In the show must go on but when it the british theatre industry struggles to find a way forward with the covert 19 pandemic. A watershed moment that will cause the most serious violation of International Law thats how u. N. Secretary general Antonio Gates had as has described israels plans to an expanse of the occupied west bank members of the u. N. Security council of the arab league have been meeting to discuss israels move which could be put into motion as soon as next week most of them were united in their opposition with warnings that israels unilateral action could trigger a major escalation in the region. If implementing these tests could dramatically alter the local dynamics jury and civility and probably occupy part of them in turn and maybe beyond the call that is being mocked by periods of extreme violence that never before had the risk of escalation been accompanied by a political horizon unfolded on an Economic Situation both fronts arlen and the region so hold on it is crucial for all stakeholders to take action that will enable the parties to step back from the brink. Opposition is also coming from europe more than a 1000 politicians have signed a less an urge in their leaders to stop israel while on the ground in the Jordan Valley in the occupied west bank and in the been renewed protests against the u. S. Backed israeli plans. Well lets take a look at why israels annexation plans are all so controversial the occupied west Bank IncludingEast Jerusalem is part of historic palestine which has been on the Israeli Occupation since 1967 of a half a century israel is built around 250 settlements and outposts in violation of International Law more than 640000 israelis live there these illegal settlements are spread across the west bank which makes a future palestinian state nearly impossible last year Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu unveiled his plan to unilaterally declare israels sovereignty over these settlements built on occupied land it also included the most fertile parts of the occupied west bank known as the Jordan Valley in a radical shift from previous u. S. Policies President Donald Trump in january proposed that america will recognize israeli settlements as part of his middle east peace plan lets bring in our visitors harry force of his life for us now in west jerusalem it would seem that its israel the United States versus the rest of this world on this issue of the annexation of the occupied west bank harry. Thats largely that of how it seems yes i mean given the fact that there was such unity in a lot of the language that was being used to criticize the potential annexation to try to prevent it by warning of the kind of fallout that there could be regionally and indeed in terms of the situation in the occupied west bank the bilateral situation between israel and the palestinians the damage the irreversible damage in the words of the Palestinian Foreign minister to the prospects of a 2 state solution and a negotiated settlement to the conflict but youre right i think some of the most interesting aspects to all this because to some extent Benjamin Netanyahu will have been considering all of this that he has been warned about today in advance of this move some of the more interesting clues guy think can be discerned from what the u. S. Ambassador was saying as she talked about israel needing courageous leadership to take some hard choices now could there be something read into that in terms of whether the United States would demand from netanyahu some public acknowledgment all recommitment to the trump plan in its entirety which of course does include a palestinian state no matter one that is much smaller and much more constricted than the palestinians want and that is something that he has found a hard to sell to right wing settlers to other right wing is here potentially could find out how to get through the Israeli Parliament the knesset she also talked about the palestinian leadership needing to be held accountable as well so is that a signal to the palestinian leadership that the United States remains open to some kind of negotiation based on the trump plan which could head off an exception in advance where with just a few days to go before the 1st of july that seems to be the that the most. Malda in assessing it very unlikely given the fact that palestinians have rejected the Trump Administration in its entirety is not an honest broker being far too close to the israelis and theyve rejected the trump plan because of the very an exception that we are talking about and so as far as the israelis are concerned danny done on the israeli ambassador to the u. N. He was going way back into st talking about the biblical claim that israel has and that it is therefore historically and in terms of International Law legitimate it is not an annexation it is an extension of sovereignty to which the jewish people have a proper claim well i mean as far as the United Nations is concerned as far as the palestinians are concerned as far as the International Community is concerned its not a a question of biblical claims its a question of International Law as things stand now and there was a very overwhelming opinion in the u. N. Security council that an exception move would be against such law question is whether that will have any real weight when it comes to the 2 main players as you say United States and israel out of there as her aforesaid life and western islam harry and effects and say thats bringing in abraham whos in the occupied west bank Jordan Valley youve been at a process. Whats whats the mood there right now. So the protest has just ended and we you probably can see the empty chairs behind me people have left but theyve had a very strong message to deliver with heard from them as well as palast Senior Palestinian officials and they were mainly saying that they are here to say they are against israeli annexation and that