this was read as hamas is moderating. changedoncede hamas has in tactical ways. in 2006, the elections which it won in a landslide. these tactical maneuvers, the most recent in 2017, was to insulate itself from the stench of the muslim brotherhood, in very ill repute in egypt, and from qatar, which does not like the muslim brotherhood. hamas i think retains its goal and has not disavowed its goal of liquidating israel. none of those documents do that when you read them closely. it presents itself in terms that are meant to -- how shall i put it -- fool people into thinking that hamas is somehow deal of old with. -- somehow dealable with. i don't think that's true and i think the principle that you can deal with anyone is false. it is not true you can make a deal with anyone and that there are factions within hamas but are better to the point where you can deal with them. that's just not valid. you can see the evidence for that, because we had the same argument about the palestinian liberation organization changing its position and accepting israel, and it went th

because hamas is a fluid organization hamas, they want to maintain truce, and we know hamas is capable of maintaining a long-term trues, as capable as israel. it does not mean we have to fall in love with hamas. it means we have to deal with the reality that they can win elections. gene: the question to you, elan, and then i will give it over to either of you or the audience. you have said a couple of times that there are legitimate palestinian grievances that should be rearedressed. you elaborate on those grievances that should be specifically redressed? elan: sure. theytioned them because speak to the moral framework that i am bringing. one of the main things that is happening in israel right now is jewish fundamentalists are trying to illegally settle lands. i think that is wrong. it is a violation of the rule of law, and one of the ways they do this if they basically squat. in english law, squatting is when you take over someone's property and exclude them. they do this, and then they expect the government to come and protect them. i think this is wrong. it essentially steals land

why did so many turn to hamas. part of it was frustration with the lack of progress towards the palestinian state? could it be the intransyens of israel in many cases? every time. not every palestinian leader is a saint. a every israeli leader is villain but the reality is there are two sides. there are two sides to this situation. question for me is what if palestinians vote the wrong way? to ppears you either have believe in democracy or not. democracy appears okay for we can -- we're happy with the way they vote but what about when the palestinians democratically elect hamas into government. who then has the right to that hamas can't be dealt with? like i said in iraq and afghanistan we dealt with people who literally had the blood of soldiers on our hands. t worked and we didn't like it one bit. still don't. but i knew we were never going nationalist iraqi movement in iraq. e're never going to defeat militarily taliban and afghanistan. good luck soviets tried. we've been trying. it's not going to happen. they a

hamas officials told fox news, hamas is providing them with weapons and money. as you saw president trump talking at the white house, united states supports prime minister netanyahu and their efforts to defend their country. you are also seeing it inside with hamas. >> shepard: breaking news bent benjamin netanyahu delays to israeli and holds a security meaning. normally means there is action coming. that's right, in addition to those factors which tray mentioned. a lot of people suspect in fact the rival to hamas. now trying to divert attention by firing off these rockets. in a way the israelis don't want to play into hamas' hands. prime minister netanyahu has been accused of the left and right of being soft on hamas. when you add that to missile strikes he can't help but have a strong response. >> shepard: little background, strike by hamas militants, israelis responded. one target struck by the israeli jet was the office of hamas leader in a neighborhood in the northern gaza. the building served as an office for military meetings and headquarters of hamas' se

hamas. and both are founded with a shared goal of bringing an end to israel society, both are hostile to rights and individual freedom and they actively now in the present day, not in some future state they are claiming to seek, right now they are trampling the rights of their own people. the plo runs the palestinian authority, and interim cause i state, which was supposed to be a step toward full sovereignty. this is mostly in the parts of the west bank. it is an authoritarian regime. entity,ident of this his four-year term as president ended 10 years ago and he is still in power and he is not leaving. he will appoint the next prime minister, it seems. heyou try to live there, will realize there is no freedom of speech, association. if you criticize him, the dictator in place, you may well be thrown in jail. god help you if you are a christian or gay under the palestinian authority. you will be hounded out, if you make it out alive. the palestinian authority moreover incites its own people

hamas has been reacting to that what can you tell us so how mass has been denying the fierce for the any involvement in those rocket attacks and they have actually been saying that they will target those who have launched attacks and they would hold them accountable we've heard the statement from the ministry of interior saying that they would that the launching of these rockets has been outside the national consensus we've heard have mass leaders talk in the past that they are interested in a long term ceasefire with israel and they do not want to engage in any war or any escalation ok jim adopted from thank you the u.s. senate has voted to revoke donald trump's the correction of a national emergency on the border with mexico several members of the president's own republican party sided against him our white house correspondent kelly reports on how trump responded are there any centers wishing to change their vote. a humiliating for puke by members of his own republican party the joint resolution is passed on thursday twelve republicans in the senate joined democrats to overturn the

