mahmoud abbas said the boy was killed. and binyamin netanyahu said the boy is alive, and there's a picture of him laying in bed. his 15-year-old cousin was shot and killed, where a 13-year-old israeli boy was stabbed. who can stop the violence. mahmoud abbas and binyamin netanyahu may be the wrong men at the wrong time to do it. mahmoud abbas is 80 years old, and a weak leader who can't risk an election likely seeing hamas win in the west bank. binyamin netanyahu says he wants peace talks, buts only if the palestinians recognise israel as the sit of the jewish people, leaving the status of 2 million arabs in israel and east jerusalem in question. that's a non-startser for the palestinians. what is needed is leaders that can inspire faith that a settlement is possible, one that can bring peace and security to israelis and palestinians. restoring faith and peace in the holy land. that is really "third rail". >>> this is al jazeera america. i'm richelle carey, and here are the top stories. the nuclear deal in iran is in force

my first question to mahmoud abbas, i have one for you, too, mr secretary-general. what message are you taking to the secretary of state, what practical measures are you taking to put pressure on israel to end the occupation to bring hope to the street for a genuine plan, and i'll ask you what you mean by international protection, and my question to you is that it's a great message that you are here, but we have seen in the past, whenever there's a u.n. resolution at the security council level critical of israel, that it is vetoed by the united states. what practical moves can you go to put pressure on a tense situation that is genuinely planned to move norwood for a 2-state solution and end to the occupation. thank you. >> translation: providing protection to the palestinian people is our responsibility, we must do all what we can and use all tools to provide protection to our people. however, in the face of these barbarian acts committed by the israeli settlers, and those perpetrated by the israeli army, armed civilians and children, and the youse of live bullets

mahmoud abbas doesn't think israel is a rming environment en foster peace. >>> amid this mistrust peace in the holy land is no close to reality and the dangers are only growing amid all the violence consuming the middle east. karl penhall is on the ground with the latest. >> rain on the streets of bethlehem. a new generation rising up determined to solve an age-old complaint. israeli occupation. >> it's no life here. there's a life without freedom and you can't do anything here. >> reporter: protesters wield sling shots against one of the best-armed militaries in the world. some palestinians wounded by israeli live fire, others downed by rubber bullets. this started as a grass roots revolt after years of on-off peace talks, protesters accused their own palestinian leaders of failing to win an independent home land. >> we are here as a palestinian we are lead ourselves just as our revolution we will lead it by ourselves. we don't need any leader for this revolution. >> reporter: friday marked just the latest round of clashes. i'd been here two days earlier. the scenario was much the same

reporter: mahmoud bitar has been called the most famous refugee in all sweden.e often runs into fans who want to have their picture taken with him and he's only been in the country a few months. his long trek to northern europe took him a whole year. he ended up in orebro, about 200 kilometers west of stockholm. bitar: at first, i was surprised to see hardly anyone in the streets here. i come from a city of more than a million. there's always something happening in the streets, always people out and about. reporter: many aspects of life in sweden have taken some getting-used-to. so, mahmoud started making videos about his experiences and posting them online. in this one, he talks about the quiet evenings, and how different it is from back home. bitar: good lord, it's boring here! reporter: his videos have collected more than a million hits in all. there's also one with a dog. bitar: you see this dog? even he's got a proper european passport. reporter but for asylum-seekers : like mahmoud, it can take several years to get a 'proper european passport', even in rel

and yesterday we heard mahmoud abbas blame israel. in that context. is there much chance the peace process will get back on track. >> well, i think it's very lit: it was clear that both sides were more interested in blaming each other. it's unlikely that there will be much progress. i think equally important is what was not said at the united nations over the past few days, particularly in president obama's speech, he didn't mention israel, palestine or a resumption of the peace process. the silence on the conflicts, together with the statements and some of the harsh language and changes between mahmoud abbas and others suggest that if some diplomatic process is renewed. unfortunately, it's unlikely to go anywhere. >> a final question. binyamin netanyahu argued israel would work with arab partners and that common dangers were bringing them closer, is that an exaggeration or is israel getting support from arab countries in the middle east. >> i think behind the scenes there has been cooperation, particularly with records to the threats by i.s.i.s. and

