the nation of israel is alive, and the state of israel is its beating heart. my friends, for way too long, israel was defined by wars with our neighbors, but this is not what israel is about. this is not what the people of israel are about. you see, israelis don't wake up in the morning thinking about conflict. israelis, like everyone else, want to lead a good life, want to take care of our families and build a better world for our children, and that means that from time to time, we might need to leave our jobs, say goodbye to our families, and rush to the battlefield to defend our country. just like my friends and i had to do ourselves from time to time. they should not be judged for it. israelis remember the dark wars of our past but remain determined to look ahead, to build a brighter future. distinguished delegates, there are two plagues that are challenging the very fabric of our society at this moment. one, of course, is the coronavirus, which has killed over 5 million people around the globe. the other has also shaken the world as we know it, and it's t

in all cases, israel has to choose. these are the options, and israel has to choose. ladies and gentlemen, international law stipulates the right to a free and dignified life and calls on states to take the necessary measures to protect and secure this right. that protection constitutes an indispensable and decisive element for the maintenance of peace, security, stability, and development. in this regard, i call on secretary-general antÓnio guterres to work on the basis of relevant united nations resolutions of protection, including the resolution adopted during the general assembly emergency special summit held in june 2018, entitled "uniting for peace." i call upon the secretary-general to take all the necessary steps toward developing an international mechanism for protection as foreseen in those reports of august 2018. and i call upon him to activate this mechanism on the borders of the occupied state of palestine. , including east jerusalem, the borders of 1967. in parallel and accordance with the aforementioned resolution, i call upon the secretary-general to c

and afghanistan might be a season to undermine israel. but i don't think there is any debate in israel whether we are going to always look up to america, always going to be aassociated with america becaue america is something beyond such a country something of an idea that america presents for many countries in this club of nation and that's the reason why we all as the state and the well-being of america and domestically to see these elements that you get to see, this is not something that we feel comfortable about it is your debate in your society but remember we all have a decision that was done many, many years ago we are part of this nation that is led by america and i don't see this in the near future any change of this concept of debate. >> what about a debate about managing the relations of the americans. former is is really ambassador the united states and distinguished historian he wrote an article out of a magazine and i am sure you saw it. responding to the funding for the iron dome decision not to include it in the funding bi

i am glad the united states has a strong bond with israel. but the united states cannot give money it does not have, no matter how strong our relationship is. the united states is approaching $30 trillion in debt. our out-of-control spending added $3 trillion to the debt just in this fiscal year. a day of reckoning is coming, sooner than you think. interest on the debt will be larger than what we spend on national defense in just a few years. in the debt weakens us to the point where we have difficulty funding our own military needs, how can the united states continue to be a reliable ally to israel? getting our fiscal house in order does not mean we are failing to support israel. far from t the billion dollars under consideration today is on top of the more than $1.6 billion the u.s. has already given for iron dome, and that's not all. the u.s. destroys -- the u.s. provides israeli with $4 billion in aid an iually. in addition to iron dome, the u.s. has helped israel fund other missile defense systems as well. we spent $2 billion on david's

when it comes to israel i don't think you see a major debate. now it doesn't mean that we don't have enough room with many other issues. at the end of the day it's a well-known debate between america and israel. it further asks how many are owned and managed. question number two, when we would like american companies to compete. they are doing this infrastructure enterprise and their ability when america is going to more and more dealing with its own countries it is very relevant. the way that you can express the united kingdom and australia. >> let's imagine that you are and looking at from jerusalem and eastward do you think they regard india as the more strategic relationship at this point than china and how is it understanding its relationship against the background of china? >> i think india is key. the more we and power countries like egypt, i think we create in many places during my time as the director general to look at those to some extent the opportunity for the well-being of this club of nations that we all associate with. those mode

in garza, the does he, a doctrine has been consistently practiced by israel. in other words, it has made it part of its policy to engage in disproportionate responses to what it believes to be provocation. i do think that israel's attacks against residential buildings against media targets against health care facilities and the gaza strip, did help to shift you us public opinion against israel, because it was a very dramatic in very visible affirmation of war crimes. the israel was committing that was played out in real time over social media over the news outlet . i. i never heard the united states criticize about a job building of what i know kids unit, the usual air gays and the information that they're required about the hamas structures that they have on the building. and from what i know they get, they get it. but i don't need, i don't need that to her about this news. i know. i know because i know my know the i d f and i was serving in the idea if we will never hit any target or any infrastructure that we, we don't know for sure that there it's used by

