so, why did mahmoud abbas cancel the elections? people are being killed as we speak.e aggression continues. and then we discuss one individual here and there. because what matters is the future. what matters is what the palestinian people are being offered by their own leaders. of course. and we need elections, and elections must be convened. but mahmoud abbas cancelled the elections which were due to be held on may 22nd. we are proud... hamas wanted those elections. mahmoud abbas said no. why? well, i'm glad you're defending homes in this conversation. it's not a question of defending anybody. i'm trying to get to a point where you discuss with me how palestinians achieve a credible, coherent leadership. stephen, it's the national movement. it's the plo that has been based on the concept, the notion of popular democracy. without that popular democracy, we would have never been able to do what we have done in the international arena. i wouldn't have an office here and an embassy representing palestinians. no—one cares about democracy more than us. and we do not consid

mahmoud abbas said no. why? well, i'm glad you're defending hamas.a point where you discuss with me how palestinians achieve a credible, coherent leadership. stephen, it's the national movement. it's the plo that has been based on the concept, the notion of popular democracy. without that popular democracy, we would have never been able to do what we have done in the international arena. i wouldn't have an office here and an embassy representing palestinians. no—one cares about democracy more than us. and we do not consider democracyjust to be a way of renewing our political system. no, we look at democracy as a resistance tool. and hear it from me, it is the way, when our people cast their vote, it is also a national vote to rid ourselves of the military occupation, and we understand the significance of the convening of elections. yet there are issues. so we have been convening elections only in the arab region all these years... you haven't had an election since 2006. we have real issues. we cannot convene elections without gaza, 2 million of our p

mahmoud abbas has been in power, really, just by his own choice for the last ten years.n put himself up for election, has he? you're correct and i think that's terrible for the palestinian people and terrible, frankly, for the eventual hopeful prospects for peace. jason greenblatt. he was the trump envoy for the middle east. this is the scene as dawn breaks in gaza city as the ceasefire appears to be holding. the first quiet dawn for gaza, the gaza strip, for the last 12 days. 0vernight people have been celebrating on the streets and cars have been driving around blowing their horns, one in itself is declaring this ceasefire a victory for what they have achieved —— hamas. israel has pushed hard, though, against them, as you can see there, just from the skyline, so many buildings, so much of the infrastructure has been knocked out by those air strikes over, what, just coming up strikes over, what, just coming up to two weeks of conflict between hamas, who fired 4000 rockets, we'rejust between hamas, who fired 4000 rockets, we're just hearing, israel itself. so has the cea

>> mahmoud abbas is irrelevant. palestine authority was supposed to have all of and bibi netanyahu himself's. destroyed that prospect of the oslo peace accords, and left the palestine authority with only 40% of the west bank, and even there, they armed the thumb of the israeli military occupation. they can't do anything israel doesn't want them to do when they are basically policing these people for israel. so richard haas is just wrong about mahmoud abbas. it is the situation on the ground. people in the night and states don't actually follow events in the west bank and gaza and they are almost never on the news, unless there is a big blowup like this. but if you read palestinian -israeli newspapers about what has been going on in every little town and village in the west bank, you see brutalization, colonization, militant squatter/settlers from israel and palestinian land that they stole from palestinian families, burning down their olive trees, cutting them down, invading their property, building on it, taking ov

however, mahmoud abbas is some kind of a mayor of ramallah or the occupied territories.al who controls if mahmoud abbas leaves his home or doesn�*t leave his home, if mahmoud abbas can go out or travel or does not travel. and that israeli general takes orders from the israeli prime minister. so who controls the land from the sea, the mediterranean sea, to thejordan river is israel. so if we look to who won this round, i would say bibi netanyahu. he managed to delay a new coalition to be replacing his government. he managed to take everybody back to the same point that this started. we had four wars in 14 years with gaza, and gaza is still under siege. eastjerusalem people are being evicted, displaced. we still have now the occupied territories still under occupation with 200 settlements and 600,000 settlers so the situation is escalating, it�*s... crosstalk. who conceded what then, or was it pressure from the united states that finally made israel halt this offensive? it was simply president biden pressured by the democratic party — especially the left wing of the democr

