Welcome to the program the u. S. Can no longer play a role as a mediator in the Israeli Palestinian conflict thats the message palestinian leaders after donald trump ignored global opposition to formally recognize jerusalem as israels capital a general strike has been called in the occupied palestinian territories in protest our leaders there have called the three days of rage how the force that begins our coverage from occupied East Jerusalem. This announcement had been trailed for days now it was up to donald trump to make the case that a wildly controversial move opposed by the palestinians arab states and most of the International Community who could advance the Peace Process it would be folly to assume that repeating the exact same formula would now produce a different or better result therefore i have determined. That it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel trump said he was directing the state department to begin preparations to move the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem from tel aviv talk of architects and engineers confirming earlier suggestions that this would be a matter of years not days we are not taking a position of any final status issues including the specific boundaries of the israeli sovereignty in jerusalem or the resolution of contested borders before made this speech white house officials were trying to frame it saying that it didnt define the final status of a terrorist well that could still be negotiated between israelis and palestinians in a two state solution if that is what both parties still want it over for the palestinians this is the United States definitively taking sides in this conflict in a prerecorded message the palestinian president said trump was merely encouraging continued occupation. In washington got these denounce and rejected measures create deliberate constraints to all of the efforts towards realizing peace and reflect the United States withdrawal from practicing its role as a peace mediator israel to have repaired its messaging on a day that Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu called is story called milestone the president s decision is an important step towards peace for there is no peace that doesnt include jerusalem as the capital of the state of Israel Palestinians living in occupied East Jerusalem would have heard little in President Trump speech recognizing their own historical connection to the city which they too view as their capital jerusalem is Christian Churches world of conflict violence and irreparable harm. Donald trump made reference to a perceived lack of courage on the part of his predecessors who failed to make this decision now he will have to wait along with the region to see what consequences it brings or a force that joins me now live from occupied East Jerusalem three days of rage in a very sensitive area where you are harry whats going on there right now. Well so far the general strike that has been called seems to be being observed schools in occupied East Jerusalem are closed shops are closed but generally there the situation seems relatively calm there are tourists coming in and out of the old city as they usually do weve spoken to the police here and they say that the security arrangements in the old city and in jerusalem as a whole are at a standard level they see no indications at this time of any heightened risk but thats something that they will continue to reassess during the day we are also hearing that away from here in the occupied west bank the Israeli Military is deploying several extra battalions of soldiers in order to to meet any potential Security Issues that they feel might be coming the United States its being reported did ask israel to be relatively muted in its response to this announcement from donald trump a recognition that they made this this decision donald trump issued this to declaration in the full knowledge that it could cause. Serious protest at the very least on the ground if not violence and so that is the situation of the moment so far things are relatively quiet but as you say three days of rage have been called its perfectly possible that there will be for the protests during the day will come back to you if and when that situation does develop or harry forces in occupied East Jerusalem well theres been a strong reaction of course from hamas which controls the gaza strip its the dish many as calling for a new Palestinian Uprising or another into father against israel who acted elm today i am stressing that jerusalem is unified no East Jerusalem. Jerusalem is a Palestinian Arab Muslim city and is the capital city of the whole of palestine. Today i am saying that palestine is unified from the sea to the river unified palestine will never be divided into two countries now you say the socalled Peace Process has gone forever once and for all and then we will go out of the oslo dark tunnel. Just for barghouti is the secretary general of the Palestinian National initiative and a former palestinian information minister he joins me now from ramallah in the occupied west bank good to have you with us on aljazeera again sir now the u. S. Is believed to be unable to act as an arbiter by many in the muslim world and the also a cause really a dead in the water they have been for a long time Decision Just confirms that know which direction do the Palestinian Authority go in next to find recourse for an independent palestinian state. Palestinian authority of course. Because it has been. Its programs on the socalled two state solution and. As you said. That the israelis have killed a long time ago. And practically. Joining. To the in your opinion is it. In your opinion is a two state solution in any way possible now. I dont know but what is important for us is one thing. And was never supposed to be an alternative to palestinian freedom. And freedom but. We always said we want our freedom more than two state solution or one state solution if israel is killing the it will be its responsibility of