6:00 p.m. eastern time when bret baier anchor a special report live from saudi arabia. the president will meet with mahmoud abbas. stay tuned for that. i'm sandra smith. here's shepard smith. >> shepard: it's noon on the west coast, 3:00 p.m. in d.c., 10:00 p.m. in jerusalem where president trump says he has new hope for the ultimate deal, peace in the middle east. he's facing questions about controversies back home, like when he gave the russian classified information that came from the israelis. the national security adviser michael flynn taking the fifth. he made it official. refusing to and over documents about his ties to the russians. now that a special counsel is on the job, judge andrew napolitano says the feds could send in a swat team to get the documents. james comey getting ready to tell his side of the story and
12:01 pm
under oath. did the president ask him to drop the flynn investigation? video shows turkish body guards beating up protesters here in the united states. we've seen this. now there's something new. turkey claims american security officers were unprofessional. let's get to it. first from the fox news deck, iran's aggression is helping bridge the divide between israel and the arab world. that was the message today from president trump in israel. the laysest leg of his first foreign tour since he took office. president trump arrived in tel aviv this morning and headed into jerusalem. he said there -- he said there's been tremendous progress in bringing together israel, saudi arabia and other arab nations. he also blasted president obama's nuclear deal with iran
12:02 pm
and said the iranian republic should be grateful. >> they should have said thank you. they would have failed within six months. we gave them a lifeline and not only that, we gave them wealth and prosperity. we gave them an ability to continue with terror. >> ability to continue with terror, this is among the president's events today, continuing the western wall. president trump in the first sitting american to visit that holy site. more on that, its importance and the details ahead. the president visited the church of the holy sceplicar. the president addressed a recent controversy as well. president trump responded in a meeting to reports that he may have jeopardized an israeli intelligence source but sharing highly classified information with the russians in the oval office. >> i never mentioned the world or the name israel.
12:03 pm
never mentioned it in the conversation. so you have another story to run. never mentioned the word "israel." >> that's not what they reported. the "washington post" reported on the sharing of the intelligence. none ever claimed that the president identified the source as an israeli. they never reported he identified. though he just did. the post and others said the russians could have figured out the source. that was the reporting. rex tillerson also talked about this with reporters on air force one. >> does the president plan to apologize for telling the russians israeli intelligence? >> i don't know that there's nothing to apologize for. >> he did release intelligence without their permission. >> i'm sure if they need information, we'll provide it.
12:04 pm
>> shepard: today prime minister benjamin netanyahu said intelligence cooperation between the united states and israel is "terrific." we'll have more on the russian investigation and the road block from answers from president trump's former national security adviser michael flynn. john roberts is on the road with the president in jerusalem. john, other sitting presidents have not been to the western wall. good reason for that. >> there is, shep. we'll explain that to you after we said that we're not under fire here in jerusalem. there's a fireworks display going on. to the western wall. if a sitting president visits the western wall, could be acknowledgement that it's part of israel and that status has been decided yet. speculation that the president believes the western wall is in israel. his officials were clear about that going in. it caused a controversy here in
12:05 pm
israel when one u.s. official planning the trip said it's not in israel, it's in the west bank. netanyahu, you can't accompany the president. that forced sean spicer to walk it back saying the wall is in jerusalem. rex tillerson said clearly it's in jerusalem, which is like saying that the moon clearly orbits the earth. that's just a fact of life. it is controversial that none of the israeli officials were invited to accompany the president. the president has his mind focused on peace. after coming from the arab summit yesterday, we saw a new spirit of cooperation. he believes he might convert the fight of terror to greater support for a peace process between the palestinians and israeli. listen to what he said earlier today. >> i thank the prime minister for his commitment to pursuing the peace process. he's working very hard at it. it's not easy. it's heard it's one of the toughest deals of all, but i have a feeling that we're going
12:06 pm
to get there eventually, i hope. a lot of love out there. people from all nations, even nations that you would be surprised to hear, they want to stop the killing. they've had enough. america stands ready to assist in every way we can. >> the president calls this the ultimate deal. shep, it's a deal he would like to see his famous signature on the bottom of. by the way, benjamin netanyahu appreciated the fact that the president west to the western wall. >> shepard: what are the israelis and palestinians saying about the peace process? >> they're not saying much about it. they're both saying the right thing but also saying the wrong thing. first of all, to benjamin netanyahu, he does see new momentum towards peace under the right conditions. listen to what he said.
