interests in the region against israeli interests being able to have a land bridge to one another and so the u.s. is remaining in the region the whole purpose of that is to try and stop these forces from being able to work together more fluidly which is basically how it's going to be from now on you brought up israel recently you published a report at alter net from your time in syria titled how a free syrian army unit uncovered the rebels israeli connection and switched sides that's a pretty hot scoop rania can you briefly explain what happened and why it's significant . well this is sort of been an open secret for many years now which is the israeli support for the rebels in the golan heights and the rebels in the golan heights are dominated by this road which is all it is affiliate in syria so essentially the israelis have been supporting acting in a supportive role towards. on their border on the you know the the border with the golan heights and initially there was a group of people group of syrians who had defected from the syrian army enjoying some of these rebel factions calle

always speaks early but normally in the general assembly in recent years we've had the israeli prime minister coming well after the iranians we know how israel will respond because benjamin netanyahu has said it before when he's talked about president rouhani has called him a sheep in wolf's clothing and i'm sure that will be with a response from the israelis and i'm sure we can expect something pretty similar coming from the trumpet ministration i think it puts a difficult position though for for the u.s. is key allies what are they going to do now because many of them are supportive of the iran deal mariam let me just tell you our president mark rolle said what we have to do is keep the twenty fifteen agreement because it's a good one with strong more monitoring of the current situation. and so what can we conclude. then from that does it highlight president trump's isolation on the world stage when it comes to the iran deal is there a genuine fear that this could cause some sort of instability even if just through provoking iran. well certainly the iranians are saying they will re

that is the thing that continues to dominate israeli thinking. in that process there is a denial that the palestinian people are people who have the right to self-determination in any form. we get to define what self-determination is. it is not merely the establishment of a nationstate. it is the right to be self-determined. we can decide, but israel had denied in continued to deny that palestinians have that right. and insist that we are nomads from surrounding countries that should be absorbed to anyone of the arab states or, what they propose to us in 1978 in the middle east framework which is the idea that we are self thoma thomas, we govern ourselves in an autonomous framework without any substantial sovereignty, and interestingly, it's in that moment that the plo, the palestinians in the west bank and the palestinians in the gaza strip convene conferences and congresses that reject the idea of economy and say nothing short of sovereignty and self-determination and 15 years later we sign on to almost the exact document verbatim. so, i would
