vote daft would lead to the autonomy be granted statehood international support for mahmoud abbas bid to upgrade the palestinians from observer status to that of a non them observer state is growing despite a v.m. in opposition from israel and the united states well for more on this we can now go live to gaza and journalist kerry was the affair with harry so what exactly is at stake here. well i call this the sanity bid because at the end of the day we have in here in the middle east we have an israeli state and then we have a no on the palestinian state simply palestinian territories the palestinian people do not have rights like israelis do as a result of the status of national entity and so this is a bid by mahmoud abbas to upgrade the status of the palestinian territories. to try and move towards a recognition of the palestinian territories palestine and here in gaza this has a lot of significance because the palestinian territories geographically contiguous that we have the west bank and gaza in the west bank particularly associated with the power of mahmoud abbas and here in gaz

for mahmoud abbas in ramallah, he is really on the sidelines. he's come forth with a way, we can talk about it later, he wants to bring the issue of palestinian statehood to u.n. on november 29. that too is a false road. there really isn't a palestinian way through the gun and through hamas. >> no military solution, frankly, to this conflict by either side. some sort of political solution down the road, but again, that road map seems very far off at this point. we're hearing some distant sounds of explosions, not anywhere in central gaza city, but sounds like far off in the distance. we're going to continue to broadcast from here, also from jerusalem from the israeli side of the border and the border towns that have been hard hit over the last seven to eight days. we're also going to talk to israel's ambassador to the u.s. when we come back. 44 @4p@4 >>> we just had an air alarm, it's going off right now. we're going to get into a safer place. it literally just went off as we got in the air. get this thing unplugged. let's get inside. >> please

we call to mahmoud abbas for years to come and return to the table of negotiations and israel i want to. remind you that israel did everything israel could to proceed to give chance to this to this process we stopped building stopped building in some area for turn months what no government before this government and at the end of the of this. of this step of israel nothing happened palestinians didn't get back to the negotiations they did back very symbolically and it was done in two weeks and it again failed so i think that israel done everything he could to bring back this process but again we have to provide security to israel we don't want to see that the new palestinian state will become a new another terrorist base and by the way i'm sure that this security will be good not only for israel will be good also for palestinians and for all the international community to begin with call upon palestinians and mahmoud abbas to come back to this big oceans and by the way we sure that this is the cool ration. of the bus is a kind of effort to you know distract the palestinian public fro

positioning with the state of israel in terms of engaging with the state of israel in comparison to mahmoud abbas who is seen in the western world as much more moderate in comparison to harass presenting a more hardline position including armed resistance against the state of israel so what we have here is a palestinian political dynamic as well if the western world and indeed the u.n. does not support this increased status for the palestinian people then what will almost certainly happen will be that mahmoud abbas is seen as even weaker a palestinian national representative and hamas will be further strengthened to the dismay of israel and the united states where washington for its part has been trying to persuade nothing would a bus to drop his un bid earlier we talked to imad mad president of the minaret of freedom institute who explained why it's so important for the u.s. that the palestinian state remains unrecognized. in my view washington is simply reflecting the position of israel or washington as far as american interests are concerned there is no real american interest per se nati

called egyptian president mahmoud morsi, and benjamin netanyahu. president obama reiterated the united states believes israel has the right to defend itself. also said the united states would take this moment to work towards helping israel to further secure the region. but also talked about the importance of trying to achieve a broader security agreement in the region. and in speaking to egyptian president mahmoud morsi, president obama really thanked him for playing such a pivotal role. the white house saying that is one of the big things that came out of the past several days, alex. that president obama and egyptian president mahmoud morsi spent a lot of time talking on the phone. by some accounts they had six conversations in several details. and through those conversations, president obama and president morsi really strengthened their relationship. there was a question surrounding president morsi in part because of his ties to the muslim brotherhood, and feld morsi was pragmatic and they were on the same page in wanting to broker a cease-fire.

