commitment to israel.m our very first meeting here in the white house three years ago, you repeatedly made clear your commitment to help israel achieve peace with the palestinians and peace with the rest of arab world. mr. president, i share that commitment and i look forward to working with you to achieve a peace that will protect israel's security, provide the palestinians with dignity and their own national life, and improve israel's relations with the arab world. your peace plan advances all these goals. first, it addresses the root cause of the conflict. the -- and by insisting that the palestinians will finally have to recognize israel as the jewish state. [ applause ] second, it stipulates that israel will retain security control in the entire area west of the jordan river thereby giving israel a permanent eastern border. a permanent eastern border to defend ourselves across our longest border. this is something we've longed to have. we now have such a recognized border. third, your plan calls for h

israel must have sovereignty in places that an able israel to defend itself by itself and the enemy. for too long far too long the very heart of the land of israel where our patriarchs prayed our prophets preached and our kings ruled has been outrageously branded as illegally occupied territory well today mr president you are puncturing this big lie and and your recognizing israel sovereignty over all the jewish communities in judea and samaria large and small alike and. these as the distinguished pastors who are here know very well these are places inscribed in the pages of the bible these are places carved into the bedrock of our common civilization the sacred tune in her bone where the fathers and mothers of the jewish people are buried better where jacob dreamed of the latter ascending to the heavens should know where the ark of the covenant that held the 10 commandments for 10 sentry for 10 centuries for a story for centuries that's what happened in chino. thanks to you mr president these areas and so many others that for millennia have been searched in the soul of the jewish pe

israel must have sovereignty in places that an able israel to defend itself by itself. for too long far too long the very heart of the land of israel where our patriarchs prayed our prophets preached and our kings ruled has been outrageously branded as illegally occupied territory well today mr president you are puncturing this big lie. ah. you are recognizing israel's sovereignty over all the jewish communities in judea and samaria large and small alike. these as the distinguished pastors who are here know very well these are places inscribed in the pages of the bible these are places carved into the bedrock of our common civilization the sacred tune in for the bone where the fathers and mothers of the jewish people are buried better where jacob dreamed of a ladder ascending to the heavens should know where the ark of the covenant that held the 10 commandments for 10 century for 10 centuries for a story for centuries that's what happened in chino. thanks to you mr president these areas and so many others that for millenia have been searched in the soul of the jewish pe

done for israel i'm not surprised you have been the greatest friend that israel as ever had in the white house. or palestinian president mahmoud abbas calls transplant a conspiracy and says that no palestinian can accept the state without just mostly mystical slimmest capital. well i'm not shy and. in the announcement we did not find anything new compared to what we heard 2 years ago it is sufficient to say that 2 years ago we heard that there is a limb is the undivided capital of israel as claimed by them we cannot wait and wait and keep on waiting our position has not changed and after we had. we say no no no to the deal of the century. stephanie decker is in gaza with the palestinian perspective and harry foresaid has an israeli reaction from west jerusalem 1st though let's go to mike hanna who is in washington where of course that deal was announced. you know the deal hasn't been accepted by the palestinians it was very obvious from the beginning that it wasn't going to be accepted by the palestinians so why do you think that american president and the israeli and benjamin netanyahu

israel will be there israel would be prepared to negotiate peace right away. regardless of the palestinian decision israel will preserve the path of peace in the coming years for at least 4 years israel will maintain the status quo in areas that your plan does not designate as being part of israel in the future at the same time israel will apply its laws to the jordan valley to all the jewish communities in judea and samaria and to other areas that your plan designates as part of israel and which the united states has agreed to recognize as part of his will. i like. this is citizen will protect israel's security ensure israel's national interests and leave open the possibility of a political settlement with the palestinians in the coming years. mr president i hope the palestinians. embrace your vision of peace and grace the plan that you and your team. and us worked so hard to achieve i hope that they seize the opportunity offered by your sweeping economic plan i have read it it takes enormous talent to reject $50000000000.00 worth of investment i know what th

