(gunfire) they were members of the tulkarem brigade, one of the new locally based groups that have emerged in the west bank over the last two years. (gunfire) (crowd clamoring) in the procession they carried the bodies of two fighters who'd been killed the night before. (crowd shouting) in a show of solidarity, they waved hamas's green banner, and the dead fighters were wrapped in hamas flags.

the palestinian authority is the main employer in the occupying the west bank. it hasn't been able to pay public and to use their full salaries for years. partially because of declining international aid. and partly because israel is withholding palestinian money. israel collects customs of goods imported to occupied palestine. it then transfers the money to the palestinian authority on average, that adds up to about $200000000.00 a month. and israel takes the percent of the money as a collection fee, but israel has repeatedly frozen the money or even cut the amount, especially during times of war. now its cabinet has approve the planned for frozen palestinian money to be held by norway. but israel was still have the right to decide when the money would be transferred to the palestinian authority. this is the 12th time that as well, uses its leverage over hello send in tax revenue to kind of punish the palestinian authority or we can up or signals that it is unhappy with its context. and it's basically a way for israel to a search just how much control that has

how much fun does still ahead and i'll just say the palestinian authority. they do say they will not accept their tax revenue from israel if they don't get money to pay their people in of the power that finds out well, we live here, we make the rule, not the people empower, investigate, expose this and question the youth and abuse. of power around that go on out just there. the ball kits aren't as busy as normal. the single largest employee in palestine is the public opinion for c o, p a. the palestinian authority remains the key economic drive of the palestinians, employing a 143000 people. the p a is currently paying an average between 60 and 75 percent of salaries due to each worker because israel is withholding the tax. this is the trade crossing between palestine and israel. these rarely saved will release the money, but with deductions and no money for the employees and goals that they was present . joy gordon is putting a tremendous amount of pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu to release the funds from the palestinian authority to us. so is

how bus do you think that there was a role for the palestinian authority in the palestinian struggle? there was so much talk. you know, the united states for example, wants the palestinian authority to play a crucial role in this, in the future of any possible 2 state solution. but do think that what mr. bod, goofy is saying, is it israel that has render the palestinian authority ineffective? or does the palestinian authority also have to carry some of the blame it? yes, i think it has to go to some of the blame. i went to the to, to, to answer the question, by elaborating on a significant point, mentioned by mr. better with the when he said that the is a, these want to get to meet the front of the other students. we called the scaling the nation of the palestinians and the elimination is done by controlling them administratively. this has been done since 1967, and it has been done through an indicted colonial rule. unfortunately, the but a student alternative is the entity which is both of you sitting in this indicted core and then you've taken a disorder a. so in order for the stude

now and now the problem of course is that the palestinian authority itself has lost a lot of credibility even within the west bank among palestinians. so whether it would even have the support of, of palestinians to take up leadership, whether it would really have any kind of legitimacy remains to be seen as well. so he's really looking on israel to help bolster the pe impulse to their integrity so that they would be able to play that role in a post conflict world. and what about any cross border trustee or rebecca is really easy and palestinian. the public's, i mean, do they, do they trust each other at this point to, to, to make any progressive move. uh i would have to say sadly the any trusts that that may have existed before has been severely diminished uh, in the wake of this conflict or in the midst of this conflict. there is a lot more mistrust even than once before. and it was hard to think how it could be the trust could really get much slow, but obviously given events and i'm part of a 7 and a big events that we've seen a miss. awesome. awesome. just the severity

the palestinian authority does not cover and gaza, but he does govern parts of the west bank. but it is seen as weak and effective by a lot of college, simians. they have not had elections in a very long time. and so the american visions, this is to try and rehabilitate and reform the palestinian authority so that it can be an effective, productive, a part of god's as a future. there's also increasing since october 7th, increasing reports of is really extreme. a settler violence in the west being that the united states has spoken out against. and so that is also likely to be a topic of discussion when the secretary of state visits tomorrow to be a special correspondent, abraham in jerusalem. thank you. here some other stories making news. germany's foreign minister says that a reformed palestinian authority must play a major role in bosses future. bare bach has also insisted that the international community has an obligation to organize security and gaza after the war. during the movie store president, my chrome has picked his close ally gabrielle. a tal as the countries of ne

