why we don't have to fight around ramallah, only because the demilitarization of ramallah, the west bankwas not violated. nobody has struggled thousands of iranian rockets into ramallah. now has launched thousands of rockets from ramallah into tel aviv. so the only difference, the only reasons why we have to fight around gaza, with a lot of suffering, both from israelis and palestinians in gaza, is hamas is violated the demillization of gaza, struggled demilitarized zone and launched thousands of those rockets into israel, almost 4,000, only in the last few week. no democratic government can accept such rockkú9íl attacks o suicide bombing attacks or internal incursions into its territory. of course, we have to defend our people and to strike back. exact exact exactly like the united states when they're under attack from similar terrorist organizations like al qaeda and isis and boko har haram, you name it. >> palestinian groups will counter by saying the occupation of gaza, although you have left the gaza strip, they believe it still continues because you control the borders, you control

in ramallah thousands took part. those in the west bank faced their own struggles. illegal israeli settlements are built, and israeli sold years can launch operations in the territories. in ramallah, the fate of activism is changing. >> new media is stronger than going into the streets. new media, blogs, facebook - it's stronger and faster. >> i have a lot of friends in america. the best way is to get word out on facebook, instagram, twitter. a lot of different media things. kids of our generation. >> the biggest street protest utilize social media and organised by palestinian youths. by contrast those called for tends to be smaller. the sentiment is the same. we are not asking people for a moment of silence, but resistance. >> in gaping the support of her -- gaining the support of her community, sara hopes change will come not just for gaza but all palestinians. >>> sudan's newsagency said 18 nationals were killed in a rocket strike, after a random rocket exploded where they lived in tripoli. sudan's foreign minister said the situation doesn't warrant nationals lea

in ramallah, west bank's main city there's belief hamas will be stronger after this present conflict. here's our reporter. >> west bank palestinians belonged to a charity founded the day war broke out and they're doing their best to help those that lost all due to the israeli bombardment. >> you need political ground swell and that kind of unity doesn't exist. it's an obstacle. they saw people confronting israelis. >> life gos on as normal here and people are thinking of gaza. protests have been taking place across the west bank. meanwhile, clashes have been taking place across the west bank as people react to events in gaza. a little over a wook ago, one person was killed and scored more wounded when israeli security forces opened fire on a checkpoint between ramallah and jerusalem. for now the third intifada that some were predicting start to materialize. for the senior member of the ruling plo, recent events only heightened support for rivals hamas. he said they will emerge stronger from the conflict. >> i think support is rising up in the west bank. and it was there at the beginni

that would certainly bolster the role of the palestinian authority in ramallah, in gaza itself, but we saw in the weeks following the formation of that government between hamas and fatah, before all of this, that there were tensions between fatah and hamas, and there's no guarantee those tensions couldn't flare up again, as ramallah tries to re-establish some sort of presence, some sort of authority within the gaza strip. wolf. >> i want you to stand by. we'll have more on the breaking news. a cease-fire that we're now told by egyptian state media will go into effect at 11:00 p.m. local time between israel and gaza. i want to go to charlotte, north carolina now. the president is about to speak before the american legion. want to hear what he's going to say on this, other issues as well. he's probably going to thank a lot of commanders. let's listen to the president. >> thank you for your tireless commitment to america's veterans. i want to thank the leadership team for welcoming me here today. including your national dan wheeler, your executive director in washington, peter gaiten, nan

there is an entire generation born in gaza who were not able to visit their relatives in ramallah orerusalem. it is at maximum an hour drive. gaza is a big jail. to give you another personal example, i was born in gaza. to say israel has handed over gaza to the palestinians and they could have turned it into singapore but they screwed up, is not true. 30 years later, to enter ramallah in the west bank, i need to coordinate a military permit from the israeli military. the israelis still control everything to do with gaza. they withdrew the settlers and the army, but they still controlled the air and. if you are a palestinian from gaza, you cannot go live in the west bank. even though you are under the authority of the palestinian authority. basically the israelis control everything. the israelis, it is a common complaint to say we cannot negotiate with them because he has no control over gaza. every two years, they lose something and hamas starts sending primitive rockets into israel. hamas themselves, they seek consultation with the palestinian authority. it is important for the pale

he's joining us from ramallah. nabil shaath, where does it stand right now?e're hearing suggestions, rumors, coming out of cairo that maybe there's some sort of breakthrough in the talks between the palestinian delegation there, meeting with egyptians and others. where do the talks stand as far as you know right now? >> well, as far as i know, the palestinian delegation is committed to reach a cease-fire agreement. we're ready to practice a cease-fire agreement. but the most important part, which is the invading israelis, are not there. they're not in cairo. therefore, the party that you need to knnegotiate with is absent. you have a small american delegation. the egyptians are listen to the palestinians. but there is no negotiating party from the israelis. and therefore i really wonder what -- whether the israelis want a cease-fire. what they're doing is something called a unilateral withdrawal which keeps them in gaza, keeps the bombing on. yesterday, they killed 143 civilians. today, so far, about 50 civilians have been killed. we don't really have a cease

and another 19-year-old was killed near ramallah. and just west of ramallah another flash point for violen violence. there, there were protests, people throwing stones, fireworks and security was responding with tear gas and rubber-coated bullets and life ammunition. the protests quickly spread to villages and 100 people have been wounded. >> israel has called up tens of thousands of reservists, but a spokesman denied occupying gaza. >> we're in the middle of a military operation. we have two different paths a diplomatic path, and that is the preferred root, but hamas has rolled over that, and then the military to bring a sense of calm and pharmacy to the population of israel. >> and a negotiator said that the palestinians are united in their goals for any cease-fire negotiations. >> the negotiating team found a really very unity led by president abbas, and that is to obtain an end of this holocaust in gaza and end the israeli aggression, through a cease-fire and allowing the people of gaza to live safely. >> since the start of the c

