 Buying for Britain lead the UK to designate the Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terror group. We'll have the details Israel's new government is moving forward on a new series of measures Decide to crack down on Palestinian terror with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying the coalition will move quickly To pass a law revoking the citizenship or residency status of Israeli Arabs or Palestinians Who are jailed for terror acts and receive monetary compensation from the Palestinian Authority and what's been dubbed their pay-to-forslay policy? Last week the Knesset approved a preliminary bill on the issue this after the Israeli Arab citizen Karim Yunus was released following 40 years in prison for taking part in the terror murder of Corporal Avraham Bromberg in 1980 and he then received the hero's welcome in his hometown of Wadi Arra in northern Israel Yes, Prime Minister Netanyahu addressing the topic at today's cabinet meeting in Jerusalem We will also open a discussion on the draft legislation to revoke the citizenship and the residency of terrorists who have received payments from the Palestinian Authority for their murderous actions against Israeli citizens It cannot be that terrorists will continue to receive funds from Israeli citizens tax payments and enjoy the additional benefits that Citizenship confers on them. We will begin the discussion and joining us in studio now is Ali Wakid head of I-24 news is Arabic Channel and Joining us from the town of Roshai in his reserves Brigadier General Yosef Kupu Vasa He's the former head of the research division of the IDF's military intelligence brands Ali I want to start with you the reaction. This is getting especially in Israel's Israeli Arab community Would be the first time that their citizenship could actually be revoked if they take place in terror Related acts and receive these funds from the Palestinian Authority. Well, Khaled. This is not new for dozens of years Palestinians and also Israeli Arabs who carried out attacks against Israelis or against the state of Israel and were in jail They were receiving since day one in their prison time The dispayment from the Palestinian dispayment from the Palestinian Authority the PLO consider itself Not only the representatives of the Palestinians in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip and in the Palestinian diaspora they consider themselves as the representatives of all Palestinians No matter where they are including the Arab Israelis as the Palestinians Define Arab Israelis as part of the Palestinian people those Arab Israelis who carried out these terror attacks against Israelis carried these attacks Also from that point of view as part of the Palestinian People this is why the Palestinians see that this is immoral to fund or to pay the These payments to the Palestinians in the diaspora inside the West Bank and Gaza and to exclude The Palestinian in the state of Israel now I understand that this is a very uncomfortable Situation for the state but also for many Arab Israelis when all this issue of loyalty The day of the Arab Israelis is on the table and discussed now by the government by many right-wing Political parties to see a polite in an Arab Israelis receiving payment like a kind of compensation from the Palestinian Authority because he killed and And Israeli this is this is correct and then I think this should be this should be discussed Immediately the Arab Israelis would say what about Israeli terrorists who are not Arab and who killed? And who killed? Israelis who killed Palestinian by the way. Do you know Kalev that the Israeli national insurance pay? Every month the payment for every prisoner in Israel even prisoner who killed Another Israeli not from for a political reason the murder gangs that killed themselves they They receive as prisoners some payment of the state of Israel to allow them to have a Normal kind of normal life in in jail, right? Well, let me you see let me ask you to respond to that He was saying there is some logic behind this But the way it's being framed only applies to Arab terrorists It's it's not worded in a way that it could include Jews who and there are there are Israeli Jews who have committed Terror acts themselves and are not a that doesn't include them Think first of all, thank you for having me secondly I want to emphasize the the payments are being made for people who carry out terror attacks only for those who carry out terror attacks if somebody is Committing some other kind of crime including murder They wouldn't wouldn't get this money and because according to the law of the Palestinian authority adopted in 2004 the Payments are to the those Arrested in Israeli jails because they committed terror attacks and they considered them as the Fighting sector of the Palestinian society and this includes those Israeli Arabs that carry out terror attacks and we have to understand it's not something against the The backdrop of the issue of loyalty You can have our soil not loyal to Israel in some way, but to do not carry out terror attacks Nobody mentions revoking their citizenship. It's about people who actually carried out terror attacks and got money for that Just because they can carry out these terror attacks by the Palestinian authority. That's These are the people who are going to be an issue in under this new legislation if it passes in the Knesset and We have to understand the Palestinian authority is actually Encouraging people solicitoring Terrorism by telling them that if they carry out terror attacks, they are going to be paid and they're going to be paid extremely good as any