this is a natural question, no, but if mahmoud abaas raises this question, it will be discussed, butdifferent level, i don’t know, he will raise this question if there is a russian response to this, no, well, well, if he doesn’t there will be no answer, i know how negotiations are underway, they raise questions that have an answer, i say, this, this question will not be answered, not and not because mahmoud abbas does not want to, because this is not a question for russia, if russia is like that again. format, in any case, the un raised the question of ending the question, the un, if russia raises the question of a palestinian state believes that this is necessary, i believe, in my opinion, it would be most useful if it confirmed the need to return power to gaza, the legitimate authority of the palestinian authority, this is not our question at all, this is the same question, sir, this will tell you. no, if abbas wants to raise this issue, this is one moment, i did not say what abbas wants, i said that i am saying what we want, this is not included in our questions at all, our questi

eome might say, mahmoud abbas. some redict that might say, mahmoud abbas.ge in leadership in the palestinian authority in the aftermath of what has happened now. what would that change of leadership look like? around the world we see ageing leaders, in israel as well somebody has been on the political scene for a long time. is there any succession planning, anybody who wants to move towards peace? u nfortu nately wants to move towards peace? unfortunately not. this has been a very contentious issue within the palestinian authority and more generally within palestine. there is no clear successor. again this is something that hamas will take advantage of politically. a lot of what is happening today can actually be to the political advantage of hamas. , ., ., ., ., hamas. there is a lot of not simmering _ hamas. there is a lot of not simmering anger— hamas. there is a lot of not simmering anger about - hamas. there is a lot of not - simmering anger about outbursts of anger, _ simmering anger about outbursts of anger, we _ simmering anger about outbursts of an

we handed gaza over to mahmoud abbas and we didn't want any more issues with gaza.s of thousands of rockets on israel. my own family in my home, just about ten minutes, ago had sirens about ten minutes ago, had sirens and we were down in the shelter. and it's all stemming from the very gaza that we handed over to the palestinians. so this thing of whining all day about israel is utter nonsense. there is an aggressor here. the aggressor is the palestinians and hamas. and we're going to hit back. what does hitting back look like? we've already seen the number of, we think, at least 200 people killed in gaza. it's not clear how many of those may be militants or not. we don't have clarification. we've seen israeli rockets target the leader of the hamas organisation's home. where does this end in terms of retaliation on gaza? it doesn't need to end soon. all israelis stand behind the government and are giving as much time as necessary to the idf to do the job. and i want to be very clear. a home, a school, a hospital that hosts terrorists is not a home. it's not a school

as _ mahmoud abbas to shortly. horrible thing to happen. as you _ mahmoud abbas to shortly.abbas to shortly. horrible thing to happen. as you said, it i thing to happen. as you said, it needs to be confirmed that it was an israeli airstrike. but the number of casualties as reporting are a norm is and could grow. it was a hospital, a place where there are people who are sick but also a place where people were sheltering, which is the neck they have been doing a hospitals thinking that would be a safe zone, they would not be hit that way. it is really one of the worst things that could've happened before president bidens trip and will obviously complicate mr blinken said efforts as well. because it is going to throw the spotlight on the humanitarian crisis and the civilian casualties and the operation in gaza against hamas in how civilians are being endangered because of it. that is something that the americans have been addressing more and more. they continue to say they support the israeli right and duty and so on to eliminate hamas, to strike a forceful blow against it but

so mahmoud our correspond our political analyst joining us now uh from lahore uh, mr. mahmoud, you were talking to us about uh the level of support that the israeli, israelis received from western countries from the likes of the united states, basically how far are the... the uh uh are these uh countries uh willing to go in support of the israelis, we saw some footage uh earlier about uh regarding united nations security council meeting which took place uh where a russia proposed humanitarian ceasefire was vetoed by the uh allies of the united states and the israely regime in the united nations security council talked to us about that as well. all right, i'm being told that we're gonna uh air some uh some gruesome footage uh that uh took place following uh the attack the israeli attack on the hospital uh in central gaz of your discretion is advised. وهذه هي القذيفه الثانيه وهذه بعض اثار ذلك القصف الذي تلقاه المستشفى المعمداني اليوم التالي وبكل وقاحه يتصل. ما يعرف بجيش الدفاع الاسرائيلي على مدير المستشفى الدكتور ماهر عياد ليقول له لقد تم تحذيركم بالامس بقذيفتين المكان ا

