bank do you foresee even further settlement expansion in the west bank. i think the plan is clear that israel is going to set aside if there is not exempt as if indeed even a plan is not accepted. meaning in 4 years from now no meaning now because the palestinians haven't accepted the plan so as far as they're concerned there is no plan. well but israel i believe is going to accept the halting of activity within the areas designated for the palestinians we have given the palestinians 4 years to absorb the plan and hopefully to change their minds lead their people to a brighter future 4 years is a long time for that to happen that's why i think this plan is not only bold and courageous it's quite historic former advisor to donald trump a middle east envoy jason green black thank you for joining us. thank you very much . now in other news libya's u.n. recognized government says it has shut down an emirati supply drone in western libya which is being operated by forces loyal to the warlord had before have tied government troops i making further advances into

bank the occupied west bank this is internationally recognized palestinian occupied land the palestinian basic demolish our state along the $167.00 lines that is the entirety of the west bank that is gaza and that is east jerusalem as its capital not pockets of east jerusalem not pockets of the west bank and also you know if you look at the geography when it comes to here in gaza in the west bank there is talk about the potential tunnel underground to connect the 2 we're going to have to look at this plan fully but certainly i can tell you that the palestinians are not happy about that this is we've already hearing it now from some of its leaders so it is a plan that as the palestinians have been saying for a very long time is one sided. ok stephanie thank you for that stephanie forests in gaza let's get some more palestinian reaction and speak to me a brain who is in ramallah in the occupied west bank palestinian leaders were reacting even before this ban was made official before it was unveiled what can we expect from them now. they are meeting currently in the presidential headquarter

bank and east jerusalem essentially this is a redrawing of the west bank border we believe in what this would mean is that the israeli border would now encompass some of those jewish settlements inside the west bank now we're also hearing that there would be in this proposal some form of israeli security control that would remain inside the west bank now apparently this is going to be implemented over a 3 year timeline that there would be a series of benchmarks that the palestinians would have to meet in terms of not only new political measures but also are we now seeing a violent sensually we don't know is how this would handle some of the competing land claims ministration of holy sites in jerusalem what we do know is that what we're hearing so far is that this does seem to fall short of the international standard or goal which would be to have a separate and independent palestinian state now we are expecting to hear the full details of this plan when the president presents it president trump alongside the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that set to begin in about an hour's

bank with abbas of course i mean we knew that they had rejected this deal but really speaking about some of the details jerusalem and the fact that now in the eastern part of jerusalem rather than east jerusalem would be the capital of a state what have you made of what the president has been saying. the main thing that we can take out from this speech is steadfastness and international law what he means by that is that the palestinians are ready to negotiate but only under the terms and standards of international law of course the us has recently announced that it no longer views the israeli settlements in the west bank as league it which is something that is still considered illegal under international law under the 4th geneva convention it's not allowed for an occupying power to move its citizens to an occupying state or territory so he talked about international legitimacy and willing to talk with the israelis to be in a negotiating table under those terms of course the issue of the capital is one of the main core issues that palestinians have been talking about for years trump

area sees the area which is under civilian control by israel of the west bank. you see less and less land that is available for of people if you look but it's not just the land it's also the national narratives of both israelis and palestinians have gone in very different directions if in the early ninety's late ninety's early 2000 people were enthusiastic about reaching out to each other and having joint projects and working together now there's a trend to not talk to each other. and this is very dangerous and thirdly i think very importantly is the continuing level of violence which undermines the basic trust between people and also undermines the ability to return to negotiations and hence on this really side i've hardly met an israeli who doesn't believe that end of the peace process. doesn't end up in more violence for them for the israelis and i've hardly met a palestinian who doesn't believe the move the peace process ends up in more losses for the palestinians of loss of land or loss of dignity it makes it a very complicated situation and i will admit th

the occupied west bank. well the timing of the middle east plan just before a 3rd israeli election in less than a year was seen as a boost for benyamin netanyahu campaign but its effects could start being felt in the occupied west bank well ahead of the march the 2nd poll are a force that explains. the days benjamin netanyahu had been talking up the prospects of a historic opportunity for israel with a plan unveiled he spelled out what that opportunity was for an accession thanks to you mr president these areas and so many others that for millenia have been searched in the soul of the jewish people and in far the imaginations of millions of people around the world and across the world these areas will now be recognized by the united states as a permanent part of the jewish state. the places in question israeli settlements in the occupied west bank considered illegal under international law for so long seen as a major obstacle to peace now greenlit by the trumpet ministration to be recognized as sovereign isr

