for the world's most powerful diplomats brokering a deal is a question of glory for israel and palestine it is about the very survival how much are they willing to give up to end bloodshed in the holy land. is peace finally coming to the middle east. it's really great to have you on our program today a palestinian foreign minister welcome so mahmoud abbas has said recently that good progress has been made in negotiations with israel and there's a possibility of prolonging the talks so what have the palestinian negotiators minutes to get from these right side at this point. well first of all the person who is in charge how to sponsor will to declare if there isn't a progress in the negotiations is secure that it carry nobody else says. we cannot talk about throw to us or lack of progress. are we going to perspire to prolong and no one is talking about prolonging the. already allocated time for the negotiations which is really nine months we have rated it it. clearly that we are sticking to the. original dates which should end by the twenty ninth of. april this month this year and so i mea

on what is going to become the border between palestine and jordan. israel would continue to like this border. palestine is saying no, sovereignty, sovereignty. it will control its borders. sides with others, some international presence will be controlling this border for a timeframe of 20 to 30 years. we are getting closer to a comprehensive agreement. the issue of jerusalem, which is a sensitive issue for everybody, i think they're getting closer to some formula. jerusalem is the capital for two states with one municipality. run,feel it is going to be managed by a joint israel- palestine committee. and many matters will be managed by international committee, who have some stake in jerusalem, like saudi arabia. or morocco. let's see what happens in a few few days.- in a president abbas was in cairo a few days ago. he will be in morocco. for the first time since and 96, 1996,mmittees -- since the committee has made positive steps toward an agreement. >> you are speaking of positive steps. benjamin netanyahu is competing with hard-line nationalists in

so he set up a spy ring that considered of two dozen jewish settlers throughout palestine, funneling information to the british in egypt. then finally a german, oriental scholar, two years older than lawrence, he was 30 when the war started who came back to the region and became the chief counterac intelligence agent for germany during the war. but during this small consolation of characters there, lawrence is still at center stage and for, i think for very good reason. the british were by far the biggest players in the region during the war and the british also dictated the peace. so going to what happened at the end of world war i and the peace that was created this really, truly is, the root of so much that was to come later. the imperial carving up between the british and the french at the paris peace conference. the balfour declaration which came in 1917 which encouraged jewish immigration in palestine, 30 yearsth on, after 30 years of the british trying to walk away from the balfour declaration, eventually led to the creation of the state of israel. lawrence, as a military inte

his visit trigger outrage and the second palestine uprise. the violence that it sparked propelled him to election as prime minister. and proves once again that the brash bull-headed ariel sharon did what he wanted - seized land that he desired, and no one dared stop him. as much as anyone in the last 50 years ariel sharon helped to define the israeli state. many loved him for it. others despised him. first he was an audacious and successful soldier, his campaigns redrawing the state's borders. in 1967 he won one of the most sensational battles in the six day war. israel doubling in size. in 1973 as a battlefield general his leadership presented defeat in the war. in 1982 as defence minister he lead the invasion of lebanon. but after the victory he ordered his forces to stand bias the lebanese fighters that he was supporting slaughtered hundreds, if not thousands of palestine refugees. it should have been the end of his career. he had to resign, an israeli commission of inquiry found him indirectly responsible. ariel sharon survived and return

we can end this occupation and allow for the independence of palestine. all of those issues that they are raising with regard to the gaza strip, and to the other parts of the occupied areas, will enter a new stage of phasing them out and therefore the the authority that the israelis have will start to evaporate. >> how close is secretary kerry to achieving his objective in the timeframe he has that? it seems like an insurmountable task. >> he has made a slight change in the course. in 6-9 months we would receive a peace treaty. the borders, the security in jerusalem, water, and refugees. now the discussions that are presented by heads of state, he is talking about the framework. the framework is like parameters. if he wants to accomplish the objective of having an agreement within the next few months, before the expiration of the nine months, then it will become obvious that he needs additional time. we need additional time to negotiate a final treaty based on the framework of the boundaries. that is what he is trying to accomplish now, an agreement on a

