mr netanyahu is in a big mess right now.st had his seventh interview with antifraud investigators, under caution. he may well be facing charges on two different matters of alleged scandal in the next few weeks. your timing was quite deliberate, wasn't it? you, it seems, believe the netanyahu era, as you put it, may well be coming to an end pretty soon? no, i don't answer. no, i don't think so. i know mr netanyahu very well, for over 12 years now. he has got strengths, he's got weaknesses, but he's not corrupt. he cares profoundly about israel, works very hard for israel, and while we have our disagreements, i think the prime minister is doing a good job. he cares about israel and i'm here to support him. it is not supportive, though, is it, announcing you want to be israel's next prime minister, when you know tens of thousands of israelis are taking to the streets every saturday night in tel aviv, demanding that he go. you're simply adding two sm is that an end is coming quite soon for mr netanyahu. no, i don't think so. and

mr netanyahu is in a mess right now.ust had his seventh interview with antifraud investigators under caution. he may well be facing charges on two different matters of alleged scandal in the next few weeks. your timing was quite deliberate, wasn't it, you, it seems, believe the netanyahu era as you put it may well be coming to an end pretty soon. no, i don't answer. i know mr netanyahu very well, for over 12 years now. he has got strengths, he has got weaknesses, but he is not corrupt. pique is profoundly about israel, works very hard for israel and why we have disagreements, i think the prime minister is doing a good job —— he cares. he cares about israel andi —— he cares. he cares about israel and i am here to support him. —— he cares. he cares about israel and i am here to support himm —— he cares. he cares about israel and i am here to support him. it is not supportive, though, is it, announcing you want to be israel's next prime minister when you know tens of thousands of israelis are taking to the streets every sat

well that's exactly i mean that's absolutely a nonstarter for the palestinians and mr netanyahu was a bit in the same like what mr trump said when he recognized him as to capital of saying that they have to accept the realities would say was the reality is we are here as well and we want to see east jerusalem as to capital of a few to a palestinian state and i think also mr micromanaged quite was quite clear on that that from supposes the recognition by mr trump as a whole the city. is but he also urged again mr netanyahu to make steps towards to palestinians for example a freeze of settlements something of that sort so there was a very clear message from one of the european leaders and he was the first to meet mr netanyahu after the statement to push for peace but that they can't except that to some unknowns the capital of israel well yes this is and now his first trip to europe says trump's controversial announcement what do you think is natanya his mission on this trip. well you have to know this trip was planned some time ago actually before this diplomatic crisis erupted over thi

for the protesters the allegations are so serious the only recourse is for netanyahu to resign. we have a corrupt government that needs to be brought down as quickly as possible netanyahu at its head and all of his cronies along with him. and i think the time has come to change the government the government is corrupt we're sick of the corruption. the israeli prime minister denies the accusations and says he's the victim of a witch hunt netanyahu is alleged to have accepted expensive gifts from wealthy businessmen he's also being investigated for causing a deal with a newspaper publisher in return for favorable coverage. meanwhile a bill is making its way through israel's parliament if passed would change how police handle investigations supporters say the bill protects suspects rights critics see it as an effort to protect netanyahu has load would prevent police from making public its findings in the two investigations involving netanyahu. the demonstration in tel aviv was the largest of its kind but netanyahu says he will not give in to the pressure he says nothing will come o

issue so we expected netanyahu to come to paris and also to meet with the e.u. foreign ministers to talk about mainly iran the iranian presence also in syria because a lot of changes here in the region and to talk with them about the nuclear deal and now of course the focus here is on jerusalem and you could expect that the meeting with especially with the foreign ministers he's going to meet on monday he will have breakfast with them in brussels will be sort of tense because before mr netanyahu left for europe he said he actually accused the e.u. leaders to be hypocrites to have a double standard but just criticizing the recognition of to resign mess to capital of israel and not criticizing dockets coming out of gaza so it will be interesting to say what the european leaders have to say to that and also to hear from them what kind of role are they going to take on in this whole process our id dudley's correspondent tanya kramer bringing us up to date from jerusalem many thanks indeed . trump's announcement on jerusalem has been followed by days of protests and

let's bring in our correspondent my fader in jerusalem why are we just saw netanyahu leaving for paris there what is he hoping to achieve. well in brussels he is going to not be met with a very friendly room we've seen a lot of these foreign leaders come out and condemn this move by the trump administration something that netanyahu very much supports netanyahu has never had much of a friendly reception in europe considering that most of these leaders very much favor a two state solution which is something that the netanyahu administration has always been sort of tepid on willing to back away from it has always seemed and really he's coming in and he sees himself as the crusader for the israeli cause the recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital is something that he's fought for for a long time and something that he's been hoping for despite the peace negotiations that have always said drusilla was going to be divided between israel and a future palestinian state so what he's hopefully going what he's going to want to do is convince some european leaders over to his side to see th

