jerusalem so they were celebrating tonight with those fireworkslj jerusalem so they were celebrating tonight with those fireworks. i want tonight with those fireworks. i want to talk about iran in a moment. a few days ago the us extended a deal with iran that provides sanctions relief in return for limits on its nuclear programme. now, despite that we know that donald trump is a fierce critic of the iran nuclear deal. as is israel. here's president trump earlier. most importantly, the united states and israel can declare with one voice that iran must never be allowed to possess nuclear weapons, never ever. and must cease its deadly funding, training and equipping of terrorist and militias. and must cease immediately. as i'm sure you have seen, and must cease immediately. as i'm sure you have seen, the iranian president hasjust been sure you have seen, the iranian president has just been active for a second term and it was him talking on the issue. translation: our missiles are for our defence and for peace, they are not offensive. while there is a technical need to conduct missile te

brent: right. >> there is a psychiatric phenomenon called the jerusalem syndrome and it is recognized all over thehe world. it befalls people who travel to jerusalem and they returned with some kind of religious enlightenment and they become self-important and narcissistic because they think they are the size bed i am not joking -- they are messiahs. i am not joking. but maybe donald trump was overwhelmed by this trip to the holy land. but i do not think it is about praying for peace. it is not about religion. mahmoud abbas is right. it is about territory. i do not think anybody want to give up territory. brent: what about the settlements? we do not hear the u.s. president say anything about the israeli settlement policy. >> you could say that he does not care about this. you can also say that probably there is a strategy behind it that he does not want to lecture the israelis or challenge them, because he thinks it will strengthen his position. i think for donald trump, peace in the middle east is not that relevant at the moment, what is relevant for him is to boost the economy at ho

what we heard was he was thrilled to have donald trump in jerusalem. different to his frustrated reception of the former american president. him,d lavished praise for said they have been friends for years and said this was the first time in his lifetime he saw a real prospects for change. he also really thanks to this president for seeing the dangers in iran and for highlighting them and changing american policy. what was interesting, what we heard from donald trump was -- no mention of moving the american embassy to jerusalem. mention of jerusalem as the capital of the jewish state, which some israeli officials have been talking about. up heat press conference by the two of them. >> trump also promised the ultimate deal between israel and palestinians. listen to how he plans to go about this. this, hee has said is comes from saudi arabia and is that is a package deal going to be recognition of israel, normalization of israel in alliance with the moderate state. which he includes saudi arabia now. semi state is going to get together, opposed to iran ,

>>> i'm becky anderson in jerusalem where donald trump will be just a few hours to kick off peace talks between the israelis and palestinians. trump arrives in tel aviv from saudi arabia where he urged muslim leaders to step up their fight against terror and extremism. >>> also ahead this hour, north korea test fired another missile. >> it's north korea's second missile test within a week. and we will have reaction from the region. we want to welcome our viewers here until the united states and all around the world, i'm george howell. >> and i'm rosemary church. thanks for joining us. this is "cnn newsroom." >>> well, u.s. president donald trump is due in israel monday after his visit to saudi arabia. now, it is first international, of course, as president and he gave a major speech to muslim and arab leaders calling on men "to drive out terrorist." he has a busy couple of days and in the west bank he said, you know, to visit several key in jerusalem, including the old cities, also expect it to take part in shermny. well hol cast remembers that. separate meetings to the israeli prime mi

jerusalem being the unified capital under israeli control that is not for negotiation. this comes as president trump is seeking to negotiate peace between the israelis and the palestinians. jerusalem is a very sensitive, what they call a final status issue in that, and for ambassador friedman to be sitting at these celebrations in effect endorses the israeli idea that jerusalem could be that unified capital. now, with president trump facing all this controversy about what he's going to do at the embassy, a very controversial move that's certainly going to anger the arab states as president trump gave this very what he thought positive message to them today. >> elise and nic robertson, our thanks to both of you for joining us. >> president trump is thousands of miles uz way, but again, back here at home in washington, a cloud of the russia investigation still hangs over the white house. the senate intelligence committee wants to see the white house notes that reportedly led to bombshell reports in "the new york times." the report claimed during the president's meeting wi