any nish it to me come up in hama was. a little tougher so i'm now all moderate. and i think you meant it says that shalt not kill you shall not kill on the other hand it says and in the talmud if one comes to slay you slay him first so it's not like you never kill you don't kill if you believe that they kill but if one comes against you it's a commandment to kill him first and now we have the land and we have an enemy and we have to get back to being the regional jew of the bible like david was that knows when to kill and when not to kill. my thought a right to get married the one who made the sure he was one of the fellows from doing so at the wedding there was a lot of what they call hilltop you know because my son was it was the help of youth friends of the guy and introduced him he's the guy who was a suspect so we had a lot of guilt that you feel in the middle of the wedding and some built up kids they took a sign and it happened to be one of the babies that would bring. her . to. her. i don't cry for. i don't cry for what happened recently. well look at you

because the gazans actually voted for hamas in two thousand and six and until this very day hamas officially has the majority of the seats of the legislative council of the palestinian authority and they control does a by force and of course they don't like us as when they want to liberate palestine in order to establish a caliphate like isis like country as they had run in gaza so once you know why we have to remind them that we are a peaceful country in a war we won't leave in peace and i'm almost sure that our show will not tolerate even one me side being shot almost go and so why should we tolerate a missile which woke me up this morning where would i leave it to blow up a few kilometers from on my home why should be tolerated why should we take it would you take it would you understand it would you accept it. ok appreciate your thoughts my guests this hour dr mordecai of the begin said at center university. on today's other news a u.s. computer hacker jailed after a cyber attack on a hospital where a teenager was mistreated has appealed to r.t. for help comes amid fears his conditions i

well the israeli authorities are now explicitly blaming hamas for those two rockets that were detected being launched from the gaza strip on thursday evening originally the army spokesman at least in the hour or so after the rockets emerged from there the army spokesman said that they couldn't be sure which of the palestinian factions inside gaza had fired them but that they held hamas responsible for everything that goes on inside gaza anything that emanates from gaza that is the long held israeli position now though they are saying that they are directly blaming hamas for that launch and as you say the airstrikes have been ongoing throughout the course of much of the night a substantial israeli response along the lines of what we were expecting so far our colleagues in gaza tell us that these strikes have not entered into the middle of gaza city they have not been targeting buildings in the middle of gaza city however they are they have as you say been targeting various sites linked to hamas in what israel terms as terrorist organizations so that is the situation as far as the israel

saying all that doesn't it say that hamas problem is solved. hamas is controlling a state in gaza. and as much as today it is much, much stronger as isis as much to prevent al-qaeda, hamas is much stronger today than it was ten years ago. but yet israel is in relative peace, editing, this is a think the bottom line to your question is that intelligence, nothing less than exquisite and the willingness to translate that into even violent actions like targeted killings can achieve a lot on a tactical state. it will not achieve your strategic target or strategic goal of reconciliation. >> erroll, how does that square domestic record with a much different situation, but we have to address the issue which is confronting tactical success versus strategic success. for those individuals within this country were becoming radicalized to violence, whether motivated by white supremacists and neo-nazism, or radical islamist ideology. how do we effectively counter that? >> the obama administration took on a new program called countering violent extremism that it was well intended. it made the mis

for it despite the fact that hamas had denied. responsibility now they're saying perhaps it was a mistaken launch whether they mean that some sort of technical problem or whether it was a lower level group that did something without the sanction of its commanders is not yet clear but both sides do simply sending messages to the others to allow some kind of room to to deescalate the situation and it has been calm during daylight hours and how it all narrowly it could be an incident seemingly is as routine if you like as this that could that could lead to much greater conflagration between the two sides so clearly both sides and not very keen to go down that route at this particular occasion but tell us more about the egyptian delegation that was in girls or at the time and i think it has actually left now. that's right the egyptians left a reportedly because they were recommended to do so by the israelis ahead of the israeli military response but they were there according to hamas they were actually engaged in talks when these two