you're a star decisions to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital to recognize israel's sovereignty over the golan heights to reaffirm israel's legal claims in judea and some area to stand up to iran to pull out of that dangerous iran deal to confront confront is not the word to eliminate qassam stolen money. to support and encourage unbelievable cooperation between israel and the united states in the military and strategic and intelligence fields all those bare testament to the friendship and depth of your leadership and commitment to israel from our very 1st meeting here in the white house 3 years ago you repeatedly. made clear your commitment to help israel achieve peace with the palestinians and peace with the rest of the world mr president i share that commitment and i look forward to working with you to achieve a peace that will protect israel's security provide the palestinians with dignity and their own national life and improve israel's relations with the arab world your peace plan advances all these goals 1st it addresses the root cause of the conflict. the inside and it b

guns met mr trump yesterday and after his meeting flew back to israel so he's by now back in israel he's done can participate in the events taking place today in the white house jones did welcome the trump plan some elements of it but his the difference is that he believes that timing is a vest and that he there's no need to move on it right no and he asked mr trump to start looking it is dealing with the perhaps discussing it after the elections in israel on march 2nd the 2nd component his position is the fact that he wants to do it in cord nation with arab partners with countries or jordan egypt and others he doesn't want to go ahead in the next the jordan valley without having prior understand there's been agreement with the king of jordan for instance so he wants a coordinated move and he did not really address the specifics of it it's not clear where where he stands on particular and station of particular territory so we have to wait and see what his subsists specific position is shibley nor i just we thank you very northeasterly for that. gardner i would all due respect and before

israel is a light unto the world. the hartson history of our people are woven together -- the hearts and history of our people are woven together. israel is an ancient home, a sacred place of worship, and a solid promise to the jewish people we will never again repeat histories darkest hour. [applause] pres. trump: during my trip to with the also met palestinian president in bethlehem. i was saddened by the fate of the palestinian people. they deserve a far better life. they deserve the chance to achieve their extraordinary potential. palestinians have been trapped in a cycle of terrorism, poverty, and violence, exploited by those seeking to use them as pawns to advanced terrorism and extremism. i return from my visit to find a constructive path and it has to be a powerful path forward in the israeli-palestinian conflict. to further this effort i met with president abbas at the white house, forging peace between israelis and palestinians may be the most difficult challenge of all prior administrations, from president

well i think that president donald trump was not only addressing israel and the palestinians touring this these statements but of course he was also addressing keyspace here in the united states christian of and jelly because who support the state of israel and of course also influential members of jewish communities in the u.s. that president trump is hoping to win over from the democrats we have to keep in mind that we will have a presidential election here in the u.s. in november and of course president would like to be reelected so it's not only about international affairs and bringing peace and prosperity to the region but it is also of course about president trump and his reelection campaign alexandra for naaman with the view from washington thank you very much. and for our viewers who are joining us now at the top of the hour u.s. president donald trump has just unveiled his administration's peace plan for the middle east trump giving details of the plan alongside israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he calls for a 2 state solution including a palestinian state with its c

the head of israel. and now, therefore the laying out of the middle east peace plan, they have been holding events since yesterday, now, this is a very significant moment, we've been talking about how the piece has not happened in that part of the world, now for the president to be part of that and possibly leading it is a big moment, let's watch western trauma. [applause] >> president trump: thank you very much, thank you. today, israel takes a big step towards peace. [applause] >> president trump: young people across the middle east are ready for a more hopeful future, and governments throughout the region are realizing that terrorism and islamic extremism are everyone's common enemy. yesterday, i had the pleasure of meeting with both the prime minister of israel and a man that is working very hard to become the prime minister of israel, the longest running election of time. benny gantz of the blue and white party, both leaders joined me to express their support for this effort, proving that the state

weapon in the in the middle east but there is a big difference between israel and iran israel unlike you ron has never threatened to wipe out another country israel unlike iran is not using proxies all over the region to subvert the the regimes or for the countries actually trying to be the edge of one of the area israel unlike iran is not is not a signatory on the n.p.t. and the nonproliferation. treaty so i don't think that there should be any comparison between these 2 cases like you cannot compare apples to oranges of course. might say something else but as you say iran is a signatory the n.p.t. but i've got to ask you given me a putin is arrived for talks with president assad in syria do you think that moscow and beijing maybe looking on this and thinking you know like you just said israel is on the same side as iran against isis why can't these countries all come back together we of course would not be at all adverse to to changing the situation dramatically infects and i'm not speaking for the americans but it was president. trump who repeatedly said that he's willing to speak