october on al jazeera, a. israel's military operation in may 2021 against the gaza strip. bombed and destroyed a number of tower blocks. these were high rise building with both residential and commercial use. these railey authorities claimed the buildings were being used for military purposes by her mass, the palestinian fruit, which governors garza ah, a minimum of a rattle of formula. the foss hope of the magician is law alien will have been obliged to valley how. what yet that the stiff democrats get, he and them up the hospital, which i know how they know a year that he should have cut in on the cost of the home. because with this can be, what should it get bill internet at the edge of the line, and we'll have the, our yet to start them is to come out that's got a year campaign. can addition to slightly stick them on average formula into the 2nd had that don't have that a brofy buckle bush? did he one of the, one of the most important aspects of the principle of proposed proportionality, is the test that asks whether the same goal can be achieved with a more targeted, more focuse

israel. israel engaged in several provocations, are prior to any rockets being directed to or from garza to israel. those provocations involve the evictions from shake ciara neighborhood in the east jerusalem. and then the were the right wing demonstrations, given police protection in israel that marched through east jerusalem neighborhoods and shouting slogans to the effect of death to the arabs and very provocative for leading to palestinian resistance. and. and then finally, and perhaps most importantly, the entry israeli security forces to the oxer compound and mass. in the last days of ramadan, interfering with the worship in this place that is considered as sacred side. as paul's of this operation is rarely warplanes bombs and destroyed for talib blocks in kansas city, what palestinians lived and businesses were based these towers were in garza's busy remodeled neighbourhood. raymond is a commercial district and a residential area with media organizations and international agencies also

early israel be much worried about that. the israel denies it as well. and boris jones, when you mentioned the i c, c, investigation, boys, johnson is clear and says that is an attack on israel. the i c. c, the independence of the i. c. c is very important and i don't think politicians should intervene. what judges, this court was established exactly for issues like ours. so war crimes are prosecuted. the war crimes or criminals are held accountable. so if the prime minister or johnson has an issue with this, i think he may have issues with international legality. i mean, it's not just about johnson and joe biden. the united states also says the i c. c has no jurisdiction. it's very unfortunate and extremely unfortunately somebody, those of the so called free world the for the very same countries that established these laws. and these conventions, and these courts would doubt it's legitimacy and its independence. and its relevance is, is extremely unfortunate. and i believe this is, this goes beyond power stuff. this is about this kind of wall. we want t

who is an israel lobbyist? you know, in the united states, she, out of the democrats, given $10400000.00 per day. so the israeli state. so of course, these are massive, massive limitations that we're talking about. the palestinians will liberate themselves. of course, it would be helpful if the united states and britain consult collaborating in their suppression and oppression. and you know, the vital point at the end of the day. ready is for us here in the esper and in the rest of the world is the plant seats for trees that we might not sit in the shadow . because while they say that resistance is futile, we say no resistance is foot. so. now, sticking with that celebrity activism angle, i want to share a recent behind the scenes conversation between me. okay. and a panel of activists family wanted to know if they could pick one celebrity activists to work with. who would it be? not about this a lot and i think for i would be james bond that you know, i think of her as truly someone who embodies celebrity, tha

facilities and the gaza strip, did help to shift you as a public opinion against israel. because it was a very dramatic and very visible on affirmation of war crimes. the israel was committing that was played out in real time over social media over the news outlet . i. i never heard the united states criticize about a job building. i've, what i know is unit the euro or gays and the information that they're required about the hamas structures at the have the building. and from what i know, they go over get it, but i don't need, i don't need that to her about this news. i know. i know because i know mine or the idea if and i was serving in the idea if we will never hear any target or any infrastructure that we, we don't know for sure that they're, it's used by the hamas, or by any to your organization or solidarity to push for an end to the violence avenue to 900 march through downtown chicago as the bloody conflict in the middle east. chicago coalition for justice in palestine rally or hadn't been exposed. it's been supposed downtown to and i brought thousands of people ou

to israel. and you know, there's been a fall out and i just want to know from you. i mean, for as much as we've seen a shift amongst the squad and not just the squad but others, what is the cost? i mean, why would alexandria, cardio court has both present when she's criticized other colleagues for doing the very same thing. you know, i'm not here to speak on behalf of a l. c. i think she has spoken on her own behalf and has tried to explain her position and to be clear, i'm not going to always agree with a c or l hahn or rashida or ma moment or many others that we consider to be in the squad. what we're seeing here is people committed to a long term game. i do not believe that we are going to shift u. s. foreign policy on palestine within one congressional. busy kind of session, it's going to take long term work, but what we have seen is that for those that worry that palestine could potentially hurt their careers. we've seen it actually help. in other instances jamal bowman, he literally be one