although many of them are not expecting much from the United NationsSecurity Council but they are hoping that they can do protests and do gatherings that can raise their voice to the International World its worth mentioning that gatherings have been banned due to a recent surge of the coronavirus cases but for palestinians they say that this is a very important political moment and they need to raise their voices on monday weve seen thousands gathering in jericho to mark the closeness of the date of july 1st which is the date when the Israeli Government can start annexing parts of the occupied west bank and they said thats an excellent any part of the bank is a problem for the palestinians because weve heard from israeli media talks about the gradual implementation of that execution plan this is also rejected by many palestinians and the Palestinian Government and no senior officials whove met to here in a symbolic move have also announced a couple and a group of projects to help people stay in the Jordan Valley and face the continuous. Measures to drive them out of the lands are seriously to abraham that lives in the Jordan Valley and the occupied west bank the secure life out of Washington Well just their silence for sure is that the white house some of the u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o fielded a question about the potential attic sation of the occupied west bank during a press briefing there within the last hour or so what did they say. Well hes been speaking at the state Department Just 3 kilometers away from where im standing here in the white house grounds we know that the trumpet ministration has given israel a lot of what it requested you remember donald trump made a preelection promise that hed move the embassy to jerusalem he did exactly that he also recognized the an extension of the Golan Heights by israel as well that was a bit of a surprise but still something that he could crow about something that has been mentioned several times is donald trump strong links to israel Benjamin Netanyahu has called him the best u. S. President for links to israel in the history of the United States well might pompei or to cut that theme when he was asked about the proposed an extension of the occupied west bank he referred to reporters there to the cushion or a peace plan or should it be called the trump peace plan that was drawn up by a son in law and senior councilor jericho who proposed this is a way forward in the middle east he says that the an extension question is one for israel but the palestinians really need to revisit the idea of that peace plan i regret only the house to this refused to do just that. Simply this of leaders rejected this out of hand we the country. Was outlined in the vision for peace and they have chosen not to theyve chosen to threaten to bluster certainly going to deny the ability to do security progress for them yesterday and people. So we spoke to Kellyanne Conway who is a senior counselor to donald trump here at the white house just a couple of hours ago we asked her about the proposed an exemption she again said donald trump is a real friend of israels and we should expect a big announcement in the next couple of days we kind of know where thats going because in the trump peace plan he suggested that an extension would be something that he could live with even though we know that it could provoke a reaction around the world both politically and domestically too and that means that were expecting that announcement to give us an idea that yes the United States is very much on board with that idea its also good for Donald Trumps reelection prospects or at least thats what the Trump Campaign and the white house believes donald trump has often said he is a big friend of visual he believes that plays particularly well with evangelical christians and its certainly something that he would like to do to try and shore up his base as we move closer to november the thought out as there as alan fischer reporting live from the white house in washington many thanks allan Israeli Police have shot dead a palestinian man in the occupied west bank police say that.

After weeks of increasing tension on the Korean Peninsula including the destruction of the joint Liaison Office north korea has announced that it suspending plans for military action against the south the norths state media says the decision was made during a meeting of the ruling Party Central military commission chaired by kim jong il and the leaders sister kim yo jong whos in charge of relations with the south but warned of possible attack. Well south korea says it believes the meeting was very unusual and that its paying close attention it said that it would keep working to stop provocative acts from its soil those include sending propaganda leaflets over the border which pyongyang a said is behind its recent actions. We saw the report from the north and we are reviewing it in a close serious way we will monitor the situation our government stance remains that the 2 koreas should add here to the Bilateral Agreement apart from this we stress again and will continue to sternly respond to acts such as sending anti north leaflets which creates tensions between the south and north and threatens the safety of people in the border area thursday is the 70th anniversary of the start of the korean war it was seen as the 1st major conflict in what was called the cold war between east and west Commemoration Service is due to be held in the many countries that took part and on the Korean Peninsula itself i was here as well but pride reports now from south Koreas Capital seoul.

The war lasted 3 years with millions of chinese troops supporting the north and a multinational u. N. Force led by the us supporting the south. To this day theres been no formal end to the war only an armistice in spite of attempts to secure one most recently during improved into korean relations.