of course the problems that they will face is that if all of us live in historic palestine and then the democrat nothing by the is approximately now about 50-50 in terms of palestinian, arabs, versus jews in the same area, then the -- this would be the defeating, i believe, the objectives of trying to build, you know, a state where the majority will be jewish. >> rose: do you have any problem with calling israel a jewish state? >> israel can call itself whatever it wants. president abbas, i was in meetings with him with many jewish leaders, including in this city of new york, more than once and they asked him this question, he said it is up to israel to call itself what they want. they can go and change their name and go to the u.n. and you have the interview with the iranian ambassador here. >> rose: yes. >> the iranians changed the name of the revolution to the islamic republic of iran, that is their by, it is not our business, but for us to demapped from us to accept this name, it means that they have additional agenda inside -- >> rose:. >> what do you think that agenda is? >> it me

also in hebron the israelis were seen training in a palestine cemetery. most are familiar with israeli soldiers on their land. the idea in which some raids, where people are detained for hours on end are training exercises, that shocked many. in defense of the practice the army issued the following statement. such exercises are crucial in ensuring it is prepared to protect its citizens. every effort it made to minimise the effect on civilian life. human rights group say mock groups break the law and endanger civilians. when danger by israeli settlers is increasing, they ask why is the army not carrying out mock raids. this former soldier says they are all about reminding the palestinians who is in charge. >> it's something that is unusual, if you think about it - people would enter your house and train in the streets. i am not sure if i would agree that someone would do it in my street or raid my house as part of a training, and i think this is part of why i think it's wrong. >> the exercises are causing greater anger and resentment and that is not good f

if you look at the palestine narrative since the beginning of - since the 1948 war and the palestine homelessness and refugees, accepting the legitimacy of the jewish state from the beginning means they have a problem explaining or dealing with the - what they perceived to be a profound injustice. it is a problem for the palestinians. in the end i think there's going to have to be some kind of addressing that through a mechanism that would satisfy both sides. one is possible and what the secretary of state is working on. >> thank you very much. >> at least 14 people are dead in a seaside tourist in india after a building collapse. it happened saturday. at least 10 people were pulled out alive. many were still trapped under the rebel. authorities are investigating how many workers were on site when the building collapsed. >> coming up, a major change in the florida everglades. a long-held tradition is being phased out. >> i'm mark morgan. colts moving on in the n.f.l. play-offs. that story on the way. >> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm morgan radford, these are the top stories

if german forces won they would capture egypt, they had plans to move into palestine. if it is worth reminding ourselves that at the beginning of november 1942 the axis still seemed to be winning the war. france, the colonial power in northwest africa, had a predominantly muslim population, eight divisions of troops and a substantial navy. no one knew whether they would fight or how hard they would fight against operation torch. they also enacted discriminatory laws against 330,000 jews in morocco, algeria and tunisia. if germany prevailed, worse would follow, as it already had, or had started to, in metropolitan france. the police in cooperation with adolf eichmann's men had recently begun deportations of jews in france to the east. in september, there was a diplomatic effort in paris to get the premier of france to exempt 4,000 french jewish children from the deportations. he refused. the diplomat told washington the only way to save these children was perhaps to give them a visas to the united states. the state department proposed 1,000 visas. the president raised t

