by democratic countries against palestine related resolution and palestine's legitimate rights serve peace and those who believe in the two-state solution, or do they rather serve and encourage extremists, and deepen their hatred and racism, make them believe that they are above the law to the point where they commit the burning of the palestinian family, a whole palestinian family in the town of duma in the west bank. claiming the lives of a child and his father and mother. what is left of the family is a four year old child, an orphan who teters between life and death in hospital as a result of his burns. while he killers -- while the killers remain free and have not yet been arrested. where is justice? where is justice? where is democracy and the democratic state that claims democracy? this is not the first crime. before that, they burned alive then killed a palestinian child in jerusalem, and the child in gaza, and before them, thousands have been killed in gaza and the west bank. we still remember the massacre of 1948 and all other crimes. all of these are crimes that have remai

israel and palestine, living side by side in peace and security. thank you.applause] >> perhaps the hope given the president has said at the assembly. secretary general ban ki-moon saying that two-state solution is achievable. although that man, about an hour ago suggesting it's a long, long way off. >> in the name of the palestinian people i raise the flag of the state of palestine in the united nations today. >> in this march towards freedom and independence, i say to my people everywhere of their living, raise the flag of palestine very high because it is the symbol of our palestinian identity. it is a day, a proud day and honor of palestinian nationalism. we convey it to be martyrs to the prisoners, to the wounded, and to those who have given their lives while they were trying to raise this flag. >> and i say to all of them, to the sons of our palestinian people who are steadfast and patient everywhere, that is coming, no doubt, and the day for raising this flag for the state of palestine will be coming soon on top of jerusalem, the capital of our palesti

the question of palestine was one of the first just issues brought before the united nations from itsyet and regrettedly this issue has remained unsolved. as the organization and its members continue to be unable to end this injustice inflicted upon our people and to assist our people to exercise their right of self determination and freedom and their independence as a sovereign state. ladies and gentlemen, i ask you to reconsider the history of the question of palestine, and the relevance united nations resolutions. you will realize the obvious truth; that is that an historic injustice has been inflicted upon a people, and a homeland, a people that have lived peacefully in their land, and made genuining intellectual, cultural and humanitarian contributions to human kind. these people do not deserve to be swallowed by the sea, or spending its life going from one refugee camp to another. yet, regrettably it's just cause remains at a stand still after the passage of all of these years. our people have placed their hopes on the countries of this organization to help them to gain their fr

palestine. there was a civil war between the jews of palestine and the arab of palestine which caused the problem of their refugees. and right now we are not talking about the -- there is no right of return, because there was an act of aggression. not by us. we're talking about third and fourth generations that have nothing to do with being israelis. you know ali after world war ii and before even, there were tens of millions of refugees, hungarians and russians and germans and whatever in europe. nobody asked to return back to where they started and they were absorbed by their countries. i don't know why these refugees, and you mentioned 180,000, these refugees in syria. almost 70 years after israel was established. by the way according to international law it's their responsibility to do it. what do they do? they kept them in subhuman conditions in refugee camps for 70 years instead of allowing them to get citizenship to get education to get human rights and civil rights to get access to healt

but jerusalem, like the rest of israel and palestine, is bitterly divided between muslims and jews.t the beginning of the 21st century, arabs in the israeli-occupied territories on the west bank and the gaza strip began an uprising they called the "second intifada." it was marked by a seemingly endless cycle of arab attacks and suicide bombings followed by israeli reprisals. in order to understand the prospects for peace, we explore the historical geography of israel and palestine with special emphasis on the sacred space of jerusalem. for half a century, israelis and palestinians have battled over jerusalem and a larger homeland. helping to mediate competing claims was dennis b. ross, special envoy for the first president bush and then president clinton. as his term ended, the peace process crumbled. the intifada that began has had lots of casualties. unfortunately, one of the worst casualties-- in addition to the true human suffering-- has been a loss of complete faith and belief in peacemaking. what is so disheartening for someone like me, after having devoted so much time to thi