and talks that he would move the capital from tel aviv to jerusalem. white house has said they would not move it now. it has angered some politicians in netanyahu's government, making an already difficult process all the more difficult. arthel: all right connor powell thank you. >> crunch time for the white house. after robert mule ar mueller isd special counsel. >> a collision on the runway at one of the country's busiest airports, what authorities are saying happened, ahead. usaa gives me the peace of mind and the security just like the marines did. the process through usaa is so effortless, that you feel like you're a part of the family. i love that i can pass the membership to my children. we're the williams family, and we're usaa members for life. it's looking up, not down.ng fit's being in motion. boost® high protein it's intelligent nutrition with 15 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. boost® the number one high protein complete nutritional drink. come close, come close. fun in art class. i like that.

she is live from jerusalem. hadley, there are very high expectations for president trump to reinvigorate the stalled peace talks. do you think it can deliver a break or do expectations come down? >> reporter: that's a very good question, carolin. over the weekend at the world economic forum i spoke with arab and european foreign defense ministers and the message was cautious optimism. they were hopeful if anybody can cree invigorate this israeli peace negotiation can could be donald trump just by sheer force of his personality. as you pensioned u.s. president donald trump just minutes away from arriving here in israel. he's going to meet with president rivlin who is going to head shortly to the old see of jerusalem as you can see behind me to visit the western wall. and later today, he'll be speaking with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. a lot of things on the table. not the least of which is going to be the security of intelligence, carolin. >> how controversial is it that, that is, president trump, that he's

jerusalem is one of the world capitals of religious tourism. and easter and passover make for its busiest weeks. and a particular hotspot is the church of the holy sepulchre, where some believejesus is buried. i want people to think it is something they can see with their own eyes. jerusalem is one of the world capitals of religious tourism. and easter and passover make for its busiest weeks. and a particular hotspot is the church of the holy sepulchre, where some believejesus is buried. they called jerusalem the world's holiest city. it's also one of the most conflicted. politics aside, the fact is, jerusalem has monuments that are sacred to three of the world's biggest religions. like the western wall for those of the jewish faith. for muslims, there is the distinctive dome of the rock shrine. then deep in the heart of the old city, through the damascus gate, is christendom's most important church. tucked away on the edge of the muslim and christian quarters, right in the marketplace, is the church of the holy sepulchre. not easy to find. but

secondly, there is also moving the embassy to jerusalem. donald trump said that he would do that during the caaign but he's backed away from that also. could that cause any sort of diplomatic hiccup between the two men going forward, between benjamin netanyahu and president trump? >> reporter: i don't really think so, katy. i think that's a case of removing any potential political poison from this visit all along. for example, during president trump's walk to the western wall today, there were thoughts initially that benjamin netanyahu would accompany him. u.s. officials, i think, wanted to take the political aspect of that away so donald trump went on his own and touched the western wall. and i think the same thing goes for this highly contentious issue of jerusalem. you know, this is one of the most contentious issues in any future peace deal, whether jerusalem should be the capitol of a palestinian state as well as the capitol of israel. and i think any possibility that he would revisit the issue of moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem i

rajan is in jerusalem, the world's holiest city. this is, for christianity, the most important place in the world. quite an incredible experience to be here. we touch down in saint martin for a spot ofjet blasting, and check out a music festival aiming to entice a younger crowd the caribbean island. and taking the perfect snap? we head to the lake district to capture one of the uk's most photographed landscapes. i want people to see my pictures and think, wow, that's inspiring. but it's something they can see with their own eyes. jerusalem is one of the world capitals of religious tourism. and easter and passover make for its busiest weeks. and a particular hotspot is the church of the holy sepulchre, where some believejesus is buried. rajan got rare access to the newly renovated tomb. rajan: they calljerusalem the world's holiest city. it's also one of the most conflicted. politics aside, the fact is, jerusalem has monuments that are sacred to three of the world's biggest religions. like the western wall for those of the jewish fai

