president donald trump had recognized jerusalem as israel's capital. well it was certainly the american decision is certainly an important factor but but it basically only gave a tailwind to these kinds of efforts which are proceeding on a track in a sense independent of the trump administration's prior preferences we have again the consequence of the failure of a consensual framework for diplomatic engagement and an israeli effort particularly one mounted by israel's right wing to create an agenda that everyone will have to conform or accommodate themselves to so trump was certainly not playing chess with himself when he made his historic declaration but these these efforts are have been underway for quite some time there's a history on djourou jerusalem excuse me going back to nine hundred eighty if not earlier so trump was important in crystallizing these kinds of concerns and aspirations on the part of israel's right wing they were critical to it really sable in jerusalem this legislation also the stablish is a new local council for the palestinian

embassy to jerusalem sooner rather than later. but the "new york times" reports that president trump told prime minister netanyahu that israel had "won" on the matter but would have to make concessions to the palestinians in any eventual talks. so what concession is israel willing to give for all this stuff that you've been given by the u.s.? >> we have already made a profound concession. we've handed gaza over to the palestinians and they made a mess of gaza into a failed and terror state. we're not going to do that again. we gave up 80% of historical land of israel back in the '20s. what we need to see is how bottom up we create good lives for palestinians and israelis side-by-side. we're not going anywhere, they're not going anywhere. we have to figure out how to do it. but it's very tough to do it when the palestinians call and actually will fund their citizens to kill jews. they'll pay $3500 to anyone who kills many jews. they'll only pay $400 to someone who injures a jew. that's the official running rate in the palestinian a

embassy in israel will move to jerusalem by the end of next year u.s. vice president biden pence made that announcement in a speech to israel's parliament today he received a standing ovation but israeli arab lawmakers were thrown out of the chamber for protesting vinces visit and trump's policy on jerusalem also coming up a surprise deal in washington the u.s. senate votes to end the government shutdown paving the way for hundreds of thousands of people to go back to work and germany's social democrats get set for negotiations to form another grand coalition government with the conservatives but the chancellor will not have an easy. golf it's good to have you with us u.s. vice president has told the israeli knesset that the american embassy will move to jerusalem by the end of next year now that's earlier than expected and it only adds to the controversy mike pence is the first u.s. politician to visit the region since president recognized jerusalem as israel's capital last month israeli arab lawmakers today made their opposition to the move clear righ

, you could never get past jerusalem. so when people say, i said it back. i did not set it back. i helped it. table, itit off the was not an issue. with israel, something is going to happen. they will do something that will be a very good thing. but they want to make peace and i hope the palestinians want to make peace. and if they do, everybody will be very happy in the end. we will see what happens. i did not really read his remarks. i think i am better off not seeing them. them, have done a lot for and hopefully they are going to make peace with their people. you know what? it is many years of killing people. it is many years of killing each other. they have to be tired and disgusted of it. so, let's see what happens. i think eventually, very sound minds. i hope the sound mind will prevail. it would be a great achievement. betweenuld make peace israel and the palestinians. that would be one of our truly great achievements. but the money was never on the table. we give them tremendous amounts, hundreds of millions of do

under solution two for two is now no longer term of reference jerusalem is no longer and that it was stable yet we would like you to come and go see it over what it is not longer a frame of reference to negotiate or it's it's it's trickery it's american is what you do trickery they've used it a lot in the past but right now they are becoming particularly shameless about relative very interesting to hear your thoughts editor in chief of the palestine chronicle thanks for being with us here on our to international. all right trump's earlier move to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital has sparked violent unrest over the past month and now the israeli parliament seems to be adding fuel to that fire that has passed special legislation on jerusalem making that possible the separation of arab neighborhoods from the ancient city called the unified jerusalem amendment to the legislation also requires two thirds of parliament to approve any decisions made regarding the boundaries of a jerusalem we spoke to political commentator. about a possible reasons behind this move. every once in a wh

jerusalem is israel's capital.

