the use of the roads this will cost of the north of the west bank from the middle and the south. major european countries including france germany italy spain and the united kingdom of issued a rare joint statement warning of the consequences of demolishing han arkham are they say that its strategic location is important to maintaining the continuity of a future palestinian state because what activists fear is that once this village has been demolished then israel will extend this small illegal settlement behind me to join with another illegal settlement on once the two are together that effectively cut soft east jerusalem from the rest of the occupied west bank. a suicide bomber has attacked a large crowd of protesters in afghanistan at least thirty two people were killed and dozens of others injured in the blast near the eastern city of jalalabad that gathered to show their anger against a local police commander nangarhar province is one of ghana's sons most volatile regions ethiopia and eritrea say they will pull back their soldiers stationed at their disputed border in order

and i did not allow of course any of those hamas members from gaza to travel to the west bank so israel of course played a hugely destructive role here because they were not happy with the results of the elections they did not want to have mass to win the elections even though everyone said we will respect the will of the palestinian people but would have asked when their actions everyone turned their back on it and some of course incited against it and here. we are today and yet i would say that mahmoud abbas will probably need to sit down with him us before he sits down with the israelis he needs to appeal to hamas and find a way forward before he appeals to the united nations and to the american administrations unfortunately he has not done that maybe he's getting to all maybe he's getting too cynical maybe he knows a bit too well i'm not sure but certainly without uniting i think the palestinian cause is definitely on its way to death well the trump administration as you know is accused by some or by many of being impulsive but when it comes to the palestinian question do you

plea to israel asking it to not go ahead with the demolition of a bedouin village in the occupied west bank the plan to destroy. two hundred people live has drawn international criticism palestinian activists a whole and a certain to try and save the village but as smith reports. it is a last supper of sorts for kanakas residents who along with activists and supporters are waiting out the hours days weeks no one knows how long before the israeli authorities send in the bulldozers safin the feeling is indescribable the uncertainty the instability the threats of the occupation the fear of the children and the woman the situation in this community is miserable you know. it's very painful what could be vosa losing your life and it's very difficult you may see this land as a desert but for us bedouin it's like. they destroy the eye they live a blight on our land. the almost ten year long legal battle to save has drawn support from across the world and closer to home competence for peace is an israeli palestinian group that feels increasingly isolated in this country to me. i think the situation

that politically the un and the international community have let down the people of gaza and the west bank and palestinians in jordan and syria and in lebanon appallingly. is the result of political failure we are here doing what we're doing because the political echelon of failed to resolve the problem that the refugees have to fail. or the underlying problem the blockade the occupation the dispossession office seventy of the palestinian these things have to be addressed i think that at the heart of that and that gets the heart of the dilemma that mohamed was pointing to that under a provide humanitarian assistance which not a political or. i'd like to mention a point putting them that way since we're speaking numbers it's a true that the us has been the largest on off during the past few years for the for the world but it's also important to put that into the bigger picture of the us foreign aid budget is one percent of the federal budget which is around to fifty billion dollars the foreign budget that goes all over the world what goes to the owner what is only three hundred sixty millio

protests have been taking place in the occupied west bank against the us decision to end its funding for under a war the un agency which helps palestinians is seen as a vital lifeline in the region protesters also put on a show of solidarity for palestinian president mahmoud abbas before his speech at the un general assembly on thursday imran khan is that the jalazone refugee camp in the occupied west bank. well these people might get what's. making is very loud in the message is played dignity is priceless what i say is that the u.s. decision relief on those on the up programs that allow schools like this one in jos and refugee camps to function these people during their school doesn't have a lot of funding to take them to in the form of little money and full of the garden that the school will have to shut down and it's the case one of the schools like this is the most of the west bank where they should. be going to come from now on the role the u.n. relief works agency has to refugees is trying to look a lot of the donors will try to make up the shortfall. there hasn't been able to

well this is the jelas own refugee camp just outside ramallah in the occupied west bank it's in places like this where the impact of this u.s. decision will be felt most keenly already the united states this year only handed over sixty million dollars of its pledge three hundred sixty five million dollars contribution to the agency that sooner or have to look for extra money elsewhere from other donor countries or get donor countries to advance existing commitments that is something which has up until now still left it with a shortfall it says of more than two hundred million us dollars but as far as the palestinian leadership is concerned this is part of the political assault against the p.a. against the p.l.o. by the united states very much aligning itself with hardliners on the israeli side this is what the secretary general of the p.l.o. side erekat had to say to us a little earlier today i think the decisions of the american recession there have been as jerusalem as its capital and integrate the sources of support to our work and to is consider settlements legal as friedman specif

it provides services to about five million palestinian refugees in jordan lebanon syria the west bank and gaza the u.s. has been the agency's largest donor and a spokesperson for the palestine president called the move an assault against his people germany has pledged to increase funding in response. well for more on this let's bring in our correspondent tanya kramer who is in jerusalem tania what impact can we expect this cost of funding to have on the palestinian refugees who receive support from the u.n. agency. as you said the u.s. has been the single largest donor to in the past decade or so so and they already had announced back in january of this year that they will withhold funds and then reassess their commitment to the agency now this new announcement of course will send the agency into more financial uncertainty has been calling other countries to step in and as we heard germany has said on friday that they are prepared to give more support to the agency also calling on other use states to do the same it's a question whether this will be enough to fill the large scout now y
