there's been more on rise over the plans to leave palestinian families demonstrators again tried to enter this shakes out neighborhood soldiers use sound bombs against the crowd and closed all entrances to the area we're not sure how well they suffer cuts there is an attempt not only to apply time division it alex a mosque but also to divide the most physically should not be done we must work to prevent it in the vigilantes are defending the mosque on behalf of the arab nation in the islamic nation and is very important that those stationed in jerusalem and the surroundings of jerusalem and the mosque feel there is an expression of support for them by their brothers in different countries including turkey both are boys inside the mosque and joined us on the phone earlier. they join the police have absolutely nothing to do. inside the mosque what is happening is that almost doesn't that aren't going to have teams who are about to get going fast you know

some of them people are asking after only 20 people all of a day huge force of police attack look they watch occurred during them all the t.v. now we don't even know their lives are not all can go on inside of our young and old hermes are you still shoot back with still remaining that we're going to even come to my people because he didn't have the time to start eating to start making a cause which after their own 15 hours so it was not flashy you know. it was a book an attack on the world shepherd i think you because now it's all you can use to knock one off such person it's all the luck some of the parts all of the current scene there are thousands of people that are inside the mosque and they have you know many of them have to food with their children oftentimes or you know if there are small means so that they can break them up and then after form or

another to pray or another to. happen is that they didn't even have the time to do that are we all of a sudden they were attacked by those only for we all know this season that is there by the way this is nothing new i mean this is a reality here in general even in a lot some of. their homes joining me live from ramallah in the occupied west bank and it is just bring us up to date with what's happening on the ground at the moment. now the situation seems to be call made and then the near. compound but we've been told that there are still ongoing clashes near the compound in the old city of jerusalem and we've been hearing from many hulet going back to the occupied west bank. that they were subject to humiliation and torture at the checkpoint one of the checkpoints is separating jerusalem. west bank and that they where subject to. arrest as well so it seems to

be the situation seems to be calming down at the moment but it could flare up again probably tomorrow or if it on monday when the israeli jewish israelis are marking the jerusalem day by big march and this march is received by the palestinians as a provocation and it's. as it shows that the israelis have the upper hand in the city and of course they already do but. they've long sent that that east jerusalem is going to be their capital president because it's a great at that and said that this is the eternal capital of the palestinian people and he also urged the u.n. to hold a session an urgent session to provide protection to palestinians and it's also worth mentioning that on monday it is also considered that's a very holy night the holiest night. with many palestinians were saying that

maybe what's going on in jews them during inside the locks a mosque is that israelis are trying to evacuate the premises to allow the israeli set to go inside now the whole thing has that this whole situation has been tense and volatile since the beginning of when the israeli police put their. kates the gates in the old city of jerusalem and this is a place where many palestinians after they leave the locks almost they go and sit there and gather around but when this really is a with these barricades they were trying to prevent palestinians from gathering and they said that this is an attack on palestinians right to be in the city this is why they've protested against it and they managed to pressure the israelis to remove those benefits of course this was followed by the tense situation in russia where 40 shamblings are expected to be evacuated from their houses they say that

they've been and sharon is just. read to you say that they didn't facing threats of addiction since the 1990 s. but these families are facing the imminent threat of big evicted and this has definitely caused many palestinians to be angry and to protest and we've seen a lot of them going on social media trying to write about to try and to the whole world to pay attention to what's going on in jerusalem and unfortunately as many palestinian activists will tell you that instant web has been deleting those posts some hashtags saying a lock something were deleted from instagram saying that they violate the terms of their website and also some people have said that facebook has been eliminating it removing people's accounts so they are trying to raise their voices and want the

whole world to know what's going on and also have said that it's not going to stay silent in front of these israeli provocations the islamic jihad says that ready the israelis will pay a price for what they're doing in these tubes that they have and i thank you very much ms abraham talking to us from the occupied west bank. well it's been a tense few weeks in occupied east jerusalem the start of the muslim holy month of ramadan saw an upsurge in violence israel blocked a popular spot for palestinians meet to break their fast triggering 2 weeks of protests before the restrictions were lifted is needed was talking about a court order to evict palestinian families in this shakes out on neighborhood have led to nightly protests and raids by israeli police those tensions have now come to a head at al aqsa mosque which is a long running flashpoint between israelis and palestinians alike some last compound is one of the most important sites in islam it's also sacred for jews who

refer to it as the temple mount well khalid al hindi is the director of the program on palestinian israeli affairs of the middle east institute is also a former advisor to the palestinian leadership and he's joining us live from arlington virginia via skype thanks very much indeed for being with us given the timeline that neither has been outlining and also that the short timeline i just mentioned there how inevitable was it that this these clashes took place. well just given the timing after the extremist riots that we saw a couple weeks ago the shift of rock big sions this is a particularly sensitive moment and it was it was predictable and especially when israeli forces are using such violent tactics that seem you know that are disproportionate fiery. passion grenades and rubber

bullets at unarmed protesters and as you indicated at the beginning of the report almost 180 or so palestinians there been injured just in one day and so obviously that kind of military stick response is going to heighten tensions. and you know in a already very tense environment we heard from saying that that's hamas has been threatening a response that islamic jihad has been was threatening a response it is getting quieter as a locks at the moment although we have heard of close that there is some there are some clashes taking place in other parts of the city where do you think this is going to go from here well unfortunately i don't think things will die down anytime soon i think the real flashpoint is going to be on monday when we have you know tens of thousands of israeli right we protesters. marching

through the old city and through slums yet another provocation that is going to high tension at. this time where our needs are being forcibly and violently from there on is when israeli forces are. violently suppressing palestinian protests. and to have extreme and kind of in your face a. gesture of this this massive march through the whole city is really like pouring gasoline on on the flame so things can get really out of hand and and we still have this active reality of these evictions that are ongoing. and you know all of this is happening in a vacuum in a sort of political and diplomatic track obviously there is no peace process. very much this is a the international community to the extent that it's involved is really just

issuing statements. and there isn't a palestinian leadership that is seen to be up to the challenge either they you know my best leadership cannot operate in jerusalem. you know relegated to issue a you know in statements on television and on radio but there's not really that much that he can do and so it's an opportune moment when you have this vacuum for groups like hamas and others to try and fill that vacuum. because there is no there is no political leadership or process that anyone could try to use to tamp things down and that has been an international response jordan has responded so has caught on various other countries as well turkey has to there are calls for the u.n.

to get involved we've been in the situation before when there isn't a concern and demands that international support is the only way it's going to be out of this but as you were talking about there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest internationally in doing anything about this what would be a tipping point what would it take. for foreign governments to actually start to try to actively find a solution to this situation unfortunately i think it's going to take a loss of life and not on a small scale if we remember almost exactly 20 years ago. when the 2nd intifada broke out in september of 2000 there was a lot of violence there was. a lot of casualties. and even at that moment when there were deaths and casualties mainly on the palestinian side there was a call by the palestinian leadership or international intervention and it wasn't

taken seriously instead what happened was the clinton administration at that time were together on your national inquiry. but now i think what is likely to happen is we're going to c.e.o. of a wait and see attitude by most of the international community and it's going to take a very. unfortunately heavy. probably deafened casualty toll or. for major powers like the united states to intervene khaled elegant the we appreciate you joining us on the edges in a thank you very much indeed for your time thank you. another coven 1000 vaccine will soon be widely available to help in the fight against the virus the world health organization has approved the chinese made sign