the and thank during my trip to israel i also met. with palestinian president abbas in bethlehem i was saddened by the fate of the palestinian people they deserve a far better life they deserve the chance to achieve their extraordinary potential palestinians have been trapped in a cycle of terrorism poverty and violence exploited by those seeking to use them as pawns to advance terrorism and extremism i returned from my visit to term and to find a constructive path and it's got to be a very powerful path forward in the israeli palestinian conflict to further this effort i also met with president abbas at the white house forging peace between israelis and palestinians may be the most difficult challenge of all. all prior administrations from president lyndon johnson have tried and bitterly failed . but i was not elected to do small things or shy away from big problems thank you it's been a long and very arduous process to arrive at this moment on sunday i delivered to prime minister netanyahu my vision for peace prosperity and a bright

security today israel has taken a giant step toward peace now the deal would essentially give israel total control of jerusalem which the united states recognizes as israel's capital and it would facilitate the king of jordan who would basically be making sure that muslims remained able to visit the mosque and a holy site the usa would recognize a palestinian state when terrorism is renounced according to donald trump now other details of the plan are emerging it is being hailed as the longest proposal now when the israeli prime minister spoke he emphasized that it was a great deal for israel but he didn't seem to mention it being good for palestinians as trump mentioned this is what netanyahu had to say. it's a great plan proves rule. it's a great plan for peace frankly mr president. given all that you've already done cruise rule i'm not surprised and now in addition donald trump used the opportunity to defend his decision to withdraw from iran's nuclear deal as well as his decision to kill top iranian general qassam solomonic and he continued to emphasize his loyalty and commitment

israel has taken a giant step toward peace i hope that the palestinians and braces and build with israel a future of prosperity and peace i also hope that our other arab leaders embrace your vision and forge a path of reconciliation with israel. that can create for all of us a brilliant future palestinians will get a path towards their own state but only after 4 years of monitoring to determine whether their leaders are doing enough to fight what is termed as terrorism and there's no guarantee of their refugees right to return to ancestral lands palestinian leader mahmoud abbas called the plan a conspiracy but i'm not sure. that in the announcement we did not find anything new compared to what we heard 2 years ago it is sufficient to say that 2 years ago we heard the jerusalem is the undivided capital of israel as claimed by them we cannot wait and wait and keep on waiting our position has not changed and after we heard this utter nonsense we say no no and a big no to the deal of the century. well let's have a look at how israel expanded its share of land over the years more than 90 perc

israel hit back. launching a ground invasion and a series of air rights reaching as far as by which. more than 2000 people were killed most of them lebanese. the war also cemented has been a status as being one of israel's principal enemies. israel is faced with and is challenge by an army that is using those guerrilla tactics that's why i call it an army of thought. and it is a very well trained very well equipped. with my intentions only jeopardize the stability of the region and it may create a war between israel and lebanon on the state of lebanon on which has basically i-g. in the last couple of years israel has declared that hezbollah is the greatest threat facing israel so we're not talking about a conflict talking about syria or even iran but our non-state organizations such as there's now are perceived as the greatest threats was from the. united nations troops have been stationed in southern lebanon since $978.00 their mandate to guarantee peace and security in the contested region but it pr

cynical and aggressive move israel retains control everywhere israel agrees to take on itself not to do things that it didn't intend to do anyway like this question of jerusalem those neighborhoods which israel doesn't want to be part of jerusalem because it's put them on the other side of the wall it is magnanimously saying or the americans are saying on its behalf will be part of this new palestinian creation of jerusalem this is literally taking what peace looks like turning it on its head and turning it into a declaration. china has agreed to let the experts from the world health organization in order to help increase understanding of the corona virus outbreak the chinese president has told the visiting w.h.o. chief that he's confident of defeating what he described as a devil virus the death toll is supposed 130 with nearly 6000 infected australia has just announced it will help some of its citizens leave china province and quarantine on christmas island why in haiti is monitoring developments from hong kong we still have this remarkable situation of some 60000000 people under l

