Hello im Maryam Namazie and youre watching aljazeera also coming up trump tells the Palestinian Leader he intends to move the u. S. Embassy in israel to jerusalem abbas warns of dangerous consequences. Celebratory rally by who sees and yemens capital where a funeral for former president Ali Abdullah Saleh has been postponed. And the International Olympic committee bans most of russian athletes from the winter games though some will still be allowed to compete. Be a mayor of kuwait has called for a blueprint to resolve the gulf crisis during the g. C. C. Summit in quite city katter and kuwait are the only gulf nations to have sent heads of state to the summit others were represented by ministers or deputy Prime Ministers it follows a regional dispute which began when saudi arabia bahrain in the u. A. E. Cut ties with cattle in june. I would like to point out the reason for this summit jordan is very sensitive time regionally and internationally and that is the wisdom and the good judgment of all the leaders of the g. C. C. And their belief of the importance of this organization under any circumstance. Jamal michel joins us now from kuwait and nothing concrete seems to have emerged jamal has anything been achieved by this summit that. Well not much i mean aside from the fact that they managed to prove that the g. C. C. Is store able to convene a summit albeit a very short one that only lasted a few hours and one that lacked any real representation for several of the member countries as you mentioned saudi arabia the United Arab Emirates opting to send a degree level diplomats sign that they not only maybe didnt want to reciprocate the efforts of coates to mediate a solution but also that they were really interested maybe in terms of trying to resolve the conflict that has struck at the heart of the g. C. C. So in terms of actually achieving anything maybe aside from meeting in agreeing that the next meeting would take place at another neutral country in terms of it being hosted by a little in the way of actual real results here was there any concern about the status quo and whether or not theres a path forward or does it look as though this crisis is sort of frozen in stalemate. Well that is the big question and the reality is it does look that it is a very big bleak future for the g. C. C. At least in terms of just what an uphill struggle its going to be to try and bridge what is possibly the biggest divide that struck at the heart of the g. C. C. In the forty year or the years that its been of existence not only has this crisis going on for exactly six months to the day now not only have the calls by call wait for dialogue been rejected or at least. The countries of the blockade in qatar have not responded positively to it but also on the same day as this summit was meant to take place we had the statements coming out of the United Arab Emirates announcing a new corporation with a structure between it and saudi arabia that would focus on Economic Security political cultural and military cooperation between the two countries outside of the g. C. C. So the reality of it is that not only have some of these countries not reciprocated the attempts to try and bolster the corporation and mend fences but theyve actually gone out of their way maybe to instigate or antagonize the countries that are trying to safeguard what is really the source or the last remaining source of stability in a region which is forged by conflict and disunity and other challenges from from from from each side of the region all right thank you very much general michel following that summit there for us in kuwait city. U. S. President has called the leaders of palestine jordan egypt and saudi arabia to inform them of his intention to move the u. S. Embassy to israel from tel aviv to jerusalem a call has been met with criticism across the board with the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas saying it will have dangerous consequences and the saudi king warning it will inflame the feelings of muslims donald trump is expected to announce his decision on wednesday after a six month waiver to delay the move expired last week israel claims all of jerusalem as its United Capital while East Jerusalem is seen by palestinians as the capital of their future state our position the position of president progress is very complete you know if. Theyre going to give him this is going to be moved to the jerusalem this is against the law and this is this will be home acceptable for some. This. Would probably give it to the north to go to the peace brooklyns maybe it will be the end of the Peace Process hopefully not a good solution would back that out from this region if. You couldnt. Or in a moment well speak to her abdul hamid who is in ramallah but first lets go live to kimberly healthcare is in washington d. C. Do we know much more about the u. S. Presence conversations today. Well the white house has been promising that there would be readouts on these calls but we have not received of yet weve been getting most of the information as you point out cautioning the president against any sort of formal declaration and move of the u. S. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem by a number of leaders around the world but whats interesting when it comes to these readouts is that we know that the french president crawl on monday did in fact also caution the president against this but we learned that from the readout from the french president s office not from the white house the white house amid that in its readout so one can expect when the white house does talk about this and there is a White House Press briefing coming up in the next hour that certainly reporters will be pressing on this but the chorus of sort of condemnation about any sort of announcement with respect to moving the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem seems to be growing ever louder not only outside the United States but also inside the United States for example there is the liberal leaning jewish group called j. Street here in the United States is very committed to the two state solution it has sent out a press release saying that it believes this would be in its words a profound mistake and theyre also Career Foreign Service officers within the state department who are not going on record but are in fact saying the very same thing on the Near Eastern Affairs desk we know that there are a number that have expressed deep concern so these are all the messages that are going to the Trump White House but at the same time the consistent message we get is its not a question of if the embassy will be moved to jerusalem but when thank you very much kimberly how kant and washington d. C. Live now to the whos in ramallah so hearing from committee the hold of it it looks now as though it is a certainty that trump will make this move despite being cautioned and warned against it what is the latest response then from the arab league. Well the arab league has already sort of warned against taking the move and actually making it official so far everyone is talking about intention even though when you speak to palestinian officials and certainly what youre getting through to through the lines from what other arab leaders are saying is that everybody is quite sure that that intention might turn into a reality very soon everybody being very apprehensive about it now we know that jordan has called for an emergency meeting of the arab league and also of the organization of islamic cooperation to be held as soon as possible what you do get in a region where usually there is not so you dont see such of a united front lately at least well on this subject on the issue of jerusalem you are having a united front from all the arab leaders we also know i mean at the moment probably president Mahmoud Abbas and his. Aides are still trying to make as much reach out as much as possible not only within the region but really around the world we know that. Spoken to putin we know that he also has spoken to pope francis according to a statement we received so certainly hes trying to mobilize as much as possible people be World Leaders behind him trying to stop that move if indeed it will happen in the next days or in the next hours now certainly the overwhelming message you get from everyone that that would take to. Put things in a very dangerous area many people would tell you is just going to be a disastrous move and the consequences will be very serious thank you very much. Of the latest there from ramallah.
