the number of israeli settlers in the west bank is growing all the time. and the economic blockade at the gaza strip remains firmly in place. this is the daily reality of the occupation for the palestinians. at the book reading, they made it clear as long as the occupation continues the chain of hatred will never be broken. >> minoru kamata seemed hopeful after his recent visit, but he also understands the difficulties. tell us a little bit about the situation on the ground. >> even now, the progress against israeli occupation in the west bank are being held every week. and palestinians are continuing to die in clashes with israeli military that tries to put down the continuing arrest. israeli forces also detained people without a warrant and sometimes even put them prison. meanwhile, the peace process remains deadlocked, and at the present there is no sign that things will improve. >> nhk world's kohei tsuji in jerusalem. >>> south korea's president says he disputes the islands. he was speaking in fusan at a ceremony for south korea's coast guard. he ment

the thing is jerusalem is isolated from other palestinian territories palestinians from the west bank and gaza strip are not allowed to enter the city the only people who can get into a palestinians to live in the areas occupied in one hundred forty eight they can do that because they live there so it's only the people who live in jerusalem in the areas that i mentioned who can come to iraq. these are the people who protect it who coordinate action to preserve it so if these people stop going to iraq there will be no one left to protect it we are grateful to them for what they do their leisure that what do you think about israeli claims that the wall and checkpoints are there for security reasons. at israel's claims that the wall was built for security reasons have nothing to do with reality this is not true because they do not observe the nine hundred sixty seven borders they have occupied a lot of palestinian territory in addition to those that were seized in one nine hundred forty eight secondly making all people feel like prisoners is not the way to solve security issues the way t

through israel to the west bank one of the results of the arab spring has been a rise in radical islam in the middle east what kind of spillover effect do you think that israel and the palestinian authority expect i think radical islam is a consequence of suppression of people's views and wishes and radicalization happens when you don't give people their voice there is a right wing radical christianity in the united states there is different forms of radical islam across the region when it comes to elections because most of the election results and most people elected seem to be more based on the economic demands and needs of people and the role that their society will play in the future and certainly very much against the dictatorial regimes of the past i think we're seeing a pretty fascinating development in a sense it's a bit like the nineteenth forty's fifty's are about pricing against the anglo-french monopoly of relations across the whole region what we're now seeing is an uprising against these pliant dictatorships many of whom cooperated with the war on terror many of whom impr