recognized by international community leading the palestinian authority this is mahmoud abbas's fatah forces this is a long wish between these 2 sides of palestinian society for many years this political if now is being. taken to the extent of being a big part of fueling this feud because the fight is over dominance and of control of jerusalem and showing careful jerusalem abbas as my. as you would like to does not have any say in what happens in gaza and what hamas is doing and how they're operating this is this is maybe the tragedy of what we're seeing now with you know palestinian unity is trying to come together but the political struggle is such that hamas has the ability to do whatever you want without having any leverage or any sanction over that ok sunny thank you very much for your time chani resigned us from the. violence has spilled out onto the streets across israel in cities where jews and arabs live side by side the latest on rest has reignited longstanding tensions between the 2 communities we have this report from one district of the coastal city of tel aviv. anonymous

biden has again emphasized israel's right to defend itself and has told the palestinian president mahmoud abbas that hamas must end its rocket bombardment of israel meanwhile there's been more bloodshed in the palestinian territories multiple members of an extended family in gaza were killed by israeli bombs israeli airstrikes also destroyed a tower block i was seeing apartments and offices of international media organizations. 13 stories reduced to rubble in seconds israel not hesitating to strike back hard against hamas. the building housed international news agencies israel's defense forces say hamas intelligence was using the media as unwitting human shields. warned about the attack journalists pleaded with an israeli intelligence officer for more time. look here from the a.p. news agency all of our equipment is in there including cameras and editing equipment give me 15 minutes to get it out. request denied the airstrike went ahead as planned. in another part of gaza a family of 10 had no warning before bombs flattened their home they were killed in their sleep all except for baby om

why what we know about the conversation between president biden and the israeli prime minister and mahmoud abbas is that he has not called for a cease fire he has not put any pressure on israel to stop the slaughter that's underway in gaza and that this is a very familiar situation in which it appears that the u.s. is taking the lead from israel on when they are ready for a cease fire and netanyahu has made clear he is not ready for a cease fire he said that our aim is to send hemis a message that it's not worth sending these rockets he is still sending that message and this is very reminiscent of earlier situations in 2006 with the the israeli war on lebanon connelly's or rice then the secretary of state to to george bush said we aren't we don't want a ceasefire yet implying presumably there were not enough dead people yet we see is something similar here it's quite dangerous. still ahead here in al-jazeera a vote that will give women more say in rewriting chillis constitution that dates back decades to its military dictatorship. bodies of suspected covert 9000 victims of dumped in india

international community is calling for calm joe biden has reached out to the palestinian president mahmoud abbas how much influence does about's have when it comes to this conflict unfortunately not much i mean what we're seeing here is a result of the split that is this long divide between hamas that is operating in gaza and ruling gaza de facto even though it's not a knowledge of an international community and we see the rule as the was recognized by international community leading the palestinian authority this is mahmoud abbas this is fatah forces this is along with between these 2 sides of palestinian society for many years this political if now is being you know taken to the extent of being a big part of fueling this feud because the fight is over dominance and of control of jerusalem and showing careful jerusalem abbas as much as you would like to. not have any say in what happens and what hamas is doing or how they're operating this is this is maybe the tragedy of what we're seeing now you know palestinian unity is trying to come together but the political struggle is such that ham

what, what complicity does mahmoud abbas and the palestinian authority have for the conditions we see now? well, no, no. the boss is irrelevant. and, you know, the palestine authority was supposed to have all of palestine by the late ninety's and b, b, not 10. yo himself. destroyed that prospect of the peace accords and left the color staying authority was only 40 percent of the west bank and even they're, they're, they're under the thumb of the israeli military occupation. they can't do anything with israel, doesn't want them to do. and then they're basically policing, these people for israel. so ma'am, i mean richard. haas is just wrong to one of us is the situation on the ground. the people in the united states don't, don't actually follow events in the west bank and gaza and they're almost never on the news unless there's some big blow up like this. but if you read the palestinian israeli newspapers about what's been going on in every little town in and dillard's in the west bank, then you see brutalization, you can see colonization. you see these militant squatters settlers from

i tend to blinking, met with a senior president mahmoud abbas. how can you convince him to trust the us when he's on the other side of backing israel so firmly? well, i think it's nothing new that there's a very close relationship between israel and the united states. but i think you have to see it on different levels. i think this, this is by the secretary of state, antennae thinking was very important for the palestinian authority. their relationship with the previous administration under the former president, trump was extremely trained actually broke down after don't try to move the embassy from television to jerusalem, the policy and then put the relationship on the ice. and there was not much contact for the past couple of years and that should change no. so there is a restart in these relations received from just as well from the americans to what's the palestinian authority. but also, you know, it's strengthening of their position via us in gaza. but if you wouldn't, every palestinian stacy evolve, they know they do not see really an hone