administration for more on the reaction from the occupied west bank let's bring in . she's joining us from i believe just outside one is really settlement talk us through how all this news has been filtering down onto the ground in the occupied west bank. we are standing here near better settlement which is a huge well confrontation point between the palestinians and the israeli army they have a checkpoint that has been permanently posted here for a couple of years we have a close by settlements in the settlement called by itself usually the palestinians would come to this location to voice out that anger of course this is not the only location we had protesters in bethlehem in the west bank as well as others who went to the jordan valley defying an attempt by the israeli army to prevent the 2 army has closed off some roads trying to bring it to prevent protesters from reaching the place now in the place or in the location where we are standing right now the situation remains called at the moment we've spoken to some palestinians in the streets regarding that the acti

of the occupied west bank and see jerusalem as israel's capital palestinian president. but we did not find anything new compared to what we heard 2 years ago it is sufficient to say that 2 years ago we heard the jerusalem is the undivided capital of israel as claimed by them we cannot wait and wait and keep our position has not been after we heard this and we say no no no to the deal of the century china has agreed to experts from the world. to help increase understanding of the. chinese president has told the visiting chief that he's confident of defeating what he described as a devil virus the death toll of the supposed 136000 infected. demonstrators are calling for a change to the. coal and fossil fuels. in the coal sector republican leaders in the us do not have enough votes to block witnesses. democrats charged with abuse of power. in the upcoming u.s. election. has been set up to 15 months in prison while she's investigated for corruption. allegations that she accepted more than a $1000000.00. during the 2011 presidential election. 3 children have been killed in a

and then brain al-jazeera the occupied west bank daniel levy is the president of the u.s. middle east project which is an independent policy institute he says the plan represents israeli dominance not a 2 state solution this is america taking in his ray proposal and translating it into an american position but it's worse than that it takes what ostensibly looks like what a local peace agreement might look like and raps into that an act of aggression very close to a declaration of war all the palestinians it is not intended to advance peace it is intended to force the palestinians to say no to depict palestinians as rejectionists and to allow israel to pursue with greater pace and greater support israel's own unilateral plans it's a very dangerous cynical and aggressive move israel retains control everywhere israel agrees to take on itself not to do things that it didn't intend to do anyway like this question of jerusalem those neighborhoods which israel doesn't want to be part of jerusalem because it's put them on the other side of the wall it is magnanimously saying or th

the occupied west bank. joins us now live from the occupied east jerusalem bombing we've heard the rejection of the political level we've heard the rejection from the palestinian street as well but are you picking up anything there this just they may be some negotiating room e they may be something that could be salvaged. stan in short when you speak to palestinians here the answer is that this is a complete nonstarter the answer is that the palestinians gave their response to this from day one when it was announced back in 2017 that this plan was being worked on and that it's only gotten worse since now let's go over just a couple of points that are in donald trump's plan one of them being that israeli settlements in the occupied west bank which are considered illegal under international law 'd that they've now been greenlit by the top of ministration to be recognized as sovereign israeli land and to that end we've been told by prime minister benjamin netanyahu is off is that he plans to take that as you to

also coming up palestinians in the israeli occupied west bank demonstrate their opposition to president trumps peace plan but international reaction is more cautious. and a welcome for israel's president but a warning for the future why even the berlin addresses the german parliament to commemorate the victims of the holocaust and calls for vigilance against resurgent anti semitism. i'm sorry welcome to the program hundreds of foreign nationals are being evacuated from move on the chinese city at the center of the corona virus outbreak more cases of the virus have been confirmed in china and the death toll has risen to more than $130.00 australia says that its citizens who are being brought home will be quarantined on an off shore island at 1st some airlines including british airways have suspended all flights to and from china. for 206 japanese workers based in this was a most welcome britain. a flight that brought medical supplies to the chinese province fighting to contain the corona virus delivered them back to safety in japan the 1st of some 650 japanese citizens to be repaired tri

