but what was really a striking where he says statements that he made in ramallah, the kind of sympathy that he expressed towards the palestinians. and also in condemning our or criticizing the kind of policies that the exact israeli government has decided on the last few days, he said that he is opposing the expanding of the supplement project. he's opposing the m legalization of outpost. he is opposing the demolition of palestinian homes. he opposes evictions. these are the kinds of things that we heard saturday night from the israeli government. these are the kinds of policies that this government wants to promote. sammy's, how covert? well, how tangled and complicated the israeli palestinian conflict is that grass roots level can be seen in the example of a tiny bed, one village in the west bank, some right wing politicians want to see it demolished. palestinian and israeli writes groups oppose the move with the dead line looming to decide on the villages fight once and for all. the village of hon. allah mar. home to around 200 palestinian bedouins may seem humble. but it's at the c

on during his short press briefing in ramallah and in lincoln went on to say this. busy it's important to continue to strive, not only reducing violence, but ensuring that only the israelis in house in the light enjoy the same right. same opportunities what we're, what we're seeing now. house indians is a shrinking brightness. oh, now expanding one. and that to we believe the change. earlier i asked sonnus alcala journalists based on to wrestling about his take on in to mean lincoln's him as an in israel and the palestinian territories. and the secretary of state, of course, it showed his close ties to israel. a he met with a prime minister, the minister of defense ad there had this kind of like very close a link on security issues and also all the issues connected to these early society . but what was really a striking where he says statements that he made in ramallah, the kind of sympathy that he expressed towards the palestinians. and also at condemning our or criticizing the kind of policies that the exact israeli government has decided on the last few days. he

on the other hand in ramallah was very clear. he said that the, the key is to follow the arab initiative. the arab initiative talks about it is early withdraw to the $967.00 borders, the establishment of a palestinian state alongside israel with easters, lin, being the capital of the palestinian state. and this would be the key for normalization with the rest of the arab countries with the rest of the muslim world . on the other hand, nathan jo, he brought a different perspective. when he was speaking a, yesterday, he was saying that 1st of all, israel has to engage with the arab world, reach more normalization with the arab countries. and then the palestinian question will be solved. he doesn't say how and with this government that supports more settlements, clearly a palestinian state is not on the agenda at home or was lincoln's visit to ensure he has influence over the further course and events in the middle east, including of course the working towards the solution of the conflict yeah, well the americans didn't have any pla

she joins us now from ramallah. diana, as those meetings in ramallah are about to kick off. let me ask you a few reaction fast ab lincoln's time in jerusalem in the last day or so. it's not clear why he's coming because all that he's intending to do time. and again, is just simply part israel on the back and to give it i get another green light to continue to kill palestinian. so i don't know why these secretaries and stayed on these foreign minister or show up if they don't intend to do anything other than to continue to give israel good green white to continue the job to continue to y'all to continue to call it. i say it just doesn't make sense to me. oh that we've been hearing our correspondence to caution against any expectations of some kind of breakthrough. yeah, there's all very much feels like a reaffirmation of the status quo. it's worse than a reaffirmation of the status quo. the problem is, is that the status quo, what has gotten into this place in the 1st place? but more than that, it's the continual green light that the united states and europe continue to give

and then a warm breeze for places like ramallah and bay root. your temperature is above 20 degrees, but it's a different story for the other side of the mediterranean alerts in play for how low temperatures are here. a sub 0 by night in some spots and breezy along the coast o portugal, staying with a temperature theme, then i think in a few days, one day we'll get into double digits for. he's got a smidge of snow from moscow to mens. but where there is some serious snow falling is in the mountains of algeria, we could see about 10 to 20 centimeters with that storm system there. but still whether windy from rocko, algeria to new jersey to the northwest of libya as we dip toward the south, still that tropical storm wobbling around in the moves in b channel here, drenching that west coast. and we've also had a lot of rain as of late and move, soccer, few showers in storms for these turn. cape province, cause luna tall and how same province in south africa on friday, we'll see soon. ah. debating the issues of the day, the 5 largest polluters of the