and federica mogherini made this meeting where netanyahu invited himself.hey asked for ab--mahmoud abbas -- the problem is, in rebuffing and pushing back netanyahu, the europeans do not have a plan. they have to come up with a new initiative. brent: that's a big question. if you not have the united th as t --united states as the piece broker -- peace broker in the middle east, can the european union fill the shoes of washington? correspondent: they have taken their eyes off the ball, especially in the obama years. they thought he would take care of it and now the peace process has completely stalled. they have to start from scratch because the initiatives and the european support from the past we have seen and look far back as the oslo agreement, that was ever 20 years ago, have not brought about the big turnaround. you look at the french president, he's the only one who has the drive to take up the initiative and try something again. there is nobody home in berlin at the moment so for the next months, it can only be talked about. brent: barbara, is always,

israeli promise of binyamin netanyahu is in brussels meeting e.u. foreign ministers this comes against the backdrop of international protests over the u.s. decision to recognize twosome as the capital is red netanyahu says european governments should follow the u.s. and move the embassies from tel aviv to jerusalem but the e.u. has condemned the u.s. decision and is expected to put pressure on the israeli leader to do more to revive the peace process here's some of what netanyahu and the e.u. foreign policy chief fredricka had to say you know where the european union stands we believe. that the only realistic solution to the conflicts between israel and palestine is based on two states which are as the capital of both the state of israel and the state of palestine along the sixty seven line this is our considered position i believe that all or most of the european countries the embassies to jerusalem record does crucial mrs rose or a couple and encourage robustly with us for security prosperity. and peace. let's ahead of a two russes and bureau chie

netanyahu dug in against the criticism. it's always been our capital jerusalem has never been the capital of any other people i think the sooner the problem students come to grips with this reality the sooner we will move towards peace and this is why i think president trumps announcement was so good storch and so important for peace. but that peace is unlikely in the coven thomas fear. is outside the u.s. embassy in beirut a sign of a rage against u.s. president donald trump seems not to suggest it won't be easy to defuse the now global outrage netanyahu is next stop is bristles when he'll meet with phone ministers from the european union. more on this story now with our correspondents on the ground maya schwager is in jerusalem. is in brussels good morning to both of you max let's start with you in brussels many leaders there opposed to trump's move recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital so what do you foreign ministers want to get from benjamin netanyahu i think the foreign ministers don't expect to get much of that a

the occupied west bank and gaza calling for three days of rage israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu hailed the announcement his as a historic landmark and are just other countries to follow suit john made the controversial decision at the white house in the past hour today we finally acknowledge the obvious that jerusalem is israel's capital this is nothing more or less than a recognition of reality it is also the right thing to do it's something that has to be done that is why consistent with the jerusalem embassy act i am also directing the state department to begin preparations to move the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. this will immediately begin the process of hiring architects engineers and planners so there is a new embassy when completed will be a magnificent tribute to peace in making these announcements i also want to make one point very clear this decision is not intended in any way to reflect a departure from our strong commitment to facilitate a lasting peace agreement we want an agreement that is a great deal for the israelis and a great deal for the pale

president donald trump the reply netanyahu received was clear and unanimous. we like that we do little to agree with you know. and i'm my ass waiter in jerusalem the e.u. has condemned u.s. president outruns declaration that jerusalem is the israeli capital but israel is betting that many european countries are about to follow in america's footsteps. and we begin the day with a would be suicide bombers botched terror attack in new york city and that is how police are describing the explosion that rocked the city's port authority bus terminal during the morning commute for people suffered burn wounds including the suspect a twenty seven year old man from brooklyn believes say he detonated a pipe bomb attached to his body and what his motive was or who his target was or whether or not he acted alone we do not know tonight no group has claimed responsibility either police say the suspect made statements just before the blast whether those statements were about isis or about donald trump's controversial decision on jerusalem police are not saying anything. many ne

indeed and the the atmosphere depends on which side of the divide you fall certainly for benjamin netanyahu is key coalition allies that the right wing are as you've been speaking at a political event earlier today they've been welcoming it saying that the united states should be the first of many to do this saying that it's part of the recognition of israel to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital where we were in occupied east jerusalem of course the sit the feeling was very different there was a sense of foreboding even incredulity that this was about to happen. for palestinians living in occupied east jerusalem the sudden arrival of winter on wednesday matched the news that the us president was set to recognize the city as israel's capital. this is an insane move that will inflame the whole region because he's attacking all of our values our sacred places and our humanity and jerusalem according to un resolutions is the capital of two states if he does this today he will destroy the peace process that america is sponsoring while some of his colleagues have been publicly welcoming the

