israeli and and palestinians together can determine a resolution. to makemust continue concrete steps on the ground, including ending israeli settlement expansion. consistent with the transition to palestinian authority as called for in the 2016 report. the palestinian authority must continue to advance institution building and service delivery to the palestinian people and work towards bringing gaza back under its control. any futurecal that peace proposal focus on the two state solution and all status issues. a failure to do so could have dangerous repercussions. mr. president, maintaining support for palestine refugees is fundamental to the peace and stability in the region. i reiterate my concern over states funding, despite to over accelerate their funding commitments. the emergency appeals launched in january seek to raise 800 million u.s. dollars. ofmeet the essential needs 1.5 million people. i encourage the states to find new funding. process and the gulf between the two sides widens, -- killedalestinians were and one israeli civilian was ki

mister president, from the 50 years the israeli-palestinian occupation and discrimination of the palestinian people in january 2018 alone, israeli authorities confiscated some 32 properties, palestinian properties in the west bank which is approximately the same number of structures seized and destroyed as a monthly average in 2017. as a result of this latest round of demolition or confiscation, 37 people were displaced and another 82 were impacted. we cannot talk of a status quote in the occupied palestinian territory. rather, we should be talking about a continuous increase of this occupation. this occupation continues to render every day life of the palestinian civilization. we believe those who suffer most are the most vulnerable insociety, chief among this enterprise , women and children. we like to take this opportunity to express our concern for the plight of 300 children who been detained by israeli security forces. as it is felt that we would like to call particular attention to the case of a young girl i can't come easy become a symbol of palestinian resistance. her story is not ju

united nations security council in new york a special session being held on the issue of the israeli palestinian peace process and it has been an eventful morning started with president abbas the palestinian president using the line that israel was acting as a state above the law and calling in saying that to solve the palestinian question they needed to be a multilateral these are his words multilateral international mechanism in line with international law reference and he wants an international group to be able to bring the two sides together there was a lot of applause for president abbas as he finished his speech but then this happened as well as soon as he finished the speech president abbas waved to the crowd got up and left now as i understand members or anyone attending this are allowed to leave and come and go as they wish as it is in the general assembly but with the israeli ambassador speaking immediately afterwards it does look like something of a walk out. for the israelis spate let's try to clear it all up and get some analysis with james bays our diplomatic editor who's been list

seven palestinians were killed by israeli security forces in various incidents across the occupied palestinian territory and one israeli civilian was stabbed and killed by a palestinian in the west bank three of the palestinians killed died during violent clashes with security forces one a sixteen year old was shot near ramallah he was the fourth child killed under such circumstances since the beginning of the year i once again emphasized that the use of force must be calibrated and that lethal force should only be used as a last resort with any resulting fatalities properly investigated by the authorities i urge israeli security forces to exercise maximum restraint to avoid casualties under such circumstances i call upon all sides to reject violence condemn terror ensure accountability and work to reduce tensions in recent days we have also witnessed dangerous security incidents in and around gaza on the seventeenth of february four israeli soldiers were wounded by an improvised explosive device plays at the guy as a fence this was followed by israeli airstrikes on some eighteen commerce targ

believe that the united nations spends and altogether does proportionate amount of time on israeli palestinian issues. it's not that those issues are an important they are certainly very important the problem is that the un has proven itself time and again to be a grossly biased organization when it comes to israel as such the un's disproportionate focus has actually made the problem more difficult to solve by elevating the tensions and the grievances between the two parties another reason we have attempted to shift the discussion is that the vast scope of the challenges facing the region dwarfs the israeli palestinian conflict as we meet here today the middle east is plagued by many truly horrendous problems in yemen there is one of the worst humanitarian disasters on earth with millions of people facing starvation meanwhile militia groups bahraini and rockets from yemen into neighboring countries in syria the assad regime is using chemical weapons to gas its own people this war has taken the lives of over half a million syrians and millions more have been pushed into neighboring jordan turke

