i believe that what israel has done isn't a front to that. yeah, i mean, i mean to tyra is a big jewish. yeah. there's quite a jewish community, entire run. they oppose israel, the 91 that has not one that has not that one, that not one that has freedom because nobody in iran has has to freedom. well, what could happen? i got given a rep and it was gonna have a big argument about what freedom means, of course. but in a run, the very at this point of, if you want to protest against the government, right? actually talking about protests against the government, what have you made of the fact that the whole visas, full protest is for foreign students who are going to be it may affect your university. they're going to be deployed. and of course the use of tear gas and violence against protest is in your country. about god's yes, i mean it, that there's no question that there's been growing amounts of repression even under started under vitamin. but it's escalated under trump of protestors who support policy and rights and um, and so its gotten wor

so they've purchased a 6130 millimeter munition systems from israel, for 2700000 round israel in general with a huge supplier of munitions. so the a potted states, an additional option has been obtained for the purchase of $14000.00 white fos for shells from the mid 19 seventy's. so that africa was, it was trying to talk to the left wing government as a nearly independent angola. in 1976. so they're freaking 5 minutes to join voice the visited israel, made speculation. the countries were working on the steel. if you look at the amounts of weapons being bought around the 1000000000 us dollars from the seventy's . since the eighty's by the a potted states, actually credible inflows of money and somebody is really economy just when they need it. and so just from a demand perspective, that's an important relationship. but then of course, there's the secondary benefit to both states, which is the kind of co creation of weapons technology. so there's a flow of funds happening. but there's also a flow of expertise that the of potted data is able to use is really tech, to build a weapons technol

israel to criticize israel. and they do countries as seen as anti semitic. even if you are a jewish and jews around the world have been at the forefront of opposition to the genocide, being jewish off to the destruction of gaza, a reckoning is a new volume from professor peter by not editor at large of jewish cards. he joins me now from new york as professor by not. thank you so much for coming on. you say in the new book it's about the storage used tell themselves to block out the screams. were in the week of a jewish holiday. to be sure that if i pronounced that correctly one month from something go pour him. tell me way right about the grim and it's a relevance to the gaza genocide. sure. so i'm pulling the edges, read the book of esther from the hebrew bible and the book of esther is the same story. it's the story of the story and in in persia, in which a, this figure called haman tries to organize a genocide, a destruction of the, of the jews. and that's usually the way the story is told. certainly in the u

plenty of celebration in israel.ing those images of the the hostages being released, but also plenty of concern over their condition. >> no doubt about it, this was quite a different scene from the one that we have seen over the last four releases of israeli hostages from gaza. yes, there was that wave of relief that washed over people here as they saw them emerging alive after 491 days of captivity. there were cheers. there were applause as they saw them. but then there were also pained looks of concern on the faces of so many here, as they saw the condition in which these three men seem to have emerged after 15 months of being held by hamas. all of them looking quite thin and relatively frail. i think the most shocking one was eli sharabi in terms of a before and after of what he looked like before he was captured and kidnaped from his home in kibbutz be'eri on october 7th. and how he looks today as he is being released. he has clearly lost an enormous amount of weight during his time in captivity. we also know tha

america and israel. israel has no better friend than america.sident trump's leadership, and america has no greater friend than israel it's a meeting of the minds and hearts. mark: president trump comes into office he sees what took place before i don't to drag you into our world sees what's taken place before with weapons -- being withheld other things taking place. and he seems to say i'm going to turn the page on this. >> he did right away. mark: i know bb netanyahu you two are friends. you have the same principles and he acts immediately, right? >> instantaneously what he did in the first two weeks is to -- to do everything that he promised to do. he did great things in the first term he recognized our capitol moved american embassy there, the recognize our about sovereignty and got out of the disaster iran deal. brokered the abraham accords made peace for four arab states in four states in 25 years. so he was a great leader then but he started now the second term, you know, he had the topic right so he got from the delivery of weapons that w

and israel does not want that. i do know what the scale of the damage might not compared to the devastation in gaza . that's many a wondering if it's roles will post in gaza, only to resume in the pied west bank. how many hagey? how to 0? sir, how many we heard there in that report from how many to haji all about what's going on or the occupied was thank you. and i have spoken on many occasions over the course the past few years about those rates that happened all the time in the occupied west bank by the is really military. i, on many occasions have been and several of those refugee camps be at north shelves . doors cut them other areas as well in the occupied west bankruptcy and how those rage, even before october 7th, had become part of the fabric of daily life. i want to ask you if you believe now that the goal for the israelis, when it comes to the occupied westbank is going to be annexation going forward. the quick answer is yes, and this has been the goal of these really is since 1917. when the balfour decla

