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

the burning israeli f. sixteen shot down by syrian air defenses both pilots ejected one was seriously wounded israel said the judge had attacked iranian targets in syria after an iranian drone entered israeli airspace following the incident on saturday prime minister binyamin netanyahu vowed that israel would defend itself against any attack or attempt by iran to establish itself in syria. iran seeks to use syrian territory to attack israel for its professed goal of destroying the us this 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 condemned the israeli action in syria. yet if one country thinks it can g

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

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 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 any

predictable how the israelis and washington mimicking television talking points where it's all about a rant ok here here is a country that you know the united states tax pro government forces in syria over one hundred people are killed and then we have this goes down we don't know exactly what the circumstances are but then the talking point is it's a brand's fault to be going after assets in syria israel has admitted in recent hours that it was brought down by syrian air defense yet it is real present and so is their justification for their most recent attack on syria and let's be clear. when we're talking israel uses the excuse of defense self-defense and everything well because madison is saying also interesting. militarily invading and occupying syria israel has attacked syria over one hundred times since two thousand and eleven in fact they call it the problem of not the idea of the israeli fighters just own syrian airspace and fire on any other means and do whatever they want there to whether this is come to an end as of yesterday. is that victory is this an escalation or is it

iranian officers are nearby the goal line within seven kilometers of the israeli so the israeli can do nothing at this stage let's see what's going to happen at the end of the day sky collation is there but i don't think they will escalate and if it. so you're not israeli diplomat sees 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 this point ok went missing mr bradley policy so far in syria has been the following they would only interfere when they saw or 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 vi

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. ♪ ♪ ♪

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 if you stay you don't get involved in the war but they have put their red lines and they have. carried out ever it's when it comes to weapon transfers of his the area so that it's well known but again. it's 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 and this drone and to israel post 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. this and you further but again we have to wait and s

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

well i spoke with one member of the israeli knesset actually a palestinian member. jamal's the hulk who told me it's kind of like catching. al capone for tax evasion because palestinians would like to see netanyahu tried for crimes he's committed for example in a place i visited in the gaza strip which was completely decimated by the israeli army multiple times under netanyahu is watch what are the politics behind all of this meaning what drives. the israelis to put palestinians in gaza in this position well it's a it's a good question hollande as i said i've studied this issue for a while i've read books for example like jimmy carter's palestine peace not apartheid i was aware that. nelson mandela himself has characterized the system in his and while he was alive characterize the system here as apartheid and now i've come and see it for myself that's what drives that's the politics that drives these policies holland it's the fact that israel wants to maintain an ethnic purity meaning it needs to be a jewish state while i was here the israeli justice minister minist

as israeli army says end to israeli aspace it was intercepted and response to that the israeli army carried out an air raid deep inside syria and you know palmira where the. drone was launched now in response to that the syrian air defense. hit a printer an f. sixteen jet which came down and is there any 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 depends was much larger than it used to be because it has carried out as strikes in syria over the past years doing during the war there and also that it hit the f. sixteen fighter jet so this is a very serious escalation and the noise. and israel's entry is saying it's going to react what are you hearing. well we also got another statement because the air sirens went off in the north in the past hours because israeli army said they have carried out a large scale attack in response to the downing of the to what happened in the morning and they targeted according to that statement twelve targets and according

then one of the israeli f-16 military jets were downed. saturday's event marking the first israeli jet shot down since the 1980's. it is also believed to be the first t me israel carried out an attack in syria in a site where you iranian troops were -- where iranian troops were present. can you talk about the significance of all of this? anne: yes, this is the second consequence of the end of the territorial fight against the islamic state. many of the international powers, as well as the syrian government and some of its opponents within syria were all against each other in a way, but united against the islamic state, and they launched competing campaigns to defeat the islamic state, raising one another to take its territory. once the islamic state was taken out in syria, those different combatants are finding those interests are coming to the four again. you see turkey going against syrian kurdish groups. you see even confrontaonons between turkey and the united states over the united states backing for kurdish militias that turkey sees

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

why that those israeli fighter jets were on their way back the. syrian air defense. of one of the jets was hit we don't know all the circumstances but it went down in israeli territory the two pilots they could 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 as they say a massive scale attack on syrian territory targeting several twelve targets on a syrian saws so the incident at the moment seems over at least militarily but of course now. 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 and its toll saying that none of the sides 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 he

all the problems that exist between the palestinian and israeli sides during late to the west bank so in a sense. does not heavily appear in the picture in terms of actually reaching an agreement between the palestinian and the israeli side nevertheless for us the palestinians very important to be included in any final arrangements and of course the. integrity of the palestinian territory the unity between gaza and the west bank is something that's very important not only emotionally and then actually but also economically and in terms of the viability of the palestinian state to be independent now the founding arrah five generation of leadership based slowly you in a way to new politicians who shelby mahmoud abbas's successor i mean. when mr abbas chooses to retire well first first of all let me praise the leadership the historically the ship of the palestinian people generally headed by by. and other leaders including mahmoud abbas as well. in terms of who is the success of this is something that will be decided by the palestinian people maybe through the palestinian in institutions
