A warning about a looming humanitarian crisis in bikinis fast so the fighting us turn the lives of thousands of people upside down. Welcome to the program one of the most powerful people in the white house is now out of a Job National Security adviser john bolton insists he resigned but u. S. President donald trump says he was fired because of disagreements over Foreign Policy bolton was known as a hawk but wanted the u. S. To take a hard line stance against countries like iran venezuela and north korea trump says a new adviser his 4th in 2 and a half years will be appointed next week ellen fisher has more now from washington d. C. You are going to do a fantastic job and i appreciate 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 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 tweeted not the usual thanks for being able to set 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 prompt defended the president s decision its the president s intitled to the staff that he wants that at any moment is a staff person who works directly for the president and 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 of lots of people who with whom i interact john bolton was donald trump started National Security advisor 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 but 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. When i spoke to brett bruin he served as director of Global Engagement in the white house during president Obamas Administration he joins us live now via skype from toronto in canada britain President Trump said he fired Bolton Bolton says thats not true he resigned either way hes out the door didnt bolton sucking come as a surprise. No this was predictable what i have to say though is that it is a reflection of the instability that continues to persist in trumps Foreign Policy we see this impulsiveness this escalate tory and then deescalate tory rhetoric its very difficult for those within the american National Security structure to adapt to his tweets and threats we know that bolton had many Foreign Policy differences with trump particularly over afghanistan russia iran just focus briefly brit through those differences because bolton wanted a much more hawkish approach to u. S. Foreign policy he did and the president would joke in meetings that john bolton wanted to invade almost every country and on north korea for instance bolton was on record quite outspoken in his opposition to kim jong un and to negotiations and then you take that through issues like iran and most recently afghanistan and clearly there is a sense from the president that this National Security advisor is quite different in his approach as well as in his ideology ultimately that just wasnt tenable but what sort of differences then we like had to seen u. S. Foreign policy now that bolton is gone i mean particularly of issues like iran where trump has indicated hed be willing to meet iran in something that bolton would never countenance. Yeah i would expect to see from the president an effort to open up a dialogue with iran using boltons departure if you will as an excuse to say really bolton was the hawk im ready to talk and lets remember trump desperately needs this deal things did not work out with afghanistan things havent worked out with north korea hes heading into elections and he needs to show something that hes done on the world stage im not some interesting point you make their breath because i want to ask you it was john bolton a casualty of u. S. Domestic politics because as you say he wanted a much harder line on afghanistan on iran whereas trump wants to get out of afghanistan he wants to get troops out of syria to appeal to his base for the 2020 Election Campaign so both in wasnt telling trump what trump wants to hear. He wasnt and i scherer that there is no one left in the situation room who is going to speak truth to trump might from fayose a significant someone who is really a yes man and this is what we have lost over the course of the last year in. Defense secretary the former National Security adviser general mcmaster going out and now with the loss of john bolton im no fan of john bolton but it least he was more disciplined and he would i think control some of trumps worst tendencies thank you very much indeed for talking to aljazeera welcome israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has announced his intention to annex the Jordan Valley in the occupied west bank if he wins next weeks general election he said the trumpet ministrations socalled middle east peace plan would provide an historic opportunity for extending israeli sovereignty over the west bank and other areas how the fool said as more from western. Benjamin netanyahu has a habit of promising dramatic announcements in the run up to elections and he did so again on tuesday when it came it was not a unilateral decision about amec sation as some had predicted instead the message to right wing settler voters was a vote for netanyahu would in concert with the trumpet ministration mean extending israeli sovereignty to all illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and in the shorter term the annexation of the Jordan Valley yes. There is one place where its possible to apply israeli sovereignty immediately after the election if i receive a clear mandate to do so from you the citizens of israel in recent months of little diplomatic effort in this direction in recent days the conditions for this have ripened today im announcing my intention to apply with the formation of the next government israeli sovereignty on the Jordan Valley and nor going to see. The Jordan Valley represent some 30 percent of the