12:07 pm
>> you have noted so succinctly that common dangers are turning former enemies into partners. and that's where we see something new and potentially something very promising. it won't be simple. but for the first time in many years, mr. president, for the first time in my lifetime, i see a real hope for change. >> a real hope for change. mahmoud abbas, the palestinian authority president said if anybody can get this done, it's president trump. there's the right things for both leaders to be saying. they're both insisting on borders that the other side cannot swallow. the president will see abbas in bethlehem. we'll see if there's movement there at all. >> shepard: thanks, john. let's go to ambassador dennis ross. the point man on the mideast peace process for the bush and clinton administration. and a author of "doomed to
12:08 pm
succeed." he's now a fox news contributor and live in washington. mr. ambassador, thank you. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> shepard: real hope for change. aside from hope, do you see any evidence? >> the main evidence is in fact that there's a level of cooperation between the israelis and the sunni arab states below the arab screen. that has not existed before even though it's below the radar screen, makes the fact that it's very real. what is significant is two things. one, it's still below the radar screen because of the palestinian issue and two, the relationships have been one characterized by deep distrust and deep disbelief. so you have a context that is different because you have a new asset. the cooperation of arab states with israel on security. but you still have very wide gaps between the two sides on the substance and the core
12:09 pm
issues that confront them and real psychological gaps as well that have to be overcome. >> shepard: does either side seem willing to budge on what you described as the core issues? >> at this point, i don't see any evidence of that. that's one of the reasons -- i don't think you start on the core issues. if you star there on jerusalem, refugees, borders, security, if you start on those issues, you drive each side to their maximal positions. if you want to get at the issues, first establish some foundation. get each side to take steps that address the concerns and needs of the other. it won't be simple but it's a starting point. the good example, palestinians are never willing to accept the state as long as israel can build in it. israel can build only in the settlement blocks. they're territory closest to the june 4,1967 lines.
12:10 pm
it means 80% of the settles would be there. the palestinians could address a fundamental israeli need. either by stopping the financing of the martyrs foundation, which rewards the families of those that try to kill israelis or kill israelis and put in pressure or something else the palestinians can do, they can acknowledge there's two national identities. that's why you need two states for two people. the palestinians have never acknowledged that the jewish people were entitled to a right. >> shepard: are they in a position -- with mahmoud abbas' popularity so low, are they in a position to do something like that? >> it would be very hard. takes on the palestinian narrative. your point is right. he's not popular. here's where the arabs come in. here's where you look for them
12:11 pm
to create a cover. in the case of the palestinians, because they are too divided, they need to get the arab states to assume some responsibility. you can take a step where he says, the arab brethren are calling on us to take this step that is important for the israelis. some of the steps they would take like not building outside the settlement blocks, that would be difficult to do. but if they with point to what they're receiving from the arab states, they can rationalize it. that's where the first issue we started to talk about, the role of the arabs is significant ant we haven't seen them play it before. certainly when i was not acting as the envoy. >> shepard: before you go on the matter of israeli intelligence being shared with the russians by the president, you read a lot of conflicting reports on where the israelis really are.
