A stampede during assurer commemorations in the holy iraqi city of karbala. Nigerias military is accused of Holding Thousands of children captive in its fight against boko haram. So in the past u. S. National security advisor john bolton has been fired by President Donald Trump in a tweet the us president said he had numerous policy disagreements with bolton as date apparently others in the Administration Bolton was trumps Good National security adviser live reaction from washington in just a moment 1st our mike hanna takes a look back at both ends time in office we think the sanctions are biting john bolton was with the National Security adviser appointed by President Trump since taking office and hes the 3rd to resign after much speculation of imminent firing bolton brought to the white house decades of experience in Foreign Policy and a hawkish disposition that had never wavered. He served as ambassador to the United Nations under george w. Bush from 2005 to 2006 and use that position to continue to justify the u. S. Invasion of iraq that he had relentlessly advocated a few years before madam president he returned to the u. N. Alongside President Trump as National Security adviser during the General Assembly session last year and once again made his presence felt weve imposed very stringent sanctions on iran more are coming. And what we expect from iran is massive changes in their behavior around here certain National Security control of the u. S. Mission at the u. N. Effectively downgrading the role played by Ambassador Nikki Haley who resigned within months of his appointment what many diplomats say is that its very hard to get clear decisions out of the u. S. Mission to the u. N. At present and that is a probably because bolton and other members of the administration are fighting over what policy lines to take the secretaries. While the administration appeared united in its america 1st policy some differences began to emerge particularly with regard to north korea chairman kim asked for this meeting President Trump agreed with bolton adopted that take a toll leave it attitude to negotiations leading to north korean complaints that he was undermining the policy of dialogue at the catered by both President Trump and secretary of state mike pompei or the Iranian Regime has systematically pursued a policy of hostility toward the United States then the apparent moment of real division as hed done in years past a National Security adviser began to press for active regime change in iran. Characterizing the shuttle deployment of a u. S. B. To the region as in his words a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian Regime this at odds with the white house policy in which the focus was morning exerting economic pressure through sanctions. After weeks of discussion it was confirmed that additional troops would be sent to the region but numbering hundreds rather than the 10s of thousands at bolton was believed to be pressing for President Trump denied there was friction within his cabinet i think its fake ok now what i do that absolutely but we have that for that hopefully were not going to have to plan for that and if we did that would send a hell of a lot more troops and that the final straw perhaps a sardonic comment by a principal adviser to the iranian president who wrote in a tweet at real donald trump you wanted a better deal with iran looks like youre going to get a war instead thats what happens when you listen to the mr bush good luck in 2020 john bolton is now on his way out his mustache intact his dream of regime change shattered mike hanna aljazeera washington so National Security adviser is a pretty Important Role in this administration but no ones held it for long under donald trump in fact the 1st and far as the environment Michael Flynn retired Army Lieutenant general lasted just 24 days the shortest tenure of any security adviser in history he is awaiting sentencing for making false and fraudulent statements to the f. B. I. He was replaced by a master who is known for his roles in afghanistan and both gulf wars he lost a little over a year to be replaced by john bolton who youll remember was also u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations under george w. Bush alan fischer joining us from the white house to talk through some of this one aland and i dumped by tweet fired by tweet. Sort of classic donald trump style. Its pretty brutal though for donald trump i mean normally theres a thank you for your service we just decided to move on here it was we we just disagreed with them there were too many policy decisions that we didnt get on with and therefore he offered his resignation and i said yes no its interesting that donald trump is essentially saying you fired John Bolton John bolton is fighting back against that hes tweeted out saying that last night he offered his resignation the president told him it will discuss it in the morning and then the president put out this tweet john bolton this fall is calling a before news your favorite news channel 6 of the trumpet ministration to tell people there that he resigned he wasnt fired but this is a firing i mean hes out of the door hes gone no and he will be on his way out of the white house very soon it was always annoyed choice because donald trump has this american farce isolationist policy where is as mike hanna has been reporting john but was very much about regime change in north korea and invading north korea starting a war the regime change in iran and military confrontations with iran he was dead set against the idea of donald trump taking troops out of syria he was dead set against the idea of peace talks with the taliban even nor donald trump thought that was one way ahead so it was annoyed choice it was inevitable i guess with the benefit of hindsight that it was always going to end this way but this is perhaps the most brutal resignation weve seen an interesting lee enough john bolton isnt one to keep his own counsel we could well hear a lot from him in the coming days and weeks interesting to note as well that john bolton in the very airlie days of the transition between obama and donald trump when donald trump was casting around looking for people who would sit at the cabinet table he considered john bolton as secretary of state but ruled him out because he didnt fit the morals of what donald trump wanted business chief diplomat one of the reasons. He ruled them out was because of that mustache the theater indians talked about that mike talked about and he just thought it didnt need central casting in so that is why you didnt get the top job he was around the white house for a while as an informal adviser appointed in march 18th as National Security advisor and known as we are the door. Who would have ever thought facial hair would have been so important alan fischer there in washington thank you for that now some more developing news this is out of israel where Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has announced his intention to annex the Jordan Valley in the occupied west bank this is if he wins next weeks general election and yahoo said the trumpet