washington for its part has been trying to persuade mahmoud abbas to drop his u.n. bit earlier we talked to him. president of the minaret of freedom institute who explained why it's so important for the u.s. to have a palestinian state remains and recognized. my view washington is simply reflecting the position of israel or washington as far as american interests are concerned there is no real american interest per se national interest that is served by denying the recognition to the palestinians however there is a domestic political issue and that is that many of the members of congress believe that in less they stand by israel in its opposition to the recognition of the palestinian state at this time that they themselves would lose their seats so this is a matter of a domestic domestic politics for the united states rather than a question of foreign policy while the u.s. support for israel and its disputes with palestine seems unflinching when it comes to other regional matters washington must learn to say no just form a statement. you're not good. decisions. more

any attacks going on gaza from israel the same holds true for the west bank the second that president mahmoud abbas agrees to negotiate with israel. any israeli measures in terms of unilateral action in the west bank will also cease we saw their willingness and desire to keep telling the why haven't settlement freeze hold out wait one second sir i will allow me to finish a sentence and then afterwards we'll go to you so in the west bank the second that the palestinian authority is willing to negotiate you'll see also israel stopping unilateral measures there but the only thing that unites fatah and hamas is its mutual hatred for the jewish state and you see that when they don't have a common enemy they usually just go to fisticuffs and disagree on every other issue so that was really spelling a bad bad bad future for the middle east if the only thing that they can agree on is their hatred for israel ok now we know that i mean that's a very time janson fair time i mean it seems to me that israel is creating its worst nightmare and that's one state ok and they're going to have to deal with it o

palestinian president mahmoud abbas still has to present his case to the united nations but his supporters are already cheering a move that promises palestinians more legal clout on the international stage ever they decide to take any punitive measures and you know steps against the palestinians it seems to me that we will have available international community and other means at holding them accountable and trying to restrain such unbridled joy and illegal behavior but the applause hides the growing frustration on the palestinian street it was little more than a year ago that a bus but for full u.n. membership that failed young activists like mark office treated that things have not changed a lot of people just feel betrayed this is a free the feeling of that's that's been hurting us since. last march the main thing that we lost since also we had. to create people in forty years they were like in a way they were you know want people now twenty years after that almost twenty years after that. we have a lot of divisions within the society since the oslo agreement israeli settlement building

spend all mahmoud abbas's presidency if. the states it is unsuccessful if it's on successful hamas will myself in addition and people will see nothing about his presidency i was very much weaker hamas will definitely strengthens here in the gaza strip something that israel the united states european states north american states generally speaking will be high you just made about harry thanks for being with us tonight harry fear there goes a place activist reporting on out tonight. palestinians are preparing for u.n. observer status recognition with the vote just hours away as i mentioned just now i spoke to an excel ski's press secretary for the israeli prime minister he told me that his country has never did rail the palestinian struggle for statehood. we called to mahmoud abbas for years to come and return to the table of negotiations and israel i want to. remind you that israel did everything israel could to proceed to give a chance to this to this process we stopped building stopped building in today in some area for tur

from there we'll be going to ramallah to meet with mahmoud abbas. we'll be right back. [ lisa ] my name's lisa, and chantix helped me quit. i honestly loved smoking, and i honestly didn't think i would ever quit. [ male announcer ] along with support, chantix is proven to help people quit smoking. it reduces the urge to smoke. it put me at ease that you could smoke on the first week. [ male announcer ] some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these stop taking chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of depression or other mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these stop taking chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, tell your doctor if you have new or worse symptoms

in particular with mahmoud abbas, with the palestinian authority, with the group with israel and the united states has been trying to deal with. and as you said, trying to political isolate hamas by not recognizing them? >> reporter: well, i think this must be a nightmare for the palestinian authority and mahmoud abbas, because all the attention has been on gaza, and he has been seated at the table, obviously talking to the egyptians, to the u.s. and israel. but nonetheless, seated at the table. i think what is really interesting, if indeed, the parameters of this cease-fire include the lifting of the blockade of gaza, and easing of restrictions, trade and commerce, and travel restrictions, and by the israelis if it results in a lack of rockets coming into israel. no more rockets being fired into israel, and no more re-supply of weapons to gaza, then perhaps there is something to build on. but the fact of the matter is, it looks like hamas is a force to be reckoned with, even eight days after this war. >> and negotiations, if the cease-fire holds for the next 24 hours, negotiations a

