iranian officers are nearby the goal line within seven kilometers of the israeli so the israeli can do nothing at this stage to see what's going to happen at the end of days collation is there but i don't think they will escalate and if it. so you're not israeli diplomacy's working out through that magic and all the russian also up to now we didn't see any i mean you know look concerned that i see a point. and misses these rarely policy so far in syria has been the following there would only interfere when they saw war with a get intelligence that the iranians are trying to send some game changing what and systems to hizbollah. we're seeing a new pattern which is basically going after what the israelis consider to be a growing iranian military presence in syria is this an indication of that in the near future what we're going to see is basically a new showdown between the iranians and the israelis well that's correct israel has made its red lines in syria clear for a number of years now initially was game changing weaponry sent by to hiran to its allies in lebanon hizbollah via syria a

closer together might even pave the way for arab israeli peace. let's bring in hashem a bar he joins us live from munich to tell us more about what he's been saying what you think is it and its intentions were from this speech. very strong words indeed jane from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu particularly that moment when he said that if iran continues its violations we will retaliate not against iranian proxies in syria but against iran and that is really a significant development that could further lead to more. and he described the iranian foreign minister as the man who lies with eloquence and saying that the iranians are trying to expand a land to call the door from to hand all the way to autotools trying to building a permanent military bases inside syria and saying that the syria these ready government is going to do all it can to prevent the iranians from expanding in in in syria is quite is quite interesting when he started his speech to reminding the international community you made a mistake in one nine hundred thirty eig

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 fifteen minutes all flights was suspended and the syrians of actually president bashar al assad is actually threatening green in the past saying that if israel doesn't stop its activities across the

the israeli—occupation, i think, has built in the mindset of the israeli society. the that basically says it's a zero—sum game. it's either us or them. and in order for us to feel secure, they have do feel insecure. and when you have an entire army or a vast majority of the israeli army, which is in charge of maintaining that military control, so the mission is control. the symptom is exactly what you talked about. now, those symptoms will not disappear until we end occupation. but the problem is not only how you act once you enter a house, that's exactly why i mentioned the straw widow. because for me, the issue is the fact that you can enter any house. it's not how you smile or treat the palestinian in the checkpoint, but the fact that you can control the lives of millions and control these checkpoints and pass permits. can you afford the luxury of this delicate conscience of yours, when there is, what ever you say, there is a struggle, a struggle which involves violence on both sides between israel and the palestinians. most definitely. i'm not a pacifist. and

i want to have the least interaction with the israelis as possible. >> many israelis don't want to know about palestinians. they don't want to reach out. they don't want to cross into streets and neighborhoods where the palestinians live because of a mixture of stereotypes and so on. >> so we decided to go together to visit each other's neighborhoods. and i would talk to israelis and david would talk to palestinians, and together we would face the harsh realities of our shared land. >> growing up in the 1960's, the palestinians just weren't in the head of anyone. palestinians were different. we knew we had property and it was taken away from us by force. i remember distinctly remembering that this was the wall that separated the east and west jerusalem. and this was no man's land here. >> my family lived in jerusalem for centuries. in 1948 the state was pounded, and for the palestinians this time was called the catastrophe. like many palestinians, my father and his entire family were pushed out of their ancestral home. they moved to a small apartment in east jerusalem because the city w

now, you can blame the israelis. but you can also blame palestinians for allowing enough justifications for the creation of that mess. maybe they were misled. maybe they had no other choice. but this is what you have. you have enough building blocks to create the myth of israeli -- >> were the palestinians misled during the four years? and how are they coping with their fears? we went to see a person who fought for victitimsithout a fufuture. >> i hadad my cousinin kkilled the israelis. and we were supposed to have a party here. we lit candles for all those who passed away to give us life. so we lit candles. and we cried there. then we came back home, we danced. we also cried again. and for us, that was the resistance. >> the regression in the last three years has been incredible in the relationship between palestinians and the israelis. is there any way that you found to go to the heart of israelis and tell them don't be afraid of me? >> i don't believe in this fear. we are the people who are afraid of them. they ar

