5:03 pm
embassy in jerusalem is our very own my standing by good to see you in my in the us make that a controversial decision to move the embassy if famously never defined jerusalem as to use the prime minister's words eternal undivided capital of israel so going by what he just said is this is a fit accompli a done deal. pretty much leyla i mean we have to look at it from the perspective of the israeli as from talking to people on the street of course there are some mixed feelings but there are a lot of people who simply say look this is the reality jerusalem has also has always been our capital our government is here our prime minister lives here our congress is here our supreme court is here and it's never been any other way now of course the controversy over to responding israel's capital is that when the original plan was drawn up for how to divide this region into two states jerusalem was supposed to be an international city it wasn't supposed to be the capital of
5:04 pm
either israel or the future palestine and so now israel declaring and the u.s. supporting that supporting the idea that jerusalem is a capital basically makes it very. hard to move forward on any sort of future peace process that might be in the works especially because jerusalem was supposed to be the last thing negotiated in a hypothetical peace process i'm not the first thing that was simply pushed out of the way now on my own not so far from where this offensive opening ceremony took place so there's been deadly protests in gaza any of that trickling down during the ceremony. so yeah we've seen of unfortunately a lot of deaths and many more possibly in the hundreds injured in those riots happening on the gaza border and i have to say that if you're here in west jerusalem you can really hardly feel it unfortunately it's sort of stereotypical of israel there can be massive protests or riots or violence happening miles away from
5:05 pm
you and you're walking around as if it's a totally normal day i will say that around where we are where the press is for overlooking the embassy behind me there have been both pro trump pro embassy moving protests and some very large counter protest an anti embassy protest led by the arab joint listen there were several arab israeli members of knesset here leading that protest and some scuffles with police were happening i saw a one person led away in handcuffs in front of me but mostly in jerusalem things have been pretty locked down. my a prime minister netanyahu showered president donald trump with praise for keeping his promise for making what is widely perceived as a controversial move the rhetoric aside there's a growing fear that israel and iran are inching towards war how bold and is the israeli leadership by the trumpet ministrations unequivocal support. this week in particular has been a big win for netanyahu not only are they moving of the u.s.
5:06 pm
embassy to jerusalem but the u.s. has also announced that they are backing out of the iran deal and if you're netanyahu in your mind you are definitely thinking trump and the u.s. administration are one hundred percent on my side there definitely are some legitimate fears that something along the lines of an attack could be brewing especially because we saw these attacks in syria on various iranian targets in syria just recently i believe last week and there are also other rumors of perhaps israeli. could increase israeli presence in east jerusalem which we know you saw recently supposed to be the capital capital of the future of palestine which is of course part of the whole controversy here a lot of steps being taken by netanyahu and also fears that the administration may be swinging ever more right we heard a lot of his speech very much going in the direction of the religious zionist which is a big part of his base saying a prayer is in hebrew at the end we heard there
5:07 pm
a bit of the prayer that thanks god for bringing us to this day a lot of mentions of the history of israel in the history of the jewish peoples connection to this land all very much play into that narrative of the the the right wing religious zionists correspondent my a shooter outside the newly inaugurated u.s. embassy in jerusalem thank you. all right we want to bring you now some of the other stories making news around the world. catalonia is parliament has elected a new original president and then a six month long leadership vacuum cantorial is a pro independence politician who has promised to work towards a callahan republic he's referred to as callow and is ousted former leader as the region's legitimate leader but if you armenians new prime minister says he wants closer ties with moscow he called it has met with russian president vladimir putin thanking the country's traditional ally for what he called its even handed
