K. Look in part 2 of us special investigations exploring the Abraham Accords we ask him of the extinction of the rules based International Order could also mean the extinction of the Palestinian People 20 years after the start of the 2nd intifada and what do members of the u. S. Republican party think of a Historic Deal which President Trump claims heralds peace in the middle east we are speech element of the Texas Republican Party a former member of the house of representatives and retired u. S. Army Lieutenant Colonel allen west all the support coming up in todays going underground but 1st on saturdays show we spoke to former israeli Prime Minister defense minister ehud barak about the Abraham Accords that normalize relations between israel and the u. A. E. And bahrain before terminating the interview he expressed his support for the accords and urged the palestinian leader. Chip to use this moment to negotiate with israel you can find that interview in full in a you tube channel but now lets hear from the palestinian side joining me now by skype from london is the Palestinian Ambassador to the u. K. Formerly the pianos man in washington whos arms almost ambassador thanks so much for coming back on the show before we get to those that he issues and what the situation coronavirus in palestine there are reports of 47 percent of essential medicines in gaza depleted or close to running out its very acute and alarming i must say and silent but as the world has been affected by the pandemic our 1st response was. An immediate lockdown as early as the 5th of march we were among the very 1st nations to actually apply lockdowns. National. Organization. The Quick Response and we would have been 2 of. May with very minimal numbers is much worse at the numbers of both infections is very high and the one we were very successful in actually continuing controlling the core of us came from the occupation quite a switch as it did to all of this that all of us the biggest soft spot for us was palestinian workers working and. We were trying to actually communicate either issue of state. Or should they come back. And since joined up has been the biggest source of infection. And that was back of the floor of the white house will you question of though inability to control on board does not allow the survey to continue the very effective and efficient way of the game with the white house having said or the priest or the program to convey or. Do it for white army or doctors and nurses they are engaged now as we speak very international. This were very worried about because of especially in the last few weeks numbers have spiked to impress of the 20 if. Ogust there were only 3 deaths in gaza and that also 200. 00 reported cases though were talking about more than 2800. 00. Cases as you know because of has been on the look down by as well and says these 2007 its. Absolutely able to deal with such a direct and therefore we. Theres a gate to it was left immediately because such a thing does it would be nothing less than catastrophic we hope we would be even collectively as for the study as with a little bit of community to contain such a very dangerous virus and to contain the is or even a virus a local creation will lead to walk you lets get a doctor patient because refusal to recognize israel is no longer the standard response from arab nations before it would maraca and it is the interview suddenly on going underground of sad days a show he said the Abraham Accords show in the arab world a kind of waking up from a blind hatred towards israel one of you made of the Abraham Accords we actually had the energy for the Jerusalem Post he said the palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. You know thats the said one piece i want to go call it a product quotes you know a prophet. Who spent it in a book palestine is the father of all prophets because he represents a symbol of unity hes the father of all of us so that of unity over the specter of justice stuck between Jews Christians and muslims ive been trying to do is call that donald trump calls at that moment that he is gone from christianity using the name of the grand name. For a very cheap exercise of actually election sent us this is just some countries paying. Gifts. Action favors term setlist oric or it wont even really mean what do you mean an election fave is why do you think the United Arab Emirates and bahrain now recognize diplomatically the israeli state it is fine but it should ship shape us to let it go on from because you know a normalization is an act that was always meant to reward is one for ending its occupation that through war now is do one thing illegal at these awarding the occupation the government sanction besiegement of all people in gaza the deep its the legs ition of jerusalem we are not. Trying to create a situation we are just rewarded if they cut out the school and jihad if they dont spoil it its just that we believe it was a major major setback in our efforts that if there be to actually reach a genuine state peace interrupted you. Will not keep. Out of course for peace on this either it hasnt caught up to all it has a major stick thinking thats kind of this wanton rewarded for absolutely nothing except if they get it in claiming falsely that israel has stopped at excision one exception is happening on the ground at the bases only in the last few weeks is unless announced the building of new 12000 new. 7 minutes units deep in the west bank of the caribbean exceptions are happening right in front of our eyes so please be not for me not we have not given any mandate our behalf this has been a conflict between the Palestinian People and the occupier that is an occupied of your part of a colonized miles of the seat and. We have been this conflict with our nation for 100 years and therefore there is no way such a righteous legitimate suspicions of people could be just traded in a stock market like this at this point in time was anything thats thats not the way the United States sees it although british and European Union governments have been keen to emphasize the illegality of your patient when you watch the u. N. General assembly its been on the for the past week or so what is the point of all the un resolutions i mean youve got resolutions saying they need