any evidence whatsoever so we also know the president biden also talked to palestinian president mahmoud abbas what they talked about again we don't have the readout yet from the white house so this is probably going to be the most closely watched statement coming from this administration since this began and will be looking to see if there's any sorts of movement after the bombing of international media outlets in gaza up until now passee the i guess the reaction from the blood in the strait and had been we have not seen a significant overreaction on the part of israel brackets israel has the rights to the right to self-defense close brackets might the events in gaza just in the past 4 or 5 have had to change the optics surrounding that stuns. it's quite possible we're already seeing israel that used to be a nonpartisan issue had the support of democrats and republicans in the united states that is changed under the leadership of benjamin netanyahu we are seeing a lot of pressure from the more progressive side of the democratic party openly calling the president to do more we have a let

as far as the palestinian authority are concerned and policy president mahmoud abbas because he's not had high level engagement with the americans since. well, over 3 years, it was that he cuts off contact off the trump administration, decided to move the u. s. embassy from television to jerusalem bots, whether they're going to be happy with the message that's coming from set country blank, and that's not clear. certainly they will like the fact that it looks like he's going to announce some funding some funding for the reconstruction of garza, possibly some funding for the west bank as well. but what they'd really like is him to announce that he wants to actively stay in this region pursuing diplomacy to start further efforts to get to a 2 state solution. and it's very clear from this administration before the 11 days of bombardment of gauze that they're not very interested in doing that. they have a lot of foreign policy priorities. things like afghanistan and iran, nuclear deal, climate. how to deal with china, how to deal with russia, and this from the beginning of the biden admin

that mahmoud - minnesotans, 21. i think that's the... that mahmoud abbas i minnesotans, 21.- the... that mahmoud abbas doesn't have any influence over hamas in that regard. if anything, i think the republicans would want to see the republicans would want to see the biden administration pull away from iran, who have influence. but that isn't necessarily going to happen because there are discussions over the nuclear programme. the progressive wing of the democrats want to see the biden administration condemn israel more, so it's extremely thorny, as always, issue, and a very difficult one for the biden administration to pick a clear path amid the violence. you biden administration to pick a clear path amid the violence.— biden administration to pick a clear path amid the violence. you speak of the fact that — path amid the violence. you speak of the fact that there _ path amid the violence. you speak of the fact that there is _ path amid the violence. you speak of the fact that there is a _ path amid the violence. you speak of the fact that there is a security - the fact that

as you said, he's spoken with pal is stipjanuary -- palestinian president mahmoud abbas. is also diplomatically engaged with regional countries there, talking about egypt, qatar, jordan as well as the palestinian officials, and we see benjamin netanyahu on the screen alongside, you know, saying to his people, listen, i'm aware of what's happening. obviously, i'm on top of this, and i am going to do everything i can to protect my people which, of course, as the leader, he should do. so i'm asking you to also make sure we don't forget about the people, the palestinian people, on the other side. what is the ask of mr. netanyahu to december deescalate? >> well, as far as this tension right now and this war is intensifying or clash, whatever you want to call it. and biden has to lower the temperature, and netanyahu's saying i'm going to defend my people which, of course, he should. every leader should. arthel: so what does president biden, what does president biden do? what does he do at this point? beyond what he's already doing? >> i think biden has to continue to do what he

mahmoud abbas, long overstaying his term. just canceled legislative elections. in large measure because he thinks his side can't win. fatah in particular is of diminishing credibility. his ability to speak to bella 10 -- to ballot 10 -- the palestinians is compromised. on the israeli side you have benjamin netanyahu, who has failed in his effort to put together a majority coalition after israel's fourth round of elections. we seem to be going toward a fifth. i think you have a battle, in some cases to try to play a nationalist card to show we are not going to take it. people in the israel said this is helping benjamin netanyahu, who is comfortable playing a nationalist card. when you talk about actually resolving this in a longer-term way, i think it is hard to make a lot of progress when you have these political vacuums with hamas, with the palestinian authority, and israel. it could be that a crisis could pave the way for a deeper discussion about where we are trying to go with this and what is the endgame. that discussion has not happened, and as long as bomb

but let's understand that mahmoud abbas postponed an election that could have led to better leadershipgaza and the west bank into a more coherent and more responsible government. >> congresswoman, we're almost out of time. your book, "the insanity defense," comes from the old saying that you've talking about, governor hogan talks about, that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. real quick, that applies obviously to the mideast conflict, but president biden was hoping to redirect to competing with china. does the premise of your book make it clear that he just can't do that because of the realities? >> no, i think he can do that. and again, i think his interim national security strategy to take the foreign out of foreign policy and make it relevant to americans is right on. the one thing that is sad is to see this breakdown in congress especially of the republican party in the house. as i say in the last chapter, we have the incredible shrinking congress and they have to been an equal partner in an effective foreign policy. >> well said, it