good Cellaries that's that's what they promise them in advance So this is something that is cannot be accepted and the people who carry out terror attacks and get paid by the Palestinian authority Cannot remain citizens of Israel. That's what's the law trying to achieve. But Jesse What about those Israeli Jews who commit murder for political purposes? They were they have some of them there are it's not a big number for sure But some have been convicted of terror offenses should they not also have their citizenship revoked No, that's the point is that These people thought but first they should be heavily punished and the deplored and the whatever But it's not a matter of their citizenship because they didn't work and carry out their attacks on behalf of a foreign entity Against the state of Israel. They did something terrible, but not against the state of Israel and Although in fact it is against the state of Israel, but there's not intended to be against the state of Israel So this is a different story that they should be punished heavily, that's I want to give a chance to respond close advisors or to chairman Abbas They say that we would like to get rid of these payments that embarrass the Palestinian authority and present the Palestinians in a very Immoral way like they are as you see said they are encouraging People to carry out terror attacks. No, it is true that and it's clear I think that mr. Abbas is against terror by the way He is criticized by the Palestinians that from the very beginning He gave up the tool of terror as part of the game with with the Israelis But mr. Abbas is trapped in between the Israelis and the Palestinians the Israelis don't give him any any support to to emphasize his Nonviolent politics and on the other hand the Palestinians see you want to cut because he tried for one month to cut these Payments and the Palestinian Street reacted very much. We should understand. We are now talking about around 5,000 prisoners who are now in the Israeli jails according to numbers. They are almost one million Palestinians who nice since 1967 were arrested in Israel So we are talking about an issue that concerns almost every Palestinian family It is different that an Arab Israelis is an Arab Israeli and as you see said if you are receiving fun from a foreigner entity This is a major problem. All right, Ali. What could thank you for joining us. Yes, of coup forces stay with us When we come back, we will continue to discuss Security matters and also this a big protest of course against judicial Organism that pulsates through millennia Touch it listen to it smell it taste it Experience the Holy Land like never before Holy Land uncovered every Sunday only on I-24 news Sometimes it's tough to get past all the noise and get to the heart of the story Even tougher to make sense of it all. I'm David Matlin in each weekday I'll take on the most important topics breaking down the issue so you can decide for yourself zoom in each weekday here at I-24 news Hey, it's you again ready. Let's go One show a whole lot of perspective. He is part of the problem You want to talk about deep platforming people are losing their lives not just what happened, but why does it matter? I'd like to finish my point. You're the one switching terms. You could be a fantastic CNN reporter Join us every night a CME stern on global life the global conversation Starts here Imagine being able to see into the future What innovations will change the world as we know it join us as we meet the people changing our planet and Discover the inventions shaping tomorrow Israel business beat Sundays and Wednesdays 9 30 p.m. GMT Welcome back to the rundown and still with us as reserves IDF Brigadier General yes of Cooper was so and I'm sure you see We'll have a response to Ali walk its comments on the Palestinian Authority so-called pay-to-slay policy Yeah, I think that Ali left us with the impression that the Abou Mazen is against error, which is totally wrong I'm abou Mazen is in favor of terrorism. He thinks all kinds of terror are legitimate He thinks that it's certain times. It's not useful for the Palestinians to use certain kinds of terror because from a The point of view of the benefit that the Palestinians gained out of using these kinds of terror They are not good enough compared with the cost they pay But he repeatedly says that he's going to keep paying salaries to the terrorists Whatever happens if even if he's left only with one penny is going to use it in order to pay service to the terrorists That's that's abou Mazen. Unfortunately, it's very painful to say it. But this is a situation All right. Yes, he could have us a stay with us because tomorrow Outgoing Chief of Staff Lieutenant General of Eve Kochabi will hand over command of the Israel Defense Forces to a successor Herds Lalevi in a series of farewell interviews Kochabi is firing off some parting shots at the new government Warning against moves to split control over the military between some different ministers He slammed what he called attempts to politicize the military saying quote the IDF chief Chief reports to one minister the minister of defense Middle East correspondent Ariel Al Surin has war in this report After 40 years in the Israeli military chief of staff Lieutenant General Aviv Kochabi is hanging up his uniform Moments before he hands over the reins to his replacement Herds Lalevi Kochabi sat down with Israeli media and outlined his successor's key challenges Mainly preventing a nuclear Iran and the ramifications of such a strike Anahata yes, so the working assessment is that a strike in Iran could potentially spark a wider conflict