which he feared to the right from a sing to an extent legal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank and convinced his voters that his premiership was in mortal danger. but he actually i was leading the c.g. tell a b.b.c. ready to leave the political stage it is he says is one of the cynics it's in. each action to get you to be correct ceases to the high and you feel this election very very high value fifty six one thousand about what you should offer to carry it out here saluting well in a moment we'll get the palestinian reaction with nita abraham in ramallah for us but first we go to stephanie deca in west journals then stephanie no final results yet but we have a clearer picture than last night's. absolutely well last night you had two men both declaring victory and saying they're going to lead this country but there is only space for one prime minister and it seems to be once again for the fifth time benjamin netanyahu and that's because it all comes down to numbers fall it doesn't really matter that they are head to head it doesn't even matter if one of or the other had more se

policy on the west bank as polls were closising in israraen tuesday.e was questioned in the senate by democratic senator chris van hollen. >> is it still a policy of the united states to oppose israel's unilateral annexation of any or all of the west bank? >> here is what i i can sayay. i will give the same answer i gave the senator. we are in the process of laying down our vision for how to resolve the problem -- >> esther secretary, i asked about unilateral annexation. that by itself indicates no agreement. with the palestinians. it soundstion is, like you have already abandoned what has been a bipartisan foreign-policy of opposing the annexation of any or part of the west bank by israel. is that what you're t telling u? >> i think was senator durbin who critiqued our situation on the golan were you would characterize that. >> i'm not asking about that right now. i'm asking you about the west bank. >> and i'm telling you you will see our proposal. >> thehe polls a are closing rit now. right now. in israel. and things could move very quickly. as you k

recent election now mr i want not to now host said he would push for israel is sovereignty over the west bank settlements and i'm quoting i will make sure we control the territory west of jordan was it just talk to score some political points or do you see that actually happening any time soon no actually i don't see it happening you know this was during the campaign rhetoric so i don't think that israel would do anything before we see the trump and in any case it will be in coordination as much as possible with the international community so what an extreme case would you see full antics a shot of west bank as a possibility a one state solution where they will rights and full citizenship for both palestinians and israelis living there. no i don't see. an explanation of. area a you know to remember the palestinians already ok by forty percent of the west bank with ninety five percent of the population which is already there and we are not there it's so so they run their own affairs so patient it's not exactly what people think but at the end of the day i do not think that anybody in israel is

they now crisscross west bank like spider blanket how can there be a palestinian independent state when it would be covered with and clubs of israel. well first of all again i think we must think out of the box you know that eighty percent of all the jewish communities in the west bank or jordan some area in their historic name are on eight percent of the area indeed there are some other what we call you know outside of the major jewish blocs outside of the eight percent of the land but we can think of a future or a solution whereby those settlements would stay there even under some kind of palestinian sovereignty you know that in israel itself in israel. we have twenty percent of our civilians are non jews there are arabs and they voted in the mess that they have representatives they are judges all over so if we have arabs inside israel why would the palestinians reject anybody who is not palestinian it's not you know we're not talking about hope ethnic cleansing. and the palestinians so far they wanted ethnic cleansing of course this is something that nobody can accept so i'm say

we are talking about effectively 2% of the west bank area where jews live. effectively 2% of the west, we do not know. for rather a long time, that by trump, we do not know. for rather a longtime, the palestinian authority has refused to discuss with the white house what they would like. they have said no. the palestinians are possibly the only national independence party that have said no to their own state. jonathan, if you can stop there. i wa nt to jonathan, if you can stop there. i want to hear that what the palestinian responses and what the arab world responses to the of the election of benjamin netanyahu. first, this nation state law, it is written and it is they are and it is documented. we are not going to argue that. second thing, benjamin netanyahu is going to annex the west bank. what it means four major areas of the west bank which is... it means that the death of the two state system. there would not be any state system. there would not be any state for the palestinian. it is recognised this solution. benjamin netanyahu is recognised this solution. benjamin neta nyahu i

