or is us policy toward israel mainly focused on other regional issues like iran and saudi arabia. today we're talking with professor juan cole, who teaches history at the university of michigan, and is the chief editor of informed comment, a website focused on u. s. foreign policy. doctor cole, it's so good to be talking with you again. can you give our viewers a snapshot of the moment, both politically, in israel, politically in palestine, and what joe biden is up to sending his national security adviser and the secretary of state into israel. now the israeli political system is broken. i, it's had the state has had several elections just a couple years and they've been had a great deal of difficulty putting together a ruling coalition that had any staying power. one of the problems had been that most center and center right. parties in israel were reluctant to align with the lucas party, which is led by ben. you mean that anyhow, that's in ya is under is i is on trial. we're corruption. ah, and is notoriously difficult to work with. they did put together a government last year t

which is being described by some people as the biggest—everjoint military exercise between the us and israelthe us and israel together are right now actively preparing a military plan for an attack on iran? no, what it's designed to project is, number one, that we have israel's back and we'll work with israel, and that israel and the us together can work to defend their common interests. but it's also to project the fact that regardless of what's happening in ukraine, regardless of what's happening in the russian theatre, in the european theatre, we could do other things. we can mobilize our military, if necessary, to defend our interests. so, i think it's a sign of our alliance with israel, it's a sign of our capacity to do more than one thing at once. and i'll let those around the world, friends and foes, interpret it as they wish. just a final thought on the us and israel, and what you are saying to each other about iran. does it make any difference to you — i mean, you're a very experienced diplomat who has a long experience of working with the israelis on various aspects of mideast peac

i live to new york in august 2016 to serve us israel consul general. they're convinced that they submit this and will be in a law place in my agenda in may. i'm in new york in the united states 15 jews were murdered, not attacked, murdered in that they submit the carfax. so antisemitism, unfortunately thriving again in the world. and there, you know what they tell worldly. does that come to yet vashem a especially the work leaders? is when you see and they sent me these them act immediately. don't wait. if you wait, antisemitism will met us thighs into monstrous than men, shall cindy, be impossible to stop it. you actually touched on it and before and i think i do think it's an important point though in the distance between the holocaust and today, do you think that there is a correlation between the resurgence of anti semitism you just mentioned that perhaps once the last of ivers die out, we might see even further resurgence of it. is there a correlation to relate between the events of the holocaust? yes or no. anti semitism is anti simon business an

israel's relations with its neighbors. that will be looking towards saudi arabia and that those 2 things are particular important agenda policy agenda for benjamin netanyahu and the us we'll be looking to assist with that. but of course, now we will see that de escalation will overshadow, given the events of the last few days. and rebecca, given the new government in israel, led by benjamin netanyahu. what has been the impact on the u. s. is really relationship. i will, there's no doubt that the new a far right government here in israel is really testing that special relationship between israel and the u. s. the u. s. watching closely, they've already sent a couple of delegations, lower level delegations, to try and see how the 2 governments will work together. they are watching closely to see the direction that this government will take. the lead up to this visit benjamin netanyahu as a part of the response package. if you will, to the attacks on the weekend. they said that they were going to strengthen settlement they didn't give for the details. but we know that strengthening settlements and expanding even in settlements is a k policy objective of many of the har

so they're doing great technological interchange is the us and israel. it was a marriage made in heaven from their point of view and battering to tiny country in the persian gulf, which is deeply afraid of being annexed by iran. would do anything to avoid that. and so even making friends with israel, which is anti iranian makes sense for them. they brought in morocco, which has its own domestic problems. and this was a way of getting international recognition for, from rocco's claims to the western sahara. so, but then after that, algeria, you know, syria, these other countries are not, you know, so easily convinced them, and even saudi arabia, you know, the old guard and saudi arabia, king saw mine, and the people around him are dead set against normal relations with israel until there's palestinian state they put forward is the, the saudis put forward a peace plan in the early zeros, and they still stick to it. the younger generation, saudi arabia, leaders like mom had been somebody, i think would be perfectly happy. and his signal this in new york to

