip is considered by israeli to be a terrorist organization. benjamin netanyahu said all military options will be considered. >> israeli will act and always under its province and always under our control to bring home the three kidnapped teenagers. is

hamas said his threats do not scare hamas. the gates of hell will be open to him. what is the israeli government going to do next? should we expect jets to the bomb areas where you believe hamas fighters to be? >> we're going to have to wait and see. i can tell you one thing for sure. we have a very responsible and serious leadership in jerusalem. they will make the decisions they have to make in order to send a very strong message to hamas that this action is unacceptable and to take the action that they deem necessary in order to protect and defend our population. your government would do the same thing, any government would do the same thing. >> i want to go right now to a guest we have an aunt of one of the victims, and then i want to come back to you, mr. ambassador, if that's all right. joining me on the phone is the aupt of one of the victims. the israeli american teen naftali frenkel. >> i'm so sorry for your loss. what can you tell us, what do you know about what happened to your nephew? >> they just found them both bodies in the whole and i guess they kil

break your political alliance with hamas. break your pack with hamas.t you're a partner in peace and at the same time embrace these terrorists from hamas, these killers of children. it doesn't fit. it doesn't work. >> this strike that we've seen and we have an eyewitness who's seen it on one of the suspected -- one of the hamas members who's suspected of involvement in this. this isn't the only hamas member who is a suspect. so i'm wondering will there be more, mark? will we see a further reaction? is this just the beginning? >> the palestinian people are not our enemies. on the contrary. we want to live in peace with our palestinian neighbors. but there can be no doubt that hamas, which is an extreme islamist organization is committed to an extreme agenda, a very radical agenda, not dissimilar from hezbollah from lebanon or isis in iraq. these groups want to kill. these groups want to murder. these groups believe that through this orgy of violence they somehow cleansing the world for their warped and extreme religious views. they have to be opposed. th

, we are acting against hamas machine. hamas is a prult terrorist organization that -- brutal terrorist organization, that targets men women and children. acting against hamas we are protecting our people from this real terrorist threat. >> beyond the violent and political fallout, there have been no break throughs for the missing three israelis. that search will continue in an atmosphere of tremendous tension and finger-pointing. jane ferguson, al jazeera, ram h mramala, the occupied west bank. >> you call for the sanity of israeli society. what did you mean by that? >> i marine this has but a really big strain on israeli society. it's caused on the one hand for the society to be unified and worried about these kids or teenagers but it's also given rise and what i'm saying in the column is i'm suspecting that in the future it will sort of exacerbate a feeling of insularity and isolation and intolerance that has permeated israeli society for the past decade i think. >> if that intolerance continues the ratchet higher how d

they members of hamas or aligned with hamas and what will new e policies of the government. president abbas, who announced he members and swore them in today noted carefully that none of the members of the government hamas m the fatah or movement. hey are all a neutral technocrats as he has described them whose primary job is to run of the phrepb rs peop phrealestinian people and he ays they will adhere to the policies he seted a leaguer to were -- adhering to agreements signed previously. palestinian president can claim he represents all the alestinian people in gaza and west bank. >> given the enormous differences between hamas and in recent years do you think this unity government will survive? wrong to k it is consider this a national unity government t. is not a overnment of unification of fatah and hamas . reconciliation government that is supported by by both to supported make a ralestinian people choice of who they want to lead them. did that in 2006. >> where does this leave the israelis? >> i think israel will find isolated with the americans saying they will work

he said that hamas is responsible for their murder, and that hamas will pay the price for it. >> okay. ben wedeman, strong words, both from israel and then reaction from hamas, as well. mr. ambassador, just your reaction to hearing the news and these strong statements from this israeli defense force's news conference in the wake of this tragic discovery. >> good afternoon. it's a sad and tragic day for the people of israel. over the course of the last 18 days, since the kidnapping of the three teenagers, israelis have lived with the hope that they could be found and reunited safely with their parents. their parents have come out and strengthened the israeli people almost nightly, speaking to the israeli public, giving us faith, strength, and always kindling hope that these three wonderful young people could be reunited with their families. that is not the case now. there is in addition to deep sadness in the israeli public, there's a growing anger. and demand for a response. the response will be military, but not just military. also diplomatic. there was great frustration within the i

hamas's denials do not change this fact. >> hamas's spokesperson dismissed netanyahu's accusations as being stupid intelligence-driven. jane ferguson is in ramal a with more. >> it's been going on for three days now across the west bank but it's very much so centered around hebron in the south of the west bank. it's near there where the three teenagers were certain from. we are hearing that city is on lockdown. there are so many checkpoints in and around that city, an intensive searching, house to house across the town of hebron r really searching for any clues here that's where a lot of arrests have taken place. >> seems unlikely to abate. as you have said, at least 80 people arrested so far. >> that's likely to rise. there is no indication that this operation across the west bank will reduce. now, sources in the palestinian security forces told al jazeera that in hebron, at least 2000 extra members of the israeli army had been moved in there and israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu has also said that absolutely every option is on the table here. >> is presumed to include ever