bank border redrawing that border between israel and the west bank we're being told to incorporate jewish settlements already inside the west bank into the broader israeli border and also that there would be a retention of some form of israeli security control inside the west bank now the timeline we're hearing for all of this. about 3 years that there would be some benchmarks. the israelis expect the palestinians to meet in terms of renouncing violence new political measures but again no clarity in terms of what those measures are exactly what this does seem to indicate that what we're watching carefully is that it seems to fall short of the international standard of a fully independent state for palestinians a plan company as you say that spain the long awaited i mean we've been talking about this since donald trump came to office and a plan that's been crafted by his son in law and special advisor. that's right gerrard cushion or as we know has had and take part of this for quite some time we remember many months ago that he tried to take almost an economic real estate type approach to

tear gas fired in the west bank as israeli troops respond to palestinians protesting trumps peace plan netanyahu has dubbed it the deal of the century but people here are adamant that they want to accept it. it does not give us any of our rights as palestinian people and therefore we reject the deal of the century we want the right to return we want to just solution. deal of the century has been totally rejected and it's a shame for anyone trying to support it. it's places like this the turkey part of the controversy jewish settlements in palestinian territory they're viewed by palestinians and the international community as illegal but still would allow israel to annex them something many of the saints there is here would support. it give security to the settlements and give security to israel if they implemented as it is written there will be fewer terror attacks less danger on the roads and also from an economic point of view it will move us forward. donald trump has been pushing ahead with policies supportive of israel my vision presents a win win opportunity for both. a realistic

or sane palestinian for that matter no i definitely plan as an analyst in the west bank thank you for your time. but with more reaction we can go to our correspondent in tel aviv now paula good to see you what's the attitude towards the deal in the middle east. what we have heard from the palestinian president mahmoud abbas with the resoundingly no no no saying that jerusalem is not for sale and that this proposed peace plan can be put in the dustbin of history he's lent. support to palestinian cause for there to be a boycott of american goods and for any kind of american signs to be removed from buildings and institutions both in the gaza strip and in the west bank take a listen. dear friend we heard a little while ago from president trump and prime minister netanyahu talking about with a cool deal of the century which we described as the slap of the century we will say 1000 times no to this proposal. now we've also heard from him us who rules the gaza strip and they have said and i'm quoting that statement was aggressive and will spark a lot of anger they say that his statements reg

bank at some point next week what are we to make of that. yeah i mean you're absolutely right that and that's something we keep hearing from the palestinians we've been speaking with today here in occupied east jerusalem they don't see what was presented yesterday as being a pathway forward for negotiation they see it as being an edict and they've said to us today the ones we've spoken with that look it was clear that the palestinians had rejected this when they 1st heard about it in 2017 and yesterday when the plan was presented their reaction was a very swift no and they say that's not going to change so they don't believe there's any pathway forward now for negotiation to the point as far as the prime minister trying to present this plan of an exciting israeli settlements in the occupied west bank we have heard yesterday from the prime minister's office that he planned to do this right away that he was going to do this at his cabinet meeting on sunday well today there are reports emerging and israeli media quoting likud officials and they

apply israeli sovereignty in some areas in the west bank. clearly the trump administrator has gone out of its way to support mr de niro in his quest on the other hand trump him so as we see the number one issue the news cycles dominated in recent weeks and days by the impeachment process in the beach and trial in the senate and obviously wishes to deflect some of the attention of the impeachment to issues like foreign policy where he's perhaps is seen stronger and also play to his base the community of perhaps more conservative jews who would support him in his 2027 percent organic is in town as well and i guess this is being released in part he's a rival to prime minister netanyahu in elections that are coming up is there any difference between those 2 with regard to what this potential deal might look like . guns met mr trump yesterday and after his meeting flew back to israel so he's by now back in israel he's done can participate in the events taking place today in the white house jones did welcome the trump plan some elements of it but

his proposals offer israeljerusalem as its capital and recognition of its west bank settlements. palestinians are offered cash and a truncated territory threaded between settlements. the authorities in hubei, the chinese province at the centre of the outbreak of a new respiratory virus, have reported a further 25 deaths. across china, the total number of infections now stands at almost 6,000. the world health organization said stopping the spread of the disease was its top priority. the united states says it is disappointed at britain's decision to give the chinese telecoms company huawei a limited role in the development of its 5g mobile network. the government in london said huawei would be excluded from sensitive sites, including military bases and critical infrastructure.