to negotiate with the palestinians and called trump's move a dangerous threat to peace netanyahu dug in against the criticism it's always been a couple in jerusalem it's never been the couple of any other people so i think the sooner the problem students come to grips with this reality the sooner we will move towards peace and this is why i think president. stork and so important for peace. that peace is unlikely in the current atmosphere as palestinians continue to march in gaza and the west bank violent scenes like this in bethlehem suggest it won't be easy to diffuse their outrage. and his meeting with friends. president macron israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu also said this into the palestinians except jerusalem was israel's capital the center there would be peace i asked our correspondent in jerusalem tanya kramer how anetta now how. intends to make that work that is really a good question because that is really a nonstarter for the palestinians they're saying well we are also a reality here and they want of course to see. for lay to be the capital of their future state

manner in which netanyahu and his allies are now trying to subvert democracy. is this public pressure enough to force the government to withdraw this trough then and to back off from it. it may indeed have the intended impact because netanyahu and his party control only you thirty seats in the one hundred twenty seat knesset which means that they need another thirty plus seats of various partners in order to rule some of these calls. now bowing to public pressure drove support from this legislation in which case it will not pass and we have already found out this morning that indeed the reason to be late one week now de de heyst in the legislature was because the police is supposed to meet their accommodations any day now and what i wanted to do was to have this bill and act again to low before the police comes ahead and apparently he is now losing the race against the police will have to wait and see what happens next to see whether mr netanyahu can get any public back on side after what i'm going television last night but for now that i may or and senior corr

president donald trump netanyahu met e.u. foreign ministers in brussels on monday the israeli leader was also expected to open the issue of the iran nuclear deal most members have expressed over donald trump's decision on jerusalem you leaders say they want netanyahu to resume meaningful negotiations with palestinians. we believe. that the only realistic solution to the conflicts between israel and palestine is based on two states which are as the capital of both the state of israel and the state of palestine along the sixty seven line this is our considered position and we were continued to respect international consensus on jerusalem until the final status of the oldest city is resolved to diet negotiation between the parties and we hope that the part is kind of gauge in many for direct negotiations with the support of the international community this is why the european union will increase its work together with our international friends and foreigners but also with their friends and partners in the region starting from eg

by minister netanyahu allies the thing from the ministers themselves that the risk e.u. unity on this that the only realistic solution to the conflict between israel and palestine is based on two states with children as the capital of both the state of israel and the state of palestine from decision on jerusalem is clearly continuing to stir up trouble especially as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu comes now to visit europe first for talks with the french president mccaul as well as for talks with his e.u. colleagues perspex ific lee e.u. foreign policy chief morgan really as well as european foreign ministers now he was matched by protesters in belgium and france netanyahu expected it seems his european counterparts to follow in trump's footsteps he did expect some kind of support when it comes to this issue even having thrown around the word hypocrisy but we have seen that the e.u. foreign policy chief more greeny has basically indicated that netanyahu should hold his horses when it comes to the issue of jerusalem saying that quote here he should keep his expe

foreign policy chief among greeny has basically indicated that netanyahu should hold his horses when it comes to the issue of jerusalem saying that quote here he should keep his expectations for others we've seen quite a similar story unravel in paris with the french president michael ware. and this one you know who did talk about peace however it was quite clear that their vision of the path towards this peace is completely different it's always been our capital jerusalem has never been the couple of any other people so i think the sooner the problem students come to grips with this reality the sooner we will move towards peace and this is why i think president from samoa was stored and so important for peace and i expressed to prime minister netanyahu my disappointment of the u.s. president's declaration and explained the france sees it as a contrary to international law and as dangerous for peace because it doesn't seem so sure because of security for israel and for the israelis themselves to be clear netanyahu has not really received a lot of support on this issue from other lead

more important than the palestinian issue for now and i think that now that netanyahu was able to get his alliance with the saudi arabia and with the other arab countries he probably felt that timing that this was good timing just to implement this aspect of what he's been looking for for quite some time and president trump who campaigned for this. during the campaign has decided to implement. as i understand the again i think again sorry go ahead mike. i was there say i think the u.s. policy toward middle east right now is completely being guided by netanyahu the been direct threats against u.s. soldiers in iraq coming from shia militias that was that was an immediate response to some speculation i mean that just threats at this stage i think there will be confrontation though in reality. ultimately there might be some skirmishes but i'm looking i'm looking at the reactions on the streets in lebanon for example. they talk about it i mean there are twelve palestinian official twelve palestinian camps in lebanon and they're not uprising and even though i think can print solomon wanted

very different sides of the coin take a listen to what they said she i expressed to prime minister netanyahu my disappointment of the u.s. president's declaration and explained that france sees it as a contrary to international law and is dangerous for peace because it doesn't see. the cause of security for israel and for the israelis themselves it's always been our commission has never been the capital of any other people so i think the sooner the palestinians come to grips with this reality the sooner you will move towards peace and this is why i think president trying. to start and important for peace president actually criticized that decision by donald trump and he's not the only leader made big criticisms of that decision to say that jerusalem is the capital of israel we also heard from the british prime minister theresa may she disagrees with that decision she also described it as being helpful meanwhile the german foreign minister said that he believes that it feels confrontation in the area now when doing netanyahu the israeli prime minister says that he respects you but he isn't pr