all the problems that exist between the palestinian and israeli sides during late to the west bank so in a sense. does not heavily appear in the picture in terms of actually reaching an agreement between the palestinian and the israeli side nevertheless for us the palestinians very important to be included in any final arrangements and of course the. integrity of the palestinian territory the unity between gaza and the west bank is something that's very important not only emotionally and then actually but also economically and in terms of the viability of the palestinian state to be independent now the founding arrah five generation of leadership based slowly you in a way to new politicians who shelby mahmoud abbas's successor i mean. when mr abbas chooses to retire well first first of all let me praise the leadership the historically the ship of the but the same people generally headed by by yasser arafat and other leaders including mahmoud abbas as well. in terms of who is the success of this is something that will be decided by the palestinian people maybe through the palestinian i

and then the palestinians become different type of gentiles. now, you can blame the israelis. but you can also blame palestinians for allowing enough justifications for the creation of that mess. maybe they were misled. maybe they had no other choice. but this is what you have. you have enough building blocks to create the myth of israeli -- >> were the palestinians misled during the four years? and how are they coping with their fears? we went to see a persowho fought for victims whout a future. >> i had my cousin kille by the israelis. and we were supposed to have a party here. we lit candles for all those who passed away to give us life. so we lit candles. and we cried there. then we came back home, we danced. we also cried again. and for us, that was the resistance. >> the regression in the last three years has been incredible in the relationship between palestinians and the israelis. is there any way that you found to go to the heart of israelis and tell them don't be afraid of me? >> i don't believe in this fear. we are the people who are afraid of them. they are the occu

but in the israeli—palestinian conflict, there's one issue, the israeli occupation, that is one—sided that sense to want to end it, and to end it. but the point is, you are politicising the idf, you are quite plain that you believe as a political objective, the occupation must be ended. and yet, day—to—day, the idf has to be peopled by soldiers, who are not political, but who loyally follow the orders of their commanders. and the chief of staff, gadi eisenkot, said back in may 2016, he said, "the idf soldiers must know beyond a shadow of doubt that the whole nation supports them and stands behind them, even when there are differences of political opinion." yeah, i mean, i'm not here to criticise the idf. well, that's exactly what you do. so i'll tell you why i don't think that's what i do. what i do is i criticise the mission the idf got to carry out. and in that sense, the problem that soldiers are facing has to do with the decisions of the government. you can be a right—wing soldier or a left—wing soldier, but you're carrying out a mission of the most right—wing, messianic, religiou

israel unleashed another massive air attack on palestinian guerrilla targets in lebanon today from the sky. and israeli jets bombing bombing. and the summer of nine hundred eighty two israel invaded neighboring lebanon in an attempt to drive the palestinian liberation organization out of its income and some southern border with israel what's an israeli army doing here in beirut the answer is that we are now dealing with an imperial israel which is solving its problems in someone else's country world opinion be damned the israeli invasion of lebanon in one thousand nine hundred two was a watershed it was israel breaking out beyond its immediate region to aggressively attack another country and it was a bit of a shock to many people in the interests of self-defense that gallant little underdog israel as suddenly started behaving like the neighborhood bully by the time the war was over the israeli military would to seventeen thousand lebanese and palestinians and the other thirty thousand almost all of them civilians and when they were over in the end they are become so why is everything only. right to re

should say now says that it will treat differently palestinians on the on the garza side who approach the border front fence in future demonstrations the israelis say that this explosive device will write on the fence have been planted on the fence on the palestinian flag have been planted on top of it and when the israeli soldiers approach to lift the flag the removal of the flag or the lifting of like detonated the explosion so the israelis now say anybody goes near that border the word is they'll be treated differently jane why don't we looking for. yes yahoo making an address any time soon thanks for that and it russia has dismissed us allegations that thirteen of its nationals ran a secret operation to sway the twenty sixteen presidential election in donald trump's favor the russian foreign minister's denial was immediately challenge by u.s. national security advisor h.r. mcmaster children after trump tweeted that mcmaster have forgotten to say the election results were not changed by the russians rather than jordan has more. the munich security conference often focuses on weapons of mass destruction regional war and the threat from rogue