and he is looking into expanding the israeli sovereignty over the west bank settlements now this is a move that the seen in more empowered by having the u.s. president donald trump in power i've spoken earlier to the p.l.o. committee member at hand and ashrawi and this is what she had to say i think the whole goals of the game are changing because now this clearly superimposing the date of all of historical palestine. and therefore they have totally cancelled and the agreements they have not only fight the two state solution they have totally gaited requirements of peace they have totally violated international law and so on so now we need a whole new strategy to deal with this. palestinians in the streets which we've spoken to before that exults came out say it doesn't really matter who leads the israeli government they believe that they mean to convey that contenders did not have the palestinian issue as a big part of their campaign they did not say how they're going to go forward with the peace process instead they were talking more about what much they can take out from the p

first, we have to reunite the west bank and gaza. to make one front against israel , and to make a clear statement of what the palestinians want. that would not put pressure on but that would make the trump plans evaporate in the wind. and he's probably going back to gantz, probably the difference between them is this. i think hamas wanted netanyahu to win the election. there's an implicit way of regulating the relation between gaza and netanyahu. putink gantz would have more effort into speaking and giving more credibility, undermining hamas. i think we could have witnessed a different attitude between the two. gerry: i think you are absolutely right on the saudi's. seenertainly what we've not only from saudi arabia but the uae and elsewhere is astrates that there strong popular support in the suspect that and i will limit the degree to which any of the gulf states is strategyo accept a that denies palestinian rights. king salman on has been very has beenking salman blunt, and he knows the palestinians from decades of experience. it

if israel decides to annex part of the west bank, the more those chunks of the west bank, the bigger chunks that are annexed to israel, this would threaten the possibility of the p.a. to claim that they are negotiating for a two-state solution. and then israel and palestine becoming one geopolitical unit, and probably the time will be to argue and to claim for equal rights in one state. that would be a different state from israel, as we know it now. but we are not there get. but we are in that direction, definitely. now, why i think there is not enough power in israel for dismantling settlements. if you take government, most promising in terms of the peace process, he had a partner, oliver. he has an international support by the u.s., by europe. and at the peak of events after the massacre in lahil. even at that peak point, where clear political support for rabin, locally and international, even within the public opinion, if at that point he wasn't able to evacuate settlers from hebron, then you can ask yourself, then when? i mean, if that golden moment -- we missed that moment. then

his statement talked about annexing jewish settlements in the west bank.ght hope he could take the settlements without taking the palestinian population that lives around the settlements. even if he just annexes the settlements, effectively that would kill off any hope of a two state solution and would be met with a great deal of palestinian resistance and would probably lead the palestinian authority to cease all cooperation with israel, particularly its security cooperation. it could have serious repercussions, even if it is just an annexation of jewish settlements and not as some of its coalition partners might like, an annexation of the west bank itself. kevin: president trump was in las vegas over the weekend speaking to a jewish audience and talking about the importance of the u.s.-israeli alliance. what role has the president played on the election in israel ? he came out with a glowing political endorsement for prime minister netanyahu. dov: he has been at the head of the reelect bibi campaign in the united states. in particular, his recent endorse

who stabbed him to death did not come from this arab neighborhood, he came from somewhere in the west bankfrom 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 t

take netanyahu's proposal to annex parts of the west bank.t has been going on for 50 , literally. right after the 1967 war, both political parties, both major groupings in israel, former ,abor based parties conglomerate, they have slightly different policies but essentially, they have been carrying out a development program in the west bank which is geared towards the very clear goal of creating what would be a kind of greater israel in which israel will take over whatever is of value in the west bank, populationalestinian concentrations, leave them isolated. and the rest of the region, maybe 150 or so little more orian enclaves, less surrounded by checkpoints, often separated from their fields, able to survive but barely. meanwhile, the jewish settlements are developed, cities have been constructed, major city constructed mostly under clinton incidentally, under the clinton years east of essentially the road by six it from the west bank from the ones of north. jerusalem itself is maybe five times the size of whatever it was historically. all

