And mexico and argentina are trying to ensure latin america doesnt have to wait in line once a vaccine is developed. Palestine is recalling its sun back to the u. A. E. After the immorality government struck a deal with israel to normalize relations the agreement was announced by u. S. President donald trump who helped broker the deal as part of the agreement israel will suspend but not scrap plans to annex palestinian territories alan fischer reports from washington d. C. It was perhaps unusual that the president of the United States would announce a treaty between 2 other countries but thats what happened in the oval office this is a truly historic moment the president said he brokered talks over the past year that brought what will be no one as the abraham a court to be signed by the United Arab Emirates and israel at the white house in the coming weeks this deal is a significant step towards building a more peaceful secure and prosperous middle east i decided the u. S. Ambassador to israel and his son in law a Senior Advisor jerry kush know his middle east peace plan was released in january and he played a key role in this new a court i would like to say to the people of the region muslims Jews Christians and this does give hope that the problems of the past do not condemn you to a future with a conflict there is a lot of hope and a lot of potential and this will benefit you and this will also benefit people here in america as part of the accord israel will suspend but not cancel plans to an exporter of the occupied west bank speaking to aljazeera Mustafa Barghouti said if there was a peace deal it should have been with the palestinians this. Is nothing but a step in the back. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu had earlier cheered the Coronavirus Task force meeting of his government but left abruptly telling those present youll soon find out why but while speaking in jerusalem he will be aware he may leak Political Support domestically for shelving an existing plants. Little additional interim President Trump put the annexation into east peace plan those who criticize me should know i said time and again that an exaggeration only be made in accordance with the United States without that it is worthless and it will damage the settlements so they have been. Discussions of various levels between the u. A. E. And israel for years it seems now each was preparing the ground for this announcement from the official twitter account of the ear leader mohammed bin ziad a simple statement during a call with President Trump and Prime Minister netanyahu an agreement was reached to stop further is really an exception of palestinian territories the u. A. E. And israel also agree to cooperation and setting your roadmap towards establishing a bilateral relationship the idea is that both leaders will visit the white house in coming weeks to sign the deal with Donald Trump Center stage he obviously believes that this will help in the run up to the president ial election in november but rarely are american elections this cited by events abroad particularly during a Public Health and financial crisis alan fischer aljazeera at the white house. Well needed abraham is in ramallah where she says people feel betrayed. Weve heard from the palestinian president s spokesperson that dana here read the statement on the palestinian t. V. Just now saying that the palestinian leadership has met and considered this decision by the you we have betrayal to jerusalem and the palestinian cause he said that this is a blow to the Arab Peace Initiative and all the resolutions that have resulted from the arab and islamic summit namely because the Arab Peace Initiative talks about normalizing relations between israel and the arab states with only after israel and its occupation and. This is considered an acknowledgment by the u. A. E. That jerusalem is the capital for israel this is something that many palestinians have denounced especially when the u. S. Has decided to recognize truth to them and has moved its embassy and for many palestinians in the street they would tell you that theyve lost faith a long time ago in the arab regimes that that a brutal murders that they are going to be helping them on the contrary they feel that theyve been left out alone by these regimes but they still believe that the our nation is for them its important to note that many here fear that other are of an islamic states my folder. In the White House Briefing later on thursday President Trump said he thinks palestinians will see peace when more countries make deals with israel. I think the palestinians will without saying it necessarily i think they very much want to be a part of what were doing and i see ultimately the palestinians see peace between israel and the palestinians as i see that happening i think as these very big powerful wealthy countries come in and i think the palestinians will follow and Shihab Rattansi joins us live now from washington d. C. Shop so how important then is this deal for President Trump i mean he likes to seem self thats the big deal make a dozen e and now he gets his chance to show that he can broker these Big International deals. And the next 3 weeks according to President Trump hell finally having the signing ceremony on the white house floor and between 2 once implacable foes rule together by the power of dollar trumps dealmaking the real estate deal maker is now unleashed on the International Community and hes being bringing peace and harmony i mean thats kind of what he what we understood he wanted for some time and it didnt quite work with north korea didnt work with iran but hes got the u. A. E. In israel now to come to make to sign just signed that deal in a way reminiscent of jimmy carter and bill clintons signing ceremonies to i have to say well its becoming clear in the last few hours its not just important adult cushioning to son in law of middle eastern values that we had a briefing with him a few hours ago and hes saying look this is all part because of my deal of the century and hes clearly aware that right now hes going to go down as a failure he was a very cerebral middle east peace by the end of the 1st term but he said no no no this is all happening in these other supposed regional deals because of my deal of the century because of my pragmatic approach his approach has always been forget about history forget about International Law forget about selfdetermination the palestinians to just accept a huge bribe of billions of dollars and accept a nice life and then he said to the younger pattersons in particular will go for this because you know that you know they and his arguments a few hours ago was when regional leaders saw that the palestinians was rejected that they went oh you see what the palestinians that right theres no point waiting for the palestinians theyll never accept anything that start making deals ourselves with with it with with israel so thats his