but it's a very prospect for the palestinians and israelis. in the first instance, the palestinians at some point will erupt and they'll get crushed and what has been accomplished over the last several years will be reserved. and in the long run the israelis will become an island in a sea of hostility and the margin of advantage they've had militarily is going to decline. look at the following simple fact: 30 years ago we had good relations with iran, with saudi arabia, with egypt and turkey and through our friends. think of how much that has already changed. the implications of that are far reaching. >> suarez: all right, we will have to leave it there. zbigniew brzezinski and richard haass, thank you very much. >> thank you: >> ifill: still to come on the "newshour": the american hikers freed in iran; the fight for qaddafi's hometown; a different take on the extent of economic inequality in the u.s. and denzel washington on at-risk youth. but first, the other news of the day. here's hari sreenivasan. >> sreenivasan: the federal reserve announ

the united states there was high hopes that he would play a positive role in resolving the israeli palestinian conflict but now his opposition to the vote do you see this as a stab in the back. it's really abject surrender to the israelis with it he meant it to be a stab in the back or i mean these have ended two mr netanyahu rules and it does so look because the united states it's subservient to israel. now it's because the united states government president when he faces such. huge domestic pressures and the rest of problems and then he comes close to a reelection time. he has very small margin of maneuver on other issues such as the relationship with israel. so maybe if mr obama is reelected he might be more capable of really pushing for the program he suggested two and three years ago that all settlements ought to stop including these jerusalem so that it would allow more reasonable climate for negotiations all you can say that's going to be financed for several months now the israeli army has been preparing for violence but there are those who are saying that it's almost as if it's creati

the right artist policy life most checkpoints on the palestinian israeli border fence for a breeze what so you know what was going on around you tonight now the speech of the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas to the u.n. was received with a standing ovation just a little bit earlier on following that the israeli prime minister took the floor to criticize the palestinian bid for statehood you're actually seeing him now on your screen that slade's life is going through the way you look at that let's talk as well throughout israel important she's been listening in to joins us live now from new york hi there what did the two leaders have to say and how is it being received . well kevin let's start with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who you said is still speaking when he began his speech he said he did not come to the u.n. general assembly to win applause he came to speak the truth and he said the truth is israel wants peace but peace must be anchored in security and he said as u.s. president barack obama said that peace cannot be achieved through statements or un resolutions that

violent if settlers enter palestinian territories artie's policy or brings us the details from israeli palestinian borders. the situation here certainly is tense and it's heating up we're talking about and that both is great he states as and palestinians claim is that is not be punished students have said that mason in the week they will hold peaceful demonstrations as the united nations gets under way and discusses they bid for statehood but the israeli settlers are not waiting until the end of the week and throughout the day today tuesday we saw it's way he said this is taking to the streets in various systems across the way spend i'm not soft on the israeli system and it's a mob earlier hundreds of people marched on that system and to this end point i'm currently on the israeli palestinian border and while the mood was quite jovial and the surface was music played it was a very strong underlying minutes and received when you listen to some of the speeches that people were saying they were expressing for such as the land of israel belongs only to the people of israel to keep national pride urgin

protesters opposing the palestinian public bid were arrested outside the u.n. building. this as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he wants to restart direct talks with palestinian president mahmoud abbas, as long as it is on the sidelines at the u.n. and not in public. both he and, of course, the u.s. are hoping abbas would drop the bid for statehood altogether, but no one is betting on that. right now abbas is working the room at the u.n., just a few blocks over, for support and still plans to file a request for statehood on friday. he will need just nine votes in the security council to get this, but bear in mind the u.s. holds veto power and is threatening to use it if it came down to that. the problem with that is, is that it runs counter, in many cases, to our own president's recent push for arab freedom and independence. here's a question. why is this the u.s. so deeply involved in the mideast peace process? hint -- energy resources and stability. should we be? well, what's our alternative, i ask you. and after decades of attempts, does either side trust the united st

down the ways bank and to increase its security presence there at the same time the palestinians will worry that the israelis will use as an excuse to argue that palestine is not ready for statehood this comes just hours before the palestinian president mahmoud abbas is due to having a written submission for statehood at the united nations the seedling the palestinian president will argue the case that decades of negotiations with the israelis have achieved nothing and so moving forward on a unilateral declaration of statehood is the only way to go policy r.t. at the kalandia checkpoint between jerusalem and ramallah meantime in new york a showdown is expected shortly the u.n. general assembly let's get the latest. i wouldn't cross live to homer it hides so much speculation as to what we might see at this meeting can you just break it down for us and can we expect that it's your. well in the next few hours palestinian president mahmoud abbas will be addressing the international body he will deliver his speech and after that he will officially submit his application for u.n. membership to the secretary genera

the palestinians just a couple of days away israel and its key part of the us to show their opposition israeli military forces against palestinian protesters while allowing israeli settlers to demonstrate on the occupied territory. and also new york president of libya's new leadership in the general assembly by pointing out progress in the country but questions over whether nato its actions in libya complied with the u.n. resolution still looming barracks.

