finish and therefore israel has an obligation to provide that protection but we stand ready to help israel find alternative solutions for some of these refugees we've got my neighbor why does israel not want to look at these to be jumping in here when these alternative solutions posed by the un h.c.r. for example and is this actually even legal. it is legal israel like all other democratic states is obliged not to send a refugee to a country where there is a well founded fear that will be persecuted because of his race religion or political views and is a abides by this therefore we are not sending people back to sudan for instance although they came from sudan however it's perfectly legal to send to other countries who are willing to accept them israel does this other countries do it it's a tragedy for the of these. african refugees but it is time is war can't solve the problem isn't it israel throw your money in here only because it's kind of their race and their religion the fact that they are not jewish that they are black migrant know in the last the last two years we've got deported

morning iran brazenly violated israel sovereignty israel holds iraq and its syrian post responsible for today's aggression we will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect our sovereignty and our security the allies of syria and enemies of israel celebrated the downing of the warplanes. fighters from the pro iranian hezbollah group gathered on the border between lebanon and israel as israeli soldiers looked on. the iranian president hassan rouhani condemned the israeli action in syria. yet it if one country thinks it can get desirable results by posting terrorism obama but in neighboring countries then it is making a mistake we are ready to defend the security of the region and we call on all other countries to cooperate in this shit boss the loss of the jet comes as israel acknowledged for the first time and attack on iranian targets in syria. earlier i spoke to his middle east correspondent tanya kramer in jerusalem i started by asking her how serious this confrontation is. it is a one of the most serious situations we have seen in the north of the past he has one very sign

a severe response from now on israel's reaction syria is playing with fire. and i know our we're joined by our middle east correspondent tanya in jerusalem tanya great to see you let's dive into this very complicated situation so syria has denied that its ally iran drone entered the israeli air space how serious is this confrontation between israel and the law and iran in light of the syria situation. it is one of the most serious situations we have seen in the north of the postie is one very significant one and also from this we decided based on winning to iran that we heard prime minister binyamin netanyahu has been security meetings old day with the army saying that israel will defend itself against any attack and you're tempted by that it's. now is a has made it clear all along that it won't. rain in presence. its borders and the israeli side of the occupied golan heights through in the ukrainian presence or through the opinion backed has been now so what is seen here is on the one side you see a show of strength you know by all sides by is granted by ira

that surrounded israel is surrounded israel surrounded surrounded it's israel the sun the siege and under threat you described a very small land mass and you know you're dealing with hamas and hezbollah and iran and so on i would like that it's a tough neighborhood the imagery here is so powerful that it's almost impossible to have a rational discussion about the legitimate grievances of palestinians hamas is a terror group and it is committed to killing jews and wiping israel off the face of the earth that's not debatable that's a fact none of this is by accident this is the result that with the liberal effort to shape america perceptions of the conflict a propaganda effort that really begins to take shape with israel's invasion of lebanon in one thousand nine hundred two. israel unleashed another massive air attack on palestinian guerrilla targets in lebanon today from the sky. and israeli jets bombing bombing. and the summer of nine hundred eighty two israel invaded neighboring lebanon in an attempt to drive the palestinian liberation organization out of its income and some south

israel was very, very successful. of course, while doing that, also paying a heavy moral price. >> you say a heavy moral price. what is that heavy moral price? that is the heart of this issue for a state like israel. >> heavy moral price is first that you need to make a call, who are you killing? it's easy when you're talking about terrorists. people who kill people, and are going to kill more people tomorrow. it's harder when you're talking about proli liferators. the top scientists were killed. these people are sovereign or working employees of the sovereign country, legitimate project, and they were killed are talking about collateral damage. this is a diabolic question. you are a leader of the country, in israel only the prime minister is allowed to execute, or okay a kill. you know that you have a target. tomorrow, this target is going to kill more israelis by sending suicide bombers and you kill him only if you kill him and his wife who is using as a human shield. what do you do? the answer that many israeli lea

a severe response from now on israel's reaction syria is playing with fire. earlier i asked the middle east correspondent tanya kramer if it's likely that a further escalation while now fall. well it seems that most of the military and it still says saying that none of the sites would like to see an escalation. but at the same time i mean it is about as concern has always been that iran and through its proxies like hezbollah will entrenched itself in the area near the israeli golan heights michael and heights near the border area and they want to avoid that so this is the israeli line has been you know this is a red line and they will whatever they see if it's a threat they will attack this now. they also say i mean this is a show of strength now from all sides i think you could say. nobody wants an escalation but of course we have to wait and see whatever follows from this incident but no time in talis just want has been israel's involvement in syria to what extent have they been conducting operations there since the civil war broke out in that country. well