with each one separately or in succession we have witnessed the arab israeli conflict and then progressively transformed into a palestinian israeli conflict we have witnessed the civil war in lebanon and then the conflict between there's ball and israel we have these are the different conflicts in which iraq got involved and the most recent developments in the country and finally with the so-called arab spring we have seen the conflict in syria in yemen in libya but as i said until recently we always got the impression that scenes were more or less and the control and beach of these situations could be endl separately even if it was more and more obvious that there was an interview lation among them and that the restoration became even more clear when dash with its operations made the iraqi cries in the syrian crisis so obviously interconnected what i think is changed clearly is that today the whole global will the east became a mess and became a mess with a number of different fault lines that are completely crossing each other and interconnected the fourth lie that remains between israelis and palestinians the fault lin

its focus has been almost entirely on issues facing israelis and palestinians, and we have heard many of the same arguments and ideas over and over again. we have already heard them again this morning. it is as if saying the same things repeatedly without actually doing the hard work and making the necessary compromises .ill achieve anything

. >>> president trump says he is not convinced israelis or palestinians are committed to the peace process. when it comes to releasing a plan for peace, the president tells the israeli newspaper, we have to see what happens. a troubling spike of tension in iran and syria. we have details with ian lee. >> reporter: good morning, dave. things have calmed down. tensions subdued in the area. the fog rolling in. we are learning more about that iranian drone. we are hearing it is a copy of the rq-170. this is the american stealth drone. operated in iran in 2011. it went down and iran captured it and reversed engineered it. it was the drone that was used to get through the air space. israel was able to monitor it the time before shooting it down. israeli air force commece comma sauce they will not operate over syria despite syria shooting down one of the planes. we are following the interview that president trump gave israel newspaper owned by the casino owner sheldon adelson. he talked about the fact he doesn't believe palestinians or israelis really want peace right now. that's a blow to his ul

and it's not just the arab-israelis and the palestinians under occupation. hristians, israelis, all those in the west bank. so in my view, with the demographics, with the population changes, that's more challenging from the israeli perspective than a two-state solution. >> do you believe that prime minister netanyahu still believes in a two-state solution, or did he ever believe in one? >> what we're seeing today, we have to reserve judgment. i have my skepticism. but until the americans show us the other part of the plan -- and i would imagine that the challenge that the americans have with the israelis is, if this is to make any sense, is to give something pretty good to the palestinians. i think that's the point we'll see whether the israelis will accept. i have a feeling that the two-state solution, the way that we envisage, is not the same two-state solution that they're looking at. >> your placing a lot of hope in this american plan. do you have any realistic process percent that it will be ambitious and comprehensive? >> well, listen. we've been at thi

palestinian president mahmoud abbas formally rejected america's role as a mediator and then a future israeli palestinian talks a few weeks later u.s. froze more than half of its planned aid to a u.n. agency which has been a lifeline for millions of palestinian refugees and now the u.s. is designating a leader of hamas to keep palestinian political group with an armed wing as a global terrorist and slapping sanctions on ismail haniya who threaten a political uprising or intifada against israel a day after two islams tribes decision rather on jerusalem. the senate in poland has approved a bill that would make it illegal to suggest poland was complicit in the nazi holocaust or for house back the draft legislation despite objections from israel and the us israel accuses poland of trying to rewrite history if the bill is signed into law by the president some offenses could carry jail sentences of up to three years very fos it brings us the israeli reaction from us true self. well this crisis in relations between israel and poll has really been deepening since friday last week when the lower house of parliame

