Sanctions. A Prime Minister in tears ethiopians mourn the loss of military leaders killed in saturdays failed rebellion in the north. Now an opportunity of the century thats how senior white house adviser jared krishna is describing his 50000000000. 00 economic plan for palestinians and the wider region he thinks it will pave the way for peace between palestinians and israelis bought cushion a once a palestinian leadership to accept what washington is willing to offer he was speaking at a conference hosted by bahrain where several regional leaders are present the Palestinian Authority those boycotting the event in israel is not invited. My direct message to the Palestinian People is that despite with those who have let you down in the past tell you President Trump and america have not given up on you this workshop is for you the vision we developed and released if executed correctly will lead to a Better Future for the Palestinian People a future of dignity prosperity and opportunity you can change your course for the positive if we are willing to try new things and think outside of the traditional box rather to correspondents on this job in the in jordan in washington 1st and its good to read matheson who is our correspondent in gaza and we knew that the palestinians were known in the least bit interested in getting involved with the plan but weve also had some of the leadership coming out and speaking as the conference got underway. Martine even before we got a question or got up to speak whos leader of the hamas group which controls gaza is making a very impassioned statement in front of a group of 5 out of the in leaders here in gaza city basically reiterating once again that as far as the palestinians were concerned that an economic solution was to this situation was not possible unless there was a political solution already in place in that speech he said things like that any money raised as part of this plan was poison that it was there to undermine the palestinian cause he said that the buck cream conferenced has been born or in that day because it contains the seeds of its own failure lets listen to more of what he was saying. The Conference Held at the moment in bahrain is a political conference with an economic coverup it is totally a political event with the financial and economic camouflage simply for the reason that this conference and the deal called the deal of the century is aimed at achieving the following 1st to lay the foundation for terminating the palestinian polls 2nd giving the green light to the zionist enemy to extend its occupation and control over the entire west bank. He also had an additional and quite interesting it done them to this the speech that he was making which was that he put out an all for all of working together to live leadership of the fatah Political Group now the 2 groups have been separated and have differences for about 13 years that was ever since hamas took over gaza from the fatah group that time and he was suggesting to the leadership of 5 said that this was the time for the 2 groups to come together to be to form a united Palestinian Government in the face of this plan this was being put forward by the u. S. Of course we havent yet had any response from to that but clearly ive determination that palestinians at least as far as hamas is concerned are going to stand firm and will not accept anything that comes out of the can the conference in bahrain right thats an Interesting Development then real business because that is something that underpins in many peoples opinion underpins the problems for the palestinians in that is the rift the only growing rift between hamas and fattah. Thats absolutely right and part of the political process that was to go forward is to try to find ways of mending the rift because quite clearly there would only be a method of actually making this plan or any other plan work if there was a political solution which also included some way of bringing both and hamas together this is an interesting offer thats been fruitful but forwards by. Now interesting the heat the palestinian factions of also called for more protests in a run to gaza tonight were expecting a march to be held tomorrow morning widens to morning thats going to be from the u. N. Building here in gaza city up to the main square but were also expecting protests at the border with israel now up until for the for the last few weeks those protests have been fairly calm but theres an interesting to twist to all of this because just in the early part of today israel said it was going to block supplies of fuel getting across the border to the gazas only power station now if that happens and we end up with power cuts and significant loss of power in the next few days then those protests might escalate well just have to wait and see all right rob thanks for that rob matheson live in gaza now we can get to wrestle in jordan shes in washington d. C. And rose this is a very important part of what has become the signature certainly for jared. Son in law but also a very important part of policy coming out of the white house. It is a very important piece of policy coming out of the white house its notable that this is something that. Was assigned to work on from the moment that his father in law became u. S. President and early 2017 of course what is noteworthy is that it basically ignores the 4 tenets of trying to resolve the Israeli Palestinian dispute or conflict but has been going on for the last 40 or 45 years looking at the legal status of jerusalem and defining it once and for all dealing with the fate of Palestinian Refugees and their descendants trying to figure out how to create a palestinian state alongside that of israel along the preone 967. 00 borders with the green land swaps and also dealing with the issue of Israeli Security its one of the basic tenants of this discussion mr kushner was a bit dismissive of those tenets that have really been at the heart of International Negotiations carried out by the United Nations and more specifically brokered by the United States in recent decades and it really does have raised the question how do you get private businesses private entrepreneurs to be willing to put in billions of dollars into territories where other people who would a stance of billy benefit do not have the full legal control in order to allow these businesses and ventures to flourish with you know in a in a in a legal and busy moral istic way so this is a situation where the palestinians are arguing that this is really putting the cart before the horse as it were and its also notable that the israelis arent there because regardless of what might be coming out of the Prime Ministers office in jerusalem there is still this tacit recognition and acceptance. These 4 basic tenets that these issues need to be resolved in order to see the growth of the Palestinian Economy all right reynolds thanks for that roslyn jordan washington correspondent thank you very much well theres a huge Palestinian Refugee population in neighboring lebanon and our correspondent zain the honda has been speaking to some. The children of the 948. 