she landed with tel aviv and met with benjamin netanyahu, and later she will meet with mahmoud abbas and president morsi in israel. what are you hearing about the talks with netanyahu? >> they met about two hours with netanyahu, the defense minister, foreign minister, national security team. they spent two hours, the statement released by the state department says she was briefed on the israeli position of all issues. she wants to see a deescalation of what's going on, she uses the word a calm. they are avoiding the word cease-fire for right now throughout the day, there is speculation coming from hamas and egyptian officials that they were close to a cease-fire. israelis downplaying the possibility. saying they weren't there until they actually had an agreement. no agreement, and if anything, it looks like there was an intensification of the shelling of southern israel today by hamas and an intelligence fiction of israeli attacks in gaza, witnessed by what happened to you guys what you saw over the past hour or two in gaza city. the negotiations will continue tomorrow, hillary clint

one is yourselves and mahmoud abbas. the other is hamas. there's an increasing distance between these two organizations which makes it very, very difficult to know who should be negotiating with israel. >> well, the plo, palestine liberation organization remains the representative of the palestinian people, even when hamas formed the palestinian government after the elections of 2006, they acknowledged this fact that the plo will be in charge of conducting negotiations with israel in order to resolve the conflict. so there's no question about who represents the palestinian people here. we do have political differences. this is not a secret. but when it comes to confronting this israeli brutal attack against the gaza strip, witnessing the deaths of innocent civilians, 135 so far have been killed, almost 1,000 wounded, we have put aside all our differences and we do our best to protect our people. >> how do you personally feel about the indiscriminate firing of rockets into israeli civilian areas going back months and years? >> well, we alway

but, also, they don't want to weaken mu mahmoud abbas. in congress you can have people who are quite angry about this move by mahmoud abbas and don't forget money is involved for the united states. i just checked, $200 million up on capitol hill in these support funds that are used for the administration of the palestinian authority. now, the state department wants those to be used. that is for administering what is considered a relatively moderate, at least in that context, government. and, so, if some in congress want to pull that money, it could weaken mahmoud abbas. why is that bad? because mahmoud abbas is much more moderate than hamas. and hamas' star has been rising after they rose up, hit israel and then there was a cease-fire. but there's still, you know, they are ascendant and mahmoud abbas is descendant. the other part of this is the peace process. you know, does it help the peace process and does it hinder the peace process and you have to say what does mahmoud abbas really want to do. he says he wants to negotiate, but does t

just so i understand i understand i am correct atlantic that goes on understand your claim correctly mahmoud in two thousand and eight stated that a who would but uk for. ninety nine point one percent of the west bank are you seriously making that claim. yes this is this sort of us very slowly making label hapless negotiations that collapse because of operation was led well there's not much that there's not much i mean if you're making that claim with a straight talk i don't see what you're saying is you're repeating the same palestinian narrative for forty three years of israeli occupation yes i know that and. there it is. israel has to cease its occupation i think of palestinians are a story i have and there is absolutely no reason why that narrative should change. no this is the reason why i should change because that narrative is promoting violence and incitement against jews rather than revolution is. using you as a party this is promoting violence it's the occupation that you are supporting there is violence. there wouldn't be occupation if there was palestinian recognition of jewish r

by the palestinian president mahmoud abbas. that statement said and i quote the word watched the defamatory and venomous speech full of propaganda the ids defense bosses and the citizens of israel. someone who wants peace does not talk in such a manner. truly before the vote burned palestinian flag here in jerusalem. the u.n. vote diplomatic terrorism but in the last few days after realizing the vote was going to have overwhelming support, tried to down play its significance. israeli defense minister ehud barak in washington today meeting with leon panetta says the vote does not replace peace talks. >> i see that nothing can replace on the way to serve our -- the substance, the conflict nothing can replace the direct negotiation with no conditions. >> palestinians meanwhile celebrated the u.n. vote upgraded status to nonmember u.n. state. final tally wasn't until around midnight local time. crowds filled the streets of ramallah on the west bank. see a number of cars on the streets and palestinian flag flying. most of the demons