the first time at the united nations, the flag of the palestine, observer states there are two palestine and holy now allowed to fly their national flags. the ceremony was attended by president mahmood abbas and the u.s. secretary general. >> i certainly hope that a successful peace process will soon yield what they--what we unfurl the palestinian flag in its proper place. among the family of nations as a sovereign member state of the united nations. >> however, the political process to lead to that day is deadlocked. in his speech the general assembly general abbas put all the blame on the israelis. he said that he needed to raise the alarm about recent violence in jerusalem which was caused by incursions around the al aqsa among mosque, and he said now if israel would not sign the accord, he would not do so either. >> while israel continuously violates the agreements. we will not be bound by the agreements and israel must assume all of its responsibilities as an occupying power. >> so is this the bombshell that president abbas said he would drop or just an empty promise? there are more

of our analysts pointed out that often a lot of the things we hear at the usga, the conflict of palestine. we hadn't heard much about it, other than the conflict in the middle east, it had been an overriding theme, hassan rouhani brought it up, the emi are of qatar brought it up and president rouhani brought it up, that was the essence of the conflict, he pointed out who he blamed for the problems and the trickle down effect of what palestine has in the region. >> absolutely, this is an issue that doesn't go away and an issue that so many extremist groups wrap themselves in the cloak of palestine. it is an intractable and deeply emotional and it is most certainly used as a recruiting tool for youngsters to move them into the islamist state into i.s.i.l. if you will. needing to address this issue they are not just bumping their gums or remarking on it. there is a strong feel among all middle east analysts, the ones i have talked to over the years, this is an intractable quagmire right now but it has to be addressed, it has to be dealt with, you have to move forward to some sort of resoluti

when it finally proposed, this is this national session on palestine. when it finally proposed to end that to cause consternation. especially among palestine's now now sizable jewish population which felt betrayed. at this point, britain gave up on the mandate system. if they are in violation of the mandate british policies told geneva that they demand the mandate be rewritten. this was an admission of billiard. they had written article 22 of the covenant. they had written. they had written most of the mandate text. now they blamed the league when those proved unworkable. after 1945 britain would try to hang onto some part of its financially shattered empire. it's enthusiasm for international oversight was over. i have gone on too long let me wrap up. what i have tried to do is recover the history of a forgotten significant effort. we can see it worked in different ways in different periods. depending depending on who was in the room. it started out under lou guard working to generalize british imperial ideas. then in the german. it worked to limit impe

palestine joining the vatican as the only non-member be observer state allowed to fly its flag, along with full member states. that after his repeated insistence that the world body recognize palestine. >> it's uncancable in light of all of the sack identifications we have made and all of the years of suffering. it's not fair for the issues facing the palestinians to resist to remain unresolved for all of these decades. >> tonight, benjamin netanyahu is calling mahmoud abbas' speech deceitful. and he called on them to act responsibly. john kerry said that the peace between the two is not an impossible dream. and they will make after effort do get both sides talking again. >> all right, john terrett. thank you very much. and the accord, it applies to two agreements, the first in washington in 2003, and the second two areas later. they recognize each other's existence, something that was groundbreaking at the time. and the accords laid out a path that was supposed to lead to the creation of a palestinian state in five years, but more than two decades later that has not happened. under t

you will never hear me refer to it as the israel palestine conquests. i want to start by bringing you into the first day of war, the first day of combat. this is part military history which helps explain where both societies are going and how both are interacting with one another, particularly palestinians in the gaza strip. i call it the 51 day war because it gave begin on july 7, when hamas facilities were attacked by israeli airstrikes killing several members of the brigade that led to the first authorized launch, by hamas and the brigades of rockets into israel. if we can do something about that sound that would be wonderful, less is just in my head. [laughter] just days after the operation protective head which translate into steep cliff in hebrew was authorized, the israeli troops invaded the gaza strip. they invaded the area which was the most densely populated on earth. it is an extension of gaza strip in the that halts at the 35050-meter buffer zone that israel maintains between the gaza strip and the civilian population of gaza. it is a a no g