and israel following trump's decision to move the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. become our goal is to overturn the american decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and to assert that it has no legal effect. we have specific requests the most important of which is the recognition of the palestinian state with jerusalem as its capital according to the june the fourth nine hundred sixty seven borders now the new york times is reporting that egypt has asked media in the country that to play down opposition to president trumps jerusalem decision it leaked to phone recordings a senior intelligence officer reportedly told leading t.v. talk show host to influence their viewers to back the decision despite egypt's public condemnation that the newspaper quoted captain ussher followed coley asking hosts how is jerusalem different from ramallah which is the current base of the palestinian authority in the occupied west bank captain kohli was quoted telling the talk show hosts and into fodder would not serve egypt's national interests and could revive harass

and in fact jerusalem is the most important. issue in the life of jews in the jewish people so it is it doesn't make sense that if the moment arrives and we sit down with the palestinians then we look them in the hours of the night and the whole world is involved in the process if something of that nature happens unite you need a special majority. source when it happens you know very. sorry just a minute it has no bearing none whatsoever on the lady life of jew jerusalemites but you're saying it's an important thing to jews and yes of course but it's important to muslims as well and to palestinians that you think of someone who is in the the camp which we talked about before. they have a permit which allows them to get into jerusalem to go to private alex and also for example something like that suddenly you take that away from them that's that's not helping that it's not getting anywhere towards two states and and solving the can but that's another term disability but that's about that's not what the bill says the burden that.

declaration on jerusalem penn says the most senior american official to visit jerusalem since the us announced its decision to move its embassy there the city status is a key point of contention in the middle east peace process well this is what pans had to say soon after meeting netanyahu. was great over. israel's capital jerusalem. following over the story this is. where he said we were in the. united states and israel. introduced but also i would call. for speaking with you here over the river. corresponding to how we force it now he's joining us live from the knesset and as we wait for the vice president's address i believe he's just and to. terry what do we. actually let's go to the live pictures now of the president as we are saying he has entered the knesset and he is about to address the israeli parliament let's listen no thanks. so as we wait for us was president to address the israeli parliament he is of course the highest ranking u.s. official to visit jerusalem so the u.s. president donald trump made the declaration in december of israel recognition of jerusalem as israel

i will say that they harder subject they have to talk about was jerusalem. we took jerusalem off the table. so we don't talk about it anymore. they never got pastor is. they took it off -- they never got past jerusalem can we took it off the table. they have to respect the process also and they have to respect the fact that the u.s. has given tremendous support to them over the years in terms of monetary support and other support. so we will see what happens in the peace process. respect has to be shown to the u.s. or we are just not going any further. thank you all very much. thank you very much, everybody. [indiscernible] >> thank you. pres. trump: we will see what happens. yes, we have a proposal for peace. it is a great proposal for the palestinians. i think it is a good proposal for israel. it covers a lot of the things that were over the years discussed and agreed on. the fact is -- i think you know this better than anybody -- there were never any deals i came close because jerusalem -- you could never get passengers on. i didn't set it back. i held it

is the capital of palestine but in arabic it said east jerusalem they were very quickly whisked out of that room into which mr pamphlett sad that he believed that that was a sign of democracy believe it or not that those people were forcibly taken out of their own out of their room don't you think that they trumpet mr issue which is very unabashed an unashamed about its own tendencies is going to bring out the worst from the israeli political class i don't have any expectations that the trumpet ministration can play the role of mediator we don't know if the trumpet ministration is going to present some kind of peace plan the ultimate deal the deal of the century that he's been talking about i think it's very unlikely that he's going to put something on the table that both israel. these and the palestinians can agree to it is likely to be like prior american proposals much more to the israeli position than the palestinian position in which case there won't be agreement and the israelis and the palestinians won't be able to reach a negotiation that will enable them to sign on the bott