in the west bank in particular societally with the power of mahmoud abbas and here in gaza particular associated with the power of hamas now recently of course we've had the two thousand and twelve gaza war a seven day war with the state of israel and palestinian resistance groups including the resistance wing of hamas as part of the brigades used force against the state of israel in the conflict is. starkly different in terms of positioning with the state of israel in terms of engaging with the state of israel in comparison to mahmoud abbas who is seen in the western world as much more moderate in comparison to have presenting a more hardline position including armed resistance against the state of israel so what we have here is a palestinian political dynamic as well if the western world and indeed the u.n. does not support this increased status for the palestinian people and what will almost certainly happen will be but mahmoud abbas is seen as even weaker a palestinian national representative and hamas will be further strengthened to the dismay of israel and the united states well

secretary of state hillary clinton has finished a meeting with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas and she's on her way back to jerusalem and it is significant that when she met with him that meeting lasted a little less than an hour there were no statements given afterwards by comparison when she landed here yesterday and we've had the israeli prime minister there was a press conference held at the. a press conference clinton did just that did say that washington support for israel was rock solid and she's now in a way back to brief natanya who in terms of the latest talks but this briefing comes in the light of this tel aviv suicide bombing which has been confirmed to have been a terrorist attack by the israeli authorities so no doubt that briefing might take a very different way and a very different route to perhaps what continue intended in the early hours of this morning. the israeli offensive in gaza and as that second week with the by raj of missiles from seized told devastating the area more than one hundred forty people have been killed many of them civilians and according

>> well, i think this must be a nightmare for the palestinian authority and mahmoud abbas. because all the attention has been on hamas in gaza and meshaal has been here with a seat at the table obviously talking through the egyptians to the u.s. and to israel. nonetheless, a seat at the table. i think what's really interesting is if, indeed, the parameters of this cease-fire include a lifting of the blockade of gaza and easing of restrictions, trade and commerce, travel restrictions, and by -- for the israelis if it results in a lack of rockets coming into israel, no more rockets being fired into israel, and no more resupply of weapons to gaza, then, perhaps, there's something to build on. but the fact of the matter is that it looks like hamas is a force to be reckoned with even after this eight days or more of war. >> and negotiations, if the cease-fire holds for the next 24 hours, negotiations are to begin again for these next steps? >> yes. obviously, this is sort of a cease-fire. but there are many more things to be built on it. and the interesting thing again here, whi

the president of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas. he's not only played a prominent role in all of this. i want to play if we can a clip of what senator dianne feinstein told piers morgan yesterday. >> i think israel moving forward with mahmoud abbas is the only way to go. and to miss this opportunity, actually because the window is closing, the demographics of the area are making it increasingly difficult, because the arab population inside of israel is increasing every year. so this is, in my book, it is an opportunity. and it -- if the moderate arab nations would ever really step up to really be helpful in solving this, i believe it could be solved. >> your reaction ambassador holliday? >> well, typically when we've had these flare-ups, and the escalations in violence, there has been some kind of peace process in play that you could go back to. and i think what senator feinstein is referring to is the fact that there haven't been talks with -- between abbas and the israeli government. over issues of how you start negotiations, and

would like to see the palestinian president mahmoud abbas pushed away from power and for more radical elements to come to power not only in gaza but also in the west bank and most notably here we're talking about hamas this would hope because tarries meet their goals particularly in syria where for quite some time they have been pushing for regime change which was also witnessed a growing together in terms of relationship between qatar and how much let me just remind you that some two hundred and fifty million dollars were recently made by qatar to hamas to help palestinians in the gaza strip rebuild their homes in the infrastructure off to the operation. now what we also know is that israel stands to lose from all of this of course israel has been alarmed by the close relationship between hamas as well as saudi arabia qatar and mohamed morsi they are they coming closer together and expressing more vocal anti israel sentiment so there's a lot happening behind the scenes we're not just talking about summation of yasser arafat's body but we're talking about a much longer deeper ramifica