. >>> joining us in jerusalem, host, andrea mitchell. president trump will visit some historic religious sites in israel. tell us about the agenda and how the white house has prepared for this visit. >> the white house has really prepared down to every minute. he's been running behind schedule throughout the trip so far on the saudi leg of the trip but no matter how the schedule evolves, it's going to be very tightly controlled. no news conferences, no opportunities to question the president. he, in saudi arabia was very much on script, on teleprompter in his speech. one change in his wording, which is significant, although his aids described it to fatigue. you've been pointing out radical islamic terrorism. and criticized those in the diplomatic community for not using and he used islamist extremism but actually slipped and said islamic extremism which refers more to the religion than those who try to destort the religion. he was very much on message in every regard and diplomatic and sober and i think that's what we're going to see as

president to visit the western wall there in jerusalem. as we know, he placed that note, called it a great honor that he can see a much deeper path, friendship with israel, especially after that day wraps up and we are continuing on here this morning, at 10:00 a.m. in bethlehem, the west bank. he is pretty much on schedule here. he is expected to have those joint remarks a little bit before the 4:00 a.m. hour here local time in new york. but, again as we continue on here, continuing to greet those dignitaries and officials. >> we want to bring in now, from washington, joel ruben, former deputy assistant secretary of state and a president of the washington strategy group. mr. ruben great to have you with us. talk to us a little bit about the significance, the fact that on his first overseas trip, president trump has decided to go to israel and the west bank. how significant of a visit is this going to be? or is this merely symbolism? >> it's go to be with you, ayman and frances. it does raise hopes. it also does not only raise hopes but als

laura:i think you can thank youm jerusalem. in france, politicians from the left and right are scrambling for a place in the new political order, but president elect men on the chronic has yet to name a president-elect has yet to name a single member to his government. despite his high profile, faust got a cool reaction from the mccrone -- macron camp. >> the race has started in france's parliamentary elections. emmanuel faust has picked what he things will be the winning force. >> i will be a candidate for the presidential majority. i want to sign up for a manual movement.el macron's said it would be impossible for him to keep his socialist party membership if goes under the macron campaign. >> we are friends of the socialist party. who help us to succeed are not those who opportunistically's -- opportunistically switch sides. friends are not afraid to sound the alarm bell when necessary. >> for him, the bet may not pay off. he hasn't exactly been welcomed with open arms by macron's movement. >> he has not been excepted by the

. >> arthel: we are alive in our jerusalem bureau, as we watch these live pictures of president donald trump going into the presidential palace there, we are talking about these images and seeing our president there on that soil, let's talk about the first time ever a flight, perhaps a symbolic connection being made as president trump embarks on what has been up until now basically, no win situation there, trying to bring peace to the middle east. let's listen in. judy miller is here with us, john is not with us right now. you were saying that you have no hope at all that there is going to be a peace agreement. facilitated by president trump. judy miller, standby, i have been told that john is back now. can you hear me? >> i can hear you. >> arthel: i can hear you, john. as we were watching the pomp and circumstance at the presidential palace, i mentioned earlier how president trump was the first ever flight, perhaps a symbolic connection. do you feel there is any openness on both of those leaders to perhaps come to the negotiating table and really try to start moving this forward to g

welcome to jerusalem. welcome to israel. >> thank you very much. and it's a great honor to be with my good friend, prime minister netanyahu, and, of course, sarah, thank you. and thank you for the beautiful tour. melania is still talking about it. thank you very much. you honored me and melania by being one of the first world leaders to visit the white ho e house, as you know, and we had a very good and sound discussion. and now you honor us again by welcoming us to your home on my first trip abroad as the president of the united states. this is a land filled with beauty, wonder, and the spirit of god. i've been amazed by the glorious and beautiful monuments and holy sites and the generosity of your incredible people. >> thank you. >> because it's all about the people. i was deeply moved by my visit today to the western wall. words fail to capture the experience. it will leave an impression on me forever. today we reaffirmed the unbreakable bond of friendship between israel and the united states. a friendship built on our shared love of freedom, ou