but then a strong disapproval came from israel's close ally, washington, and us senator, at one of the republican party's foremost talks and pro israel advocate scene as very close to these rarely new prime minister benjamin netanyahu called israel's decision to stay quiet on ukraine. i'm nervous. let's take a listen. i'm glad to see mister cohen, the news railey foreign minister is prioritize in the us israel, strategic relationship, and support continues humanitarian aid to ukraine. however, the idea that israel should speak less about russia's criminal invasion of ukraine is a bit unnerving. the same senator graham was the one who last february strongly criticized israel for not selling weapons to ukraine. israeli former prime minister, a law peed, spoke out repeatedly against russia openly actively and publicly condemn in moscow and accusing his forces of committed war crimes in ukraine. but he repeatedly rejected numerous ukrainian requests for arms. high report say also that early in december, netanyahu in a phone conversation asked you credit president zalinski to vote against t

good to have you with us. israel's military says it has carried out air strikes on militant targets in gaza. the strikes come hours after rockets were launched from the palestinian territory. israel says 3 out of 5 rockets were intercepted by the iron dome air defense system. no casualties have been reported on either side. the escalation comes after these really military conducted a deadly raid in the west bank city of jeanine. palestinian authority says 9 people were killed in the operation which is says was intended to thwart an imminent attack. palestinians blocked the streets of janine to bury their dead. they say one of the victims was a 60 year old woman. this video released by his real shows, troops moving in on a house in the jenin refugee camp in a rare daytime raid. israel said the house was being used by suspected militants plotting an attack against israelis. this is what was left of the home after the military and at detonated explosives being used by the suspects. the 3 hour rate is being described as the deadliest israeli operation in the west bank. into decades. the je

well, summer saying the us and israel appear to have added fuel to the fire of a well escalating tensions in the middle east. it's during talk some of the recent drone, a type on iranian infrastructure of the us secretary of state anthony blink and, and b is rarely prime minister. netanyahu quick to pin the blame on iran for an array of alleged reasons. it's a time where many and international community i would say, most of the international community have seen the true face of iran. we've seen the barbarism of this regime against its own people. they've seen how it exports aggression beyond its border and beyond the middle east. and i think there is a common consensus that this regime must not acquire nuclear weapons. we discussed deepening cooperation to confront and counter a rance destabilizing activities in the region and beyond. just as around as long supported terrorists that attack israelis and others. others seems now providing drones that russia is using to kill innocent ukrainian civilians. temperatures are certainly rising as we hear these statements from these railey prime mi

well us secretary of state antony blinkin. he is on a visit to israel and the palestinian territories. he met with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, into russell, and for the 1st time since he formed a new far right government. the long plan visit follows a series of violent incidents that have us officials worried about a major escalation between palestinians and israelis. antony lincoln's visit was planned for a long time, but its timing amid violence that his rattled israelis and palestinians has given it a sense of urgency. moments after landing lincoln urged for com it's the responsibility of everyone to take steps to contention, 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 halt the rising tide of violence that has taken too many lives. too many israelis to many palestinians almost every day in the week leading up to the trip had brought fresh violence hours before blink and landed. people in the west bank mourned

remarks delivered by massachusetts congressman jake akin, kloss focused on the creation of a joint us israel artificial intelligence center, so he enlisted the help of the ai chatbots known as chat g b t g p t mr speaker. i stand here today because i am planning to reintroduce the united states israel artificial intelligence center act, a bipartisan piece of legislation that will cement a mutually been official partnership. between united states and israel on artificial intelligence research. this is a critical congressman said he's hoping to spur debate about technology. there's growing concern, though about the power of chat g b p t after it was smart enough to pass exams at a law school. i wonder if i could do my taxes to next illegal battle involving the hit tv show. better call saul attacks provider called liberty tax service is claiming trademark infringement because the show featured a fictional business. that was called sweet liberty tax service is the show's producers are asking a court to throw out the lawsuit on first amendment grounds. next unusual interruption at a college baske

israel and the occupied territories. we'll have more on that in our news bulletin in the news our in our time next, it's the bottom line to stay with us. the news hi, i'm steve clemens and i have a question now that israel has a new right wing government in place. does the biden administration have a new strategy to deal with it? let's get to the bottom line. ah, the middle east has long been put on the backburner by us administrations, but there's been a flurry of diplomatic activity after israel held this latest elections. president joe biden sent his national security advisor jake sullivan, to meet with israeli and palestinian leaders last week. and now his secretary of state anthony blinking is going next week is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu has stacked his new government with ministers who let's face it, have a history of racism, an incitement against palestinians, and is moving towards basically annexing the west bank. that goes against the official us policy, which is to keep the door open to a palestinian state. but is that still on the table? or is us policy toward israel mainly focused on other regional issues li

