that is the entity that was set up after the oslo accords that now has some form of self—governance in be a mix of local politicians, some palestinian authority, but also, international partners, as mr blinken put it, the united nations. and, critically, on the issue of security, that it felt like this would largely be a sort of internationally led operation probably involving arab countries, although he did not name them. but what you have a sense of here is the way in which i think the administration is trying to placate both the israelis who don't want full palestinian control, but also arab countries who want to see some sort of progress towards palestinian self—governance for gaza. the administration, i think, trying to work a compromise, something that if they can get to, they would have been the guarantors for. but that all now gets handed over to the trump administration. now something completely different. if you are the parents of small children or spend a lot of time on tiktok, odds are you might be familiar with this. # and the bog down in the valley—oh! # 0h, row the ragla

rented a lear jet in geneva and then they flew to los angeles and informed warren christopher that the oslo agreement had been signed. there was a ceremony on the south lawn. some of you were there. i was sitting on the front row. my wife was on the third row. [laughter] behind the former secretaries of state. and sitting beside her was a foreign minister of norway who had negotiated the agreement. his name was never mentioned. and two years later, he had died at the age of 44. that was a high point. and then began the low points , with rabin's assassination and violence by the palestinian militants which resulted in netanyahu's election. and then a long dry spell, interrupted recently by president clinton, who brought the leaders to the plantation and you know the results. which is basically put back on track the peace process. it's not quite back where it was before rabin's assassination, but there's hope there. anyone dealing with the middle east has to be an optimist. i am. jehan is. sadat was, many others. i'm optimistic, not as a naive foolish person, but i'm optimistic because i know

end of that year, i was asked to make two major speeches, one was in taiwan, and the other was in oslo, norway. the subject i was assigned to talk about was "what is the greatest challenge the world faces or will face through the new millennium." i pointed out that it was the great disparity in wealth between the richest people and those who still work for a living with their families. since then, this disparity in wealth has gotten much greater, both within nations and also between nations. right now, eight people, eight people, six of them americans, have controlled more wealth than the other 3.5 billion people, half the world's population. i've recently changed my mind about the biggest challenge that the world faces. i think now it's a human rights problem and it is discrimination against women and girls in the world. let me give you a couple of examples. there are about 160 million girls and women who are not living today because in order to comply with laws or customs, and to have male sons, either killed their daughters by strangling them at birth, or they had their modern-day a

one was in taiwan and the other was an oslo, norway. and the subject i was assigned to to talk about was what is the greatest challenge that the world faces i will face the new millennium? and i pointed out that it was the great disparity in wealth between the richest people and those who still work for with their families. since in this despair in wealth has gotten much greater both within nations and also also between nations. right now for instance, eight people, eight people, six of them americans have control more. than the other three. and a half billion people. half of the world's total population. of recently. i've changed my mind about the biggest challenge that the world faces. i think now, is a human rights problem and they discriminate against women and girls in the world. let me give you a couple of examples. there are about 160 million girls and women who are not living today because their parents, in order to comply with laws or customs and to have just male sons either kill their daughters by strangling them. birth or th

the body created by the oslo accords, palestinian self-governance.d be more of an internationally that issue. i think that will cause issues for some palestinian leadership. he was also pretty critical of some american allies in the region including the israelis. about then he said they had essentially gone too far. they had overreached their strategic objectives in gaza. >> tom, thank you for the update. tom bateman. more analysis. david makovsky is director of the washington institute for the middle east peace process. it's good to have you joining us from israel today. what are you hearing on the contours of the agreement and how it will be finalized? >> thank you for having me. it is always good to be back with you and the bbc. look, i think there is a sense, talking to officials here today, and i will be having more talks tomorrow, that they were are very close. henry kissinger famously said negotiations in the middle east do not end in exhilaration. they end in exhaustion. brinksmanship is par for the course. it's clear -- and the news coverage

