of these violations of international law, we are no longer going to finance and protect an illegal occupation, illegal denial of the right of return, that yes, they would have that power. the question comes back to washington. will there be the political will to impose that kind of influence to use that kind of influence. so far we've not seen it. but that's what's going to be needed. >> i.s.i.l. has claimed responsibility for an attack on a shia mosque in saudi arabia. if state television reported that a man opened fire at a meeting haul inside the mosque in the eastern city of sahat. five people died and more than nine are injured. the gunman was later killed by security forces. the turkish military set it shot down a drone that entered its air space near the syrian border. they believe it was a russian