president, returning to the israeli and -- israeli-palestinian conflict, we in the international community, must continue advocating a substantial -- substantial changes related to the west bank, including demolition and the areas of c. -- area c. support.ull our support to honor remains vital. i hope that we will be able to look beyond the closed to diplomatsooms and politicians to see there are israeli and palestinian -- working tirelessly to promote change. groups,d women's religious and community leaders have a critical role to play. we rarely discuss their role. we do not see -- speak often enough about the challenges they face. they must be supported. mr. president, we have spoken of the need for leadership on both sides to reach a compromise , negotiations that would allow israelis and palestinians to separate and be masters of their own fate. these negotiations would not be negotiations between equals, for one side is under military occupation. its leadership is committed to a peaceful solution. i urge in closing, the international community, must give up on palestinian leadership.

why that those israeli fighter jets well on their way back the. syrian air defense. of one of the jets was apparently hit we don't know all the circumstances but it went down in israeli territory the two pilots stick with it eject themselves and now getting treatment at an israeli hospital so the incident and then went on because after that the israeli army launched musset they say a massive scale attack on syrian territory as they say targeting several twelve targets on a syrian saws so the incident at the moment seems over at least militarily but of course now we hear. you know the different versions of the events well despite all of these quite serious incidents that you've been describing israel says it doesn't want an escalation yet how likely is it that we're not going to see one based on today's events. well it seems that most of the military analyst tells us 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

with the orange tie danny down norm he'll be speaking to the security council with the israeli position but the one thing i think that has surprised us journalists in the last few minutes and i was down moments ago outside the door of the security council who is here for the united states we have the u.s. ambassador nikki haley she'll be making the speech you can see her there talking to the french ambassador francoise dillard's robot also and he's just out of the shot right now there in the security council is president trump's son in law and the u.s. peace negotiator jared cushion that he will be in the security council chamber for president abbas's speech i understand from sources that ambassador hailey will actually refer to him during her speech and say our negotiators are here in this room ready to start negotiations with you so president abbas very much putting on the gauntlet to the international community saying i can no longer trust the americans the americans for their side are going to come here and say no we are ready to start negotiations right now on a fascinating line up

many israelis viewed the protests as part of a palestinian propaganda machine to make the israeli ministry look bad and that something israeli government has little tolerance for they want to send a message to this family and also this this village that basically this kind of. way in which there's a lot of videos that try to show off israeli soldiers evil that this that kind of profiting off this as. the state kind of accuses this family of having done that this is not going to go on. israeli human rights activists say that are his case also sheds light on israel's controversial practice of detaining palestinian children and trying them by military courts now are heard to me look set to be facing a long jail sentence with the courts here having a conviction rate of over ninety percent. melting ice sheets in greenland and antarctica are speeding up the already fast rise in sea levels that's the finding from researchers at the national academy of sciences and the united states they've been studying twenty five years of satellite data and they predict that by the end of the century the world'

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 southern border with israel what's an israeli army doing here in beirut the answer is that we are now dealing with an imperial israel which is solving its problems in someone else's country world opinion be damned the israeli invasion of lebanon in one thousand nine hundred two was a watershed it was israel breaking out beyond its immediate region to aggressively attack another country and it was a bit of a shock to many people in the interests of self-defense that gallant little underdog israel as suddenly started behaving like the neighborhood bully by the time the war was over the israeli military would to seventeen thousand lebanese and palestinians and the other thirty thousand almost all of them civilians and when they were over in the end they are become so why is everything only. right to recruit others because.