between israel and syria and definitely between israel and iran in many years perhaps in ten or fifteen years we have not seen the like a fruit. that's must live to jerusalem now to discuss this with not blumenthal of fact and senior editor at the real news dot com to plymouth all welcome to the practice good to see you again in jerusalem might not you tell us what the situation is like that what the feeling is in the city and have you heard anything if he felt anything. you know right now in tel aviv prime minister benjamin netanyahu and defense minister avigdor lieberman are meeting with army chief of staff got the eyes on the cot and the. entire army command at the defense ministry this meeting has been going on since the morning no one has come out netanyahu has muzzled his cabinet ministers and at the same time it's. been reported that netanyahu has gotten on the phone with his american and russian counterparts in an attempt to deescalate the situation netanyahu seems to have every intention of not escalating which is very significant for a number of reasons and when he muzzles his

iran also denies that it committed an act of aggression against israel last week that it sent a drone into our airspace to threaten our people well. here's a piece of that iranian drone or what's left of it after we shot it down. i brought it here so you can see for yourself mr zarif. do you recognize this. you should it's yours. you can take back to do a message to the car and soldier on. do not. use rules resolve. ok let's cross live now to munich where i did have you chief political editor. is standing by for us some. you were in the plenary when benjamin netanyahu was addressing it should give us an idea of the mood in the reception that his speech received. well to one degree there was no real surprise kitty israel is visibly angered but people did hold their breath when he held up this piece of drone that iran still continues to deny its own that it knows this drone into the air space really the message that came through here is not just that iran is seen as a threat seen as a power that tries to extend its power base now into syria something that benjamin netanyahu was adamant

sixteen crashed in israel pilots are safe iran is responsible for this their violation of israel use of serenity event more to follow the reason they're blaming iran for all of this is because they feel squarely that iran is behind all of the aggression when it comes to. president bashar al assad's actions within syria they say that iran is the power behind the throne particular when it comes to the support of the lebanese group hezbollah so there is that side of this the happening right now this is very easy for the israelis to do that very well equipped to blame iran for anything that happens in syria what's of more concern to the israelis right now is how this f. sixteen was shot down by israeli story by syrian air defenses hasn't been a f. sixteen or a fighter jet that's been full and as a result of any census terms for a very long times as likely to be a big inquiry the syrians were likely to be celebrating this as a chink in the israeli air force all of these worries present pride themselves on the fact that they can patrol the air space over the arab world without much competi

the israeli occupied you know anything about it by israel by talking about israel's security tourists were taken there it was the safest delegation in israel no it's a was or why because the israeli government together with western governments decided to do some regime change in syria i don't know there crying in iran is split in its influence and mr netanyahu comes to what's called to negotiate that russians will somehow pressure iran not to spread into that area they have themselves to blame for that in that war if there is any you know julian here gentlemen here and we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news with our.

it's the most significant incident between israel. since the start of the syrian civil war seven months ago rather. well for more on this now we're going to cross over to our middle east correspondent tanya cramer joining us now from jerusalem tanya israel may say it doesn't want an escalation but how likely is one based on what's happened today well i mean israel has always laitos as red lines and that is another stern warning because they are concerned that iran in trenches itself in syria especially in the area that is close to the occupied israeli golan heights the armistice line of the border so they have said that before that they don't want to see iran or through its proxies like hezbollah are becoming entrenched in that area so was it significant that the army says there has been. an unmanned drone that entered israeli aspace and owning that there responded to that so i think you know military experts here are saying it's kind of this is a show of force at the same time though saying you know stating again the red lines but at

morning iran brazenly violated israel's sovereignty israel holds iran and its syrian post responsible for today's aggression we will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect our sovereignty and our security. laws of syria and enemies of israel celebrated the downing of the warplane fighters from the pro raney and hezbollah group gathered on the border between lebanon and israel as israeli soldiers looked on the iranian president hassan rouhani condemn the israeli action in syria. yet if one country thinks it can get desirable results by posting terrorism or bombarding neighboring countries then it is making a mistake we are ready to defend the security of the region and we call on all other countries to cooperate in this loss. the loss of the jet came as israel acknowledged for the first time an attack on iranian targets in syria. the other stories making news around the world. britain's development minister has threatened to cut funding to charities who failed to tackle sexual misconduct among stuff this officer a newspaper reports said aid workers from the oxfam charity illeg