and then we had the obstacle of israel, v to again. yeah, i mean, you know, you know what, how some people or somebody will know, even in the and you might have seen the un security counselor talking about palestine the other day. they said that your foster people are cooperating with israel in coordinating assassinations. they talk about needs are by not abducted on the 24th of june, 42 injuries inflicted with metal pipes. well what is going on here is, is you are, is my, with a bus in with israel against the palestinian people. i don't accept this question because you need to hear those are your prime minister only a few days ago in washington and in the new york. when he said he will never ever meet president a bus because a bus is going to provide a guest district. and he is, you know, this kind of talk does not look, did you guys kill them? mistakes happen. the incidence was very unfortunate. the palestinian already took responsibility. there was investigation, the 14 soldiers or, you know, police policeman, rest of them were actu

, but i don't like what israel's doing. and i have these conversations with them. they to have been fed a long narrative and now they're at a place where they can't deny reality. so when now you have organizations like bits felon who's calling israel the part i'd state, right. you're having groups like human rights watch, put out reports of hundreds of pages of why israel is in apartheid state. right. having more members of parliament in the u. k. and other european nations including here, of course in congress, calling israel and apartheid state, calling it ethnic cleansing is really starting to get to a point where a lot of our jewish allies and even those who are not, you know, super right wing zionists, but consider themselves to be what they call progressive zionist to say, wait a minute, i can't really put my name on this, right? yes, this is, this is apartheid. this is not route what we support. and so that's why this, this conversation is important. then the reckoning is happening amongst a lot of these jewish organ

with israel has understood that it's legal arguments are not persuasive. so they've tended to attack the, the person or the institution prince and say, called b i. c, c decision, pure anti semitism. a in a rather than saying it was wrong for legal grass, they didn't bother with the argument. and the same thing in my experience sake, they want to wound the messenger rather than deal with the message. because their arguments are too weak now, and that's why i've been saying that the palestinians are winning the legitimacy war their, their grievances are gaining more public support and understanding. ah then israel's proper propaganda, even though it's heavily subsidized and all kinds of ideological support, it's losing ground, an alley, a pain in a lot or thought. and yet the only in him sailor with a mac and us hub, had he oblige, will have in my 2nd eligibility at the called the amount you had the only year membership fee in we'll say at him it an oddity letter, lambert, capital, i'm the other lehman for general maxima over a year, and one of the, of, of,

i gave an example in the case of israel.nese come knocking and they have an offer and there is no counteroffer the americans are there to say no. i don't like that there is a ready-made answer i say the same thing about yahweh it is a one-stop shop for 5g but a clear package they can offer to compete with huawai. so what are the key areas the us has to have those prepared packages. >> i think america needs to create more coalition. summit to be the gentle man to run the business. >> so america is not just a country and its what so many countries looked up to. so if we understand that now it comes from primarily technology, let's work on technology and on semiconductors with the g6 and then create a coalition for each of these technologies and then to provide and support and guarantee the security of the future at the end of the day will have that strategic approach so for other countries to come to do the job that one in hanoi and one in jakarta you name it. it is a great place you have a lot of options that need to be utili

government made to israel. we have an opportunity to rebuild the iron dome shield, to support the security of our most important ally in the middle east, and to save lives, but we must take action right here and right now. so, mr. president, as if in legislative session, i ask unanimous consent that at a time to be determined by the majority leader, following consultation with the republican leader, the senate proceed to consideration of calendar number 140, h.r. 5323, that there be up to two hours for debate, that upon the use or yielding back of time, the bill be considered read a third time and that the senate vote on passage of the bill, with no intervening action or debate. the presiding officer: is there objection? mr. paul: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from kentucky. mr. paul: reserving the right to object, as we speak, the taliban is gaining control, has control over most of afghanistan. they're brutalizing women, kicking children out of school. women will no longer be participating

her being a moral compass as far as israel is concerned in europe. and she talked about germany not being neutral on israel in the middle east. are talking about the support for what she called a jewish and democratic state. so i think there was some wished to make her something of a farewell visit, although it's been talked about from the german side as a working visit. which in turn means that she doesn't have to meet the lead of the opposition. prime minister netanyahu with whom she's reported to have had a pretty touchy relationship as for the, the other side of this issue, the palestinians. and there hasn't really been much of an opportunity even to talk about that. i mean, chancellor merkel did say that she continued to support a to see the 2 state solution as she has of course, criticized israel on settlement construction and other things. but from any palestinian leaders for human rights groups. and cios, for instance, human rights watch to day. it was talking about the fact that a beyond just criticizing settlement construction, she should b

