no, but it is the west bank we are talking about, you need the israeli security cooperation in the wests, fatah, on top in the west bank, israel is your ally in that? no, no that's not true. we don't want tojump in the air at this point in time, we don't want to be maximalist at this point in time, we want to make sure that while we retain position and keep our achievements, national achievements, we also look to move forward. therefore, we will choose, the president will choose the right moment to end, not only security cooperation, but economic cooperation and reformulate our relationship with israel as occupying power. well, i want to talk economy just briefly, if i may? you say, yes, we will and security and economic cooperation with israel. i would put it to you, you can't afford to. first of all, you need the israelis to hand over the customs and the border revenues that come to you through the israelis. and if you lose those, you are in even worse economic circumstances than you are in right now. also, the tens of thousands of palestinians who either work inside israel, on the ot

so any retreat from the west bank or allowing the palestinian to have their own state in the west bank is the fulfillment of zionism trk is not the neglectation of zionism. i would suggest the settlements in the west bank are the neglectation of zionism. >> the region is changing in a way much different from the status quo that existed for most of my adult life up until now. you basically have a hundred year order in the region collapsing before our eyes. you have failed states left and right. you have borders being erased. you have massive refugee flows that we haven't seen at any time since the fall of the ottoman empire and possibly the end of world war ii. at any given day you have no idea what government is being to be in power in many of these arab countries, like even jordan. >> right. >> how does that reality drive the exact debate you two are having right now, stafort with you, dan. >> i don't actually think it drives it that much. i think that reality drives israel's concern about iran. i think that reality drives israel's concern about watching its northern border very caref

who stabbed him to death did not come from this arab neighborhood, he came from somewhere in the west bankr from the east bank. but the fact that he was stabbed by an arab or the people who live here, they couldn't care less if the arab is yellow, green, comes from africa. for them an arab is an arab. in september 2000 the palestinians started to shoot through the jewish neighborhoods, and the authorities had to protect the kindergarten over here, and they put up this wall put up by the neighborhood council. but nevertheless, it's quite ugly. but if they shoot from the other side toward the kindergarten, what other measure you can take in order to protect the children? >> before returning home we went to visit a palestinian farmer whose life was devastated when half of his land was taken by the israeli army to accommodate the bending of the wall. -- the building of the wall. >> the majority of his land and the better part of his land is beyond that fence. all these walls he built by breaking this sporn land with his wife and his children and all his hard work is gone. he cannot go down and

they mentioned to me areas you see in the west bank areas see like 80% of the west bank. they feel like they don't have access to it. they're forbidden from drilling for water, minerals. my advise would be to meet with palestinian businessmen, listen -- and women, listen to them, and say, gosh, if it this is a way we can lessen tension and hostility between the groups, why don't we see if there's a way that palestinians can make more money. there's all kinds of thing that are not the ultimate in final agreement that is elusive that we can do. i want to know that you're open minded to saying, we're less likely to have war the more we trade, and have interaction. are you open minded enough to hear the other side from the palestinians on what we can do to enhance and lessen hostility? >> i would be excited to have those discussions. >> all right. i think some of that could be done here. there is some of that here between the different parties, some of that can be done over there, i think it's important that you project to them that you are open minded on these things because

we begin in israel where the government has approved the building of a new settlement in occupied west bankthis is the first such official sanctioning in more than 20 years. the new settlement was given unanimous backing on thursday. let's cross to giordano miller, who joins us now. walk us through -- what is this announcement we saw? dano: basically, the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, convened his cabinet last night, and they confirmed they will set up this new jewish settlement in the west bank. the prime minister had promised to set up the settlement, from the illegal hilltop outposts, called the mona. whatis interesting here is is going on with the united states because netanyahu has been in marathon talks with the white house about what to do with settlement activity. they had not come to an agreement yet, yet netanyahu move forward, announcing the settlement. basically, he refused to renig on the project, and on the same day, announcing that israel will limit settlement activity across the west bank, before there was an agreement with the white house. the white house is b

