Palestinian president will tell the Un Security Council that on later on tuesday that he wants to set up a new International Alliance to mediate with the israelis. Abandoning a quarter of a century old policy of accepting the u. S. As the main and immediately follows president Donald Trumps recognition of jerusalem as israels capital Bernard Speth reports from ramallah in the occupied west bank. Donald trumps promise of the deal of the century turned into what the palestinian president called the slap of the century its forced Mahmoud Abbas on to steam back to the drawing board. Has been involved in palestinian policy making for decades he now believes the u. S. Is losing its dominant role in the world in a world that is changing i mean the calculation is not only on our wishes its also an analysis of whats going on in the world including what israel now practices israel is seeking very much better relations with the russians was the chinese was the indians with the with the japanese israel itself knows that the world is changing and it cannot ignore these other important forces abbas has been telling leaders from Europe Russia china and elsewhere that he wants them to have a role in mediation with the israelis while retaining u. S. Involvement.

That can be even more harmful than the continuity of the current difficult and political reality that were living angle with Donald Trumps recognition of jerusalem as israels capital came with criticism of the palestinian leadership for depending on u. S. Mediation for the last twenty five years its felt the pressure to come up with an alternative we have no other option we dont want to go back to violence we are not abandoning our commitment to the Peace Process and when you do that then you really have to find a new International Alliance a new legal methods and ways and means of really saving our country from being totally overtaken by the Israeli Colonial project as the palestinians cast around for a new mediation the reality on the ground is that illegal settlements are expanding day by day eating up more and more occupied land time is not on the palestinian side but its with aljazeera in the occupied west bank. And Egyptian Company has agreed to buy fifteen billion dollars worth of israel a natural gas operators of israels team are in the via an offshore gas fields will supply a private and gyptian firm around sixty four billion cubic meters of gas over a decade israel hopes the deal will strengthen diplomatic ties.