some clashes between supporters of hamas and those protesters further arrests a similar protest that we saw on thursday from the israeli perspective they initially in the small hours of this morning blamed hamas the carrying out the initial launch now they're saying that perhaps it was some kind of a mistake whether that be a technical mistake or to do with low level hamas members firing off rockets without the official sanction of the senior leadership so both sides sending signals to the other that there is potentially a way out of this hamas and islamic jihad about saying that they are observing the terms of the previously brokered egyptian cease fire israel does not publicly comment on that situation certainly there is also a very sensitive political situation on the israeli side where in the midst of the election campaign heading towards the polls on the ninth of april benjamin netanyahu the prime minister had to do something to show forcefulness to his to his opponents to make sure that they could not criticize him for being too soft. hamas as they have in the past his main cha

on a long term ceasefire with israel but israel security minister was quick to point the finger at hamas is their exit two rockets were shot from the gaza strip on to tell of if this continues of the a year of the rockets shot from the gaza strip on the citizens of southern israel it's time to defeat hamas it's time to act unilaterally demilitarize hamas in order to defend israeli citizens we have two reporters covering the story shortly will speak. first over to harry fawcett in west jerusalem to talk us through the past couple of hours harry. well yes the first indications that something was going on were the sirens which were heard around the first time since two thousand and fourteen that those emergency sirens sounded and then the exposure and then some explosions heard in the air potentially the iron dome as some of the anti missile rockets were exploding in the air but the israeli military having said initially that one of those rockets that it said to being fired from gaza had been intercepted then corrected itself saying that neither had but there were no injuries no damage caus

what happened to the egyptian brokered cease fire on an island by hamas. well at this stage it's sort of like an informal cease fire hamas says they're not going to fire because they think there's a cease fire israel doesn't know anything about a cease fire in quotation marks that means that they're saying basically if you guys keep it quiet meaning hamas keeps a quiet israel is going to keep it quiet so for now there's an options of basically got everybody to look away from the battlefield take a breather take a pause and each side is watching with the other side might do or not do and since about three am local time it's been quiet now the israel prime minister has promised a new tough measures against time what should we expect. well there are so many tough measures going on right now it's a little hard to assess that. basically the only option c. has to ratchet up the pressure is to attack very sensitive hamas targets there is talk of maybe resuming a policy of targeted assassinations against hamas leaders that certainly would be escalating the the wha

your credit in jerusalem welcome so israel blaming hamas hamas denying it what's the latest. yeah that's right so far and no. but you know the strike. this report about an unnamed hamas official denies that hamas is involved suggesting somehow that this might be an accident again that has happened before now the israeli army has not responded to such claims and has actually said they are holding hamas was controlling the gaza strip responsible . for this strike they're saying this rocket was manufactured in gaza that it belongs to one of the big a militant group so the hamas military wing now we understand that preparations are going to light up the security situation the israeli army has closed off some of the roads around the gaza strip has also reinforces troops has closed the crossing it controls off gasser but we also heard from the special coordinator for the middle east mr blanton of the u.n. special coordinator who is saying that they're working with the egyptians to try to deescalate the situation at the moment but israel has said that it will brick taleo each doing

in the past, iran has played a role in funding hamas and jihad and others. so if those rockets were fired, it was clearly an attempt to escalate things and to damage the attempts by the egyptians to bring peace between the israelis and the palestinians in the gaza strip. it's expected. it's not unusual to see this missile activity coming out of gaza. as we mentioned, it's the first time since 2014 that a missile has made its way to tel aviv and for the iron dome to intercept it and be used, it was a serious threat. it's important to point out, shep that earlier, just last week, the israeli military and the u.s. military teamed up and the u.s. has sent the thad missile defense system used for high altitude missiles, something that iran would have in its possession. there was going to be a drill to use the thad and that was at a southern base inside israel. so there's clearly a sense that israel is feeling under threat from hostile neighbors and the missile defense systems have been put in place, used by the americans to basically give the israelis confidence

and in tel aviv as well the question is now who is the people are now trying to break the story of hamas inside gaza strip is something that reminds us all all of the arab spring is in gaza instead of supplying the good they direct them they direct them by money to the israeli bulldozers and they did it during all of its hero terrorist activities in israel they used people civilians as human shields this is the story this is not. the bulldozer of israel except for feeling the declaration they've all been carried out in the. air we want to destroy it destroy the israelis to kill the users to kill the jews and to destroy israel talk to if i could just put it like insane says i i just feel the israelis the police if you just give me a moment like continuation of the palestinians till dr. please if you would just give me a minute to ask you we asked the question hamas cynically used you can't just keep talking like this and expect years bulldoze your way through this interview dr burke oh please come on my question was about the way the i.d.f. is handling the situation even the un says of th