12:12 pm
is there going to be a hesitance? >> they'll be under the guidance of the prime minister. he made it clear he's not going to allow what happened to either mar this visit or interfere with what has been a profoundly important relationship between our intelligence services. this is something that services the interest of the united states and together. it's not only the interest of one side. so there's no doubt that he will give direction of that to continue. my guess is there probably will be some discussions within the -- between our intelligence services about guidelines, what happens in terms of sharing, what our expectations from here on out are and probably some discussions within israel with the intelligence services there and the prime minister. >> shepard: interesting. ambassador ross, nice to see you again. thank you. >> you too. >> shepard: president trump's ousted national security adviser says he will not testify about the alleged ties between russian and the trump campaign and all of his dealings with the

12:16 pm
the panel subpoenaed the documents for its into the russian interference in u.s. election and potential collusion with members of team trump. the president fired flynn in february after white house officials said he misled the vice president about conversations with the russian ambassador. lawmakers from both political parties say general flynn may have broken the law when he took hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign payments. he tried to get immunity from the senate intelligence committee but the panel has thus far turned him down. the committee is conducting several investigations into russian meddling. catherine herridge has this live from washington. what are we hearing from general flynn's attorneys? >> thank you, shep, this letter was sent to the senate intelligence committee confirming mike flynn and his legal team will not provide records despite a subpoena citing flynn's fifth amendment protections. those close to flynn emphasized
12:17 pm
he wants to testify fully but he will need immunity after the appointment of a special counsel. today it's been said that for now it's a sound legal strategy. >> people want to make a big deal out of it like somebody asserting their privilege must be hiding something. that's not often the case. they're listening to a competent lawyer that says you should have protections before you get involved in a criminal justice system or a heated political situation like this. >> as we came on the air a few minutes ago, nbc has reported that two former trump campaign associates, paul manafort and roger stone have provided documents to the senate intelligence committee and we'll try to confirm that independently, shep. >> shepard: we know the former fbi director will testify after memorial day. any word on the house? >> we're still waiting for word
12:18 pm
from the house government oversight chairman who has extended an invitation to james comey for wednesday this week. congressman chafetts said the two plan to meet today. this move has angered republican chairman chuck grassley and dianne feinstein who are asking the former fbi director to continue. feinstein says she plans to press comey on the earlier exchange. >> does anybody oppose a specific investigation? can they halt the fbi investigation? >> in theory, yes. >> has it happened? >> not in my experience. it would be a big deal. tell the fbi to stop doing something that -- without
12:19 pm
appropriate purpose. >> at the time when we covered this hearing, it didn't seem like a important or dramatic exchange. now that we know director comey took these memos documenting his meetings with the president, that exchange really goes to the heart of the central question, were there conversations that amounted to an attempt to influence and if that was the case, if it crossed a legal threshold no thank you, catherine. more ahead on the russian meddling. i'll speak with a reporter that might be disappointed with michael flynn's decision to take the fifth. more coming up. my goal was to finally get in shape. not to be focusing on my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. so i made a decision to talk to my dermatologist about humira.

12:23 pm
>> shepard: continuing coverage of the flynn and comey investigations and russian meddling investigation. let's turn to anna palmer from politico, co-author of the politico newsletter, "playbook." this matter of flynn taking the fifth is not that big of a surprise. of interest is what happened 1 1/2 months before the election, the general election. so 1 1/2 months before president trump won the election. listen to what he said about hillary clinton's people. >> so there's five people taking the fifth amount like you see on the mob, right? if you're innocent, why are you taking the fifth amendment? >> president trump asked the question, anna. >> this is one of the examples where president trump as a candidate said a lot of things in terms of how hillary clinton
12:24 pm
handled classified documents, for instance. certainly in terms of the investigation into her server and other things, the fact that they were taking the fifth amendment are now coming forward. his own people, his own allies are doing much of the same stuff. so it's hard to see how he threats that needle to make sense of his kind of previous statements and where things stand today. >> shepard: he hasn't had a need to do that in the past. >> he has not chosen to do that. so far it doesn't appear that his porters and voters have been impacted be i think or not. you have to believe if this is a month-long, year-long special prosecutor involved investigation, at some point he will want to address the fact that he was so critical of hillary clinton and some of these other folks in terms of what michael flynn and some of his other associates are doing. >> shepard: it's never been widely thought that general flynn was a target here. it's more that he might have
12:25 pm
information that might lead to someone else, right? >> i think he's one of the people that has been mentioned the last several weeks of what contacts he had himself. paul manafort is another associate of trump, former campaign manager whose name has come up in the reporting about who was talking to russian officials and when. so far i think the real question will be where does the special prosecutor in that investigation actually go? some of these hearings will be more potentially window dressing. you'll have a lot of senators asking questions. the real question will be, what can james comey actually respond to? is this similar to sally yates where she didn't give a lot of information because she obvious would cite privilege or the fact that it was classified. >> shepard: again, nbc reporting paul manafort and roger stone have turned over documents. if true what is the significance? >> right now there's just a lot
12:26 pm
of investigation going into who might know what when. i don't know that anybody can say this person is now the target of the investigation. roger stone is where it ends. that's probably not the case. seems like this is an investigation that's been going on methodically. so i wouldn't say this is the end. this is probably part of the process that they're going through to figure out what exactly happened. >> shepard: anna palmer from politco. thanks. >> thank you. >> shepard: and north korea threatening to mass produce a new type of missile. one that it claims can hit american military bases. we're live at the bottom of the hour and the top of the news.

