The canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called a federal election for the 21st of october opinion polls indicate it will be a tough race for trudeau who seeking a 2nd term in office weve put more money in peoples pockets by cutting taxes for the middle class and raising them on the wealthiest one percent we stop sending child benefit checks to millionaires so we could send more to the single parent working 2 jobs and to the family of 5 that falls a bit short at the end of each month we made the canada pension payment plan stronger because in a country like ours seniors shouldnt struggle to make ends meet. More on this one with our correspondent daniel lack in toronto. This was an election that Justin Trudeau had to call according to canadas fixed to term election act but what wasnt clear was when he was going to do it whether read up for a Long Campaign or a Short Campaign in the event hes going for a 40 day campaign that means a little over a month for him to get his message across to the canadian people hes deadlocked in the polls with the conservative leader a rookie a conservative leader andrew shear so his his game is really going to be uphill at this point but he knows this territory well in 2015 when he won a majority he was actually in 3rd place against a conservative incumbent at the beginning of the campaign the issues are the environment Prime Minister trudeaus carbon tax which basically splits the country between those who think its the way to combat Climate Change and those who dont the economy canada is performing well on the global stage economically joblessness is down and incomes are up but its also increasingly expensive and hard for Younger Voters younger people to buy themselves a house and to get started in the economy and finally its the Prime Ministers personality and conduct that will also become an election issue hes been embroiled in a couple of scandals some of which have dragged him down in the polls and when he came to power lets not forget in 2015 the whole world saw him as a transformative figure a man with a kind of halo around his head well certainly among canadian voters that faded somewhat as they see the real more gritty politics that hes been part of but those polls are tied canadian voting patterns are unpredictable so 40 days from now well know the answer but its not clear at all at this point whos going to win this an Egyptian Court has sentenced the head of the Muslim Brotherhood to life in prison for conspiring with hamas along with 11 other top members put in jail the sentence the last of several imposed on mohammed but they last week he was given a life sentence on charges related to prison breakouts in the 20 a live an uprising thousands of members of the Muslim Brotherhood have been arrested since the ousting of former president mohamed morsy.

China has summoned germanys ambassador for welcoming a prominent hong kong activists to joshua wang met germanys foreign minister was seen by many as the leader of the Hong Kong Protest Movement china is calling the meeting distressed disrespectful interference the german chancellor Angela Merkel though says she wants an open dialogue with china about human rights more on this one from frankfurt with john mccain. The Chinese Government has reacted angrily to the news that the German Foreign minister whos social democrat. Has met an activist who had been in custody in hong kong. But flew to berlin its worth pointing out that angle americal had the similar opportunity to meet this activist but declined but mr massey did not the chinese reaction as i say is one of anger summoning the german ambassador in beijing to a meeting to account for germanys actions because the Chinese Government considers that hong kong although being part of one country 2 systems that the affairs of hong kong are internal affairs within china and therefore not something that foreign governments should involve themselves in certainly this is an embarrassing moment here in germany because the 2 parts of the coalition the christian democrats of the center right american side and the social democrats heikal masses cybil they are part of a grand coalition interesting to note that mr massey chose to meet this activist worse angle america when offered the chance declined that question will be what happens next in this an aria.