the most prominent is hassam youcef, a leading figure of hamas. the others are also from hamas. two former ministers from hamas are also arrested in the west bank. there were arrests of former prisoners who are released from israeli gaols a few months ago. roadblocks have been erected. rates on palestine villages also overnight. hebron is now almost a closed military zone. no one is allowed in, no one is allowed out. >> sorry, can i just come in there and ask you - we heard from binyamin netanyahu saying very clearly that it was hamas that was behind the abduction of the three teenagers, and also that the responsibility for their release is on the shoulders of the - the palestinian president mahmoud abbas. how are the palestinians reacting to all this? >> well, there has been few reactions to binyamin netanyahu's comments last night which basically - in which he held the palestine authority responsible for the incident. but we heard from a security palestinian official saying that the pa shouldn't be held responsible, because it look place in area c. and it's in under full israe

these were members of hamas. let me just say i appreciate the sympathy and that sympathy was expressed throughout the united states by many american citizens because as a parent i think they can relate and understand what the people of israel are going through now, what those families were going through. we were all united for 18 days in the hope that they would be returned safe and sound to their families. unfortunately that did not happen. today we found them and these were young teenagers that were kidnapped and executed by hamas, which is a terror organization committed to israel's destruction and committed to terrorism and israel's cabinet met today in toward decide the best way to respond. >> your prime minister said they will be held response bib. what does that mean. >> that's a decision for the prime minister to make. he'll make the right decision to send a clear message to hamas. it dispatches scores of suicide bombers against our buses and cafes and pizza shops and has now perpetrated this heinous crim

taking some of those people belong to hamas and dig them deport them to god. this is as good as the international law there is no basis for the all the people who. are civilian. and clearly and the mission and teenager so in which raises the israeli will do something like this this is again is that international law should be condemned by the international community ok we appreciate getting your input this our top political adviser to prime minister dr ahmed yousef we thank you. the british government is pushing for a new law that would see malicious hackers jailed for life but activists say the cyber terrorism bill could also be used against online whistleblowers polly porker has the story in today's digital age committing a serious cyber crime could land you america sentence and the serious crime bill proposed in the queen's speech computer hackers who launched devastating attacks on u.k. infrastructure could soon face life behind bars a single attack can have such a dramatic effect let's just imagine a scenario where we go in the electricity for a week and

is behind that and for that reason we are operating against hamas at all levels hamas have to pay a price for carrying out these type of attacks and also all we'll go with this and what a little arresting people really had cheap i mean is it getting you closer to finding the three teenagers we will paralyze them pursue them and they will be threatened by our efforts is not a reality we can you know just sit by and say thank you very much we will operate it and act on it in order to prevent it as much as possible. in other news of this hour at least fifteen people have been killed in a new attack by islamist extremists in the kenya's coast. gunmen raided two villages overnight searching for security personnel at least twelve women were reportedly abducted during the attack it comes a day after the militant group attacked hotels in a police station leaving around fifty people did the group says it is taking revenge on kenya's military for the deaths of muslims in somalia loss of sub fighters massacred at least sixty seven people at a shopping center in nairobi. a double tornado has to

i don't know i don't know if they have all been says i don't know if it is hamas. actually i don't think that these it's important i can guess that they were kidnapped by palestinians even don't tar evidence is for blood but you know there were. palestinian a year so this is my guess and no i don't think that it's not important if the kidnapped members into hamas or. organizations or not to members at all in any organization i don't think that it's important they feel the importance of the important thing is that the majority in israel and palestine want to achieve peace agreement but i think the important thing is that kidnapping people is not acceptable i think the important thing is death violence from both sides is not acceptable and the question we form which will get me. i don't think it's that the court of course the government of israel isn't interested to see that they are from the hamas because they blame. on the government of the new government that they formed to see this on mars and they want they want to embarrass him because they don't want any pause

hamas has not changed one iota.rganization and dispatched scores of suicide bombers and fired thousands of rockets against our cities. it's an organization to condemn the united states for killing osama bin laden. so what we were hoped we would hear yesterday, the day this government was established, when the state department spokeswoman got up, we hoped we would hear very strong opposition to a government that was being established with this unreformed terror organization. unfortunately that did not happen and what we heard was more like it's business as usual. that's why we were disappointed. i will say, however, that we were pleased that we received very, very strong statements from congress, bipartisan, for -- strong bipartisan support among democrats and republicans alike, condemning president abbas, we think it's a huge step backwards from peace. >> let me tell you what the state department is saying that president abbas formed this government without any ministers who come from hamas, that some of them come f