killing it but that does not leave us and we will have. One Democratic State solution that means that it cannot be. That. Could be the Prime Minister of that state either they want equality equality for everybody or do they have to end occupation i think the whole Peace Process the whole two state solution went from the very first time because it started talking about instead of saying. And thats the problem we face today but of course mr you know we just heard speaking that talking about the failure of successive palestinian leaders to find a breakthrough to be unified he is partly to blame for that as well and im sure he would take. Blame for that too is the palestinian leadership will it have to go through a complete overhaul to look at itself and decide are we the right people to lead our nation forward if they are even in desperate situations as refugees in other countries. I hope you can give me time just to say one thing first of all that what happened yesterday was. So serious and so dangerous this is not just a time for throwing slogans emotionally its time to say that we the palestinians are going to have an alternative program which means yes unity first i only five palestinians leadership and that means have to put aside their fight. And join forces with all of us in a National LiberationMovement Second yes we might be talking about a popular wide uprising but nonviolent let me be very very clear similar to the first and the father thats what we need because there israelis must see Palestinian Resistance everywhere said we have to the palestinian strength and participation not only between palestinians and joke about that it is but also those in the past better and those inside israel itself its time for the palestinians to be unified again to be united again. And put a compromise that was a the expense of our rights now israel decided it wants everything they want everything we would fight for if its ok for the case of mr lets talk about the role very quickly about the United States if they cannot be seen as. A neutral arbiter thats the general consensus from the speakers weve had on this program from analysts from other politicians and from other globe. World leaders if you cant deal with the United States that who steps into that position is it the e. U. Is it russia is it china youve got to have another heavyweight surely on your side to make israel listen to what you want as well. There has to be international pressure. We have to. Believe and. People. Have to show that by actions not just by statements like Critical Condition immediately or. These actions are very much if you talk about a future Peace Process it will never be. Any more. If there will be a future it has to be within the framework of. International United Nations resolutions. China. South africa many other countries of the respect. To be one thing American Administration has made the United States. Policy. Thank you very much for your time. In. New critically important to me got our eyes on it today whats going on behind you. And. Your Prime Minister. On an already visit because hes in the process of going through a reconciliation. On the Palestinian Authority was running. A troll. Palestinian authority and that reconciliation process is continuing and that is why Prime Minister was here today of course he spoke about trumps announcement toms announcement of recognizing jerusalem the capital of israel and he said just a few moments ago that we is that we condemned these days just decision he said destroys all the efforts of the Peace Process and end any american involvement in the Peace Process that is the message that you put acco on palestinian leadership yesterday well hear it echoed again today youll hear from hamas and you heard it from the palestinian Prime Minister what he also called for and that is what the reason he was for this reconciliation to continue he said that by palestinians working towards reconciliation it makes them give them a united front to combat the decision by trying to recognize to roost as the capital of israel so it heard that from palestinian Prime Minister weve heard from hamas they all want reconciliation although hamas as weve heard before has been critical now of the previous palestinian approach to the Peace Process saying no way so of course speaking as you say leader of hamas a short time ago was talking very much about a unified jerusalem that belonged to palestine was fighting talk it can be misinterpreted in many ways by other politicians who dont quite see eye to eye with hamas its time now as he said for all palestinian factions to sit round the table and talk and this is all part of the reconciliation process do you get a feeling on the ground burnet being in gaza city that there really is that impetus to try and find common ground. Well i think most significantly here in gaza rise in other palestinian territories there is frustration anger drums announcement and there is sadness so yes there is a unified palestinian mood. If you like towards trumps announcement and that is perhaps giving impetus to the calls to. Jale this reunification process but theres an awful amount of an awful lot of pressure on Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority pressure because hamas and other palestinian factions will blame them and are blaming them for the for getting to this stage will blame them for the past twenty five years of on off peace talks between israel and the palestinians that has got the palestinians nowhere while the israelis continue to build settlements to control to encroach on to occupied territory so yes a call verena for cation but yes also a lot of pressure on the Palestinian Authority to come back with some sort of credible forceful response and action towards Donald Trumps statement yesterday well leave it there for the moment but it and follow events with you through the day thanks very much. Well still ahead here on aljazeera well learn more on whether allegations iran had a nuclear bomb was a myth.
