a denounced netanyahu is campaign pledge saying he would face a real problem if he followed through. we have been in the same position for the last. you know fifty one years since says sixty seven and we think that you know what is in this our system asked us to stay in the lounge is the best way to defend i would want answers you know he cannot expel us because we are not going to accept to be expelled we would stay there we would resist you know such behavior such decision and then you know the international community has to deal with us you know in dr respect for more on that let's cross over to our correspondent tanya kramer in jerusalem tanya thanks for joining us how seriously are palestinians taking this threat. i think there's a lot of concern you just heard to palestinian official talking there this is especially concern because of the recent u.s.
