If it closes their Diplomatic Mission and washington d. C. Welcome to aljazeera live from my headquarters and me and the parana im also ahead. Take to the streets in zimbabwe a day before president mugabes party holds a meeting to decide his fate. Lebanese Prime Minister meets the french president paris and says he will return to his country next week loss. Of aversive and fortune to central asia. Where travel to carry the search of the elusive cat. Will begin with news of major tension building and us palestinian relations the trumpet ministration. Says it will close the palestine liberation organizations Diplomatic Office in washington d. C. The u. S. State Department Says the p. L. O. Has broken voles by calling for an International Permanent Court Prosecution against israel for building illegal settlements a two thousand and fifteen us law bars palestinians from approaching the i. C. C. Against israel while the p. L. O. Office in the us has been open since the one nine hundred eighty s. And the plan to close it has led to serious concerns about efforts to find peace in the region its also being seen as an attempt to force the Palestinian Authority and to enter in direct negotiations with israel well israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he respects the u. S. Decision but the p. L. O. Which the International Community sees as the official representative of all palestinians has threatened to end all contact with the u. S. If the office is closed while. We replied to the u. S. Administration also in writing saying that in the event that they close down the p. L. O. Office we will suspend all our communication with the administration until office is reopened meanwhile netanyahu government is destroying houses in the jabber jabber area and war as well as. The government is being rewarded and we are being punished this is totally unacceptable and it does undermine the Peace Process Don Estabrook has more from washington d. C. Well hopefully the p. L. O. Will get some sort of play or any on the reasoning behind the state departments decision to close this mission on monday the p. L. O. Is expected to have a meeting with the state departments legal team to go over this this was a decision that came down just within the last forty eight hours now the state Department Says it is acting to a law that was passed by congress that says that it can close the Mission Office if the p. L. O. Is pressuring the International Criminal court to pursue legal action against israel for alleged crimes against palestinians now the Trump Administration has ninety days to take a look at this closure and potentially keep this office open if it deems that the palestinians are having meaningful and direct talks with israel so this is not necessarily a done deal and perhaps this meeting on monday will provide some sort of clarity regarding what those talks might entail this is the first time in three decades by the way that the u. S. Has not renewed the p. L. O. Mission office here in washington d. C. Well lets get more on this now were joined by her man never it she was a member of the National Security council and the bill Clinton Administration shes joining us live from washington d. C. In this man never always a pleasure to have you with us on aljazeera what do you think the trumpet ministration is doing here you know President Trump had a very warm meeting with the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas at the start of his presidency hes had his son in law and chief negotiator jad cushion of the middle east representative jason green blatt traveling between ramallah and jerusalem to see what they can do on the one hand and now threatening to close down the p. L. O. His office in d. C. I dont think its i dont think its very well coordinated from what i understand the Trump Administration has been pursuing what President Trump promised during the campaign was which would be that he alone President Trump alone could achieve this great middle east peace this grand bargain in the middle east where none of his predecessors were able to do so and he entrusted that mission to his most is most important advisors his longtime friend mr green and his son in law jared cushion or and they have been pursuing it slowly but surely and very intently thats on one hand i think in a completely unrelated track you have republicans in congress here in washington working with Israeli Government officials this is something that was even reported on israeli t. V. Republicans in congress here working with Israeli Government officials to punish the palestinians for their pursuit of israeli officials through the International Criminal court and the palestinians continued pursuit of membership in International Organizations so on one hand i think you have the administration allowing republicans in congress here to work with the Israeli Government to purely punish the palestinians yeah and on the other hand you have President Trump trying to achieve a grand bargain in the middle east but can those two issues actually be unrelated can you punish the palestinians for taking wanted to take israel to the International Criminal court for breaking International Rule and at the same time hope that the trumpet ministrations of the has can work with the palestinians and ramallah. Well from what from what i understand the Trump Administration doesnt think the palestinians have very many options the palestinians need to talk to the United States and for the United States the palestinians are not even the most important player at this stage in their pursuit of this grand settlement in the middle east for their trouble ministration particularly within the white house among his close officials closest official closest advisers and officials like jared questioner the key player is the south are the saudis particularly crown Prince Mohammed bin some on so for the Trump Administration its not its just not that big of a deal for them to punish the palestinians on the one hand and think that they can continue to pursue middle east peace particularly with the saudis and that the palestinians will have no place else to go theyll have to deal with the United States one way or the other most men leverage its great to get your thoughts on this man leverage joining us live from washington d. C. Thank you. Lets move on to other news now tens of thousands of people of zimbabwe have been rallying across the capital calling for president Robert Mugabe to resign the ninety three year old has been under house arrest at his official residence ofter the military took control on wednesday as.

