president donald trump said that washington would recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel now that decision has triggered a new surge of violence in the gaza strip and west bank and protests across the muslim world. in the gaza strip effigies of donald trump and benjamin netanyahu burn. earlier protesters carried models of the temple mount through the streets. these symbolic acts bear one message jerusalem belongs to the palestinians and can never become israel's capital almost one hundred kilometers away more protests. we are here tonight on the edge of it is muslims and the christians. on this candle just. different messages toward the war. first of all we are refusing the speech of.

jerusalem as a capital for what called as well. moving american embassy to jerusalem. crowds demonstrated in turkey to the country's president friendship type add one making a diplomatic statement in support of the palestinians. who the struggle since jerusalem is currently under occupation we cannot go there and open our embassy but our consulate general is represented at ambassador level so we have to factor a complex case god willing the day is close when officially we will open our embassy there. despite the protests israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu reiterated his support for trump's plan to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and he condemned egypt's introduction of a draft u.n. resolution seeking to reverse the move. i would like to express once again my special appreciation for the determination leadership of president trump and his
11:04 pm
administration in defending the truth of israel they reject attempts to use the un as a platform against israel through the midst of the just days before us vice president mike pence is due to visit israel divisions in the middle east seem deeper than ever. and for more on this story i'm joined in studio by correspondent who is actually just returned from jerusalem where you are covering this exact story so what exactly is in this resolution that egypt is going to present to the u.n. so it's very short resolution it's just one page and basically it just calls for the u.n. to reject what donald trump has says it's calling about for them to affirm that this change in jerusalem status has no legal effect that it must be reversed and that the status of jerusalem has to be resolved through these peace negotiations which have actually been stalled sense twenty fourteen and they're currently as far as we know are no public peace negotiations happening and it's also calling on all countries to not move their embassies to jerusalem as we know all countries that
11:05 pm
have a business with israel recognize israel keep their embassies and tell of eve right now but it's worth taking a step back and remembering why drusilla missed such a big deal this is a city that's very old it has a lot of religious historical cultural context for people around the world and especially for people who are in this region and it was supposed to be the last thing the last piece of these peace negotiations to be negotiated and it was supposed to be theoretically split between the israelis and the palestinians as a partial capital for both and this this move by trump has up and did any sort of progress that has been made in the past really seven decades of the u.s. being a partner in these negotiations so what happens if the u.n. does vote in favor of this resolution. so we have to be honest with ourselves here the u.s. has a veto vote on the u.n. security council the u.s. the u.s. is one of five of the five permanent members of the u.n.
11:06 pm
security council so in all likelihood the u.s. is going to veto this resolution when it's put on the table to vote tomorrow but what is then going to happen after that likely is the palestinians will then turn to the general assembly and the u.n. as a body is as a rock. voting in a very pro palestinian fashion is not very anti israel fashion the u.n. g.a. and the un security council passed more resolutions against israel than any other country and we can look back as late as two thousand and twelve when palestine went before the u.n. g.a. to be recognized as a nonmember observer state and won that vote after losing in the security council because the us vetoed it likely that they're going to turn to the u.n. g.a. and we'll see some sort of resolution about recognizing east jerusalem if not all of jerusalem as the capital of palestine u.s. vice president mike pence is set to visit israel this wednesday a very interesting time for him to be there what kind of reception do you think you'll get is worth remembering that this trip was actually planned before all of
11:07 pm
this happened but now of course it has a much different context and a much different tenor to the visit on the israeli side he's likely to be very well received we have to remember that this issue of jerusalem being recognized as the israeli capital has been a pet issue for netanyahu and for his government on the palestinian side he was supposed to have a meeting a bilateral meeting with palestinian president mahmoud abbas and that has been canceled the palestinians immediately when this news broke said we are not going to meet with pens and we reject this move out right so not a lot of progress being made in bilateral negotiations there shall we say well thank you very much for your analysis. suicide bombers have attacked a church in pakistan killing at least nine people and wounding more than fifty hundreds of washed up as well inside the methodist church in the city of quick pakistani officials say quick action by security forces guarding the church prevented great bloodshed. a church in tatters after two suicide
