in thelion palestinians west bank are getting nothing.n that, the israelis dish israel ordered the guard to get the vaccine and probably did criminals, but the palestinians, 5000 prisoners, getting nothing. ?hat can be more clear here this confirms this is discrimination. we speak to the authority responsible, first of all, the authority approached asking at least for vaccines for us, the health care providers, who are being infected around the clock and israel refused. the palestinian authorities in charged only 30% of the west is --62% of the west bank israel is doing nothing for palestinians there. if the palestinian authority tries to import a vaccine from dylan israel does not allow it. israel controls the border, the import and export. in the biggest disaster is in gaza. in gaza, you have 2.1 million lacking health facilities, lacking [indiscernible] they're not getting any vaccines. fromre refugees displaced their land.

number one the israelis always claim that gaza runs itself they are not on the ground as in the west bank you know it is a sovereign territory where you don't just send tanks into a sovereign territory that's point $1.00 it highlights it for me yet again that there is a border area on the gaza site that gazans are not supposed to go into you know and that makes gaza even smaller than it is and that is of serious concern and number 3 and perhaps the most important point the miss some of this border area including where the tanks went in is actually actually some of the most fertile agricultural land and so the people that get most affected by this are the small scale agriculturalists that produce the food for gaza and that that is just not acceptable and i am not aware of a credible military or political reason for doing this. well arguably the world doesn't know about what you're talking about it certainly wasn't much reported in the apparent scores of people dying in syria in the past few days from israeli airstrikes let alone the ones in iraq when if donald trump is watching from florid

when you last visited israel, you became the first secretary of state visit the -- to visit the west bankritories occupied by settlements and to visit the golan heights. was that a conscious statement to visit the areas where the previous secretaries of state had not been willing, and what was the purpose of your visit in terms of sending a signal by visiting those sites? sec. pompeo: not just the visit, david, but everything the administration has done has been very clear. not just signals. we have communicated directly with the palestinians about the fact that they need to stop the model that they have adopted, which is that no deal is good enough for them. in the end, the president laid down a vision for peace, and the vision for peace included a really, really, really good outcome for the people who live in the west bank. they rejected that. they rejected the willingness to start a conversation about a conversation about this. that's unacceptable. what we've done, whether that was my trip to golan heights are the abraham accords, we have said, we are going to recognize what the realit

law says that you in israel, as the military occupiers of millions of palestinian people in the west bankre not on the ground in gaza, you have a legal obligation under the geneva conventions to ensure that they get protected from coronavirus, with the vaccine. just as it becomes available in israel, it should be made available to those palestinians living under your occupation as well. why do you flout that international law? well, we can go into long and interesting discussions, stephen, about using the word "occupation" in this sense, but i have to say now... we can't really. not under international law, we can't, because it is quite clear that you still occupy, with your military, the west bank. it's quite clear. it's very nice to talk to an expert because i heard you hesitating about the gaza strip. and i think to myself each time, "what else can we do "not to be called occupants in gaza "when there is not a singlejew there since...2005." that really isn't the point. that really isn't the point, given that you control all access in and out. you control the land, the sea, the air acce

the medical teams old residents patients until the vaccine is 70 percent of the residents in the west bank gaza and jerusalem was the one the prospect of the arrival of the vaccine has been welcomed by the some reservations. had being recorded i know knock it off we want all of us to take it to feel psychologically at ease because we aren't a constant state of maury but they want to bring the russian magazine and we do not have much faith in the russian mixing. at the end i hope we look at the appropriate vaccine and we will be done with this crisis because it has affected all the sectors in this country. because of the little blood but they will have other options the palestinians have also signed up to the kovacs program in partnership with the world health organization it aims to hope no income countries to get a fair share of vaccines for around 20 percent of their population. gerald rock'n child heads the world health organization the office for the palestinian territories and he joins me now from jerusalem. how dire is the situation in the palestinian territories at the moment. if yo