argument its directly from the deal of the century and we keep hearing this very same question and from trump just an hour ago the pitch to the arab world muslims in the arab world you see you want to pray at the mosque in jerusalem if you leave it to the palestinians you will never how will put unity to do this but see the u. A. E. U. A. E. Is certain it is possible if you if you go with bilateral deals with it with israel forget about International Law and palestinian selfdetermination just ignore the palestinians basically is there is a question of model no and she had to respond so weve seen then from joe biden and does this fact into the president ial election in any way. Biden welcomed it he said biden heris by the hunters Harris Administration will seek to build on this progress and there are reasons why biden will be very happy about this hes dodged a bullet there is a low level civil war underway in the Democratic Party everyones united against trump but its a fight about what it even means to be a democratic President Joe Biden has made it clear in the fight over the Democratic Party platform it means cosseting israel basically and theres a fight with a progressive when you said no wait a 2nd joe biden is personally intervened its reported to take the word occupation out of the Democratic Party platform hes made it clear that the u. S. Embassy would return to tell of eve from jerusalem if hes elected hes made it clear despite all the progress of calling for that israels 4000000000. 00 of aid will remain sacrosanct unconditional no matter what they what they do come out despite what you may have heard was over the other stop in the face in this in this debate for progressive also many reasons in the middle east in debate common iris really close to a pack the far right wing israeli lobby even as a pack smears politicians of color within the Democratic Party women of color and the Democratic Party really would tell you but you know my pac actively involved in spearing them no problem come out iris shes going to go lots of Photo Opportunities where shes smiling broadly and getting money from from that from their members if netanyahu to go ahead with this on. Which biden publicly has said hes against biden would actually have to do something and he would be cool bridge between those not mainstream liberal corporate one percent of the of the if the Democratic Party you say wait you could go into israel and that progressive it would have exploded and now he would have to make a decision so hes pretty happy about this deal too i would think all right so she had the towns he live in washington d. C. Thank you lets bring in trita parsi hes executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute for responsible state crotty joins us from reston in the u. S. State of virginia so it didnt take long for iran to condemn this deal saying look the u. S. In the fire of zionism what does this deal mean for iran how is terror on looking at this. Well obviously iran is not going to particular favorably towards this and in some ways it is a problem for the iranians that the israelis are normalizing relations with iran as neighbors while he runs own relationship with those states are still in it and a pretty bad state but on the other hand i think the iranians may also see a Silver Lining in this which is that the u. A. E. And israel had a very close relationship with quite some time given the fact allies for quite some time but the u. A. E. Has kept it somewhat under the table and quiet and as a result has not received much negativity from the palestinians or others now it is out in the open it is from the perspective of the palestinians as you reported clearly a betrayal and the iranians are going to try will likely try to take advantage of the opening that that creates in which more and more the palestinians are realizing that the g. C. C. States and states allied with the United States are ultimately going to. Opt for some sort of accommodation with the israelis rather than opting for an equitable peace between the israelis and the palestinians and trita it is worth pointing out that the u. A. E. Has long held the view that fuego for countries iran poses a greater Security Threat than israel so i guess you have to ask the question why then would the u. A. E. Make a deal with israel that was certainly anger iran. Well i think when it comes to the iranians that really the tensions that have existed there are at a much higher level now than what they have been in the past i dont think it is so that you know historically the u. A. E. Any iran has had that antagonistic relationship in fact dubai itself and iran has had very close relations and very very close business ties with this is more about is that the alliance between the saudis the israelis and the u. A. E. Is and more about the fact that they are terrified of the idea of the United States leaving the middle east amplifying exaggerating extracts from iran is one very potent instrument to keeping the United States committed to the middle east keeping its troops in the middle east and providing them with diplomatic maneuverability that they otherwise would not be able to get if there it was if it was solely based on their own power so he done since the threat from iran through feels that function but its not the threat from iran that is bringing those states closer together i think what is bringing them closer together is the desire of keeping the United States militarily engaged in the region and it is important to point out to our viewers as well treated that the steadfast support for the palestinians by arab countries has begun to weaken in recent years largely because of this shed enmity towards iran and iranian proxies in the region. Well if you take a look at throughout the region over the course of the last 10 years and particularly because of the Syrian Civil War without a doubt there has been greater animosity amongst a population i mean 1015 years ago iranian leaders would be bragging about that you know how popular they are on the arab streets that is certainly not the case right now and that is to very large extent because of the Syrian Civil War but steps like this is probably going to provide the iranians with some opportunity of being able to regain some of that support precisely because of the sense of betrayal that will exist towards saudi arabia as a you know there are states that follow suit here trita parsi always good to get your thoughts here not just here i thank you very much for talking to us thank you so much for having me and now the Israeli Military has fired artillery shells of palestinian groups in Southern Gaza its the 4th straight night of bombardment on wednesday a school in gaza run by the uns Refugee Agency was damaged by airstrikes the school was empty at the time israel says its been targeting hamas facilities because the armed group has been sending balloons which start fires into its territory.

