a. handshake and a hug that's a now says he's proud of the new secretary of state has made israel part of his first officials who are in their press conference they seem to be on the same page especially on one of that's a now his favorite topics iran and pulling out of the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal. where the really good deal is very he's direct military bases. and i guess if that is there would be a pretty straightforward. iran deal has been hailed as a landmark agreement. observers have declared it is working and iran has stopped developing nuclear bombs. but netanyahu has long maintained that this is about the more than iran's nuclear activities the trump administration agrees with him. i'm sure the president and europeans are stopping the wrong impression about you about

aggression is the goal but trying to be really you know people call you longer duration to be involved. as a result of signing to do the opposite. to be wrong to try to go one country or maybe over the wrong stall. iran also funds and supports several non-state actors in the region this includes hezbollah which is based in lebanon and fighting in syria and is committed to israel's destruction. we remain deeply concerned about iran's dangerous places the rest is rule of the region and iran's a vision to dominate the middle east the way. united states is with israel in the fight. here around deal as it stands to gain years of delicate negotiations trump must decide whether to renew the deal or renew sanctions by may twelfth. all right for more let's go to some a soakaway correspondent in jerusalem now mike pump a.o.

says that the u.s. is going to quit this iran nuclear deal if it's not fixed what exact problems does he have with this deal you know well there are a few issues here at stake one issue that both the israelis and americans have been talking about a lot is the a ring and missile program and they're talking about only long range missiles but also medium air range missiles they say that these kinds of missiles they can they can strike israel and they can carry. their weapons of mass destruction and that the deal is fraud because these missile program is not inside the nuclear deal so that is one issue the other issue is a concerning tiger supervision they're asking for a paper a system a type a regime that would give the inspectors

a completed to go into military bases and other suspected areas in short notice and another issue at stake is it what they like to talk about is the sunset provision they're saying that this is the deal and it will end in two thousand and twenty five and we want to have something that will be open ended and we don't want something that will expire because once this will end the enduring use will immediately jump up their program so these are like the main issues a lot of these issues are not new netanyahu has long wanted the u.s. to take a more confrontational stance on iran now with pump a zero in charge it looks like he's going to get it what kinds of steps can we expect. well i think in israel at least everyone is waiting for the ring in response to an israeli air strike in syria if you remember earlier

this month israel struck in a base in syria four uranian were killed and we are waiting for their response and depending on the rain response will be the israeli response now i would imagine that this current administration will support any israeli response to the iranian response and this of course could escape. a lot of responses pompei oh chose the middle east trip of saudi arabia israel jordan for his first official tour does that mean the region is going to take center stage for the u.s. foreign policy well as you mentioned the various states you did not mention the palestinians so as we see the palestinians are outside of this equation and. even though today the policy of the palestinian authority is not to gauge with the americans because of their position visibly drusilla they still have mentioned that the americans did not even attempt to reach out on the

history of the day as we know it tend towards the palestinian authority to have any kind of limited so it seems that the current administration has kind of like it's really palestinian on the freeze of the process and is now pushing more than iraq. for some eight suckle thank you very much for joining us from jerusalem. well days after a historic summit between north and south korea pyongyang now says it's prepared to shut down its in underground nuclear test site according to officials in the south korean capital seoul it's one of the first steps expected to be taken after north korean leader kim jong un and south korean president in pledge to officially end the state of war between their two countries. it was a historic meeting between the two koreas where promises of peace and reconciliation were plenty but on the steps and how to achieve those goals well