then they are driven to the israel gauze. the border at a is really military base where they are given an identification check and initial medical and psychological evaluation. and they're re united with immediate family members there one or 2 people from their family there, then air lifted to a hospital in central israel where they will be re united with the rest of their family and then stay there for the next few days. and in exchange for these 3 is really meant a $183.00 palestinian prisoners will be released a $111.00 of them going to gaza 7 at which will be deported, leaving an exile outside of the palestinian territories. and $42.00 will be released into the occupied west bank. yeah. and on all those policy prisoners who we know are being released, do we have the details as to who the names are? i mean, a, the, a, the key prisoners were being released. we actually don't because the list of this really captives was given late, meaning that israel did not release the list of palestinian prisoners who will be released as

israel has to stop the war.re you concerned that this could impact and inflame regions in the country. >> i am very unhappy about these statements. they are inflaming the entire region. no one wants that. these statements about forcing palestinians out of gaza are not helping. anchor: do you think these statements are links to benjamin netanyahu's political survival? >> he has been doing that for some good reasons. he prioritizes his stability over the national interest. now it has been accomplished. hopefully it will be completed. whatever we do now is excepted. unfortunately there are many statements of many actions and many recommendations and many quotes made by the prime minister. anchor: the former prime minister of israel, thank you for being with us here on bbc news. >> thank you. anchor: while the eyes of the world are on gaza, there has been a dramatic escalation in violence in the west bank. it has put the occupied territory a state of emergency. israeli forces and jewish settlers are systematically o

they enjoy it even more so since israel's war on gaza. some say they have beats an hours before there really is. i don't a lot of i was summoned by these really intelligence interest of them. i was told no gatherings are allowed, no flags, no sports to sign a pledge. i can't give any interview, so it can't till 2 more. but i will tell you the joy is in our hearts. these men will now catch up on the decades they've missed the wall behind fox and return home to cities and towns. they may no longer recognize illegal is really supplements. expanding galaxy checkpoints multiply and is rarely rates intensifying. prisoners say they've waited a long time for this freedom, but it's incomplete. as long as they're under occupation, i haven't had you out. is there a good to go to honey monkwood? who's in guys a city for us? i'm. let's talk about one of the sticking points of this entire deal and that was something that possibly had would have meant that this prisoner swap, this cap to swamp to date may not have happened. this was a deliberate mobile

commitment to the security of israel. that was in important gesture on our part. of course i was happy to pass the security assistance funding when israel needed it the most. he and i speak regularly. we were honored to host my friend the prime minister in july for his historic fourth joint address to congress which tied for the record of all time. that showed the world israel is not alone and they won't be so long as we are governing here. today we discussed the partnership we have between these countries and i thank prime minister netanyahu for his unrelenting committed to making the region and the world a safer place amid really extraordinary challenges. what issues done in the past several months is a testament to what can be accomplished when we cannot let the enemy set the rules. as prime minister said tuesday at the white house winner when s see daylight between israel and the united states, they will exploit it and we all know that is true. that's why strong decisive leadership is so crucial in this time. president trump and prime minister netanyahu old un

israel's victory will be america's victory. we will not only win the war, working together we will win the peace. with your leadership, mr. president and our partnership, i believe that we will forge a brilliant future for our region and bring our great alliance to even greater heights. thank you. president trump: thank you very much, bi bi. j.d. vance, please, vice president, stand up. he's been doing a good job. he's been working very hard on all things but this in particular. we'll take some questions, please. yes, ma'am, goes, please. go ahead. yeah. go ahead. >> mr. president, can a normization deal with saudi arabia be achieved without the acknowledgement of a palestinian state, that question for you too mr. prime minister? and mr. president given what you said to gaza will the u.n. send troops to secure the security vacuum? president trump: they want peace in the middle east. it's very simple. we know their leader and their leaders very well. they're wonderful people and they want peace in the middle east. as far as gaza

as israel deliberately destroyed all means of life. here. you are supposed to been, donald trump's told reporters, there is quote, no rush to implement his plan to displace palestinians from gaza and take ownership of this trip. but he's doubled down again on the details. and any further deliberations on causes or time table for them to take over? no, no deliveries, it's been very well received wherever, basically the united states would view it as a real estate transaction. where will be an investor in that part of the world and no rush to do anything with need anybody there would be supplied and given to us by israel dale watch in terms of security, we're not talking about purchasing the grad or anything, but i think we'll the fact that we're there that we have an investment there i think would go a long way to creating fees. so we don't want to see everybody move back and then move out in 10 years. this has been going on for 50 years, much more than that. which is what is the stability that would be having us have that particular piece in