are no results, insofar as the discussions were conducted over behind closed doors, as a result, mahmoud abas said that he called on, by the way, the palestinians of the west bank not to participate in today's actions that hamas spoke about, he called on the palestinians, he called on the arab countries to hold actions of solidarity with the islamists in the gaza strip today, so the president of the palestinian authority, mahmoud abbas, ordered the population and the security forces... not to allow this kind of demonstrations, so apparently there are some discussions going on, this statement by mahmoud abbas is somehow connected with those issues that he discussed with the head of the american state department, but it is obvious that on the agenda, firstly, there were issues of ground operations in the gaza strip, the palestinians are categorically against it, and the king of jordan, abdullah ii, opposed this, negotiations are taking place there, in jordan, in aman, secondly, speaking out... against this, mahmoud aabas, however, is not going to, is not trying to prevent the population of

that was because president mahmoud _ have any end.because - president mahmoud abbas boycotted the meeting that was due to take place in the capital ofjordan at a time when there was an explosion at the hospital in gaza and at that point mahmoud abbas really was not in the mood for a meeting. yes, i manuel macron has gone to where the palestinian authority has its headquarters and well mahmoud abbas is, trying to engage him and maybe discuss what the future might be for the palestinian authority, may be in gaza when all of this is over, all highly speculative. there is supposed to be a demonstration to coincide with the visit of president macron. many palestinians feel the international community as a whole is giving israel far too much a licence to kill palestinians in the gaza strip with the death toll down their continuing to sort was number is quite staggering, well over 5000, approaching 6000 palestinians now killed in the last 2.5 weeks so in some ways, the influence of macron on the ground as limited as he is regarded as a rathe

mahmoud, allow me to uh announce the breaking news, we have hamas said that is fired, rockets at tel aviv, following israeli attacks on civilians in the besieged gaza strip, we've been seeing uh the retaliatory attacks taking place by the gaza based resistance uh deep into uh into israel uh... if you're still with us, mariam is our correspondent in the lebanese capital, beirout. miam, we're seeing the uh, the retaliatory rocket attacks uh, hitting uh cities inside israel, and coupling that with what took place on saturday, the alaxsa flood operation, uh, do you think that there's been a serious flaw expos now in the israeli intelligence and security and military apparatus? yeah. definitely, this is what all the experts are talking about, um, this is something that has always already been polluted to uh by many, including hazballah secretary general, back in 2000 when hazbullah's resistance continued, of course with its resistance and its war of retrition against the israeli occupation in lebanon, there was a withdrawal, and made very historic speech then and said that the this israel

abbas is in moscow, mahmoud abbas is...t’s here is hamas, and yes, and hamas is coming, please check, arrived or is coming, but is coming, either he arrived today, or he is arriving today, no, that he is coming, maybe he... will visit moscow soon , it is significant that he will soon make it, and now, if, for example, mahmoud abbas comes out and says, we demand the restoration of legitimate palestinian power in the territory of gas and ask for international. the community will support us in this, let him say, well, what will they think, then we will discuss, international, he is from the middle east, he was born in safed, i have a different culture, he will not say until he receives assurance for this that he will give him a positive answer, that’s all, but how will we then know that he is asking this question if he doesn’t voice it, and why should we, in russia, as is customary, if you don’t say it, then you don’t need it. there will be a signal if he will at least informally voice this question, of course. but from the po

soy and mahmoud joining us uh from lahore, mr. mahmoud, you you talk to us about this uh, this unequivocal support that the united states has been giving to the likes. of uh of the israeli prime minister that we're seeing right there bany netanyahu and the constant support that washington has given throughout the years to the israeli onslot against palestinians in gaza and the israeli occupation of palestinian land uh in the occupied west bank uh how would you break down this level of of support when we're seeing innocent palestinians being slaughtered by the uh by the israeli onslot. but and yet still we see uh the uh the americans coming out in total support of israel at this point in time support to israel has to be taken for granted and you have to understand the tremendous organization, the tremendous power of the israel pro israel lobby in the usa, i mean for the american public affairs committee is a formidable organization and to its credit, i mean has has lot of connections, has lot of networks and you know acts very swif