. >> what would the world's response to ballistic missile attack on palestine and israel because since israel has not signed a proliferation of them were in agreement on that sort. >> it's a tricky question because, well, israel actually wouldn't attack palestine. by palestine, you mean the occupied territory of the west bank or gaza with a ballistic missile to ballistic missile our long range weapon. vagal hundreds or thousands of kilometers. if there is a conflict between israel and the people who live in palestine, it would probably be tanks and mortars and airdropped bombs. but let's take the ballistic part out of it, and you're asking what would happen. well, we've seen what happens. israel did and encourage an attack on the gaza strip while back in response to repeated rocket launches the coming out of the gaza strip on the israeli towns. the world doesn't like it. the world in general sees israel's occupying these parts of palestine and wants it to be through negotiations but the world tolerates it. there's not much the world can do about it except urged the two sides to make a

mr ariel sharon pursued what he called palestine terrorists. in 1970 he had a cruel, a ruthless campaign against terrorists. there were two places where they sort of confronted each other. one was in lebanon, in the lebanon war, when ariel sharon thought he had yasser arafat in his sights but was forced by president regan to allow yasser arafat to leave. and when yasser arafat was holed up, and ariel sharon toyed with the idea of liquidating or assassinating him but releapted. they didn't like each other. they viewed each other as the manifestation of the worst elements of both nations. >> let's talk about a contemporary political figure. describe for me the differences between shorn and netamo. >> they are two completely different people and shorn did not hold netamo in high regard and did not get along. they appreciated the skills in the economic arena. that's why he made him finance minister. the main element again is courage. i think that netamo was a careful, some would say timid politician than ariel sharon was. ariel sharon was willing t

i think his strategy was to get rid of 1.3% of the land, of palestine, of the historic palestine. by that, he was trying to get rid of one-third of the formula and thus, he was planting the plans top prevent the establishment through unified and contig with us efforts. >> it was during his tenure of prime mine sister that the construction of the separation barrier began. >> exactly. that was one part of the plan that netanyahu is full filling today, which is to try to transfer the idea of palestinian statehood into nothing but clusters. by the way,itsis never withdrew from gaza. they just redeployed. what he did was reshape it into a new form of occupation. i call it digital occupation. but israel maintains control over the passages and the sea and the air space and, in practice, gaza was separated from west bank in a very harsh way yet it was not freed from occupation. and what we see today is the continuation of the same plans that sharon established of building settlements to prevent the freedom of the palestinian people and the establishment of a truly free and independent pal

we go and take a coffee with the palestine and the israeli in the same hour. so it was like, whoah, why don't i take portraits of doing the same job. people will not recognise. it is the same. i pasted it on the city. in ramallah, for me, it was fascinating to see a big crowd gather around. and people, you know "what are you doing, what is it?", and who are the people. this is two taxi driver, and the guy comms "what do you mean two taxi driver", one is palestine and one is israeli. everyone looked at each other and the photo again. and there's a big silence. and that is -- >> that speaks volumes. >> and then - and then i turned to them and said, "who is your enemy?" it was, "i can't recognise my own brother." i say, "it's the other one, but don't worry, there's 10 other ones, make your chance on the next one", and then people laugh. humour is a big part. suddenly they help you. and they are like "are you doing this on the other side." here we let you do it. on the other side they are not going let you do it. you pick an enemy, it's not possible. it was amazin

. >> i want to talk about israel and palestine and john kerry in the open in tel aviv.e made ten trips since becoming secretary of state. there seems to be skepticism about even the sort of contours of a deal. can you lay out where we are and is there a possibility -- there is a nine-month window that runs out in april. what chances of reaching some kind of accord are before that date some. >> they are not terrific. this is a familiar story with the mideast. you talked earlier in this hour about missed deadlines. this is the april deadline that the administration set itself. the outlines have been familiar to us for decades. it's a question of israel giving up territory that it currently holds and the palestine is giving up claim to territories that israel held for a substantial amount of time. it's about the palestinians recognizing the state of israel. there is a certain exhaustion when it comes to israel and palestine and it's remarkable that john kerry decided for hes legacy that would be where he would stake it. i know it's that if you can thread that needle, the r