the single largest employer in palestine is the palestinian authority. will p a. but it's in danger of going bankrupt and with the palestinian economy. the crisis is the worst the p a has suffered since it was established in 1993 of the deals, low codes. israel refuses to give the p a its own money to pay a ton, collect its own tax revenues, and relies on israel to do so. what economics professor explains why you fucking buddy's home, our bach, we'll go from the circle. pears agreement put a lot of restrictions on the palestinian economy, were stopped it using his own resources as it sees fit and is really is have it restricted policy and economic growth as a result of the policy and, you know, toward the, wasn't able to manage the economy successfully because of this and couldn't establish economic institutions to develop and independent economy. the policy and you know, authority remains the key economic dr. palestinians, implying a 143000 people. the p a is currently paying an average of between 60 and 75 percent of salaries due to each worker because israel is

mike who the boss were productive and they focused on political reform. us once a reformed palestinian authority, the govern garza after israel's war with him oss abbas says that garza is an integral parts of palestinian territory. he is called for an international peace conference to use rebecca rivers in jerusalem told us more. the us suddenly pains to say that today's discussion was productive. anthony blinking saying again as he touch down and bell rang, the next stop on his middle is to a game reiterating that must have boss of allison in president was very open to the discussion. very open to the suggestions that the secretary had full the palestinian authority. now as we've been can, is he namely to push what the usa is as a potential, a post of gauze, a post conflict, the scenario. and that includes yes, as you mentioned, steps towards palestinian statehood that 2 state solution. that means a palestinian states living side by side in his riley states. and they're also here to push what they see is a potential outcome of the palestinian authority would be a governing power would be a subs

the palestinian authority talks with the sleet in my mood that best under the palestinians gathering rom, alexis, fort, south africa's application to the international court of justice. excusing israel of committing genocide in guns and the un security council adopt a resolution demanding an immediate and who the attacks and the red sea. who does call it a political game. the israel is intensifying its bombardment of central and southern gaza and ambulance, and area sheltering displaced. families were among those hits. more than 40 people were killed in a strike on a residential building near the locks, a hospital or correspondent him to hold that he has more now from dallas better just off the one attack and a warning. some views may find the images in her report to study in the hospital, it has been targeted with at least 3 is right. the air strikes in the past hour. here is a residential building that has been targeted by the is there any war plains today? this is a building in front of the entrance of ox, off hospitals. as you see, this is one of the main gate for up to a hospice

it wants the palestinian authority to play a more active role in gauze as future. is that what the palestinians want? of the elizabeth? let me tell you and our viewers 1st, where we are. we're here in other manada square where there is a protest that's expected in the next hour. that's when the meeting between us secretary of state anthony blinking and pulse any president with our boss is expected to happen now. it is not anticipated that the pro test will be very large . in fact, it's expected. it could only be thousands of people that would be in line with what we saw. the last time that anthony blinking wasn't that i'm, i love meeting with my mood job boss expectations, quite frankly, are low at this point and i'm a among those that we are speaking with. yeah, secretary of state blinking reiterated yesterday in his talks with israeli officials that he would like there to be a pathway for a palestinian state. he also said that he would like to deliver a message that they would like to see us would like to see the palette sitting authority reform itself. and he als

now israel has decided to release a part of the funds that goes to the palestinian authority p. a spot of taxes as well collects on their behalf for the money meant for guns that will be held in norway instead of the p a. the, the abraham reports from the off divide west it's mike, look busy in the loves, main vegetable market. but this doesn't mean people have money to buy what the vendors tell us. some are window shopping. others trying to bargain for the lowest price possible just in the last year, the prices of vegetables jumped by 5 percent of the occupied westbank, mostly driven by to so even bakeries are feeding the heat the day and some people come and ask if they can buy now and pay later it's new and on the rise, i see the way people are spending. it's much less people are now buying haul for what they used to. so before the will, the palestinian authority is the main employer in the occupying the west bank. it hasn't been able to pay public and to use their full salaries for years. partially because of declining international aid. and partly because as well as withhol