today israel takes a big step towards peace. young people across the middle east are ready for a more hopeful future and governments throughout the region are realizing that terrorism and islamic extremism are everyone's common enemy yesterday i had the pleasure of meeting with both the prime minister of israel and a man that's working very hard to become the primary minister of israel in the longest running election of all time. benny gantz of the blue and white party and both leaders join me to express their support for this effort. proving that the state of israel looking for peace and that peace transcends politics by any measure unimaginable that's what they want to a on my 1st trip overseas as president i visited the holy land of israel i was deeply moved and amazed by what this small country had achieved in the face of overwhelming odds and never ending threats the state of israel comprises only a miniscule amount of land in the middle east and yet it has become a thriving center of democracy innovation culture and commer

would basically give to israel. is there much of an incentive for the palestinians to continue to negotiate in the hope that if they exempt all that maybe they'd have a sort of cause i state still under israeli control in some areas and it will be 4 years later if the u.s. and israel are satisfied with the performance of the palestinian authorities you're asking people to negotiate with you here you have to hang on sorry phyllis let me give nobility chance to get in on this sure. 5 don't see really any any real opportunity for peace with the with this did duet of mr trump and mr knight the now so where does that leave you know what does that leave them have a certain alternative though if it were as robbie our guest here would say really nothing you're going to go backwards what what is the alternative from the palestinian perspective look we are 6 and a half 1000000 palestinians in that territory inside inside israel and the west and the west bank and gaza we are equal to the jewish up population in that area they

and israel can breathe new life into. look the only solution in my humble mind is the emirates solution which i designed by myself actually a solution which is based on the local clans in the arab cities of judea and samaria therefore we should we should establish 7 anyway into then summary of in jericho in the bone in. a loveless janine qalqilya and tulkarem in addition to any date which already was established in gaza which is another and this is the only solution because it is connected to the sociology of the region which is based on the claim why all these planes which failed in their policy will reject them are based on idea of nationalism which doesn't work in the middle east look at syria look at iraq look at yemen look at libya look at sudan all these are failures only because they tried to create nationalism from nothing. ever failed in the middle east just like the palestinian nationalism the only thing which works is like dubai abu dhabi kuwait qatar. all these emulates this is the only thing which your work h

it is principally because of american support for example shielding israel at the u.n. with the employment of veto more than on any other issue internationally and giving israel cutting edge technology unique support separate from the financial support that's important that's not critical what gives israel the control of the dominance technologically militarily is the fact the u.s. does give israel struck a logical lead so the fact that there is this a cemetery is of americans doing it isn't part israelis you have to give them credit they're both a very powerful army on their own but the cutting edge the dominance comes mostly for american support so right absence there is an american responsibility it's not just that you know you basically have to deal with this issue but there's america is implicated in this in a cemetery that we're using now as a bases and i you know i get that but let me let me just ask dan and you're a question you know building off of what you just said the thing that has always struck me about israeli politics is that there had been different win

the proposal also promises to keepjerusalem as israel's undivided capital. no palestinian officials were involved in the proceedings, and they have already rejected the proposals. our middle east editorjeremy bowen was at the white house announcement, and has this report. in the east room of the white house, it felt more like a party than a press conference. donald trump and benjamin netanyahu congratulated each other. their entourages clapped and whooped. as everyone knows, i have done a lot for israel, moving the united states embassy to jerusalem, recognising... applause ..recognising the golan heights. applause and, frankly, perhaps most importantly, getting out of the terrible iran nuclear deal. applause and now comes a document that attempts to seal israel's victory in a century—long conflict, which palestinians will read as surrender terms, not a peace proposal. it almost exactly replicates mr netanyahu's deepest beliefs about israel's security and its right to the land most of the rest of the world says is occupied palestinian territory. for too long

an olive branch but 15 years ago last monday he would be dead israel still continuing to violate un security council resolutions and in the past few days fighting has intensified between the so-called largest prison camp in the world gaza and illegally occupied israeli settlements israel's ambassador to london has not gone back to going underground and successive representatives have never been available for interview on this program joining me now from ramallah is senior palestinian official and former chief negotiator and prime minister of palestine neville shaath now bill thanks for coming on the program so the idea of says they attacked underground rocket launchers elite launching stations underground terrorist infrastructure and military forces of the islamic jihad organization your reaction to the renewed violence in gaza and the occupied territories and israel this is a pure cold blooded murder this is an assassination i mean this is this is not this is not a warfare this is a deliberate assassination of of people their homes. with them their wives their brothers their childr