president donald trump recognized jerusalem as israel's capital the condemnation from the arab world was swift and strong but is everyone on board the new york times reports that the gyptian media has been pressured to play down opposition to trump's decision and leaked phone recordings a senior intelligence officer reportedly told leading t.v. talk show hosts to influence their view as to back the decision contrary to widespread condemnation amongst muslims the newspaper quotes intelligence officer captain holy asking hosts how is jerusalem different from ramallah which is the base of the palestinian authority in the occupied west bank captain al holly was quoted telling the talk show hosts an intifada would not serve egypt's national security interests and could revive hamas. well egyptian has denied these claims boss is not the only one accused saudi arabia is also being criticized for what's seen as some as a weak reaction to trump's policy change even as king salmon public is not strong the heir to the throne crown prince mohammed bin solomon was reportedly urging palestinian le

embassy to jerusalem. trump said future financial aid to the palestinians could depend on willingness to engage in peace talks. >> thank you very much. good to be with prime minister netanyahu. we've developed a great it'sionship, where i think never been stronger. and i can honestly say that. personal friends, we have discussions going with things, including trade. but the big move and something that was very historic and very important was the fact that we moving our embassy, as you know, to jerusalem. as we also know, that is way ahead of schedule, by years. and we anticipate having a small opened sometime next year. so that's a long time ahead of schedule. it's an honor. it's a great honor to be with you. thank you very much. >> thank you. want to saydent, i something, because this is the had sinceing you've your decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital and to and now tobassy, to move the embassy to jerusalem. this is a historic decision that will be photography etched in the parties -- forever e

david michaelis at link tv and he comes with west jerusalem and i come from west jerusalem, so we come from the same seat. but in reality, two different worlds. >> i was born in jerusalem and i've been living there all my life, since 1945. five years ago i came to the united states to launch a tv channel. and that's how i met jamal dajani. he challenged me to think about solutions that hadn't been discussed until now. and one day we said, well, we should test it on the ground. >> the reality therere is very harsh. but why don't we go over there and do it.t. >> we are here i in a bubble.e. after r sometimeme of working together with jamal i said let's do this in california. you only have to choose e in th neighbororhood what kindnd of l youu want inn the morning.g. >> whehen i go therere i'm alwa eager to go o to my ppeople, to neighbhborhood. i wantnt to have the least interaction with the israelisis as popossiblele. >>>> many israelis ddon't wana know aboutut palesninians. they don't w want toto reaeach they don't wwant to cross into streets and d neighborhoodods w the paleststinians

donald trump's jerusalem is the capital of israel and belize really m.p.'s have passed a new law making it harder for any future government to compromise with the palestinians or hopes that for a two state solution this is inside story.

little welcome in his dress that palestinian leader has refused to meet him after trump position on jerusalem is america's role as a peace made in the middle east over. josten the biggest runaway leaders by noon it forced to work hard but i did not have things all their way against better but they are after all champions for me is that. she agreed to have a company. jim a social democrat said they want to renegotiate some key issues with conservatives and forming any a government the left of center party already demanded concessions after voting to pursue form a coalition talks fifty six percent of delegates pushed through a yes vote at a party conference on sunday just a slim majority but it's still a breakthrough as germany's two biggest political parties embraced the idea of another grand coalition. a tense moment for german politics yesterday with a narrow majority of s.p.d. delegates voting in favor of full coalition chalk's their leader martin schulz visibly relieved after surviving the cliffhanger but. chancellor merkel was also quick to express her relief welcoming the decision of her

in jerusalem we see all this and more and so today as i stand in a abraham's promised land i believe that all who cherish freedom and seek a brighter future should cast their eyes here to this place and marvel at what they behold how unlikely was israel's birth. how moron likely has been her survival and how confounding against the odds has been her thriving. you've turned the desert into a garden. scarcity into plantain sickness into health and you turn hope into a future israel is like a tree that has grown deep roots in the soil of your forefathers yet as it grows it reaches ever closer to the heavens and today and every day the jewish state of israel and all the jewish people bear witness to god's faithfulness. as well as your own. it was the faith of the jewish people that gathered the scattered fragments of a people and made them whole again but took the language of the bible in the landscape of the psalms and. made them live again and it was faith that rebuilt the ruins of jerusalem and made them strong again. the miracle of israel is an inspiration to the world and the united