mahmoud, welcome to the program. the israelis targeted uh hospital al-aha hospital in central gaza uh yesterday, the death toll is continuing to r so many people are trapped under the rubble as we speak, give us your perspective on this recent israeli crime and shouldn't there in your opinion be serious consequences for such crimes, killing of children, targeting schools, targeting medical facilities by these israeles. the horrific incident is a turning point in this war. what happened was that this was hospital and it was designated as a take place by international law, and you know, this incident has shocked the world, i mean especially the muslim world, the arab world, there are now demonstrations in iran, iraq, tunisia, jordan, pakistan, malaysia, and tunisia, many places, this is absolutely shocking and cannot be tolerated at all, this is going to create a... very serious problem for president biden who is on his way to israel, because he actually wanted to show solidarity and support to israel first hand as the

we have also had reaction to that request from mahmoud abbas.ot in control in the gaza strip. hamas are in control there. but mahmoud abbas is saying he has rejected the calls to move, he called it forced displacement of palestinians. but he did add the need for humanitarian corridors to get aid in, potentially one presumes people out. let's cross to our correspondent lyse doucet now. she is in sderot, southern israel. we have had plenty of reaction coming out in the last hour to this request by the idf, for that many people, 1.1 million people to move south. what have you been seeing and witnessing where you are? we have also seen reaction _ witnessing where you are? we have also seen reaction from _ witnessing where you are? we have also seen reaction from hamas - witnessing where you are? we have also seen reaction from hamas to i also seen reaction from hamas to that statement and to israel's nonstop bombardment. there have been many missile attacks here in sderot where we are now, it is less than a mile from the border, also in the city of

in this war, made a bet in this game, bet on netanya, bet... can one behave in this situation, can mahmoudas seize control of the gas sector if the israelis clear it of hamas, all this really looks very theoretical, everything this is due to the start of a military operation, which israeli military politicians are still hesitant to begin, firstly, because they are preparing, secondly, because not all the militants who operated on israeli territory have yet been destroyed, thirdly, because what there is the hezbollah factor, there is the factor of the palestinian street of the west bank, by the way, tomorrow, at the call of hamas, many palestinians will probably participate in special actions, hamas called it a general palestinian mobilization, on the west bank in jerusalem, and directly in israel itself , so it is quite possible that tomorrow more and more forces will join the general confrontation, whether politicians will be able to take all this into account, take it into account and somehow cope with this problem, but it will remain to be seen near future. is there some kind of pragmat

wednesday , a summit on regulation in palestine was supposed to be held in jordan, but its head, mahmoudas, after the tragedy in the hospital, refused to participate in it and negotiate with the presidents of the united states and egypt, and also king of jordan. abas considers such a meeting simply useless. egypt, saudi arabia and turkey condemned the attack on the palestinian hospital. syrian authorities said they were responsible. for what happened lies not only on israel, but on its western community. the lebanese group hezbollah declared wednesday , october 18, quote, a day of rage, canadian prime minister trudeau called the attack on a hospital in gaza unacceptable and terrible, president erdogan called on the international community to stop the unprecedented cruelty in gaza. after the brutal statements, harsh statements by the turkish leader, the israeli authorities called on their citizens to urgently leave the country. the us called on israel to adhere to the so-called laws of war. and the head of european diplomacy, josep barel , called the attack on the hospital a horrific crim

[000:00:00;00] the more moderate wing to mahmoud abbas, he again, what mahmoud abbas says , he was silent, after when when habas attacked, everyone was silent, everyone was silent, no one said anything, no one condemned anyone, and the actions of hamas, the arab east did not condemn, they were waiting to see how it would end, and then let's say mahmoud abbas, the leader of the palestinian authority, he will be in 5 days, that is, when it happened... uh, it is clear what israel will do, and as far as israel, they just showed up there, i understand them, i understand them very, very good, if we had the opportunity to respond in the same way, in the same way that israel responds after the buchi, then we would have done the same , the same, so mahmoud abbas says that let's, let's stop the aggression, we must give electricity, we need to look for it, we need a humanitarian corridor and so on , that is... i, i do not see that anyone is looking for this way out, that is , a way out, those who say that it is necessary to look for a diplomatic way out, they see the way out , that israel will not d

abbas he again what mahmoud abaas says he kept quiet after when khabas attacked everybody kept quietno one said anything no one condemned no one yes hamas actions arab east did not condemn, they were waiting to see how it would end, and then, let 's say, mahmoud abbas, the leader of the palestinian authority, he will be in 5 days, that is, when it became clear what was going to do... israel and as far as israel, they just showed up there, i understand them, i understand them very, very well, if we had the opportunity to respond in the same way, in the same way that israel responds after the massacre, then we did the same thing, the same thing , mahmoud abbas says let's stop the aggression, we need to give electricity, we need to, we need to search, we need humanitarian corridors and so on, that is...