Welcome back a program out of our top stories here on aljazeera u. S. President donald trump has announced a deal to normalize ties between the u. A. E. And israel under the agreement israel will suspend but not scrap plans to unexposed in territory. Palestine is recalling it some bastard to the u. A. E. Calling the deal a betrayal understand in the back. For the latest now on the coronavirus pandemic and the u. K. s reimposing travel quarantine restrictions on france and the netherlands as coronavirus cases rise again across the continent france is seeing its highest number of cases instructions were eased in may in spain the government says there are 675 active outbreaks well germany has its highest increase of cases in 3 months the mccain has more now from berlin. Here in germany theres a great deal of concern about the way that these new infections are manifesting themselves because the mantra for minister this is being that it is people coming back from high risk areas tourists who travel to other parts of europe and unwittingly brought the infection back with them and yet actually paradoxically the majority of new infections taking place in germany take place inside germany elsewhere in those countries france the new infection rate is twice as large as it is in germany and certainly you see in cities the capital city for example in paris where the requirement for mask wearing is back in place but also separately the organizers of the paris marathon the marathon event which would normally attract many tens of thousands of entrants well they werent planning to have to stage the event until november and already theyve said that cannot take place and then of course in spain you see several regions there where the flare up of corona continues apace and from the german perspective looking at spring we know that the German Government has said that there are 3 regions where it is highly advising its citizens its residents tourists from germany not to go there where there will be the need for some form of quarantine when they come back or indeed a negative test the World Health Organization says it doesnt have enough information to make a judgment on the Coronavirus Vaccine approved by russia on tuesday russia became the worlds 1st country to approve that code with 19 inoculation but it was subjected to less than 2 months of human testing. There was a specific question about whether or not we would see. The w. H. O. Expanded use of that we dont have sufficient information at this point to make a judgment on that and were currently in conversation with russia to get Additional Information understand the status of that product the trials that have been undertaken and then what the next steps might be mexico and argentina say theyve reached a deal to mass produce a vaccine counter being tested by scientists that the u. K. s Oxford University leaders of the 2 countries say will be made available to all of Latin America John heilemann reports from mexico city. Argentina or mexico calling it a landmark vaccine deal not just for them but for latin america the 2 countries have agreed to produce hundreds of millions of doses for the region of the highly regarded astra zeneca vaccine designed by oats with university scientists. And they say it will be free for all mexicans and so without profit elsewhere in latin america during the pandemic. This is truly something exceptional there will help us a great deal to maintain hope to put an end to uncertainty. The hope is that it means this poor region when have to wait in line behind wealthier nations for a potential lifesaver they are. Going to will be able to access the vaccine thanks to this deal between 6 and 12 months earlier than if there were no such agreements with the governments are doing it together with mexican carlos slim once the worlds richest man this is his son. With carlos slim time dilation will participate with the available resources together with the governments of the countries to initiate the process of production of 150000000. 00 doses with the possibility of increasing to 250000000. This is not a sure thing yet the vaccine still has to finish 3 of Clinical Trials and if it does the production will only get going next year nor a short Term Solution then but still a bit of good news for latin america the regional hit by climate in the world lets go along for 3rd why is there so many of the country struggling in the current. Mix because governments been criticised for their management of the pandemic im reluctant to put money into the economic recovery now it is ready to invest in a vaccine that it believes could be the light at the end of the tunnel john homan aljazeera mexico city.

President trump has that knowledge that hes stopping the u. S. Postal service of money in order to make it harder to process an expected mail in ballots hes claimed without offering evidence that postal votes in all of the subject to widespread fraud. The u. S. Postal service is in many ways a backbone for the u. S. Economy and its in financial trouble. Democrats want to add funding for to be able to process mellen ballots in november but the president is resisting and now hes giving a rather explicit explanation theyre not going to do. A deal thats good for the American People therefore theyre not going to get the 3500000000 therefore they cant do. A universal. Mail in vote its very simple hes admitting his real intention is to stop mail and voting on the same day that the u. S. Supreme court issued a ruling making it easier to vote by mail something that an unprecedented 75 percent of americans will be able to do for the 1st time because of the coronavirus pandemic democrats say hes trying to steal the election the president is afraid of the American People hes been afraid for a while he knows that on the legit it be hard for him to win so he wants to put obstacles up participation military in the u. S.