policy in jerusalem here's what she said. clearly there is a problem with jerusalem and i would say this is a very diplomatic euphemism and we europeans as well as all the other words and the united nations system as such. still continue to believe that the only pragmatic realistic solution for jerusalem has to come from direct negotiations and has to be the capital of two states. if i'm on this issue let me join our jerusalem correspondent tanya crema she's near the israeli parliament the knesset where mike pence is due to speak and tell me i'm mike pence described jerusalem as the capital of israel what sort of signal of dissent but underscoring this during his visit there. well i mean he's expected to say that he fully supports the decision by president trump who declared in december that truisms the capital of israel and he had got a very very warm welcome here by israeli leaders by the government and as he said he will speak also at the knesset later we are standing here nearby which has been called already by some as an

has more from west jerusalem. well mike pence wasn't very far into the speech just a couple of lines the first as you noted given by u.s. vice president to the israeli knesset the parliament here before there was a protest from israeli palestinian members of the knesset standing up some shouting jerusalem as the capital of palestine of course contradicting the u.s. position that it is the capital of israel which was the source of that process before they were taken out of the knesset amid some scuffles the scuffles out here in the or at least there was shouting matches out here in the corridor as well after the speech with one right wing israeli member of the knesset calling one of the israeli palestinians a terrorist saying he had no place inside this building as for the content of the speech itself it really did throw into sharp relief the competing realities really which are now being operated in by the united states and israel on one hand and the palestinian leadership on the other he was saying that the unite

-- it could never get past jerusalem. people say ascended back. i didn't set it back. i held it by taking it off the table. that was the best decision. look, israel, something is going to happen. they will do something that will be a very good thing. but they want to make peace and i hope the palestinians want to make peace and if they do, , everybody will be very happy in the end. we will see what happens. we will see what happens. >> mr. president, any -- [indiscernible] no, i did not really read his remarks, personally. i think i'm probably better off not reading them. hopefully, they will make these for their people. you know what? it's many years of killing people. it's many years of killing each other. they have to be tired and disgusted of it. so let's see what happens. i think, eventually, very sound vines -- i hope, sound vines -- are going to prevail. we can make peace between israel and the palestinians. if we do that, i would consider that one of our truly great achievements. but the money is on the table. you

squarely trying to take jerusalem off the table what he did is kind of bang jerusalem down on the center of the table broke the table so we no longer even have a negotiating table with kind of jerusalem splattered all over the floor you know as a result fifty seven muslim majority countries recognized east jerusalem as the palestinian capital. the capital of a future palestinian state votes in the united nations have been less pro-american less pro israel than ever before in fact barack obama did a far better job at protecting israel at the u.n. so it's really been an abject failure is the purpose of the palestinian approach clear to you that has been a clear refusal to engage with the u.s. since president trumps announcement on jerusalem but that only seems to have angered president try to harden the u.s. position. look the palestinians enter negotiations decades ago and signed on to the oslo agreement under the understanding that all issues including and especially jerusalem would be resolved through negotiations and so by breaking its promise to the palestinians to the international c

president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel. the united states believes saeed is the mastermind of the two thousand and eight attacks in my. by over the course of four days attackers used automatic weapons and grenades to kill more than one hundred sixty people say he has denied involvement in the attacks and a court in pakistan found there was insufficient evidence to convict him and twenty seventeen he was put under house arrest for violating anti-terrorism laws made his release prompted outrage from pakistanis and the u.s. government which is long been critical of pakistan when it comes to clamping down on terrorism the pakistani government has targeted saeed's assets and charities they include three hundred schools hospitals ambulance services and a publishing house the government is blocking fund raising and there are plans to assume control of them the un security council has also banned two of sedes organizations pakistan is under pressure and there fly this decision. has come after the british by the americans by you and