of the northern front And indeed our preparations are for fighting in the north closer to home Israeli forces have been carrying out since March a wide spread anti-terror operation in the West Bank and all the while Concerns over the imminent collapse of the Palestinian Authority have been mounting In the places where the Palestinian security forces operate including inside the main Palestinian system If they're not there we will need to be in his four years as IDF chief Kauhavi oversaw three operations in Gaza a prolonged tear operation in the West Bank and hundreds of strikes in Syria But there's another front the political turmoil that rocked Israel which coincided with his term in his interviews Kauhavi warned against the government's plans to restructure military authority in the West Bank that includes splitting off parts of their responsibilities from the Defense Minister over civil affairs in the West Bank The moment you remove this appointment from the chain of command it tarnishes it with additional motives That can severely undermine trust in the military people will look at this officer and say he is a political appointment During his term Kauhavi tended to remain cautious and quiet, but now days before he completes a service He's speaking out Including commenting on proposed changes to the political military chain of command We will not allow it to have two different militaries with separate values The IDF basic law stipulates that the IDF chief of staff answer to and only to the Minister of Defense And I'm certain it will remain that way And so as he takes office on Monday Kauhavi's replacement her Tia Levi has his fair share of challenges for the next four years Most of them are external, but it's the internal ones that could challenge him the most And still with us your super good the general Joseph Cooper was a yes He do you agree with Aviv Kauhavi's? criticisms of the government's plans or plan changes for the military structure General Kauhavi is brilliant Officer and very well experienced and charismatic and courageous and innovative and I think that's the legacy he leaves behind Talking about the issue that They are going to now split the responsibility between two ministers. Of course Some military commander. He would like to make sure that the line of command is as simple as possible And there's only one commander, but the politics are problematic and the challenging for any military officer any chief of staff and He will the his successor her Tia Levi will have to live with the new consequence with a new situation and There is a logic there's a tension here There's a logic for the new division because what is the alternative to leave the Jewish or the Israeli? People living in the territories under an endless Situation where they are treated this inferior citizens that the purpose of the change is to make sure that the civilian matters in the areas controlled by Israel since 1967 are Going to are going to have to go through some change and that is necessary Not less than keeping the command structure as Kauhavi wants it to be and there's a tension between the two elements Some arrangement will have to be found so as to make sure that the Israelis living in these territories Get the treated this regular Israelis and at the same time That the military commander will be able to use all his Right for it is properly. That's that's something that would have to be walked out In the future. I'm sure that's not going to be easy But the way can be found and should be found to do that properly Well, whether these changes will result in more security in the West Bank time will tell yes He Cooper us. Thank you for joining us on the rundown. Thank you In other security news today a 45-year-old Palestinian man Ahmed Hala was killed in a scuffle with Israeli troops near the West Bank settlement of Ofer north of Ramallah Soldiers said after his car was stopped for a security check Hala tried to grab one of the soldiers guns and was shot dead as they struggled There was also an Israeli casualty in the West Bank today But that was an apparent accident 18-year-old Corporal Dennis and Zenovi was killed in three of us wounded when a grenade Inadvertently exploded a training base in the Jordan Valley the IDF investigating the incident Now the Palestinian issue was certainly one of the points of tension between Israel and the European Union But it's important to remember the EU is not a monolith But it's a network with differing centers of power and our senior diplomatic correspondent Altam and is here to tell us how a recent exchange of letters relating to Israeli government moves in the West Bank tells us a lot about The tensions and that Israel-EU relationship. Yeah, there's a couple the shortest letters You can imagine the tell us so much But first let's take a look what the international media and some parts of the Israeli media did with this story You may be able to see on your screen the headline that the EU again comes out against Israeli settlement construction and so on Again Kalev not surprising to see that and it's not untrue with what I'm about to tell you But I'm not sure it's the headline and again as Kalev as you mentioned what I think is important to understand again EU is not one thing. It's a network of many things. There's the European Parliament, which is what it says It's a parliament. There's the European Commission Essentially the European cabinet a group of ministers to make a long story short that implement the day-to-day policy And then there's something called the European Council different from the Commission the Council What's the European