well it was all key part in one hundred eighty one by the israelis the syrians and the israelis have no peace talks no negotiations on like the egypt and israel side of the sinai it's still occupied territory these really say that it's very squarely there is because of the war in syria it's become tactically very important for the israelis israelis are very worried that any kind of war may have spill over into the territories they backed it up completely the syrians of also put in their own defense systems there's been strong fighting going on this fighting going on in fact for a number of years along that border so yes it's incredibly important for both countries and both countries claim sovereignty over it already one calm there live for us from west jerusalem let's talk now to say no to she joins us live on the phone from beirut say no israeli air strikes inside syria arms on usual but how could this latest incident escalate tensions in the area between the syrians on the one side and israelis on the other. and utterly barren this is a dramatic development like you mentioned israe

israeli f. sixteen war plane crashed in northern israel the jet had been targeting the military base in homs the israeli army says it encountered fire with syria says it shot down the jet in response to an israeli act of aggression both pilots ejected and parachute is safely into northern israel one was severely injured while in a few moments in a hot air will join us live from beirut but first let's cross to western talk to. some confusion as to whether or not these rainy operation is finished what more can you tell us about this jet being shot down. well can tell you that the israeli army have confirmed that the operation is still ongoing against what it's calling iranian targets and syrian ed defense systems on the syrian side now what they're saying about the israeli jet is interesting they're very very careful language they won't confirm whether it was actually shot down with it was shot down by syrian air defense systems all even russian defense system that is likely to try and avoid a big

i think israeli ambassador really. all his speech was about character assassination of which he was very interesting listening very very similar against yasser arafat not. at the time when they decided the set of ideas not the right man so clearly they believe our best is not going to deliver as far as they're concerned and it's time to to sedate him in terms of character they are trying to put other alternatives maybe i don't know. let me sorry i'm just going through my notes done a lot of typing for the last ninety minutes or so you've done a lot of write india as well haven't you nikki haley u.s. ambassador who said that the united nations spends a disproportionate time on this issue and in fact is in her words grossly biased when it comes to israel. yes i'm i'm not sure why she even turned up to me she doesn't show a new respect to the united nations. is that right from the beginning she dismisses she she dismisses the position of the united nations general assembly repeatedly she spoke against it. in terms of her

that injured four israeli soldiers along the border israeli jets launched a series of air strikes on a number of sites in the southern gaza strip its military blames hamas for saturday's explosion several palestinians were injured in the israeli raids today's incident on the girls' the street border was severe we were responding appropriately i said my wishes for a quick recovery to the wounded. it's going to hairy forces in west jerusalem what is the situation. well as you say those the most recent development is the discovery of those two bodies what the medical sources in gaza the minimal of the health ministry in gaza is saying is that they were two seventeen year olds who were discovered east of rafa down in the south of the gaza strip near the egyptian border also presumably close to the israeli border if it was east of the town of rougher the medical sources yesterday night were saying that the israeli tank had attacked a gathering of people in that area israeli media reports suggesting that four people had actually tried to breach the border fence and were fired on by tank fi

what it says israeli attacks in the damascus well two f. sixteen pilots ejected from the plane and parachute safely into northern israel israeli army says they were shot at by massive anti-aircraft fire they were targeting a military base inside syria suspected of launching an iranian drone which flew towards the golan heights let's get more now from joins me from western so what's been the reaction so far inside israel to reports of this f. sixteen coming down. well the israelis are squarely blaming the iranians for this they have gone off to what they say are iranian targets inside of syria they say they've destroyed a command and control center for the unmanned aerial vehicle the drones flew over. really taking a look at what they should do next now we are hearing that a cabinet meeting the government is going to formulate a cabinet meeting to discuss what to do next also the minister of defense is meeting right now to see what kind of response of the formulates been a couple of emergency measures take place within israel itself in gori

triggering a deadly response from israeli fighter jets syria says its allies drone was near the israeli border on a standard intelligence mission but israel disagrees it has released this unverified video which it says shows the drone in israeli airspace next they say it followed the drone across the syrian border and shot it down and then launched fighter jets like these to strike the drones base inside syria that triggered a syrian response the regime unleashed its anti-aircraft guns on the israeli fighter planes and it brought down an f. sixteen jet which crashed dramatically into the northern israeli countryside the israeli air force says its pilot was seriously wounded after making an emergency exit. israel then responded with another large scale bombing raid it hit syrian government positions near damascus just days ago israel declared itself ready for a standoff like this on tuesday israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu stood at the northern border in israeli occupied golan heights and delivered a warning. we seek peace but are prepared for any scenario and i wouldn't suggest