army and israeli government and accusing them of double standards they're saying that on the one hand they are preventing palestinians from posting demonstrations on the other hand they're now in stitches to reach the border points which evokes very real fears of violence taking place the israeli operation have been handing out money people with such as tear gas to all the settlements they've also been arming and training the body gone to secure the system and they deem off way to rid lines around all the settlements and given the green light to soldiers that if palestinian protesters approached beyond a certain distance soldiers had suits we've also been hearing reports of israel. the army is planting landmines along its northern borders circularly along its border with syria there's a growing sense of isolation among israelis for months they simply named it supply and now september is here and with it the only ease and uncertainty about what to do when palestinians ask the united nations to recognize a state i think the responsible thing to do from the idea of spoils of you is to prepare for any eventuality prepare

borders three months ago when hundreds of demonstrators stormed the israeli syrian border in a show of sympathy for the palestinians twenty protesters were killed by israeli fire the area is littered with mines and add a danger to those clamoring the mines are not necessarily very to deal with people who have peaceful intentions but mines are a legitimate form of defense many countries have mines on their borders for that reason in one of its internal magazines the israeli army said it was planting new mines in the area as a deterrent against any future demonstrations that might take place cards are expected to surge forward when palestinians put forward their case at the united nations the army refused of request for an interview the most they gave us was an e-mail response in which they said they were performing on go. situation assessments and doing everything required in order to ensure that the daily routine and security on israel's northern borders was maintained but it wasn't security that tore off the right heart of salad bars body he lost a leg a hand and an eye when he picked up a mine when he was thirtee

ultimately, it is the israelis and the palestinians who must live side by side. t's the israelis and the palestinians, not us who must reach agreement on issues that divide them, on borders and on security, on refugees and jerusalem. ultimately peace depends upon compromise, among people who must live together long after our speeches are over. long after our votes have been tallied. that's the lesson of northern ireland, where ancient ing antagonists bridged their differences. that's the goal of sudan where it led to an independent state. and that will be the path to a palestinian state. negotiations between the parties. we seek a future where palestinians live in a solve republic sovereign state of their own, with no limit to what they can achieve. there's no question that the palestinians have seen that vision delayed for too long, it is precisely because we believe in the aspirations of the palestinian people that america has invested so much time and so much effort in the building of a palestinian state and the negotiations that can deliver a palestinian state

and palestinians the middle east quartet issued a statement outlining somewhat of a timetable that would bring the israelis and the palestinians back to the negotiating table and continue start up reignite some bilateral talks at this time people works as follows within one month the quartet would like to see both parties to sit down together at the negotiation table by three months both sides need to outline their proposals regarding territory and security quartet representative tony blair said that without russia's support. and help in reaching a consensus this statement could not have been reached a timeline not outlined here's a little bit of what mr blair had to say. the international community as a whole saying we understand you've launched the application with the united nations but probably negotiate and he is a specific thing we want you to do within this three month period to build a comprehensive proposal borders and security the most to conference i hope will come of this process and allow us to review the progress within six months is very sensible let me have a conference in moscow russia's p

unfortunately, the israelis did not want to sit and engage. and today they say the palestinians want to return to negotiations. we are the party who needs negotiations the most, who need an end to the conflict the most. >> i'm sure that later -- obviously we will get the israeli point of view. they feel that israel's right to exist is not recognized throughout the palestinian community. but let me ask you if what your feeling is about the ability to get around this crisis. do you think there really is a chance that the u.s. or israel or the eu, somebody, could come up with something? is there a chance of that or not >> well, i mean the official decision was announced by president abbas on friday. he is en route to new york. he will arrive later on tonight. i'm sure there will be continued discussions. but again, unless there is that viable alternative to the palestinian people, to tell them that this time around it is not going to be a waste of time. we don't want negotiations for the sake of going back, negotiations getting engaged in a process that will not produce peace. five

palestinians for u.n. membership and for statehood but this is something that the israelis have. rejected as well so clearly this is this is a showdown that's developing right now here in new york we will see the palestinian president and what i dress the general assembly and then probably within an hour afterwards israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will take to the podium and deliver his speech and many countries even a veto wielding countries such as russia have said that nobody no one country should get involved or get in the way or block the aspirations of the palestinians the palestinians have said that following nearly two decades of negotiations are lot there of they are turning to the u.n. out of desperation state believe that they deserve their own independence and deserve a state but the majority of u.n. members do support that but it is the u.s. veto that could block this all from happening so this story is developing throughout the day and of course we are keeping our viewers posted as any more information does become available i'm certainly going to and as we u

letting up its night fall but will be change and on running high we bring you the latest from the israeli palestinian port where chaos shows no sign of easing tonight with one palestinian already shot dead during clashes with israeli soldiers and got the latest. news the yemen president returned back to his country months after surviving an assassination attempt props fears of more violence now as five days of fighting between pro and anti regime forces leaves dozens dead. and fears of a double dip global recession intensify in the wake of thursday's markets plunge that spared no one from debt ridden europe to the u.s. with stocks heading for the worst weekly losses in three years. or welcome you watching our team from moscow with me kevin oh into night it's eleven pm here now in our top story the palestinian and israeli leaders took center stage as they address the u.n. general assembly while tensions continued on the palestinian israeli border parties paulus lee joins us she's got more now from one of those checkpoints. i'm here at the kalandia checkpoint between jerusalem and ramallah and the situ