it issues inside the west bank contrary to the letter of this ignition by the president i think the main mission of this government is to absorb the growing pressure against for to the authority from the public and second to try to bridge the gap between the public authority by trying to improve the services of the to improve the performance of the government public employees have been half pete for two months now israel is with holding some of the taxes that collects for the palestinian authority and u.s. aid has been cut off. this is a government that is inheriting a deep financial crisis and an empowered right wing leadership in israel third wyvill is a word we've been hearing from officials and analysts believe that people can handle the pressure but it's not clear for how long their aim. but among the indians of marks the hundredth anniversary of a massacre committed by british soldiers during colonial rule it happened in the northern city of amritsar where british troops opened fire on civilians gathered for a pro independence rally the british high commissioner to india was among

in which he via to the right from a sing to an extent legal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank and convinced his voters fit his premiership was in mortal danger. but exactly was leaving the stage telling me that he's ready to leave the political it is. one of the cynics it's a. rejection against the rocks pieces that are high in. this election very very valuable one as in about four years ago. was it out a little. and we're covering the story from all angles in a few moments will speak to what a comedian west jerusalem first let's get us reaction from kimberly helka who joins us here on the news from our bureau in washington kimberly as far as mr trump is concerned is this pretty much what looks like it will be the results he absolutely would want. absolutely and we've been seeing these signs for a few weeks now there's no question that donald trump and benjamin netanyahu have made it very public that they are firm supporters of one another we saw that recent weeks when we saw the israeli prime minister here in washington appearing in the oval office it was a carefully orchestr

he's talking about a partial an extension of the west bank music to the ears of right wing voters and netanyahu is coalition partners the opposition calls the pledge irresponsible they say netanyahu is desperate he's been dogged by scandals and accusations of corruption and now on security the most important issue in israel netanyahu is facing stiff competition. benny gantz a former army chief of staff has a chance of replacing him as prime minister. maybe the citizens of israel will have a prime minister who cares about their interests. not his own personal business. but in the name. clean handed yet tough on security that's how cancer presents himself and people listening. to him really need to change for a new future for israel. and the polls predict a close result and i'm joined now by correspondent correspondent benjamin hammer in tel aviv so this is a neck and neck race as we've heard how does mr netanyahu announcement influence the campaign over all. well one thing is for sure this is raising the tension in an already tense situation and almost everybody in israel agrees that t

days of the campaign netanyahu endorsed the annexation of all israeli settlements in the occupied west bank palestinian politicians fear it's more than an election ploy rather a consequential political shift just weeks ahead of the planned publication of the . administration's peace plan i think that the whole goals of the game are changing because now this clearly superimposing the data on all of historical palestine. and therefore they have totally cancelled any agreements they have nullified the two state solution they have totally gated that requirements of peace they have totally violated international law and so on so now we need a hole in your strategy to deal with this. netanyahu stands to make history twice over within months becoming israel's longest serving prime minister and potentially exposed to serve under the stain of indictment all his opponents talk of its being time for change enough israelis have decided that what they really want is more of the same very force it al-jazeera west jerusalem or the bellamy it has the latest now from west jerusalem. concede defeat but also

a clear affront here to the palestinians who see the west bank as the heartland of a future palestiniante and that move prompting the strong reaction of candidate beto o'rourke a short time ago. >> the u.s./israel relationship is one of the most important relationships that we have on the planet. and that relationship if it is to be successful must transcend partisanship in the united states and must be able to transcend a prime minister who is racist as he warns about arabs coming to the polls, who wants to defy a prospect or peace by annexing the west bank. >> joining us is daniel shapiro who's in tel aviv and usaf munanr. i'll start with you, daniel, on this. if, and the polls, at least the last one that came out before the election on tuesday, shows it is pretty close here. what happens if benjamin netanyahu and his moparty moves forward again and he's prime minister again and the annexation he promised? >> this is new for netanyahu, who while he's never been a strong add kate of a resisted more extreme members of his own party and his coalition who have advocated annexation of the