that is the entity that was set up after the oslo accords that now has some form of self—governance inupied west bank. but instead there would be a mix of local politicians, some palestinian authority, but also international partners as mr blinken put it, the united nations. critically on the issue of security, that it felt this would largely be an internationally—led operation probably involving arab countries although he did not name them. but what you have a sense of fear is the way in which the administration is trying to placate both the israelis who don't want full palestinian control, but also air countries who want to see some sort of progress towards palestinian self—governance for gaza. the administration trying to work a compromise, something that if they could get to, they would have been the guarantors for. that now all gets handed over to the trump administration. for more on this now lets speak to ambassadorjim jeffrey, chair of the middle east programme at the wilson center. he also served as us deputy national security advisor. you he also served as us deputy national

i was just in oslo, i was a member of the, the holland hidalgo delegation to the nobel peace prize. i nominated them for the nobel peace prize. i said of trump will eliminate nuclear weapons and create a more peaceful world. i'll nominate him for the nobel peace prize. you know, so i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. if he is going to do good things, but i see what he's doing already inside the united states. that is making a cooler, vindictive, painful, you know, all the country inside united states. is he going to be able to act globally in a different way so far? i'm not seeing it. it looks like many people around the world. our many leaders are trying, including yourself and trying to talk, come up with the sort of own way of dealing with the paradox. all of trump, i mean, you are in the good company here because president put in just a couple of hours ago. i described donald trump press print, magic and trustworthy, and he actually said that he agrees with strong, despite old, as someone black mailing rupturing. that's a heard from trump. over the last couple of d

then on the other side, you know, in judea and samaria, they were given, you area and area b under oslo, which is about 40% of judea and samaria. and they they run, you know, they you know, if you if you ever tried to if you ever drive around aimlessly and you never shomron you'll get to these red signs. they say if you're israeli, don't come in there. it's it's literally judenrat. you can write right that you can't get -- can't go in there. so they're running entirely by by the palestinian. and they're also hotbeds of terror. so like we're still talking about something that. it's not like we're not sure it's going to work. we know it doesn't work. so i have to book is to kill that idea and. then the second half of the book is to say, well, look, we're not going to create a vacuum. we're going we're going to try to a way for israel to kind of take over this land. and then, you know, the interesting thing, you know, i point out and a lot of christians really appreciate maybe more than the -- is that, you know? this is also god's will. so here we're at a point where god's will also happen

i want to ask, you've given your experience and pulling together the oslo accords, monitoring both sides in a seas. fairlight, this is incredibly important. i'm one would imagine extremely difficult, given the circumstances. what do you think is the process that will be put in place to make sure that both sides are appealing to their side of the agreement? i hold that they, that would be an agreement that day. the americans really have to lead a monique during get a group a which really, really is so the supervise, they've the mentation of the agreement. otherwise, i'm afraid they're going to be very difficult to keep it. because as i said, both sides are looking at the 2nd a chip to of the agreement, not the 1st one. the 1st one i believe would be implemented. read all the difficulties. the issue is the 2nd a bout because he'll both, both bout these have lots to lose initial try. and this is why it gives the bottom to money to the 1st to jump to the 2nd chip though. and to be sure that the about these, we not run away from the date formed in implementation, all such an agreement. we kno

now by you'll see, belin, who is a form, is rarely justice minister who initiated the oslo peace process in the early 19 ninety's. he joins us from televi. thank you very much for being with us. so 1st of all, how well domesticated? yeah, i will domesticate you that the deal could be ridge because clearly they were positive signs coming out of both the usaa and as well as well. what could we say? what has happened so many times before where we get close and then everything falls out of that. yes, we should be is hoping that the now they do a more realistic a it seems so because everybody's a is burying and the ministries, some of these very ministries both already have the request to prepare themselves a and i a for the people who come from guys, and they were not a be 100 percent. they shape for sure. they really need the daycare today. go the game day and taking the grosses and the so this is one of the signed the legacy signs that the system is preparing. give save a for the absorption of a, of the dozens of people who may a. com is the hostages. a, let's hope that this is the reality