jerusalem is one of the world capitals of religious tourism. and easter and passover make for its busiest weeks. and a particular hotspot is the church of the holy sepulchre, where some believejesus is buried. we got rare access to the newly renovated tomb. they called jerusalem the world's holiest city. it's also one of the most conflicted. politics aside, the fact is, jerusalem has monuments that are sacred to three of the world's biggest religions. like the western wall for those of the jewish faith. for muslims, there is the distinctive dome of the rock shrine. then deep in the heart of the old city, through the damascus gate, is christendom's most important church. tucked away on the edge of the muslim and christian quarters, right in the marketplace, is the church of the holy sepulchre. not easy to find. but it's somewhere around here. and look. tiny little sign. holy sepulchre. and i can hear something happening. now, what's unusual about this church is that it's actually shared by six different christian denominations. to be precise, ro

but there are in jerusalem and israel will be his next step. benjamin yahoo, how do they view this relationship? that has changed over time. >> israelis, new jersey, they have a man in tehran, israel needs to be wiped off the face of the map. they are in a dangerous neighborhood. what they care about are the iranians. donald trump is very popular among many israelis because of his stance against iran. ushering in a new era where the israelis are willing and a lot of arab states are willing to work with the israelis in common interest pushing back isis and the influence of iran. >> we appreciate you joining us, thanks very much. don't adjust your set, you are watching "fox and friends," we are following two fox news alerts. on the left of your screen donald trump in saudi arabia with a historic moment signing this agreement with the saudi government with king salman, $110 billion deal as he kicked off his international trip. grove city, pennsylvania where mike pence is set to deliver a commencement address in five minutes. he is likely to be int

[ applause ] >> for more i'm joined by the global editor of the huffington post, howard fine. i use it used to be ireland, israel and italy. now he's going to rihad. he's not going to mecca. going to rihad after all he said about muslims, how issing th thg to go over? >> he's kind of making progress of the abrahamic religions. he's hitting islam, judaism -- >> sons and daughters of abraham. >> so part of it is to plai y t the base back in the united states. he announced this trip during a signing about religious freedom in the united states in the rose garden. so he was calling out the cardinals. he was tipping his hat to the rabbi and everybody else. >> my cardinals love the vatican. what do you make of that? my cardinals? >> well, he -- >> he must mean the ones in new york or -- there's one in new york. >> i think

israel recaptured it and liberated jerusalem. the idea that what israel liberated is illegally occupied territory, i don't believe obama believes that. i don't believe kerrie believes that and yet they did not veto. liz: obama let that un resolution stand. i hear what you're saying. president trump is the first president to visit the western wall. how will it be viewed throughout the world? >> i think positively he struck a compromise. obviously it would have been better and stronger, had he gone there with either the president or the prime minister of israel, but he didn't. he went there with i see had wife and son-in-law. he sent a powerful message by going to the western wall. but i think more can be done. i hope before his term he understands we will see the embassy of the united states and all the embassies in the world move to israel's undivided capital jerusalem. why should israel's capital not be recognized? and so i think we'll be making progress. i also think that he has the potential to make a deal. it won't be a compl

>> well, i am in jerusalem. i've just come back from the middle east. so i'm now here in jerusalem. and one of the disputed areas, of course, between israelis and palestinians. there was some serious business done today. the president just laid a wreath and spoke. earlier he was in bethlehem, first trip to the west bank. first trip as president, of course, to israel. in bethlehem he said all the right things to mahmoud abbas but left out what they want because he cataloged what has been true since camp david, outlines of a peace agreement that's been recognized by leaders of both political policies but not by netanyahu or president trump. president trump has reached out to abbas may 3rd in the white house and now here. our old friend, glenn kessler, former state correspondent on the fact check from the washington post today, he fact checked something the rest of us should have done. that white house claim that the president's air force one trip was the first flight from riaydh to israel, commercial and military planes don't fly between the two states. if you check back on the schedu

in israel, present trump participated in a ceremony at the national holocaust museum in jerusalem. he was introduced by benjamin netanyahu and gave brief remarks. here's a look. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> thank you. prime minister, sarah, german and rabbi, thank you for hosting us for this moving wreath laying ceremony. we are here to honor the memory of 6 million jews murdered in the holocaust. two thirds of the jews in europe were sent to their deaths. words can never describe the bottomless ste depths of that evil or the scope or the angl anguish and destruction. it was history's darkest hours. many of beautiful lives, men women and children were extinguished as part of a systematic attempt to eliminate the jewish people. it was the most savage crime against god and his children and it is our solemn duty to remember to mourn, to grieve and honor every single life that was so cruelly and viciously taken. as allie said, for the dead and the living, we must bear witnes witness. these words should be carved into the conscience of humanity forever. only wh

