and with jerusalem as its capital and unified under the legitimate government of the palestinian national authority. the river to the stock.

this is where we will be, this is where we are ramala, this is the capital of the palestinian national authority i’m exaggerating this, of course, but not very much, but in the west bank of the jordan river, there are 500,000 israeli settlers, and this is in contrast to the settlers who were once in the sinai in the gaza strip, it was like that there, and this according to all israeli documents, these are jews, samaritans, this is especially important in historical terms, which means it is a territory. as you know, israel builds its territory on the basis of the tanakh, yes, the old zaveta, well, that is, where should we put them, should we evict them somewhere? east jerusalem is the capital of what should be palestine, there are 200-odd israelis there. the holy book, yes, or they say that no, we are like that, we are a secular state, well, yes, there are many such nuances here, i am not an expert on internal israeli politics, but it’s hard to say, which means that east jerusalem is defined as the capital of palestine, that israel will leave east jerusalem, let me remind you that it is in east j

the head of the palestinian national authority, mahmoud abbas, and representatives of the hamas movemente decision of the three european countries and called on other states to follow their example. recognition of palestine is required not only by international law, but also by international law. that is, these are the words from the commentary of the turkish foreign ministry. i would like to note that the independence of palestine was previously recognized by 146 of the 193 un member states, including our country. moscow went for this step back in eighty-eight. russia, being the legal successor of the ussr, maintains a transparent and consistent position on this issue and advocates a settlement between palestine and israel based on the two- state principle. the press secretary announced this today. president dmitry peskov. to other topics. the water level in the irtysh river near the tyumen city of tobolsk rose again within a day and now exceeds 7 m. due to the river flood, dozens of houses fell into the flood zone. there are about 300 of them in the region, but there are more flooded h

and in fact, a significant portion of the budget of the palestinian national authority is being spente on the employees of the national authority in the gaza strip and it never stopped, and it continued to take place, including during the seven months of aggression against our people. so, that is in terms of the responsibility. in terms of the details, it is very difficult to put anything in place as long as there is israeli occupation forces still in occupied gaza strip. they need to be moved. they need to be removed. we need to assess and evaluate the massive amount of damage to the infrastructure and to the life of our people in the gaza strip, and to see how we can mobilise resources in order to take, to be able to implement the monumental task of the government which was announced in his speech as to the plan of the new government of the state of palestine, as it relates to the gaza strip. cani can i ask you about that extraordinary— can i ask you about that extraordinary momenti can i ask you about that l extraordinary moment we can i ask you about that - extraordinary moment we

1993, there were high hopes after peace talks known as we cause low accords created the palestinian national authority meant to provide limited self government. the piano became an official partner in negotiations over an eventual state. but after a string of terror attacks negotiations over the adventure status of palestine installed for years, then beginning in 2009, the administration of us president brock obama under pressure at both sides to negotiate. and after that stalled, in 2011, the palestinian authority applied to the you and to be recognized as a member states as in 2012 the assembly granted palestine the status of a non member observer. but the move did little to move israel's position since then negotiations have stalled again with is really politics taking a hard turn to the right and with gaza under the hard line regime of a mouse which calls for israel's destruction. the palestinian authority is widely considered to be corrupt and weak. after her mazda is terror attacks of october 7th, the notion of a sovereign palestinian state became extremely unpopular and is real yet as insoluble

palestinian abbasid are of the united nations. —— ambassador. i've been speaking to the palestinian ambassador to the united nations, riyad mansour, and i asked whether the palestinian authoritynment with hamas. our government declared from the beginning of this aggression that we have one unified, one government that is responsible for the affairs of the palestinian people in the occupied part of the state of palestine, including the gaza strip, the west bank and eastjerusalem. in fact, significant proportion of the budget of the palestinian national authority is being spent all the time to the employees of the national authority in the gaza strip, and it never stops and continues to take place, including during the seven months of aggression against our people. that is in terms of the responsibility. in terms of the details, it is very difficult to put anything in place as long as there is israeli occupied forces still in occupied gaza strip. they need to be removed. i want to ask you about the moment, the extraordinary moment at the united nations a few days ago when the un general assembly voted to support the palestinian bid to become a full un member, which would effect

this declaration must be adopted by the palestinian authority as well as the united nations. together with the, the local, regional, and global community, and an emergency plan put in place to address this issue is to allow the unconditional delivery over leave aide into guys, us trip above old bank. the old lowest responsible for the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity be brought to adjust this week on, on, on the human rights activists. i'm old. those didn't support those. so i and this petition in order to be presented to both the palestinian authority and the united nations. until guys a strip is fully declared a famine historic and zone long lives. guys. thank you. that's the note for you. we have collected one hundreds of taking it shows and we held that this done, but it will leads thousands if not to 1000000 together with the following functions . that activities to be organized over the coming days until with each hour ago, i give the floor the headed me out loud as the member of the human rights gans. it's so kind of the problem. thank you for being here tod

