first, it was, israel has the right to defend itself. later it was joe biden saying that he was hopeful that a ceasefire could be reached and then just 24 hours ago, he demanded a significant de escalation within one day, really exerting pressure on both sides. and he's now also facing criticism from within his own democratic party and why he didn't act as decisively earlier. and oliver, the us said it felt the best way to get through this was through a quiet diplomacy. can you talk us through that? yeah, this is exactly what we have experienced in recent days, and this was some kind of private and diplomatic conversations. we hear that 80 phone calls have been made in the wide house talking to him on yahoo to my boss, the palestinian president exerting pressure. but that always largely limited to phone diplomacy. that was one mid level state department official sent to the region. the strategy is very clear. it was support for israel while at the same time ramping a pressure that both sides commit to a piece deal to commit to, excuse me

if israel decides that the only way to stop missiles from and rockets from being fired at israel proper is to invade gaza they will do it they've done it before. it will certainly be messy if that occurs there will certainly be civilian loss of life if that occurs but also hamas will will be punished severely should israel make that decision and the challenge that we face right now is that politics both on the israeli side and on the palestinian side may well be pushing both you know towards this conflict obviously benjamin netanyahu is hanging on for his political life and and you know he may mean he's his political narrative his entire adult life is spent fighting israel's enemies and he thinks this could perhaps change just political fortunes and we've had a situation where fatah has recently postponed a palestinian election and so you have hamas presenting itself as fighting for the palestinian cause so that it that's part of the dilemma here that that perhaps there are forces both on both sides of the border that are telling the 2 sides to his conflict that will and will not necess

welcome to the program. 2 years and 4 elections later israel is still no closer to having a government prime minister benjamin netanyahu missed a deadline to form a coalition by midnight on tuesday his opponents now have a chance to end the run of israel's longest serving leader. much of the impasse is jueteng netanyahu has legal troubles many allies say they wouldn't work with a prime minister who's on trial for corruption from western perry force it takes a look at the options to break the stalemate the time may have run out on benjamin netanyahu officially mandated period to build a coalition government but that doesn't mean he's going to stop anytime soon for all of this is like a political chess game in one respect at least it differs neither side has to stop playing just because their own personal clock has stopped ticking indeed we saw that during netanyahu is mandate when the opposition leader was doing everything it could to coax across the right wing political leader naftali bennett on to his side to change block trying to get together a coalition to oust netanyahu from power

israel is doing this and israel is doing this because the uk supports israel, because it gives israel the green light because america is giving israel the green light. the people here are living in fear. the children in particular are terrorised. the kind of missiles the israeli f—i6s use are ones that shake the whole area, even if the strike is two or three or five kilometres away. refaat, israel says that it's targeting hamas, israel says that it's retaliation for hundreds of rockets fired into israel. what do you say to that? of course israel is going to say that, and i'm sorry to say this, but the bbc itself is helping the israeli narrative. the way the reporting is being just framed, the discourse used as sectarian, the way your report has been about hate and how usually the israelis retaliate, the way israel retaliates — this is totally wrong. israel is targeting everybody, everybody of us is a target. it's not something we feel, it's not something we have in mind. you can see this in the pictures and in the videos. this is not an israeli war on hamas or hamas members. this

and hamas is factually legally and morally wrong hamas targets civilians israel targets terrorists israel israel makes every effort to avoid civilian casualties come us makes everett and forward to increase civilian casualties israel sees every civilian death as a tragedy hamas sees every israeli civilian death as a victory in its comparing of jihad based on need and place to meet its charter and every point of sr and civilian death as a victory in its campaign to gain international sympathy israel uses its mid size to protect its children come us use its children to protect its makes us mr president at the same time as we defend ourselves against hamas rockets the terror organization has been calling on israel's arab cities those that are jews. we have seen numerous appalling attacks by arab citizens of israel against jews including the arbitron burning ghosts you know gods and multiple lynchings we have also seen some appalling case those of jewish my own loans our arab citizens as prime minister netanyahu instead left night this violence is entirely unacceptable we are a country of law