00 Palestinian Refugees now living in lebanon theyre taking part in this demonstration to protest the conference taking place in bahrain which is this causing the trumpet ministrations middle east Economic Police plan people here are angry because they believe the trumpet ministration is pushing for a peace settlement that does not involve their right to return these refugees have been living in exile for 17 years now and they believe any solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict house to involve the rights to return to life is very difficult here they live in urban camps in very dire conditions and so the feeling here or the message from the retina jesus that palestine is not for sale no matter how much money you offer us we are not going to give up our rights to return home i was you know the whole of. The deal of the century in the rejection to the buffering summit eccles the thoughts of every palestinian around the world we stand behind the Palestinian National leadership and its decisions we say no to the deal of the century palestine will not be sold we cling to our right of return to palestine we claim to the land of our ancestors this is our right till the end of time when. The deal of the century is not new for the palestinians are 5 who continue whether they agree or not we dont care about whats happening we have men and refugees in europe and all around the world and they will never let go of palestine everything thats happening now is nonsense our weapons are pointed at the zionist enemy and palestinians feel the United States is not an honest broker and they believe that its alliance with israel means that any settlement that they propose will be tilted in favor of the israelis and the question they ask here is that if they care so much about our Economic Conditions then why dont they live to see. On gaza and why did the u. S. Administration decide to cut funding to the United Nations relief and works agency i know which is the only organization providing help to these People Living on the host country is also not attending the back room conference in solidarity with the palestinians lebanese officials fear that the deal of the century of the socalled deal of the century will involve naturalizing and resettling Palestinian Refugees in the host country something that this country says it will not accept. Right to iran which remains defiant after the u. S. Faced new sanctions targeting its top leadership including the Supreme Leader ayatollah ali how many terror on says it will go ahead with his plan to reduce its commitment to the 2050 nuclear deal despite the increasing pressure from washington and the u. S. National security advisor john bolton hes warned that all options remain on the table if iran continues to spew its new clear ambitions. He has more now from the iranian capital tehran. In his 1st public appearance since iran shot down a u. S. Surveillance drone last week president Hassan Rouhani did not hold back he said the latest sanctions targeting irans Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei are the irrational actions of a confused government already know it they are suffering from mental disability the white house is afflicted with mental retardation and doesnt know what to do. The Supreme Leader occupies such a protected position in public life that in iran insulting him is illegal in the u. S. Applying pariah status to someone so highly revered has angered leaders into iran but of. Iran bangle obviously has not only the leader of iran he is the leader of iran and those who love the revolution and all muslims shia and on sheo all around the world irans leader doesnt only belong to ron many people in lebanon syria iraq of gonna see. Pakistan kuwait and everywhere shia and non shia love him follow him and obey him and someone who has lost his mind does such a stupid and strange thing and for. Iran is under such sweeping sanctions that the latest american move is entirely symbolic but later this week washington has said it will add irans foreign minister zarif to the sanctions list attacking the countrys top diplomat is something to her and says permanently closes the path to diplomacy main enemy if youre being honest and want to negotiate simultaneously do you want to impose sanctions on the foreign minister so it is clear that you are lying as the u. S. Continues its Pressure Campaign russia has vowed to help iran counter new u. S. Sanctions if. Iran has been and remains our ally and partner and we consistently develop our relations both bilateral and multilateral which means any attempt to portray tehran as a main threat to Regional Security or to bring it into line with isis or other terrorist groups is unacceptable to us. But some u. S. Officials remain undeterred the president has held the door open to real negotiations to completely and verifiably eliminated Irans NuclearWeapons Program its pursuit of Ballistic MissileDelivery Systems its support for International Terrorism and its other malign behavior worldwide all that iran needs to do is to walk through that open door. On tuesday foreign minister zarif said once again irans religious views mean it will never pursue a Nuclear Weapon and he also reminded people that america is the only nation to ever drop Nuclear Bombs on another country and World Leaders want cooler heads to prevail and washington keeps saying that it wants to calm things down through dialogue but the decision to sanction irans Supreme Leader is something so insulting that for to her on it might make a negotiated solution nearly impossible. Well president has been on twitter the latest tweet is irans very ignorant and insulting statement put out today and he shows that they do not understand reality and the attack by romney on anything american will be met with great and overwhelming force in some areas overwhelming will mean obliteration no more john kerry and he finishes.
