i remember distinctly remembering that this was the wall that separated the east and west jerusalem. and this was no man's land here. >> my family lived in jerusalem for centuries. in 1948 the state was pounded, and for the palestinians this time was called the catastrophe. like many palestinians, my father and his entire family were pushed out of their ancestral home. they moved to a small apartment in east jerusalem because the city was divided into aa jewish and an arab city. and in 1967, the six-day war happened when the israelis invaded jerurusalem anand conqu it. we have lived under the israeli occupation ever since, always longing to go back to our ancestral homes. >> and my father's story that we left the home that he was born in and his father, etc., always was with us. >> whenever i walk here i feel as though i'm walking with a shiver in my body. like i feel at home. they used to have the stables down there. and actually, this is my father's room right there. for threes three years i would say easily 50-year-old trees. because my father, when he came here, he said he remembe

a major hollywood producer that is following this developing story and joins us now live from west jerusalem we see a very defiant reaction from prime minister benjamin netanyahu he is adamant that the recommendations the police recommendations against him will end with nothing he says. that's right i think and i'm sort of us but we should start with just one quick corrective it's not tens of billions of dollars that would be an enormously huge corruption case it's more like tens of thousands of dollars perhaps more than one hundred thousands of one hundred thousand dollars in the form of gifts of cigars and champagne this is in case one thousand a case which according to the leaks that came from the investigation jury in its course they suggested that sorry netanyahu and benjamin netanyahu when they were running low on these sorts of stocks they would ask their wealthy benefactors to send more and that is one of the things that benjamin netanyahu has rejected he hasn't rejected the idea of being given gifts by these men he says that this is natural in the case in the course of long and deep

the key developments that are taking place in west jerusalem all two meetings the cabinet meeting which is a regularly scheduled weekly meeting that's likely to concentrate on the political strategy that israel will come up with now publicly they're blaming iran for all of this they say the iranian role in syria is dangerous to israeli interests and they've been really ratcheting up the tension since the summer say that iran is the problem they've also sent a letter to the united nations security council telling them that it needs to publicly condemn the iranian role within syria then.

it's going to hairy forces in west jerusalem what is the situation. well as you say those the most recent development is the discovery of those two bodies what the medical sources in gaza the minimal of the health ministry in gaza is saying is that they were two seventeen year olds who were discovered east of rafa down in the south of the gaza strip near the egyptian border also presumably close to the israeli border if it was east of the town of rougher the medical sources yesterday night were saying that the israeli tank had attacked a gathering of people in that area israeli media reports suggesting that four people had actually tried to breach the border fence and were fired on by tank fire two people reported injured in that this would account for the other two if there were two bodies discovered two seventeen year olds as you say this latest round of back and forth across the border started with the explosion on the border involving four israeli troops two of those seriously injured two of them moderately injured there are reports that they were

appropriately or so my wishes for a quick recovery to the wounded are a force that has the latest from west jerusalem. well the health ministry in gaza has confirmed the discovery of two bodies east of rafa to seventeen year olds who were killed in a tank fire it seems late on saturday night they had already said the gazan health ministry that two had been injured in that incident what they described as a gathering of people east of rougher down in the south of the gaza strip the israeli media reported that the group had been trying to breach the border fence and that is when the tank fire started israeli military is also saying that its strikes in response to an explosion on the border fence which seriously wounded two israeli soldiers moderately wounded two others that that response that amounted not to six targets being struck but eighteen six was the initial number it's now been revised up to eighteen those targets they say including a tunnel that was being dug towards israeli territory military compounds a weapons manufacturing site of some kind israel is saying that it holds hamas responsible f

appropriately i send my wishes for a quick recovery to the wounded thirty four said town small from west jerusalem. israel has carried out what it calls a large scale attack on hamas targets within gaza this is in response to what happened earlier on saturday when those an explosion seems an explosive device left at the border fence two israeli soldiers seriously wounded two more moderately wounded in that explosion so israel responding with targeted strikes it said on six separate hamas targets within gaza shooting at them from the air. and a tunnel which they said was being dug towards israeli territory two military compounds within those six targets in total there was also a rocket fired out of gaza which struck a civilian home it israel no injuries reported from there but there were injuries reported by the gazan health ministry shortly thereafter a report from tank fire incoming east of rafa down in the south of the gaza strip the israeli media reporting that four palestinians were trying to breach the border fence and were fired on by the israeli military the gazan health ministry saying two

ravi will join us live from the iranian capital tehran but first let's cross to him and khan in west jerusalem imran so what do we expect to see out of israel today. well what we expect to see all two very significant meetings now one of them is actually a scheduled meeting is the meeting of the cabinets but the focus clearly will be on what to do about the situation in syria and likely to try and get of sw very strong message to the russians about the iranian involvement with in syria often that we're likely to see a security cabinet meeting now that's going to be also very crucial because that's will decide the strategy what to do next now all sides are trying to avoid a massive escalation all of this conflict we spoke to the israeli army in the last hour we also them what was going on with the operation how many targets inside syria but they hit they declined to comment however lots of people on social media form a soldiers form of senior military officials are saying that this is the largest operation to get syrian air defense targets since the lebanon war in one thousand nine hundred eigh

