and palestine right like israel. this one wants to present itself as this beacon of the western world. it's a european settler colony that is surrounded by, you know, errands and we're not even seen on this thing is what we've seen as these. this is without again, national identity. i think this plays a huge role because automatically when we, you know, throw a stone in the face of oppression automatically. this is seen as skilled, and israel is reaction seen as more legitimate. and i think, you know, what you were saying about international law is very important because, and i have some form of optimism that all of this is exposed at the moment. but clearly there is a, you know, this, this massive hypocrisy when it comes to international law and the respect of it, as well as, as human rights that are supposed to be universal. and again, we're seeing here that suddenly international law is again at the center of uh, you know, the scene at the center of discussions in geopolitics. when, on the one hand, you see russia

it is identifiable for israel. they are borders to it and they've got incredible intelligence whether it's human assets. they've got satellites that pass over the area they're watching and they're collecting targets. they're adjudicating those targets as we discussed then there will be moments where rockets will fire. israel will determine whether or not it's going to respond when there are enough when the intended targets are seriousness crossed, right? what's in it for iran to instigate in your view these conflicts sort of every few years sounds like we're looking at something like this every few years. yeah. well first of all, it keeps the fire kind of burning which is in iran's interest. they want to try to kind of whip up anger against israel across the region again. i think we see it subsiding in the arab world, but it's still there. thanks to iran's efforts. they also there is a strong sense among is said i've talked to that iran would like to see how israel responds to certain kinds of rockets variants cert

they certainly have their own reasons for wanting to war against israel. with the help of iran and their abilities skyrocketed and of course iran has been the revolution which brought the islamic -- into power. they have made it their primary goal of than simply regime survival. one of their primary goals is the destruction of the state of israel and the endless terrorist groups to help them in that regard so hezbollah's another group you probably heard of in lebanon the iranian payroll and the islamic which operates out of the gaza strip and shiite melissa's and -- and the houthis in yemen and all of these are consolation is irene -- iran. >> this is what they call the crescent. >> is primarily from western iran into syria and into lebanon and could include the gaza strip >> in 2021 what sort of tangible resourcess was iran providing to hamas? >> it's a great question that has a somewhat more complex answer. >> always.ra >> there were those that said there were no iranians because there was nothing we could see were iran had only recently are bided x amou

and israel is also, and it's like being much smaller. it's also a country that takes it survival very seriously, and you are definitely not shy about striking targets on the country territory. and i think to some extent, israel's, of course, projection projection relies on its adversaries knowing that some sort of richer vision is inevitable. so i want to ask you whether you think that the drastic actions that she's now taking in ukraine is that there at least partially conditions on russia being has a, tend to flip all as to your math and for way too long. have russia reacted earlier and more forcefully when the current prices have been avoided? things it could have been by, you know, i'm really bi united states, paying attention to russian security concerns a or so by the huge, please. oh 1st oh crenan leadership and not understanding that there are certain anxious may go vocal russian sensitivities and day. as a result though, we have no, it will deny which is not the really nice thing. people lose their lives, cities i will destroy i

and israel is also is by being much smaller. it's also a country that takes in survival very seriously, and you are definitely not shy about striking targets on the countries territory. and i think to some extent, israel, of course, projection projection relies on his adversaries knowing that some sort of retribution is inevitable. so i want to ask you whether you think that the drastic actions that she's now taking in ukraine is that there at least partially conditions on russia being has a tend to flip all as to your math and for way too long. have russia reacted earlier and more slowly, the current prices have been avoided? doing things it could have been by yeah, i really bye bye not to states paying attention to russian security concerns a or so by z, hugh lease, or for 0 crane in leadership. and not the understanding that there are certain anxious may go vocal russian sensitivities. and day is the result though we have no, it will deny which is not the really nice thing. people lose their lives, cities, i will destroy it.

do you think israel will be the only country to, to draw? that's lesson or do you think there will be more countries that now? so relying on hooley, on, on the power of american deterrence. i think we see in the middle east to clear with development in that direction because americans are signaling or the so we have ministration obama come and does a by nurse questions that they don't want to be as a me please. they want to retreat and to focus on the chinese challenge. and as a result of that, is that going feels particularly among though, so that boy will do seen countries said so well the man was out the shield against the ha no, why don't i do so? and as a result of that, of course we see. and the alignment was, isn't and, but is, well, definitely has the self reliance. milton. from the very beginning, this is also a jewish experience. and i am at a disdainful, says a, you know, zone i, investor guarantees on up the world much. and her, i think, same king has made a mistake, hoping that the westwood intervene on our behalf. and despite g

israel: right. so beautiful. seymour: growing up in belarus, don't forget that that's soon after world war ii. so the country's just fully destroyed, nothing in the stores, and foraging is sometimes the only source of things what you want to use. very big category of foraging back in belarus was mushrooms. you can dry them. you can pickle, marinade. mushroom is a very good zakuska. it's a very good pairing with a shot of vodka. karl: a beautiful porcini rex-veris. seymour: i probably never had, like, a beauty like this with all my belarussian life. karl: what everyone's chasing that can never be found. four years for me picking the same, same little hillside. seymour: we didn't have morels in belarus, i think. at least, i didn't know out them. karl: you know, i follow a lot of foragers over in russia, but i don't see a ton of morels over there. bonnie: the freedom you have to cook beautiful food here because of the high quality of ingredients, i can't overstate that. some of the foraged ingredients of portland ar

