Questions about the blocks future. This is our jazeera live from london also coming up the Palestinian Leader says President Trump told him he intends to move the u. S. Embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem. The supporters celebrating yemens capital sanaa where planned funeral for former president saleh has been postponed. The world is facing armageddon due to plastic pollution a stark warning to an environment conference in kenya. I know the emir of kuwait has called for a blueprint to resolve the gulf crisis during the g. C. C. Summit in kuwait city. Has been mediating the dispute which began when saudi arabia bahrain and the u. A. E. Cut ties with qatar in june qatar and kuwait are the only nations which had heads of state attending the summit the others were represented by ministers or deputy Prime Ministers. And joins us live so how significant was that difference in terms of who was attending. Well extremely significant because there was up some ism in the build up to the summits i mean a few weeks a bike back nobody would have thought the summit itself would have taken place but when the official invitations were sent out by coates and the Member States all accepted that they would be attending suddenly there was some sort of hope that this six month old crisis could suddenly or finally find a way out through mediation through this discussion sitting around the table as the new all summits however people were then surprised that despite assurances by the king of saudi arabia king solomon and others that maybe they would be represented or at least their deputies would come to kuwait the fact that such junior ministers were sent in their stead was seen as a rebuke to the attempts of coates to maintain and safeguards the unity of the g. C. C. But also its attempts to find some sort of a solution now the quaids amir just about all of this about did point out of the fact of these summits that take place was a positive he spoke of the need to increase cooperation between the two maybe three in the two sides in this divide than the fact that the next summit will take place in a manner which is seen as a neutral country is also a positive step but really when you look at the actual tangible things that came out of this summit its very very thin in terms of positive results tonight share thank you very much and al jazeera senior political analyst nonmissionary joins us live from doha so how do you view the way this went to the fact that it was a shortened and those attending and what what was if anything was achieved well they came they met and they left. Basically thats what weve had today a short a short summit as it were and clearly not to the expectations that weve had had the last forty eight hours or so since the saudi one arc gave his consent and more or less willingness to attend the summit but something happened it seems yesterday lauren something in the Foreign Ministers meetings in preparation for the summit. Apparently whatever saudi arabia wanted out of the summit did not really materialize in the Foreign Ministers preparation for the agenda my guess it would be a certain demands on qatar a certain language on yemen and a certain severity if you will towards iran and i think the other members of the g. C. See qatar oman and arguably kuwait just listening to the meirs opening speech talking underlining the importance of a political solution in yemen and military solution i think all of that has distant saudi arabia and its two junior members the United Arab Emirates and behind in from attending with high representation and so on in or wind it up with a short meeting a kind of a general statement towards the end and not much accomplished aside from the fact that they actually met which in in some context is an accomplishment in an overt self did you see this as a kind of a blip in terms of the history of the g. C. C. Or do you think its heading towards in significant in this century being dissolved as a bloc. Well were certainly that you see has been for a few months now on life support system. And clearly the announcement just ahead of the summit by United States that it was putting together some sort of a committee with saudi arabia to oversee it cannot make military security and others affairs basically sidelines not only by hurricane but also sidelines the other g. C. C. Members and the g. C. C. In general tried to create that kind of parallel mechanism where the g. C. C. Of course is not a helpful message so all in all so uribe and its junior partners have been undermining the g. C. C. Is unity and and their their lack of attendance and with the higher representation of course is turning back turning their back to the emir of kuwait who for several months now have been trying to mediate this crisis so all in all the political and strategic and i would say is the logical differences within the g. C. C. Are not. Theyre not coming together theyre not coming any closer or any shorter certainly the gap is getting wider but the fact that there is a meeting like that means that the that