but israel was still have the right to decide when the money would be transferred to the palestinian authority. this is the 12th time that as well uses its leverage over palestinian tax revenue to kind of punish the palestinian authority or we can of or signal that it is unhappy with its context. and it's basically a way for israel to a search just how much control that has over everything. it also has control over another important source of revenue. tens of thousands of palestinian workers who used to find jobs in israel have been prevented from entering there after the war. how much of any used to be a construction worker in israel? you know, works is a fruit vendor. he says he barely makes 20 percent of his previous salary. gave me a little while how the when i worked in his reality, i couldn't afford my bill. now i'm on my feet all day. i didn't even know if i'll make ends to make the palestinian authority had earlier, refused to accept any of the funds if the full amount owed to them wasn't paid many believe under the current financial crises, it has little options need that. but he just

across the middle east to make peace. secretary of state mc, blinking is meeting with the palestinian authority. president monkwood a box in the west bank. having already held talks with israel and arab neighbors laying out possible steps to gauze as post one future. also coming up at the door, sinking into prices. the president said that his country is at war with drug gang. after a wave of deadly violence, the storming of a tv station and the kid. nothing of police officers and travel in germany grinding to a halt as a 3 day rail strikes, triggers, cancellations, across the country. unions of warn, up more to come at the latest of the world of consumer electronics in las vegas, including a companion driven by artificial intelligence with a face that you can be any age or any color you like the . i'm sarah kelly, welcome to the program. we begin in the gaza strip, where the world health organization says that aid is reaching civilians to little too late. intensified fighting and northern and central gaza between is rarely troops and mosque. militants has also halted several deliveries of medic

revenue to a 3rd party country. israel has been refusing to release the money to the cash draft palestinian authority since the war on gaza began. it now says that it will reserve the right to decide when the money will be transferred. palestinian officials rely on the tax collected by israel on their behalf to pay salaries and to provide services. i'm sure 0 is hold up. the meat is in ramallah. how does this all requires a little bit of an explanation. so tell us a little more about this mechanism for transferring palestinians money from israel back to the palestinians, and also tell us what the palestinians upset about this to okay, so this is a mechanism that was put in place back in 1995. and since israel controls the borders of both the occupied west bank and gaza, it is in charge of collecting the taxes for the policy news and then transferring that to them on a monthly basis, roughly about 200 $1000000.00. the lion's share of that goes to pay the salaries of the of civil servants here and the occupied with bag about a $140000.00 of them. and then another $50000.00 that are in gaza. now what th

i think, you know, when the palestinian authority talks - the palestinian authority talks about its returnal consensus. we have said many times that we would not go with the back of an israeli tank, that still stands. we'll be talking all members of the palestinian political scene inclusive of health and as. i know israel is saying that it wants to destroy hamas but this idea would never be... as palestinians, we will be talking to everyone, as the palestinian authority will be talking to everyone inclusive of hamas. . . , , talking to everyone inclusive of hamas. . ~ ., , talking to everyone inclusive of hamas. . �* ., , �* 4' hamas. can i assume antony blinken cominu hamas. can i assume antony blinken coming back— hamas. can i assume antony blinken coming back to _ hamas. can i assume antony blinken coming back to the _ hamas. can i assume antony blinken coming back to the region _ hamas. can i assume antony blinken coming back to the region this - hamas. can i assume antony blinken| coming back to the region this week? you have asked them before to be more forceful with israel and try a

i do want to ask about the palestinian authority because you've just said there that perhaps one optionnce do you think arab states even have and palestinians themselves have in the palestinian authority? at this point, there's very little confidence in the palestinian authority either to run a security operation — remember, they controlled security in 2007 in gaza and hamas launched a three—day uprising and slaughtered the palestinian authority security forces, and everybody remembers that. there's also real doubts about the administrative capacity of the palestinian authority under president abbas to really run a very complicated reconstruction operation, which is what gaza will require, so i think these are the initial back and forth. there's no doubt that the region as a whole, as president biden constantly emphasises, the region as a whole is not going to take a turn towards peace if there is not a commitment by everyone, including israel, to a two—state solution — with the exception of iran, of course, which rejects a two—state solution because it rejects israel. but to isolate ir