palestinians are also counting their dead. lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. i'm joined now by ben scott — former australian representative to the palestinian authority and senior advisor at the australian national hejoins us now from canberra. depite warnings from the us and others, israel is already carrying out military operaions in rafah. are they getting close to their end game or wiping out hamas? i think israel is a very long way from its and game of trying to wipe out hamas and i think there is increasing recognition in israel that that is not a realistic objective, if we're talking about out hamas altogether. doing serious damage with militate abilities is a realistic goal but not much plan of what happens on the day after. what has been underlined by the fact that we see more fighting northern gaza and areas as your reporter said which is villa that were cleared, hamas is coming back, giving rise to much more frustration inside israel's national security establishments and more general, speaking more openly and criticising the prime minister. what's your take on israeli prime minister netanyahu's decision to ignore pleas for restraint — from the us and other countries including austral

passports, palestinians have leadership, palestinians have ministries, they have institutions, and we have our own say and so on. and this is a national authoritys not a security agent for israel. this palestinian authority is a reflection of the will of the palestinian people. the palestinian president has been elected. but at the same time, also, in that same period... unfortunately, israel has blocked our right for elections injerusalem in the last, since the last five, six years. 0k. i mean, it was supposed to be a four—year term, president abbas, and he's been in powerfor 19 years now. you mentioned the icc, and i want to ask you about how you see palestinian responsibility under the same statute. if the chief prosecutor of the icc gets his arrest warrants, three of them will be for hamas leaders, ismail haniyeh, mohammed deif and yahya sinwar. if they are then on palestinian territory in ramallah, where you are, elsewhere in areas of the west bank that you control, would you hand them over to the icc? icc is not a palestinian invention. icc, international criminal court, and icj, international court ofjustice, these are legal internationa

why get a poser is the creation of a palestinian states at this time and why it opposes the united nations granting members statewood status to the palestinian authority. the united states argues that the creation of a palestinian state can only be achieved through the process of negotiations of a 2 state solution between the israel palestine conflict and that the united nations moving ahead with this would be premature. and there was a vote at the security council back in april on this question, and the usa voted know and vetoed the resolution that now in order for a new member state to be recognized by the united nations. first, the un general assembly must pass a resolution calling for it as just happened. and then from there, the united nations security council will need to vote on it. and then after that, the un general assembly, which includes all the countries of the united nations, will have to vote once again, and 2 thirds of the countries will have to approve it. now it's very unlikely that will happen with the united states planning to veto this resolution after un security council. however, there has been some interesting proceedings in th

palestinian people as the international community offense. it's right. so place among the family of nations. the united nations general assembly voted over welding lee in favor of granting full members statehood status to the palestinian authority. now the vote was pretty solidly in favor of the palestinians with 143 countries supporting the move to upgrade the palestinians to being not just observers, but full member states of the united nations and 9 countries loading against it and 25 abstentions. now in the aftermath of this pretty overwhelming vote, we had a number of countries speaking up at the general assembly about the need to move ahead with a 2 state solution to the israel palestine conflict. here's some of what we heard in a 2nd. okay. the answer, in order to work in a 2 state solution, spain has proposed a peace conference with the parties involved along the international community. this proposal has already been endorsed by the european union. there are belief the organization of islamic operation, and by more than 80 states which make up this general assembly, we have consistently maintained that position that adjusts them last spring solution can only be achieved based on a 2 state solution. on the basis of the

so boss inquiry, i mean, i mean the former minister of national academy in the palestinian authority and ceo of pharmacare p l. c. thanks a lot for joining us on the program. thank you, sir. thank you. the reference already say ukrainian military intelligence was directly involved in the deadly terrorist attack on a mosque out concert hall 2 months ago, which left $145.00 people dead. the head of the federal security service at an international terrorist group helped train the perpetrators it has been determined that the prepared actions financing attack and get away of the terrorist was coordinated through the internet. with the members of the we lie a horse and group located on the border of afghanistan and pakistan. after conducting the attack, the terrorists were given a clear order to head to the ukrainian border were an opening was being prepared for them. while the investigation is ongoing, it is possible to say with confidence that ukrainian military intelligence was directly involved in this attack. this is alexander board because he's a veteran security chief when he speaks