began when israel says it spotted an iranian drone flying in its airspace and intercepted it israel says the drone originated from syria so it responded with a major air raid in syrian territory with its air force targeting alleged iranian bases israeli jets then came under syrian air anti-aircraft fire and that's when the f. sixteen was hit. so israel had launched a second series of strikes attacking at least a dozen syrian and iranian bases inside syria israel's air force says it's the most significant attack against syria since the one thousand nine hundred two lebanon war emraan com reports from lustrous on. in the early hours of saturday morning syria's war escalated to a new level for the first time in thirty years israel lost a fighter jet to enemy fire as israel confirms syrian air defense shot at one of its f. sixteen fighter jets these really ply minister was blunt is roles iran and its most responsible for today's aggression we will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect our sovereignty and our security but the crash followed the shooting down of a drone israeli army

and israel is no match for you ron. it's power is basically linked to the united states iran is not going to initiate any conflict with israel regime iran believes that israel must cease to exist because it is an apartheid state like its sister apartheid regime in. south africa i see it by the way the israelis gave the apartheid regime in south africa let me clear weapons too but but this really is should recognize that if they initiate any conflict against iran or against friends of iran this release will definitely not ok let me go to mr a bit obama said i want to go what if the israelis decided to retaliate of the iranians decided to fire back what kind of scenario do you see for the future of syria of the reason. i could see that contentment for the this escalation going to be and i don't know i can't speculate in days possibly but we would see continuance of israeli strike. face saving for their it of and need to be our of that that is very knows very well and that's the general that's the nature of war has been ch

the support inside israel for all of this isn't unanimous for settlements israel is a democracy and we have the right we have the left the right is for settlement the left is against at the moment the center basically distinguish between. the blocks and the rest of the settlement so there is an argument in israel and i can pour me . most of these are still two state solution. to head off a think tanks are doing. it every year and still sixty percent it used to be sixty seven that the two state solution and if reasonable agreement will be put forward by the us by russia by the cult that and the palestinians will agree for the settlement will not be an obstacle for peace do you think there is it was not in gaza in two thousand and four do you think that the annexation and annexing the settlement could be a possibility i'm asking this because i know that netanyahu always emphasizes on the fact that. any peace there would actually include settlements closer to israel proper perhaps living. once again the blocs the five six percent that the blocks are built upon will be part of his or this

the support inside israel for all of this isn't unanimous for settlements israel is a democracy and we have the right we have the left the right is for settlement the left is against at the moment the center basically distinguish between. the blocks and the rest of the settlement so there is an argument in israel and i can. most of the. two state solution. to head off a think tanks are doing. it every year and there are still sixty percent to choose to be sixty seven that the two state solution and if. will be put forward by the us by russia by that and the palestinians will agree for the settlement will not be an obstacle for peace do you think there is it was not in gaza in two thousand and five do you think that the annexation and annexing the settlement could be a possibility i'm asking this because i know that netanyahu always emphasizes on a fact that. any peace there would actually include settlements closer to israel proper perhaps living. once again the blocks the five six percent that the blocks are built upon will be part of his work this is agreed once again not only in the

if the americans that if this process so how do you expect we are a multilateral format to work if israel isn't part of it while we don't think that it should work without without israel but we think that it's the duty of the international community to push the israelis to accept certain things including its will to establish a multilateral format as you said a mechanism that mechanism in our mind should be responsible for putting together the basis for negotiations and for following up the negotiations and sponsor them. donald trump has recently said that he's not sure both israel and palestine want to move forward peace towards peace at this point and he then said let's wait and see if more things can move forward do you agree has to us let peace process stopped in a strike for now. we don't think that the statement was a fair one we think that the palestinian and the palestinian side has always proved beyond any doubt its willingness to to not only to negotiate but to actually reach an agreement something that the israelis have never done in in terms of talks and of deeds as well let's

israel's capital g. i feel like it's helping the israeli palestinian process or the contrary i don't think that it's. it's disturbing as the palestinians are claiming. if you listen very very carefully to. the basics say i recognize the reality and i recognize the fact that jerusalem is the capital of israel and jerusalem when you hear is voice the coordinates of places in jerusalem so to mention you say the knesset the parliament is in jerusalem the prime minister's office in jerusalem the supreme court court is in it goes a little all of them in west jordan if i were a palestinian i wouldn't birth his speech so you know all the places selling us dollars a lot trump saying the same speech the future borders will be decided in the go. between israel and palestine he said the status quo on the karma sheriff is not going to change this is basically can play to the palestinians demonstrates why they have made such a big deal out of it let me tell you les have tell you a secret because a new is a term plan i