They clashed over iran north korea and afghanistan now donald trump and john bolton have parted ways the u. S. National security adviser has been al stayed from the white house so what does that mean for u. S. Foreign policy this is inside story. Hello im in ron cowen and welcome to the program he was the longest serving u. S. National security adviser under President Donald Trump but that wasnt enough to save him just like his predecessor john bolton has been tweeted out of the white house bolton was known for his hard line stance against countries like iran and north korea and he disagreed with the president over Foreign Policy most recently on afghanistan he opposed trumps plan to bring members of the taliban to camp david to sign a peace accord those views led to the president firing him although bolton says he resigned so what does this departure mean for u. S. Foreign policy and is there anyone who can hold on to one of the most powerful positions in the White House Well speak to our guests in a moment but 1st reports from washington. Youre going to do a fantastic job and i appreciate you for that and that there had been growing divisions between john bolton that his boss but the end was brutal even by the standards of this white house donald trump tweeting i informed john bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the white house i disagree. Strongly with many of his suggestions as did others in the administration therefore i asked for his resignation which was given to me this morning bolton tweeted not the usual thanks for being able to serve but an insistence he quit rather than being fired at a news briefing at the white house which bolton was initially listed to attend stephen secretary of state might pompey defended the president s decision the president s entitle to the staff that he wants that at any moment the staff person who works directly for the president states and he should have people the trust and values if there were many times in basketball that i disagree thats to be sure but thats true for lots of lots of people who with whom i interact john bolton was dont trump start National Security adviser the longest serving so far but with his stated positions of using military force in iran and north korea he was annoyed fit for a president whose isolationist america 1st policy wanted to reduce the u. S. Military footprint reason only told him was against talking to north korea against pulling u. S. Troops out of syria and against the president s latest idea of inviting afghanistans taliban to peace talks at camp david that seems to have been the breaking point we have seen from this and from every other firing that what he really wants are people that echo what he already wants to do and with boltons opposition gone there could be obvious changes for example that theres a better chance the president will meet with his a really encounter part president made very clear is prepared to meet with no preconditions before he became President Donald Trump considered john bolton for the role of secretary of state but ultimately decided against it because he felt he didnt look the part mainly because of his mr bush now after 18 months as the National Security advisor john bolton once again finds that his face doesnt fit alan fischer aljazeera at the white house john bolton joins a long list of white house employees who go to chop toms a 1st advisor retired army. General Michael Flynn lost in just 24. 00 days the shortest tenure of any security adviser in history he was replaced by h. L. Mcmaster known for his roles of honest on both gulf wars the last just over a year other high profile departures include the former secretary of state Rex Tillerson the secretary of defense jim mattis who lost along the most holding his position for more than 2 years and then theres also former white house chief strategist steve bannon and former f. B. I. Director james comey to name just a few. Lets bring in our panel joining us from washington d. C. Joined jones former senate National Security director under former National Security adviser Chuck Schumer from birmingham on Skype Scott Lucas founder and editor of in a world view and professor of Political Science and International Studies at the university of birmingham and also from washington d. C. Janet venue president and c. E. O. Of the truman National Security project welcome to you all to the program id like to begin with john jones in d. C. 1st in many ways this is been a very extraordinary relationship between the 2 men between john bolton who has been seen as being very hawkish very angry towards iran particularly north korea and wanting to take direct action and donald trump who has a shall we say a more mecurio nature when it comes to Foreign Policy now its clear that the 2 men have disagreed and the disagreement has led to john bolton either resigning or being pushed at the white house depending on who you believe but the question i want to ask you mr jones is is this a chance for the u. S. To reset its Foreign Policy and to become much more united rather than have these big differences that weve seen in the past. Its very interesting in iran right now the United States Foreign Policy establishment is at a crossroads within the Republican Party you have those individuals who support a pro isolation policy for the United States government and those who support a pro intervention policy for the United States government right now it seems that the pro isolation wing or element within the Republican Party is winning but the pro intervention element within the party is highly numbered and its just too soon for this debate to end john bolton at the end of the day was a someone who had a very forceful arguments and made his criticisms aware to the president and it appears that it probably started out with the links with leaks to the media but whether youre serving a president a United States senator or any political principle your criticisms once they become public then youre no longer going to be one to or needed whether in the white house or in a u. S. Senate office lets bring in jenna. In d. C. There is this you all human to be made once the president has decided on a direction for Foreign Policy even if you disagree with him you should probably try and make policy was john bolton really didnt seem to fit into that camp today. No he didnt and that is not a 1st for john bolton and its true as john notes once you get out of step with your boss its either to put you know your time is to put up to shut up there arent a lot of options here at this point what we need to be looking at moving forward is that