israel to withdraw from occupied land no settlements jerusalem cant be the capital just of israel the Golan Heights the seizure by israel is illegal the 75th anniversary what is the point of all the resolutions that you and your negotiating team and your a different diplomatic stuff around the world go on about when it doesnt seem to matter anymore thats one of the many people are saying look we remain to be absolutely committed to International Legitimacy we believe in what that office and we learned that us of the 2nd we think when the world come together and decide collectively is way better than one of those of the problems not the National System national or the space or that was established so we learned never again what we did in the 2nd world or of the 1st will go and the purpose of the. Disability or acquired it by force thats the heart of it now the problem is not the over the problem of the enforcement of the law thats the issue and here the question about the position of the u. K. Which is commendable i mean only last clear. Vanessa over the lease of the foreign office. He stated that he confirmed the u. K. Position with datasets occupation a state of palestine on the 967 borders with East Jerusalem as its 7th and dissolving the sure fishies just wouldnt put ourselves out of this no we agree with the u. K. Position the issue his words are not an officer and this isnt as a lot of we need an army obviously brave some would say given we want to trade deal though with the United States after breaks a bit obviously britain is selling record amounts of arms to israel i want to get on to your leader Mahmoud Abbas he said it was a stab in the back isnt it really a stab in the front the socalled Abraham Accords historically we have very good relations with those assists we didnt change some of them have unilaterally changed and we are where we are we are absolutely d we consider ourselves to be a prophet ups both christians and muslims we define also by this that in our mission we know the hearts of the feelings of the support and the sort of that of the connection between us of the people of. Most of the support who saw what happened in bahrain i mean the most standing effect was operates against what is asian d oppositions that season so we know we have all of them for us the relationship between us while the bahraini people are not the people who is beyond politics i mean this is about that is a shit about history about religion about country about language about the hopes for a for the future what connect between us and the minorities and the bodies we need to live in the field with and together with the other or that even with our own up peace initiative. In 2002 already if he ends it will even that was the key to that as i saluted me by this unit after an act by some context to normalize illegality and to reward isnt for its a question of going to the finest and you know if we have. Thats the cause of peace thats absolutely nuts so what are you going to do those countries do say its a step forward and you just waiting it out to see when the biden would be any better after the us elections over say what the conflict of the dynamics of this i mean status in the people of palestine we are on our land and as i know this best i mean they could cite these American Press you know a. Magician like deaves as if he says really the end of it at least in some of the user really guests have been saying that this does not offer to bring genuine real peace and that does it we will continue and by the way as much as this is a crisis that some local or whites digitalization it was a situation. That the media has called for a mission only minutes off of the announcement about the mobilization but its really an exception its all the theater its like when not if all this is a crisis but it also brings an opportunity to for us its not a t. V. By israel its meant to fact that the u. S. Detention or if you know if you have seen that we have agreed among all of us that it at the factions to convene elections where the 6 months you have seen orphans wont work including here in the u. K. In the Parliament Last week and there are very strong support by this time so this creates for us also a wide range of many individuals who would like us see dont to be an anomaly seat phone to be a bully and we will look a little i mean we will not succumb to these protests we have would stop that from pressure as you said in europe of action i was the ambassador to the u. S. I know personally how much the from and the trump team have tried with us all the way from cutting off funding the moving the embassy from police to yours and then to defunding all off even the closing of our mission itself in washington you know invoking the visas oh my. On children while they were the measure of the school year in washington all this is luck makes sense because for us the choice is very either we choose to go with such what we always stand tall or for all rights and dignity and we believe we would be what we wore that this is about time its not our moment on the sun we realize how difficult things all over but we will do one thing one thing prime suffice that for us because what we have to those is peace is real peace and we are really interested in genuinely real peace we want to see your motivations in the region the whole region we want to see a region that is fighting and prosper and if we want to address the issues of all the roof and women you question and have we just discussed the issue of the core of violence in gaza i mean are you calling us im living in the the most horrific open ever present for the last 15 years we want to see your sort of a beacon for coexistence we want all that but we dont want to the way with this crimes and we dont want this to be just another way for israel and beautifying and legitimizing the injustice and the oppression the feste been happening we will not be the scapegoat and we the people of honest guy who have been starving for all these tickets will never allow anyone to pay from our pockets our pockets absolutely clothes so we have fence we have the logo we have the morning t. V. We have the steadfastness of our people we have the circuit of our people everywhere in jerusalem and there was a bank in does that as you see on a