commando egypt, a mobile killing squad designed to be at this against the jewish in egypt and in palestine but the retreat of rommel's forces ended that possibility. back to northwest africa. the germans rushed 25,000 troops, battle-hardened troops into tunisia to prevent allied forces from reaching their object if. general eisenhower wrote on november 18, if we don't get to tunisia quickly, we surrender the initiative, give the access time to do as it pleases, encourage all of our enemies in the area. the battle is not, repeat, not one. on november 20, premier lavelle gave a speech in which he expressed his hope for a german victory in the war to prevent communist and jews from gaining control of france and extinguishing french civilization. back in washington, roosevelt had already asked congress to pass third war powers act, which contained an interesting provision authorizing the president to suspend laws and regulations, hampering the free movement of persons, property and information in and out of the u.s.. we do not know why that revision was in there. we do know why it was taken ou

they were pursuing fighters belonging to the palestine liberation organization, and what happened was a lebanese militia entered the camp and carried out the killings. most of the survivors you talk to, the rejoicing - no one is mourning his death. what they wanted to see was ariel sharon take to an international court, tried for what they see as the crimes committed against them. that never happened. there were numerous attempts. a lot of survivors said ariel sharon's death was not going to change. he was an israeli official, a safe policy that they believe the israeli government will not allow these people to go home. hundreds of thousands wanted them home, in compliance with a resolution. >> son sunday ariel sharon's coffin will be brought to the knesset. thousands of mourners are expected to view his body that will lie in state for hours. ariel sharon has a plot served in jerusalem. that is not where he wanted to be buried. instead his funeral will take place near the family farm in southern israel. he'll be buried monday next to his second wife lily. >> new details emerge into th

. >> there's no sign of a breakthrough in the latest round of israeli palestine peace talks. the israeli defense minister says the rose is a west of time, blaming the u.s. secretary of state. according to israel's largest newspaper, moshe yaalon said during a private conversation: >> as for the talks, moshe yaalon was just as dismissive: >> the obama administration was not pleased. >> we find the remarks of the defence minister to be offensive, and inappropriate. especially given all the united states has done to support israel's security needs, and will continue to do. >> late on tuesday moshe yaalon apologised to kerry in a statement saying he didn't mean to "cause offense", observers say moshe yaalon made the comments because me doesn't like the u.s.-drafted security plan relying on high-tech equipment, not israeli soldiers to protect the border between israel. >> prime minister binyamin netanyahu didn't come to the talks. sippy livni leading the team accused moshe yaalon of damaging the two country's relation sh. it raises questions on how united the israelis are in movin

if there is a conflict between israel and palestine it would probably be tanks, mortars and airdrops but to take the ballistic parts out, what would happen? you have seen it. israel did an attack on the causes strep a while back in response to repeated rocket launches coming out on israeli towns. the world does not like it. the world in general sees that israel occupies parts of, but they tolerate it. not much they can do than to make a cease-fire so what you see is what used to be long and tough brutal wars are now very short incursion said a three-year four days or a couple of weeks. the people of israel are tired. i know. they are tired of war. they thought they could get a deal david trade land for peace but can they get a deal if they have a responsible negotiator that can deliver a deal on their behalf. but as you raise the question secretary of state john kerry is in israel today trying to get israeli powless danehy -- palestine peace talks going again. this is a tough and unrewarding jobs. he went to do with it and the result is he becomes one of the west's goals in the middl

also in hebron the israeli soldiers were filmed training in a palestine cemetery. >> most palestinians are familiar with israeli soldiers on the land. the idea that some raids, often in which people were detained for hours on end in the homes are training exercises - well, that shocked many. >> in defense of the practice, the army issued the following statement to al jazeera: >> human rights groups say mock raids break the law and endanger civilians. when violence by israeli settlers is increasing, they ask why doesn't the army carry out mock raids in jewish settlements as well. this former israeli soldier says they are all about reminding the palestinians who is in charge. >> it's unusual that people would enter your house or train in the streets. i'm not sure i, as an israeli would agree that someone would do it in my street or raid my house as part of training. this is part of why i think it's wrong. >> this person says the exercises are causing greater anger and resentment and that is not good for anyone's security. >> u.s. officials say they don't expect break throughs from secret