occupied west bank and some of its most fertile Agricultural Land israeli policy has long been that it needs to retain control there for National Security but the prospect of a unilateral israeli annexation as netanyahu is promising would explode any faint remaining hopes of a viable palestinian state alongside israel giving palestinians and theres a small towns and villages as prisoners without any freedom that is a war crime and as about as we are about to enter the 74th session or the General Assembly of the United Nations that the National Community must stand now. To see a big and to stop the thing is that as a country about the laws of man at the United Nations there was further condemnation such a prospect would be devastating to the potential of reviving the goetia Regional Peace in the very essence of a 2 state solution but there is a hugely important caveat to all this to enact his plan now you know 1st has to win the election then create a right Wing Coalition government that would in dorset and then push it through in the face of International Pressure and by then and intensifying battle against his own corruption charges israelis ive heard him talk annexation before without following through thats a point political opponents and political analysts were making even before netanyahu had finished talking this is electioneering at its best there is no connection between what the Prime Minister said today and whats going to happen after the election whether hes elected or not this is what i like to say is israeli elections are very much like las vegas and hotels in las vegas what happens during israeli elections stays in israeli elections. Later at another Campaign Event in southern Israel Netanyahu was briefly rushed from the stage sirens sounding the Israeli Military said rockets had been fired out of gaza a dramatic end to a day when whether he makes good on it or not he confirmed his position as one entirely at odds with a 2 state solution the concept that remains the International Consensus on how the Israeli Palestinian conflict should end very force an aljazeera west jerusalem well lets talk to marine rabbani hes a senior fellow at the institute for palestine studies he joins us via skype from washington d. C. And we know that israel has occupied the west bank since 1967 but stopped short of annexation so why is netanyahu doing this now and how significant is this move do you think. I think there are 2 reasons for this the 1st is as as was suggested in the clip this is in the like simply get to the end of the sensitively say if you want this you have to ensure that i am in the election for the next government but there is also i think another factor it goes beyond the elections which is that for netanyahu and his counterparts of is really right they see the upcoming period between the conclusion of the Israeli Parliament boxes next week and the american president ial elections next year as a golden opportunity to you know a lot of the determine many of these core issues of the Israeli Palestinian conflict and you see it as an opportunity that need not be repeated for many years if ever and therefore i say that regardless of the whats your rhetoric were very likely to see steps taken to rexton during the coming year but that it will necessarily reflect that map that netanyahu showed us today but it could be again on a smaller scale in other places all right so so if there an accession the happens more in how would it work i mean what boundary lines be drawn opposite the territory minimizing the arab population but increasing israeli expansion. Well i think the operating principle for israel has always spent backs and amount of territory with a minimum about the arabs and therefore you will see them seeking to annex settlements seeking to an extent retore like the Jordan Valley which is practically already been ethnically close you know the past decade but not an exciting era our city and Population Centers a lot of jericho and the Morton Valley and elsewhere the key issue of course is how will the region and the world spawns because one could make the argument that these accident sation are in effect the laws it will cool the nation of 50 years of colonial expense in the west bank to which the interNational Community and primarily that u. S. Europe turned a blind eye and never confronted is ok serious parts of its behavior yeah and you talk about the International Response i mean israel has formal peace treaties with jordan with egypt so what happens to those treaties with a beer announcement how would they react given their relationships with the United States well its a very good question because for see you do have formal peace treaties with israel if you look at jordan for example on the one hand keanes of conservatives if you listen sure of this both history of the United States but at the same time cant just simply turn a blind eye to its own population or suppress any opposition so it will be blocking a very fine line actually it will try to extremely bar not to renounce its peace treaty but it will try to say no serious to at least alleviate some popular rights to sue just just a final thought no and i mean the palestinians claim the whole of the west bank for any future state does this mean then the 2 state solution in any peace deal is now dead in the water and one of the options now for the palestinians just briefly. Well lets look at you know if you would like us to believe me and. All right bonnie thank you very much indeed for your time are not also to come on the news hour including an appeal for people in the bahamas to open up their homes to survivors of Hurricane Dorian.