their people in gaza. israel has been refusing to release the funds to be cash strapped to palestinian authority since the war began. it's now offered to send the money to norway saying it reserves the right to decide when the money will be transferred. palestinian officials rely on the tax collected by as well on their behalf to pay salaries and to provide services for more than this house is yours. how that bill i mean, joins us from ramallah. how's the policy that dorothy responding to this is real now saying under some pressure it has to be said. but israel now saying they found this mechanism to return palestinians money to them via another country as well. that like an is one could say was imposed by the united states. but at the end of the day, the positions of both sides is really then published and then has not changed since november. that's when the finance minister in israel, who 1st was refusing to actually transfer any of these tax revenues to the palestinian authority, then said that he would deduct from it the share that goes to gaza. that's the police to new authorities since nov

recognized president markham with the boss palestinian authority does not have capacity to deal with the scale of what's taking place. and that is that it's already deemed illegitimate by the palestinians because it hasn't been able to deliver on basic services, but also on a, on a peace agreement that would see an end, the occupation. it is unable to do without it because it has deprived it from what it is. it is, and also to the on the is there a new patient? it's going to, it's going to any area and goes to bed. and they can't even going through all the videos of the palestinian authority, which comes from the ballast. and in that space is a, is also controlling that a mazda has rules gone. so since the elections in 2006, 4 years, the group received millions of dollars in financial backing from cots are a connection that researched by the new york times reveals was not only tolerated, but actually supported by benjamin netanyahu. that's on yahoo had been advancing a policy of dividing the palestinian leadership strengthening, or at least tolerating some us allowing it to be suppor

that the palestinian authority? in gaza and hamas launched the three day uprising and slaughtered the palestinian authority security forces. everybody remembers that. there are doubts about the administrative capacity of the palestinian authority under president bahs to really run a very complicated reconstruction operation which is what gaza well require. i think these are the initial back and forth, there is no doubt the region as a whole as president biden constantly emphasises, the region as a whole is not going to take a turn towards peace if there is not a commitment by everyone, including israel, to a two state solution, with the exception of iran which rejects a two state solution because it rejects israel. to isolate iran which is critical for everyone in the region there needs to be at least a theoretical movement towards a palestinian state and that's what president biden is pushing. what president netanyahu is pushing back on as a right but meanwhile they are not capable of taking over from arson gaza so

so it could be also talked about that she wants to talk about performing the palestinian authority for it to be able to play a role in such a scenario as no. you have to understand the posting authority has only limits that a governing a control in some parts of the occupied by spring. that hasn't been in dallas, i since how much ceased power the in 2007. but in general, of the policy most already has lost a lot of popularity also among ordinary palestinians that have been no general election since 2006. now for the palestinians that in the day of course want to to hear from the americans what they are doing to end the war in gods. but also what are they doing to protect the civilians, the civilian population, not just in gaza, but also in the occupied a westbank where there has been an increase in such a violence and we've heard and totally blanking a talking about that. and his remarks on tuesday evening, he said you contend the binding spike stream is really settlers, but also displacement by communities in the occupied westbank and at demolitions. and another very important issue f

not palestinian authority.on't believe the promise of president biden that he can change the entity of the palestinian authority. reporter: what about those criticisms that the palestinian authority has incited palestinians towards violence and is corrupt and is unpopular against palestinians in the west bank already? >> i disagree with the description but i don't accept the status of history. the germans and japanese were the devil, were villains and egypt was out to destroy. we need hope and future and maintain power and security control for a long time and requierl demilitarization for a long time. reporter: there are some who criticize netanyahu based or personal decisions trying to extend his prime ministership as opposed -- >> he is leading our nation in a very complicated war. i don't believe that soldiers would sacrifice their lives for a personal interest of netanyahu. they are struggling for something much more subject lime than political unrest of somehow. so i don't believe in it. reporter: thank yo