what i think we have to separate between israel and the, the west bank and gaza inside israel. every citizen jew, arab christian was slim, it doesn't matter who has the right to vote, has full democratic, right? you know, we've, as you know, we've had 4 elections in the 1000000 in the west bank, gaza, nice to meet someone who don't. we don't have the live on the israeli, the patients. but the palestinians in the west bank and gaza all have autonomy and have their own elections for their own leadership. the fact the leadership haven't held election in 15 years is not an issue that is where i have to deal with. that's an issue for the palestinian leadership, the palestinians and the world. and the palestinians offered to me on it. and i step of the process on the lower courts. they got that also me and they got that process. the fact they haven't had an election in 15 years surely can't be blamed. not actually about that rights to take part in us, the latest human rights report, but then i part of it but tempered with him. but today they are the only thing that kind of thing you

israel is a statement look like mainly because in the middle east. they appealed to the supreme court and the supreme court really make a decision i don't know where and i'm not working because the city and of to call and he'll then we have very little if the decision of the supreme court will be that we should let the palestinians to continue to believe in these hours as the real decision of the supreme court to review the effort to leave the baby because it belongs to our other people who apply protocol they will have to leave it's a little peace deal between the 2 groups why are you saying it's mine and the other one saying well my name and bulls appealed to the call and then it will be decided by the court if there is a state in which when the court made a decision and you never know who for the call made to make the decision what the big. bet will be obeyed by at least by the authorities in israel no question about it i don't know and it's very much depends what will happen in the in the court i must say that one remark about the issue or therma

there's a new generation of leaders in israel. and that new generation of leaders just i ming has been empowered over the past 4 years by that time and mr these are the minions of jetted krishna and bastard that david friedman and jason green brought the special and why i opposed them from these radical zionists these fanatic ultra orthodox i have then connections in the israeli settlements in the israeli radical right they're the ones who supported them they were the ones who financed them they're the ones who empowered them and we see bennett's being one of those leaders who by the way just changed his position to say i need to go back and do a coalition government with that now that difference between him and previous israeli 'd need this from previous years and decades is that those ones it's going to take that long time to explain it to me but let me just say but i didn't 2 words they used to work under they under the rubric of shooting and crying that's what how it was doing in israel meaning yes they did shoot the palestini

now that israel has normalize relations with the u. e with bahrain, sudan, and morocco plus jordan and egypt who are already there. you can see that the fault lines in the region have dramatically changed the israeli government. thanks. there's little cost of doing what it's doing right now. and in less than 2 years, the republicans who are unapologetic, supporters of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu majors went back control of congress from the democrats. all he has to do is wait. so even if it's true that support for israel in the democratic party may be shifting ever so slightly. it's not likely that america is going to save the day. and that's the bottom line. ah, news, news, news. news . i'm harry davies and kimberly, in western australia or indigenous communities, attaining with scientists to create a new approach to marine conservation thing. you learn, we even that to the government, i'm a firm and do any reporting from review. if you're going to try, protecting by diversity pro, defending themselves against the legal

prime minister of israel and i think. my hope is that we'll see this coming to a conclusion sooner than later more now from mike hanna in washington. well president biden saying that his administration is constantly engaging with various parties from various sides in this conflict saying as well but it's not only that his officers are talking to israelis and palestinians they are also talking to other countries in the region such as cutter and egypt which have particular influence in an area in gaza in particular but president biden clearly walking a tightrope walk here he has said he wants to recalibrate the u.s. relationship with israel given the exceedingly close relationship that evolved under the previous administration as yet though he has not done so his administration continuing to look at ways in which it is going to reestablish the relationship and those changes that were made under the trump administration still in place for example the u.s. embassy remains in jerusalem having been moved from tel aviv so a pres

favorable towards israel. a majority of people who identify as democrats also support israel and even i saw groups who self identify as liberal democrats are favorable. of course they want to see peace but israel wants to see peace too. would love to have peace with our palestinian neighbors and people need to understand, hamas is not just israel's enemy. hamas is the enemy of everyone who wants to see peace and reconciliation in our part of the world. there were brutal jihadist groups, no one should make excuses for them. >> chris: so how do you understand, how do you regard the criticism you're getting from rashida tlaib and ilhan omar and alexandria ocasio-cortez, and in addition from much more mainstream democrats. for instance, the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, robert menendez? >> ambassador regev: so the senator is a champion of the israel-u.s. partnership. a champion of the alliance between our two democracies, a real friend of israel. i think we weren't quick enough. he was partic

