| Video Discription | (25 Jan 2017) LEADIN: Graduates of a West Bank military academy gather to show compatriots their military prowess. STORYLINE: Training is tough at this West Bank military training facility, and today some of the latest graduates get to showcase their hard earned fighting skills to onlookers. In their best uniforms, brandishing various weapons, a new generation of Palestinians graduates from the military academy in the West Bank town of Jericho. The graduates are a product of a military training camp that is run by the Fatah movement and under the overall control of the Palestinian Authority. West Bank security forces, including the National Guard, are all trained in this military academy in Jericho. It is all pomp and circumstance, with a military band to accompany the graduates. The area has a mock training centre for practising urban warfare, as well as shooting ranges. Palestinian authorities are allowed to train solders under the 1995 Oslo accords that allowed Palestinians to be in charge of public order and security. Graduates were keen to take photos with senior Fatah leader Jibril Rajoub, one of the prominent figures attending. "This camp I believe is the right way to build a person, an individual, a human being, with ethics and values how to build in peace with everybody. The Israelis want to destroy want to undermine want to negate Palestine as a people from the political map. Let them bark, we will continue our process toward independence, salvation, liberation," says Rajoub. The ceremony comes as tensions between Israel and the Palestinians have been rekindled after the new US administration pledges to follow up on promises to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Fatah has dominated Palestinian politics since its founding five decades ago. But Mahmoud Abbas has seen his popularity plummet due to years of failed peace efforts with Israel, a stagnant West Bank economy and his inability to reconcile with the rival Hamas movement, which seized control of the Gaza Strip from his forces nearly a decade ago. Abbas now only governs autonomous areas of the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