respected in israel and we see it as a friendly country so like you were saying israel has traditionally enjoyed washington's support but just recently president trump said that he actually doubts that israel is interested in making peace with palestine do you think it's a valid concern i think a lot of things and you take only one of them. no doubts that both. and president obama. took positions in the last couple of years that make peace farther from us rather than close both of them has no positions cannot. close the gap. the gap between the palestinians and this. is huge. each side willing to give to the other side is not up to the minimum of the us and what is the sofa what is the. we all know what are the palmettos. deal between israel and the palestinians it is basically the clinton public. and everybody knows that each one of the sides should do every painful concession said to go against the national narrative zervos believes are religious the palestinians have to agree to recognize that israel is a jewish state and this is the end of conflict and finality of claims they have to

do not turn israel's resolve israel's prime minister calls iran the greatest threat to the world as he addresses a security conference in munich. two palestinians a shot dead by israeli forces following an explosion that injured israeli soldiers . sixty six people feared dead in an iranian passenger plane crash in the mountainous province and donald trump blames the f.b.i. for the florida school shooting that left seventeen people dead and i'm far as smile of all the latest from the winter olympics in chunk chang as australia's skiing legend marcel are sure when it's a second gold medal of the games and the man is giant slalom. israel and iran of exchange stinging criticism of a growing tension in the middle east israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu told delegates at the munich security conference that iran is the greatest threat to the world he vowed to prevent to iran's nuclear ambitions and warned it not to test israel's resolve. israel will not allow iran's regime to put a noose of terror around our neck. we will act without hesitation to defend ourselves and we will act if n

how does that work in israel? >> it has been working the same since israel was established. having the power, the israeli prime minister, sometimes they will assemble a small committee, usually almost always the ministry of defense or foreign affairs or one of the religious ministers or some authority from god, she wanted to have that as part of the decision-making process but they all understood and still understand the gravity of that to issue a death verdict in a country that does not have death penalty and doing that without due process , there's nothing there. the only thing you had is the chief of the organization coming to the prime minister to convince him. this is usually happening in his private house, the house of the prime minister injures them. the chief of the organization, whoever he is, he is not bringing with him, he is bringing the intelligent officers. these are people, most under the age of 30. some of them under the age of 35. this is how the israeli system works. they are trying to convince the prime minister, just imagine the drama that unfolds. also,

israel says we started this process. it will negotiate what israel i. theof israel never took 1967 formula is a formula for implication but as a starting point for grabbing more. unacceptable. unacceptable. for a nation that has been able to conceive 70% of its own land concede 70% of its , it is toor peace much. the 1967 formula is not only a palestinian peace agenda, it is a international equilibrium. clarity of the current administration that they are not going to endorse the two state solution and in our opinion, this dangerously plays into the hands of the netanyahu government. given this situation, president trump mentioned one state. this is interesting. and important. i wish the u.s. had mentioned 1988before our declaration. before we accepted international agenda, we had the plo. 1988 declaration. one state for all citizens with full equal rights. palestinians except the two state solution because of the international community. they were oriented around that idea. ideass administration has for a one state solution, we are interested in hearing

former head of the israel's military intelligence. the cost of israel's military presence in palestine and has been living with a constant threat of violence uprising. international pressure and growing domestic weariness of the situation but with jewish settlements all over the west bank israeli troops just leave the settlers to their own fate will israel ever let palestine achieve complete independence and any amount of negotiations to change the status quo. general yadlin it's really great to have you on our show welcome i'm happy to be in moscow while we happier here palestinians have actually dismissed america's leading role in middle east peace process and they want moscow russia to provide a new platform for multilateral negotiations do you think israel will take part in this new proposed format is moscow viewed as a trustworthy mediator by israel. i think you should go must i think you should go basically to a much more important issue and that's why the palestinians are avoiding every opportunity to reach an agreement if you

