families of american victims of palestinian terror had their successful lawsuit against the palestinian authority overturned on a legal technicality. we are going to change that. we are working to close this loophole and ensure that americans victimized by palestinian terror have a way to legally fight back. that's going to happen. i say this in closing and listen closely. as the tide is turning in the effort to fight terror, the tide is also turning on the american campuses in our favor. for years, jewish students have faced anti-semitism and the movement to boycott israel. now with cfui on campus christian allies standing with them. but challenges remain. the anti-somatic campus groups are growing and new groups are joining them. anti-semitic professors who have protected them have become tyrants of education. they are trying new tactics and testing new attacks including harassment that is so vicious it spills over to the non-jewish students who dare to take a stand with israel. many of our own campus students have personally experienced that persecution by standing with the jewish state as res

palestinian authority, , ramala, from the de facto capital of the palestinian authority,, ramala, toand forth, and eventually a military jeep and forth, and eventually a military jeep brought her to a village, not something very usual to happen in such cases of releases. she was released in an emotional moment, her father hugged her, her mother, chanting slogans with her, she was released with the bat was chanting slogans remembering the late cousin who is the palestinian from the village and he was killed injune while they were in jail —— she was released. she has become something ofa released. she has become something of a symbol of resistance for palestinians but the israelis have accused the family of using the teenager in the propaganda war. we have asked the father about that, what do you say to the accusation the israelis are saying you are actually promoting an act of terror, and they said that he was promoting some sort of... he said he is not in a position of defence and even if he was, he says, we are entitled to tell our story to the world in so many forms, even if propag

sanctions the palestinian authority sanctions against gaza and this is something that we haven't seen before a group of young palestinian activists coming together to directly demand that the palestinian authority lift the sanctions against the gazan people which is actually exasperating the israeli siege making the suffering a lot worse and it's a very interesting campaign because it's uniting palestinians from all different geographic areas and also from different political affiliations so this is a very important show of solidarity and i think it's very exciting because and inspiring because it's actually moving toward something that's tangible and achievable what do you think the chances are of the palestinian authority the lifting the sanctions. with the movement is actually gaining in popularity and the protests are increasing in numbers and the campaign is spreading to all areas of palestine and i think that's very important and i think the fact that this is something tangible dumond's and also very tangible and they're not excessive i think that this campaign has a real chance

but there is also a shared responsibility that belongs to the palestinian authority which has imposed its own sanctions. on the gaza on the people in gaza by cutting salaries and energy supplies to gaza so that has i think exacerbated and maybe accelerated this the crises that we're now seeing these these frequent eruptions you mentioned egypt ok unemployment running at forty four forty five percent in that crucial sixteen to twenty nine age group could egypt i mean shares a border could egypt or should egypt gets involved in this is a prism talk to the egyptians they might be able to pull something out that. well egypt obviously does play a role they play a critical role in brokering the cease fire agreements. and they have an interest obviously in in maintaining a measure of stability on its border. with an already unstable gaza sinai border so. it has an interest in doing that on the other hand it does not want to inherit the two million palestinians in the gaza strip israel has been inclined i think to sort of more and more push gaza toward toward egypt egypt will occasionally in

clear whether fathers' also accepted the proposal which reportedly calls for the lifting of palestinian authority sanctions on gaza so i guess you know for ages the two have been trying to come together you know people always say well you know there's no real peace until the palestinian groups get together this is obviously in the occupied territory is this credible do you think could this lead to unity between fatah and hamas you know as you said if i had a penny for every time i heard that i was going to go to conservation and unity i would have been a millionaire by now. so is their fault or is it the fault of the various parties who are influential in palestine that fatah and hamas have no other conciliated than the united i think it's both it's the responsibility of the leaders within palestine but it's also the pressures by the likes of israel the united states and others who don't want to see the secular fight the group and estimates tell us unite it's not in the service of many except especially because the islamist hamas rejects the accords rejects the recognition of israel and so on so

claiming this money is deducted in response to the fact that palestinian authority has a. social security payment to the people who are in prison because of israeli illegal acts in that prison and them. because this money is part of the monies paid to the families of martin is that what can buy the israeli army what do you see the argument that it's the argument that this funding encourages violence is a co-sponsor of the bill that the dicta said we have to do is kill israelis get arrested or get killed to get access to these funds where would you say to arguments such as that. well there is that it is not a killing just flies if you take the kids of the ship or maybe it would burn the bye bye. and their families would support that sort of social security ceteris they want us to punish the families most who were killed by israeli settlers and by the israeli army. being killed by the israeli army most of them are died not even died killing anybody they were killed. by the israeli army money almost all of them were civilians including the two thousand two hundred insisted. t

there have been sanctions from mahmoud abbas, the president of the palestinian authority, against gazadating back to an assassination attempt against a palestinian leader in gaza. it seems hamas is using the demonstrations, the kites, the rocket and mortarfire, as a way to agitate and get out of that isolation. just to get back to the point you made a little earlier about gaza being a powder keg, that is basically to avoid full—blown conflict between hamas and israel once again, is that right? that is right. we have had nearly a 3.5—year lull since the last major conflict. i don't think either side in this case wants an open confrontation. both sides probably would like to avoid that if they can. it is awfully difficult to avoid when you have this back and forth exchange of violence. there is going to need to be some sort of new approach to gaza. you have the un co—ordinator nickolay mladenov working on that. i do believe the white house itself is working on a new approach to gaza. i think there is wide recognition as to how dangerous the situation is. that new approach, do we know wha

much called by the leadership of the fatah political faction the faction in charge of the palestinian authority here these were very much a yellow flag waving loyalist fatah members rather than a sort of a wider spread of people from the occupied west bank nonetheless what we've seen here is a very strong iteration of what the official p.a. line is against this i think they were stung by an op-ed and an interview given respectively by the u.s. envoy jason green and the son in law of donald trump jarrod cushiony when they were visiting the region last week in which they were pretty strong in their criticism of the current leadership of the palestinian authority the p.a. saw that very much as an attempt to sort of bypass its role appeal to the palestinian public about issues like the economic prospects that might be available under us less u.s. led peace initiative and so the fatah leadership has decided to call this public protest to really cement its opposition to that line we've also had the words of the p.a. president mahmoud abbas read out by his foreign is foreign minister maliki on a on a