germany and israel have long had a strong relationship.bviously there is a historical basis and sensitivity in germany towards israel because of the holo holocaust. but that relationship is being seen as having strengthened under angela merkel. this is her seventh visit to israel, the first german chancellor to speak at the knesset, and proclaimed on the world stage that israel national security was a top priority for german foreign policy. during her tenure germany outlawed symbols, for example of the militant group hamas, and invested a lot to combat anti-semitism. that doesn't mean she never criticized israel, especially when it came with the relationships with the palestinians, she was known to have butted heads with the former prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, especially as he sidled up to right-wing leaders in the union. a priority of her meetings will be a return to the 2015 iranian nuclear deal. israel has long opposed the iranian nuclear deal, and a return to the deal, although the israeli leadership's tone has softened in recen

and among those misconceptions the most damaging one was israel is a very dangerous country. when i tried to promote japanese direct investment, the biggest stumbling block i encountered was that many japanese companies simply demand their employees to israel on safety grounds. this attitude of contracted chaperoning with many multinationals such as google continue to operate even during the occasional flare along its borders. equally damaging was the preconception that doing business in israel will harm the business prospects of our countries. again, as i studied the changing landscape of the region i realized that the notion was rapidlybecoming obsolete . even before abraham accords which was signed a few years later. but the reality was that among japanese business leaders, the memory of the breakdown in the 70s were unheard. i found these preconceptions veryunfortunate because the more i got to know the country , the more i was convinced i became the two countries could develop unusually complementary partnership. so the mystifying these obsolete notions became my biggest

an israel with a network of roads, transportation that has access to electricity and water. and it has also prevented past indians from accessing their lands. we're not just talking about the built up area, but the whole mountain has been off limits to palestinians who own agricultural lands there. now in wednesday, the meeting there are 2. it is really outposts that have been approved by this meeting. it means that sometimes settlers decide to put up caravans, but they are not approved by the government. but many of them we've seen across the years were did through actively, later on, approved and recognized by the government. although in the meantime they are acts as they have access to infrastructure and services. when it comes to the palestinian authority, it condemned it. new is settlement building and said that all settlements are considered illegal under international law, urging the international community to intervene. and israel is continuing to raise and historic muslim cemetery in the occupied east. jerusalem. officials say the construction won't affect the grave

after that, israel is expected to allow vaccinated russian citizens without entry being tested . for prior to the pandemic, russians made up a significant portion of tourists arriving in israel, secondary to americans. we spoke to the tourism director for israel, who tells us that it will do every thing to get russian haunted. make his back from tours. and finally, i can tell you that there is more than 250000 israel l is that a part of the tourism cluster, a east and west euros. i'm as well. and he has been an amazing damage to their economy and to the local businesses. and we will do everything in our hands to make sure that tourist, especially from russia, will come back. he got a phone call from a russia a tour. rager is and slight companies that they already wanted to book. so i think again, tension the atmosphere, is there, tourism from rush injuries right is the 2nd one is it is a nice destination, a after united states of america a. so i think that's when you take all in that in consideration. it's not so much there to learn the car based or about a day overall, a relatio

is in when it comes to israel. oh there's no doubt that, that, you know, for these railey, it's kind of it's, it's a no risk proposition, right? if they can get away with it. great. if there's pushback, how significant is that pushback going to be? is it going to be like what we've seen with the evictions in jerusalem? there's a lot of outrage in alarm, but at the end of the day nobody does anything to to try and push it back, in which case they will feel comfortable in going forward. i think for the biden ministration and for your p and government, this is a very dangerous threshold that is being crossed. because if you shut down what essentially amounts to all of the existing human rights defenders and in the occupied territories, then you open the way for massive repression that will go completely unnoticed, undocumented. and of course, no chance of accountability. so this is a very dangerous line to get crossed because if there's nobody there to keep an eye on these sorts of bi elation, then we can expect them

since israel controls all access to the area need abraham reports. after 23 years of waiting, israel has allowed amount had left to change his address from the gaza strip to the occupied west bank. now he can move freely in the west bank without fearing he could be sent back to gaza. although i was born and raised in the west bank, his fathers originally from gaza. so that means his official documents list garza as his place of residence. and he needed in his really approval to change that. his wife laina is also from gaza, but she has not yet received an approval to change her residency to the west bank. and if she crosses to gaza, she won't be able to return to her husband in the west bank. they did that and i was very happy for him, but was sad for myself. it's been 6 years since i last saw my family and garza or hm. as i can now travel outside the west bank. i want to go see my mother. she lives in jordan and we haven't been able to see each other and probably up all the palestinian interior ministry processes requests for i d. 's and passport. b