how difficult was it for you to get from ramallah on the west bank, where i normally speak to you, over to gaza? was it difficult to get into gaza? >> it was extremely difficult, wolf, because the israelis would not allow me to cross through areas, so a trip that would usually take two hours from ramallah to gaza -- i had to travel for a day and a half, because i had to go to jordan, and then fly from jordan to egypt and then cross sinai and then spend the night in arish and then next morning go to rafah and cross through rafah. it wasn't easy at all. i mean, there were lots of restrictions. the israeli army was bombarding the area when i crossed. so we had to take big risk to get to gaza. but finally, i managed, after long wait and i am so happy to be with the people here in gaza. >> i'm glad you got there safe and sound. i'm glad that there's a cease-fire that's in effect right now. i'm encouraged, you know, as you know, i was there for almost four weeks. there were several false alarms. how do you think this one is looking right now, this cease-fire? >> it seems to be holding so far.

he's in ramallah. thank you for being with us. welcome. just, can you outline to me the difference between the agreement we have now and the one back in 2012? because on the face of it, there's not much difference between them. >> i think there is a clearer understanding about lifting the siege on gaza and the sense that the passages have to be open, not only for humanitarian need, but also for reconstruction materials. of course, that's not enough. and i think the relifting of the siege will only happen if there'ses s a free sea port ande sea passage. only then we can talk about the lifting of the siege and gaza can have a real chance for reconstructing what israel has damaged, which is huge damage. we are talking about more than 20,000 homes, houses, institutions that are partially or completely destroyed. besides, of course, the huge human loss where israel has killed 2,142 palestinians, including 577 children. >> israel said this very agreement was tabled a few days ago and hamas rejected it then. is that true? >> that's a big lie beca

he's joining us from ramallah on the west bank. dr.re high hopes this cease-fire this was announced by the u.n. secretary, the secretary of state, applauded by the palestinian authority, so many others, would work. what happened, in your analysis? what went wrong? why did it collapse? >> well, in the first place, this cease-fire was really quite fragile because it had a problem in it, which was that the israeli army reserves the right to continue its military operation while there was a cease-fire. in the sense that one of the conditions of the cease-fire was the israeli army would continue to destroy tunnels and of course bombard places. and probably this was one of the reasons why this cease-fire collapsed. on the other hand, hamas says that those who broke the cease-fire were the israeli side and the operation it did was at 6:30 in the morning, which is 1 1/2 hours before the cease-fire took place. in reality, in my opinion, the whole approach was wrong. and it's repeatedly done in a wrong way. because i believe now all the parties

the man was killed during a demonstration against israel's military offensive on gaza near ramallah. authorities say troops resorted to using live fire to protest not deterred by the initial riot dispersal method. they would protest the west bank on friday. military police blocked a road and threw stones at security forces. police fired on anothe and injuring people. for more we have more on our live blog at www.aljazeera.com. still to come libya's battleground. we'll have the latest on the fighting that has caused foreign nationals to leave the country. plus bangladesh border control catch a number of smugglers. and new rugby champions. details later. >> a plane carrying an american aid worker infected with the ebola virus has left for the united states.

reports coming from ramallah suggesting that the egyptians are actually calling off the talks for nowecause of the ongoing violence. the israeli delegation, we understand, because in a few hours here, it will be shabat, which is the jewish holy time, they will not actually be leaving until saturday evening is the plan to cairo. not clear whether the tedelegatn will go according to the israeli media. it is suggested they have told the u.n. this truce is over. i have to say, though, it is very significant that no one is actually publically announcing anything. there is no public announcement coming from the israeli prime minister or foreign ministry. there is no public announcement coming from the united nations. they say they are aware of the apparent breaches of the ceasefire. they are watching the situation very closely. they are varied worried about the situation but they are not pronouncing on whether this ceasefire is continuing or whether its ended. it has in my view collapsed but they are working behind the scenes to see if they can put it together quickly. >> we will see what h

his problem is he has to go back to ramallah and ramallah right now, president abbas s in an alliance this is like al qaeda. they're a terror organization. they're committed to our destruction. this is an organization whose officials were celebrating on 9/11 when thousands of americans were killed, whose prime minister who is right now underneath in some tunnel in gaza, he actually condemned the united states for killing osama bin laden. that's who we're dealing with. >> who at is the solution here. you don't have a delegation going to egypt -- >> what's the point? we've had -- >> is there really a sill marmi solution to this. well acquainted as i am obviously with israel's arguments about security, are you paying a price here that ultimately endangers israel's security in the future, enflames not just international opinion but certainly been gaza and the arab world to the point you're losing the larger war even if you achieve some military objectives right now. >> i don't think so. you have to fight terror. you can't embrace terrorists. that's unfortunately what president abbas has d

he joins us live from ramallah. thanks for being with us. president abbas says that united palestinian delegation will be traveling to cairo tomorrow. what will they be doing there? >> well, we presume that the international community and egypt and the united states will still its best to rescue this ceasefire, and therefore, we -- our delegation, which includes five hamas participants would be ready in egypt to talk about what is required immediately after that's fire, i.e., opening up gaza, ending the siege of gaza, releasing prisoners and so on. so as the people of gaza are resisting steadfastly, the delegation will be in cairo as an absolute show in reality of willingness to go through the ceasefire. >> how much of a set back to any negotiating process that you play enter into is the capture of an israeli soldier today? >> well, hamas have not as of yet admitted there is a captured israeli soldier, but we know what the israelis are doing that cannot be hidden. they are just bombarding gaza, north and south. they are killing at least 100
