process. the opening of the embassy went ahead as church world despite the ongoing protests including right house side the gates of the new compound here though is a quick look at why jerusalem is such a contested city. jerusalem is a city that's been a point of contention for nearly a thousand years ever since the first crusaders arrived to drive the muslim population away for nearly two centuries the area was governed by christian congress under the name of the kingdom of jerusalem but the end of the thirteenth
10:23 am
century had been a crusade well he landed up under muslim control with so much turbulent religious history today the area holds significance for christians jews and muslims alike all regard different parts of the old city to be their only sides and since the formation of the state of israel in one hundred forty eight israel considers jerusalem to be its capital the subsequent conflict with the arab neighbors so israel captured and annex the entire city of jerusalem the move has never been recognized by the united nations stands firm on the idea of establishing the two state solution where israel and palestine exist independently so by president trump announcing moving the embassy to jerusalem he's on the line that the u.s. recognizes the holy city to be the capital of israel for the international community that goes against the notion that any change in the city status should come through negotiations a not a unilateral action. angry crowd has gathered there protesting against the embassy
10:24 am
meet the needs mainly for trying to keep the crowd. why you have. i'm here to oppose the surge and by the u.s. administration to relocate their embassy in the heart of the contested city in the heart of the did it for thirty to forty percent of its residents are living under occupation that are not that is the that is their denied basic rights i mean the god that's left reykjavik they asked for it she was against the occupation we're here because we oppose transcendence in this we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and if it is not a game. the. was. was. meant to be anybody parliamentarian what do you what do you thing. about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been licensed by there's been a police but immediately after we arrived they attacked us attacked a member of the knesset just because we had it been through the past and then
10:25 am
forgot and then they attacked us and pushed us to the back we are here to see that jerusalem east is ok if i did it today it could be the capital of the state of palestine the tensions are definitely running high here as you can see these scuffles and clashes and we're being pushed forward and. a lot of anger. on what happened let up in fact right out the heart of the firefight up to me don't doubt it but they're sure it is pretty well i don't know what it. was all of this coming as the embassy just across the road is opening so while the mood is witnessing crum pictures of a historic occasion are featured we see them in the city opening just across the road are these kind of scenes i'm searching where there's a lot of anger and out of frustration and a lot of disappointment that the american government when talking with this news of

the israeli army has commented on his handling of the protests and system that they followed standard procedures while acting in self-defense against palestinian protesters it also says it used to live rounds in a selective mana we all saw guests for their views on the embassy move. all the yearly miserable some people around us want us to expose korans to those who declare that they want to kill us who declare that they want to get into israel by movie by clutching called by a guy falls poorer than they are just you know a lot of the regional high limit. the what exactly i. have not heard or on a sunday or later in that has only two for for eleven years your start up always what policy has brought to the world you tell me you have anything resides raising children and. a lot of n.r.a.

anything jews are now a small minority and that population and the more of a minority they become the more undemocratic. and racist israel becomes there are zero israeli injuries zero israeli casualties over two thousand palestinians injured over fifty seven palestinians killed including l.o.l. how sorry how magic. what do all of these protests are monsters not my favorite organization hamas is a political impact grow up rube which has completely failed to exploit israel's gross gross contradictions and to use them against. this increasingly raissa state i have something to tell you
10:28 am
we want to stop the policy and state in the future the two state solution is the international solution it's not the palestinian solution alone i do believe still that there is a chance for this solution but it will take courage and it will take resolve from the international community to step up some. of america's traditional allies have moved to condemn its decision to relook at the embassy calling it a breach of international law and saying that it inflames an already tense situation where some of that criticism was voiced in the motion c. section of the u.n. security council on tuesday the u.s. representative insisted that the embassy move did not undermine the peace process it has no bearing on jerusalem's holy sites it does not prejudge whatever the parties might negotiate and a peace agreement does not under mind the prospects for peace in any way and yet for some this is supposedly
10:29 am
a cause for violence the un human rights council on wednesday voted to launch an international probe into the mass deaths of palestinians on the israeli gaza border and washington condemned the resolution but the u.s. envoy suggesting the international organization has more important issues to deal with however as our teaser caleb maupin explains nikki haley's accusations may turn out to be a double edged sword. the day that the american embassy was officially moved to jerusalem it was a day of great jubilation for american and israeli officials. remember this moment. but across the palestinian territories it couldn't have been more different in beleaguered gaza there was nothing but suffering and chaos our greatest hope is for peace the united states is prepared to support peace negotiations united states is prepared to support a peace agreement in every way that we can and i don't think it hurts the peace

plan. the peace plan will be introduced at the appropriate time there was certainly not any criticism of any of israel's extreme use of force by anyone in the trumpet ministration hamas terrorist backed by iran have incited attacks against israeli security forces and infrastructure so israel is not responsible for shooting mostly peaceful palestinian protesters some of whom were just children shot down by their own soldiers but if you're a place israel with syria suddenly nikki haley's heart bleeds for the dead in far less clear cut situations. yesterday morning. we awoke to pictures to children being carried in the arms of desperate parents yes all the talk about human rights does not apply to palestinian protesters they do not get america's support because they're not proto.