consider to be a very positive sign the atmosphere today has been relatively calm we've spoken to a hamas official in the past hour who confirms that talks are ongoing with this egyptian delegation but this official also explained that things are a little bit more complicated than the way they are being reported in the local media this official saying that while the response that the egyptian delegation brought back from israeli officials to hamas has demands was positive the problem is that there's no concrete timetable for meeting those demands those demands are being described to us as following how modest is asking for among other things easing on fishing restrictions here easing on bringing in goods to try to expand the economy and the hamas official is saying that in essence while the israeli officials have reacted positively according to the egyptian delegation there is no guarantee on when these demands would be met if there is any other group that would be able to apply pressure on israel to make sure that they stand by these agreements that they are making in principle that comp

criticizing hamas and hamas crackdown on those protesters which takes away some their legitimacy in pointing the fingers across the border do people still feel that they are equipped to leave them. without that what i was just going to say are the palestinians in gaza hold israel responsible for their suffering they hold the palestinian authority who have imposed a punitive measures for more than two years on the two million palestinian also in gaza responsible and also how muscle is the de facto government in gaza is responsible for the deterioration of the living conditions and that's why the two weeks ago hundreds of thousands of palestinians put this is an end in the middle of the streets of gaza again as hard as this put this to the ghettos the living conditions on the slogan was we wanted to know if we wanted to live a dignified life but unfortunately hamas does in a value brutal way it doesn't it security forces do it in a very brutal way again is that often in book this those of us thing on does of them beaten also hundreds of them which was which give a very negative image

led tax rises at the same time as hamas has tried to quell the border protests today there are other protests going on more arrests being carried out some stone throwing between supporters of hamas and those demonstrators are pretty feeble atmosphere there and in the ready israeli political scene as well of course we're heading towards elections on the ninth of april that made the calculations of benjamin netanyahu the prime minister all the more difficult doing something forceful enough to satisfy his critics his main challenger benny gantz has been not far from here talking about the need to project greater force and great interest not allowing hamas to set the agenda while at the same time trying to make the calculation not to let things spin out of control towards a full scale war which most analysts agree he doesn't want just a few weeks out from an election mike harris thank you very much for that now that's how i feel as with relation to life on the israel gaza border fence. again do get in touch with us we want to hear from you on all the stories we're covering send us your c

hamas has made no formal response yet why would they attack israel now. well this is a none of the militant groups have claimed responsibility for that so we have to wait and see if there's anything there have been reports saying that some source in hamas said this was actually an accidental launch but that it's not being confirmed now the situation in gaza has been very tight and actually come to new week just days before the anniversary also the protest complain that a growing on. the fence. directed against israel against the blockade of gaza has been sealed off for over a decade but they also have a test in sight from against hamas protesters have crossed. and. he says that every calling hamas from support for that at the rocket was launched from the sounds of the strip and now we are seeing preparations on both sides israel has. also alerted some office. in gaza we understand that the hamas chief was due to get the speech today that was canceled so does expect and you know there will be retaliation. and jerusalem thank you. it's a ten days since a ps

dragged away by hamas security forces. this man, one of dozens arrested. many have been badly beaten. these pictures come from social media as journalists have been stopped from doing theirjobs. protests began last week. nothing has been seen like this since hamas took full control of gaza over a decade ago. "the sons of hamas leaders have houses and cars. "they can afford to get married. "they have everything," this woman says. "and our children have nothing, not even a piece of bread." high taxes are pushing up prices in gaza, which has a broken economy. since the hamas takeover, israel and egypt impose a blockade. 70% of young people are unemployed. with the crackdown, activists can only share their grievances online using the hashtag #wewanttolive. "we have a right to build our dreams and aspirations," says this student. hamas blames its political rival, fatah, for stoking the flames of dissent, which it denies. hamas, widely seen as a terrorist group, has long ruled this tiny territory with an iron fist. while locals may now choose not to voice their