who is going to be the 4th National Security advisor and just 3 years thats not a recipe for a talent were looking at destroying options and the path forward is really uncertain at a time when john bolton has really been quite effective in dismantling the National Security council but you know i have to say this this president particularly likes people he knows he understands money from the Business World it has to be said a lot of key positions of filled with people hes known for a very long time always looking at a National Security adviser the mayor will come from a small circle of people and not the wider Foreign Policy circle of people in d. C. And hes not a threat. Well its possible but lets think about what this job entails youre really pulling together the department of Homeland Security for which there is no secretary the director of National Intelligence for which there is no head nor is there a deputy really its a hollowed out National Security establishment it requires a lot of nuance a lot of inner Agency Coordination and a tremendous amount of sophistication and expertise trouble at this point would be really hard pressed to find somebody who meets that criteria and its likely that hes going to get somebody whos a real yes man to him and thats a problem and its not a good path to peace jones owns a another yes man in the white house is that healthy. What you want is someone who is going to provide the best analysis and advice to the president especially with all of this serious National Security challenges that we have gone on today i dont think we want to lose sight of the fact that in many ways in his own right john bolton was rather successful someone who started as a in turn of the Nixon Administration worked in legislative affairs in the Reagan White House very political in nature and he was successful in terms of his goals which probably did not align in the with the long term goals of this president in terms of getting the u. S. Deeply involved into venezuela. Put pulling the United States out of the Nuclear Agreement with iraq and lastly taking steps to in every way shape and form and what would have been President Trumps potential meeting with representatives of the taliban at camp david that was probably his swan song at the end of the day so in his own right his goals were met but those werent the goals i believe that mr trump and most importantly when you look at the National Security adviser position theres not going to may not going to be many to choose from who at least within the u. S. Foreign policy establishment who may be. Lining up at the door to work in the Trump White House but rest assured that i may not be very long but there will be a lot of those pretty in school luke is here from your outside of the washington Foreign Policy in a world shall we say. There is a lot of conversation going on right now where people are wondering what the u. S. Is Foreign Policy actually is is it serious you have a 30 year old now whos in charge of whos now the middle east effectively the middle east peace envoy berkovitz who used to be a coffee boy. You have no National Security adviser right now the president says he will appoint one in the coming week. Youre looking at disarray. From the outside is that something that youll seeing are you seeing a white house that has no real leadership has no real agenda. I dont just see it live through it each day well let me make 2 points for john and jenna to consider it with their own marks about where u. S. Foreign policy is the 1st is that the primary goal for a trunk Foreign Policy is Donald Trumps ego it makes no sense to make talk about a coherent u. S. Foreign policy when you talk about on russia that a lot of the agencies want to take a tougher line with a lot of reports but donald trump embraces him on north korea where the north koreans continue to pursue a Nuclear Missile program but dont up once a photo opportunity of kim jong un on iran or the u. S. Pursuing maximum pressure at this point with sanctions but donald trump wants to get another photo opportunity if not with the Supreme Leader with the iranian president Hassan Rouhani and perhaps most importantly were Donald Trumps opinion about alliances they go about 70 years is dictated by the idea that whether its the europeans whether its the japanese the South Koreans theyre all out to rip off the United States and the 2nd point on top of that is if its Donald Trumps Foreign Policy its also a family and friends Foreign Policy as you just pointed out now apart from a trump loyalist like mark might come peo who is secretary of state you really are talking about a Foreign Policy coming from someone like an unelected and largely inexperienced advisor and im sure questioner who is Donald Trumps son in law and who now has tapped as the new u. S. Envoy to the middle east including the israel palestine issue and even less experienced 30 year old man of your commits this is not Foreign Policy as weve known it for decades whether we agree with that policy or disagree with it this is simply a roller coaster ride because donald trump wants this as he does his business for the sake of donald trump well lets get reaction so that they begin with a venue to in d. C. Will it heal thinking. Yes scott you make a great point this is not the way the business is done this is not the way to strengthen our alliances and this is not the way to keep america safe and as we stand here today in washington on september 11th 201918 years after the attacks on this nation we are confronted with a National Security establishment in disarray and the people it really affects the most are the American People because when there is not that kind of coronation when the best advice and analysis is not put forward before the president nor is it even considered remotely that puts the American People at risk and what were talking about 18 years later is setting up a scenario in which the same kind of intelligence failures could befall our country and thats really serious to say nothing of the 2 wars of choice in iraq and afghanistan that have yet to come to an end joins in d. C. Is ego over analysis. Well more so than ego more so than analysis we have to look at the fact especially on 911 when we. Take a moment to kind of step back and understand it was an attack on all americans it was also an attack on our democracy and what we have right now with the Foreign Policy is a result of a democratic election and the challenges that this nation faces are very very serious but its also going to be incumbent upon those in the Foreign Policy establishment to be able to communicate not just 2 