Its 1300 hours james a little after 9 am in new york where the United NationsSecurity Council is about to hold its open session on the Israeli Palestinian conflict the issue though is the land specifically israels plans to an excess palestinian territory in the occupied west Bank Something the United Nations is urging israel to a band so we got special coverage on this news and analysis of course of the Security Council meeting with correspondents in west jerusalem and the Jordan Valley as well as of course the United Nations in new york a diplomatic editor james bays is there for us james take us through whats expected today. Well it will start we think in the next few minutes what we know is that this meeting is the regular monthly meeting of the u. N. Security council on the israeli and palestinian issue however its been upgraded this month because of the issue of an exception so ministers can take part and we know that ministers from a number of the Security Council countries will be taking part we know the Palestinian Foreign minister will be taking part in this special session all of the Security Council sessions currently are being conducted remotely what they call the video teleconference v t c and thats probably why the meeting hasnt started banging on the top of the hour because theyre getting some of those ministers who are connecting from foreign capitals getting them all connected for this meeting it is going to be a key meeting because most diplomats believe this is likely to be the last meeting on this issue before the key deadline the beginning of july the date where Prime Minister bettin netanyahu said that he may well an expanse of the west bank were going to hear from the u. N. The secretary general he is going to open this meeting and his message is going to be very clear because we know what he said so many times on this in the past that and next ation would be an illegal act an exception is something the israelis have to think about and rethink at this stage because it would be an end to the 2 state solution at the end to the oslo process a really very very important historical milestone and some believe the end of this long procession of peace efforts in this socalled Peace Process as you say james and open amazing of the Security Council as well as the secretary general who else would we expect to hear from. Well were going to hear from all of the 15 members of the Security Council will hear from the palestinians were going to hear from the israelis and were going to hear from the arab league what i think is interesting is the u. N. Secretary general going to put his case and 14 out of 15 members of the Security Council are going to back his case so it seems pretty overwhelming doesnt it but the 2 countries that dont back his position of course are the u. S. And israel and its interesting that im talking to you in 2 days time its going to be the anniversary 75 years since the signing of the u. N. Charter the end of world war 2 why is that important well that charter gives permanent members of the u. N. Security council a veto that veto in this case as it often is in subjects involving permanent members is the problem thats why they can be 14 against one and yet the u. S. Can back israel and no one else can do anything about it ok more with james bays our diplomatic editor at the u. N. As that meeting begins while we wait for it to begin well talk to harry force in west jerusalem harry obviously so much of this is james said dependent on what the Israeli Government plans post july the 1st has anything changed though in israel as a result of the new emergency unity government thats in place. Well yes i mean what has changed is the fact that as part of that unity government there is a deal that allows Benjamin Netanyahu to bring an exception either to the Israeli Cabinet and government and get approval from it or to the Israeli Parliament the knesset and seek approval or both and that is written into the deal benny gantz his former rival now defense minister having no veto over it although its very interesting to see what hes been saying just in the last day or so. The fact that the changes they were saying that whats important is is the United States this was position it israel there has been this question as to exactly what gantz would do he has indicated that he wants to see. That unilateral annex a shot in the past he said that he wants to see some kind of cooperation with jordan at least in terms of israels neighbors of of why the International Consultation well yesterday tuesday jury in a briefing to the military journalists here in israel he seemed to come very much closer to benjamin a position saying that israel did not want to be dragged into a quote deep expletive of the palestinians by the palestinians that they would continue to remain there if they did not negotiate and that if they didnt come to the table then israel would have to move on without them so that seems to be a pretty clear indication that he is coming around to netanyahu as way of thinking and thats important because there have been indications that the United States wants to see such agreement before it issues a green light and thats the other part of this equation at the moment discussions in washington among senior officials as to just exactly where they are and if so how much they will allow to be annexed and then support. So thats harry force that in west jerusalem of course more with that harry shortly just quickly back to james in new york are we getting anything on the way there. We asked were seeing now the live pictures of the virtual session of the Security Council nickel and a lot of the air whos the french ambassador who is in the top right corner of the screen of the grid screen you can seeing is launching the meeting in french and hes now going to call on the u. N. Secretary general antonio terrace as the 1st speaker of this meeting and hell be followed for more detail on the situation by his man in jerusalem the u. N. Special coordinator. And off they will be the 1st speakers of this meeting which we expect to go on for a couple of hours here at the u. N. Security council we know that the Palestinian Foreign minister is going to be speaking the israeli ambassador is going to be speaking for israel the outgoing israeli ambassador and also speakers representing the arab league and representatives of all of the 15 members of the u. N. Security council has a say any moment now well hear the secretary general who will be the 1st speaker followed by mr madoff who have a much more detailed view of the Current Situation on the ground show which i doubt it will work just as they are going to win these i think any moment now we can you know watch they when the red box changes i think the on any zone sort of chap it is worth actually distain looking at that picture right now its quite extraordinary is that these times we live in that that is a u. N. Security Council Meeting in action you know its quite restricted what they can do and some of their voting procedures a change takes longer for them to vote right now heres the secretary general lets listen and. Sure a lot more of this to clear doesnt harvest or let me guess your love is what is your why are. You going to see. Who used this vile. Just when no ones more nebulous knew it was stupid because you know. That it was because all told you and your group were preserved the minute youre out of your kids journal and exam up job these were just missing the translation there at the moment waiting to hear from the secretary general at the moment i think someones link dropped out as well sentence and on the ground against their back now as well if youre joining us just now on aljazeera on the news hour here is the secretary general of the United Nations and when i get tears over the evolving situation in israel and palestine. We are at the watershed moments israel so that the next parts of the occupied west bank