divestment from israel and economic sanctions to be placed on israel as well as double the israel legally accountable through the international criminal court. i firmly believe that we tried that route of the peace process and all that it yielded was a level of both sides of them. and in fact, rather than both sides of them, it was mostly that palestinians had to swallow whatever it is that israel was doing and simply accepted. and we're now not at that stage anymore. we're at a stage now where people are saying enough is enough. we live for generations under israel's military rule. it's time for us to have our freedom and if it means pushing for boycotts divestment sanction, that's the route that we're going to be taking. and it's just a question of time before we see that this palestinian leadership either fall or ends up ends up taking on that same language and pushes for divestment the same way that the amc did in south africa. daniel, i want to get the last few seconds to you to see if you were to change any of the elements as you look at the real mass that we're looking at the world

what i think we have to separate between israel and the, the west bank and gaza inside israel. every citizen jew, arab christian was slim, it doesn't matter who has the right to vote and have full democratic, right? you know, we've, as you know, we've had 4 elections in the 1000000 in the west bank, gaza, nice to meet someone who don't know who don't have the live on the israeli, the patient. but the palestinians in the west bank and gaza have autonomy and have their own elections for their own leadership. the fact the leadership haven't held election in 15 years is not the issue that israel has to deal with. that's an issue for the palestinian leadership. the palestinians in the world and the palestinians offered to me on i and i step of the process and the know of course they got that also to me and they got that process. the fact they haven't had an election in 15 years surely can't be playing with them. okay. about that rights to take part in us the latest human rights report, but they're not part of it but tempered them. but i'm saying, and they are the only thing that kin

aid given to israel and the amount and type of u.s. support given to israel in the united nation and other other international bodies danny let me ask you the israeli army has said that it's going to be presenting a plan to political leadership for a potential ground operation and do you expect that there will be a ground operation an offensive in gaza playing out in the days to come. no i ain't no 17 years ago or the deputy minister of defense and every time when the fight with hamas you have to look at all options who would seem gay very carefully before taking it out in the asian we know their rights and know. our main goal is do what depth our city them days when you are there is plenty of germans and sitting in billboards all over there we have a strong military more than military. and we are consuming meat right now but if there were a should would continue and the brutal attack innocent civilians will continue we will have to think about it and we just think that we are trying to minimize the number of civilian casualties and th

said i'm not going to bite right now israel's sort of depending on the u.s. if that was to happen and all of those folks he said were to actually bind together against israel isn't israel going to turn around say ok look at to us time to for you to step in. i don't know that they'd want to do that they may have to in the end i think the u.s. would probably be the 1st of all interior if that were the case let's hope it doesn't come to that but israel is left with not a lot of options yes it has nuclear weapons but it certainly can't use them on its neighbors because it would be right in the middle of the radiation blowback so they're pretty limited right now when they're surrounded by groups that they're irritating further and further you know what they could do was back off and stop stealing palestinian homes in east jerusalem so the settlers to back off and i think really the body administration could deliver a message like that to netanyahu and maybe it's in a better position than trump was to deliver that message you know was definitely a different especia

israel. pressure is mounting in the president's own party and in his administration to end the violence. top diplomats from the u.s. and russia have struck an optimistic tone after their first face-to-face meeting. antony blinken insert date lavrov spoke in iceland. the u.s. secretary of state repeated warnings against what he called aggressive russian actions. he also talked up the benefits of working together. the russian foreign minister said he agreed. those are the headlines. more news here on al jazeera after "the bottom line," which is coming up next. ♪ >> is the democratic party's traditionally rock-solid support for israel eroding westmark let's get to "the bottom line." when president joe biden got to the white house, he had a list of priorities in the palestine -israel issue was probably competing for last place on that list. but as it always does come of the open wound of the palestinian-israeli conflict as a way of forcing itself onto the world agenda. and now, biden is facing

also rockets fired into israel. for a brief time israel's airport was closed which i think is indicative of the share fragility of the situation at the moment. but the guns are going to fall silent. 0f the moment. but the guns are going to fall silent. of course none of that addresses the fundamental underlying issues between israel and the palestinians. unless those are addressed it is a racing certainty that sometimes in the future we will be here again. let's go now to ambassador dennis ross. for more than 12 years he was the lead middle east negotiator for the united states. he's in washington. thanks forjoining us. why do you think the cease—fire was agreed now after 11 days? i think each side understood that there was not a whole lot more to be gained. and the israelis understood that they had been pretty successful in terms of seriously degrading the hamas military capabilities. especially the rocket production lines, the network of their tunnels. i think hamas had fired 5000 rockets into israel. and obviou