us. and this lincoln visit in israel as well as where the palestinians is really aimed to de escalate, to bring both sides to take the heat off the boiler here a little bit or the whole situation of the boiler, if you will, a long term it is it to, to gauge if there is still a chance actually for some longer lasting, more in depth implemented piece solution between boston, indians, palestinians, and israelis. clearly, antony blinkin visit is a, is a really big deal in the region. but what 2 americans make of his trip there? yeah, i don't think a truth been told that the many are actually aware a nor do many, many care here about this trip, or at least as long as it doesn't come to iran. iran is a big issue in and for this trip and in the region, of course. however, here in the united states, people are more i would do. the majority of people are more interested in the upcoming state of the union address next week from president biden. you know, the economy recession, yes or no, inflation, immigration, all domestic issues and topics are on the forefront of americans. at the moment, i would

you make the us and israel escalate. the tensions in the middle east. this is according to some they accuse iran of storing up the trouble around the world. that is despite a drone attack on an iranian military facility, the some media outlets of accused us and israel being behind the program. we also hear from the palestinian health minister. this is an exclusive interview during which she a huge.

types, we zoom in peru demanding the release of jails, former and i thank you very much for joining us. israel has released the longest held palestinian prisoner who had been in detention for 40 years. kareem units was arrested in 1983 for allegedly attacking and israeli soldier in the golan heights. he was convicted and initially condemned to life in prison meant, but his sentence was needed. that's been in algae as him on con was joining us on the phone from just north of tel aviv his on his way to the home village of korean . eunice iran. tell us how did this release come about and what have been the reactions? well, the release came about because of various different deals that were being made to some of them even broken by one of the phone sex jesus, stay john kerry from the u. s. however, creaminess has been a very controversial figure because although like you say, he's the longest serving palestinian political president actually and he's are any citizen. he was arrested on january 6, 983. so 40 is to almost the day today's general except he has been released. he was released by these a

israel and this leadership on the palestinians. that process is very slim. how concerned is the us about israel's new hard land government, especially in the pursuit of a solution to the conflict? well they know certain finals of in a real bind, they're very concerned on the one hand if any, oh, has really some of the most radical members of a coalition that he's ever had. he is, in fact the most left wing, most moderate member of his coalition to many degrees. and he himself, of course, isn't on quantity. he's not someone that the administration loves, but he is someone they know how to work with. and he's certainly a cautious leader together with him however, are very extreme members, especially the minister in charge of the police and the finance minister and the minister in charge of the police. for example, just a couple of years ago in may. 2021 was one of the product tours on the streets that help for me and the violence, not him alone, but him as well. now he's in charge of police. so the administration really has a very difficult task dealing with this new and with this ne

we begin in israel where the far right ministers and the police high commissioner of called on every israeli citizen who has a licensed weapon to use it to defend themselves. a cause came as israel security cabinet met following attacks and occupied east jerusalem. prime minister benjamin netanyahu said israel's response will be strong. swift and precise. on saturday, 2 is rainy's were injured in a gun attack and still won in occupied east jerusalem. a 13 year old palestinian suspect is under arrest. this just aus off to a palestinian gunman killed 7 israeli settlers near a synagogue on friday night. he was shot dead and police arrested dozens of palestinians. all this latest escalation began when israeli forces killed mine, palestinians in a raid on jeanine, it led to rocket fire from garza and israeli, as strikes the united nations as said it's deeply worried about is escalation of violence. while the european union has urged israel only to use lethal force as a last resort out there is, james bays begins our coverage. now this situation in east jerusalem is now extremely tense. israeli police say they're on their highest state o

regarding iran, saudi arabia, these kind of things, a bigger picture items, if you will, that the us and israel i was wanting to remain on the same page about so i do think that this will be about strengthening that relationship. and secretary clinton will needs palestinian leaders to morrow. what can we expect there? that's right to morrow, antony blinking will be heading to ramallah to meet with palestinian president, matthew the bus. he will of course be bringing with him the message that the u. s. always brings, maintains that of their support of a 2 state solution. something that is really at an all time low on both sides here . there's really, paul to be done recently to show that, you know, there's a very, very much of minority on both sides of the past palestinian side and israeli side that any 2 state solution could really is really likely any time soon. but on top of that, given the events of the last week and thursday with the palestinian authority severing the security coordination between israel and the palestinian authority. he'll be entity blinking rather will be likely trying to