have a lot of work right now, they are meeting with israeli representatives, they will meet with mahmoudrritory of jordan, insofar as the question arises not only about palestinian refugees, but about the future gas sector, and the question also arises that today hamas has called on the population of the west bank, israeli arabs, arabs neighboring israel countries are starting mass protests, they are being carried out, they are now taking place on the lebanese border, there demonstrators are trying to climb over the security fence and on the territory of jordan, where ... disperses such rallies, and directly in the palestinian authority, before the meeting with the american head diplomatic department, mahmoud abbas called on residents of the west bank not to support or participate in the activities that hamas calls on them to do, but will the israeli intelligence services, which is now is on duty, including in jerusalem, in the area of ​​the temple mount, to keep the situation under control, the coming hours will show. seryozha, a week after that terrible nightmare absolutely saturday fo

we have heard from president mahmoud of us saying palestinians have the right to defend themselves.emselves. they sav- -- that is _ right to defend themselves. they say... that is not _ right to defend themselves. he say... that is not anything right to defend themselves. tie say... that is not anything terribly new from the national authority, but the key thing to point out is how disenfranchised they are, the palestinian people. they are so disillusioned by the leadership on the west bank, and there has obviously been this long running split, this feud between hamas in power in gaza, and the palestinian authority in power in the west bank. there is nothing mahmoud abbas says that makes any difference to an angry young man in the gaza strip? and it is my exteriors when there is these flare—ups, not to mention short wards in gaza, it is good for hamas popularity, perhaps only in the short term, but it certainly boosts their credibility in gaza and the west bank. there were elections way back in 2006, 2007, mahmoud abbas was elected president, and they promised fresh elections ever s

uh palestinians are expressing their anger and there had been calls on the palestinian president mahmoudbank abbas was in amman in the jordanian capital where he met with jordanian king as well as with with you secretary of state and tomorrow it was supposed that abbas will be meeting with visiting us president joe biden where he was going to come to israel and meet the israeli prime minister israeli president and then there were reports that biden would return back to arman in order to hold a meeting with abbas the jordanian king and the egyptian president however after this mass sucker, the palestinian authority said that abbas cancelled or retreated, he said he will not be taking part in the meeting and he decided to return back to the occupied westbank. abbas also announced a three day of morning in the occupied west bank over the hospital massacre, saying in a per statement released by the official, by the official post website wafa news agency saying that three days of morning in gaza to morn of the of this man, the thousands of palestinians who had been killed as well as the presi

richard: i hope that mahmoud abbas is not canceling the meeting.an opportunity for him to voice his views to president biden. palestinians never this an opportunity to miss an opportunity. this would be an opportunity for the head of the palestinian authority to say what he has to say to the president of the united states. again, we will see what the truth is here. yes, it is quite possible that u.s. relations in the region will be afraid. the u.s. wants to give support -- not unconditional support, but support to israel. at the same time it has all sorts of interests in the arab world. by the way, that is nothing new. this is a balancing act the u.s. has been sustaining for 75 years. right now things have grown more acute because of the crisis, but this is not fundamentally different than something we have dealt with over the decades. caitriona: reuters is reporting that the hamas leader has said the u.s. is responsible for the attack on the hospital because of, as he put it, the cover it giving to israel for what they described as the aggression.