shell of the iranian regime protection while i'm still here with the former president of iran dr mahmoud ahmadinejad as you just heard if someone is watching this interview in a nato country they will know that their main media tells them your country is not a democracy it is executing people human rights violations it is. a brutal country that funds terrorism all around the region would you say to people who watch that on the news every day where iran is mentioned. the right to determine one's fate is a god given right. and no individual at the group or power or none under any circumstances of the honeyed even in the name of providing security in an argument is allowed to limit or deny that right on. i want to see what happened in the world recently and you made a mention of them through the show in washington and elsewhere should show that we have a long way to go before we achieve true democracy and you know. throughout history. the philosophy of forming governments. has been to provide security and freedom to nations that's how. however they about. on the pretext of providing securit

, and at another point, a separate call, he spoke with the president of the plenty can authority, mahmoud. what you see the president trying to do in this period, is that the president is trying to strike this delicate and tricky balance when it comes to supporting israel's right to defend itselves, but also trying to express concerns for the palestinian people. i said to real a bit of how the white house describes that phone call. they said the president noted this current period that is tragically claimed the lives of israeli and palestinian civilians, including children. he raised concern about the safety and security of journalists and reinforced the need to ensure their protection. this comes after an air strike flattened that building in gaza that was home to the associated press and a few other media outlets. the white house has indicated they've been stressing to the israeli government they need to ensure the safety and protection of journalists. this is a situation the white house has been working on for days, making phone calls to those regional partners in the middle east. the

biden has again emphasized israel's right to defend itself and has told the palestinian president mahmoud abbas that hamas must end its rocket bombardment of israel meanwhile there's been more bloodshed in the palestinian territories multiple members of an extended family in gaza were killed by israeli bombs israeli airstrikes also destroyed a tower block housing apartments and offices of international media organizations. 13 stories reduced to rubble in seconds israel not hesitating to strike back hard against hamas. the building housed international news agencies israel's defense forces say hamas intelligence was using the media as unwitting human shields. warned about the attack journalists pleaded with an israeli intelligence officer for more time. look here from the a.p. news agency all of our equipment is in there including cameras and editing equipment give me 15 minutes to get it out. request denied the airstrike went ahead as planned. in another part of gaza a family of 10 had no warning before bombs flattened their home they were killed in their sleep all except for baby omar so

biden's first call with mahmoud abbas.te house summary said the president “underscored his strong commitment to a negotiated two-state solution as the best path to reach a just and lasting resolution of the israeli-palestinian conflict.” as of this afternoon, israel has reported at least seven deaths since the start of the conflic in gaza, the death toll is now reported to be at least 126. for more on the conflict, i spoke with npr correspondent daniel estrin who joined us from jerusalem earlier today. so, daniel, let's start with the latest. what have you been experiencing in the past few hours? >> well, the latest news is that the associated press bureau in gaza city was flattened in an israeli attack. the ap bureau was located in a high rise building along with al jazeera and other offices, and the owner of the building received a call from the israeli military notifying him that the building would be attacked and evacuate now. it attacked the building with airstrikes and demolished it. and then later israel announced t

probably stimulus who are in control of the west bank that these the palestinian authority under mahmoud abbas hamas does not recognize israel and once every several years. you could exchange of blows unfortunate civilians on either side and what is really intense right now is to delineate the next round for several more years i would suggest one of the major problems is a mere it's not palestinian people don't see it as direct as not israel against hamas they would see it israel against the palestinian people on indeed probably islam as well. yes this is one way to look at it. it's i'm being i know how it is not israel's fault 'd or they need to get their message i care. yes yes but you know propaganda is something else but the reality on the ground is much more complicated because it's hamas versus use mustn't. the elections there 'd it's a triangle it's not just an exchange you will between 2 participants. and a 4th one the arab citizens of israel many of whom have. this past week and israel is now facing an intel of. 2 to gaza well yeah which is worrying as well just on the internati