work with without israel but we think that it's the duty of the international community to push the israelis to accept certain things including to establish a multilateral format as you said a mechanism that that mechanism and i want to 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 before things can move forward do you agree has to us let peace process stopped in its tracks for now. well 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 and in terms of the talks and of deeds as well let's remember that there's a government went on on a campaign of settler colonialism causing all kinds of problems which which actually negate any possibil

israeli leaders drew the wrong conclusion from the success of israeli intelligence. the intelligence sooner or later was able to come to a solution to any challenge the leaders presented to it. but the leaders drew the wrong conclusion. they thought by using force they could stop history. it's not tactical. they do not need to turn to statemanship, to diplomacy to come this close to the enemy. therefore, i think, the use of targeted killing, the special operation is a serious or magnificent unbelievable tactical successes, but also very significant and dangerous strategic political failure. >> it's a remarkable investigation. thank you, so much. >> thank you. >>> an incredible conversation. ronanbergman, thanks for joining us from new york. that is it for our program tonight. join us again tomorrow night. >>> "amanpour" on pbs was made possible by the generous support of rosalynn p. walter. >>> you're watching pbs.♪ >> you are watching "beyond 100 days" on pbs. the u.s. is close to making a decision about how to act on north korea. top intelligence chiefs outlined

forces in gaza followed an explosion that injured four israeli soldiers along the border israeli jets launched a series of air strikes on a number of sites in the southern gaza strip its military blames hamas for saturday's explosion several palestinians were injured in the israeli raids today's incident on the girls' the street border was severe we respond appropriately or so my wishes for a quick recovery to the wounded are a force that has the latest from west jerusalem. well the health ministry in gaza has confirmed the discovery of two bodies east of rafa to seventeen year olds who were killed in a tank fire it seems late on saturday night they had already said the gazan health ministry that two had been injured in that incident what they described as a gathering of people east of rougher down in the south of the gaza strip the israeli media reported that the group had been trying to breach the border fence and that is when the tank fire started israeli military is also saying that its strikes in response to an explosion on the border fence which seriously wounded two israeli sol

regarding the israeli-palestinian conflict. following his speech, the us ambassador to the un nikki haley responded.this is about three hours. >>. >> the security council is called order. >> i should like on behalf of the members of the security council to express profound grief and sorrow at the passing of selling two more. >> the members of the council convey their deepest sympathies to the families and to the government of allowing. today also marks the one-year anniversary of the passing of ambassador the community of the russian federation. i now invite members of the council to rise and observe a minute of silence in tribute for the ambassador mora and ambassador gordon. >> ... >> thank you. the situation in the middle east including thepalestinian question . the agenda is adopted. in accordance with rule 37 of the council's provisional rules, i invite the representative of israel to participate in this meeting. >> is so decided. >>. >> i propose that the council invite the president of the observer state of palestine to

how significant is it that an israeli jet has been downed it had israeli raids into syria into beirut is it's not a new thing is it but i can remember as the last time we had an israeli plane downed in this type of raid this you know the last time there was a dogfight as it were between israeli and syrian fighter jets over lebanon in the one nine hundred eighty s. . i think if i remember correctly the israelis were able to down over seventy syrian jets at the time and over the syrian golan heights in the occupied golan heights of course it's been quiet since seventy three or so with we know with a very few minor exceptions here though the idea of downing and israeli f. sixteen advanced fighter jets of course this is the first time in memory and certainly it's the first time after one hundred or such attacks by israel within the syrian territories so since night since two thousand and eleven there's been over one hundred israeli attacks inside syria but this is the first time we hear not just rhetoric coming out of damascus but we actually see a retaliation we see confrontation happeni

to stop the israelis and to change that had to to. enable us both sides to the it's a political settlement but nevertheless it's not totally and one hand it's it's actually dependent on what the israelis might or might not continue to do in the future so would you support violent resistance if it broke out. over the three we would not we would that point we don't want bloodshed we don't want violence with violence we we want peaceful relationship we want to establish peace in the middle east but again it takes two to tango and it is largely dependent on what the israelis might or might not do i would remain committed to popular resistance and peaceful ways and means to resist occupation but a master israel put aside fatah and hamas have little love for each other can there be an agreement made by israel and the west bank palestine and not gas or palestine . no of course any agreement to cover all of the palestinian territory including including does and while you might be an idea that is no more love lost between fatah and hamas we ar