because at least in as far as domestic israel goes, it emboldens far right positions in israel. they would call that a transfer here. they're calling it relocation to help out the rebuilding of the gaza strip. um, i really never thought that i would hear an american president, at least the first time that he said that, say that he would send in u.s. capabilities, you know, like we, the u.s. should take it over. that has not happened anywhere in the middle east. that is very different. so i'm waiting to see what it actually means. i think before in the program, salma said it isn't a plan. it was a statement, but it definitely impacts the continuation of the negotiations because within prime ministers, the prime minister's government right now, the ones that are still in the government already one of the ministers has come out very strongly in support of this idea. this is not a mainstream idea, and that's going to impact domestic politics, which immediately impacts the agreement inside a government to continue with the hostage deal. and that's worrisome, to say the least. >> all

then, more hostages from israel released, but are talks stalling between hamas and israel as both sidesto set terms for phase two of the ceasefire this week? >> the president of israel is here, isaac herzog, along with incoming ambassador to israel, mike huckabee, as president trump floats the idea that the u.s. will own the gaza strip. while also putting the world on notice for more tariffs to come this upcoming week. >> i'm going to be probably meeting on that monday or tuesday, have an announcement, probably a news conference. but probably reciprocal tariffs where a country pays so much or charges us so much, and we do the same is. very reciprocal, because i think that's the only fair way to do it. that way nobody's hurt. they charge us, we charge them. it's the same thing, and i seem to be going in that line as opposed to a flat fee tariff. maria: coming up, deputy chief of staff stephen miller on president trump's constant new ideas the put america first and whether europe will pace a tariff reckoning this upcoming week. plus, president trump heads to the super bowl, the first sitt

he says israel's committed to the deal. how much as the movement is can, is committed to the deal, but we have to wait and see what happens because israel says how much is violating the ceasefire by holding the captive. but how much as it israel has been violating the cease fire for weeks by not allowing this very critical and vital humanitarian aid. all right, that's how it is here is how does the who live for us from i'm on jordan have to thank so much a long think is his a former consul general of israel in new york. he's joining us now from tel aviv. i want to, thanks so much for being with us on al jazeera, you heard our corresponding honda civic or what they're talking about. the fact that seeing this deal through to the end was never a guarantee that it's always been fragile. this cease fire. um, i want to ask you about your reaction to all the developments these past few hours and where you think this leaves the status of the seas. fine. so okay, that's so. so you basically know how much you asked about 3 separate q

south before israel's ground part of the ceasefire deal between israel and hamas. is not allowed by israel to report from inside gaza. 00:01:00,871 --> 4294966103:13:29,429 report from jerusalem. uk health minister andrew gwynne is sacked from the government for sending abusive messages on whatsapp. voting is underway in ecuador for a new president. whoever wins will be tasked with restoring security to the country. and one of the world's biggest sporting events returns to new orleans as the eagles take on the chiefs in the us super bowl. hello, i'm rich preston. corridor, which splits the territory in two. around 700,000 people fled south before israel's ground invasion following the october 7th hamas attacks in 2023. the withdrawal of israeli troops from the corridor formed part of the ceasefire deal between israel and hamas. the bbc, along with other international broadcasters, is not allowed by israel to report from inside gaza. 0ur correspondent, wyre davies, sent this report from jerusalem. carrying whatever they can, however they can, thousands of people made homeless by the

we're looking at israel. yes. they made this statement by the prime minister, almost threatening to resume the military activities and goes up yet to the prime minister. was very careful. and i mean these are really prime. and so it was very careful in choosing his was saying that if from us would not release the hostages, not specifying old hostages. and you're saying that because i'm also supposed to release 3 captives, that's what was planned. but then just a few days ago, you had the us president saying that this come off doesn't release all the remaining captives on saturday. that as well should cancel that it's up to as well, but that it should cancel the cx 5. and this is why the prime minister's comments are significant and very important, that is real actually is committed to its end of the deal by saying that unless they release the the hostages, which means that probably they would accept the 3 hostages. and what we are seeing now is that as well as acceptance that you the mouse or the existence of grou

