the occupied west bank for a force that has more occupied east jerusalem. well the main pres have now taken place and people are starting to come back out from the al aqsa mosque compound in the old city in occupied east jerusalem just behind us here a rare event this year in that there's been some disagreement between the muslim authorities in various parts of the middle east as to exactly when aid should fall for saudi arabia and others they deem that it fell the end of ramadan fell on monday night here for the palestinians and for jordan and other areas they determined that ramadan finished last night tuesday night and that is why here this is the 1st day of aids so one extra day of fasting for people here before they were able to get on with the celebrations today and the prayers here islams the holiest site there has been some political background to all of this in the last couple of days of course today it is the 2nd anniversary of what the palestinians call not serve the israeli victory in the 6 day war the 1967 war which began the occupation here an

systematic roundups of those who criticize palestinian authorities both in the west bank and gaza people who criticize and social media people who attend demonstrations critical journalists those detained face systematic torture and there is no accountability for those of uses so palestinians living under occupation only face systematic rights abuse by israel but face serious rights abuse by their own authorities that are supposed to of course not only respect their rights but advocate for ending the abuses they face from israel but in the end are complicit in the awful human rights situation on the ground today and of course the palestinian authorities are always very eager to highlight violations by israel's security forces but it's also no secret dad they often coordinate activities especially policing detentions and so on what's your take on this kind of coronation does it do more harm than good or vice versa perhaps nearly half the people we interviewed and we talked to them in the west bank about the tensions by the palestinian authority were also detained by israel so you face a d

bank and gaza right now the west bank gets about 99 percent of their electricity from outside so they're not really power dependent you have the ability to develop an eco system they don't have the ability to power generation if you go on gaza they have one diesel plant which right now doesn't even have the ability to get in the goods that it needs to operate this would be about building new power infrastructure we would convert the diesel plants natural gas we'd figure out how to get pipelines to get the necessary gas in and we would figure out how to make them much more self-reliant would also build out the power grid now again a lot of these investments people are unwilling to make as people don't want to put good money after bad money they've seen in the past they've made these investments they've tried to help out the palestinian people and then all of a sudden there's some conflict that breaks out and a lot of this infrastructure gets destroyed so what we have here is very detailed plans and these are things that we can phase in over time assuming there is a real cease fire a real

is not the solution so in the end of the day half a state owned half of the west bank meaning 10 percent of historic palestine really means that the american team would like to see a palestinian autonomy totally and utterly dependent on the israeli economy and polity something. that is still to be an early an accepted by the palestinians and once the dust settles mowen on the workshop so-called taking place in bahrain where does that leave palestinian arab relations because some palestinians seem to be saying the arab delegations that are there should have been bigger wealthier more powerful more high profile and yet there's another palestinian voice saying actually you guys should have boycotted it from the get go to show solidarity with us. you know if this question that's a brilliant question at the by the the answer is so no once let me just try to break it down very very quickly so there are a number of aspects to what is an arab and what is a philistine at this point.

we thought we can just try to stimulate gaza in the west bank you know obviously we want to create a very prosperous global regional environment israel's has a thriving economy imagine if silicon valley was cut off from the rest of california that's kind of what we have right now in the middle east so obviously some form of peace would create prosperity i think for israel but also for everyone else throughout the region but what we did is we put the majority of the projects in gaza in the west bank but then we also figured out what projects can we do in jordan egypt and lebanon to also figure out how to get those economies to start rising and better integrated as well so we see tremendous potential again people on this file try to be very skeptical if you want me to come up with the reasons why this is hard i can probably give you a longer reason list of reasons than anybody else but again our goal has been to try to come up with what is the best pathway forward how can we break this deadlock that's been here for too long and how can we focus on helping people make their lives and th

and the occupied west bank for more on this let's join that ibrahim our correspondent in ramallah and of course neither i mean basically the palestinian reaction was going to be angry but really what's the reaction to the workshop itself. so the palestinians are saying that any solution to the palestinian israeli conflict should include a political component we've heard from many people in protests and who say we're not seeking a better life under occupation but we want the end of it and they say that efforts at minimum aim to focus solely in economic prospects to solve to give people more money basically to shut them up we've heard the similar context from the palestinian ambassador to the u.k. . who says what that it seems that what's happening here is a property at least a deal with israelis get the properties where palestinians get the cash. from economic projects. they want because obviously one of the big issues in statehood. it's the top definitely and it's also ending the occupation having east jerusalem as the capital of palestinians so what palestinians are saying here that