but we've been here before, for example, with the oslo accords. and that was considered too important to fail because it was seen as providing an opportunity for a durable and last thing, the lease piece. well, we saw what happened there. and again, the main reason was the failure, or rather the refusal of the united states to mobilize its leverage to ensure is really compliance with those agreements. and here again, you're entirely right. the world would like to see this come to an end. but the only thing that can ensure that it comes to an end is washington's pressure. honda is real to ensure is really compliance with what has been agreed. and i don't think that such pressure and such compliance is in any way a foregone conclusion. okay, one robotic many thanks. indeed for joining us that what your thoughts from montreal will pick up this conversation with fulton bar, kathy's professor of public policy. it had been kelly for university here in doha. i just want to pick up on what mom was saying that because he was essentially saying that israel

my father mohammed l two's has been detained since 1985 meaning before the oslo agreement. he was nothing along those released in the previous swap deals. and today my father has been kind the as randy boss for 40 consecutive years. now. he's 69 years old. he hills from bethlehem city. all these years have gone by. well, my father is behind these really bites. i cannot describe my joy and delight. he was detained for a very long period of time, more than 4 decades. my feelings are mixed and confused. happiness bitten this, they are beyond description. therefore at this moment, i'm waiting to hear when my father will arrive in cairo, he is among the group to be released yet to be expelled outside the palestinian territories. i am desperately waiting to hear about my father arriving in egypt. i prayed to god almighty that he will be released and will taste freedom once again as well. the white house released the statement off to the exchange of his rarely captives on palestinian prisoners saying, today the will celebrates as president trump secured. the release of 4 more is r

we're sitting here in the nobel institute in oslo because you are a nobel peace prize winner.exual abuse during conflict. what did that award mean to you? before 2014, i was not aware of this award. i didn't know that there was something like this that even existed. you know, it was an important recognition but i didn't start telling my story for an award orfor being, you know, recognised by, you know, powerful committees like this one. i started to share my story with the world because of what happened to me and my community and my neighbours and family and my country. in your nobel peace prize acceptance speech, you said you hoped that it would mark "the beginning of a new era "when peace is the priority and the world can collectively "begin to define a new road map to protect women, "children, and minorities from persecution". how do you feel about those words now, six years on? ifeel the same. i say the same words over and over again. and i know a lot is going on in the world and i know

mediators of this is far the what i want to while drawing your experience in terms of having set up the oslo accords. um the main consideration level default would be to try to avoid a return to violence. i immediately feel like need to return to violence in the event that either side is perceived to have been breaking their side of the the agreement. is that a way of using that mechanism as a, a pressure evolve? if you liked to be able to, to take concerns and considerations to that as opposed to immediately launching back into violence. this is actually, this is leslie. i use the identity. i can go back to the also a process because in also doing much more, a kind of a, a alignment of, of the, of the whigs. i mean, on both sides, we wanted to have an agreement. we wanted to have these. and even if we do not say to a, a bi weekly a most of us believe that the 2 state solution was the only solution here only do something different, which reminds me much more the, a grapes will phrase, they'll say, a 96. namely, between easily and in directly with this is by the while a day it's a failed abou

all play as a 0, as you'll see, belen is a form that is ready. justice minister who initiated the oslo peace process in the early 19 ninety's. he says, and you had ministration in the united states may help keep both policies in line during the si, fi, one has to remember that there is a word and those do not did states. and there is the new president, trump a they, they will not be to happy to watch a situation in which a, one of the policies will both policies decided that as a moment a to we drew from the agreement. now it mondays, ready, side a. i think that if you go on to the end of the day, glen a, you find a situation in which the extreme right it may go, then you leave the government and they that then you all will not have the majority on the inside. on the homicide, they might be seen. is it the end of the process? if it is implemented as the redundant nobody would need their home us any more if they give up on all day and a day hostages. and then what i mean del, boomed. so you can imagine the situation well by both sides looks to be doing the main to the whole plan and tha

but we've been here before, for example, with the oslo accords. and that was considered too important to fail because it was seen as providing an opportunity for a durable and last thing that will these piece will be. so what happened there and again to me.