least 16 palestinians have been injured in a protest against israeli settlements in the occupied west bank israeli troops fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters in a village near ramallah and for his days of escalating tension after settlers that up dozens of tents and outposts in the area the u.s. senate still live in a significant defeat to president donald trump in voting to override his veto of a defense policy. bill the senate which is controlled by trump's republican party easily reached the required 2 thirds majority trump earlier refused to sign that defense act into law it limited the president's ability to draw troops from places like afghanistan and also the ability to divert military funds the ones trying wanted to build a border war with mexico post brags that freight traffic during the u.k. and france and so far move pretty smoothly despite earlier concerns about potential backlogs the 1st ferry from britain to dock in the french quarter tally several hours after the u.k. officially left the e.u. customs union and serious delays reported. but as

number one the israelis always claim that gaza runs itself they are not on the ground as in the west bank you know it is a sovereign territory where you don't just send tanks into a sovereign territory that's point 1.2 it highlights it for me yet again that there is a border area on the gaza site that gazans are not supposed to go into you know and that makes gaza even smaller than it is and that is of serious concern and number 3 and perhaps the most important point.

serious is this split, that we have, that palestinians have had to endure since 2007, between the west bankority and abbas�*s fatah party — at least in the 38% of the west bank that the palestinian authority controls — and the gaza strip is controlled by fatah's main rival, hamas. and that division essentially has paralysed palestinian institutions and politics for most of the last 1a 01’ so years. those are long—term issues and problems. it seems a really tight timetable, given the fact as well we are in a global pandemic. it seems an ambitious idea. yes, i think it is very ambitious to imagine that after 15 years with no elections that all of the logistical preparations — that candidates and parties will have sufficient time to organise and to campaign — it is a tall order. in addition to the fact that the palestinians have to negotiate some kind of arrangements with israel to allow palestinians in eastjerusalem to participate in these elections, as they participated in previous elections. so that will be a difficult political hurdle that no israeli leader will want to give permission for

16 palestinians have been injured in a demonstration against israeli settlements in the occupied west bank israeli troops fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters near ramallah that follows days of escalating tension up to settlers set up tents and outposts in the area last week the move was apparently not authorized by the israeli government. tenser been set up as a template shelter for about a 1000 refugees and migrants were stranded at a burnt out camp and bosnia-herzegovina the government faced criticism for failing to protect them from freezing winter weather. reports. a sign of relief and of new shelter this will be home for hundreds of migrants and refugees stranded in bosnia-herzegovina sleep a camp near its north was border with croatia back the military set up tents to shield hundreds of migrants from the winter's freezing weather after days of sleeping out in the cold the nation face mounting criticism for leaving the migrants without proper shelter heat or facilities to do it was ok we don't mind how we can adjust and we can drink of water that's eno

from the paris climate deal to trump's border wall with mexico but what about border walls in the west bank in the occupied territories what about the refugee crisis in the middle east in part 2 we're going to speak to the tenant colonel anthony schaffner a decorated u.s. intelligence official who was on the advisory board of trump 2020. but now joining me from garza is the director of operations for the united nations relief and works agency matthias surely. well apparently while everyone's been talking about the inauguration of joe biden there's been aerial bombardment of gaza by israel armed by the united kingdom the european union the united states and tanks have invaded in some going to land invasion in gaza. so yes indeed we had a couple of nights ago. but that particular incident was triggered by rockets fired from here towards israel and then there was bombarded meant heavy bombing by heavy heavy bombardment in retaliation for those strikes and that i have to say happens regularly over the last couple of weeks i think there have been 3 such nights now for me to be perfectly honest y

. >> during the first intifada in israel with the west bank i spent a great deal of time over there.988 through 1990 i would spend days and days at a time in gaza or on the west bank talking to palestinians and their life stories and then i would spend days and weeks in israel filling up brooks talking to israelis and listening to their stories. and then i came to realize i understood both of their points of view. to understand where the palestinians are coming from and was inherent in its own universe. and those universe put down in the same small place in the middle east. the caller makes my point that his point of view is consistent and understandable from his perspective and there are other points of view and a different point of you. if he studies the work with shall be steel and other black writers. and that is from black people from his own point of view. and he is intransigent on the subject just before the israelis were and then realized us essentially reconcile one - - irreconcilable. >> this is a binary country we are talking about and even to consider the possibility but