>> shepard: a battle between good and evil. that's how president described his battle with terrorism over the weekend. he did not describe it as a battle between the west and islam. president trump called on middle east leaders to confront the crisis of islamic extremism. >> this is not a battle between different faiths, different sexes or different civilizations. this is a battle between barbaric criminals that seek to obliterate human life and decent people all in the name of religion? president trump referred to islam as one of the world's great faiths. a different tone entirely from during the campaign when he said islam hates us. the president did not mentioned his temporary ban on visitors from some predominantly muslim countries. it's been widely called a muslim
12:33 pm
ban. the president's administration is appealing court rulings that block the travel ban. now to john bussey from the "wall street journal." new language. >> new language. you're going to the mideast. you're going to make some people happy and some not. you pointed out the difference between his language in the mideast and the language used on the campaign trail. this visit was primarily intended to show donald trump as a world leader and to bolster relations with arab allies in the mideast. you can say he has accomplished on both sides of that. it also was a bit of a distraction from his domestic problems. he's accomplished there as well. at the same time, some people will be happy, some people not happy. some supporters saying he's getting too comfortable with islam, some of his more strident followers. also, he's aligning himself with very strong comfortabling
12:34 pm
language toward the saudis. that is going to upset their sunni second -- sect of islam. no matter what he does, there's some tension. but all and all, he accompl set. >> shepard: there's a lot to be done. he brought up israel with the russians discussion out of nowhere as sort of a side track that really did not serve him well. according to his supporters, his de tractors. >> yes, this is a long trip. the visit with the pope and nato as well. that was a bit odd. that will be parsed now over several days. reinjecting the whole domestic dispute over his behavior into what was a fairy smooth foreign visit at the time. even in israel, there was a kind of a show of american independence that benjamin
12:35 pm
netanyahu wanted to go with him to the waling wall to show israel's kind of control of that environment. disputed territory still. the u.s. said no, president trump is going to go on his own as a show of respect and kind of independent of israel. that got the israelis concerned even though he's been there and has been showing a great deal of respect for and connection to the israeli government. so each step of the way is fraught. so far the u.s. is navigating it well. >> shepard: i'm sure there's plenty of americans that don't follow the intricacy of israeli politics. just going there was quite a thing for a u.s. to do. had he gone with benjamin netanyahu, that would have been a whole thing. >> too much. >> and seen by the world as taking sides. >> yes.
12:36 pm
other arabs feel it's their territory. it was occupied by the israelis. you're right. a better way of putting it. even going there was a show of respect and a show of u.s. independence in the mideast by donald trump. >> shepard: what is his biggest challenge? president trump's biggest challenge, maybe his biggest goal the next few days as the trip continues? >> i think the -- you raised expectations now that you're looking for a peace acourt as have presidents before you. boy, has that been a difficult slog for any number:administrations. when he gets to nato, he has to assure that he's behind nato and the rhetoric of the campaign has to be incorporated you have to pay your own way. that can be incorporated into a convincing statement by the united states that we're behind our nato allies and will stand behind our commitments. >> shepard: john bussey, thank
12:37 pm
you. >> pleasure. >> shepard: north korean officials say they're ready to quickly make a bunch of new missiles that could reach u.s. military bases. officials say their latest test was an answer to president trump's policies. south korean officials say yesterday's message flew about 300 miles before crashing into the sea of japan. last weekend, north korea successfully tested a new type of missile, one that officials say could carry a nuclear warhead. secretary of state rex tillerson told chris wallace on fox news sunday that the recent tests are disturbing but he thinks kim jong-un might start feeling pressure from the united states. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon this afternoon. what is different about this latest test, jen? >> what made this launch different, they used solid, not liquid fuel, which makes it more mobile and hard to detect. the second ballistic missile tested in a week. the u.s. pacific command tracked the launch saturday night.
12:38 pm
the launch involved a medium range kn-15 ballistic missile. reached a height of 347 miles before landing in the sea of japan. this comes a week after the korean launched a missile that got the pentagon's attention because it flew 1,000 miles higher than nasa's international space station. >> i think we're early in the game putting pressure on them. one can interpret that they're acting out now in response to the pressure that they're beginning to feel. >> the u.s. has sent a second aircraft carrier to the region and has said that china is putting pressure but it's hard to say what effect it's having. >> shepard: timing is a thing with the north koreans. what do we make of this? >> experts say north korea's leader is trying to get president trump associate tension hoping to restart bilateral talks. just friday jim mattis had
12:39 pm
played a helpful role deterring kim jong-un in carrying out a nuclear test. but north korean's representatives friday said the test were to punish the trump administration for its anti-china policy. >> the united states should keep in mind that our strike capability was developed out of rapidly high speed. as long as the united states insists their china policy, blackmail. >> defense secretary mattis warned friday that if the north korean situation requires a military solution, it will be tragic on an unbelievable scale, shep. >> shepard: thanks, jen. turkish diplomats are accusing police in washington d.c. of being aggressive even though turkish body guards beat up peace ful protesters.