israel has assigned blame to ham hamas. hamas is the effective sovereign in the gaza strip.d the kidnapping of these three youngsters. they hand out candies to young people in celebration of this kidnapping. and hamas as of this morning for the first time since the cease fire in 2012 is firing rockets at southern israel. so hamas is the perpetrator in the eyes of israel. and i think not only in israel's eyes. and there will be repercussions. >> looking at the faces that we have on the air now, the three young teens who were killed, and as you say, is a case that is electrified and captivated the israeli public in the last 18 days since they went missing, what do you expect the reaction to be from the israeli government, the israeli military, particularly in light of as you mentioned the fact they blame hamas for this? >> well, already, the israeli air force has been inactive over the last 48 hours in striking hamas targets in the gaza strip. there has been a buildup of israeli forces in the region. for the possibility of a larger confrontation with hamas. but i would assure

hamas is an international terrorist organization. we feel that perhaps it was a reason -- for reasons of political convenience, abbas made this arrangement but as a result he sent a signal to palestinian street. it was open season on israelis and the first three to suffer are these israeli teenagers. >> i apologize. i'm tight on time, but let's talk about those three teenagers. i mean, there's going to have to be some way to get this out. do you know specifically about the teen that holds an american citizenship? is it a dual citizenship? >> i have to details on his citizenship, but if someone wanted to communicate with us and say, look, we have these teenagers, we would address that, but we don't have any signals. we have to find them ourselves. we're using our contacts with regional players to find these teenagers and to rescue them. >> good luck with that. of course. wish i had more time to talk with you. >> my pleasure. >> meanwhile, arthel, the release of the top taliban commanders is pushing the prison at guantanamo bay back in

hamas has repeatly called for the kidnap and murder of israeli citizens. >> hamas hasn't claimed responsibility but it hasn't condemned the kidnapping either. >> netanyahu's statements are stupid. they are part of a secret service war. escalation against our people and against is palestinian leadership including the large scale detentions and harassments of our people in the occupied west bank. >> israel launched a widespread crack down and search, raising age are in the west bank. >> i was handcuffed and thrown outside with my family for hours. when we came back in the house was a mess. it was trashed. >> tensions rose in the streets as the crack down led to a death of a palestinian teen in the west bank while the families of the missing boys waited desperately for news. >> we're all in shock. i'm still in shock. like it hits me again and again and again like it's unbelievable. a kid coming back from school and he's gone. it's like unbelievable, the cruelty, i'm still in shock over and over again. >> the kidnapping comes just after long time rivals hamas and fatah come together. from technical

hamas is classified tads a terrorist group. hamas has killed countless innocent people. they have killed not just israelis they have killed other people too. if anyone reads their charter they will be surprised by the level of hatred and extremism, in that charter, you can see openly anti-semimettic statements and so forth. hamas has to be the called what it is. it is a ruthless brutal terrorist organization. >> never the less, it does leave you, israel, even more isolated. i don't think so. if you look at what is going on today, there's a growing concern about jihaddic terrorism. as you know people are very concerned about what happened in belgium earlier this week. and i think there's an understanding that we have to fight against these sort of religious extremists, these terrorists, and not acquiesce with them. >> the united states has been your best friend, since the formation of the state of dream, when your best friend says we are doing business with a group that you won't do business with, you realize you are running out of friends, don't you? >> first of all, eve

with the abduction of three jewish teenagers from the west bank israel's prime minister's accused hamas a faction of the newly formed palestinian government of kidnapping them a master denies that while a terrorist organization linked to isis we're talking about just now reportedly has claimed responsibility has told him right side to yuri's actually to comment on the story get his thoughts on it yuri thanks for being with us and already already the israelis have identified a big list of possible suspects a very big list is that a little strange. first of all i want to say that. personally and the whole country is anxious about the fate of those three teenagers . look i think what's going on right now is a combined effort between the israeli security forces and the palestinian security forces actually to try in and locate the whereabouts of those three teenagers. what is strange is that there is a. direct blame by the israeli government towards up in himself towards mahmoud abbas the president of the palestinian authority which to me sounds strange because if you blame the head of the f

and hamas objected to that and apes -- appears it agreed because the unity government is imminent andd it's important and should be under the unity government and not p.l.o. because it's important for palestinians and changing the way it is and turning it to the p.l.o.'s jurisdiction. it's a down grade. and for his part insisted it's an upgrade because the p.l.o. is the only palestinian body that has the authority to negotiate with israel and could use the issue of palestinian prisoners as a strong bargaining chip. analysis suggests that this suggestion was made by abas only because he came under international and western pressure to remove this important ministry from the national unity government because it makes israel feel uneasy and israel feels uncomfortable that a ministry that is in charge of palestinian prisoners whether behind bars or those released is part of a government that includes hamas and the israeli government sees prisoners as a threat to its security. >> and they manage to get over this very deeply held problem or belief if you like with regard to the prisoner's m