leading actors within the Foreign Policy establishment or leaders but the everyday American People to really get them to understand to grasp how serious these issues are that were facing today and why its so important that we have policy policymakers and elected leaders will put policy makers in place who can deal with the challenges of today not just the National Security challenges of today but also the economic challenges that the United States has happens to deal happen to deal with in terms of china if you look at china for years you know the American People have been complaining about the trade issue with china there are many who do not agree with mr trump policy as it pertains to china but many every day American Voters in philadelphia pennsylvania in scranton pennsylvania in dayton ohio they support mr trump standing up to china so i think the biggest challenge today is how Foreign Policy leaders communicate to Everyday Americans who actually will and will help elect the next president the United States to understand just how serious the challenges are and why we have to have leaders and policy makers in place who can meet those challenges the term the Silicon Valley loves disagree more and thats exactly what were doing is all around the country trim in many areas and 16 chapters yeah just to add on johns point if i may and thats exactly what the chairman National Security project is about is about bringing up the next generation of. Thought leaders in this space but also activating people in their own communities and we need to understand all levels not just outside of washington that everybody is a Foreign Policy voter whether or not he or she realizes because all of these decisions are impacting whether its the the cost of a washing machine as we see is the result of trumps trade wars of choice or the jobs that people have the ability of people to come here and work all of the stuff matters to the American People about the keeping people safe and keeping them prosperous but talking to people and ways that they can understand about what is really at stake here because the stakes could not be Higher School i want to bring you in here there is a term the Silicon Valley loves disruption donald trump seems of very very disruptive in the unusual take on u. S. Foreign policy however this isnt about just iran north korea this isnt about venezuela there seems to be an underlying Foreign Policy dont trump is obsessed with this china china china is this the real thing that donald trump wants a concentrates on its this idea that china is now the enemy and Everything Else is is a destruction. Well i partly agree with you i think china is certainly a focus of the trump ministration in part because donald trump wants someone that he can front up to and say you know im the master of the art of the deal ill make them surrender but in part because a very hard line economic advisors like Peter Navarro like robert litan hisor who really dont see a win win economic world these days but treated as a win lose but the reason why i say only in part is its not just china number dolphins trade wars have been extended to canada and mexico to south korea to japan and indeed to the European Union and one of the big stories that i dont think will matter as much to us voters but matters us to hear the ok its all dolled up as the visors of trying to weaken the European Union in part by supporting Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister to get a harder even no deal right so why is that important because that us European Alliance which is arguably but at the bedrock of interNational Security since the 1940 s. Trump and his advisors have no belief and partly because trump egotistically doesnt like european leaders but in part because he has certain hardline that is whether you talk about a shared coach and whether you talk about a Steven Miller who actually believe that europe in effect is no longer a trusted equally United States but should take its place as a follower who keeps its voice down. Dungeons in d. C. We used to talk at the very beginning of this administration about dont trump having adults in the room those adults seem to have gone and now hes surrounding himself with with people with either very little experience or as a says with a hardline agenda is that anybody that can read rein in this president and his thinking or is they simply he is going to do what he wants and hes going to tweet what he wants. No i believe mr trump has said very early on that he is the decider in chief and that he will listen to people perhaps discuss issues in front of them but once he makes his mind up hes not going to be just swayed in any direction and he doesnt take very kindly to dissent i think mr bull in the biggest challenge is look you have National Security advisers all the time where difficult relationship with this i could carry a state or the treasury secretary other senior officials in the and their administration but i believe mr ball in relationships with senior officials in a minute in the administration became toxic going back to what the other guest said in terms of europe the European Union many people dont agree with donald trump policy doesnt pertain to the European Union or his support of Boris Johnson but you do have another a large group of americans who read the wall street journal Financial Times and look at what they perceive to be an unbalanced relationship in terms of the European Unions. Treatment of American Companies whether its American Tech Companies whether its american cosmetic companies in terms of what they perceive are unfair tariffs and if you look at this particular constituency they may not like President Trump but they do feel that the u. S. Trade relationship has been on balance and President Trump has been pretty good at taking advantage of that sentiment sentiment to achieve his own particular goals whether there are goals that are aligned with u. S. Foreign policy or just his particular goals that have to do with his popularity theres a sentiment there mr trump has been able to put his finger on it and hes also been very good at it at basically being able to do certain things or tweak certain things when he does this he understands that hes going to get a reaction that is almost incensed whether its from the media. Whether its from other Party Leaders or whether its from the Foreign Policy establishment and it every time he does that he actually achieve his goals and he is doing what he set out the do let me just else the question the to scull its is a president who seems the think they his farm policy is successful they he has made