weekly basis everywhere and we have the clarity about the future so this is about a moment but its law the story ambassador sums it up thank you we also invite the u. S. Ambassador to london thank you very much after the break what do trumps republicans think of a Historic Deal promising socalled peace in the middle east ill be speaking to chairman of the Texas Republican Party involvement member of the house of representatives allen west all of them all coming up by 2 of going on the ground. Well lets talk about tea and crumpets and scones the London Bridge and the. Welcome back to last nights or the 1st u. S. President ial Election Debate between president obama trumpet his democratic rival joe biden in ohio but away from the Mainstream Media analysis of every minor detail of that debate with just over a month before the election im joined now by the chairman of the Texas Republican Party and former member of the house of representatives on west to discuss the Bigger Picture here thats been eclipsed by Global Pandemic mass protests in the usa and he joins me now from garland in texas alan thanks for coming on so yeah in a very big picture at terms do you think by not being such a tough opponent so much as far as the republicans see it the d. N. C. Know that it will become allah harris that could be president shortly after an election of a by presidency in many ways i think that they see this as a couple Harris Joe Biden ticket. Most people know that joe bidens probably not going to be able to sustain you know for 6 months or even a year in the presidency so were really looking at the policies of kaamelott harris of which she has stood for was used as a u. S. Senator and also as attorney general in california joe biden rejects that says he wants to sever full term we just spoke of the palestines ambassador to the u. K. Trump has been trumpeting the Abraham Accords he said they dont hold out any hope for peace whatsoever why do you think that its a positive development that israel has made deals with the arab or talk receives like the u. A. E. And bahrain now were having more. More negotiations and better relations with go Cooperation Council countries the g. C. C. Countries reigning u. A. E. Are doing the Obama Administration they were very concerned it was very disconcerting a lot of the relationships that they saw between the Obama Biden Administration and iran and the you know that iran with is the number one space of order of terrorism and the regional hedge monic dominance that iran was trying to have an influence they were having a stand in themselves out of teheran all the way across this land bridge through iraq and over into syria and the United States has operated from a position of strength without leading from behind and i think a key thing when you talk about texas and how it affects those Abraham Accords you know i say samir is now Energy Independent a net exporter of Energy Resources we produce we consume we export those resources because of what is happening here in texas with the drilling with the fracking with the increase of all the natural gas capability capacity thats something that was unleashed by the for Trump Administration so we can purely act is good negotiators and we can not be dependent upon the middle east for integer resources and we can deal with iran like we should have been dealing with them as a terrorist sponsor state ok iran denies all that and forget about the environmental consequences given increased drilling is this then all about a war in iran because last time around trump was the antiwar president ial candidate he took the United States out of syria arguably allowing iran syria and russia and the chinese to explore a future reserves of energy in syria who is about war with iran in the 2nd term of a term presidency no its not about war with iran and i think what you see is President Trump using our economic strength now with a stronger position with energy and also using the diplomatic aspect to prevent us from having. Go into any type of military confrontation so i think that this is something that should be lauded the fact that he has been able to do these things without firing a single shot and yet we see the reduction you know isis and we have seen jerusalem on taking off the battlefield as well as al baghdadi the leader by so we are being very effective but were not fighting with u. S. Soldiers combating isis that before trump decided to take him out well i dont know if the person that was responsible for targeting u. S. Forces were actually working with u. S. Forces but i will tell you that in my time it was that he definitely will i mean c. N. N. Were reporting pictures of him with the u. S. Troops c. N. N. Is not exactly the most trusted source over here in the United States of america but you know i still have friends on the ground and i dont recall josue mahdi being very you know accommodating to u. S. Military forces in iraq if you know of operations i mean ok its granted that Hillary Clinton if she had been elected didnt talk about the desire for peace arguably in the same way that trump did but the u. S. Is still in afghanistan and is still in iraq 4 years after he was elected what do you make of this problem is it the deep state preventing him from realizing his objective to minimize u. S. Taxpayer dollars being spent on foreign conflict well the United States is still in europe my dad fought in world war 2 back in 1940 s. The United States is still in korea and i was last days in korea in 1900 so i dont have any issue with having a presence that tries to make sure that we exude what ron reagan called it peace through strength you know tactics and i know that you have countries such as poland that wants to have better u. S. Relations military relations so that they can for any aggression from russia and Vladimir Putin so i think that is a you know a big difference for. Having a presence a former president then having some type of aggressive military action you mention poland you can imagine is stony at why is it given that trump tries his best to talk about joe bidens son suspicious money according to him from russia why is it the republicans cant seem to challenge the media narrative that its trump who is the russian asset well i think its very interesting if you want