the that the heads have cooled off to some degree and that there is no escalation necessarily to more heated conflict than what weve seen before are we seeing the normalization of cooling off relations perhaps thats exactly what it is when michelle thank you michele. And in president Mahmoud Abbas has warned donald trump of quote dangerous consequences if the u. S. Moves its embassy in israel of us and Jordans King Abdullah say trunk call them to say he intends to shift the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is expected to announce his decision on wednesday israel claims all of jerusalem as its United Capital and the annexation of East Jerusalem is seen by palestinians as the capital of their future state on a mostly two hundred homemade whos in ramallah but first lets go live to you can be how to use in washington d. C. So kimberly the phone call seem to be taking place when did it well actually get any kind of announcement. Were not getting a clear understanding of when that announcement will take place except that it is imminent and i suspect that is because these phone calls are taking place that its not just you know two different World Leaders that have cautioned the United States and specifically donald trump about any sort of recognition of jerusalem as israels capital and the concern that arises out of that it seems to be happening sort of across the globe at this point we know that there was a phone call that took place with Emmanuel Macron monday between the president and its very interesting when you look at the readouts that the white house gave versus what came out of the president s office the white house saying that call that they discussed mideast peace but when you see the readout from the french president s office it was more detailed saying there was express a special of concern about the recognition of the capital of jerusalem being a recognition of the capital of israel and also that there needs to be a resolution of negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians so these warnings are coming from a number of Different Levels but at the same time we do not hear the brakes being put on any sort of announcement the deadline for the president to sign the waiver which would have postponed this move of an embassy a u. S. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem expired on december fourth that is monday and we still have not seen the president sign that waiver as his predecessors have done for more than twenty years can be how could john being thank you very much. To have me does that live for us now in ramallah so tell us what the consequences would be if trump does go ahead and decides to move the embassy. Well thats a question ive been asking many palestinians and basically what you do get is certainly a sense of worry among people many would use the word disastrous when he would tell you that it will kill the Peace Process even though some would tell you that they thought that presupposes theres already voids in such a long time since its been stalling and there has been no advancement now weve heard lately over the past hour or so from several leaders around the middle east King Abdullah president Mahmoud Abbas issuing a statement saying that he had been informed about that intention to move the u. S. Embassy but also warning that it would have a great impact on implications not only in the middle east but in the wider muslim world you do get a sense also the from what other senior officials palestinians have been saying over the past few days that really that would change completely everything and certainly the role of the u. S. As this broker in these very difficult peace negotiations would be at that point void in the sense that the u. S. Someone had actually gone as far as saying that the u. S. Had that boy would not be part of the solution could not be a neutral mediator but it would would be actually part of the problem at that side clearly siding with one side of the conflict many palestinians would tell you that that has always happened but i think if that move happens certainly it will had huge symbolism you know jerusalem has always been a very complicated issue in those peace negotiations are always been part of the finest status negotiations thats because both sides knowing clearly and even the u. S. Knowing clearly that starting to discuss the status of them and the future of jerusalem. By both sides as the capital of their state would certainly would have killed the negotiations before they even started so at this point really many would tell you it was like putting the nail in the coffin really hammering the nail in the coffin Hoda Abdelhamid dinner and i thank you lebanons Prime Minister saad hariri has withdrawn his resignation harry respond to political upheaval last month when he announced he was stepping down in a televised address from saudi arabia lebanons cabinet has held its first meeting since the crisis and reaffirmed its official policy of disassociation or remaining neutral in regional conflicts so no one has more from beirut.