and israel and all of these are your. nations both sides of the divide to come back to the negotiating table people who have gathered here in london say this isn't just a case of clashes this isn't just about one group against another this is about in their words the okie prior versus al capone i thought what we have here is israel as the aggressor i'm the oppressor. illegally evicting 1st of all palestinians from their homes it's your job then you have the the the abhorrence the type of peaceful worshippers in the locks on mosques in one of the holiest months of the calendar for muslims on one of the holiest lights of the car in the form of not only did they attack peaceful worshippers but they desecrate at the sites sanctity of one of the most holiest sites in islam. on the turbulence we're seeing 2 in the middle east has its roots or in the lines drawn on maps find the way its allies decades ago and many of these protests is now feel that the united kingdom has a pivotal role to play in bringing peace to that part of t

being fired from gaza into southern israel. going back to gaza strip and my way through the face like. the seats were completely emptied as if there were care if you will people prefer to stay home and they have almost stopped all the celebrations of that which include visiting each other visiting families or relatives saw so that there is a different kind of celebrations over you the. people who are staying home because as we described for in gaza there is no 'd infrastructure of. what people can run can run and so the only choice for people now is to stay home and wait for farther developments regarding reaching the ceasefire which is not clear when would the terms of reaching a cease fire failed all right thanks so much that was so forth from gaza let's go over to harry for said harry we've. well we've had a busy day haven't we had a strikes and then we had 100 rockets launched toward southern israel what's it looking like in southern israel when of course you are. yeah i mean there's been a bit of a lot since that very larg

, support israel, are favorable towards israel. a majority of people who identify as democrats also support israel, favor israel. and even i saw people who self-identify as liberal democrats are favorable towards israel. of course they want to see peace, but israel wants to see peace too. weaved love to have peace with our palestinian neighbors. hamas is the enemy of everyone who wants to seek peace and reconciliation in our part of the world. they're a brutal, jihadist terrorist group. no one should make excuses for them. chris: so how do you understand, how do you regard the criticism you're getting from rashid da threeb and ilhan omar and alexandria ocasio-cortez and in addition from from much more mainstream democrats, for instance, the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, robert menendez? >> so senator menendez is a champion of the israel/u.s. partnership. a champion of the alliance between our two democracies, a real friend of israel. think we weren't quick enough -- he was particularly concerned about an attac

israel pounds gaza with asterix hissing residential and government buildings while targeting hamas $44.00 palestinians including children have now been killed. this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. a star in swale overnight across israel hamas and its allied factions fire more than a 1000 rockets hitting as far away as tel of the. legend israel's next palestinian israeli communities including the city of lives but the mayor says it's been like a civil war. and india's deadliest 24 hours since the pandemic began more than $4200.00 people died of covert 19 as a virus rips through the rural hinterlands. it is the most severe escalation in violence since the 2014 war on the gaza strip and it seems there is no end in sight it is currently around 2 pm there and through the night and into the morning israel has hamad gaza with a strikes as rockets streamed out of the besieged palestinian territory to happen international calls for deescalation those continue to go ahead so far 44 palestinians have been killed. well earlier the israeli army launched what it described as its biggest ai

the reality that israel has been. beyond of the international law for so long and has been treated as such that exceptionalism that has been granted for israel for so long is the software which we see big. but nonetheless we we don't international mechanisms and the national institutions off the responsibilities of absolve them of the excuse for so with these we are knocking all the doors possible. to stop this carnage against our people and this attack on civilians that we are witnessing today in gaza and everywhere else in the occupied palestinian territory how do you respond to the i guess they are allegations in effect of the palestinian authority is not strong enough that in fact it cooperates outside of these water times it in fact cooperates a lot with israel on issues to do with security and then when an issue comes like this you actually find yourself quite powerless. the palestinian authority the government off the list land is very clear when it comes to issues of cooperation with these are all limited to b

israel. you know there are parts of the u.n. which are not fair minded there's no there's been more un resolutions against israel in some cases than against north korea and against iran and if you ask european countries and most democracies who is more democratic who treats their minorities better they would all say well admit that israel is a democracy israel does treat its minorities better when they have a critique of this or absolutely and i don't i don't see it israel's perfect i do think that you have to look again at the overall context that when you're in a situation where we're in the 4th war with gaza in 12 years that creates this little level of friction that maybe you don't have to worry about in england but there are look there's a lot going on in the united states right now and it's been a lot rougher i mean obviously black lies matter is something that we do cover on this show but 50 percent of the population of gaza are children and warplanes of the israeli have was dropping b