put the dangers of a largescale cross border conflict into sharp focus very force at al-jazeera west jerusalem. well in all the developments at least six civilians have been killed in government as strikes near the syrian capital damascus two children are among the dead the attacks targeted several towns in the rebel held suburb of eastern ghouta falls within deescalation zones indorsed by turkey russia and iran. all the united nations is calling for an immediate pause in fighting in syria to address a western humanitarian crisis according to its food agency nine million people need food assistance kern is the country director for syria for the world food program he says any truce needs to last for at least a month at the moment thought keeps us from going to these places to ease cool to eat live to flee in the fighting the security of our staff of cause is of utmost importance but also there is c.p. and it's dangerous too to come out in and collect for example food if there is fighting going on so we need a pause in the fighting and what we have asked for the months. we already have their hou

and harry is joining us live from west jerusalem now how is this playing out harry has the effect of support for the prime minister so far. well i mean those who were against him and had been concerned about this corruption scandal for a long time of this lee have a lot more ammunition his supporters in his own party in the could are largely lining up behind him the question to a large extent is how his how his coalition allies will respond so far we haven't heard much from the education minister the leader of the jewish home party natale bennett one very senior partner of the finest minister moshe karl on has given what i think is is relatively firm support although not exactly. if you sieve the times of israel reporting that he says it's now up to the attorney general mandelbrot to make his decision and that that should be the next step in all this the media more generally does play on that point you heard from that commentator from the times of israel the idea that this is also petty and unnecessary a lot of the but the financial dealings of netanyahu alleged in this recommendatio

let's talk to him in qana joins me live now from west jerusalem what's been the reaction so far inside israel to reports of the f. sixteen coming down. well the israelis a very squarely blamed the run ins for all of the aggression taking place over that area what they've said on this social media account by the israeli army is that the i.d.f. has targeted the iranian control systems in syria sent the u.a.b. into israeli s. place massive syrian and fire one f. sixteen crashed in israel pilots are safe iran is responsible for this their violation of israel use of serenity event more to follow the reason they're blaming iran for all of this is because they feel squarely that iran is behind all of the aggression when it comes to. president bashar al assad's actions within syria they say that iran is the power behind the throne particular when it comes to the support of the lebanese group hezbollah so there is that side of this the happening right now this is very easy for the israelis to do that very well equipped to blame iran for anything that happens in syria what's of more concern to t

to an all out conflict with israel a train but many thanks indeed but it's better to live in west jerusalem will miss stuff about guti is secretary general of the palestinian national initiative and a former palestinian information minister he says that international pressure needs to be put on israel to end the violence. the only resolution is to end occupation the only resolution is to end the system of apartheid and allow palestinians to finally be free let me remind you that during the last three months since mr brown declared his head orderable position about jerusalem we had peaceful demonstrations taking place in the west bank and gaza but these peaceful demonstrations were met with severe israeli violence no less than twelve people have been killed in gaza by israeli soldiers who were shooting at them while they were peacefully demonstrating the same happened in the west bank we lost also more than twenty people so far with the israeli military gunfire and more than five thousand people have been injured during peaceful demonstrations so israel is attack and peaceful demonstrations

major hollywood producer larry force it is following this developing story joins us live now from west jerusalem and howie what more can you tell us about the police recommendations. well but even a hero as you say is saying as he has throughout the swirling scandal around him for the last year or so that he is innocent and that they will be proven to be nothing because there is nothing he's even talking about standing for the next election saying that this will not be swayed by what has happened this evening but they are dramatic developments this recommendation as suggested in case one thousand which surrounds those lavish gifts given by billionaires. the israeli born hollywood mogul and the australian billionaire james packer the leaks during investigations suggest that netanyahu and his wife sarra would issue requests for stocking up of cigars and cigars and champagne from these men the suggestion is in this recommendation that in return netanyahu offered to support legislation which would have allowed to repatriate to israel without big financial penalty that might otherwise have taken plac

including a major hollywood producer are a force that is following the story joins us now from west jerusalem and so we have here the official recommendation from the police that nessun yahoo be indicted on these charges what happens next terry. well what happens next is a few things the playing out of this politically how the israeli electorate will react how benjamin and no zone coalition partners were react perhaps most crucially how the attorney general will react it's up to him now to take account of these recommendations and decide whether or not to indict israel sitting prime minister it all centers around two cases case one thousand in which netanyahu is accused of taking these gifts cigars and champagne from these two very rich men the hollywood mogul on. board in israel but now u.s. based on the australian billionaire james packer there were leaks during the course investigation which suggests that he and his wife sarah had solicited these gifts something that netanyahu denied he said that it was simply the result of long term friendships but in these documents it suggested that thi

