gaza in the next couple of days the data still to be confirmed this is something that president mahmoud abbas mentioned on the night when the deal was announced and also that one of the senior officials saying that they would be sending a delegation here that they were standing together in opposition to when it comes to this plan but if we're going to be serious about it come on and really look at this plan in detail the reality is very different when it comes to goals as when it comes to the west bank for goals are the details or this needs to be demilitarized the factions you need to lay down their arms if that happens and then 5 years off to the deal is signed there is the potential for a porch here for a small airport and all these kinds of things so for the situation when it comes to the people here it can't get any worse than it is right now many people aren't aware of those little details but certainly i think you know the fact that if you look at the west bank the fact that land is being taken almost legitimized by this plan whose jerusalem there's so much to reject that this is at th

in less than an hour of palestinian president mahmoud abbas is expected to address donald trump's proposed middle east plan with the u.n. security council palestinian leaders have denounced the proposal which they say extends israeli control over their lands on tuesday a vote on a draft resolution was supposed to take place but got delayed because of a lack of international support it's not yet clear when any resolution will be ready for an actual vote let's go live now to stephanie decker who's in west jerusalem so stephanie tell us more about why this resolution on the middle east plan has not made its way through to a vote. well it seems that there has been a lot of american pressure on the members of the security council because of course you know if you look at the imagery you have the palestinian president you would have seen a show of hands rejecting what has been long in the making this so-called deal of the century so from what we understand that there's been immense american pressure in the security council lobbying to you know to not support not have that show has not have that

palestinian leader mahmoud abbas spoke before the 15 member body that leads the united nations and made his case about why palestine is rejecting the proposal put forward by the white house and israel take a listen i have come to you to call for a just peace on behalf of the palestinians that is all i have come to you today to reaffirm the palestinian position which rejects the israeli american proposal this is supported by the results of meetings of the arab league the organization of islamic cooperation and the african union they have all concluded that this plan must be completely rejected that's in addition to statements by the e.u. russia china japan and others now abbas did mention he was open to negotiations with israel as long as the negotiations were sponsored by what is referred to as the international quartet united states the un russia and the european union now the israeli representative got up and spoke and indicated that israel feels that in the past negotiations with palestinians have been unsuccessful here's what we heard from the israeli representative president abbas

and on saturday was rejected at a meeting of the arab league in cairo but palestinian president mahmoud abbas has gone further cutting all ties with israel and the u.s. including security relations the plan has also sparked protests among palestinians who strongly rejected the plan proposes a palestinian state and recognition of israeli settlements in the occupied west bank let's get more i'm joined now by our correspondent in jerusalem tanya kramer tanya 1st of all how significant is this. well i think stuffing security coordination would be significant if it happens it would change the realities on the ground in the occupied west bank having said that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has in the past already threatened to cut security relations security cordon nation with israel and we have to wait and see whether he will implement those steps soon in the coming days and what's also significant today is probably told the palestinians to support their cards through the arab league through this statement that they reject this plan by the terms of ministration because initially the state

as well and that send so we have heard the palestinian president mahmoud abbas before threatening to stop security coordination so we have to wait and see whether this will be implemented right now but i also think what is significant today is the big support the palestinians got from this statement by the arab league the meeting of the foreign ministers in cairo and that show says not such a broad support among arab states because the initial reactions from individual arab states to the plan whereby that new to it but now this strong we reject this and what is this suspension of relations now tanya what is it likely to mean on the ground. well we're talking here about 2 different kind of relations on the one hand the palestinian leadership in ramallah has already cut of diplomatic ties with the trump administration back in december 2017 after the true celeb decision know what they're talking about now is to cut off also some of the security ties they had kept for example with the u.s. intelligence intelligence agencies on the other hand talking about the security coordination with i

and on saturday it was rejected at a meeting of the arab league in cairo a palestinian president mahmoud abbas has gone further he's cutting all ties with israel and the u.s. including security relations plan has also sparked protests among palestinians who strongly rejected the plan proposes a palestinian state and recognition of israeli settlements in the occupied west bank. was going to some perspective now i'm joined by a correspondent in jerusalem tanya kramer tanya 1st of all how significant is this . was stopping the security coordination would be significant because it would change the situation on the ground in the occupied west bank having said that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has warned previous times that he would stop security coordination so we have to wait and see whether he will implement this this time i think what's also significant is that he got the support of the arab league in which acting the plan and the initial responses by many of the arab states very rather muted except for jordan and this time they say they're rejecting this so there seems that there's n

of palestine in north already president mahmoud abbas reaffirmed his rejection of the peace plan offered by the united states saying it would not be accepted by the palestinian people speaking at the u.n. security council president abbas said the deal would strengthen what he called israel's apartheid regime and reward it for you patron rather than holding it accountable for crimes committed against palestinians the deal backed by the u.s. and israel would grant israel several of its long held wishes. the occupied west bank transplant could lead to the defacto onix nation of parts of the territory which was captured by israel in 1967 an extension of territory was condemned after world war 2 by the united nations charter critics want trump's proposal could violate principles of international law if it's implemented so 1st obviously we should take this very seriously this is not a peace plan this was a plan for perpetuating the oppression and dispossession of palestinians not giving them statehood no rights but a permanent state of apartheid if you me important thing to know is defacto ann