so when i wrote exile for example which is my novel of the israeli palestinian problem, it proceeded -- from the premise to a trial but most of it was spent exploring tragic history of the two people soon to be trapped like scorpion in a puddle and we saw it again on television today in -- a tragedy for which one hopes there's a resolution but i tried both to dramatize to explain what's going on so whereas i resist a notion that i'm writing crime fiction i don't resist notion at all that elements of crime and fiction are story and character. and those who have been very important to me i think important to most people is -- readers. >> greg. would you talk a bit about your -- >> i don't i don't care what thl me as long as they buy the book. [laughter] i've been called everything from the poster boy for southern gothic fiction to breaking bad generation. i rather be called the latter but i don't really care. [laughter] mostly, though, the crime label doesn't bother me because i think i've written across many genera and writtenning everything from holocaust to childhood sex abuse to ci

results. >> that the united nations spends an altogether disproportionate amount of time on israeli/palestinians not that those issues are unimportant. they are certainly very important. the problem is that the u.n. has proven itself, time and again, to be a grocery biased organization when it comes to israel. >> despite concerns about his lack of permanent security clearances, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser, swrard kushner was there with ambassador haley. kushner has been tasked with trying to broker an elusive israel/palestinian peace. that's it for me. meantime, news continues right now. >>> hi there, i'm brooke baldwin. thavengs for being with me on this tuesday afternoon. you are watching cnn. we are standing by, waiting for the first white house briefing to begin. any moment there, white house picture pictures. myriad of questions since anyone stood at that podium. not just from left-wing activists but these students, young voices who survived the terror themselves at douglas high. moments ago students headed to

former president jimmy carter is solutionhe two-state in the israeli-palestinian conflict has been overtakena one state reality which will have dire consequences for israel in the long-term. the former u.s. ambassador read a statement from mr. carter to the un security council. the two-stated at solution must be anchored on adjustments,with and with jerusalem as the capital for both israelis and palestinians. a civil society in new york was theed with eggs outside center for policy and research in west bank. the group was on an unofficial visit. tensions have been running high since december when president trump declared the united states recognizes jerusalem as the capital of israel and the embassy will be relocated there from tel aviv. british prime minister theresa may is shunning her most senior -- shutting her most senior ministers away in a room on to force them to discuss what trade deal they want with the european union. global news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2,700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. i am mark crumpton. this is bloomberg. david: since the tragic

of majid are and this man on january seventeenth their bodies haven't been given to the palestinians the israeli army said that they have informed the palestinians of. death this is all very controversial here in israel and in palestine in israel there was the hard right to the absolutely wanted revenge they wanted afterwards or all killed they were putting pressure on promise that benjamin you know hope to make an operation to do exactly that but also what the prime minister did was legalize the outpost that the rabbi came from he said this was the any way of protecting this once illegal outposts now clearly all of these outposts and settlements in the occupied west bank are illegal under. that's a lot but now i have it because that's the outpost is actually a settlement is legal under israeli law once again very very controversial when it comes to any kind of use force this is going to happen any kind of future palestinian state now like i say the palestinians are waiting for the bodies to be handed over to them or funerals to be able to take place to have a quick break now but when we come ba

recommendation from the police israelis wonder well the general may be dirty himself or not willing to. indict netanyahu someone who he's very close to and arabs and palestinians i speak to here could really care less about. corruption charges against netanyahu because . well i spoke with one member of the israeli knesset actually a palestinian member. jamal's the hulk who told me it's kind of like catching. al capone for tax evasion because palestinians would like to see netanyahu tried for crimes he's committed for example in a place i visited in the gaza strip which was completely decimated by the israeli army multiple times under netanyahu is watch what are the politics behind all of this meaning what drives. the israelis to put palestinians in gaza in this position well it's a it's a good question hollande as i said i've studied this issue for a while i've read books for example like jimmy carter's palestine peace not apartheid i was aware that. nelson mandela himself has characterized the system in his and while he was alive characterize the system here as apartheid and now i've come and see it for myself that's what drives that's the politics that drive