to say the President Trump is russian asset because when russia im not in thing. d were russian the Paramilitary Forces invaded into ukraine it was president obama sent them socks and m. R. East it was president obama that lifted the Missile Defense shield agreement with poland that has been reinstated or at least better relations with poland and we know that President Trump has. Missile systems. Missile systems he said a. T. s we have had better military cooperation with ukraine and also the Baltic States latvia estonia lithuania so i believe that he has taken some of her serious actions against russia a failure at whats been the failure to counter the narrative that people can continue to say whatever they want to say i mean but the actions speak quite loudly so i think thats the best way to counter narrative is just look at say you dont see the russia being able to continue and push themselves and deeper into ukraine or the Baltic States and then also think about this the liquefied natural gas i mean port arthur texas is the number one export liquefied natural gas and were using that to undermine the influence of russia in many countries and europe especially in Eastern Europe something presumably youd say is not appreciated by mainstream u. S. Corporate journalists ok but what about existential threats to the whole world and the decision by trump seemingly to kill off the stott nuclear weapon. Its treaty with russia you dont think trump is in danger in well piece by doing that well i think one of these is russia has not been a good faith. Participant in that Nuclear Treaty in that agreement and so i think thats a lot of president s trying to put pressure on russia and break that off the United States of america under this president everyone was talking about we would be going in war d rooms talk about a nuclear war in north korea the strategic patience policy of the obama budget ministration you some more aggressive north korea so again i think the proof is in the pudding we dont see any of these major aggressive actions across the world but weve got the whole certain join actors to the far and you see that with president stross policies toward russia china north korea and iran do you think joe biden can get the United States into a war with russia unlike the way trump talks about russia biden said in the summer i am putting the kremlin on notice do you think the democrats pose a threat to world peace. I think the weakness is in tyson and if we go d back to the Foreign Policy that we saw doing obama biden ministration you will see more belligerent actions coming from the actors that i just mentioned to us to include also Islamic Jihad as well because he didnt say weakness but he did say for instance he had trump was too weak on north korea and i suppose hes pointing to the fact theres been no progress about that threat to the United States the perceived threat. You know we also dont see all of those missiles being tested and we havent heard from kim jong un in quite some time and they because we have taken a position of strength and so the strategic patience philosophy of Foreign Policy towards north korea that was part of the Obama Biden Administration ok what about internal security all around the world the images of civil disobedience civil unrest in the United States ever since george floyd was killed him being beamed out is there a danger deep within the United States is a Civic Society that has been unlike that since well say under the Obama Clinton obama biden yes. I have big concerns about what we see happening on the streets in United States where to me is a domestic and servicing when you have groups like antiphon and black glass matter and some of the nefarious actions that theyre taking the destruction of federal buildings the attack of property and things of that nature and also the policy of Defunding Police here in our in the state of texas the capital city of austin texas a very far Left City Council voted to defund the police by 150000000. 00 and what you see is an increase of Violent Crime in that city on im not going to out and frequenting anywhere late at night because of the issue about safety and security obviously black eyes matta maybe even anti for who of course in the thirtys in world war 2 for against the fascist would deny they were nefarious spent that i think what im getting at here is trumps term the gini coefficient on income and inequality its as bad the the regression as it was during the obama biden years so what happened and joining these trump for years i mean 40000000 people in the United States will be able to eat tonight without food stamps or snap as you call it nowadays why. Did trump fail in that regard of reducing inequality reducing poverty which also of course has an impact on the current virus response well i would take umbrage with that because we saw an incredible dropping of the Unemployment Rate which means that people were getting back to work and if you talk about food stamps i mean the food stamp participation was was dropping course when the coronavirus coke in 1000 came along when we have you know certain areas where you know we told people to shut down the businesses of the base of that nature that it had a very bad effect on lives and livelihoods thats why i think that is important that we work very hard to get our businesses back open so that people can get back to work and we have seen down in state of florida where now they have opened back up 100 percent so i dont think the president trust policies have brought forth a an increase in food stamps or poverty things of that nature as opposed to what we saw with the Obama Administration in those 8 years where you did see policies that led to an increase and unemployment was extremely high as well and just finally very briefly since everyones asking about it that New York Times tax story do you think trumps based in the rust belt of those states that made him president will see the New York Times story as something that improves their own view of the way trump handled himself in trying to minimize taxes no theyll just see that as another partisan political attack against President Trump just the same as it wasnt too long ago they said the President Trumps disparaging things about us allen west thank you my pleasure.