administration over the past several years this was apparently the 1st time the president spoke to mahmoud abbas since the conflict began 2 2nd time that he spoke to benjamin netanyahu into both of them he expressed concern about the loss of life and what he called intercommunal violence that is violence between individuals. in those 2 groups to abbas he said ultimately the solution to this is a 2 state solution that has been for a long time u.s. policy to netanyahu he reiterated that the u.s. position is that israel has a right to self-defense and to both men he condemned the firing of rockets by hamas out of gaza. and now that wild news ahead on al-jazeera as the bodies of 2000 suspected over 1800 every convert from the river ganges we know that how india is coping with a pandemic. until recently the baltic sea just tweeted where a joy and oxygen free dead zone is one of the latest symptoms of climate change. it's time for the perfect jenny. sponsored plan cuts at ways oh let's show you where that intense cycle is feigning right now toward the arabian sea look what it did in careless sta

what we have read out from the white house on both of them to mahmoud abbas president biden expressed sympathy for the lives lost among palestinians he expressed concern that so many of them were children and he expressed concern about what he called the intergroup violence that is the street violence between non military israelis and palestinians is well he condemned the rockets being fired out of gaza by hamas and he expressed their desire that ultimately this could all be resolved by a 2 state solution that is the official u.s. policy to benjamin netanyahu the president made his 2nd call and in that he expressed his support for israel's right in his words of self-defense also condemning those hamas rocket attacks and expressing concern about the loss of life and updating netanyahu on the diplomatic efforts which have not really seemed to have pressured israel to strongly to curtail their actions there because as you have reported here netanyahu says they are going to continue with their military operations and how common is it to see solidarity protests for palestinians taking plac

these clashes that we see the use the word clashes here in nato nation media this is the fault of mahmoud abbas and. well listen i am not in love city i am leader of an opposition democratic party and we object to mr ambassador cancelling the elections but the argument that mr ambassador was providing bogus which declared that it will not allow palestinians to have elections and he still isn't and is denying us that i thought were going to use the market forces into those and we all know the new well know where or how you know york i know you are you know people saying you will cross the electoral threshold if there were elections but you can organize some kind of election you can use a mobile phone or some other method of doing you don't count on the elections we know. that's our point we said. that our bus was discussing it we said we should not i but with israelis do we should challenge and conduct elections in east jerusalem without the us by nicking their elections inside was only an act of nonviolent resistance and the even provided a full plan was distributed $160.00 and so this is

the president has spoken to benjamin netanyahu the prime minister of israel but hasn't spoken to mahmoud abbas the head of the palestinian authority and although the secretary of state has spoken to both sides the person that has been sent was not the secretary of state the person who's going to be dealing with these negotiations from the u.s. perspective is as you mentioned a deputy assistant secretary of state for israeli palestinian affairs. and that sends the message of this is not a big priority for the biden administration and the president has come out saying 1st of all that israel has a right to self-defense and he went on to say that israel was not acting disproportionately that is despite a lot to death toll which is much heavier on the gaza side that has put the white house press secretary jen psaki in a tough position she has had to walk back some of those comments and defend the u.s. position is even handed here's a little of what she had to say. israel has the right to self defense our focus remains on continuing to use every lever at our disposal to deescalate the situatio

this is mahmoud's brother.cupied territories and in israel, events this week have exposed once again the mutual hatred and fear that are the essence of this conflict. this was hebron during a day of protests on the occupied west bank. more palestinians were killed. fireworks pop. injerusalem, palestinians pelted jewish settlers with stones and fireworks. the settlers hit back with live bullets. this was sheikh jarrah, where attempts to evict palestinians from their homes helped start the escalation to war. the conflict crosses borders. injordan, the country next door, security forces kept protesters back from the frontier. palestinians make up more than half thejordanian population — mostly refugees from past wars not permitted to return by israel. history never dies in this conflict. people do. jeremy bowen, bbc news, jerusalem. well, earlier i spoke to the bbc�*s internet producer in gaza, rushdi abualouf and asked him to update us on the latest israeli air strike in gaza. it has been a very long night involv

there is nothing right now to celebrate for the palestinian president mahmoud abbas, upstaged by hisivals. no peace, security or stability is possible, he said, whilejerusalem is occupied by israel. this war mightjust save benjamin netanyahu's career. he was about to lose his job last weekend. he is still in political trouble but now he has soldiers to congratulate and his rivals are quiet. the prime minister said the fight against hamas would take time, but israel would decisively restore quiet. it is a modest war aim, he will need more to tell israelis before this can end. especially in sderot, the town closest to gaza. a five—year—old boy was killed after a rocket hit his building. his neighbours have had enough. it is very, very difficult to live under these circumstances and the government should wipe out gaza, should wipe out gaza, once and for all. right across israel and the occupied territories this was the town of hebron last night on the occupied west bank. young palestinians and israelis, confronting each other, another generation cursed by the failures of its leaders. we
