9:04 pm
everyone was here like everyone went today defense department against the refuse of . the rain and all the easing on the celebration of the other patient of the u.s. embassy. the israelis have been reacting very violent against the policy protesters where they have a lot of logic munitions against the powder protesters and used a lot of tear gas and the there was a press conference for the palestinian minister of health and they said that there are at least fifty five policies that have been killed today two thousand seven hundred palestinians have been injured and one hundred but. always few critical condition and are expected to die in any minute where what happened today is the palestinians said that they have the right to reject those they broke the fence that separates gaza with israel and that at that time the israeli snipers as this
9:05 pm
is ready soldiers using their objects started to brandish you all these palestinian protesters. were grabbed on the other side and it was very very hard to reach them and leave our kids in the world to for just a second i want to ask you what can we expect moving into tomorrow in the weeks ahead i mean is this violence based on what you've seen today is this violence going to get worse at the border. ok so what happened today is it was not only gaza or live ammunition what happened today is also airstrike at the same area we were covering like that very close to the camp so what's happened is people are expecting airstrikes tonight where people are also still deciding to partisan. they in that neck of the day which is a catastrophe where seven people anniversary where palestinians were driven out and
9:06 pm
that is from their host back in ninety four days so we don't know what's going to happen but everyone is so stressed that we feel that it's going to isolate by and is going to escalate everyone say that it's going to show up tomorrow if there were cracks and i. may be like it's going to be i do the gaza strip ok dari reporting tonight on the situation there on the gaza border with israel and thank you very much for your work thank you and we want to go now to our very own she is in jerusalem and she was at the embassy's opening today miles bring you when i want to ask you about something that was said today when the u.s. made the controversial decision to move the embassy it never defined jerusalem as the eternal undivided capital of israel but that is exactly what prime minister
9:07 pm
netanyahu said today at the embassy opening i mean what do you make of that is are his words do they mean that this is a done deal and that there can be no peace deal with the palestinians. it's really that word undivided that's the key word there brant the whole of division of jerusalem is part of this entire controversy here now if you're looking at it from the israeli perspective this was a done deal years ago and talking to israelis on the streets of course there are a lot of mixed feelings about this but there are many who say look this is simply a acknowledgment of reality jerusalem is functionally our capital our government is here our prime minister lives here our courts are here this has always been our capital and of course jerusalem being israel's capital being recognizes israel's capital has been a pet project of netanyahu for a long time but of course it is that word undivided as the division there that was supposed to be negotiated it will be
9:08 pm
a final status negotiation item on that during the whatever peace process is supposed to be going on which at this point is more or less moribund yeah and the prime minister netanyahu he showered president trump with praise today for keeping his political promise for making what is widely perceived as a controversial move let's put the rhetoric aside for a second though there is growing fear that israel and iran are inching towards war i mean how emboldened is the israeli leader leadership tonight the trump administration's unequivocal support. if you're not in you know right now there is no doubt in your mind that trump and the u.s. administration are one hundred percent on your side because not only did the u.s. move its embassy to jerusalem today but the u.s. has also announced they are pulling out of the iran deal and the iran does one of these things that netanyahu has been trying to show is
9:09 pm
a poison or get cancelled as trump would say sends really the beginning and we also know that israel has said that they struck some iranian targets in syria so there is definitely this fear of an escalation possibly between iran and israel and again let's you know basically feels like he has a free pass from trump at this point there was also some controversy surrounding the evangelical pastor robert jeffress who led a prayer at today's ceremony no earlier today mitt romney the former u.s. presidential candidate and a devout mormon tweeted this he said robert jeffries says that you can't be saved by being a jew and mormonism is a heresy from the pit of hell he said the same about is law such a religious bigot should not be giving the prayer that opens the united states embassy in jerusalem now there's a strong words there while he is not alone in his criticism of jeffries in fact the religious leaders that trump associates with they've been
9:10 pm
a lightning rod for criticism especially when we talk about this belief that the end game is now approaching. it's really important to remember that there are two demographics that trump was playing to when he made the announcement that he was going to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and one of those demographics is evangelical christians they very much support trump in huge numbers and a lot of them believe that the recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital is helping to bring about the end times so they are very much celebrating this that's one demographic and that is a demographic that jeffress is definitely a part of the other demographic of course is very conservative zionist right wing jews in america among them of course is sheldon adelson the casino millionaire who very much is pro israel and donates a lot to republicans so that was really a gift to him these are these two demographics that are really watching this and
9:11 pm