yet protests continue in the west bank 6. well political correspondent kate brady got reaction today from your gain hearts he is a member of the german parliament and foreign policy spokesman for chancellor merkel's conservative c.d.u. party. so had donald trump has described this deal as the deal of a century what's your opinion. one of the biggest challenges we have in security issues is to find a solution for peace between israel and palestine. i appreciate that the president stays to the 2 state solution but i am afraid that probably some of the demands he mentioned towards palestinians concerning the territories will not. open the door for negotiations and unfortunately every new attempt on a peace process which is a failure at the end might increase frustration on both sides and maybe increase the confrontation and not decrease and therefore we have to be is very careful with such proposals so which elements of this proposal do you think could realistically be implemented at 1st glance it seems that mr netanyahu is bein

the occupied west bank. trump's middle east plan is already having an impact on the final weeks of israel's election campaign benjamin netanyahu is presenting it as a victory for his premiership his main rival benny gantz is promising to bring the entire deal to a vote in the israeli parliament are a force that reports from west jerusalem this is historic and this you became the 1st world leader to recognize israel's sovereignty over areas in judea and samaria that are vital to our security and central to our heritage the soaring music and off camera voiceover had all the hallmarks of a campaign video promising israeli sovereignty in the occupied west bank but for benjamin netanyahu a day after what he had turned a history making event in washington the breaks have been at least momentarily applied he had promised to hold a vote in cabinet on sunday on an exciting the jordan valley and illegal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank but the united states is now making it clear that it wants further coo

bank in east jerusalem essentially a remapping of the west bank that will include folding in those israeli settlements already in the west bank into the broader israel proper border now we're also hearing that there would remain some form of israeli security control inside the west bank and that this is expected to be implemented over a timeline of roughly 3 years and during that time there be a series of so-called tests the palestinians would have to meet in terms of benchmarks for example renouncing violence and also coming up with new political measures so this is what we are hearing we of course are awaiting that press conference in the diplomatic room where the u.s. president will be presenting this plan alongside the israeli leader benjamin netanyahu thank you for the moment at the white house let's go to gaza now and stephanie deca the palestinian authority has rejected the plan even before it's unveiled and some palestinian stock option stephanie had called on protesters to turn out for a day of rage in the territories tell us about what's been happening in gaza where you are. that

bank and turkey against washington's bed to resolve the israeli palestinian conflict the palestinian president has vehemently deny the proposed deal saying it is skewed in favor of israel a term called it a win win solution my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides. a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to these real security. because we're going to have a vote. it's a great one proves room. it's a great plan for peace. plan is a nonstarter for palestinians because jerusalem would be israel's undivided capital and israel gets ultimate control over security and most palestinian resources palestine has to be fully to militarize getting a $50000000000.00 aid package would be barred from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without israel israeli approval either now let's take a look at the map here palestine would consist of the west bank over here and down here at the bottom of the screen gaza as well and you can see it's disjointed and almost entirely enclosed by israel it would be connected by roads and tunnels

palestine would consist of the west bank here and down here gars almost entirely separated from each other there would be a connection via roads marked on the map provided here by these lines and also by tunnels and bridges signified by the circles here they of course yet to be built the palestinian state would get a capital that in theory lies on the outskirts somewhere up here of east jerusalem no precise location and no as yet named the us ambassador to israel claims it doesn't matter that palestine has been checked in the deal at the moment it doesn't matter what the palestinians say we're going to keep this option open for them for 4 years that's what we want israel is committed to negotiating a 2 state solution with the palestinians over the next 4 years even if the palestinians rejected in the short run. as i just said the palestinian state in theory gets capital on the outskirts of east jerusalem all the sleep has more. well the reaction has been overwhelmingly negative we've heard from the palestinian president mahmoud abbas saying a 1000 no same with the palestinian people