that today, even though president included boss, the leader of the palestinian authority, welcome the recognition and called on other nations to quote, support the struggle of our people for liberation and independence. matthew mole has the jump in perspective on this. why hasn't germany go up behind this lakers campaign for palestinian statehood as well? germany was caught off guard by this announcement. then there was really no for wanting from those, those political leaders who made the announcement yesterday to the you partners. and what it did was it puts them in a difficult position, gemini, whose itself is having a historical obligation to be a strong child, lied to israel, but it also wants to be a bridge to piece in them. at least i know germany's position as we had is the palestine state who palestinian statehood should be recognized. that that should come as a result of a negotiated 2 state solution. that is essentially an agreement reached between these readings and palestinians. and so the german position is that it believes that recognition know kind of pre judges those negotiations. i'm not quite clearly cont

today, even though president not mood, abbas the leader of the palestinian authority, welcome the recognition, and called on other nations to quote, support the struggle of our people for liberation and independence. so what's changed as a result of this announcement by aust, laura bloomfield, a middle east, an analyst and new york times best selling offer listen, recognition doesn't answer any of the hard questions. i can tell you that as a former senior policy advisor on the is really posted in negotiating team for the state department under president obama. i mean we have to determine borders, security, refugees, jerusalem. recognition is symbolic and i guess it was a 3 for one kind of deal for these countries because they were able to recognize house 9 reprimand israel and also kind of give a little rest of the united states for handling or perhaps miss handling on what they see or middle east negotiations until now. and the response from israel, of course we've seen israel recalling its impasse it as, but probably so benjamin netanyahu says this move the recognition rewards terrorism . how would you assess that stat

today, even though president not mood, abbas the leader of the palestinian authority, welcome the recognition, and called on other nations to quote, support the struggle of our people for liberation and independence. let's look at some of the developments and other stories from around the world at the south. the united nations top court says april make a building on friday on a request by south africa to order as well to implemented cease firing concept. south africa is leading a case that the international court of justice, accusing israel of genocide. it's petition the court for emergency measures to order israel to hold its military operations. we have to have it. columbia says it will open an embassy and ramada in the palestinian territories. its foreign minister made the announcement, columbia, and president, gustavo pittsville is an odd and critic of benjamin netanyahu and his has described as well as campaigning guns. as genocide said, the british prime minister richey snack is called a surprise general election for july 4th month. so the unexpected is trading badly and opinion pulse, so he's conservative. most ob

that today, even though president mcclure to boss the leader of the palestinian authority, welcome the recognition and call the other nations to quote, support the struggle of our people for liberation and independence no, as minister of foreign affairs as espen bought ida, i asked him what he hoped the move would achieve. so this is a statement from uh for your be in congress. uh, very clearly saying that this is the right thing to do, but also the right the movements the right time. because we want to, to contribute to re establishing that credible face in the credible cost towards a $2.00 state solution. and uh, pennsylvania state, living in peace beside israel, which i seem to dream since the original, also no records. but what we also realized isn't just sitting idly by wasting for decides to negotiate this. so at the time of their own making is or amber has not worked for 30 years. and we need to spring in the position of the stadium site, but still trying to seek a 2 state solution where both peoples can live in the sense we do that together today. we hope that although you'll see him come to as well solo. and we als

palestinian capital. the majority of un countries recognise palestine as a state, although a few european nations do. the palestinian authoritynition. israel has withdrawn its ambassadors in protest against the move. let's listen to what the spanish prime minister pedro sanchez had to say earlier. this is a historic decision that has a single goal — to contribute to achieving peace between the israelis and palestine. the recognition of the state of palestine is not only a matter of historicaljustice with the legitimate aspirations of the palestine people, but it is also an imperative need to achieve peace. it is the only way to realise the solution that we all recognise as the only possible one to achieve a future of peace, that of a palestine state that coexists alongside the state of israel in peace and security. israeli forces have moved deeper into rafah despite international condemnation over a strike that set off fires at a refugee camp. eyewitnesses have told reuters that several israeli tanks have reached the centre of rafah. medics say at least 45 people were killed and hundreds more were treated for severe burns, fr

today, even though president masked move to boss the leader of the palestinian authority, welcome to the recognition and quote on other nations, to quote, support the struggle of our people for liberation and independence. other i spoke to the w correspondence, rebecca versus a jury slim and jack power in brussels. i'm assaulted by all seeing jack what this recognition means a well, it is a political statement and this was a very symbolic one. obviously the spanish prime minister, padre son says when he and i was maybe and i just meant imagery that today. he said that the recognition says to tell the palestinians, we are with you, simon harris, the leader in island. he said that the recognition of the pallet, it's a recognition of the palestinian people to the right to self determination. it is a really significant move for the 3 countries. it is symbolic, then not necessarily the biggest diplomatic powers of europe, but they have been making a, they've been saying that they going to do this, but sometimes all of them it will come into force. this recognition on may the 28th that what other countries belgium was perhaps going