now mahmoud said that he will not go to that meeting.nt biden was attempting to do tomorrow and the day after. >> charles: john, could the meeting have covered refugees? from what i understand, abdullah, they've been firm about jordan and egypt not accepting any refugees. this -- it has all the ear marks of a major humanitarian crisis building up at some point. >> really is curious you hear from the arab nation against the plight of the palestinians and they're unwilling to accept any of them in to their countries. what is more about, is getting aid in to gaza to palestinians in south gaza and creating safe zones so that they will have a safe haven away from the fighting. which is why -- the loss of life in this hospital explosion is terrible. it also couldn't come at a worst time because it really is going to butt more and more pressure on israel to cede to a cease fire, more pressure on president biden to put pressure on israel for a cease fire. so the way forward at this point has been muddied by all of this as if it wasn't muddy alre

mahmoud: yes. i do believe in that.ast five years i was on the board of 50-50 and i've seen remarkable evidence of companies who cofounded by israeli and palestinian cofounders. those companies are still running. nine companies were established with israeli and palestinian cofounders. we are targeting the intellectual -- for people who have research on their ideas and those are not opportune -- they have a lot of opportunities to win. let me also add that israel is more advanced than palestine. this is why i joined 50-50 and i was leading 50-50, in order to transfer some knowledge from israel into palestine and from the u.s.. this is why we have partnered with tel aviv university with israeli engineering. those are leading academic institutions and together with northeastern. caroline: you bring your academia to the table as a researcher for the harvard kennedy center. i am interested in your perspective that what are the industries we have seen unique ideas come out of within tech from palestinian entrepreneurs. what a

on wednesday, jordan was supposed to host a summit on a settlement in palestine, but its head, mahmoudthe tragedy in the hospital , refused to participate in it and negotiations with the presidents of the united states and egypt, as well as the king of jordan. abbas considers such a meeting. useless, with a condemnation of the blow to egypt, saudi arabia and turkey supported the palestinian hospital. the syrian authorities said that responsibility for what happened lies not only with israel, but with the entire western community. the lebanese group hezbollah, like hamas, declared wednesday october 18, quote, a day of rage. canadian prime minister trudeau called the terrible attack on a hospital in gas unacceptable. president erdogan called on the international community to stop the unprecedented. the us also called on israel to adhere to the so-called laws of war. the head of european diplomacy, josep barel, called the blow at the hospital a horrific crime and called for those responsible to be brought to justice. and last minute news, us president joe biden has postponed his trip to j

yes, mahmoud abbas has asserted _ many palestinians.has asserted during his speech at the summit, which is still ongoing until now that the displacement or dislocation will not be a solution and he asked for an immediate ceasefire and described what is happening in both gaza and the west bank as against international law. he spoke also of the fact that there should be an eternal solution, a permanent solution for the palestinian cause, notjust solution for the palestinian cause, not just a solution for the palestinian cause, notjust a conflict solution for the palestinian cause, not just a conflict at present and he asked the international community, the security council to try and apply on the ground the international lows and resolution related to the palestinian issue. the palestinians, sorry, the civilians from both sides, the civilians from both sides, the civilians from both sides should be protected and also the hostages should be released as soon as possible. he, of course, uploaded the message of some tracks from the crossing t

earlier, the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas, had already pulled out of the summit with mr bidenhe west bank to hold an emergency meeting of the palestinian authority's leadership. biden is currently on his way to the middle east, where he is still expected to meet with israel's prime minister on wednesday. while aboard air force one, john kirby of the us national security council expressed optimism they will be able to get aid into gaza. our north america editor sarah smith has more on the president's trip. i mean, this is an extraordinary trip, which was a very high stakes gamble even before the news came in of this hospital bombing. it's a visit with two purposes, really. and both of those twofold missions got considerably more difficult today. firstly, he wants to go there to demonstrate what he calls his ironclad commitment to israel and to its right to defend itself. now, that is a position that joe biden has had for well over 50 years now, but it is a position that is much, much more uncomfortable to defend tonight than it was even just this morning. the other thing he wan

biden spoke to both israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and palestinian authority president mahmoudident biden also briefly addressed the violence at a national human rights campaign dinner here in washington dc. in gaza, innocent palestinian families — and the vast majority have nothing to do with hamas... cheering and applause. ..are being used as human shields! yesterday, i spoke for over an hour the family member of those americans who are still unaccounted for on a zoom call. they've endured an agony of not knowing what's happened. and a short while ago i spoke to our north america correspondent shingai nyoka about the us response. shingai, we heard there a bit from president biden�*s speech earlier. what more did he have to say? well, he also added that hate doesn't go away. what he's done in the last week or so, ever since this attack on israel, is that almost every platform that he's been on, he's tried to weave in the narrative of the us support to israel into whatever the agenda was and today, he did exactly that. he wove the issue of rights into the broader discussions ab

