not just the palestinians. we should fight arabs and jews to preserve that. >> my opinion is that both sides, people are tired, fatigued and brainwashed and they will not reeble in a way that they would march? the streets. people are saying i care about my four corners and my garden, and it's out of my control and i don't see this rebellion happening. >> clearly i'm the optimist of 2002 of us. in fact, i believe that rather than creating two separate states, one israeli and one palestinian, that we should have a one-state solution where everyone shares in the same land and has equal rights. i know i'm in the minority with this idea. still, the situation in the west bank and in israel is so complicated now that you have a scrambled situation, where the israelis are living amongst palestinians, and palestinians are living amongst israelis, and the question really is how to separate the two people. onone of the israeli intellectuals that dealt with this binational situation which we are in is the former deputy may

if that's the pledge of allegiance that palestinian teachers paid by the palestinian authority pose.s is what they are taught, this is what they are inculcated with. unless you change that, you don't get to the root of what is preventing peace. it's a persistent refusal to recognize the jewish state in any boundary, israel will disappear or knife it to death. we paid the terrorists to do so, that's got to change, not only for us but hold the palestinian leadership accountable. don't let them get away with doubletalk. let them say to their own people what they say to americans. >> sean: like you said in october 2015, i'd like him to say that to president trump because i guarantee you he will not say that to president trump. >> how about a different twist? how about if what he says to president trump he has to say to his own people? how about if he says yes, mr. president, i'm going to change that law and were not going to -- in fact our laws will forbid paying terrorists and i'm going to come back to ramallah to the palestinian areas and i'm going to change that legislation, and i'm g

and its policy to advance palestinian/israeli negotiations? >> well, as i'd said, the arab peace initiative came out with a resounding resolution to offer peace to the israelis, to make them feel that they're accepted into the neighborhood. and to be able to support the president as he brings both parties together, and again, i have to remind people that very early on, there was an early engagement by the president and his team to the israelis and the palestinians to be able president and his team to the israelis and the palestinians to be able to see what he can do to bring them together. it is the core skon conflict for a lot of us in the region. the president knows this. he has his intinchts in the right place had the the air robz rabs are prepared to did whatever they can to bring the israelis and palestinians together under the leadership the president. >> thank you. john yang. >> thank you mr. president. i'd like to follow up on julie's question, pressed you a little more on syria. how will you distinguish your policy and your as on syri

on which palestinians prisons are held. there are about 6,500 prisoners. and he also wants to bring the palestinian issue back into the world agenda. it's been pushed aside slightly by the iraqi war, syria and it's his leadership beat against the president. he is from the same party. he wants to stake his name. he is a very popular wleered the palestinians and he has instituted a very severe hunger strike. they are taking only salt and water and that's his instigation. molly: thank you. next pope francis is in cairo today and he is calling for peace between muslims and christians. his visit follows a string of deadly attacks against egypt's community carried by the islamic group. they threatened to wipe out with that community. earlier, we spoke to our correspondent for more on this historic visit. >> this is the first visit to egypt by a catholic pope in 17 years. and so that in itself is quite a big event and it comes at a moment of violence against christians in egypt. he talked about friendship and respect and also reco

there is palestinian a law that the palestinian authority's. >> sean: palestinian law requires them tof they kill israelis. >> correct. >> sean: pretty insane.s. recently, he also said after an israeli was killed that something to the effect of it's a good thing to see israeli bloodshed. >> there was a quote that he mentioned about blood in jerusalem because we had all of these nice things going on in jerusalem. he was praised with the blood that was spilled. this has to stop. >> sean: are you upset that the president is meeting with this guy? >> united states is a global power, we understand that, but there's two things i have to come out of thisut meeting. one, the palestinians have to stop giving money to the families of terrorists who engage in terrorism. >> sean: let me show it to our audience here. wewe have the mother of a kill palestinian terrorists celebrating "martyrdom hope" and throws out a knife that threatens her own attack on israel and we will show you a clip of a preschool girl holding a night saying she wants to "stab a." watch this.

