marwan: no, the region. the region is very underpriced.e inflows coming in, it makes this region in the spotlight whether we like it or not. access to not only saudi but other markets around the region that give you potentially very low multiples in terms of yields dividend stories. as soon as the foreign ownership limit opened, the stock just flew. these investors were standing in line for a very long time. manus: where is the strongest dividend you can pick up? marwan: the banking. until now, it is the banking. you are seeing a very interesting thing. the banking sector, after distribution, is actually closing the gap on distribution very quickly. yesterday, the spike you saw on the saudi bank, you saw that that coverage was very exciting. we haven't seen this in the past. we usually expect to close that gap but it takes around two to three months. not the next day. that shows you the strength of the banking sector. manus: where is the strength of dividend flows? will it be uae banks, saudi banks? marwan: for the time being, we consider

now let me let me bring it back to our political senior political analyst here in this studio marwan bashara and let's. analyze this situation with model one now the fact that the army is perhaps turning on the president is that going to be enough though to satisfy the protesters because surely what they want is a complete changing of the guard and not just a changing of the fast side which is how the president of algeria was always seen he was seen as a as a facet right or wrong but that's how people saw him for the real powers that govern the country absolutely look again just to add to some of what you just said about the very recent history. to remind our viewers around the world that this whole. civilian uproar if you will started only a month and what three or four days ago it started all in february twenty second when people descended to the street of all jury or and began what seems to be a nonviolent popular peaceful uprising within the country demanding that president will to flee not run for a fifth term when he obviously everyone around the world is not able to carry his

invoking one o seven means that the military wants to be in control for the foreseeable future or marwan bear with us here that's a good point let's take this conversation back to dahlia as she is joining us from constantine in algeria. is an analyst with the carnegie middle east center and done in iran and has but can you still hear me yes ok wonderful now building upon what. thing here and looking into the algerian constitution which i've got i've got the text of it here basically article one one zero two talks about if the president of the republic is unable to exercise his tasks due to a serious or chronic disease he says the constitutional council can meet and basically talks about the president of the council of the nation taking over the tasks of the head of state for a maximum of ninety days during which presidential elections are supposed to be organized is this the sort of scenario that we could be looking at unfolding here in algeria now. why you know it's very hard to predict right now that this could be yes of course one of the scenario better care the question is what next

the street aren't going to ever see it and it really doesn't address some of the root causes that marwan pointed to as far as the united states is concerned i think it's a very challenging situation given the presidency by seas and the fact that we still haven't properly called what happened in new zealand last week a terrorist attack. these new realities on the ground that are a consequence of the caliphate being dismantled presents all sorts of difficulties and not least the various disparate groups that have been involved in eliminating eisel turkish groups kurdish groups shia militia and so forth what happens no what happens to them they were united in that but they're not united in their the goals . no there in the problem of course is that those malicious they have been armed they're going to go back home in iraq officially part of the militias have gone into the military into the into the army but most boys have gone home and. they don't have work which is the next problem that iraq is facing and also you see that these shiite groups are now fighting between each other and you are

souls of course now i want you to listen to this sound bite from the arab league secretary general marwan gade who said the region must wear together to solve its problems take a listen. his show you know when yemen or libya our people are suffering in syria in yemen and libya and you know that i'm speaking now of civilizations of importance in the middle east i want to remind you that many of our people are suffering from crisis and civil wars and we know that the political situation is the only thing that can consecrate stability there are no winners in civil wars the winners and losers are both losers are on his calling for unity for countries to work together but unity is far from what we have right now within this league within this club with several camps where do things stand right now as far as we've talked about the palestinian issues but the other main issues that are affecting this region actually the hosting president sips a cold or dubbed the summit as the summit of sort of verity and it in my nation. probably the solidarity is more or less symbolic and the determination a th

do you think the united states and the international community should play in this where i think marwan is absolutely right the president hasn't been consistent and he has withdrawn all the funds that were originally allocated to syria the ideal situation would be a kind of marshall plan for the middle east a what you saw after world war two in that the united states helped rebuild europe but at the same time just to play devil's advocate we have to look at the billions of dollars that have been sent to afghanistan and have not had a positive impact and so nation building in the investment in nation building requires to have a local partners on the ground who aren't going to be entirely corrupt and using this money to benefit themselves and enrich themselves rather than helping the people because in the end you can pour money into a country but if it's not going to be allocated properly the rank and file people in the street aren't going to ever see it and it really doesn't address some of the root causes that marwan pointed to as far as the united states is concerned i think it's a ver

more and joining us now here in the studio is marwan bashar al jazeera senior political analyst good to have you with us so by all accounts of our correspondents that column is holding will this turn into a full blown war again for there are three possible options for prime minister netanyahu one is to let things be and to simply good joyce at the gifts that has been taken from president trump and try for two weeks to live on that and to show the israeli doing so because of the elections coming up exactly until the elections and after that he sees what his options are if there are any military the other one is that he does get involved more seriously and bombing various targets in gaza and perhaps moving into assassinations and so on and so forth but that will definitely lead to a major retaliation on the part of the palestinian resistance movement in gaza and that could risk is election john chances the third possible option is that he goes full scale land invasion and as many of his partners in the coalition would basically reoccupy. gaza and as they would say klyn it up from hamas