palestinian president mahmoud abbas has used his speech at the u.n.ssembly to declare he's no longer bound by the oslo accords, accusing israel of violating the peace agreement. >>> two turkish shoulders were shot dead to their way to work by suspected kurdish fighters it happened in the southeastern province. dozens of security officers and hundreds of fighters have been killed since the ceasefire deal collapse ed in july. >>> there has been another explosion in a town in southern china. a day after a series of parcel bomb blasts there. the latest explosion was in an apartment block. no injuries are being reported. on wednesday seven people were killed and dozens injured in 17 explosions at government offices think a hospital and prison. police have ruled out terrorism and have identified a 33-year-old local man as a pictures. as a suspect. they say he wanted to take revenge on society. meanwhile chinese people are celebrating national day more than 50,000 watched the national flag being raised. the ceremony commemorates the founding of the communist

will he get that reassurance to john kerry, what will john kerry take to mahmoud abbas. whatever is achieved here, we won't know how tangible it will be for a few days. once this round of shuttle diplomacy comes to its conclusion. >>> yesterday you and i were discussindiscussing are germanys response, now americans have weighed in to round 2. >> yes, that's right, they have also implicitly criticize the israeli prime minister, the history does not back up what he says, when he said the grand mufti of jerusalem back in 1941 gave hitler the idea of the final solution, that hitler had not been thinking along the terms of ex term nateing european jews na jews until tha. of course, since that time he has clarified his comments, saying but it was such an emettive issue and for all the parties concerned. for germans because they were the perpetrators of the holocaust, are for jewish people around the world because they were its victims but also for palestinians because they people very strongly that their history is being distorted at this sensitive time in such a way to weaken

john kerry, as barnaby mentioned is due to meet mahmoud abbas. the key issue is whether he's going to meet jordan, the king abdullah. the reason is it is jordan who administers the al-aqsa compound. the the work for the islamic trust which administers the compound in coordination and cooperation with israel. he has been arguing that binyamin netanyahu has gone back on an agreement that they reached last year. the issue from the king's point of view and the jordanian point of view is that if the situation is to be addressed in israel and the occupied territory, the debate about the al-aqsa compound has to be front and center of those initiatives. >> got that, mike. let me ask you about something else. the focus rightly so has been on the number of deaths on the palestinian and israeli side that is increasing day by day. there are prisoners, human rights groups that came out and reported that hundreds of palestinians have been detained since october. what are the israeli and palestinian authorities saying about the arrests that have taken place acr

. >> criticizing, again, the iran nuclear agreement and palestinian leader mahmoud abbas. you heard it all, john. >> i did. >> we did not expect netanyahu to focus so heavily on the iran nuclear agreement. was anything different in his message today? >>reporter: it was a bit of a snub from mahmoud abbas trying to get the palestinian conflict on top of the national agenda and achieved that but it was hardly mentioned at all by the israeli prime minister. we have been told that he was not going to spend so much time this year at the general assembly concentrating on the issue of iran, that he had moved on with that and the main reason is that he's to meet with president obama in november. to most of the rest of the world, the iran nuclear deal is now a done deal. however, that was not the way it turned out and prime minister netanyahu spoke at length about iran and dominated really most of his address here at the general assembly. he did make overtures towards president obama though ahead of that meeting coming up in november saying that the bond between israel and the unite