be telling the story from the point of view of the hijackers and again it's a film about the israeli palestinian conflict at its heart but the hijackers who we got to know the best were actually the two german hijackers and not the palestinian hijackers and overall well the film was very well made and really beautiful it was sort of ham fisted in the way it handled the political situation so if you're if you're sensitive about the israeli palestinian issue maybe this isn't the film for you i felt which i think most people are i think that's safe to say. always a hot topic festival we've got this look at the directors was a popular. the one nine hundred seventy six hijacking shocked the world now it's hitting the headlines again but this time as a movie the latest film. had its world premiere at the a film festival with a special place in the director's heart. a love of this festival i'm always so happy to come back here for the two women. and for good reason in two thousand and eight to presume to won the festival's top prize the golden bear for his film. it was his first feature length film and

are almost all at the top secret level, and policy issues, including the -- for example, the israeli-palestinian conflict have to be understood at the top secret level in order for someone to be an effective mediator in a conflict like that. >> and john heilemann, the white house press briefings are comical when the subject -- well, they're comical most of the time. but when the subject of security clearances comes up. it's always the same answer. we absolutely do not discuss them. we're not going to say a word about them. and yet this same white house leaks more than very same subject than any other white house in history. we would know nothing about this without all of these leaks. and there is clearly a camp in there that wants us to know all of this about jared kushner. >> well, right. that's true, lawrence. the first unusual thing is it's not just that the white house leaks more than prior white houses is that of course it leaks more about security clearances because in general, in white houses, security clearances are not an issue about which there is much to leak. by this point, a year in

to continue performing his duties in his foreign policy portfolio including overseeing our israeli/palestinian serving as an integral part of our relationship with mexico. everyone in the white house is grateful for these valuable contributions to furthering the president's agenda. there is no truth to any suggestion otherwise. but again, according to the memo and the policy, it's quite different than what he said in that statement. what's your read on this? >> well, it was interesting that he opted to put out that statement at all. essentially, what he is saying is that jared kushner does not need this level of access to do the job that he has. well, if you ask senior advisers to presidents in the white house, they will say something quite different, which is that in these positions, you actually do need access to top-secret information -- >> especially if you're doing israeli/palestinian negotiations. you're going to have to see classified information. >> you're going to have to be read into things that are considered sensitive, compartmented information, from time to time. you may have to l

don't let them have a huge portfolio, in charge of israeli/palestinian peace and still not able to passy clearance. i think what's important in this article that they pointed out is that general kelly made it clear that even without availability and access to this classified information, jared is still able to carry out the duties and responsibilities of his portfolio, including dealing with the israeli/palestinian situation. i think i take general kelly's word that he can do his job without this and i think we should leave it at that. >> but that's crazy. that's absolutely insane. the relationship with israel and the middle east is intimately bound up with the national security agency, the cia. if you are going to be in charge of middle east peace, you have to have access to classified information. how could he possibly -- why do we have all of the agencies if the person in charge of our relationship can't see it? it's ridiculous! >> jeff, you said that kushner is not qualified for his job. and if you start applying that standard in this white house, it's a slippery slope about where t

were injured in the israeli raids israel says that the dead palestinians were shot trying to cross the border. i think you are today's incident on the gaza strip border was severe we were responding appropriately i send my wishes for a quick recovery to the wounded let's go live now to our series but its worth is in west jerusalem but at the start by trying to clear up what exactly happened to these two palestinians who were killed aging we understand senator on the garza side that they were near the border for the fence the israelis say they were trying to cross now it's not unusual sometimes young man because of the desperate circumstances in gaza where there's hardly any work sometimes some of them try to cross over into israeli territory invariably they're caught by the israelis and often usually then eventually sent back to garza these young men it seems happened to be near the border at a time when there's been an incident earlier on this explosion on the border fence further down the border fence is injuring these israeli soldiers so because of that