we saw the last 17 years focused on palestinian quest tore palestinian state.ting become israeli bashing session according to the ambassador 1450e6789 asked the 15 members of the council to focus on state sponsored terrorism as a greater threat to peace and stability in the region. snaming out iran support for hezbollah blamed for brutal attacks and instability in lebanon, syria, iraq, and beyond. >> if we are speaking honestably conflict in the middle east, we need to start with the chief culprit. iran and its partner militia, hezbollah. iran and hezbollah conspired together to destabilize the middle east and their actions are expanding. >> let me state it clearly. there is one country which -- this dangerous throughout the middle east. where there is terror, where there is death, where there is complete disregard for human life, there is iran. >> israel and the u.k. were among the supporters of haley's directive, china, russia and iran, not surprisingly all criticized it. >> by blaming all others but the occupier, the u.s. 6 to raise the question rather than

hard-line palestinians still believe all of the west bank. and israel is occupied land that belongs to them. there has been relative calm in the west bank in recent months, the result of ongoing security co-operation between the palestinian authority and israel. husam zomlot is a senior adviser to palestinian leader mahmoud abbas. he says using violence against jewish settlers is counter- productive. >> we don't hate them. in fact, our histories with jews have been an integral part of our national fabric. what we dislike, however, is occupiers, colonizers, seizures, deniers of our very basic rights. >> reporter: the tense, sometimes violent, status quo that has gone on for decades, defined by the enormous security wall built by israel. it stretches for miles across the west bank. settlers here in beit el, like settlers across the west bank, have often had a very complicated relationship with the united states, often perceived as both protector and enemy at the same time. the obama administration in particular was not seen as a friend of the s

the israeli-palestinian conflict. in his interview with the egyptian president abdel fattah al-sisi, bret baier raised this subject. >> do you think the long aspired to goal of some kind of deal can happen? >> it's a good opportunity to resolve it, even given the conditions we are living at the current times. we are prepared, as arab countries, that there will be forces to maintain the safety and security of the israeli and palestinian citizens. i can imagine a european country or even the united states would hesitate with forces to achieve it. for us in egypt, we are doing a lot of effort with the second and third generation, holding a lot of conversations with the palestinians to spread the idea, to accept the other and live with the other in peace and security. there is a true opportunity for peace if the administration of president trump succeeds to solving, it will change the face of the entire region. >> bret: do you believe president trump can do that big of a thing? >> i fully trust the capabilities of preside

so they are not opposing palestinian rights under international law, not opposing palestinian refugeesreturn to actually live without apartheid or occupation. they're asking for a very mall -- small subset. they're heeding the dictates coming from israeli and u.s. administrations. i have very little hope. this is very weak leadership without any democratic mandate. we do not expect much coming out of it. we rely more on society, civil society, popular resistance, and international solidarity with it. amy: omar barghouti, take you for being with us palestinian , human rights defender and co-founder of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions national committee, , or bnc. israel placed a travel ban on omar barghouti as part of its crackdown on bds. after he won a temper suspension of the ban barghouti came to the , u.s. and received the gandhi peace award. that does it for our show. we're on a nationwide speaking tour. i will be speaking this morning at 11:00 at harvard science 3:30. at yale at go to democracynow.org for more. democracy now! is looking for feedback from people who apprecia

us to commission a report to see whether israel is actually imposing an apartheid regime on the palestinianway of background, israel has pursued segregation and racial discrimination policies. in that, this is not disputable, because even israel doesn't deny the policies that it has implemented in the west bank on the occupied palestinian people, and some of the policies in israel itself. i mean, in the west bank, you have a dual legal system, one that applies to jewish settlers, and one that applies to the palestinian inhabitants of the occupied territories. yes, 0k. but to use the word apartheid, that brings a whole heap of emotional issues, connected, of course, to the regime established in south africa by whites, based upon a racial premise. now, did it not strike you that, as you say, the 18 nations who wanted you to write this report, and who said we want you to focus on the apartheid analogy, these were doyens of human rights standards like saudi arabia, sudan, syria, iraq, bahrain. did it not strike you that there might be something misguided about this entire enterprise? well, the