in jerusalem. joining us, a fellow at the israel policy forum, nimrod. we saw president trump and muhammad abb mahmoud abbas. a spirit of warmness between the two this morning. what is the step going forward. how do we get this from the ceremony to actual substance? >> i think that administration has demonstrated to all parties involved that they know what they want. and i think that the parties are stepping up faster than most of us had assumed. i mean, you had sunnis and gulf partners suggesting unprecedented steps of normalization, vis-a-vis israel, provided israel delivers. you heard the israeli prime minister last night saying for the first time in his lifetime he sees a change worth exploring and his cabinet has already made an initial, somewhat stingy, decision to deliver for the president for that purpose. you hear palestinians talking about the need for them to get their act together. so, i think that all parties involved demonstrate that they take seriously the new sheriff that showed up

ambassaem from tel aviv to jerusalem. it's a proverbial land mine just given the history and politics of that. it's quite possible this trip will stay heavily controlled. i think europe will be a slightly more open situation. i think the big difference when he gets to europe, joe, compared to the middle east is that in the middle east everyone is thrilled about who he's not, which is his predecessor. in europe, people are not thrilled who he's not because they preferred his predecessor, much more comfortable with barack obama, a far more open, aggressive media. the european half of this trip could be more difficult. >> go ahead. >> i was just going to say, no one right now is happier that donald trump is out of the country than the republican strategists who are running the races in mountantana and georgi right now. they are breathing a huge sigh of relief. maybe it's worth reminding ourselves, we're two days into this trip. two days. there's, what, almost a week left? there's still a lot that could go wrong. not only tha

in jerusalem or the west bank. >> thank you for your time. let's move on to this. >>> you cannot connect the dots if you're helter skelter. what the president did was totally outrageous. if it was unwitting, that would be pathetic and dangerous. if it was intentional, i don't know what's worse. >> that's house speaker nancy pelosi clearly questioning if the president is fit for president questioning the president's competency. david brooks this morning slammed the president calling him a child in this op-ed. he wrote, "most adults have learned to sit still but mentally trump is still a 7-year-old boy who is bouncing around the classroom. he's thus the all-time record holder of the doning-kruger effect, the phenomenon of which the incompetent person is not able to see his own incompetence. he is perpetually surprised because reality does not comport with his fantasies." joining me is tom countryman, former state department official fired shortly after the inauguration and chris cillizza. tom, what's your take on the president's behavior here a

your excellency, as you saw yesterday during your historic visit of holy sites in occupied east jerusalem, and today in bethlehem, the conflict is not between religions, for respecting religions and prophets is an integral part of our religion and faith. and we are keen to keep the door open to dialogue with our israeli neighbors from all walks of life in order to boost confidence and create a genuine peace opportunity. our fundamental problem is with the occupation and settlements, and failure of israel to recognize the state of palestine in the same way we recognize it, which undermines the realization of the two-state solution. the problem is not between us and judaism. it's between us and occupation. i would like to draw the attention to the issue of our palestinian prisoners, who have been on hunger strike for more than one month, meters away from here in the vicinity of the church of the nativity. and everywhere, all across palestine, families, mothers of prisoners, suffer from being denied visits to their children. and their demands are humane and just. i demand the israeli governm

certainly this one is no exception, not whether he will or will not move the us embassy to jerusalem. we have a further glimpse into his thinking over the weekend, when his secretary of state rex tillerson said that the president was thinking carefully about the impact it would have on the peace process. this drew a very quick response from israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who of course favours such a move. he said it would not damage the peace process but instead would shatter what he called the palestinian fa ntasy what he called the palestinian fantasy that jerusalem is what he called the palestinian fantasy thatjerusalem is not the capital of israel. the stakes are pretty high around this debate of what the president is going to do. one thing we know is we simply do not know. he has a couple of weeks to decide whether he will sign a waiver that would prevent the embassy from moving or carry on with law for the embassy to move to jerusalem. all of the key things will be how much emphasis he gives this issue when he arrives in this region injust a this issue when he arriv