successes as me nope you know ive doll trump is a demagogue and indicted appreciate johns in a really really interesting want but at least from my perspective i think we have to get away from saying that double trumps twee lee eats at hymns 3035 percent of the base follow and the rest of us are caught up with or in other words i want to go back to the door earlier point john a gentle make which is that you have to i think all of us whether in the media academics analyst and geos activist communicate in our communities and so luck trade worse dont help trait worse hurt you whether your concern were whether your manufacture a whether youre a farmer tearing up alliances are d. Stabling allies on its as like nato or with a asian partners are not helpful and bracing watt im a poet and trashy your own intelligence agencies russias pursuing a very lets say aggressive Foreign Policy is not stabilize and and on key issues like Climate Change which include all of us rather than paying attention in following his tweets which sense its all hoaxed weve actually got to politely but i think very firmly site this is the way we want to go and that means i think we have to take it be on the personalty politics that we will have today a trump versus bolton both of these paos are do you stabilizing in dangerous bolton because its too confrontational and double prost because its too unpredictable and frankly void of any coherent fought 10 a ben yehuda in d. Say lets get your reaction do you think this president has a play on no he doesnt have a plan his plan is to get as much attention on television as possible to create spectacle diplomacy which is not diplomacy supported by the analysis and actions and activities and relationships of the departments that report to him this doesnt make america safer nor does it make america more prosperous when america pulls back from these alliances whether they be political alliances and security alliances like nato whether its the European Union whether its the Transpacific Partnership or trade deals around the world what it means is that the world goes on without the United States and it means that u. S. Interests are not being voiced what were actually talking about here is the u. S. Pulling back from rules and order that the u. S. Created and so the notion that doing so would somehow serve the us is own self interest is preposterous at a time when were also trying really trampling on the democratic norms that this nation has held dear for decades lets not forget that the over whelming consensus for much of u. S. Foreign policy over the last 50 years has actually been fairly bipartisan in nature this whipsaw whos in whos out is distracting and it obscures the broader point that what were really talking about here is a retreat of American Power from the world at a time when alliances are rupturing the world over there is a trump here theres a do territory and we are outside lee general that im going to have to disturb you that i want to thank guests join join scott lucas and jenna been outta and thank you to forging you can see the program again any time by visiting a website aljazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our Facebook Page at facebook dot com forward slash a.

President donald trump issues a warning to the Afghan Taliban on the 18th anniversary of the 911 attacks and searching for survivors the bahamas government says 2 and a half 1000 people are now registered as missing in the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian. Im Barbara Starr in london with the top stories from europe including another blow for Boris Johnson a Scottish Court rules that the u. K. Prime minister a suspension of parliament was unlawful. And its for the usa suffer a shock to face at the basketball world cup that same time defending champions knocked out in the quarterfinals by france. So iranian leaders of welcome dont trust decision to sack the National Security advisor john bolton President Trump said bolton had fallen out with other Senior Rights hed made mistakes now irans president Hassan Rouhani says the u. S. Should use the opportunity to quote push war mongers aside from tehran in a moment 1st this report from how to deal hamid. The world has breathed a sigh of relief that was irans 1st reaction to the part of u. S. National security advisor john bolton irans foreign minister zarif said the United States thirst for war should end along its war monger in chief president has an rouhani adding it should also reconsider its outlook towards iran only americans have to realize that warmongering and warmongers and not to their benefit they should not only abandon warmongering but also abandon their marksman pressure policy they had been growing divisions between john bolton and his boss and how to deal with the iran was one of them bolton stated openly his position on using military force against iran position at odds with a president whose isolationist america 1st policy wanted to reduce the u. S. Military footprint around the world bolton was against most of trumps decisions when it came to Foreign Policy he was against talking to north korea against pulling out of syria against any engagement with the iranian leadership and against the president s latest idea of inviting afghanistans taliban to peace talks at camp david that seems to have been the breaking point but the end was brutal even by the standards of this white house though will trump tweeting i informed john bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the white house i disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions as did others in the administration therefore i asked for his resignation which was given to me this morning bolton treated not the usual thanks for being able to serve but saying hed quit rather than being fired. At the news briefing at the white house which bolton was initially listed to attend secretary of state mike bump ala defended the president s decision the president s entitle to the staff that he wants that at any moment a staff person who works directly for the president states and he should have people they trust and values if there were many times in basketball that i disagree thats to be sure but thats true for lots and lots of people who with whom i interact and with boltons a position gone they could be obvious changes for example theres a better chance the president will meet his iranian counterpart presence made very clear its appeared to me with no preconditions President Trump said he will announce who will be his 4th National Security adviser next week his choice will give an indication in which direction he wants