what as you say, that has been a long standing 75 years special relationship between israel and the us. so that is absolutely no surprise to the palestinians. and i don't think they expect that to change any time. soon after his meeting with benjamin bet netanyahu blinking spoke of the enduring relationship of the us and israel. but despite that, the 2 administrations israel and the current biden administration in the u. s. don't see i to i and the u. s. are nervous, but that doesn't really make any difference to the palestinians and their view of the relationship, of course for from the palace bit palestinian perspective, they're probably just quite happy that the relationship their relationship with us is strengthening given how much it's soured under the trump administration, but all in all, you know, they didn't have huge expectations of this meeting and i think they were actually quite happy with how it went to don't use rebecca written in jerusalem. thank you for that update. at least a 100 people are confirmed dead after a suicide bombing at a mosque in the pakistani city of the

the middle east is the usaa israel. acute iran of stirring up trouble around the world. despite the drone attack on an iranian military facility that some media outlets accused us on israel conducting on the program. all he has with the palestinian health minister and an exclusive interview during which she accused israel of killing innocent people in the national committee is that fuses, especially at this moment. that is a new government that is existing and it's new policies. a lot of me with good to have your company straight into a busy hour here at all to international. let's get straight into your top stories . now. the russian defense ministry says at the, the village of black dot noise in the don't get script public is coming to russian control. now this location is apparently, it's a very important, strategically speaking, it's very close to the city of a lot of trouble. schools are known as bach mood, but that has a currently being very intense fighting. let's cross live now. it's while corresponded, remaining embedded in the region roman culture ref. hi, roman. i understand it may be tough for you to hear me right now, but as i understand, this is a

the us secretary of state says israel must resolve the conflict with the palestinians. rimental to israel's long—term security and its long—term identity as a jewish and democratic state. also in the programme... the kremlin rejects claims by borisjohnson that president putin threatened him with a missile strike before russia's invasion of ukraine. and north korean weaponds and russian mercenaries, we look at the lengths moscow is going — to supply troops on the battlefield. the former prime minister, borisjohnson, has told the bbc that vladimir putin personally threatened him in the run—up to russia's invasion of ukraine.he described how the russian president informed him that it would "only take a minute" to hurt him with a missile. a kremlin spokesman has dismissed mrjohnson's claim, calling it a "lie". more from our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. kyiv, last february — a city living in fear of invasion. borisjohnson arrived to show support for a clean—shaven president yet to don the green garb of war. shoulder to shoulder with his ally, the former prime mini

so robert, reminder of our top use stories. israel has been accused of carrying out collective punishment after announcing a series of strict security measures against palestinians. the god linton valdez planning responds to attacks against israelis and occupied east jerusalem. you are a secretary of state anthony blank and essential to arrive in jerusalem on monday morning after his brief visit to egypt on sunday. it's his 1st trip since benjamin netanyahu is right tween coalition government took office. lincoln is due to also meet palestinian officials in the occupied west bank. roaches. these agencies reporting us officials saying that israel may have been behind saturdays, driving attack, and iran. the strike hit a military building near the city of this fall. or on said at least one drive was shot down on the explosion caused mine to damage. seen this cowardly attack was carried out against us, our security body so powerfully acting to ensure maximum national security and such moves can't impact on nuclear. scientists will add intention to achieve peaceful nuclear energy, identify th

israel. neither is peace is given for us. so the tuition is really hard. are people going to continue building such aggression and looking for the international law to, to, to be abided by israel, especially that we feel that does not interference by the, by the international committee. we know that they are looking for or green and what's going in oakland, but we shouldn't be forgotten as palestinians who are suffering under very brutal aggression occupation and other very alarming issue and detainees last month died of lung cancer after 2 decades in an israeli pre raising concerns of many of palestinians and israeli detention facilities. is this a unique case or is it rather wide? it's not unique. so unique case. the other cases, 2 cases in 2019 as for example, 10 minutes and not set up with me. it was, my friend is he's, he was in the, in the, in the prison as political prisoner than he was released with, with, with the is pushing agreement with other colleagues prisoners than he was written, re listed again. and since he started with his sickness, we kn