dividing jerusalem is like solomon trying to divide a baby. you're going to kill a baby doing it, jerusalem has to be a united city, it has never been the capital of anybody but the. that's the only people who ought to have jerusalem as the capita capital. >> sean: agreed, i know the president is thinking about that, i agree that should happe happen. i took a tour of the old city, i didn't have it on previous trip trips. the armenian sector and the muslim sector and the jewish sector and the jewish sector in the christian sector. it's amazing in this very small area of space, there can be peaceful coal assistance, and that the p.a. is paying a terrorist matter of law they don't recognize israel's right to exist, where do you begin the discussion in terms of peace, i don't think you can in terms ul they change. >> jerusalem right now is a city under israeli control and they are very respectful of muslims, christians, and it jews. can you name me any muslim place in the world in which churches are being built and synagogues are being respected i

embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. we have been given very clear indications from senior officials that is on hold. even though the president selected an ambassador to israel from the united states who believes that that move should take place. also an ambassador who does not support a two-state solution, home for both israel and the palestinians. so there are some policy differences here. and, in part, what the president is telling us through his advisers and in his own words, is that he's looking for the israelis to be willing to do something, to give something in this. and that the president is willing to invest his own personal capital to be involved, which is always high stakes. presidents have tried before, presidents have come close, thought they had breakthroughs, didn't come to pass, and so for donald trump as president now, this is a high-stakes opportunity, one fraught with all kinds of dangers and all kinds of political peril. that's where we are right now, the friendship, the warmth between the president a

one is jerusalem. just yesterday vice president pence saying something that president trump had said over the course of the campaign. during the campaign the president said he would move the u.s. embassy in israel to jerusalem. we heard yesterday from vice president pence that they are giving serious consideration to that. that is a real concern for the palestinians. separately on the issue of settlements, they want to try to end the construction of jewish settlements in the west bank, an area they believe should be home to a palestinian state. mahmoud abbas certain to talk about that as well. beyond that as you will remember, we heard from president trump not too long ago basically saying that he was looking at a one state, two state solution, he didn't care as long as it satisfied the parties right there. those are some words that a lot of palestinians have been focused on since and certainly words that mahmoud abbas will bring up with the president today. >> i want to bring in msnbc's ayman mohyeldi

rajan is in jerusalem, the world's holiest city. this is, for christianity, the most important place in the world. quite an incredible experience to be here. we touch down in saint martin for a spot ofjet blasting, and check out a music festival aiming to entice a younger crowd to the caribbean island. and taking the perfect snap? we head to the lake district to capture one of the uk's most photographed landscapes. i want people to see my pictures and think, wow, that's inspiring. but it's something they can see with their own eyes. jerusalem is one of the world capitals of religious tourism. and easter and passover make for its busiest weeks. and a particular hotspot is the church of the holy sepulchre, where some believejesus is buried. rajan got rare access to the newly renovated tomb. rajan: they calljerusalem the world's holiest city. it's also one of the most conflicted. politics aside, the fact is, jerusalem has monuments that are sacred to three of the world's biggest religions. like the western wall for those of the jewish

president had several events th the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, then this morning in jerusalem, the president got into the beast, the presidential limo made the 25 minute drive over to bethlehem where he met with mahmoud abbas, and after, that the president came back to jerusalem with benjamin netanyahu before departing. the president made it pretty clear he thinks that this is a unique moment in history, and that peace in this region, he believes, is attainable. >> the palestinians are ready to reach for peace. i know you've heard it before. i am telling you, that's what i do, they're ready to reach for peace. and my meeting with my very good friend, benjamin, i can tell you also that he is reaching for peace. he wants peace. >> reporter: liz, there was a very clear contrast between the last year or so of the obama administration and the first few months of the trump administration here on display. at least in the eyes of the prime minister netanyahu, and that related to the iran nuclear deal. just about at every single turn, president trump either slammed that deal or made th