. >>> israel accuses hamas of kidnapping the trio. many palestinians have been arrested as the search intensified. >>> joining me from ramallah is jane ferguson. are more protests planned for today? >> there are more protests today, likely after friday prayers, because across the west bank, that is an provision that continues here. there was a youth killed, a 15-year-old near doura, a town near hebron. last night the israeli military seemed to focus those raids. these have been nightly raids since the three teenagers went missing last thursday. they seemed to focus on refugee camps in ramallah, bethlehem, and genin. tens of people were arrested. this campaign is focussed on hamas and its activists across the west bank. palestinians say that this is the most significant israeli military operation in the west bank for 10 years. because there is a likelihood of potential confrontations with the israeli military today. there has been some suspensions for palestinians who have permits to move into israel from the occupied west bank. they'l

is it -- west bank, is it driving a wedge between fatah and hamas? >> well, this issue is certainly going to put a lot of pressure on the fresh and fragile unity government that was formed last month between the two rive at palestinian groups. neither group are coming out and explicitly criticising the other yet. they are not naming the other in their statements. however, it's clear that tensions are rising. this will be one of the greatest challenges to the unity government, yet president mahmoud abbas gave a statement yesterday when in saudi arabia, and clearly felt under enough pressure to defend his position and fatah's position on this, which was that their cooperation with the israelis to find the missing teenagers was what was needed. he criticised in condemned the missing teenager situation, saying that those that took them. anyone that took them were damaging the palestinians, and called for them to be released and said they are, afterual, human being. that will not go down with hamas, who said anyone that approaches resistance, they are arm

a show of unity for the hamas members that have been arrested in the occupied west bank. israel sweeping arrests across the west bank is part of it's essential for three israeli teenagers have annoyed members of that unity government. but they seem powerless to do anything about it. >> i can't even tell what their mind. as we are a unity government. we just came in this position to serve our people, in that limited time like six months and after that he maz condemned the disappearance of the missing settlers and has called for restraint among the factions. but the israeli government says his words must be evaluated for the efforts to find the teenagers. it says the battle's real test is the dispanting of the agreement with hamas. >> it is obvious that israel is not interested in any kind of a palestinian consolation. in order to stop the process. >> hamas is neither denied nor claims responsibility for the disappearance, but it says it can only take what it describes as israel's aggression for so long. on wednesday night, two with rockets were launched from gaza into isra

, saying that hamas is responsible, hamas will pay. in response, where hamas is actually in charge, a spokesman talked to us a few hours ago. he said he wasn't inviting any israeli response but he did say that the whole story was, quote, propaganda. he didn't even believe it. he said israel was using it as an excuse to attack. and if they did attack they would responded to by more force by ha matio hamas than has evern seen. the united states condemns in the strongest possible terms the senseless act of terror against innocent youth. but then he went on to try to calm the situation saying, quote, i also urge all parties to refrain from steps that could further destabilize the situation. israel was hoping the u.s. would come out strong and suggest to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas, that they shouldn't do that, everyone is waiting for the response. >> nick schifrin, thank you. general motors plans to pay out millions of dollars for earlier recalls. and former secretary of state are hillary clinton. david schuster is up next with

hamas, he says, is responsible, and hamas will pay. hamas, the islamist militant organization which the israeli government has held responsible since fairly early on in this search and named two hamas members as suspects. an israeli security source i've spoken to this evening says that it's clear from the way this kidnap was carried out that the kidnappers acted alone. it's very difficult to see how they were following some order from the hamas high command. that is because the nature of the kidnapping of these three boys does not follow hamas modus operandi. they keep the hostages alive in the hope of exchanging them in the future for palestinian prisoners held in israel. in the case of these three boys, the evidence suggests that they were killed very shortly after their kidnapping. so it lends weight to the suggestion that this was not a kind of official hamas kidnapping, if i can put it like that. so the prime minister saying that hamas will pay, but it's difficult to see right now how israel will justify some kind of holistic acti

the israeli prime minister says hamas is responsible. an interesting development is the head of the palestinian authority your condemned the kidnappings, offered to help the israelis. hamas is not happy with that, calling it a poisonous knife in the back of our people. this? >> i think so. behind the scenes what we see is continuing cooperation on the part of the palestinian security services dominated by fatah. let's be clear about that. they have been working closely for years with the israelis and continue to do so, and would like to recover the three young men. what i think we see more broadly than that is politics op both sides. hamas does not want to support fatah in what it is doing. they don't see a political gain for themselves. at this point we don't know, i don't believe, who is behind the kidnappings, and the fact ta israelis are quick to blame hamas. so many counterterrorism problems around the world. the governments of the countries, where it's happening. if they don't take charge, it will be difficult to be the sheriff of