we'll tells you why the palestinian authority is on the verge of bankruptcy. and we will also have the license from japan where at least 48 people have been killed to it was struck by magnitude and 7.6 as quick however says no down pulse continue across the good parts of indonesia and more big and heavy showers of tools west, the side of the region, one and excess of a 100 millimeters of freight coming across service, parts of the wealth and, and it stays very unsettled around them, and they peninsula into some, entre west and areas of 40 and not too bad into the filipino to drive by the states and spells of sunshine, but the usual hate of the day shall certainly a possibility of a similar picture that to into a vietnam with the most easily monsoon continued to push the showers in across the region. the showers still continue to across the eastern parts of australia, but starting to east. so if you see the still lots of storm shift to the east of abreast been that we've seen some very heavy rain recently for the heavy and foundry showers a possibility over the

it's realistic if you have a revitalized palestinian authority. it has more credibility. less one, autocratic one. the israelis have a lot to do with undermining the palestinian authorities through the settlement policies and land competition in the west bank. it's going to require in israel a government that is willing and able to facilitate these things. i think prime minister netanyahu will ultimately come around in the course of 2024 to accepting the reality that palestinians have to govern gaza and the only palestinians that frankly will be able even to have a chance at doing that is if you return the palestinian authority, revitalized, reformed to govern gaza as it did since 1994. >> what are the conversations that blinken has been having with middle east leaders in the region today? today he made a surprise visit, unannounced visit to bahrain. >> he's got to, at least three agenda items there, katy. number one is the red sea. and trying to enlist as much arab participation in terms of warning the houthis, the continued attacks on shipping there will ultimately resul

and so that she says it requires the palestinian authority to the full. she also says, of course that israel must respect, tell us she's the israel can not side to reduce illegal settlements. likewise, the palestinians also need to respect israel's assistants need to respect nathan. and so that she says the palestinians cannot be represented by an service organization like come off that extension wants to watch map. so she says she gets reformed. subject property embrace is democratic structures, principles. so one day they can go to the polls and do like the latest themselves. no c, as always, that may sound like a distant utopia or at the moment. but that is the only way to prevent the situation from deteriorating further and from spreading into other countries. like living on where she's now now these calls by germany for a 2 state solution or nothing new. we've heard them before. and so far they've been rejected by as rarely prime minister benjamin netanyahu. how was bare bach dealing with that? coal cheese training, a very fine line to say that listen

now a recent poll sounds at almost 2 thirds of palestinians are opposed to the palestinian authority, participating in meetings even to discuss gods as future after the war ends. beyond that, this paul, which was conducted in december with palestinians, found that 60 percent of palestinians said that how much should be in control in gauze after the war. and beyond that, this pull found that only 16 percent of palestinians said that a palestinian authority, unity government without palestinian uh, issue should, should be in control. and if it were to be that it should be without house, any president would i bust as heads that really goes to show the lack of trust in the palestinian authority by a majority of palestinians, the ch oranges that lie ahead. there's a lot riding on this meeting, of course blinking would like to see the palestinian authority step up and do more . would they be able to and then would the people support them if that were to happen as well. so there's a lot to be discussed, a lot of expectations, and we'll just have to wait and see what is the result of this mee

s. hopes the palestinian authority could govern. garza after israel's war with moss as part of steps towards the statehood, which he said would be needed to further normalization ties between israel and arab states. abbas said that gaza was an integral part of palestinian territory and called for an international peace conference. earlier i spoke with dw, correspond atanya kramer in jerusalem. i asked her what anthony blinking wanted to achieve their while your secretary of state entered the bank and has said he wanted to talk to the palestinian leadership in particular for the student president bus about a post scenario. post 4 scenarios, full gauze of what the role of the published do you know? so it could be also talked about that she wants to talk about performing the palestinian authority for it to be able to play a role in such a scenario as no. you have to understand the posting authority has only limits that a governing a control and some parts of the occupied by spring. they haven't been in a garza since uh how much ceased