bank and turkey and rage to washington's actions the palestinian president has flat out rejected the deal saying it's biased towards israel although trump insists it's a win win solution. my vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides was. was a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security it was going to have. it's a great plan for israel. it's a great plan for peace. plan for jerusalem to be israel's undivided capital is already a nonstarter for palestine israel would also get ultimate control over security and most palestinian resources palestine would stay fully demilitarized and israel could destroy any facility for production of banned weapons palestine would be barred from security or diplomatic arrangements with other countries without israeli approval but it would get a $50000000000.00 aid package palestine would consist of the west bank and gaza almost entirely separated from each other they would be connected by road represented by lines on the map and tunnels and bridges shown as circles most of which have yet t

now palestinians in the israeli occupied west bank have been demonstrating against president trump's middle east peace plan trump unveiled the proposal alongside israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on tuesday the palestinian president has rejected the plan but international reaction has been cautious with saudi arabia saying that it appreciated trump's efforts under the plan palestinians would gain statehood but give up large tracts of land jerusalem would be the undivided capital of israel but with parts of the city's east reserved as a palestinian capital. tear gas fired in the west bank as israeli troops respond to palestinians protesting trumps peace plan netanyahu has dubbed it the deal of the century but people here are adamant that they want to accept it. it does not give us any of our rights as palestinian people and therefore we reject the deal of the century we want the right to return we want to just solution. deal of the century has been totally rejected and that's a shame for anyone trying to support it. it's places like this the turkey part of the control for sea

coming up palestinians in the israeli occupied west bank demonstrate their opposition to president trumps peace plan but international reaction is more cautious. and a welcome for israel's president but a warning for the future israel's reuven rivlin addresses the german parliament to commemorate the victims of the holocaust and called for vigilance against resurgent anti semitism. and the new 2 at the top of the co-directors of the berlin international film festival announced this year's lined up they promised me more even gender balance and a 3rd of the films are directed by women. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program hundreds of foreign nationals are being evacuated from will call on the chinese city at the center of the corona virus outbreak now more cases of the virus have been confirmed in china and the death toll has risen to more than $130.00 australia says that its citizens who are being brought home will be quarantined on an offshore island at 1st and some airlines including british airways and the tons are have suspended all flights to and from china. for 206 japanese workers

bank west bank and that's ahead of the unveiling of u.s. president donald trump's middle east peace plan israeli prime minister netanyahu is in washington along with opposition leader benny gantz where they've been meeting president trump together they're expected to present his long awaited peace plan in a few hours time while details of transfer postals remain secret there has been speculation that it could give israel the go ahead to annex the jordan valley that's a move that analysts say is sure to fan the conflict with the palestinians. the jordan valley in the occupied west bank the area running along the jordan river bordering jordan is to teach you can be important for both israelis and palestinians the photo area is home to israeli settlements palestinian villages and many farms. this is very peppered from your version is waiting to hear more about president trump's way forward. we don't need any one delay on a peace plan having said that we trust president trump and prime minister netanyahu that they will strike a good deal. expec

bank absorb a maximum out of palestinian west bank territory but a minimum amount of its of its inhabitants of its palestinian happens and so i think you know despite this by trump saying is a need for fresh thinking actually what the americans have presented are basically the sort of long running plan that the israeli settler movement has being promoted for the last 50 years it seems that unlikely that anyone who put this plan together and knew the palestinians would ever think that the palestinian side would accept it and also the optics of the way it was presented with president trump and benjamin it and yell standing right next to him it almost made it. impossible for any palestinian leader even if they were even thinking about accepting the or to be able to accept it why do you think they've done it that's the $1000000.00 question i think it's quite clear it's quite remarkable when one listens to the rhetoric coming out of the trump and ministration. that this idea that regardless of whatever the. listings may choose to do whether they accept this so-called state or not it doesn't real

by protesting across the occupied west bank and in the gaza strip president of the palestinian national authority mahmoud abbas has rejected trump's proposal as a conspiracy they did it bring him has more from the occupied west bank. as soon as the announcement of the middle east plan came from washington palestinian protesters took to the streets of the occupied west bank in gaza.