palestinian authority. and then we've had it, the mob been give it the national security, administer make a very provocative visit to the alex up mosca. compiled a very deliberate move on his part to try to inflame tension. he's also talking about punishing the palestinian authority. so the personal government reaction is like i say, going to be this idea that you're rewarding terrorism. expect to hear that a lot and very loudly him wrong. thank you very much. him on con, lives there in amman. jordan, let's go to the occupied westbank 90 that abraham is in ramallah for us. it. what's been the reaction of the palestinian authority? there has been a wides. welcome from all parts of the palestinian authority also about the far as the mass. all. 1 of them saying that this has shown that the palestinians deserve and independence faith of their own when it comes to the palestinian presidency. it has released 3 statements welcoming the decision by each country saying that this is a free nude to ending these rays. the occupation that this show is that the diplomatic effort that has been taken on by the palestinian

you have three european nations recognizing the palestinian authority as national leadership. cease-fire depends on hamas more than israel. israel has made multiple proposals that the white house describes as generous that hamas has rejected. hamas continues to demand end to the fighting in a victory for hamas. annmarie: with the killing of an egyptian soldier, how concerned are you about the peace between israelis and the egyptians? norman: i think egypt and israel will take whatever steps necessary to de-escalate. neither of them want to threaten the peace treaty. you are likely to see the europeans or another entity come in and try to manage the border crossing to prevent this. lisa: given what happened over the weekend, do you think this makes it more or less likely that there can be a negotiation on the hamas side? norman: prior to this event there was very little likelihood hamas was changing its position. we are now less likely because this provides an opportunity for hamas to say it will not cooperate because of the death of 70 civilians in that terrible tragedy. lisa:

nation of authority. the recognition of palestinian statehood is the climax of months of intense diplomacy made desperately urgent by the reality in gaza. sanchez rejected is rarely criticism. this recognition is nothing against any particular state or people. he said it's only purpose is to achieve peace. this fun. yeah. where the lydia, the, spain can be a leader, so that you're going to have its own politics rather than simply following the united states. because america is no longer a real mediator, but it's, it's actually part of the conflict. and so europe can lead with different ideas. challenge now is to persuade more european nations to follow that example, slovenia on multiple have expressed the willingness. the pressure now is growing on germany and france and u. k. across the united states has long assumed leadership of middle east peace initiatives, but springs declaration is evidence of a growing cents a month to month, even western nations. but the u. s. policy is failing to bring a 2 state solution, any closer pull, brennan, i'll just 0 madrid. me? well, nobody's probably. madison says he h

today, even though president include a boss, the leader of the palestinian authority, welcome the recognition, and called on other nations to quote, support the struggle of our people for liberation and independence. daniel levy is president of the us. i'm at least a project that's a non profit organization that focuses on the israel palestinian conflict names to promote peace. it was positive these way between with negotiates as a due process and the also the piece, a coolant process in the 1990s. and advice for ma is riley prime minister, who bought a welcome to the w. can we start with your reaction to this announcements? one, i guess primarily one this was taken so long for countries that are committed to 2 states and why these countries relatively isolated among the european states who is yet to recognize palestine. and then 11 does walk next. that was the because the active recognition because because as long as it remains just that is rob this involved in the states that they recognize these on during occupation in which there all day the violations of international law. so will these decisive not recognize palest

palestinian nation in the past days and it was decided that the rights of unfortunately, this did not happen in the past decades, and wherever the public opinion and the conditions of the political authorities of different countries were based on this will, it is part of the rights of the palestinian nation. turn to him, veto the americans in connection with this the important issue became a barrier, created a bombardment and did not allow the rights of the palestinian people to reach them. yes , well, in fact, we should pay attention to this point that an international organization that arose from the thoughts and desires of the right. the truth is for all nations and a charter was accepted by all nations. unfortunately , there was an exception in this regard, and this exception was the palestinian nation and the palestinian land, which was completely trampled on during the past decades. yes, but this is an important point that never requests to the legitimate right of the palestinian nation from the public eye around the world. it didn't go down, but unfortunately the structure is wrong and it is illegal for the international organization regarding the right of veto to certain countries t