Embassy to jerusalem from tel aviv a spokesman of president Mahmoud Abbas says he warned that such a move would have dangerous consequences. Lebanese promised assad and hariri is withdrawn his resignation drawing a line under a month long political crisis triggered by his shock announcement in riyadh. The funeral of ousted yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh in santa has been postponed meanwhile his former allies who killed him on monday have been holding a celebration rally in the capital of un is urging calm as it tries to arrange more aid deliveries for beleaguered civilians into as as tired. The killing. Has plunged yemen into even more uncertainty the ousted president with the dominant Political Force for over three decades was killed in an attack led by whom the fighters on monday had been in an alliance with the iranian backed rebels for more than two years and his death sparked intense fighting on the streets of the capital sanaa. The clashes were ongoing the entire night until the morning if someone stepped out into the street or fled they would have a bullet hit the mean the head chest or body. On tuesday thousands of the supporters filled the streets of sanaa celebrating what they called the end of the crisis but yemens challenges are far from over the Saudi Led Coalition which supports the internationally recognized government led by up to rubble months or heidi has said it will still strike rebel targets and how to use urging yemenis to rise against the who plays. And i call upon all of you with an open heart and a strong will to turn the new page and to get rid of such a nightmare lets put our hands together to end the control of these criminal gangs and to build a new united yemen. In the who pushed out how these government in january two thousand and fifteen and set up their own administration prompting the saudi led campaign against them since then the country has been split between the who the rebels in the north adis administration in the south and forces loyal to saleh. His death could mark a turning point and the conflict getting worse a conflict which has already killed nearly ten thousand people but yemen to the brink of mass starvation and triggered what the United Nations has called the worlds worst humanitarian crisis we remind all parties to the conflict that deliberate attacks against civilians and against civilian and medical infrastructure or clear violations of International Humanitarian law may constitute war crimes. A former military officer became president of north yemen in one thousand nine hundred Seventy Eight after a coup and in one nine hundred ninety when the north and south reunited he was elected as the first president of the newly unified country he was ousted in two thousand and twelve during the arab spring uprising that managed to stay in the country and wielded considerable power behind the scenes at once like in his involvement in yemeni politics is dancing on the head of snakes and while its not yet clear who will succeed him or what his death will mean for the fighting on the ground or the future of yemen one thing appears certain is nearly three year war is unlikely to come to an end anytime soon. Aljazeera. Lets get more on this this year is. Mcafee who is a Research Fellow at the Embassy Development institute which specializes in aid conflict and security in the middle east thanks for coming to talk to us so first of all why do you think that the funeral of saddam has been postponed in this way. Well because the situation in yemen todays very uncertain that is complete breakdown of security as you put you know solid supporters are in a position where they were invited to join other the food seas or to join the saudis in a coalition so there are a lot of political uncertainties as well as the fighting thats going on on the ground which is probably led to that and is it your impression that the police will whos out celebrating today that that actually has been a pause that the u. N. Has asked for in fighting always is it hard to tell from yemen whats actually going on what were learning from yemen is that there has been no pause that there is constant fighting taking place and the humanitarian situation has gotten a lot worse than it was. No access to aid or assistance from International Meeting organizations or or local ones people have managed to get out of their homes today nevertheless theres no access to food or medicine and the humanitarian crisis is a big worry that the International Community should be should be concerned about whats your impression about what the who sees will do next and where are they going to take this. Is a civil war and where theyre going to take the fighting next its only going to get worse unfortunately. Right now have an opportunity to control the whole of sanaa and to try to control yemen and if anything this means the interest intensification of violence on the ground between the Saudi Led Coalition and. What kind of Popular Support to they have a minute theres some suggestion people suggesting that actually in the areas they have been in charge of their governance is actually not been that great and people who are starting to feel annoyed with that is that something that you you hear into well the situation is very complicated on the ground on the one hand the killing of saleh has shocked yemenis and shocked everyone the footage that weve seen in the pictures of him as shocked a lot of yemenis and has turned him into. And the who sees to a certain extent nevertheless the coalition the ongoing blockade the blocking of shipments and through them assistance has also turned the yemenis against the saudis and so its very difficult to understand the situation on the ground except in so far as it is very complicated peoples loyalties are divided i think what yemenis are mostly concerned about today is finding food and assistance that is their primary concern what kind of action or sort of intervention do you expect from the International Community on this im in that so so far there hasnt been any any progress on any of the diplomatic attempts to bring these two to a resolution where do you think that it goes next in terms of the International Community i think yemen has never had an honest broker the International Community has never stepped in properly to address the situation in yemen theres always been a political interest of sorts getting in the way and and this is the problem we are witnessing today yesterday the u. N. High commissioner for human rights put together a commission to investigate violations of human rights taking place in yemen this is not even one since its years late and the International Community has been calling for this time and time again and yet no action has taken place so in terms of first steps a call for seize a fire is important pressure on the saudis to lift the blockade and allow assistance is as a necessity and i think the United Kingdom as well as the u. S. Need to revisit their arms sales to saudi arabia now war than ever our research is that would see our i put together a number of studies that look at the impact of the arms sales as well as the humanitarian crisis on lives in yemen and the consequences are extremely serious so think of yemenis first and the people and and politicians as well as the International Community needs to put that first and takes into consideration sure inevitable to mccarthy thank you very much indeed thank you.