both pilots ejected and parachuted to the israeli side of the border one is critically injured the israeli army spokesman said it was wrong it was behind the launch of the drawing but didn't say whether it was armed or not the iranians have reacted they've said that they are going to stand with syria against any felician us by israel the russians have also reacted saying that israel needs to respect syrian state to state sovereignty also what we're hearing is that the israelis want to send a strong message to the russians to get iran out of the region iran can al-jazeera western muslims well this is not the first time israel has hit targets inside syria iran has sent military advisers and allegedly thousands of its revolutionary guards to help the syrian government and that buildup of iranian assets has been increasingly worrying for israel saying one hundred explains. this is the golan heights territory israel captured from syria in one nine hundred sixty seven the war in syria has brought iran and its allies like the lebanese armed group hezbollah closer to that border israel says that i

region the israeli f. sixteen was on a mission inside syria targeting what israel says are iranian bases there the aircraft wreckage and pilots landed in israeli territory it all began when israel says it intercepted an iranian drone flying in its airspace israel says the drone came down from syria it responded with a major air raid inside syrian territory targeting what it claims are iranian bases on the way back from that mission israeli jets came under syrian anti-aircraft fire and that's when the f. sixteen was hit israeli jets then launched another cross border air raid hitting twelve syrian government and iranian targets is believed to be israel's most significant attack against syria since one thousand nine hundred eighty two imran khan reports now from west jerusalem. 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 confirmed syrian air defense shot at one of its f. sixteen fighter jets t

but in the last few months some israelis have gone out to protest. it's now up to the attorney general to decide whether to follow the recommendations of the police netanyahu himself has denied all accusations and called the investigations a witch hunt against him and his family. so what are the next steps for netanyahu and for israeli prosecutors for more let's bring in did obvious middle east correspondent tanya kramer tanya how strong is the evidence against netanyahu that's been have it over to prosecutors. well that called the police and they say they have a son it evidence but now it's in the hands of the attorney general and his team to look at this evidence and then to decide whether to file the indictments against the prime minister and also on what charges and that could take really some months some could be a very lengthy process what people are looking at you know his father what's happening on the political arena right now now last night when the recommendations have published the opposition already cold for mr prime minister netanyahu t

the now in an israeli hospital and in response to that again apparently then the israeli army launched a large scale attack again in syrian territory as they said in the statement to confirm that and saying they targeted twelve. areas in syria with this attack. what has israel's involvement in syria been since the war broke out there. well i mean there has always been so-called spillover from the war in syria. the occupied golan heights but of course it was always there we stay we don't get involved in the war but they have put their red lines and they have. carried out everett's when it comes to weapon transfers of his area so that it's well known but again this is now the response that we've been seeing in the past couple weeks to such evidence now this time because it's defend that according to the army at this drone and to israel first so i think it's good to see it seem to have settled down a bit right now but of course we don't know whether there will be any more military action following on that it doesn't seem to be reading. any further but again we have to wait and see what th

june as israeli army says entered israeli aspace it was intercepted and response to that the israeli army carried out an air raid deep inside syria and you know. where the. drone was launched now in response to that the syrian air defense. hit a printing f. sixteen jet which came down an israeli territory the pilots managed to eject themselves here they're now currently treated in a hospital in the north of israel so what's significant in this is that the response by the syrian to tens was much larger than it used to be because it has carried out as strikes in syria over the past years doing the war there and also that it hit the f. sixteen fighter jets so this is a very serious escalation and the north. and israel century is saying it's going to react what are you hearing. well we also got another statement because the sirens went off in the north in the past hour and they targeted according to that statement twelve targets and according to that statement they detail it in syrian targets and ukrainian targets we don't know if that incident now is still ongoing but also the syrian st