12:40 pm
the same day, turkey's president met with president trump. the police chief said it was a brutal attack on peaceful protesters. now turkish diplomats are blaming u.s. law enforcement for lapses in security. they claim the protest was unpermitted and provocative. some u.s. lawmakers have called for the u.s. to act here. that includes john mccain that told chris wallace that the turkish ambassador should be thrown out of the country. >> those were his people that were sent out there. that is not america. it's not allowed in the united states of america. peaceful demonstrators being beaten up? chris, that is just flat out wrong. >> shepard: more like turkey. we reached out to d.c. police for reaction to turkey's accusations. a spokeswoman would not comment and said the investigation remains active. rich edson is at the state department. turkey called in the u.s.
12:41 pm
ambassador this morning. is that right? >> that's right. the turkish government says they want a full investigation and an explanation as to what happened a couple weeks ago when the turkish president visited the united states. in a statement the ministry of foreign affairs says "it was emphasised that the lapses of security during our president's stay in washington is caused by the inability of u.s. forces to take sufficient precautions will not overshadow what in every other aspect was a very successful and important visit." washington d.c. police say they're still investigating this, shep. >> shepard: what are we hearing from the statement department? >> the state department was the first to raise concerns about this, especially after video surfaced of the turkish president erdogan watched the
12:42 pm
assualt. the state department says the conduct of turkey's security was deeply disturbing. the state department raised concerns at the highest level. the secretary of state spoke about the status of the protest. >> we did call the ambassador of turkey into the state department to discuss what occurred with them and express our view that is -- this sun acceptable. there's an investigation going on and we'll see the outcome of that. we've expressed our dismay. >> which this has happened in washington d.c. before. last year, erdogan's security detail got into a fight at the brookings institute. >> shepard: thanks, rich. democrats and republicans are criticizing president trump's budget plan before he even releases it. what we're learning now about the cuts the president is planning to make to keep his
12:46 pm
>> shepard: president trump is set to release his budget plan tomorrow. we're already getting a preview and seems not much anybody is happy about it. white house officials say they will make cuts to government assistance like after school programs and food stamps. the congressional budget office says 10 million people would lose medicaid benefits the next decades. lawmakers are concerned about the cuts to medicaid. the white house says it's needed to help balance the budget in ten years. adam shapiro is live with more. >> when we talk, shep, about cuts to medicaid, remember that the affordable healthcare act that congress passed a few weeks ago would save about $800 billion over ten years. so it's a crucial part of any budget proposal that the trump
12:47 pm
administration puts forward. this will all be rolled out officially tomorrow morning when mick mulvaney takes this to the hill. look a what has happened in the past. we always had administrations promise to try to balance the budget and restrain spending. in 2016, the budget was $3.8 trillion with a deficit of $585 billion. in 2017, $4 trillion with a deficit of $603 billion. so the trump administration has to adhere to the president's promises to restrain government spending. how they do that? we'll find out in a few hours, won't we? >> not likely to take effect in this form, this budget, right? >> one way you could ask this, will the republicans in the senate buy into any kind of cut to medicaid that might total as much as $800 billion over ten years when they have already said publicly that is a
12:48 pm
nonstarter. so this budget in some opinions, if it includes that $800 billion from the affordable healthcare act, may not get very far on the hill. >> shepard: adam shapiro, thanks very much. the supreme court ruling that republicans lawmakers in north carolina drew two congressional districts based largely on race. that upholds a lower court's decision that orders lawmakers to draw them again. these are north carolina's first and 12th districts. the judges said republicans were trying to contain black voters to certain areas. officials in north carolina said they were trying to preserve black majorities. democrats currently hold both of those districts. justice clarence thomas joined the liberals in the 5-3 vote. judge gorsuch did not take part. the judges heard arguments before he joined the court. president trump travels in an