people have no problem with jews, but call it a designer occupation in palestine. for jews in iran, is the distinction important. the fact that they are not anti-semitic, they don't like israel. >> i think the distinction is one that was that was designed by the iranian jewish community, faring to the revolutionary leaders of the current government as early as 1978. as one that has been detrimental to the existence of the community. a delegation of iranian jews met with whom any. several delegations meant with him, and each time, because of the fears that the community had, because emphasise clear early on that this new order was anti-israel and anti-american. it was important for the iranian jewish community to convey the message that we were here before 1938. we were in iran. even before islam came to iran. please make the distinction, and i think the regime did make the distinction. that was important to jewish survival in iran for the past 36 years. is it a good or bad idea to have the distinction. >> i think it was one that was inevitable. one that they needed

invasion of iraq and also, what was happening to the area of palestine as well. so who is actually up next will be the president of france, francois hollande. and that is who is going to be introduced next followed by -- actually i got that a little bit out of order. the emir of qatar is actually going to be speaking next. my notes are a bit out of order. we'll be hearing from the sheik. >> emir of the state of qatar. invites him to address the assembly. >> translator: in the name of aallah, your excellencies and highnesses. your excellency, president of the united nations, general assembly, your excellency, secretary of the united nations. i'm pleased at the outset to extend my congratulations to his excellency on his election as president of the 70th session of the ga, wishing him every success. i wish also to express our appreciation to his excellency, president of the scientist session of the general assembly for his efforts in conducting its proceedings. i wish also, to avail myself on this occasion to commend the efforts deployed by his excellency the secre

what president abbas said, until israel meets the conditions of the oslo accord, then palestine is not bound by it. there is wiggle room there. and if we want to use history as a yardstick, if you will, to measure just what mr. abbas may do next, we only need to look at the fact that the palestinians showing the international criminal court on decembe december 31st last year signing the rome statute. it took mr. abbas two years when he first started talking about it in 2013 to when he signed it. when you look at how there were no repercussions to him as president, no threat to the palestinian authority, and no threat to his party, when you think about the oslo accords there are major repercussions to him as president, to the palestinian authority, and of course, by default his party as well. if he ends that relationship, ends those agreements, israel's role suddenly changes very dramatically, and his role does as well. mr. abbas, as we've seen over the years, is a very deliberate man, a very careful man. we can't expect him to or we're not expecting him, rather, to take a major dramati

palestine remains an observer state, but the palestinian president says this gesture is a sign of theure. >> translator: when we go to the general assembly, the flag will be raised, and god willing we will raise this flag above jerusalem too. >> reporter: the u.s. and israel say the measures are meaningless without a negotiated two-state solution. >> raising the palestinian flag is not an alternative to negotiations and will not bring the parties closer to peace. >> reporter: time and time again, peace talks have started and failed. most recently in early 2014 when the united nations tried to broker a deal. >> but in the end, my friends, as all of you know, you can facilitate, you can push, you can nudge, but the parties themselves have to make fundamental decisions and compromises. >> the u.n. secretary general is hoping to start peace negotiations again, but there are still a lot of sticking points. palestinian president abbas is likely to talk to the general assembly about israel's policy, illegal settlements, the on going violence around the al aqsa mosque in jerusalem. but the ma

members, we must recognize their responsibility for renewing talks tween palestine and israel on theis of a two-state situation. ensuring regional stability and security of the people living in the region. we look forward to frank candid discussion in today's meeting. it's important that we should listen to each other, hear each other, and seek mutual cooperation in order to end the terrorist threat and security in the middle east and northern africa. thank you so much for your attention. i now resume my functions as president of this council, and i'm now going to give the floor to other members of the council. i live the floor to his excellency [ inaudible ]. >> that was sergei lavrov who is chairing this meeting on the fight against isil. basically calling for more coordination against isil, coordination from groups on the ground and outside of syria, and stepping up the progress of dialogue when syria parties as was set out in the geneva communique which seems so long ago now, and there needed to be an inclusive and balanced outside support for syria, which includes countries like