the israelis say that so many of the conditions put upon the palestinians are connected to security,the barrier fence or wall whatever you choose to call it, it is security that leads them to have wrote specifically forjewish settlers to get them safely to their settlements. now, that is not about a racial theory, that is about the practicalities of security. mention south africa, is that exactly the same arguments that were used by the south africans. we are in a very difficult neighbourhood, except the south african call them revolutionaries, they attack us, they are barbaric and because of security we have to take such measures, israel is using the exact same arguments and no, security doesn't mean, it doesn't this is as a-- it doesn't mean, it doesn't this is as a —— it doesn't necessitate that you treat a jewish child and the palestinian child differently, it doesn't mean you have different judicial procedures or sentencing when they commit a crime, if two children commit a crime regardless of their religion they should be treated the same. when the secretary general saw your re

in its policy to advance palestinian-israeli negotiations? >> well, as i said, the arab peace initiative came out with a resounding resolution to offer peace to the israelis, to make them feel they're accepted into the neighborhood, and to be able to support the president as he brings both parties together. again, i have to remind people that very early on, there was an early engagement by the president and his team to the israelis and the palestinians to be able to see what he can do to bring them together. it is the core conflict for a lot of us in the region. the president knows this. he has his instincts in the right mace and working with his team, our job is to do the heavy lifting. the arabs are prepared to do whatever they can to bring israelis and palestinians together under the leadership of the president. >> thank you, john yang. >> thank you, mr. president. i would like to follow up on julia's question and press you more on syria. how will you distinguish your policy and your actions on syria from the inaction that you criticized o

it could bring up popularity seen as a the man theible successor for palestinian president. anchor: the u.s. vice president has kicked off a trip to asia in south korea. mike pence says the age of to t of strategic -- this following a failed missile test by pyongyang. >> ramping up the rhetoric just a day after korea failed toto launch a ballistic missisile. warningng onched a pyongyang's doorstepep. >> all optptions are onn the ta. >> mike pence made an unannounced visit to the demilitarized zone, the maximum dayrity area on the first of his asian tour. he then met with his allies in any use of weapons by north koreans will be met with response. >> the world witnessed the strength and resolve of our new president in actions taken in syria and afghanistan. north korea would do well not to the strengthlve or of the armed forces of the united states in this region. repeated the u.s. wants china to pressure the north into abandoning its nuclear program. beijing called on all parties to return from the negotiating table. >> our proposal is from all sides -- is for all sides term

more than 6500 palestinians are currently behind bars in israel. earlier, i spoke to our israel correspondent. out he has been put into solitary confinement today. the public minister confirming that a short while ago. he is seen as the leader of this movement. emma in demanding essence, b better conditions in the prison, they want more family visits, phones in the public visit areas, they want a renewed academic studies, more tv channels. in a larger sense, this is a protest about what they call the inhumane conditions in the israeli prisons, the accusation that some prisoners are tortured, treated badly, even putting in that new york times some 600atistics that palestinians have been killed since the 1960's in israeli prisons. what is interesting about this whole eruption of palestinian hunger strikers -- and it is the widest scale we have seen in decades with h 1200. protestingy against the israeli government but this is also his moment to come to the stage of palestinian politics, he is one of the rivals of the palestinian president mahmoud abb

trump will succeed in the israeli-palestinian conflict where so many others have failed before him to be a broker for peace? >> i like to think of myself as a very flexible person. i don't have to have one specific way, and if the world changes, i go the same way. i don't change -- well, i do change. and i am flexible. and i'm proud of that flexibility. and i will tell you, that attack on children yesterday, had a big impact on me. big impact. that was a horrible, horrible thing. and i've been watching it and seeing it, and it doesn't get any worse than that. and i have that flexibility. and it's very, very possible, and i will tell you, it's already happened, that my attitude towards syria and assad has changed very much. if you look back over the last few weeks, there were other attacks using gas. you're now talking about a whole different level. so, as you know, i would love to have never been in the middle east. i would love to have never seen that whole big situation start. but once it started, we got out the wrong way. and isis formed in the vacuum. and lots of bad things happen