he joins us now so marwan now that i saw allegedly has no territory left. what happens for the group what's likely to happen next in terms of fighting i think we are facing similar situation like the one we feel with thousand two thousand and nine because in fact if you look over the past fifteen years we have two different generations of jihadists in in iraq and syria the fear generation actually made that action to the patient of iraq and that was led actually by. his group he was killed in a car that was very much weakened after that after the series which was led by the time leader of the u.s. coalition in in iraq but. at that time they not he says used the local fighters from the tribal iraqi groups in the anbar province in order to the week of carita so second generation actually in marriage to after the syrian revolution and it was very much like a reaction to the policies of the iranians of the and maliki government in iraq of bashar assad and in syria so it was very much within the context of the security and conflict in in the region so no. of cou

marwan how much of a unified position are you expecting first of all from arab leaders on the issue of the golan heights. i think rhetorical or speaking in terms of putting words in the communique there probably will be in agreement or in both the question of jerusalem and the question of syria the question for us is twofold one how will this be formulated is there going to be a regret expressing regret rejection condemnation or and that's the second part is will it be taking anything any action meaning there's one thing to say well we regret the decision of the united states to etc etc another thing to say we condemn it and we are putting a bust of the war we are taking it to the united nations or we are going to lobby the international community against the american this is not would be a horrible thing which some countries would want to do because they don't want to anger the champ administration salut lee not and not only that i think we've been hearing various chatter if you will such as yesterday from the iraqi minister of state affair of foreign state affairs about the need to g

your view as well do you think it's not we haven't seen it completed yet it's not over yet i think marwan is absolutely correct i think we have to disaggregate there are two isis phenomena there's a phenomenon of isis that is a territorial entity that is no more but then the issue of the ideology and the spread of its popularity especially on social media something we can't ignore you can't bomb an ideology out of existence the way you can the territorial strongholds that isis no longer in control do you follow me or the propaganda you've studied it you focus on it what sense do you have is the eiffel franchise despite this setback to them is the franchise still growing. the franchise is definitely still in existence there was a period of time after the loss of mosul that we saw a real decline in the a number of media offices that i saw when isis was issuing its propaganda on the daily collection that we do a georgia state university we saw a real downturn and then about a month and a half ago a bunch of new channels began to emerge and you had in the segment beforehand mr cooper was sayi

well marwan cabala is the director of policy analysis some the arab center for research and policy studies and he joins me now on the set and is this the end of i so have they been zefi since. and terms in terms of territories they might have been defeated but i'm afraid in terms of ideology the have nots. why because i believe unless we tackle the root causes which had led and the first days to the emergence of feisal are the policies of execution marginalization of the huge parts of syrian and iraqi society is most probably will be seeing i see you making a comeback sometime in the future this is a see environment which has actually worked with the al qaida which have been defeated by the united states and the iraqi tribes in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine but then we have seen actually al qaida coming in in your form. isom in two thousand and twelve two thousand and thirteen and this time as a reaction to the civilian policies of iran maliki government in iraq the government of syrian president bashar assad in syria so unless we tackle these issues i believe i said we'll m

on the air strikes between israel and gaza earlier we spoke to al-jazeera senior political analyst marwan bashara and he says israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is paying the price for his policies. there are no good options at this point in time for prime minister netanyahu i think you've ignored this for a long time he played lots of games with the egyptians and the palestinians over the last several months and he couldn't reach a long term ceasefire as it was expected with egyptian assistance and now he's actually paying the price two weeks before the elections and as much as gaza of course is paying the price so now he has three possible scenarios or three possible options one is to accept the egyptian cease fire to mediation and as we've seen already israel is violating them because i actually don't believe the prime minister of the now will put his political future and is or security in the hands of egypt that would mediate such a cease fire because that would also mean that hamas and jihad in gaza have a veto over israeli future incursions to gaza the second option is that

well al-jazeera senior political analyst marwan bashara says netanyahu has been channeling trump aligning himself with the religious right's and accusing the media of a conspiracy i think there's a general sense in israel that. but i missed something the most honest guy and that he and his wife are probably guilty somehow because the trial of public opinion is more important at this point in time before the elections than the actual legal processes that are going on in israel and i think much of israel our much of the right has already coalesce behind that and you know regard this with his character and that is very similar to what's happening in the united states because most of our viewers are probably have followed the president trump the investigation and so on so forth and netanyahu has been channeling trump nonstop over the last several months and even a couple of years you know allying himself with the radical extreme right the religious right saying that the media is the enemy accusing the left of conspiracy and that all the ills of his own making are actually those of a conspirac

al-jazeera senior political analyst marwan bashara joins us now from doha speaking about reports confirmedby palestinian sources of a possible cease fire in gaza that's been contradicted by the ongoing explosions is there much appetite for a broader conflict in the area. well i would say there are three possible scenarios for the israelis one that they would actually accept an egyptian mediation for a cease fire which means that puts israel's security in egyptian hands and while president sisi is quite friendly to israel israel historically never accepted to have its security put. in the hands of a foreign nation and that also in a way means that israel could no longer under any pretext intervening guys and perhaps even the west bank because then how. would retaliate the second scenario for nothing you know who's really besieged by this is collation is that he will go on bombing fight to have. him in various parts of gaza which will lead to retaliation from the policy of factions and that will put him in a real bind because neither would he be able to contain gaza nor stop the possibility