and that question is being asked with evermore increasing frequency, emerald con our desert ramallah. one of the longest held, palestinian israeli prisoners is back home after 40 years behind bars. my eunice and his cousin were convicted of kidnapping and killing, and his rally soldier back in the 1980s. i'm at my, her reports from the palestinian village of iraq in israel met her. eunice is free after 40 years. in an israeli prison, friends and family gathered in order to welcome him home. eunice was the longest held, palestinian prisoner, he and his cousin kareem were arrested in 1983 and convicted of murdering. and his really soldier kareem was released 2 weeks ago. the 1st thing eunice did was a visit to his father's grave. he died 12 years ago, granted r o. i always hoped when i was free to see my homeland liberated eunice was born in ira, in 1958, just 10 years after the nectar, when hundreds of thousands of palestinians either fled or were forced, from the homes to make way for jewish settlers. when israel was founded in 1948, his parents chose to stay and later became palestin

they broke into the house and the town of 2 messiah north of ramallah, before setting it alight. no injuries hump reported out there as senior. political analyst, marlin bizarre, says, it's like either the israeli cabinets response will lead to more with sentiment. the idea of law punishing a whole number of people simply because they are relatives and friends of the family that goes against any justice or any definition of justice whatsoever. and more than that, it just never helped us. we it never deterred anyone from carrying any action in the past. what we know is that these are a vengeful attack venture for acts that are meant to appease the israeli public, more than they are meant to attain security. because if they were meant at insecurity, we would have had security after the countess demolitions and ceilings and the potations that have taken place in the occupied characters over the past half a century. but despite the countless actions of that nature, the security situation continues to deteriorate. the escalation now probably threatens to be worse than ever, but it's j

we believe on tuesday to ramallah to see the pallet and you know, authority leadership will come and violence change the u. s. position. because the u. s. position really is not to get involved. it's to watch what's going on earth restraint, but not to actively involved themselves in any piece making. we saw certainly the trump administration was actively involved in, in what it said was piece, making the policy inside said that they were promoting a solution that was very much and israeli made a plan that really would not have left a viable palestinian state. well, since joe biden came into office, he's not pursued those trump plans, but he's not really doing much at all. and many other members of the international community would like to see much more international engagement. they'd like see more criticism of israel. what stopping that is the bike and administration, which really doesn't want to get dragged into this complex. it's focusing its energy on other things, particularly the war in ukraine. will sec just a blinking coming. his seeing things for himself. will it change the

you are sexual states, set the tone for his upcoming talks in jerusalem and in ramallah. it's the responsibility of everyone to take steps to content rather than claim them to work toward a day when people no longer feel afraid in their communities and their homes and their places of worship. that is the only way to hold the rising tide of violence. that is taking too many lives too many israelis to many palestinians. lincoln then we can speak now to a correspondent rebecca breton in jerusalem. rebecca answered it, blankets visit was of course planned some time ago. what impact could it have on the most recent tensions there? having a little trouble with the audio, earhart, but hopefully you can hear me. ok. you mentioned that this is coming at a time of height intentions this visit, and that's absolutely accurate people here, certainly asking whether or not this visit or will do anything towards eating those tension. certainly hoping maybe not expecting that we know that this was long planned as you say, this visit by antony blinking. and therefore, whilst de escalation

this being occupied by israeli settlers, but at smith's reports now from ramallah in the occupied west bank. oh, the wolves oldest christine community says it's feeling the pressure like never before. rama's orthodox church was packed with christmas day mass. even though christians make up just one percent of the population of the occupied west bank, down from 11 percent at the end of the ottoman era in 1922. and now with the most far right, is railey government. there's ever been few here. see that trend reversing. who taught tale as urban? what are the plans of these extreme parties and what they believe in are based on expelling the other from holy places in jerusalem and all of polystyrene that is unrealistic because we palestinians have a long history here. we are very rooted in this land. israel's occupation, the stranglehold it has on the economy and the security situation, or what drives most palestinians to leave. church leaders here have warned that christians become the target of frequent and sustained attacks by fringe radical groups in jerusalem. and the holy land, it's a