were handed the nobel peace prize for their efforts to achieve peace in the middle east to force the oslo accords. signed here, bringing real hope to the palestinian people of their own state over 30 years ago. well, we haven't been further from that at this point in time. so what's happening behind us is almost a message that this is the only way forward. and we don't, we were talking to the norwegian foreign minister and also the prime minister. we asked them, you know, this is where the government doesn't want to buy the student's date. they made it very clear. so this is very important, symbolic, but how is that actually going to be achieved? so there is the realization of just how difficult things can be, but the message here is that this is the only way forward to achieve p c underlying solutions to what isn't ever going cycle of conflict between israel and balancing is unless israel stops his occupation of the palestinian people in palestinian land, we will only see an ongoing cycle of violence. and so in, in what you're saying in terms of is ready, you know, as role same before th

yeah, and we've seen this happen again and again and again after the oslo accords essentially collapsed. we saw further waves of terrorism against israel. we've seen repeated exchanges of rockets, fire and airstrikes between hamas and israel all over and over again. and we've seen repeated efforts by the international community, you know, to muster all these resources and retraining of the palestinian security forces. and all those have gone in cycles intended to peter road and with a disaster of this magnitude. you can easily see how after a few years of throwing money at the gauze, a problem, the into the attentions of the international community are going to go elsewhere. even if the trump administration succeeds in building on it looks like an arrow coalition under un supervision to go in and help restore order in, gosh, i mean syncing you say that could not be missing building block to give trump what he wants, which was a deal with the saudis as well, wouldn't in there coalition that came in large the with that possibly be the platform for a saudi is really deal that could be the

i think he was frustrated that it didn't continue the — the process didn't continue after the oslo accordsamp david. he kept them there. he wouldn't let them leave! they were supposed to go home long before they actually did. he kept driving this issue, "we'll work out the issue. we'll work on that one afterwards, but let's sign this agreement." that peace has lasted. israel and egypt have been at peace ever since. and egypt have been at peace ever since-— ever since. jimmy carter was speaking _ ever since. jimmy carter was speaking - — ever since. jimmy carter was speaking - speaking - ever since. jimmy carter was speaking - speaking of- ever since. jimmy carter was l speaking - speaking of peace, speaking — speaking of peace, really a pacifist. he likes to point out on his watch, the us didn't drop a bomb orfire point out on his watch, the us didn't drop a bomb or fire a missile. does it tell you anything about the way he approached foreign affairs as a us president? this approached foreign affairs as a us president?— us president? this was 'ust a few years i us president? this was 'ust

one was in taiwan and the other was in oslo. they asked me to speak on my greatest concern about the next century. i said my greatest concern is the increasing division between rich people and poor people. not only between rich people and poor people in the country like china or the united states but also between rich countries and poor countries. i think that has become the most serious problem in the world now. a lot of people think that the world is more in conflict now, war's going on. we have a low level of people in conflict right now compared to most times. that division between rich and poor is becoming greater and i think that causes a lot of polarization and it causes people like in our country to take the radical stance that appeals to the people that are left out. one thing that needs to be done for our people is also to give them jobs and to give them a good education. but also to let the people feel like they are being treated fairly. by their own government. i think a lot of folks in the united states feel they ar

hamas tried to kill the idea of two states for decades, to help destroy the oslo accords with relentless suicide bombs and sought to strangle the arab peace treaty with attacks and far from awarding hamas, accepting a political horizon would be a rebuke to the anihilistic agenda of death and destruction. we sincerely hope the parties will make the tough decisions going forward. and yet the unimpeachable reality is up to this point, they've either failed to make these difficult decisions or acted in ways that put a deal to long term peace further from reach. israel's government is systematically underrailed the capacity and legitimacy to the only viable palestinian authority. consider funding. israel continues to hold back p.a. tax revenues it collects on behalf of the palestinians. funds that belong to the palestinians and the p.a. needs to pay people who provide essential services like health care and security on the west bank which is vital to israel own security. this past week it led to unlocking hundreds of millions in p.a. revenues, a first step but these funds shouldn't have been