to initiate any conflict with israel regime iran believes that israel must cease to exist because it is an apartheid state like its sister apartheid regime in. south africa by the way the israelis gave the apartheid regime in south africa me clear weapons too but but the israelis should recognize that if they initiate any conflict against iran or against friends of iran this release will definitely not ok let me go to mr a but i want to set up what i won't what if the israelis decided to retaliate then the iranians decided to fly about what kind of you know you do you see for the future of syria the region. i could see that accounted for the this escalation going to be and i don't know i can't speculate in days possibly but we will see continuance of israeli strike. face saving for their it guard of and knitting the hour of that is raid knows very well and it's their general that's the nature of war has been changing. there is two front with one hundred fifty thousand missiles and a fact of course israel is a nuclear power but it's not going to be a school eating that much that they'

our commitment to israel's security is unwavering and we support israel's right to defend itself. mr. president, the united kingdom's position on an israeli-palestinian peace agreement have not changed. it should be based on the lines as they stood june 4, 1967, with equal land swaps to reflect the national security and religious interest of the jewish and palestinian peoples. jerusalem should be the share capital of the israeli and .alestinian state and it's status must be determined through a final status agreement. fair, agreed, and realistic settlement for refugees is needed that is demographically compatible with the principle of two states for two peoples. to conclude, like all in this council, the united kingdom strongly supports peace. we want to see renewed peace negotiations supported by the international community which lead to a safe and secure israel , the homeland for the jewish living alongside a viable and sovereign palestinian state, the homeland for the palestinian people. let us all work together to lay the groundwork for peace. thank you. >> [translator] i than

today israel. it's building on these relations here on the outskirts of tel aviv these trainees from africa learning innovative agricultural techniques to take back to their countries. the. training is sponsored by the center for international cooperation known as much a part of israel's foreign ministry you know. what we are focusing and most of our work is really in africa probably about forty percent of our resources and mostly towards food security guard showed water related issues. beyond training programs in israel. also takes its aid overseas. back in the kenyan village of karate women farmers grow fresh produce in a greenhouse donated by musharraf. the greenhouse which enables the women to earn a living was officially donated to them by israeli foreign minister avigdor lieberman. lieberman arrived in africa in september two thousand and nine at the head of a large entourage even suited five african states including three of the upstream nile basin countries kenya uganda and ethiopia. the mi

so what's been the reaction so far and side israel to reports of this f. sixteen coming down. well let me give you the details of the large scale military response that took place in the last few hours against targets in side syria fishley what the israeli army have said is that israeli. sorry israeli air force targeted the syrian aerial defense system and iranian targets in syria twelve targets including three aerial defense batteries and four iranian military targets was attacked and the acro missiles were then fired towards israel triggering a lomas in northern israel so this operation a large scale attack against those targets drop in very quickly in the last four or five i was against those targets of the israelis clearly knew what targets they wanted to hit in. in revenge against what happened and now we're also hearing that the cabinet meeting there will be a cabinet meeting a little bit later we do know that the defense ministry of already met they are likely to trying to beef trying to figure out what response they have next to airport was also shut down for about fif

but again i'm adrian finnegan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up israel launches what it calls its biggest attack on syria and decades after one of its warplanes was shot down. sending millions of infected mosquitoes on a medical mission that goal to stop the spread of the zeek a virus plus we've been married for sixty five years celibacy companionship and friendship important to many a solution for loneliness the u.k. develops a program that reaches out to the more than two hundred thousand elderly who feel empty and isolated. we begin with that breaking news out of moscow about the passenger plane that's crashed with seventy one people on board russian media say that these are the first pictures of the wreckage from the crash site the plane disappeared from radar soon after takeoff from the capital moscow offices will be challenges with us now live from the russian capital rory what more do we know about what's happened to this act of. it was still fairly early after this tragedy and so the information is not particularly huge so far but what i can tell you is that this

israel will continue to prevent iran from establishing a permanent military presence in syria israel will continue to act to prevent iran from establishing another terror base from which to threaten israel but iran continues to try to cross those red lines last week. its brazenness reached new heights literally new heights its center drone into israeli territory. violating israel's sovereignty threatening our security we destroyed the drone and the control center that operated from syria and when our planes were fired upon israel destroyed syrian anti-aircraft batteries. israel will not allow iran's regime to put a noose of terror around our neck. we will act without hesitation to defend ourselves and we will act if necessary not just against iran's proxies that are attacking us but against iran itself. whether today you will hear from mr zarif he's the smooth talking mouthpiece of iran's regime i give mr zarif credit he lies with eloquence. last year at this conference zarif said that i'm quoting extreme extremism is driven by lack of open respect well if that's true why does the ir