security of israel. so it's all coming at a very difficult time, a prime minister with his project coalition that has begin to grow both. and he will have to at some point make a bold move. the question is, or when and how even though that is really no appetite under political level, to have a widening, a crisis here or down. thank you for that whole dr. hamid live for his say in television, let's cross over now to need a brain was in july may border crossing near janine in the occupied to west bank. tell us about what's happening lee, you are anita, and what does the closing of the border crossing actually mean? it means a lot as this is one of the locations where many palestinian is radius come to janine to shop. specifically that we're talking now about the holy month of ramadan . many come here and it has been helping that to these economy. it's also a place where thousands of palestinian workers cross into israel. the other checkpoint salem has been closed for a while. so this is the 2nd check point

a latest war between garza and israel. that permits that were granted to the workers and merchants from gaza to our work in israel has reached about 20000 since our september last year until now, by a ceasefire or quite overseas fire agreement. that was brokered by egypt. this has a lesson a little bit of the title measures that have that have been imposed by israel for so long on because the strip that has been also under siege more than 15 years now . and this decision coming now in a very vital time as we are approaching eat, the markets are filled with all kinds of foods. and people are waiting to are to come back. these workers, the merchant he regards, are waiting for these workers to return back with some money to actually buy the food, the new clothes, egg, and decorations for the eat. so it's a very a to actually flourish the markets of a little bit. it's a very important time for either people here in garza waiting for some economy flourish meant to improve their lives. we are, we all as a reminder, also for the

say that this is al jazeera, alive from the hall, so coming up israel says it hit can't fuse by hamas off or wrong through this 5 in the hall. so just closed in a small presidential election with nobel laureates was remo, thought us the this, the likely front runner and the digital security won't show, warms electronic devices of top partition officials, may be on the threats of buy software. ukraine says it's repelled the number of russian attacks in the east of the country . it's part of oscars. new don bass offensive dumped the battle for its forces, trying to push through defences in easton ukraine. after failing to capture, if the government there is describing it as a 2nd phase of the war, not the reporting, the next group, the lines go, buffet in the region, some ukraine's defenders repels 7 enemy attacks destroyed 10 tangs 18 ahmad unit. an 8 week old, one out of the system and a model unit, ukraine's air force has hit $7.00 a day before one plane for you, and to close beside the 4 with someone with, as i said back in 2016. if they step on our land, let them come in, they'll s

it was fired from the strip toward southern israel. a mass is threatening to retaliate against his reactions at the lock. so most compounded occupied east jerusalem poles have closed in the final round of east timor's presidential election. the regions newest nation has grappled with political instability in recent years. and the 2 ran off candidates blame each other, nobel laureate, was ever, i'm a sorta receive 46 percent of those in the 1st round is up against incumbent francisco guiterres. the next leader will be sworn in on the 20th anniversary of east timor's independence in may. jessica washington is following developments from jakarta, so any indications about who's leading in the 2nd round? well, i mean not at this stage. we do expect counting to start at around 10, g. so in coming out and that is expected to take around 3 days. we could of course have an indication of who is in the lead depending on the progress of counting in particular districts. as you noted in the 1st round of the elections, joseph ramos horta put up a st

do you think israel will be the only country to, to draw? that's lesson or do you think they will be more conscious that they'll stop relying on hooley, on, on the power of american returns? i think we see in the middle east the clear with development in that direction because americans are signaling or this. we have ministration. obama tom and there's a by nurse questions that they don't want to be them. it is they want to retreat and to focus on the chinese challenge and as a result of that. so those are going feels particularly among those. so that boy will do seeing countries said so will remain without a shield against the hon. no, i do. so is, and as a result of that, of course we see and the alignment was excellent. and, but is well definitely has this self reliance doctrine from the very beginning. this is also a jewish experience. and i am at a disagreeing false as a you know, 09 fit after guarantees on afterwards much. and i think same king as made a mistake, hoping said so, westwood intervene on our behalf and despite goes ahead,

to israel pay it forward. well, even with the harsh words, israel is not budging, at least for now. and it's also following saudi arabia by increasing its economic ties to china as it benefit from the belt of initiative. so is this just the beginning of countries turning to a world power like china, which is seen as offering stability and comparison, washington's turbulent, and could the tide returning even for the closest and u. s. allies in washington? rachel blevins are g germany. chancellor sholtes has pledged to country will phase out russian, coal and gas this year. as he laid out a plan for the you to drastically cut its reliance on russian fuel, vandalism, indigo disgust at 1st. ling up, awesome. we will need a little longer regarding gas. we're working very hard to create new infrastructure to be able to transport gas and pump it into the european network from ports on the northern germany coast. this will be beneficial not only to ask, but too many other countries. it will also send a last message to the russian president, the essential basis of his economic justice model

so i dealt with israel. so someone quite cleverly, to my detriment, came to the realization that maybe i would be the best candidate, knowing both sides of this equation. mr. rubenstein: he didn't go on ancestry.com to see if you had any jewish blood or anything? mr. magierowski: no, no jewish ancestry at all, but i have always stressed the importance of this particular geopolitical triangle -- warsaw, washington, and jerusalem. i should have said tel aviv, but also washington and -- mr. rubenstein: where is your embassy? mr. magierowski: in tel aviv. mr. rubenstein: you speak how many languages? mr. magierowski: it fluctuates. i will tell you why. according to people who have much deeper expertise in this field that i do, you are usually capable of speaking between four to five languages simultaneously, and at the same level of fluency. now, i am forgetting hebrew at a vertiginous pace. even though i had not been using this language, i am physically and mentally for a few months -- mr. rubenstein: english,