of the west bank.e know where that leads. that will lead to a binational state, not a jewish state. and yet they are determined to press on. they have the prime minister of israel politically, and there is a great danger that in this permissive environment, they will achieve their objectives. i think that really underscores the need to do everything we can to, first of all, see clearly what the agenda is here, and called him on it at every step of the way. >> martin, a quick follow-up. because of your experience, what does it mean to have an american ambassador to israel who will be to the right of the israeli prime minister? >> look, one shouldn't exaggerate the influence of the ambassador. [laughter] he's going to be in jerusalem. he's not going to be in washington. he's not going to be in the white house. he has his channel, of course, but his ability to actually influence policy when his job is to implement policy shouldn't be exaggerated. if we fixate on ambassador designate treatment instead of f

why do israelis choose to settle in the west bank? there are three main reasons. one, religion.s jews point to the bible, which says the land was promised to them by god. two, security. some israelis think settlements act as a defense against the -- occurrede when in 1948 when arab countries invaded israel. three, affordability. others like the high standard of living made possible by government subsidies in the settlements. but according to international courts of justice, israeli settlements breach national law. here is the argument. barriers, buffer zones, and israeli soldiers to secure settlers make life difficult for palestinians. both palestinians and some israelis argue that settlements play into a bigger problem. they prevent peace by eating up and dividing the land. any peace agreement would likely hinge on israel taking on the tough task of removing tens of thousands of settlers from the west bank. israel has removed settlers as it withdrew from occupied territory in the past, but those were smaller numbers. >> even if every single settlement were dismantled tomorrow,

but we start in the west bank,where the long conflict between israeli settlers andpalestinians is again headed for boiling point.the united nations' plan for the partition of palestine datesback 70 years. the state of israel wasenvisioned as a homeland for jewish people who had survivedthe horrors of the holocaust. but hopes for peace were quicklydashed, as violence broke out between israelis andpalestinians. the conflict has raged on fordecades, fuelled by israel's continued settlement expansionin the occupied palestinian territories.there are now around 200 israeli settlements with some 600,000inhabitants there. the un considers them illegalunder international law. but construction work continues.>>ma'ale adumim, situated on a plateau 7 kilometers east ofjerusalem, is the largest israeli settlement in the westbank. the new us administration couldhave a big impact on what happens here in the future.at present, it has 40,000 residents.but in the next 10 years, an additional 40,000 settlers willmove to ma'ale adumim. that's according to the mayorand his staff. benny kashriel was at trump

[inaudible] that is what it felt like to apply the same values to israel and its challenges that i applied to all every aspect of my life. as i see this political awakening and this surgeon activism in jewish in communities across the country, i know they too can apply their value to the struggle for peace. they don't need to check them at the door. the alternative will not work. we can't sweep the israeli-palestinian conflict under the rug or say it's a shame we had to be there when our neighbors hold up a sign about palestinian rights. we know better. we know just as so much of the trump administration does is unacceptable, 50 years of occupation and conflict is also unacceptable.

i don't know who would conrole the west bank if there were elections tomorrow.on't have a good answer to making peace with an entity controlled by hamas. i do believe that the future needs to begin with greater efforts to empower to some, tent to create a palestinian middle-class. >> gaza is ungovernable. it has a 30% or higher unemployment rate. until that changes, i don't think that we will be able to uproot hamas from the gaza strip. so i am, and my approach has been and if asked by the president, i'm not here to make policy, but if asked by the president, i would recommend deepening the efforts with our allies in the gulf and israeli's neighbors to work harder to em pow er the economic opportunities for the palestinian people who i believe are being held hostage by a ruthless regime. >> i a appreciate that and the observation seems to be very legitimate in that the gaza strip and the west bank seem like worlds apart as far as economic opportunity and for that matter as far as culture. gangs, i don't know how you get those, and bring those two together to get