the border since the 1967 war, in yellow, is the occupied west bank. and this is the new peace plan's map. israel would surround a palestinian state, control a corridor along the jordan border, including the jordan valley, and the homes of 97 % of israeli settlers in the west bank would becomeof israel. the international community considers those settlements illegal, and palestinians call the jordan valley the breadbasket of their future state. t netanyahu used the announcement to launch unilateral annexation in the west bank, which he referred to using biblical names judea and samaria. prime minister benjamin netanyahu: israel will athly its laws tjordan valley, to all the jewish communities in judea and samaria, and to other areas that your plan designates as part of israel.re nick schifrin:dent trump said the u.s. would accept that, changing decades of u.s. policy. president donald trump: and the united states will recognize israeli sovereignty ov territory that my vision provides to be par iof the state ael. very important.

bank and gaza out of security concerns. we discussed terms latest proposal with middle east experts from different sides of the conflict this has nothing to do with the deal has nothing to do with the palestinians has nothing to do with international law has nothing to do with the un resolutions has nothing to do with the agreements already signed by the palestinians and israelis the united states recognizes the said israel didn't recognize the state of palestine and so in other words until the united states recognize the state of palestine along that idea 67 borders would do so as of capital i don't think there is room for any negotiations over anything that's why if the united states want to make amends with this they've got to they have to come to common ground according to international law it's called along the $9067.00 borders that's the issue between the israelis and the palestinians here at a whole campaign he's going to put america 1st all he's doing is trying to incite more division more problems and more chaos in

bank in the past barbara there's been a lot of apathy particularly in the west bank when it comes to mobilizing the people a lot of people will tell you in gaza in the west bank in east jerusalem palestinians just i was talking to this morning and he's true some saying we don't want to palestinian state they're so upset with their own leadership but also you know mahmoud abbas being mocked doesn't have a lot of support people also blame him for being in the weak position that they find themselves in so i think you know it's very difficult times and certainly this plan is offering 0 hope to the palestinians and more importantly the palestinian people. stephanie decker with that analysis from gaza stephanie thank you go to harry force that now who is in west jerusalem i guess for israeli reaction harry that seems obvious we've known from before the plan was was announced that the palestinians are going to reject it so what is israel going to do now with the plan that i guess it has negotiated with the u.s. . well the 1st thing it seems that benjamin netanyahu wants to do that is to ena

bank and gaza out of security concerns. we spoke to moustapha barghouti head of the palestinian national initiative party and dr moore the hike from the big inside out center line university and they gave us the very different reactions to this. it's not even an american it's actually. an american envelope the reality is the possibility of 2 state solution by substituting the potential for listing with. ghettos. as you can see in the map that mr trump has published it creates a situation of domination of one nation over another that ignores 1st of all historical facts ignores the rights of the palestinian people ignores the most. an unfeeling of all the people in this region so in my opinion it's an act of recklessness and it cannot continue and palestinians will never accept it we cannot accept to be slaves of a system of occupation and that is the exact description of what apartheid look historically joslyn was never any capital of any arab islamic state so why do they need also then why can they have a mullah or while ou

the occupied west bank. troublous middle east plan is already having an impact on the final weeks of israel's election campaign and netanyahu is presenting it as a victory for his premiership his main rival been against his promising to bring the entire deal to a vote in the israeli parliament are a force that reports from west to east this is historic and this you became the 1st world leader to recognize israel's sovereignty over areas in judea and samaria that are vital to our security and central to our heritage the soaring music and off camera voiceover had all the hallmarks of a campaign video promising israeli sovereignty in the occupied west bank but for benjamin netanyahu a day after what he had turned a history making event in washington the breaks have been at least momentarily applied he had promised to hold a vote in cabinet on sunday on an exciting the jordan valley and illegal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank but the united states is now making it clear that it wants further coordi

apply israeli sovereignty in some areas in the west bank. clearly the trump administration has gone out of its way to support mr minturn you know in his quest on the other hand trump him so as we see the number one issue the news cycles dominated in recent weeks and days by the impeachment process in the beach and trial in the senate and obviously wishes to deflect some of the attention of the impeachment to issues like foreign policy where he's perhaps is seen stronger and also play to his base the whole community and perhaps more conservative jews who would support him in his 2027 percent organic is in town as well and i guess this is being released in part he's a rival to prime minister netanyahu in elections that are coming up is there any difference between those 2 with regard to what this potential deal might look like 1st of all guns met mr trump yesterday after his meeting flew back to israel so he's by now back in israel he's duncan participate in the events taking place today in the white house jones did welcome the trump plan some