. >> over the weekend the secretary of state john kerry met with palestinian president mahmoud abbas and called on leaders to lead. he said that the measures must be taken to clampdown. the violence, the cycle of violence has been escalating over the last few weeks. the statement we heard tonight, here in brussels from president mahmoud abbas, there was no indication that he was going to make a call for the end to the violence. he was blaming it very much on the israelis, and the key issue that he raised was not only the fact that there was no political%on, know hope for the youted, the new generation, but was saying -- hope for the youth, the new generation, but saying the israeli have changed their stand on the temple mound. the al-aqsa. the most holily shrine. and say there were incursions israelis were allowing, i think referring to an increased activity by jewish religious leaders. and their wish to get into the compound to have prayers at what is the holiest site. he was blaming that on the cycle of violence that we are seeing. he didn't make any call for ducking down or clampi

he'll meet with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas on wednesday. but he has been meeting with the israeli prime minister. they issued a joint statement. this is some of what they had to say. >> israelis and palestinians stand on the brink of another catastrophe, period of violence. we need to stop it escalating into conflict, with regional implications. we must create conditions for meaningful negotiations, that will end the occupation and realise the aspirations of both people's. >> in the face of this terrorism, israel is acting as any democracy would to defend its citizens. we are not - i repeat - we are not using excessive force. if the international community wants to end the bloodshed and the violence, i believe it must affirm israel's commitment to the status quo on the temple mount, it must support israel's right to self-defense, and must hold president mahmoud abbas accountable for his dangerous words. >> that goes to show the polarization when it comes to when you listen to what the israeli narrative is, and the palestinian narrative. wha

. >>> mahmoud abbas, and frederica mogherini issued a short statement prior to their closed door meeting. >> what we're looking for is steps, concrete steps on the ground, including difficult ones that can improve the lives of the palestinian people, that can strengthen the palestinian authority, not only on the economic field but also in security and the political field, and to have what we call some deliverables of the process itself. not a process for the sake of the process. >> latest from david chater, live in brussels for us. we heard frederica mogherini at a tuck about deliverables, they are meeting, we don't know what they're discussing but do we know exactly what she meant by those deliverables? >> reporter: yes, exactly what the president mahmoud abbas said, he wants concrete steps taken to reignite the peace process again. but the most interesting thing barbara was that we had john kerry the secretary of state say after his meeting in jordan with the palestinian president that he wants leaders to lead. he wants the violence that we've seen there, the cycle of violence, tamped

president mahmoud abbas used his speech at the u.n.al assembly to attack israel for what he saw as a breach the oslo accords, the agreement signed no 1993 were meant to provide a basis for peace, here is our diplomatic editor james bays. >> reporter: raised for the first time at the united natio nations. the flag of the state of palestine, following a decision by the u.n. general assembly, observer states, there are two, palestine and the holy sea, are now allowed to fly their national flags. the ceremony was attending by palestinian president mahmoud abbas and the u.n. secretary general. >> i sincerely hope that a successful peace process will soon yield. but they -- when we unfold the palestinian flag in its proper place among the family the nations as a sovereign member of the state of the united nations. >> reporter: however, the political process to lead to that day is deadlocked. in his speech to the general assembly, president abbas put all the blame on the israelis. he said he needed to raise the alarm about recent violence in

later he will then meet with palestinian president mahmoud abbas. it is unclear what the secretary of state can actually do to end the violence. >> mayhem caught on camera, moments later gunmen opened fire in a bus station in southern israel. in the town of beersheba short after dark. one soldier died and several others including civilian and security force members were wounded. the attack came as u.s. secretary of state john kerry prepares to meet with officials to restore calm. >> later in the week i will meet with prime minister netanyahu because he will be in germany and i'm coming through at that moment. we will meet there. >> reporter: kerry also plans to speak with mahmoud abbas. >> if you want a solution can you not talk about the two parties as though there is a false symmetry. you have to really engage to bring israel into compliance with international humanitarian law and with the requirements of peace. but to do business as usual once again can be extremely dangerous and counterproductive. >> israeli officials disagree. they say the u.s.

but that symbolic moment has been overshadowed by palestinian president mahmoud abbas' declaration that he's no longer bound by the oslo accords, he's accused israel of breaching the agreement signed in 1993 which were meant to provide a basis for peace. our diplomatic h editor james