targets hamas denies attacking israel the u.s. senate has voted to revoke donald trump that the ration of a national emergency on the border with mexico several members of the president's own republican party sided against him he says he'll veto it. stuck in a brush stalemate british politicians have chosen to ask if the country's departure date can be delayed it's due to happen in just over two weeks and the suspension has to be approved unanimously by the twenty seven other members albright and reports from london. what a mess the u.k. parliament is divided and deadlocked a delay to bret's it now seems inevitable the only question is for how long the government says rejecting theresa may's deal would narrow the options to just one we would be faced with the prospect of choosing only a long extension during which the house would meet up need to face up to the choices in front of it and the consequences of the decisions that it has taken the government's proposal was to ask the e.u. for a one off extension until june the thirtieth

and t then thehere are those whe saying that it was hamas the war it was hamas that it. managed to bring a president is not there prime minister rather netanyahu from the united states to israel t to destruruct is elecection. campaign it was hamas that managed to paparalyze thehe souf israel this small organization and facing a very powerful military and israel was t too restrarained. that's been this is the perception in israel thahat been afternoooon when israelis were t in the streets aroround the gaza and they were s saying that isrl should have struck harder in how must have not been any casualties in hamas. and that wasn't s sure is a a lt and that is what they look great deterrence on the other h hand. the government is saying that israel is the the the force that broke the last strike at thrhr o'clclock am andow much d did nt retaliate which meansns israel s ththe upper hand israel calls me damage.. and that it managed to crcreate the kind off e eation that if hamas strikes israel israel is striking back. sammy a circle force the injuries them with the latest tha

both hamas and islamic jihad deny to launching the rockets despite those denials these fairly military planes have asked for the attacks and launched airstrikes in response sooner or later it's going to be clear who's shot these missiles it's the middle east things the leaking always in israel in the palestinian territories so we will know with and probably hours or days who did that it was a fogger rocket that is a powerful rocket targets of eve. it is a power for escalation and we know who has the dominance on the escalation ladder it's israel. despite those denials the israeli military blames him ask for their tact and launch airstrikes in response israel's iron dome missile defense system detected the incoming rockets and sounded alarms which were heard across the city. while some residents ran for cover for many life continued as usual. near to keep ya. know. i told their boss they the digital. get out of the both go there that is they call it and all of this you will start as those shows. but i'm fortunate i'm from the southern district of the you say you know we kind of we used

what about the barrage of rockets hamas fired a few hours ago? were those a mistake, to? o?inscribed on our statue of -- were those a mistake, too? voices will condemn israel for responding, but no government can allow its civilians to be subject to rocket attacks time and time again, and i stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of israel condemning those attacks and doing what they must to defend their homeland. hamas, hezbollah, iran -- none of these enemies darkening israel's door believe that a jewish state in any form should exist. we must never forget that. and my friends, to do all this we must keep the u.s. israel relationship bipartisan. we can only hope to defend yes, bipartisan. both parties side-by-side. we can only hope to defend israel from these threats so long as we maintain a united front. democrats and republicans together. this has been a mission for me. i'm proud that the overwhelming majority of democrats are pro-israel and have always in -- have always been. let me give you some examples. just from this past congress because democrats in the senate

the situation in gaza so far though no word from hamas. and looking at the situation in israel of course is a country that's weeks away from an election they tend to retaliate to these kinds of attacks i guess it's hard to predict but what do you think is likely to happen next. well i think almost certainly there will be a response during the course of tonight from the israelis as i say benjamin netanyahu the prime minister has started the chairing of this military meeting inside the defense ministry to to try to map out exactly what that response should be there are competing pressures on him there is little question that he doesn't want a major military escalation with gaza in the run up to a war given how unpredictable in the right to an election of apologies given how unpredictable those sorts of situations can become and how escalation can build on escalation into a very major conflagration in a major conflict however at the same time he is running against what has become a much more powerful than it's expected opposition to him compr

supporting hamas supporting so. we accepted that it was uncomfortable for us but we allowed that this is demands of our democracy and it goes both ways if you can allow our. country to be in the knesset you can allow law to come from the right to be in the knesset but i don't. limit the the line you keep talking about radicals right at apac this week you spoke at the apac convent policy conference in washington d.c. you were attacked u.s. democratic congresswoman ellen omar for her controversial criticism of apac some of what she's apologized for you said quote if you have people that use that kind of language eventually i think the public needs to remove them from office some would say danny down on shouldn't the same apply to you you've called african asylum seekers in israel infiltrators you've called them a national plague you've called for them to be expelled nothing in how o'mara said it's come anywhere near to that kind of dehumanizing rhetoric that you've used. so are some of the quotes you mention are not c
