palestinians in gaza and the west bank funerals have now been held for two hamas militants killed in the unrest. grief is rarely private in the middle east. militia men with masks and guns patrolled through crowds in cars the city an angry funeral parade. the dead were killed in asterix by israeli planes retaliation for rockets being fired towards israel from the gaza strip. two others died during clashes with israeli forces. yet the file it's remained relatively muted the real echo has been on the international diplomatic front. all along color come on let me look across on this decision is entirely provocation let me speak clearly we will never give our consent to this decision that tramples muslim and christian rights on jerusalem

will bizarre turn. the united nations security council also stood against trump's move. these decisions are helpful to the prospects for peace in the region a name that i know all of us in this council remain committed to this was welcomed by palestinian groups. it's very positive that many countries of the world came out to say that what america has done is not in the interests of the palestinians know the palestinian cause and not in the interests of the middle east in general. but at donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital has gone global demonstrations in london athens tunis and rome. scenes from around the world echoing the calls of those living at the center of the tensions in jerusalem it sounds. well short leave the arab league

which is an umbrella organization of twenty two arab states will be holding an emergency meeting in cairo to discuss donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital i'm joined now by ruth michelson she's a journalist in cairo ruth thanks for joining us so i just want is the arab league hoping to achieve at this emergency session. what seems most likely to happen in the emergency session that we will see this evening here in cairo. is some debate about the effects of donald trump's decision and it seems that the likeliest outcome is a statement of condemnation now how severe that kind of nation is and who it targets is what will also be very much on the table. you know statements criticizing israel coming out of the arab league on a lot of hurdles but a state in criticizing the united states and its foreign policy would be something

of a perk for norms that we've seen from. all right so if they do come up with a joint statement of condemnation and assuming that the united states is the target of this statement what kind of an impact will it have are they just words or will we see some policy changes. well the arab league has been criticized in the past to be a bit of a talking shop and often the statements that have made don't always have a direct impact in terms of the policy choices from individual member states but there's always the potential for that change i mean also their. current statements of condemnation have only been broadly in line with the points of view that we know that member states already hold so for example that most recent statement of condemnation was condemning the lebanese group hezbollah and calling them a terrorist organization what we might see this evening if it is criticizing u.s.

foreign policy seems unlikely to indo current business dealings but if it's criticizing israel that could change things though there are things like gas deals in the works between. israel and egypt the gas pipeline that would go by jordan and . this could potentially in danger of that but that would seem quite unlikely one direct response to trump statement is that the leader of the comp to church in egypt has now announced that he won't be meeting the american vice president mike pence who is due to visit egypt later this month now egypt is of course a key ally of the united states so just how much damage has trump's announcement made already. it fennelly down a bit of damage on the ground there were proposed protests outside the u.s. embassy in cairo i believe on thursday evening that did not actually go ahead and partly because protesting on the ground to egypt is extremely difficult for

egyptian citizens but in terms of damaging relations with the egyptians at a policy level each until now has reviewed itself as a key player and palestinian peace talks not just between the. palestinians and potentially the israelis not aligned but also between palestinian factions and this really undermines the efforts that. egyptian relations with the trump white house have been an absolute high and spectate in comparison to trump speed excess of barack obama. this decision certainly puts that in danger and it's that it puts the egyptians in an awkward position when it comes to their relationships with the u.s. versus their relationships with their neighbors. had with michaelson reporting for us from cairo many thanks indeed. well now to some of the other stories making news this hour and iraqi prime minister hyder bondy's says his country's war with the so-called islamic state has been won he says the army has driven i-s.