to steer his Foreign Policy without the hemi aljazeera. Lets have a look at the iranian reaction not also jabari has more on that from tara. The reaction is to be expected to be reined in officials dont really see a major change with the john bolton in the u. S. Policy towards iran secretary of state my pompei o announced only a few hours later on tuesday evening a new series of sanctions on irans revolutionary guards outputs force the rain ians have said that this is just another example of their us the maximum policy pressure that they are putting on iran to try and get them to come back to the negotiating table of course the u. S. Has said that since they withdrew from the nuclear deal last year theyre trying to get the iranians to come back and renegotiate the steel and since then theyve imposed a series of sanctions on iran and that is what iranians are calling economic terrorism and they are saying that until this kind of policy this behavior stops and the sanctions are lifted there is absolutely no way you would see a meeting taking place between u. S. President donald trump and his or a new counterpart the rains have said that this kind of behavior is not conducive to any kind of dialogue. Will john bolton told. Us president is promising to hit the Afghan Taliban harder than ever he made that comment at a ceremony to mark 18 years since the 911. 00 attacks. Also just days after he canceled peace talks with the turnabout over the killing of a u. S. Soldier. From washington d. C. Its a summer day in the United States the 18th anniversary of the september 11th attacks and the president did what president s do on this day as he gave a speech of this time at the pentagon memorial and he talked about the war in afghanistan though in the past the president has raised seemed to raise the possibility that he could use Nuclear Weapons to end the conflict saying that he could end the war in just days but he didnt want to kill 10000000 people he didnt specifically say that would be with a Nuclear Weapon but it doesnt seem possible that it could happen any other way and again at the pentagon memorial he talked about the peace talks breaking down. With the taliban and whats next we had peace talks scheduled a few days ago i called them off when i learned that they had killed a Great American soldier from puerto rico and 11 other innocent people they thought they would use this attack to show strength but actually what they showed is unrelenting week. The last 4 days we have hit our enemy harder than they have ever been hit before and that will continue now its not at all clear that the pentagon and the military has really stepped up the fight with the taliban they havent provided any statistics that anything is in fact changed in afghanistan the president is in a predicament because he promised his base that he would end the war in afghanistan if he wants to actually increase the fight change the momentum hes going to have to send more troops into afghanistan and thats something he doesnt want to do so the president saying that if the tax had been stepped up not at all clear that they have been and not at all clear what comes next move into the news in a pledge by the israeli Prime Minister to illegal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank has been widely condemned the arab league called the move and aggression it says it would torpedo the foundations of peace in the region jordans foreign minister iman safadi called the plan a serious escalation and hes warning it could push the whole region towards violence and his iranian counterpart described the move as a cynical attempt to win reelection it bring him as more now from in the Jordan Valley. Were standing in brasil always a village in the Jordan Valley this really Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he wants to annex this area he doesnt want to annex that area over there jericho at the old job because he says he wants to complete and carry out his plan without annex in any single palestinian but there are palestinians here bedouin communities weve spoken to some of them and they believe that what netanyahu is saying is part of his elections campaign. Every time they have is really elections they do it at the expense of the Palestinian People netanyahu says i want to annex a Jordan Valley so israelis will vote for him not more common is that over the how many terms will leave it to the palestinians have been displaced several times already theres no place else for us to go the Jordan Valley makes up one 3rd of the occupied west bank its already under Israeli Military occupation and palestinians see it as an integral part of their future palestinian state now this is under threat this is why many palestinian officials have been voicing concerns against netanyahu to mark they are saying that netanyahu has this regarding International Law only for him to win more votes theyre calling it an act of ethnic cleansing stealing Palestinian Land and killing any opportunity for 2 state solution and we spoke to my stuff about to go to the secretary general of the Palestinian National initiative called the move by israels Prime Minister a potties. In my opinion what israel will do similar to what they have done in jerusalem when their next jerusalem in 1968 the not annex the people. They made them temporary residence in their own city and then they did everything they could to ethnically cleanse the city and moving people gradually. Israeli plan is clear and acts in the west bank and then trying to push palestinians out of the bank but thats their dream and i tell you what what is happening is subjecting the population of the west bank like the people of jerusalem and gaza to a system of apartheid what we see here is a system of full fledged apartheid we will not leave whatever they do and i think the actual outcome politically of whats happening is that we will we the palestinians might have to turn and say ok if you dont allow us to have a state of our own we will ask for a one state solution full democratic rights for everybody which means that state will not be jewish one and that state has to be shared by the 2 people and a palestinian could be the head of that state we will have a long struggle against apartheid to bring down apartheid in the whole of palestine that is the reality of whats going to happen the World Community is not doing anything we dont want more condemnations or statements these things do not affect mr netanyahu if the World Community is really serious about 2 state solution they have to impose sanctions immediately on israel for violating the very basic International Law.
