application for the full membership in the united nations we don't see at all oh it can hurt the israeli palestinian negotiations because of the palestinians have very wisely stated from the outset that they did not see their membership in the united nations as an alternative to negotiations with israel is that they accept that yes in the final analysis the problem will have to be settled in their direct talks with israel is but also they believe that there must be certain parameters within which they will be talking to the israelis and one of the elements of those parameters is that the settlement activity on the west bank and is jerusalem will have to stop because now we see a situation where the west bank almost entirely covered by israeli settlements and outposts so it's logical for the palestinians it would seem to ask what kind of two state solution two state solution there can be if there is no land for us essentially on the west bank for some pockets of territory which are populated by the palestinians and the rest of it that is has been basically taken over by the israelis also they want to

civilians because of the fear of a massive israeli retaliation now back in two thousand and eight nearly one and a half thousand palestinians were killed in a three week operation that these rabies referred to as operational cost made four out of five people killed were civilians what we're hearing from the israelis now is that should they go ahead with another operation this operation will be short and it will see the use of more firepower but it's not clear that the timing is right for tel aviv to go ahead with another invasion of gaza certainly the natanya who government is isolated on the international front more than it was three years ago and it will not want to risk losing more friends the congo of today is also very different to the cairo of two thousand and eight when the former egyptian president hosni mubarak was in power the leadership in egypt today is much more likely to go to the aid of hamas if indeed it is attacked by israel at the same time palestinian militants have more weapons at their disposal including antitank missiles that are capable of inflicting a lot of damage on israeli tanks so it's not a done

it's not are we to use it at all i think the israeli army has killed thousands of palestinian people and no one has convicted them their israeli side say and now they are trying to accuse somebody to justify their actions it's a justification i have to this moment which people praying to believe there has been a calm and a truce between palestinian factions and the israeli side what come to be is. proved there israeli military will keep its own action against the gaza strip and this would lead to more violence. the coverage of russia's post-election rallies has been in sharp focus in the foreign media some even likening it to egypt's tahrir square protests but as artie's and the sonali reports that i went in russia happened twenty years ago. dr dear dear skya. u.s. senator john mccain to each dear vlad the arab spring coming to a neighborhood near you but is it seems russia's so-called slavic spring came and went twenty years ago. mccain and hillary clinton really would like this to happen and you see it in their relations to other countries where these revolutions benefit the u.s. an

gazans accusing the israelis and the scene does seem to be suited for a return to violence the israeli palestinian peace talks have yet again stored despite international pressure and largely over the issue of israeli settlement building like we witnessing from tel aviv is an increase in settlement construction so much so that the united states which is israel's closest ally has actually criticized the israeli government for its moves in this direction and now the israelis for various sides have also by targeting these two high ranking palestinian officials and there's a strike there is day resumed what seems to be a policy of targeted killings because certainly there hasn't been any kind of targeted killings since two thousand and ten and this is causing many to say that there's an inconsistency in the israeli policy of his. several weeks ago that israel released more than one thousand palestinian prisoners in a prisoner exchange deal with hamas now we witnessing it once again targeting militants at the same time we're hearing from various human rights groups that they particularly concerned that

for several days now the israeli gaza border has been tense four palestinians were killed and several others were injured in a series of targeted strikes carried out by the israeli air force at the same time and number of rockets were fired by palestinian militants into southern israel now last night when state evening the israeli defense force did confirm that it is preparing a large scale military operation in gaza it says that operation will be varied and different to the last operation that was carried out there three years ago what we're hearing is that the purpose of this operation will be to in hans is ready to terence now we are receiving reports that khaled mashal who is hamas as political bureau chief has called for all attacks on israeli civilians to be halted this comes in light of the recently conciliation deal that was signed between rival palestinian faction groups amass and fattah in cairo and this would be because of fear of a massive israeli retaliation this tuesday marks three years since the last israeli operation in gaza that israelis referred to as operation cast