done for israel i'm not surprised you have been the greatest friend that israel as ever had in the white house. a palestinian president mahmoud abbas calls transplant a conspiracy and says that no palestinian can accept the state without jerusalem as its capital. well i'm not sure and. in the announcement we did not find anything new compared to what we heard 2 years ago it is sufficient to say that 2 years ago we heard that there is a limb is the undivided capital of israel as claimed by them we cannot wait and wait and keep on waiting our position has not changed and after we had their nonsense we say no no no to the deal of the century. or we have correspondents across the region harry foresaid has the israeli reaction from west jerusalem stephanie decker is in gaza 1st though let's go to need that you bring him in ramallah need to of course the settlement expansion of illegal settlements in the west bank always a key sticking point to any kind of solution any kind of creation of a future palestinian state so just explain to us as far as the deal goes what would the impact be on the g

chose them remains the undivided capital of israel also the israel's west bank settlements would berecognized by the united states a number of points that favor israel how is this deal of the century as it's being called by netanyahu and president how will it be received in israel face. well i think by netanyahu supporters the vast majority of them it will be welcomed already we've seen the sensorites party blue and white led by benny gantz head of this unveiling approve and indorse this plan as a basis according to guns for a negotiated settlement in the future but there are a key things here which hugely in israel's favor this by all the talk from donald trump about having to do something big for the palestinians namely as you say jerusalem as israel's undivided capital at the same time as saying that eastern jerusalem in donald trump's words would be the palestinian state of a future certain palestinian capital of a future palestinian state in which a u.s. embassy could one day be built but does that really mean east jerusalem or does it mean an area outside a suburb of eastern j

transplant for jerusalem to be israel's undivided capital is already a nonstarter for palestine israel would also get ultimate control over security and most palestinian resources palestine would stay fully demilitarized and israel could destroy any facility for production of bound weapons palestine it would be barred from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without israeli approval bert said would get a $50000000000.00 aid package. palestine it would consist of the west bank and gaza almost entirely separated from each other they would be connected by roads represented by lines on the map and tunnels and bridges shown as circles here and most of which have yet to be built the us ambassador to israel claims it doesn't matter that palestine has rejected the deal right now. it doesn't matter what the palestinians say we're going to keep this option open for them for 4 years that's what we want israel is committed to negotiating a 2 state solution with the palestinians over the next 4 years even if the palestinians rejected in the short run. the palestinian state woul

this is due to be a new supply for let a welcome for israel's president and a warning for the future israel's reuben brooklyn addresses the point of stock to commemorate the victims of the holocaust and call for vigilance against resurgent anti-semitism. also coming up countries begin evacuating their nationals from the chinese city at the heart of the coronavirus outbreak and some airlines suspend their services to and from china. president trump on bail says mideast peace plan alongside the israeli prime minister in washington it would hand israel control of more disputed territory for one reason the palestinians immediately rejected it. plus a final vote to seal bread said as a european parliament prepares its vote on britain's of parcher from the blocked date of you catches up with a british member of the e.u. parliament to strive not to look back in anger. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us israel's president has addressed german parliament in berlin to mark 75 years since the liberation of the auschwitz death camp we've been rivlin attended a special session in

to individuals survivors of the holocaust live in israel. but he said. the president of israel he was wrong he discovered that in fact there was a deep commitment in germany a deep commitment to friendship and to lead to the fight in europe against against anti-semitism be praised germany for for taking the lead in europe in campaigns against. the semitism xenophobia. germany's involvement in trying to solve the refugee crisis john just briefly because we also have this week the 75th. anniversary of the commemoration of the liberation of auschwitz we saw that you know many of the survivors they are elderly it will soon be that they will no longer be able to tell their stories in person how do you think that that is going to impact these commemorations that we have been seeing all these years well i thought that was made this these commemorations very particularly poignant i'm sure you did too when you were watching them many of those people of course realize that these are the last commemorative sermon is that they will be able to attend and

israel -- that was israel strength. that's what it could do, it can be what it is by turning its back to the past. to what happened in the war. it was all about it's going to be a new country. my generation really which is the first generation is the new generation that will grow up -- of course there were wars our own wars, but without carrying the burden of the jewish past. and that's how we grew and it was actually very liberating. there is a price for that, there's a big price that becomes this neurotic country where you have symptoms that manifest themselves in different ways. also you go to the beach, and you party, and you don't really talk about what happens. i grew up in israel, i now know almost every home of my friends homes there were ghosts of dead. it's like toni morrison's beloved. there ghosts of dead parents, uncles, aunts, and sometimes a whole other family. children, their first wife, and nobody, nobody mentioned those people at all. now i think israel's actually changed in that regard a little bit. i