, it's hard to say if it has really infected or impacted effected the relationship between the us and israel. the earthen is earl, our friends, their allies. and you know, whatever government is in charge or it power in power in israel, the u. s. will. and this administration at least, will try to make it work. and that's what mr. blanket doesn't. this is the explanation for his trip. he's trying to make it work keyword. here is the escalation at the moment for mr. blink. and that's his main effort. as he said today to okay, after jerusalem blinking is scheduled to hold talks in ramallah, what is the biden administration hoping to achieve with this visit? i think by the ministration has a very low target, low hanging target. he again, in the media terms, it's de escalation are with the last days of violence. they are deadly violence in the, in the region on the usaa and this lincoln visit in israel as well as where the palestinians is really aimed to de escalate. to bring both sides to take the heat off the boiler here a little bit or the whole situation of the boiler, if you will. a long te

israel, which is the perpetrator. in this case it's, it's reported that, that us officials have suggested that it was israel. and hadn't had said that it was not the us. so that's where we are said that the shadow where it is always probably on to the surface said. and i think everyone spurious i with turn into a massive human escalade into it, into a proper war. but i don't think iran will, will escalate simply because of what no casualties and no major damage. right. and as we know is really officials rarely acknowledge operations carried out by the country. and in this case, as you were just saying, u. s. media is quoting a government official saying that israel was behind this attack. if indeed it was as real. what is the message that the israelis are sending out it's, it's a message that israel, if it was indeed as read, that it regularly sends to iran, which is your weapons. manufacturing is not say any particular your nuclear weapons or nuclear program is not safe. of course, it is always disputed whether iran has a nuclear weapons program or it's merely a civilian nuclear program. a nevertheless, that

us. israel should have the overriding security responsibility because every time we moved out, say from lebanonsically iran came in with its hez boll la, we moved out of gaza and other radical islamists the hamas took over. if we talk away, as people suggest, then you'll have hamas and iran move into the hills around jerusalem over looking tel aviv. i think there's a formula for peace, but my view is because of the fact that the continue yum, the persistent palestinian refusal goes back a century, to recognize jewish state, a nation state for the jewish people, that persistent refusal persists. if we wait for them, we're not going to have peace. people said you have to work your way outside in. inside out. i think realistically it has to be the other way around. if we make peace with saudi arabia, depends on the saudi leadership. and bring effectively the air rack, israeli conflict to an end, i think we'll circle back to the palestinians and get a workable peace with the palestinians. i think that's possible. i think that's the way to go. >> all right. we have just lost the signal with our jake

us. we undertook some grand projects with them. back in the 1950s, israel had made overtures to the shaw, isolated in an arab world that refused to acknowledge its existence. the hebrew state was looking for non arab partners a little further appealed in the middle east. iran persian pro western, built on a different kind of islam to the other arab countries, stood out as a natural ally and she to full i a, b. c. it's hard to imagine now us, but it was a very close knit collaboration in cbs. chill only did it look to see that has the most advanced take washington to had chosen to make iran, the cornerstone of its influence and the retail comes in. so the high degree of military cooperation was designed to keep terran in the western camp. also this was the time of the cold war, of course, and the iran was a major arena of soviet competition. so yes, and as i was close to america because he felt that he needed the american support in confronting the ussr and maintaining his government in power for both tel aviv and washington iran under the shaw was an invalu

the situation it's the other way around is that israel is occupying us, we're not occupying israel. and because israel's occupying us, we have a right both to defend ourselves as well as a right to resist. if israel doesn't want to see any of that, they simply have to end their military occupation. the problem has been that is what wants to have a quiet occupation. and we haven't seen anywhere in history that there's ever been such a thing as a quiet occupation. they want quiet, it means that they have to end their military rule and lap hausteen's women, freedom. but some might say that israel actually welcomes this escalation and violence. absolutely, this is exactly what is real was. this is why they're the ones who are going into these refugee camps and killing palestinians. again, it's not the other way around. israel has been the one has been using it's, it's leverage, it's support, it's the magic sports economic support. it's military might to, to effectively go into and try to level a refugee you think about that. and so of course, israel wants to violence. if they didn't, th