ultimately it is the israelis and palestinians who must live side by side. ultimately it is the israelis and palestinians who must reach agreement on issues that divide them on borders and on security. on refugees and jerusalem. ultimately pays depends upon compromise among people who must live together long after our speeches are over, long after our votes have been tallied. that is the lesson of northern ireland. ancient antagonist breached their differences. that is the lesson of celadon where negotiated settlement led to a state. that is and will be the path to a palestinian state. negotiations between the parties. we seek a future where palestinians live in a sovereign state of their own with no limits to what they can achieve. there is no question the palestinians have seen that vision delayed for too long. it is precisely because we believed so strongly in the aspirations of the palestinian people that america has investor time and effort in the effort of the -- in the building of the palestinian state. but understand this as well -- america's commitme

build a settlement wardle and and defend ourselves why don't israelis embrace what some see as a real opportunity for peace when the palestinians get clear they state most israelis to be theirs not feel secure they look around us and they see instability and they see through it the see insecurity and this is a where we translate we understand. what we see around us in the middle east whether it is what we see in iran or in syria or egypt or in your i don't know what will happen tomorrow in jordan or in saudi arabia is there anything of real substance for the palestinians in a u.n. appeal or is it more of their public relations effort change the perception of the international community probably people sleep the two sanctions economic i believe . diplomatic sanctions but it will change the perception of people is a region of esteem years of muslim arabs. in our neighboring countries. a sings that we have practically to understand the big leader will be totally different and how will israel react a day later. i have no idea first before. most israelis will see and you'll see. i think that. we shall have to see what will happen. w

israeli moratorium. then what did they do? . the palestinians demanded that the israelis extend the moratorium and did nothing and then wanted to expand the moratorium. this is not the behavior of a true negotiating partner. what type of negotiating partner invites hamas, a terrorist organization, to join them and become part of the palestinian authority? certainly not a peace partner that wishes to bring peace and a palestinian state to the middle east. the israelis, by contrast, have shown their commitment to negotiations and have repeatedly called on the palestinians to join them, join them at the negotiating table. when netanyahu addressed the united states congress in a joint session on may 24, he reiterated his willingness to make painful compromises in order to reach peace with the palestinians. but the palestinians have turned their backs on the negotiation or any form of compromise and have gone to the anti-israel body, united nations, where they believe they will receive more sympathy and ultimately success. i appreciate the obama admi

saying that peace in the middle east can only come from direct negotiations between the palestinians and the israelis and kind of statements or resolutions from the united nations would help a peace agreement obama encouraged all members of the general assembly to talk to the palestinians and the israelis and convince them to get back to the negotiation table the majority u.n. members do support the palestinian bid for u.n. membership and statehood but the u.s. has publicly said it would be no this move if it had to would cast a veto and that would the palestinians from becoming members of the united nations now russian foreign minister sergei lavrov did speak with the press saying that of course direct negotiations is what is wanted but the u.s. should not use its veto to block the aspirations of the palestinians or thousand of any other country so at this point the u.s. by casting a veto risks losing support and credibility among the arab world because remember president obama supported the tunisians the egyptians the libyans during the arab spring he has spoken out in support of those that are are

what is the best way to manage the rocky road for some peace between the palestinians and the israelisouple of things, you're going to have to continue to support abbas' efforts to create institutions of state hood on the ground and you definitely want to do that and the palestinians made a lot of progress both economically and politically, and building in second. you want to keep israeli palestinian security cooperation, vibrant as you possibly can. and finally, you do want to try to explore, in as low key a manner as possible, whether or not you can get any kind of an agreement. between this israeli prime minister and this palestinian president. because, without anchoring this, in the political process, you're going to end up without managing people's expectations, you're going to end up with trouble. so, i just don't have a lot of confidence in the fact that you're going to get anywhere with these two guys. >> and so we continue to see quiet diplomacy as they try to move it forward with some hopefully resolution down the road. aaron david, thank you as always for shedding light on t

here but there's social movement has not been about the occupation it has not been about the israeli palestinian conflict in the big demonstration in tel aviv last night not one word was mentioned about palestinian israeli conflict with the occupied territories in jerusalem two speakers did mention it and applauded from the public but it's not a demonstration about war and peace it's a demonstration about social and economic policies well as we know prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been criticized for taking time to campaign against the upcoming vote on palestinian statehood instead of tackling social problems at home so what's your view on this. well i think that the government of israel is making a big mistake by not seeing a september twentieth un session as an opportunity for israel mr netanyahu officially supports the two state solution what the palestinians are trying to do is to preserve the the the viability of a two state solution by bringing it to a decision of the international community in a time when they believe they cannot make any progress in bilateral negotiations with isra
