already these illegal of us are talking about just good hardworking people that want to live the american dream like our ancestors these are hindu refugees are terrified that they may be forced to return to me and mark. stun grenades and tear gas fired inside. compounds as israeli forces break up a sit in a palestinian. hello again i'm kemal santa maria here in doha with continued coverage of the violence in occupied east jerusalem. hundreds of protesters

some journalists as well have been injured israel intensifies its crackdown ahead of a jewish nationalist march which has now begun. this. tense scenes as well in. the occupied east jerusalem neighborhood where palestinian families are fighting against forced evictions. and international pressure is mounting in response the un security council is discussing the situation in a closed door session. so occupied east jerusalem is where we begin again al aqsa mosque compound islam's 3rd holiest site has been the scene of a violent is ready crackdown on palestinians. this is inside the mosque israeli forces firing rubber coated steel bullets tear

gas and sound bombs at palestinian worshippers the 2nd time israeli forces have stormed a lot since last week. we were praying in the mosque suddenly the soldiers look at it. without any clear they shouted. the. money goes into injured dozens of. people the for on long enough bullets it's amazing this is a praying not for a fight but. this was outside in and around the compound which houses the mosque israeli security forces targeted palestinian protesters who were standing guard tensions are running high as the right wing is ready nationals begin their march for an event they call jerusalem day it appears the route of that march has however been changed to avoid further

escalation the latest numbers from the palestinian red crescent saw that more than 330 people have been injured which includes some journalists as well activists say some protesters have been hit in their eyes and heads with rubber bullets. you've also got these events in a neighborhood out the heart of the current unrest between israelis and palestinians have been arguments of in competitions between members of the israeli knesset the parliament as well as right wing activists and palestinian protesters is all about whether several palestinian families will be forcibly evicted from their homes after living there for generations to make way for israeli settlers. and at the national the shack an out of line about a foolish i can imagine my situation i built my house brick by brick and stone by stone and in it i raised my children i lived here with my husband for 70 years suddenly they came and cleaned up my house has become theirs soon they will come to move us by force as they did in the family soon there on vehicles will come to

bring people out of their homes naked and barefoot it's an unjust on and it is a dirty occupation. there's a lot to digest we'll get through it with our correspondents abraham in ramallah in the occupied west bank our white house correspondent kimberly how as well for us reaction starting with harry forces at damascus gate outside. you were telling us earlier that this was potentially the route which the jerusalem day the israeli march could come through i believe that's changed now. indeed has been a real flip flop of a day it seems from the israeli security establishment from the beginning even before what we saw in the locks a mosque compound known as the temple mount to jews this morning the real fear on monday was about this march about the march of tens of thousands of largely right wing religious nationalist israelis bearing flags singing dancing in

a triumphalist sort of way celebrating what they see is the unification of jerusalem in 1067 what the palestinians here represents the beginning of the occupation of east jerusalem and so in the early morning we heard that the security establishment had been recommending against it going ahead very late in the afternoon there were reports that it was going to go ahead in the traditional manner we saw a big group of palestinian protesters gathering here blocking pretty much the entrance of damascus gate and then very much at the last possible moment it seems that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has decided to cancel this part of the march to alter the route so it goes through only west jerusalem that is something that has already had some criticism from the israeli right wing some elements of that march saying they aren't going to march only in west jerusalem because the whole point is that they want to march through the united capital but i think it

was pretty clear if there had been a and attempts for thousands of people to come streaming down these steps either the security forces would have had to really moved in to clear out the way or there would have been face to face confrontations and in the current atmosphere it seems israeli government has judged that it's not worth that kind of a risk. that the nice people i have right now i'm gonna go no i haven't seen such a storming since 100627 this is a heinous crime that can never be ignored the victims number because snipers targeted the heads and the eyes of the people described can't happen anywhere in the world except here because these forces are patient forces. these forces committed crimes just to satisfy netanyahu who want to satisfy the south and to stay more as prime minister and that's why netanyahu has committed such a massacre today a lot from us because the victim of this conspiracy has developed a netanyahu office a luxor will stay always alex thank you for that so a member of the islamic higher council speaking there about also

a lot of concerns about what's happening harry in the neighborhood of checked off today. yes that's right that's something that's been happening in parallel but also has been a major driver of the protests that we've seen for weeks now it is an issue of the palestinian families there who are appealing through the israeli legal process even though their lawyer said that it that process by its nature ignored some of the key questions of international law that apply to trying to get a ruling overturned that they would have to give that land up to a jewish settlement organizations that say that it belongs it belongs to jews before the creation of the state of israel in 1948 and so that hearing in the supreme court which was due to take place today it had been referred to by the israeli government as a private land dispute that has been put off thanks the intervention of the

attorney general's office lead israeli government does feel necessary to intervene in that but throughout the day we've seen scenes along the neighborhood street with far right israeli politicians facing off against members of the palestinian israeli joint list parties are being clashes involving them and the israeli security forces so it remains tense there too and just the last few minutes as well there has been a focus a renewed focus on gaza hamas is warning that if the israeli government does not by 6 pm local time so in less than an hour pull its forces out of the luxor compound out of shape. let go all the people that it is arrested so far it says it will pay the consequences and already we've seen israeli government reinforcing its military in the gaza area their road closures very security alerts a major military exercise has been canceled so there is obviously real attention and real concern about what could happen on the gaza front as well ok we're up to