tuesday was a waiting game as israel. so if you were to cabin a match to decide it's next move asked to have masses latest announcement on mondays, you remember the militant, the group declared, it's was postponing, saw today's planned hostage release until further notice accusing these remo, violating the grievance blocking, displace gavin's from returning north targeting those attempting to come back home, continue as tribes and failing to deliver a promise to any turing aid is always defense minister fired back almost immediately. whole during the military to prepare for a scenario. and by choose a form in a sense, in your home reinforce that sense, setting a firm and unmistakable deadline. it also does a not released by saturday news. the federal due collapses and the war resumes take a listen for the of we fully support president trump's demand for the release of our hostages by noon on saturday. and we welcome his revolutionary vision for god's us future in light of how mazda is announcement of its decision to viola

he's the longest serving prime minister it israel's history. and no matter what comes his way, he says that military pressure, in this case was the best way to bring back the captives until finally has had no choice but to enter into a deal. so there was pressure from the family members of captives. but now this pressure internally is going to be the key thing to watch out for, because are the members of his government going to leave? if he implements space to and phase 3, because they've said they're not going to, they are threatening to toppled the government to leave the coalition altogether. so there's a lot of moving parts here, despite all of that pressure and it's, and you all who maintains that israel is committed to the deal committed to bringing back the captive. but you also have to remember there were 3 goals for this deal to bring back the captives to the beach from us militarily and politically. and to ensure that the gaza strip no longer poses any sort of threat to israel. would. none of those goals have been accomplished. this i

that israel was sibling not able to defeat. and israel was basically put on the brink where it's military and society were incapable of taking more. and so if they are put, if the soldiers are sent back into gaza and there are serious military operations, this puts israel and in an extremely bad position. and with the combination of the weakness of the israeli military, despite all of the bombs it has and trump has resumed deliveries of and then also the weakness and total humiliation of jordan and egypt. and this is a, a recipe for, for a potential major, fundamental shift and even regimes collapsing in, in the west stage with the middle east. given what you say, does the cease fire deal as it stand, have a chance of surviving all this. then in your view, and i think with donald trump, it's so impossible to actually know what he's going to do. just part of the sort of the mistake that i think he tries to project. maybe you could call it a, a the, the madman theory, which is an old policy of richard nixon to be unpredictable an

cuz this to very much in line to go to israel for employment time. absolutely, the ties paid a fairly heavy price on october the 7th and in the country, the followed a number of times also died and broke it a tax on the lebanese border. but that has the to the toll of the coal went out recently from the israel government to get more work is back the tie governments very keen for them to return as well. we just heard from the labor ministry that press conference of the apple, the ties want to re negotiate the deal slightly with israel. they'd like to see more rights put in place to tie work is over there and the possibility of giving them better positions and just working on an agricultural positions on funds. but the truth of the matter is that the pay is just is considerably better than it is. here. we are with a tight work fall and the hey, whose desperately trying to get across to israel is an a middle aged man. and he's got a family 2 children, one age 9115. but he's prepared to go work this the 5 years straight because the monthly wage he gets o

mediators covered, and egypt intensify. efforts to find solutions after pressure from the us and israel to resume to and syria's new president forms a committee for a national dialogue that will discuss the country's political future. the nearly 3 years after russian troops invaded ukraine, us president donald trump says vladimir putin has agreed to immediately start negotiating an into the war and a 90 minute phone call between the 2 leaders. trump says his russian counterpart agreed to a long term settlement could be reached through peaceful means. trump is also spoken to ukrainian president, followed him as a landscape earlier trumps defense secretary, p techs have laid out americas proposal to end the war during a needle meeting in brussels. he says, joining the organization is unrealistic for ukraine. and keith should have banned in hopes of returning to pre 2014 borders. and we want like you, a sovereign and prosperous ukraine. but we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. chasing this, illusionary goal will only prolong

he says israel will hand the territory over to the us once lighting ends, even though israel has no legal authority to do so. how it official reports from washington dc. benjamin netanyahu on capital hill trying to win friends and unfreeze 8 asked if us troops would be needed to enforce peace and guys have a simple one more dense or no of these early prime minister's visit has been more dramatic than expected. standing at his side, donald trump suggested the us could take over, guys of officials tried walking it back. if palestinians left it would be temporary . the said, but that idea under caught by the president himself, posting on social media the gets a strip would be turned over to the united states by israel. at the conclusion of fighting, the palestinians would have already been re settled and far safer and more beautiful communities with new and modern homes in the region. they would actually have a chance to be happy, safe, and free. the us working with great development teams from all over the world would slowly and carefully begin the construction of what would become one of t