and when the class of 99 and the first of 2000 i made my two speeches, one was in taiwan, l was in oslo and they asked me to speak on my greatest concern the next century, which when 2000 was coming along and i said greatest concern about the next is the increasing division between rich people and poor people and not only between rich people unfulfilled in a country like china or the united states, but also between rich countries and poor countries. and i think that has become the the most serious generic in the world now, a lot of people think that world is more in conflict now. war is going on. as a matter of fact, we are kind of below of total people in conflict right now compared most time. but but that division, rich and poor, is becoming greater. and i think that causes a lot of polarization and it causes people like in our country to take radical stands which appeal to the people that are left out. so of the things that needs to be done for our people is also obviously to give them jobs and to give a good education but also to let the people feel like they are being treated fairl

the famous 1993 oslo accords, which were the only time israel and the palestinians really agreed wasone through a back channel. the prime minister of israel, a great man, didn't realize those talks were going on. now in the case of the hostages, we court negotiate directly with iran. they didn't recognize us and we didn't recognize them after the coup that took over so how did we do it? we had to do it through indirect means through algeria and algeria played had in role of being a functioner of taking our offers to the iranians, their offers back. it was never done with the two participant neither same room. warren christopher deserves a lot of credits for that negotiation. he was deputy secretary of state but so does jimmy cart every. again, his attention to detail, which was at one level a weakness but in another a strength. he went into every detail of that agreement. how much would he unfreeze and how much would he keep frozen? during the beginning of the 444 days, he said if you putt my diplomats on trial, if you do -- hurt one hair on their head, i'm go engine to use military

barack obama went and collected the nobel peace prize as a peacemaker in oslo before he even took office. we assumed he would be a peacemaker so one president trump actually says this is his goal for a legacy, he will think about that every single day while he is doing energy security which looks at national security and sovereignty while having the conflicts and resolving them. this is important. i want to say it when i walked in the white house for the first time it really is daunting and special but every single day i worked there i knew something that we didn't know the last four years which is who is in charge? who is actually the president? a question everyone has been asking for four years. who is actually running the house -- the white house. who is the president? they were doubtful that joe biden was doing it and that kamala harris could do it. there has never been a doubt as to who the two who the president of the united states is when donald trump is behind the resolute desk. >> in the past few minutes there has been video coming from the borders, the port of entry in el paso

unfortunately, we have a very bad history between israel and the palestinians of the oslo peace process years when israel and the plo signed six agreements and then breached all of them. there needs to be a commitment to implementing what each side took upon themselves and because you mentioned hamas, and for viewers just joining us, let's quickly remind that statement that's just in to cnn with the israeli military spokesperson insisting that hamas, in their eyes, has not fulfilled its obligation. >> while you have hamas essentially reiterating its commitment, saying that that technical field reason is to blame for not being able to provide that first batch of names of hostages back, though, to to what we were talking about. there were so many details that that held up these negotiations that were months in the making. are you surprised to see something like a list of names would, by all accounts, put something that has so many lives on the line, on hold now? >> well, it's not only the list of names, it's really all the details that are involved in this agreement. but let's face it, it

. >> he was a special envoy in oslo, where he dealt with both sides, israel and the plo, and reaching a deal there advising the president. >> you can see he served as a peace negotiator in the clinton administration, as well as under the bush administration, as a diplomat at stake. >> he also, we should note, worked as a special assistant to the obama administration. >> he has been in and around many of the challenges that beset this region for such a long time. we're also joined by someone who also served in the clinton administration, david rothkopf, a diplomat who has authored several books, including running the world. welcome to both of you. >> ambassador ross, what is in the deal? >> how did it happen and why now? >> well, the deal is basically a deal that was presented initially by the israelis in may to president biden, who embraced it, presented it as a framework. it has three basic phases to what would be a hostage release. you have the first phase in which you would have about 33 israelis hostages released. there would be a number of palestinian prisoners who would also be