ministrations socalled middle east peace plan would provide a historic opportunity for extending israeli sovereignty over the west bank and other areas. Of the mountain soon im asking you to give me the mandate to extend israeli law to all the settlements out of respect for president im waiting to do this in maximum coordination with his administration but there is one place where did diplomatic circumstances are ripe to do this very soon if i am elected i commit to next the Jordan Valley and north of the dead sea it is our eastern border our defense wall harry force that in west jerusalem with more on this one harry can you put it into context for us because it is Prime Minister netanyahu who is speaking but its very much in the capacity as a political candidate it. Thats right indeed the Prime Ministers office directed us to look could his ruling party when we were making inquiries about the statement before it happened it happened in the hotel very much under the could under the election banner and netanyahu has made similar pledges about annexation or putting israeli sovereignty into settlements in the occupied west bank before he hasnt put together quite such a detailed and and or dayshift really plan to carve out a huge swathe of the occupied west bank were talking about some 30 percent of the territory he put up a map displaying the proposed annexed area in blue with this this orange dot of jericho within that the palestinian city with what he said would be ways in and out the palestinians pledging not to annex a single palestinian but to make the most of what he said was an opportunity that might not come again for some 50 years however he did put this all at the at the behest of what happens after the election saying that he needed the mandate from israeli voters to make the most of the opportunity and that he was the man to do it not his political opponents nonetheless if this were to go through that remains a big if if it were to it would be an enormous upset of the current status quo the entire International Community just about says that whatever happens in the occupied west bank must happen as part of a negotiated settlement any vestige of the hopes of a viable palestinian state with such a huge area unilaterally annexed by israel really would would die in the fires of that and that is the message that were getting from the palestinian leadership weve heard from one and a shrug we see a member of the p. L. O. Saying that this is done in coordination with trump and with erratic. Any hopes of a peace plan barack at the secretary general of the p. L. O. Saying that this would be burying of any hopes of peace between the palestinians and the israelis so its very high stakes if it were to happen but there are important this is a lectionary it was seen very much in that context both by netanyahu is political opponents and it has to be said by the israeli media who broke away from the speech in mid flow when it became clear how much of an Election Campaign speech it was interesting stuff thank you harry for sit in west jerusalem now were going to continue our discussion with ahmed ahmed thats in the studio who is an assistant professor at the institute for graduate studies nice to see you harry makes a good point there isnt a that this is a very political move the t. V. Stations in israel cut away from it how do you think the people of israel would respond to this because if its an election or if hes obviously doing it to try to win support in votes its through i mean its a very very difficult time for. Me he wants to survive politically with all the Corruption Cases that. Hes surrounded woods so for him appealing to the. Right wing parties the. Most ideological fanatic voters the settlers for him i think this is his last got to play with if he manages to attack this august on his board he might have a chance to win the elections but again youll have a week i mean depending on the results of the elections we might see a week fractured coalition which will not enable him to at x. Jordan but so its all i mean in my opinion i mean its now its all Elections Campaign election promises election tactics for him to survive but again this is a this is a nickel patient powered by the student should be ready for this and im fortunate in this context were all just saying here talking about the prospect of an ex in this part of the west bank and things i mean its a completely unilateral move and not allowed. But look historically is that it has done this. In gaza in 2005 it unilaterally withdrew from gaza and look look look whats happening in gaza now gaza in utter disaster politically socially economically its an isolated in cleveland all the suffering gazans have to live with. They are capable of course of doing this of the respect he added as we talked to the west bank and you saw an extent doesnt add much to the reality because its still under Israeli Military control but however again since its in another move these ladies have to face an international dejection of this move because with the u. S. Support from support from india i dont think thats enough for them to get the legitimacy of such a move on the International Level the European Union will not let me just just pick you up on that story because there will be International Condemnation there there there already have but generally International Condemnation doesnt really amount to much does it because israel tends to with the United States backing to its places sadly i mean with the with the current with the Current Affairs of the International Politics and the war i mean yes is it always gets gets away with wrongdoing because of u. S. Protection milly but again. They need the larger ward they need european neighbors they need the russia china to also to live in this in this ward and to be legitimate in a way or another so i think that they can Prime Minister politician like that then you know how these are all elections tactic but the reality even if there is that if that happens and the annex there was bank i think this move will just be an israeli move by the americans and on the ground it doesnt mean anything because for me but the people are there on the land so what are going to do with the people so you still have what the israelis i mean there is going to happen in the game with this because no matter what they do the annex land they build more settlements the build the roads the cut off but as soon as of the let the philistines out of there theyre not going anyone and there wont be mass deportations done. Were done with these days so whats the end my question to this is themselves i mean what is your end game your end game is over the one state solution obvious that the pushing what it would that it wouldnt like it or they dont like it and i think from my readings also the large segment of American Jews who also approve dont like what netanyahu is doing and theyre questioning his logic and they just miss him it comes to this because hes killing any prospect for a state solution for this isnt the palestinians tom come out thanks for coming in to talk to us about this depreciated about him thank you.