the israel and homos have successfully carried out. their fists exchanged 3 captives for 183 palestinian prisoners, sparking celebrations and emotional reunions. bus loads of the freed palestinian prisoners had been arriving across casa in hon units. they were taken to the european hospital for medical checks. after being in is really prisons. many of their family members didn't even know if they were alive or dead. the. 0 the listing and prisoners have also returned to be occupied. westbank large crowds in ramallah celebrated their release. some prisoners are so sick that they have to be carried straight to the hospital houses 0, sorry, couple resume reports from the hospital in southern guns, a 131 palestinian debts. and these have been transported to the gaza strip under the supervision of the international committee of the red cross. they have been re unite to the gun with assembly members were waiting desperately for them in the courtyard of the rookie and hospital. but this re union has been quite, quite mocked by a bite to sweet

are, these are people that is my, israel's own admission? did nothing or they did not participate in october 7th, they did not did. they did not commit crimes, at least there is no evidence that they've committed crimes. but israel just sort of rounded them up and by some report durbin suggesting that there were, there are perhaps a few 1000 of those individuals who have been arrested by israel in garza. but as really, as part of normal, a policy is real rounds of these palestinians under the military law that governs palestinians, palestinians in the west bank are forbidden from doing all kinds of things that free people cannot do. so just to give one example of the law says that a gathering of 10 people, a gathering of 10 palestinians, if it is construed as political, can be considered a protest. and so you have palestinians who have been arrested under those circumstances. and a lot of this, again, is documented by that solemn, i referenced them in or in a previous um, it's a huge rate of human rights organization though. yeah, a leading

israel has released and returned 383 palestinian prisoners.how many other hostages will come out with phase two of the cease fire in serious jeopardy in the wake of donald trump's intervention? his plan to displace an entire palestinian population so the united states can take over and rebuild gaza was roundly rejected in europe and in the middle east. but the prospects for a two-state solution were not that great either. in israel, just 27% of people still back the creation of a palestinian state. 64% oppose it. that is a reversal from 2012 one 61% supported it and 30% opposed it. mr. trump's -- in mr. trump's plan, gaza would not belong to the palestinians. it will be home for anyone who wants to live there. that opens up an equally dangerous question about the future of the west bank. with us is a senior fellow with the carnegie endowment for international peace and former state department official and advisor on arab-israeli negotiations to both republican and democratic administrations. you are always welcome to the program. let me ask yo

that israel was simply not able to defeat. and israel was basically put on the brink where it's military and society were incapable of taking more. and so if they are put, if the soldiers are sent back into the gaza and there are serious military operations, this puts israel and in an extremely bad position, palestinians in gauze are living in fear of the war resuming off the leaders of both israel. i mean us threatened to an end to the deal. i don't know. sounds good as in the sort of hot i denounce trump statement, we've had enough and we'd really tie it. we don't want it all to leave on land. again, we reject the statements of trump. we have the people and we need to live, but the politicians must find a solution so we can do nothing other than waiting for an age coupon. it'd be minimal. do i have a i know we're frustrated because of the statements. hopefully we're good. we're providing all loans and we hope for the return of all prisoners. we don't want them to escalation, we really have enough destruction is everywhere. a

and so israel is looking at alternatives. they use the washington and the, and the president trump, to, you know, to threaten him, us. and then the prime minister of israel said on tv that unless from us releases the hostages, we might was you the with the 3 course? i mean that's exactly it. there was a lot of threatening language that was coming out of both israel as well as the united states was geared i mean, when you look at what the is really, officials have to say was geared towards a domestic audience or an international audience both, but mostly it's a tactic on to i'm trying to see if the from us or the posting inside with release more hostages. obviously nothing yahoo is thinking politically about himself and his government. because her mom seems to be distilled to be still the end. the next day that he has been talking about seems to be perfectly posting. you and the hosting is out on the ground. you know that when you listen to trump to president trump and to mention the one with think that the, the agreement is a

what's a quote that has been pro, cut between our mazda and israel. we started today, vehicles that are carrying betsy, palestinian would that patients have been completely evacuated in approach to rough crossing to allow for wanted patients to receive medical treatments in egypt. should hospitals at this number is less than what has been agreed to put in at vc spots agreements between israel, a mazda, specifically that the entire process has been quite a very complex because those patients must 1st, i'm think i have a bare restrictive security assessment by use value as secure he'd say agencies alongside light set to receive a security clearance from egyptian authorities so they can be absolutely able to be evacuated, hadn't received like treatments, upgrades. we know that since the beginning of this month, at least more than $200.00 publish didn't want to patients have been evacuated by the deputy which oh, but we are still looking forward for a very remarkable sides in terms of the numbers of these patients who are going to be allowed to be get bac