johnny: comenzamos "más noche" con israel jaitovich. israel: buenas noches.ue ser gracioso y no lo fue. >> de verdad es una villana. johnny: en la radionovela de "más noche" rodrigo murray. israel: "el antiguo y pesado portón se abrió y más que un rechinido,

i knew from my own experience, israel is a kind of country unless you go visit.unately, during my time visited israel twice each time he was accompanied by high level business litigation. i believe these visits by ceos of leading japanese countries contributed significantly to the change in corporate mindset and the led to the dramatic development of business partnership in recent years. during the period between 2015 and 2017, which roughly coincides with my tenure there, the number of japanese countries operating in israel increase by 70%. the japanese investment registered a tenfold increase. i hope my effort played a modest role in that development. just a minute i am having a problem with my ipad. okay, here i go. as you know i took up my post early last year. when i did that i was faced with a completely different challenge. exist in the world today need to find any closer exchange than the one that exists between japan and korea. in 2018, 10 million people traveled between the two countries. yet at my first conference upon arrival at the airport, summarize

i can tell you that there is more than 260000 israel. he's got a part of the tourism cluster, a east and west euros. i'm as well. and he has been amazing and damage to their economy and to the local businesses. and we will do everything in our hands to make sure it gets worse, especially from russia. we'll come back, we've got a phone call from a russia a tour. rager is and live companies, death day, already wanted to book. so i think the game tension the atmosphere is there, tourism from rush injuries right is the 2nd one is it is a nice destination africa united states of america a. so i think that's when you take all and back in consideration is not so much that an army called by about i did overall a relationship between the communities and here in israel and back to rush on a 28 minutes pasta. i've saw a lot so far. my name is kevin. oh and thanks for watching our channel. our t international. ah. hey folks. next up we've got nick, go towards your their law. good italian boy. and he's on the walking dead show and branching out all o

how are infection rates in israel and has the delta i rates in israel and has the delta variant had at had a lot of impact? tue: delta variant had a variant had a lot of impact? tte: delta variant had a huge variant had a lot of impact? "tte: delta variant had a huge impact. variant had a lot of impact? t'te: delta variant had a huge impact. now because of mainly the booster campaign and other measures that i quoted such as testing, the green pass, masks, et cetera, we saw reductions injust pass, masks, et cetera, we saw reductions in just a few weeks ago we were at about 10,000 cases per day will dash—mac notice about 3000 cases per day and the positive tests went down to about 15% and now we see some reduction in the new cases of ventilated people and we still have a very large number of patients, especially young patients who didn't get the booster were not vaccinated so the strain on the system is quite high but on the other hand we didn't get into lockdown, we open schools with a system of weekly testing and hopefully we will find direction. covid it's notjust about the cases, it

now when it comes to this strike, this time, prisoners say that israel is affecting the way prisoners. specifically, those from atlanta to had are dealing with their live inside prison and organizing their life. they are and this has been one of the demands that was met in previous hunger strike. the us secretary of state is said to meet the foreign ministers of israel and united arab emirates on wednesday. they are expected to discuss their progress in strengthening relations. the u. e. along with a few other nations began normalizing ties with israel last year was in jordan has moved from washington. well they're going to be a couple of a bilateral meetings as the secretary of state, antony blinkin will meet with his israeli counterpart. mr. lockheed. and then he will also have a separate meeting with his i am radi counterpart, then they'll have a trilateral meeting, all 3 men in the same room. they're going to be discussing of the raft of issues confronting middle eastern countries. everything from the political and economic instability in lebanon to the ongoing, a civil war inside

s. israel partnership to advance the goal that i, that i mentioned, we will work closely with israel deep in our diplomatic ties with the palestinians, and consult with partners in the region and beyond to have a common interest in supporting efforts to advance lasting piece. and as i said in may, we'll be moving forward with the process of opening a consulate as part of deepening those ties with the policy. also, jordan is lie that the us state department for us and roseland, when the truck administration decided to move the embassy from to levine to jerusalem. obviously there was an outcry among the palestinians. so what reaction and what is behind? i guess this decision by the us now to open a consulate. well, really, the big question now is almost 5 months after 1st deciding that it was going to re open the conflict. she was served palestinians and to engage with palestinian officials. why hasn't the united states dumb so, and that was really driving the question at wednesday's press conference. the secretary of state made this announcement back on may 25th, but it would certainl