secretary of state antony blinken meeting with mahmoud abbas. this is significant. yesterday, abbas was trying to distance the palestinian authority from actions of hamas and the massacre that took place 11 days ago. remember, these are two separate political parties. talking hamas, the group in control of the gaza strip with influence across the west bank, and a political party on the west bank that abbas belongs to, has a military wing themselves. this is important to discuss here. the israelis are concerned that what's happening in the southern part of their country following the attack could spill into the west bank. there were clashes. i they tried to communicate, saying they want to be separate. they understand damage done to the palestinian people as a whole following the massacre of civilians. any sort of deal cut in the region, abbas is part of the conversation. later in the week king hussein in jordan and other regional officials are meeting to discuss the next steps and what takes place here. but again, right now the middle east is bracing for this to spi

and the students of mahmoud fakhri will go to the field to make their position in the single digits . let's be ready with all our hearts. it will be a difficult game. whatever the result, it depends on which team is more fortunate or which team can do better. one of the interesting confrontations of this game is mahmoud fakhri and javad netonameh, who should use the opportunities and which team will play better . they had differences in the past and these are things that will end . well, the athletes will forget this very soon . the esteghlals are not allowed to use the argentinian striker shawono in this game, and they are going to use blanco in the coming weeks after deducting the contract of some players. the player is the decision maker. the management has spoken, if you decide to subtract one point, two points, i don't know , three points. these things are okay. i myself agree if this happens to my team, when you have players, you can make up for it during the season. these days, esteghlal's managers are looking to organize their games outside of tehran, and in the last step , i

from the very first day of the conflict, president mahmoud abbas, refusing to condemn hamas's actionsply of various goods and medicines to the territory of the gaza strip, but you can get into the gaza strip either from egypt or from israel, both routes are completely closed, and the civilian population is forced to endure all these hardships, i just spoke on the phone with the palestinian minister of health , doctor, she told me that nothing is working in palestine now. we don't have enough doctors, we don't have enough hospital capacity, and we're in such a situation when we can continue to provide some services to the civilian population for another 2 days, after monday everything will end for us, and we will no longer be able to do anything, so we call on the international community to intervene to help, because what should the civilian population do in such a situation , how to live, how to feed children, how to get... in recent days , there have been almost continuous contacts between the palestinian leadership and many foreign leaders, foreign states, but taking into account th

we handed garzo over to mahmoud l we handed garzo over to mahmoud abbas.ago. we pulled out every soldier, we were told, we would get released. instead what we got was afghanistan. it is their responsibility as well as hamas. i will say it again: we handed garzo over to mahmoud abbas. we did not want any more issues with gaza. they were shooting tens of thousands of rockets on israel. my own family, in my home, ten minutes ago, they had sirens, we were down in the sale shelter. it is all stemming from the gaza we handed over to the palestinians. this thing off wining all day about israel is utter nonsense. there is an aggressor here, and that is the palestinians. and hamas. and we are going to hit back. iloathed palestinians. and hamas. and we are going to hit back-— going to hit back. what does that look like? we _ going to hit back. what does that look like? we have _ going to hit back. what does that look like? we have already i going to hit back. what does that look like? we have already seen | going to hit back. what does that i look like? we have alre

you have seen protests outside demanding that mahmoud abbas step down. protests, as you mentioned, in amman, jordan, turkey. you will see calls from hamas and other groups for people to take to the streets, to voice their anguish and horror at this event, and all of this coming as president biden expected tomorrow to arrive in israel. obviously, he was supposed to also meet in amman, jordan, with leaders of the palestinian authority of egypt, of jordan. that meeting now has been canceled. i think this calls into question the specter of any possibility to try to resolve the logjam that had existed that was preventing the flow of aid through that rafah broward county in southern gaza strip on the border with egypt to prevent that and allow that aid to get back in. [ inaudible ] it took place in northern gaza city. they asked, the israelis asked people to evacuate, but there were strikes earlier today in the southern part of gaza. i spoke to one family from northern gaza who saw those strikes and said that they did not feel comfortable leaving their hoepgs,