date then with harry forsett in occupied east jerusalem thank you ok about the israeli government's reaction there we've heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu he has praised the police for supporting what he called a just struggle and for upholding law and order and. really bush allusion our struggle is taking place in the heart of jerusalem this is not a new struggle this is a struggle between intolerance and tolerance between law breaking and violence and law and order the struggle is not new because it has transpired over jerusalem and the heart of jerusalem for centuries since the rise of the monotheistic religions for years one side ruled and excluded the 2 others and sometimes they changed them and the same thing happened you can say that in the long history of jerusalem only under israeli sovereignty since 1967 we are witnessing a continuous and stable secure period in which we are working to ensure freedom of worship and tolerance for all. let's check palestinian reaction now with him

reporting from ramallah on the occupied west bank harry alluded to what hamas has been saying almost a threat effectively coming from gaza what about the palestinian authority the. fallston enough forward to. the recent escalation we've heard from the palestinian presidency spokesperson who is saying that israel is challenging the international community but also the u.s. administration that this trying to calm down the situation we've also spoken to the p.l.o. executive committee member. who says that is that the israelis are sorry that the international community is not stepping up when it comes to strong reactions that should curb israel is the elation she says that the condemnations given there are not enough to calm the situation down and we've heard from palestinians in the

street they want a strong get reaction from the palestinian authority itself there is a clue. who tweeted this this morning saying that the palestinian leadership is going to be meeting and studying what options they are going to be taking but for palestinians in the streets who have been protesting that they think that this is simply not enough we've also heard from the palestinian prime minister. who condemned the skill ation and here's what he had to say in the beginning of the weekly meeting in new york. i hold the israeli government fully responsible for what the worshipers were exposed to in the blessed mosque and i warn of the consequences that will result from such incursions as well as attempts to evacuate the people of shake the original owners of the land from their homes. why did mr maher i called on the international community to intervene immediately

to stop these horrific violations and to provide protection to the citizens of the palestinian territories especially in the city of jerusalem which is undergoing ethnic cleansing to day jerusalem is restoring the glow of the coals needed just a quick word if you would before we talk to kimberly in washington but about what the palestinians are asking for form groups like the u.n. and the u.s. . the palestinians regular palestinian on the street wouldn't really expect much from the u.n. or the international community they've been told that any of them are doing any steps to help the palestinians they of course release condemnations or even security council resolutions that are not being implemented on the ground but when it comes to the palestinian diplomats the politicians they think it's very important now with the new u.s.

administration to work in a way that could curb its radio violations and we know that before president by then we had 4 years of president trump in which palestinians say he was just giving the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu one gift after the other so they hope that with this new administration although it's. more interest are more domestic but they hope that they could calm the situation down and specifically when it comes to the israeli violations and he can supplement building in the occupied west bank including east jerusalem thank you need to bring him in ramallah and as promised our white house correspondent kimberly now still early i guess and maybe not any response from the americans yet but as needed was alluding to there it's a different administration now and i guess the palestinians in particular would be hoping for a different approach. no fresh reaction from the biden administration although the white house press secretary to holding a briefing in

a number of hours where she is likely to be asked about this but there's no question it is right that this is an administration that has been trying to focus on domestic issues and really not be drawn into the ongoing conflict between the israel and the palestinians but the events of the weekend obviously changing all of that we know the national security adviser jake sullivan holding a telephone call with his israeli counterpart over the weekend where the united states expressed serious concerns about what happened at the mosque and also in the shake neighborhood the united states government urging the israeli government to try and bring about and to work with the united states as it encourages the israeli government to pursue that goal but i can tell you that many here in the united states including members of the president's own democratic party on capitol

hill saying that more needs to be done from the united states to ensure that the tensions are deescalated thank you kimberly at the white house we'll check in with you again later. the rest of the day's news is coming up as iran condemns an attack on its consulate in the iraqi city of karbala after protesters set fires over the killing of a prominent activist and a report from sudan on how people smuggling is flourished since the conflict broke out in neighboring ethiopia. hello we've had some lovely sunshine across such a pattern recently so going to change as we go on through the next couple of days we've got west of weather started to push its way at the central parts of china we've got a high pressure up towards the korean peninsula but our area of high pressure will

dozens of family settled there $956.00 they were among the hundreds of thousands of palestinians expelled from their towns in 148 in what's often referred to. as the math about the catastrophe about a decade later the families became protected tenants under a deal with the jordanian government but that was voided because jordan lost control when israel occupied in 167 series of court cases is ruled in favor of a settler organization that seeks to make the area completely jewish we spoke to mohammad a little bit earlier founder of the law firm of the associates who told us the israeli land or forest has long favored the expansion of settlements. we have force sometimes have also a listening ear from the israeli land both already when they. initiated this process of just getting this land in 1972 i'm going to remain the israeli land or