[applause] >> however, the political process, in his speech general abbas put all the blame on the israelis. he said he needed to raise the alarm he said that israel had not been abiding by the oslo accord signs 22 years ago, and he wouldn't do so either. >> they leave us no choice to insist that we would be committed to the implementation of these agreements while israel continues to violate them. we therefore declare that we cannot continue to be bound by these agreements, and that israel must assume all of its responsibilities as an occupying power. >> so is this the bombshell that

amy: israel and palestine. >> he was deeply involved in the middle east, particularly after the u.s.feated in southeast asia. and he was instrumental in blocking in the impasse. there are historians that write about this. one talks about how kissinger kind of locks in the current stalemate. he commits the united states not to recognize palestine until palestinian authority recognized the legitimacy of israel, but he doesn't demand any such -- he doesn't demand any such conditions on the support the u.s. gives to israel. but beyond israel-palestine, his support for the shaw -- amy: in iran. >> prior to the revolution, using the duopoly of iran and saudi arabia prior to the revolution as guardians of the gulf, was disastrous. kissinger kind of using petrodollars, the increasing rise of oil prices and energy cost, funneling it back to the u.s. defense industry and selling weapons to the shaw. anything he wanted, the shock. anything they wanted, saudi arabia got. it is created the infrastructure of permanent crisis that we see in the middle east. only think about the rise of the michigan

palestine will raise its flag for first time in a ceremony next week. technically the vatican status hasn't changed. it was an observer. laying out the key issues and themes of the new global goals. it was clear by the time he left that the world was listening. james bays, al jazeera at the united nations. >> world leaders at the u.n. have developed the new sustai sustainable goals. f-amila miller reports. >> villages in mobani, have been without water for weeks. >> we struggle every morning. i just wipe my children clean. in the evening i wash them and reuse their water to wash myself. >> the struggle is not a concern. >> i wonder if my kids can understand the situation. >> residents reserve their place in line. hoping the municipality will deliver water today. >> this had was the capital city habaroni's main source of water but it failed. with no water being pumped from the dam for the last five months, imported from neighboring south africa. in an already water-scarce region, each day the city is short more than 30 million liters of water. residents

palestine is an observer state at the united nations. it's not a member state. until now, only the 193 members have had their flag flying outside. those 193 members were represented in the u.n. secretary general assembly. i was there moments ago. there was a vote in favour of letting observer states have the flag fly. palestine and the vatican are entitled to fly their flags. 119 in favour. eight including the u.s. and israel against. 45 abstentions. the ambassador, about to leave the united nations at the end of his term, is addressing the united nations. this is a blow for him. it's a symbolic move. i think it will be one that israel will not want to see happen, because of the timing of this, because this is going to go up in 20 days time. that puts us bang in the middle of the high level week of the u.n. general assembly that happens every year in new york, when world leaders come to new york. we'll have president obama here. we'll have vladimir putin here, representatives from all the countries of the world. we understand that 20 days will take you to the mo

on monday asking the world to come together to sort out the palestine/israeli situation. he's writing a piece in the huffington post this morning where he's calling for -- the most important thing is in recent weeks he's potentially going to drop a bombshell at this general assembly speech in afternoon. people that have seen the script are suggesting the bombshell may not be as big as that suggests, and that may be after pressure from the american side. he was talking about possibly tearing up the oslo peace accords of 1993 and 1995, because they were supposed to lead to a palestinian state by now. of course, that has not happened. in recent weeks he talked about the possibility of dissolving the palestinian authority, and that will put the onus on israel to look after the people that live in the west bank or even possibly doing something else fairly radical, which we might find out this afternoon when he addresses. now, here's what he had to the huffington post today. he says, israel is not dedicated to the international community's values of freedom and justice, let alo