nations will now recognize a palestinian state. spain, ireland and norway are now among more than two thirds of the united nations that acknowledge palestine. it's a largely symbolic move today. the palestinian authorityd it a measure of support. it was condemned, though, by israel, which called its recall of its ambassadors from the three countries. the white house said it is focused on a two state solution to end hostilities. >> each country is entitled to make its own determinations, but the us position on this is clear. president biden, as i just said, has been on the record supporting a two state solution. he has been equally emphatic on the record that that two state solution should be brought about through direct negotiations through the parties, not through unilateral recognition. >> well, this comes as major logistics and security challenges are unfolding at the us military pier off the coast of gaza. most of the aid is sitting in a staging area because officials are having trouble finding safe distribution routes. >> coming up on ktvu news at 630 commencement time at san jose state university. and all signs do indicate that pro-palestinian protesters have agreed to take their encampment down

in fact, a significant portion of the budget of the palestinian national authori is being spent all the time by the employees of the authoritiesgaza strip. it never stopped and it continued to take place, including during these seven months of aggression against our people. that is in terms of the responsibility. in terms of the details, it is very difficult to put anything in place as long as there is israeli occupying forces still in the occupied gaza strip. they need to be removed. we need to assess and evaluate the massive amount of damage to the infrastructure and to the life of our people in the gaza strip, and to see how we can mobilize resources in order to be able to implement the monumental task of the government, which was announced in a speech as to the plan of the new government of the state of palestine as it relates to the gaza strip. anchor: can i ask you about that extraordinary moment we had at the united nations of few days ago when the un's general assembly voted to support the palestinian bid to become a full u.n. member, which would effectively recognize ultimately a palestinian state? israel reacted with

nations general assembly. overwhelmingly passed a resolution today reviving the palestinian authority's bid for un membership. this is not the final step here, but israel's ambassador shredded a copy of the un charter in protest. the u.s. voted against the resolution, saying a long sought two state solution will only come through direct negotiations in washington. alice barr, nbc news. and we have full coverage of president biden's bay area visit on our website. you can read more about his stops while here, as well as see video of him landing and taking off. just go to nbcbayarea.com and click his name on the trending bar. while the president certainly saw some nice warm weather while he was here, let's take you outside, show you what it looks like. lots of sunny skies that are leading to rising temperatures. this is what it looks like in san francisco, san jose, walnut creek. the question is, what's it going to be like this weekend, especially on mother's day? let's bring in chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. okay. you are literally in the hot seat. yes we are, and we're going to be able to deliver on that fo

national guard, with summer holidays ahead , state authorities fear that rallies for palestinian rightsill out of university campuses and into the streets. dmitry melnikov and pavel kostrikov, news from washington. university protests in the states were immediately picked up by europe. and the rector of leading universities can forget about the calm end of the academic year. threats. getting diplomas didn’t work, tents, police on campuses, slogans, we are all children of gas, this will last a long time. the elite university of political studies, seance, was once again at the center of this week's protests. students called the discussion with management disappointing and occupied several buildings. after spending the night inside, palestinian committee activists told the press that they begin a hunger strike and a peaceful one. the state supports it politically, suppresses and intimidates voices opposing this genocide. today, students decided to take to the streets, inspired by the movement in the united states, and we call on all students, high school students and workers. now is the ti

and the palestinian national administration, that is, it will refuse diplomatic visas and prevent diplomats from these countries from visiting the administrative center of the palestinian authority, in order to to demonstrate to them the absurdity of this decision, how they can recognize a state that actually does not... exist, and they cannot directly establish contact with this state. it is very important for israel currently demonstrate that such actions, they lead to very negative consequences in order to prevent the spread of this trend, a number of other countries are currently also considering the possibility of recognizing palestine, and therefore israel will react very harshly to these diplomatic actions, as for ukraine, as i have already noted that this is not an issue for ukraine. because ukraine has recognized palestinian statehood, another matter is that, thank god, for us we do not have to react to this in any way at the moment, we are not expected to approve the decisions of spain and others countries, or to condemn, this is a matter that does not concern us, you can't say anything here, you will definitely quarrel with someone on the international arena and with

doubt a desk blow to what was left of the old style palestinian national movement of which my food i best about a student authority president is the the leading example is found to have nationalist movement that's dominant in the west bank and pretty much all the other factions that grew up within the so called armed struggle, all of these factions, including from us and they, they, they're, they're basically they, their pastor sell by date. and how muscle, though, it looks like it was on the up with the 7th of october, a demonstrated stability to fight. it's still our underground fighting. i think that whole model of political action and this immense attachment both to the concept of resistance, but specifically of armed resistance of the gun. this is something that i believe has failed historically. and that's at some point in coming months or the next few years. maybe what we'll see is that the palestinians no longer have a viable political structure that adequately represents them and gives them leadership. and i think that is one of the biggest lessons of 7 october and the understand your response to it were