as a lot of palestinians many israelis and the Brother International community if you implementers an exception of course the 2 to no serious violation of International Law grievously harmed the prospect of a 2 state solution and the count the possibilities of it in you will of negotiations i call on the Israeli Government would ban when its an exception perhaps the policy to leave the ship as reacted by can see the thing itself solved of all but thats only going to happen this week is today are United States increased economic fragility is an example of the cover in 1000 pandemic reduced our support and the recent policy decision to stop accepting me those revenues that israel collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority rescreen pleasing the hardship of the Palestinian People as i said in february when i spoke before you were the president asking the council you have my full commitment to continue supporting palestinians of these videos to resolve the conflict and then the occupation in line with International Law all relevant United Nations resolutions and Bilateral Agreements. The goal is achieving the vision of 2 steps israel and then lead them into their own plan to continue to soften a viable palestinian state living side by side in peace and security we need to secure a liquid nice borders based on the p 9067 more of those with journalism as the capital of both states i will continue to consistently speak out against any unity let me level steps that could undermine peace and the chances for resolving the Israeli Palestinian conflict so meaningful negotiations such actions also further hamper efforts with dance Regional Peace and to maintain International Peace and security i and israeli and palestinian leaders to pinney to meaningful dialogue with the support of International Community i encourage regional and International Supporters of the 2 state solution to a bring the parties back to a past wars in the gulf gated peaceful settlement i call on fellow members of the middle east quartet to take up our mandate mediation role and find a mutually agreeable framework for the parties to reengage without preconditions with us and other key states leave those must act wisely and swiftly and that which they do wield with the best the goal of a just and lasting peace is the president allow me to ask you to now give the floor to the special quality needed for the middle east Peace Process and my own while d mr nichol im not a lot of 2 but if the cards. And. It is the secretary general of the United Nations. Saying unequivocally there that israel needs to abandon its plans for an extension in the west bank. And that he will always speak up against any unilateral efforts which try to sidestep if you like the united the 2 state solution. The next speaker the Security Council so you journal of yours im devoting my regular briefing on the situation in the middle east to the 14th report on the implementation of Security Council resolution 2334 the written report you have already received and it covers the period from the 21st of march to the 4th of june this year. Before turning to the elements that have occurred since the written report i would like to reiterate to the secretary generals great concern over the continuing threat of is really an extension of parts of the occupied west bank process officials have said could begin. Deliberations over this move brought this long standing conflict to a critical juncture. An exception of the record of need all to the nature of Israeli Palestinian relations interests are pending more than a quarter of a century of International Efforts in support of the future a viable palestinian state living in Beast Security and mutual recognition of the state of israel. The secretary general has just an 8 year old who stated that any move to annex occupied palestinian territory would have serious implications in terms of International Law 2 state solution and the prospects of a negotiated sustainable Peace International and regional opposition has also been widespread european leaders continue to voice their opposition to an extension of all some of that it would amount to a violation of International Law for statements rejecting such a move have been issued in the past weeks by his majesty the king of jordan the arab league and leaders across the are all including a strong message directly to the israeli people from the United Arab Emirates in addition to the official statements we have witnessed opposition to the move from israeli and Palestinian Civil Society think tanks academics and many others multiple opinion polls have indicated that israelis are going to be divided over the issue and do not consider it as a priority as the country is in the grips of an economic crisis and rising unemployment thousands of israelis have protested the move and gatherings in tel avivs robin square and other locations across the country mr president recognizing that both peoples have a right to live and theyre out of the home 27 years ago israeli and palestinian leaders agreed to embark on a noble difficult role to result the conflict in emotions without taking unilateral action and in order to reach the final Status Agreement on a just peace today. Than ever from this goal as the prospect of a negotiated 2 state solution isnt a cult the specter of radicalization and violence emerges the only Legal Security an economic implications the threat of unilaterally alex in parts of the west bank will send one message and one message of all. Bilateral negotiations can only achieve peace we cannot allow this we have no good can come out of the breakdown of dialogue and Communications Diplomacy must be given jobs all of us who believe in the legitimate right or both palestinians and israelis to selfdetermination security and a Brighter Future must reject this move and consolidate efforts to preserve sustainable 2 state solution this is why i ask you today knowing the secretary general in his call for an immediate reengagement with no preconditions between the middle east quartet the United States the Russian Federation the European Union and the United Nations and other spinnin leadership israel and the countries of the region this is in all its find a way out of the Current Crisis i believe that only by working together we can reduce all meeting all Israeli Palestinian battle and improve stability and conditions for people around such discussions who can go on for too long let him pull sights slid. Along they voting pass unilateral action has made the goal of here even more distant. Based on shared principles and aspirations we can make then by realistic steps to avoid increasing polarization and the balance of the goal of 2 states living side by side in peace and security integrated into the region. In the interests of peace i urge the israeli and palestinian leadership to take this opportunity and through terms of the bottom engage mr president in response to the thread about extension the palestinian leadership declared itself absolved of all agreements and understanding with israel and the United States it has a subsequent hole to all of the actual contents the decisions has and will increasingly have a dramatic impact on all aspects of the end of life. Particularly worrisome is the decision to stop accepting the clearance revenues that israel collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority adding to the economic boom certainty caused by the code 19 demick the Palestinian Authority has now lost 80 percent of its monthly revenue this gap and will be filled by thomas allicin ends in gaza who live with closures and under the control of hamas for more than a decade particularly about all the ending of civilian war the nation will not allow him to receive life saving treatment already an 8 year old 8 month old infant has lost his life due to the situation surely there must be a red line when it comes to the lives of children the