statehood for palestinians.i've been to israel and i visited palestinian friends, and i've made friends on both sides. and i've seen the situation in palestine behind the wall. it's -- it's very sad. >> you're right. it's very sad. it makes a lot of israelis sad, but the only reason why we built it was violence and terrorism. we hope that we'll be able to reach a moment where there is security and we can advance peace and those barriers can come down. >> president trump has already met with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas is also invited to the white house. >> i'm very hopeful, and this is what i'm looking forward to. i'm looking forward to having leadership that will pursue peace, will pursue understanding, and people who will support them. >> we are going to build the wall! it will be a real wall! >> the honorable gemi josé gonzález lópez is consul general of the mexican consulate in san francisco. >> we should be working to have the most creative, impor

i am working very hard on trying to finally create these between the palestinians and israel. i think we will be successful. i hope to be successful. been a really .ireless advocate for solution he is going to help me with that and help me at the highest level. we will be consulting with him very closely in the days ahead. abdullah, i want to take this opportunity to thank you for your partnership. working together, the united states and jordan can help bring peace and stable to the middle factand, in fact, the in -- the entire world. and we will do that. thank you very much for being with us. [applause] mr. president, thank you for such a kind and warm welcome to the white house. i fondly remember the meetings we've had many years ago, and more recently several months ago. you have always been a generous host and have always looked after us. we are very delighted with the way the discussions have gone so far. this is such a wonderful setting on a beautiful day. i think this is a tremendous mark on how we will move into the future. we have had a very good round of i'm looking

aid to the palestinian authority if it does not stop the payments. lindsey graham is the bill's main sponsor. >> can you imagine growing up in a country where your government will pay you for killing someone. eric: about 7% of its total budget goes to the family. the israeli director says the payments must stop. >> nobody would be happy to goat money is being used to pay for families of terrorism. you actually encourage terrorism when you give money to the families. eric: his caller was shot to death by israeli police after the attack. his body was given a hero's welcome when it returned to the west bank. the flynn ambassador says while they are against israelis being killed, the families of martyrs deserve the money. >> there are a large number of palestinians who are receiving compensation. they are victims of israeli terrorism. eric: taylor's parent hope the bill will discourage acts of terrorism. >> it's important that the force act passes so other sons and daughters aren't lost in this way. no matter what. >> the terrorists -- we never thought t

in fact, it only makes a lasting agreement between israelis and palestinians more unlikely. this is about one thing and one thing only. israel's right the exist as a jewish democratic state. that's what this is all about. [ applause ] let me just say a few words about peace -- i still believe peace is possible. i do. but it requires leadership. how can we ask israel to make peace with the palestinian authority that forms a unity government with hamas? [ applause ] how can we ask israel to make peace with a government that incites anti-semitism and violence and names public squares after terrorists? [ applause ] how can we ask israel to offer painful concessions in the name of peace when the other side still refuses to acknowledge her right to exist. [ applause ] this to me is the crux of the issue. we've heard the case that this is all about settlements. that if israel would just stop building, we would have peace tomorrow. let's just look at the facts for a second. when israel offered the palestinians 95% of the west bank and 100% of gaza and camp david in 2000 and greater

with your conversations withnclg colleagues, including the palestinian ambassador? >> okay, so -- did you write that down on where he started? i should have something to write -- let's start with president xi. t this visit this weekend will be very, very important. and i think will be important at a number of levels. first and foremost in dealing with north korea. i think the united states isrea. seen china for 25 plus years say that they're concerned about north korea but we haven't seen them at like they're concerned about north korea.ct and i think this administration wants to see them act anything it will pressure them to do that, and hopefully china will respond favorably. that's what we all want. that's the goal of this we can use to make sure that china shows that they're willing tod, act on north korea as we know at the end of the day, the only one that north korea is really going to respond to is china. so that will be obvious a big part and there's obviously a lot of economic things that we need to talk about but i do thinknk that the way that we can look

despite his imprisonment, he has been named as the possible future palestinian leader. israel claims the hunger strike, which comes at a time of relative calm, is politically motivated. the strike could lead to a rising tensions ahead of the 50th anniversary of the israeli occupation of the west bank, east jerusalem, and the gaza strip in june. sarah: you are watching "dw news ," live from berlin. still to come, concerns about the outcome of the constitutional referendum could scare off investment image the jeopardizing the country's shaky economic recovery. javier will have the verdict from the money men in just a few minutes. we hope you stay with us. sarah: welcome back. you are watching "dw news." turkey has rejected the claims of international monitors saying it's constitutional referendum was flawed with irregularities. president erdogan won a narrow victory in the vote to grant him sweeping new powers in office. so what does yesterday's referendum mean for turkey's economy? let's bring in javier from our business desk. javier: it means a lot because we know that