Sixty thousand dollars we are saying you should stop. This country like they have done enough i think it is. Freedom to ask all of us weve been waiting for this time for so long we have been oppressed for a very long time so we are saying. Basically. It was a united front opposition supporters people loyal to mugabe is on a party and veterans of the Liberation War against white rule marched together the main Opposition Leader Morgan Tsvangirai says the country is preparing for a post mugabe era the army seize control earlier in the week and confined the countrys leader his private residence in harare.

When activists and coordinator of the group theres a virtual and he says the military paved the way for people to protest. I think what the people back home of discovered is that the army is open the way for them to go out there and express you know. The fact that they dont like Robert Mugabe and his wife so they kind of open the door for them and these are the two main obstacles people at home so the fact that the army is given the opportunity to say you can come out and express how you feel about everything its just that as you see the numbers of people in the streets and. The people of the military do the right thing probably install a Transitional Government a government that will be all inclusive of the opposition parties and the government to not sideline the opposition before by design appears the people want the kind of Transitional Government that is all inclusive including taking on board where the opposition is saying so that they move the country forward but the main main main point so that the Transitional Government will provide you know free and fair Credible Elections that are internationally want monitored because as you know.

Lebanons Prime Minister has confirmed he will return to beirut by wednesday and hold talks with president michel on how did he made the statement during his visit to france reports from paris. In the latest twist in this political crisis saad hariri arrived at pariss look airport at dawn and headed to his apartment in the french capital it was the first time the lebanese Prime Minister had been seen in public since his sudden resignation in riyadh two weeks ago later he met the french president emmanuel markov at the elisei palace and said he would return to beirut. With regards to the political situation i will be in beirut in the next few days to take part in the celebration of our independence and all express opinions on all subjects once ive made president. Hariri was joined by his wife and eldest son but his other two children were left behind in riyadh fueling speculation about why that was at least a source is said only that it had been the hariri familys personal choice. Macro invited to really he said not to offer exile but as an act of friendship the fact that some of the rary was king of the elise is being seen by those in france as something of a diplomatic success for him and call it is the french president s mediation attempts over the past two weeks that have seen hariri finally leave riyadh. This is certainly a diplomatic success for a manual macro at the start of the lebanese crisis no one was very convinced that hed be able to get results but he succeeded in getting hariri out of saudi arabia and hopefully back to lebanon soon but that its a personal achievement for macro hes managed to reinsert france into the middle east and diplomatic arena. Many people in lebanon say theyre fed up with what they regard as foreign meddling in their affairs if hariri does make it back to beirut on wednesday hell be there is the country celebrates his independence with a Public Holiday that would be a symbolic moment would be lost on no one natasha aljazeera paris. Well that was headed his first public appearance since has resignation many in lebanon are questioning what his children were left behind in riyadh there in the hall there has more from beirut. Saddle had it is a rival to the french capital may be a way of showing that hes a free man and that hes able to leave saudi arabia but speculations about his ability to move freely have not been put to rest the very fact that he left his children behind he arrived with his wife his children stayed behind according to his aides it is because theyre theyre attending school in lebanon many in lebanon including the president believe that the Prime Minister in one way or another was a hostage in saudi arabia he was forced to resign his resignation speech was written by the saudi authorities and now we are in and the neighborhood which is considered really a hariri stronghold mixed reactions definitely but many people really asking questions on whether or not their leader is a political hostage a little of both of. You how did he saudi citizens did for saudi has influence over him and that means he has a responsibility towards they tell him something he must listen and its possible his children could be a pressure court. He wasnt salty and its natural that hes there and hopefully he would return this is his country. Behind only he and. This may be a family issue but. I would like to know why i would like to thank president for not accepting his assignation because if you gave her. The First Official confirmation that saddam will be returning to. The man himself. Not long after landing in paris held a phone conversation with lebanons president telling him that he will be here to attend the Independence Day celebrations on november the twenty second now what happens when he. Insists on his resignation or will he decide to be reappointed as Prime Minister and form a new government but on condition that hezbollah which is allied with iran is not participating in this new government so a lot of questions on what comes next and that is why many in lebanon fear that the crisis is not over because saudi iranian rivalry which is really playing out across the region is now being played out in lebanon.