the question of palestine is a just cause. resolving the conflict and empowering the palestinian people to exercise a right to determination and an independent state was within the borders of 4 june 1967, east jerusalem as capital. this will effectively eliminate one of the most important groups contributing to the instability and dangerous pretext used to justify extremism and terrorist. perhaps you agree with me that it is imperative to resolve the conflict without hesitation, so the nations of the region may focus on building their future together, in order to achieve prosperity and build a better future for the coming generations. the ongoing event in jerusalem, and the holy mosque of al-aqsa confirmed that achieving peace continues to face hurdles, challenges that require us all to tackle by providing decisive final solutions. ladies an gentlemen, we, in egypt realise the importance of other factors in addition to defeating terrorism and extremism to achieve stability and comprehensive development. the egyptian uprising a

the up shot was that it was signed by israel and palestine and it was supposed to lead to a palestinian state. we know now more than 20 years on that has not happened. what mahmood abbas is saying is over many years israel has failed to comply with the two oslo agreements, so now we're not going to comply with them either, meaning the palestinian people, and he's handing that responsibility to the west bank to the occupying force for services and policing. all that being said i don't know really--we don't know here exactly how this is all going to play out, and whether he's going to carry out this threat or not. but he's finger pointing to israel, accusing them of not complying with many components of the oslo agreements. he's effectively saying that the palestinians will not be bound by oslo if israel is not committed to those agreements either. in diplomatic terms that is a bombshell. i would note calling for there to be no violence associated with this decision by him. and the final point is you mentioned at the top of this that the palestinian flag has now been hoisted over the unit

i have to say one thing that i'm finding strike something that nobody is talking about israel-palestine nobody. i'm not sure that anybody has mentioned it. president obama did not mention it, which i find very striking. normally he mentions it i that the u.s. supports a two-state, and i feel that his administration has lost interest in this issue, and has given up any attempt in formulating any solution to it. >> do you anticipate any leaders will bring it up. >> well, i think israel will bring it up, and the palestinian mahmood abbas, and i think iran will speak about it. traditionally they have. and they've been very traditionally very hostile towards israel. but under this administration in iran, and you can expect arab leaders to talk about it, but they do it in for formulaic terms which does not help us move forward. >> the issue of a reporter being held in iran, the discussion has been held before. and there are conservatives who said that the iran deal should not have been made if something like this had not been dealt with. it still has not been dealt with. do you think it will

also begins this week and we are part of the advocacy unit of defense for children international palestinee says israel takes advantage of the legal loopholes in its laws. >> the situation in east jerusalem is as following unlike the west bank the israeli law applies to palestinians leaving in east jerusalem and theory of the law provides palestinians and israelis with legal safeguards but in practices we found that in 2015 israeli practices of israeli police is violating the rights of palestinian children. israeli law applies to palestinians but legally speaking the misinterpretation of the law and use of exceptions by the israeli police deprive the palestinian children of their rights. given the fact that last year 700 palestinian children were in east jerusalem alone and the law ensures all the rights that were protected by the crc, the u.n. convention on the rights of the child but at the same time it allowed some exceptions of the rule in which the israeli police can use these exceptions in special circumstances but based on our research in 2015 and the first half we found out that th

he called for the statehood of palestine with israel a partner to make that happen. he also talked about talked about syria calling for regime change, basically saying bashar al-assad must go, of course not earlier today, russian president vladimir putin calling for him to be sustained and held up. also saying there is no faith that preaches terrorism. he was consistent in denouncing terrorism, in fact, saying that what has been happening in syria is genocide and he wants that regime to be disarmed. and we know that who is coming up next is the president of france, francois hollande. he also, alfani calling for i.s.i.l. to be defeated, for extremism to be defeated and for war in syria to come to an end. so again that is the emir of qatar that you were just hearing, he had his first visit to white house earlier this year in february and patty, also an announcement coming out of qatar today that you think bodes well for the united states, an announcement that qatar is going to be investing several billion dollars in the economy of the united states. what is that for th