leadership to pursuing and ultimately concluding a conflict ending settlement between the palestinians and israel. >> reporter: every president in the last what century has tried and failed to broker a peace deal between the palestinians. >>> today president trump signing a bill that keeps a va program in place that allows veterans to go see a private doctor if they live too far from a va wait to see a va doctor is too long. >>> big news today on capitol hill, congressman jason chaffetz will not be running for reelection in 2018. the utah republican had been rumored as a possible candidate for senator or governor but in a statement on his facebook page the congress said after consult -- congressman said after consulting with his family he decided to not be a candidate for any office in 2018 adding that after more than 1500 nights away from home, it is time to step aside. he was first elected utah's third congressional district back in 2008. chaffetz has been the chairman of the house committee on oversight in government reform since 2015. that's the same committee that has been critici

partly because of the issue facing palestinian prisoners. know what an emotive issue prisoners are. partly also, it is a leadership challenge, by him from inside the prison area do he will challenge for the leadership once mahmoud of odd resigns. i think he also wants to put this palestinian issue in the international arena, partly because it was pushed aside by other bigger stories in the middle east in syria and iraq. >> several weeks of antigovernment protests in venezuela have resulted in the deaths of 29 people and hundreds of people being injured. those taking part fear he the socialist government of -- he blames much of the country's unrest on the united states and on the regional body call the organization of american states, which he accuses of meddling in venezuela internal affairs. the venezuelan president says his country is withdrawing from that body. acronym.wn by its tillerson is calling for an torecedented global campaign putting its nuclear program on hold. to putting its nuclear program on hold. with business as usual north

we will hear from both pro-palestinian students.o tells us it's been three years of hell trying to clear her name, after her son—in—law‘s new girlfriend made up lies about her. i thought in this country would all innocent until proved guilty but in that instance i was clearly guilty until proved innocent innocent! let's get the news now at ten o'clock. thank you, good morning. the foreign secretary has said that the government would be open to join strikes against syria without parliamentary approval. speaking this morning borisjohnson said it would be "very difficult for britain to say "no" if the us asks us to join in future military action in syria. he was speaking to radio 4's today programme. if the americans were forced once again by the actions of the assad regime and don't forget it was assad who unleashed murder upon his own citizens, weapons that were banned almost 100 years ago, if the americans choose to act again and ask us to help i think it would be very difficult to save no. figures just released show the number of c

a palestinian neighbourhood of jerusalem. for the jewish must be a busy time for the city with passover for thejewish people and of course easter for the christians. that's right. it's a time of heightened security, not unusualfor time of heightened security, not unusual for these holidays but as you say we have thejewish passover week, a time when many visitors come tojerusalem, coinciding week, a time when many visitors come to jerusalem, coinciding with week, a time when many visitors come tojerusalem, coinciding with the easter weekend. so many christian pilgrims and others were heading to the old city, so it's a very busy time injerusalem. the old city, so it's a very busy time in jerusalem. the the old city, so it's a very busy time injerusalem. the authorities had said that they were ramping up security because of that at the time. in the last few moments we have had a statement from biggest lady president, who said he was just like the israeli president, who said that he was filled with sadness at the terrible news of

with your conversation with colleagues including the palestinian ambassador? amb. haley: did you write that down on where he started? [laughter] amb. haley: this weekend will be very important. i think it will be important at a number of levels. first and foremost, dealing with north korea. the united states has seen china say they are concerned about north korea but we have not seen them act like they were. with this administration wants to see them act and we hope china will respond favorably. that is the goal of this weekend, to see that china will act on north korea. we know at the end of the day, we know the one north korea will china. to will be obviously, they are partnered economically and we need to talk about those things but i do think the way the weekend will go will depend on how that conversation with north korea a is because that is very front and center. i think the president has made it clear he needs to see actions from china. we hope it is a good conversation and we see real partnership and working together so we all are looking at it favorably.

