where he met prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he's expected to hold talks with palestinian president mac mood, abbas on choose dime. lincoln's visit comes off to days of violence in the occupied palestinian territory. a diplomatic. it is a james base reports arriving at telephone. therefore the u. s. secretary of state is visiting at a time of high tension but with few expectations. u. s. diplomacy can do anything to help. he spoke about recent violence to take an innocent life and enacted terrorism is always a heinous crime. but to target people outside their place of worship is especially shocking. a reference, the death of 7 israelis near a synagogue at an east jerusalem settlement on thursday. it's notable he spoke about incidence in which his riley's died, but didn't mention the raid jeanine refugee camp last thursday

a day on which 10 palestinians were killed. ah, before sec, dribbling can got here, there was another death, a palestinian man shot dead by israeli forces as he drove his car in the city of hebron. mister blinking has met benjamin netanyahu many times before, but this is the 1st meeting since he became head of israel's most right wing government. ever. the secretary of state said there must be a future where israelis and palestinians can live peacefully side by side. we continue to believe that the best way to achieve it is through preserving and then realizing the vision of 2 states, as i said, to the prime minister. anything that moves us away from that vision is in our judgment detrimental to israel's long term security. and it's long term identity as a jewish and democratic state. but the reality is that mister netanyahu in his key ministers don't support the idea of a 2 state solution. he didn't mention palestinians once, and instead focused on the threat from iran,

most of the international community have seen the true face of iran. they've seen the barbarism of this regime against its own people. they've seen how it exports. regression are beyond its border and beyond the middle east. and i think there is a common consensus that this regime must not acquire nuclear weapons. secondary blanket will continue his meetings with israeli officials on tuesday. he'll also make a brief visit to ramallah to meet with the president of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas. many in the international community would like the biden administration to take a more proactive diplomatic role in this conflict. but so far, there's no sign of a change in the u. s. position. james bays al jazeera, occupied east, jerusalem wrestle soda is in sil, one and occupied east jerusalem. he has more on the tensions between israelis and palestinians that we can see that the constant bullying and for vacation is, is,

is going on here. and the israeli forces are showing no sign off of the de escalation due to deescalate distribution here. so in sit when in this very packed area, there are 63000 palestinians are living here. and the israeli government has already issued 4650 and demolishing orders. and if these orders are implemented, it's simply in practical, it means that there will be no palestinians left you. all of them are going to be forced to leave their homes and without knowing where to go. so right over there, you can see where the hell were at. they're starting at the south of alex, a mosque and their, their escalations conducted by d, but by, by the israelis. and they said that they are looking for the remaining of the area of king davis. so through that escalations palestinians, i'd be forced to leave their homes right down here, down to the heel. it's his elbow stand and you see the houses rolled by

palestinians. now does rental properties are seen that these houses are going to be demolished? and the area is going to be turned into a national park. so up to the heel. it is a metal how're. and then at 116 demolish in orders from the israeli or thirties regarding battle. how were as well m s funeral has been held for some of the 62 people killed and black and pakistan's, northwestern city of tissue on, on monday. many of those killed and injured in the suicide bombing. we're members of pakistan, security services, the attack amendment to get past multiple checkpoints before detonating the device . at a mosque, a commander from the to rec. it taliban pakistan. the pakistani taliban said it was responsible. but the group later issued a statement denying, involvement. come all harder, has more from the size of the bombing and pitcher. while, as you can see,
