israel, the palestinian authority, the u. s. jordan and egypt are due to attend a meeting on sunday due to discuss ways of de escalating the recent tensions in new york on the west bank. any part of sydney and say the global community wants to maintain israel's military occupation. that abraham reports it's hard to miss growing palestinian support for i'm bruce veney. this example was seen thousands demonstrated across the occupied west bank at midnight. responding to a call by the line them on the 11 palestinians were killed in an israeli on the city of napa. on wednesday, somewhere fighters from the group. now palestinian officials have flown to jordan to attend the security summits with israel organized by the us, egyptian and ordeal. officials are also there. the meeting on sunday is an attempt to de escalate, growing tensions, and re establish palestinian security control in nablus. and janine 2 cities where fighters are operating in order for the ac. emily, the americans don't want a full blown escalation that would be stabilize the region at a time day and the rest of the world. a busy with ukraine and its ramifications. the worst that could happen is we implement their plan to push the t. i security to take over from these reli occupation that would lead to civil well, what the different oh, palestine depends on international aid. and a large sum of the money it gets goes to the security forces. most graduates from this military academy and up joining the ranks of palestinian authority security forces. even though it has fluctuated support for the security establishment hasn't stopped. critic say such heavy international investment in the security forces. this empowers palestinians and many question coordination between the palestinian authority and israel on security. nearly 30 percent of international aid to the palestinian authority goes towards security. on the balcony and authority was established, the main goal of international aid was to keep the peace process go away. but this has changed over the years and many say that the goal now is to ensure stability. while many world leaders are calling for de escalation intention, palestinian said they're missing the obvious problem, israel's military occupation. and without addressing that, they say any other discussions will only prolong get it. abraham joins us now. live from ramallah. nita official talks between palestinians and israelis have been on hold for years. so in which context is this meeting being held after these really forces have been carrying out a lot of raids in the occupied westbank since the beginning of the year. and last year, really in killing 10 palestinians in jeannine. and also let's use the term recognizing illegal israeli settlement outposts in the occupied us bank. the preston is a said, okay, we're going to go to the united nations security council to get a resolution that condemns israel's supplements again. but an understanding was reached when the, under the auspices of the us to hold off the un security council both and israel and return would be decreasing the res and holding off on illegal is really supplement plan. but that doesn't happen because just 2 days after that understanding was made and it's included the security meeting that is happening today enjoyed in just 2 days after the way. the 4th is rate is nablus and killed 11 palestinians. so many palestinians were saying that they wanted the palestinian authority not to attend the meeting as a way to make statements. and nit, how is the palestinian authority reacted to this public condemnation of the summit . listening to the news of the official agency, why fi and the voice of palestine. they were focusing a lot on the issue of international legitimacy. they were promoting this meeting as if it's a political meeting. but palestinians would tell you they are aware that this is a security meeting given the nature of the officials that are present, given the fact that it was agreed on as a part of the mission to regain the palestinian authorities. security control in the occupied with bank so many passengers will tell you they don't believe that this meeting is going to be getting them any closer towards getting or becoming free from the israeli occupation. but at the same time palestinian officials are trying to say that, you know, off the record that they're being under pressure by region and forces the us is interested in the nation. so that kind of telling us off the record and, and behind closed doors, really don't have many other options. ok, thank you. about knit abraham. there for us live in ramallah, the head of south africa state power company has left his job of the keys in government