game for twenty four years it should be stopped i let speak to al jazeera as imran khan in our west jerusalem bureau a man considering the recent moves by the trump administration you know the recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital and so on what impact is this latest decision likely to have on the ground. well what you're hearing a lot more from politicians on all sides of the palestinian factions is that the u.s. is no longer an honest peace broker that it's picked the side and it's picked the side of israel now you used to hear that kind of language in private they were very careful about the kind of words they would use in public when it came to the americans because clearly they the americans were involved in the peace process that's no longer the case that's really the key difference that's come to place since trump has taken over and since he's had this policy in place how much like you heard ghazi hamad say it's very dismissive of everything that the u.s. is doing they say that this is about us internal politics is not really anything to do with them it doesn't make any differen

continue with these operations right we're up to date then from israel with harry for that in west jerusalem let's go to teheran here is they throw the they in the iranians pretty much flat out rejecting this one. yes kemal exactly iran from the outset of the syrian conflict for the many years that it's been going on have always maintained that their forces are inside syria at the behest of the government the legitimate government that they say of president bashar assad and for the iranian leadership that is the real narrative of the story is that israel has violated syrian sovereignty that israel has violated syrian airspace and that the syrian response that we saw with the anti-aircraft fire was a long time coming that syria and iran have said that they would respond to several israeli incursions that happen in the past at the appropriate time with the appropriate measure and it seems now that they are backing up what is classically defiant and strong bold rhetoric with firepower what we're also seeing is this far is as far as the israeli assertions that an iranian drone came into its airs

then it's worth is in west jerusalem any more developments bernard since the discovery of the two bodies or jim we from the gaza side it's believed that these two young men were civilians they weren't seems affiliated to any of the fighting groups in gaza because if they would have been then one of those groups would have claimed these men as their own by now and they haven't done so it looks like they were civilians what does happen sometimes is because of the desperate employment circumstances or lack of employment in gaza sometimes young man try and cross the border fence into israel and sometimes they make it over israel is catch them and often send them back but on this occasion because it was already increased tension along that border because of this explosion earlier on that it indeed the four israeli soldiers it seems that the young man was shot and killed before they had any chance of making it over chain all right and where does this leave both sides in this. well israel hit eighteen targets overnight they say there were hamas. managed targets in gaza and it follows an explosi

out his air is how i foresee it has more from west jerusalem well as weekly cabinet meeting the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was talking about severe blows being struck by israel against both iranian and syrian forces inside syrian territory in response to this downing of an israeli fighter plane the first such incident since one nine hundred eighty two meriting as far as israel israel is concerned a very serious response to targeting twelve separate installations within syrian territory he said that it demonstrated israel retain the right to act and strike back in any way it sees fit this is despite the message coming from the russians which is that israel needs to be careful not to escalate tensions further israel not really talking about russia and its language very much targeting its are at iran and syria but israel has been trying very hard to improve relations with the russian government especially trying to coordinate on exactly how it can and intends to act inside syria in response to what benjamin netanyahu is talking about as a growing threat from iran as the syri

from billionaire benefactors including a major hollywood producer ari force that has more from west jerusalem. well benjamin netanyahu has for many months been at the center of a swirling corruption scandal but never this intensity this is the most dramatic moment so far with the recommendations coming from the israeli police that he be indicted in cases one thousand and two thousand as they're known case one thousand involves gifts of cigars and champagne given to benjamin netanyahu and his wife sarra they are according to leaks from the investigation that came out during its course or they were gifts given requested by the couple as they were running low on stocks gifts that came from the hollywood based israeli born mogul. and the astray and billionaire james packer now in the case of mr sharon the recommendation letter appears to suggest that netanyahu backed legislation in the israeli parliament the knesset which would have allowed him to repatriate to israel without large financial penalty then you know how seventy received gifts from long term friends but there was no quid pro quo and

shortly we'll cross to that as soon as it gets underway but first let's bring in bernard smith in west jerusalem ben at this seems to be contradicting reports about the two palestinians and how they died what more do you know about this incident. well we know a little bit more these reilley say the two palestinians young men were trying to cross the border from the garza side is impossible for them to say what they were trying to do but from the garza side they were simply near the border it's worth pointing out that neither of these men it seems were members of any of the fighting groups that are active in garza we know this because if any of these fighting groups members are killed in exchanges with the israelis or by the israelis and these groups will claim them as members or nobody's claim these two young men as members so to all intents and purposes they were civilians and they were near the border and they happened to be near the border at a time when the area was very tense because of this bomb explosion that had gone off further down on the border fence that had injured these israeli sol

giant investigators say there's sufficient evidence to indict netanyahu ben smith has more from west jerusalem. until now benjamin netanyahu is in a circle of friends confidants and colleagues has kept a tight circle around the prime minister if shlomo filbert gives evidence against netanyahu then this really is the first fish or the first crack in that tight circle filbert was a former head of the communications ministry he was put there by netanyahu he's been arrested along with executives from bezerk telecom the largest telecommunications company in israel and the police suspect that bezerk got regulatory favors from netanyahu is government and in return netanyahu got favorable coverage on one of the most popular news websites in israel that was controlled by a former chairman of basic so if it's prepared to say this in evidence against netanyahu then he is in serious trouble there are two other corruption allegations of corruption cases against netanyahu the police believe there's enough evidence to prosecute him on those with israel's attorney general it up to the internally general to ma