all come for israel's president and a warning for the future of israel's proven rivlin addresses the german parliament to commemorate the victims of the holocaust and call for vigilance against resurgent anti-semitism. thank god. i'm sumi some of it's good to have you with us. hundreds of foreign nationals are being evacuated from the chinese city of the epicenter of the corona virus outbreak more cases of the virus have been confirmed in china the death toll has risen to over $130.00 says its citizens who are being brought home will be quarantined on an offshore island at 1st some airlines including british airways have suspended all flights to and from china. for 206 japanese workers based in this was a most welcome return. a flight that brought medical supplies to the chinese province fighting to contain the coronavirus delivered them back to safety in japan the 1st of some 650 japanese citizens to be repaired tritt on hunger soil i spoke of the situation they were thankful to leave behind. because. i am sincerely relieved to have returned on this chartered flight and we're defini

done for israel i'm not surprised you have been the greatest friend that israel has ever had in the white house. a palestinian president mahmoud abbas calls trump's plan a conspiracy and says that no palestinian can accept the state without general slim as its capital. in the announcement we did not find anything new compared to what we heard 2 years ago it is sufficient to say that 2 years ago we heard that there is the undivided capital of israel as claimed by them we cannot wait and wait and keep on waiting our position has not changed and after we had. we say no no no to the deal of the century. or stephanie decker any to abraham and ramallah with the palestinian perspective or harry force that has the israeli reaction from west jerusalem 1st though let's go to mike hanna in washington michael the scene over the years we've seen a lot of potential peace deals or potential peace plans come and go what would you say is different about this one. well it's different in terms of its extreme favor billeted towards israel is what most observers would contend very much based on the plan

given all that you've already done through israel. i'm not surprised donald trump considers himself to be an expert negotiator he boasts about his bestseller the art of the deal however it seems the strategy he's employing here is rather unique draw up a plan without including any input from one side and then declare victory before anything has even been signed. was accused of siding with israel after reversing decades of u.s. foreign policy he recognized jerusalem as israel's capital moving the american embassy there and approved israeli settlements in the west bank considered illegal under international law we discussed trump's latest proposal with middle east experts from different sides of the conflict. you have to understand that's the issue between the israelis and the palestinians he ran a whole campaign he's going to put america 1st all he's doing is trying to incite more division more problems and more chaos in the region any peace plan cannot be one sided if it was a true plan he would be sitting with both presidents of both

prime minister argues is necessary for security israel must have sovereignty in places that an israel to defend itself barred. but absent from the white house announcement palestinian leaders discussions on trucks middle east proposal broke down in 2017 following the move of the us embassy from tel aviv trump announced he sent a letter to palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas outlining a 4 year timeline for recognition and implementation of his plan president obama. us i want you to know that if you choose the path to peace america and many other countries will leave we will be there we will be there to help you in so many different ways and we will be there every step of the way i wanted to ask you about something but in an exclusive interview with al jazeera trump son in law jared cushier said what isn't helpful to the palestinians future is the palestinian authority would rather go in and complain as opposed to come to the table and negotiate which quite frankly shows that they're not ready to have a state if you're ready to have a state and you don't call for days of rage

donald trump and israel's prime minister stand united on a middle east plan that will see israel and its large parts of palestinian territory. under this vision jerusalem will remain israel's undivided very important undivided have i there were no palestinian leaders at the white house and on the ground the plans provoked anger and protests . alarms the whole rommany watching al-jazeera life my headquarters here in doha are also coming up lawyers for the u.s. president finished their opening arguments in his impeachment trial rejecting calls for a key adviser to give evidence. and we visit the front lines of libya's civil war as forces allied to the tripoli government try to repel an offensive by walt khalifa haftar. back into the program u.s. president all trump has revealed his plan to end the israeli palestinian conflict with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu standing beside him it's billed as a 2 state solution but under it israel will immediately and its large parts of the occupied west bank and the jordan valley while the palestinian state only comes into existence aft
