That have been surfaced are addressed -- opening the consulate in jerusalem, and i told the secretary of state in my letter, as well as publicly, we need to begin to address the underlying conditions be that has to do with annexation. that has to do with settlement expansion and that has to do with all of the humanitarian assistance that the palestinians, that we need to put on the table, so we can move forward towards a two-state solution. we have to address that and work through this. but we h...

Minister benjamin netanyahu this hour before heading to the west bank to talk with palestinian leaders. blinken will work to get aid into gaza but hes made it clear restarting long-term peace talks is not on the agenda this time. cnn correspondents are in place for each stop of blinkens day. we will go to our hadas gold in jerusalem later this hour, but first to nic robertson who joins us live from ramallah. nic, u.s. secretary of state antony blinken set to hold a news conference with israels p...

U.s. will make a significant contributions to rebuilding gaza. he said there will be more details on that later today. he also spoke about the need to make sure that this aid flowing into gaza does not end up in the hands of hamas. they will somehow benefit from it. theres a big concern amongst the international community that this aid will end up in the hand of hamas helping them rebuild their tunnels or rockets arsenal. what is notable about what we heard from the secretary of state is while t...

You know, a military response will not get us where we need to go. this conflict has been raging for decades. we continue to talk about a two-state solution, but it seems like only a talking point. the biden administration needs to be incredibly assertive, urgent and engaging in coming up with a diplomatic solution, one that values the lives of palestinians and israelis alike. theres an occupation in gaza and the occupation needs to end. that is clear and present. thats something we have to brin...

Other purposes beyond humanitarian aid. i also think whats interesting is benjamin netanyahu mentioning iran, saying that they did talk with blinken about israels opposition to returning to the iran deal and blinken spoke about the need to continue this ceasefire, to ensure that it stands. u.s. officials were briefing reporters that that is the main goal of these visits. blinken starting this visit in jerusalem. later today will meet with the israeli foreign minister, the defense minister and th...

Potential cat catalysts for a renewed cycle of violence. and building on that, try to in a dramatic way improve peoples lives and add a real sense of dignity and hope. if that happens -- and that will take some time, that may i think produce a better environment in which ultimately theres a possibility of resuming the effort to achieve a two-state solution, which we continue to believe is the only way to truly ensure israels future as a democratic state and give the palestinians a state their en...

Perhaps we will learn more about what was discussed about what they can do to maintain the ceasefire. one thing that is interesting is that the u.s. officials pretty much said that although this is the first visit and its a very important visit, they are not intend to go immediately start speaking about a long-term peace solution or start discussions about a two-state solution. that this visit is solely focused on the ceasefire and maintaining the ceasefire and starting the process of rebuilding...

May 18, 2021 There is an important distinction between prediction and warning. No one can now predict how the current fighting between Israel and the Palestinians will end, or if it will even pause for a prolonged period – a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas can easily become the prelude to a new low-level, sporadic war of attrition or Intifada. History teaches all too well that any form of new agreement can become the prelude to new acts of political extremism and polarization – to acquir...