Council? That's the heads of state who get together usually once every three months and they make the big picture decisions So a parliament commission and a council and this is a story of how they interact and it's clever As you mentioned how they interact on Israel's relationship with the EU the EU as we know builds is involved in building or at least Funding Palestinian building in areas see those areas that are under Israeli control Including that in the region called Musafariata and the South Hebron Hills that has been the source of controversy 24 members of the European of members of the European Parliament not happy about the Israeli demolitions of those EU buildings And then November 14th They send a letter to the European Commission right those cabinet that ministers and basically say to them Have you come up with any list of options to essentially either? Compel Israel to stop doing this or at least force Israel to pay the EU and give the EU Compensation for the buildings that Israel's knocked down the EU again paying for these buildings Israel knocking them down these 24 members of Parliament What at least want Israel to pay for that as they see they ask the Commission Have you come up with any ideas to force Israel to come up with the money? January 6th fast-forward almost two months Kalev and here is the answer from the European Commission No, and you may be able to see it on your screen. No, we have not actually come up with this list and by the way Any restrictive measures read sanctions. That's not us Don't talk to us talk to the heads of state European Council and all 27 of them Kalev all 27 of them need to agree Kalev what's going on here? We have we have a European Commission who feels its hands are tied These are the people with the day-to-day policy. They don't like what Israel's doing, but they say with there's nothing we can do about it We can't actually take any real action because we need 27 heads of state, right? It's enough for one of them to come out and issue a veto Victor Orban of Hungary for example or Poland Sam or Poland for example or some of Israel's other best friends within the EU and Therefore there are limits to what we as the European policy makers and the day-to-day can do there's this backstop and Sorry members of Parliament. You're out of luck. There's not much we can do about it So yes, it's true That is the headline said the EU is is condemning the settlement extent, but that's not the real story The real story is not that the EU demands the compensation Kalev the real story in the sense is that the EU is not really demanding the compensation Because at the end of the day It's up to the governments and the governments at least not all of them are on board in order to do so right and the reason That's important is because this new God the new Netanyahu government has made an issue Over that building in what is called area C in the West Bank and they said we're gonna step up the demolitions Even more than past governments have so we surely can expect a fear of a lot of sound and fury Coming from certainly elements in the EU, especially Brussels, but substance maybe much it's not so much Signifying nothing and that's what the letter and the response said this is sound and fury We are doing is making as much sound and as much fury as we can but collab at the end of the day Go talk to that don't talk to us talk to Victor Orban Because it's he who you will need to get you agreeing with you in order for anything really to happen So again, I think that tells the real story in a microcosm of two simple letters of the dynamics between Israel and the EU and your Right collab playing out on this issue and potentially others as well Right you jumped ahead on my Shakespeare quote finishing but Owen. Thank you for that Of course, there is domestic politics to turn to that big demonstration in Tel Aviv last night against the Israeli government's planned judicial overhaul and As Owen Altman reports the battle over those reforms will now enter its next phase. Let's take a look A day after meant to be a day to calm tempers with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu having this to say The morning after 80,000 protesters hit the streets of Tel Aviv I'm convinced that after the important and in-depth discussion in the Constitution Committee We will complete legislating the reforms in a way that will correct what needs correcting and will totally protect individual rights The opposition will not be sold with the anti Netanyahu camp out in force Saturday night in numbers that exceeded Expectations and in sometimes driving January rain in a protest meant to focus on the government's planned judicial overhaul I came here to demonstrate Against the anti-democratic steps of the new governments in Israel They are trying to destroy the democratic structure of the Israeli state They are working against the article of independence that is the basis of the Israeli democracy The fight over the judicial overhaul can now turn toward escalation or compromise Netanyahu is hinted at talks the Justice Minister and Supreme Court president are reportedly said to meet President Isaac Hertzog says he's active Over the past week, I've been working full-time by every means making non-stop efforts with the relevant parties With the aim of creating wide-reaching, attentive and respectful discussion and dialogue On the other hand gaps are wide and stakes are high Both sides see this as a real struggle for power and fairness Protesters say they'll be back next week and diehard supporters of the overhaul will not want to give in And still to come on the rundown the Iran regimes