number of palestinians who are receiving compensation.ctims of israeli terrorism. >> reporter: taylor's parents hope the bill would discourage acts of terrorism. >> it's so important that the taylor force act passes so that other sons and daughters, brothers and sisters aren't lost in this way. >> reporter: senator graham says president trump will sign the taylor force act, but passage remains uncertain because not one democrat supports it. in new york, eric shawn, fox news. rick: political unrest mounting in venezuela as calls for president nicolas maduro grows wider. it's the third pay raise this year and comes as the economic crisis continues to worsen. this prompting month long protests which led to 20 deaths. those concerns fuels by weak currency and surging inflation. >>> all fun and games until someone gets hacked. you have seen the list of the top ten concerts? why the lists may put your friends at risk? next. ugh! heartburn! no one burns on my watch! try alka seltzer heartburn relief chews. they work fast and don't taste chalky.

something has to be done about a palestinian state.te as vociferious as some other critics in the middle east. where does israel stand in that regard? how crucial it is that this president deal effectively with abdullah? >> well i think it is very nice that he is in favor of israel's right to exist. but, i think it is important to point out that about 70% of israelis are against israel withdrawing from eastern jerusalem, dividing jerusalem again. jerusalem is the eternal, undivided capital of israel and i have to point out that king abdullah's arab initiative he spoke about speaks specifically and requires the establish itment of a palestinian state in the biblical heartland of israel, including its capital in eastern jerusalem. while -- neil: that is nonstarter. >> that is a nonstarter. most israelis will not accept that. and i think president trump needs to understand if he enters that slippery slope, it is a mistake. we've been banging our land for peace against the wall for 40 years. it hasn't gotten us anywhere. neil: blake burman

impose terms on negotiations with the palestinians ever. the united states should veto resolution 2334 in december and it should never, ever use the u.n. as a forum to put pressure on israel for any kind of agreement. resolve willing the conflict is no simple task, my friends, but peace will never come from the u.n. peace must come from direct negotiations. now, despite all these threats, anti-semitism at home and abroad, anti-semitic campaigns leveled at israel at the u.n. and in the form of global bds, israel remains strong. but we must do everything in our power to make sure the united states of america will forever be a beacon of hope for its friend and ally israel. there is some who would have the united states retreat from the world stage. they even borrow from charles linldberg's isolationist campaignsst '30s. i believe this attitude is very dangerous. the united states should not shirk our responsibilities to our friends around the world including and especially the state of israel. a strong america in the world is good for israel.

they are destroying any hope for palestinian rights.here is a systematic israeli program, very systematic. it has been going on since 1967. it is to try t to quietly take over every part of the west bank that is of any value to them, while excluding the areas of palestinian population concentration. so they are not going to take over nablus or tulkarm, but take over everything that is of sisignificance and value, leave dozens, maybe even hundreds, of isolated enclaves and palestinian population concentrations, which can kind of rot on the vine. maybe the people will leave. whatever happens, we don't care. that has been going on consistently. now, if you go back to about 1980, the u.s. joined the world not only in calling them illegal, but in demanding that they be dismantled. go back to thehe u.n. security council resolutions, i think 465, approximately. so, you have to dismantle the illegal settlements. that has been weakened over the years. so, under reagan, they stop -- amy: now you have david friedman, the u.s. ambassador to israel,

what it means is, until the palestinian authority comes to the table, until the u.n.s the way they're supposed to, there are no fr freebees for the palestinian authority anymore. [ applause ] so then they tested us again, and a ridiculous report came out, i don't know who the guy is or what he's about, but he's got serious problems. [ laughter ] goes and compares israel to an apartheid state. so the first thing we do is call the secretary-general and say, this is absolutely ridiculous. you have to pull it. the secretary-general immediately pulled the report and then the director has now resigned. [ cheers and applause ] so for anyone that says you can't get anything done at the u.n., they need to know there's a new sheriff in town. [ applause ] >> last question -- i think this crowd would be thrilled to hear you for hours. but we're going to, days, weeks, months -- you -- when you were governor of south carolina -- signed into law the first ant-- this is an issue that's close to your heart. now with your new position, what do you think could be done to continue and es
