put pressure on iran as well beyond economic sanctions are a force that joins us live now from west jerusalem so harry john bolton is in the region of the moment and very much applying the pressure on iran diplomatically that's certainly the message he's been trying to convey that the decision by the united states to pull out of the iran nuclear deal this year has had success both as you heard there in terms of restraining some of iran's military activity in the region but also he was talking in that news conference about protests across the country against the regime and of course that is very much the same kind of message that israel has long been a conveying as well in terms of its opposition to that nuclear deal and its call for further action against iran is the united states john bolton said was using a policy of maximum pressure scuse me. and that it would be calling on other countries to join us in other more firm ways however of course the european union is still very much against ending the deal and still clinging on to that deal and so. despite what he talked about in terms of arab

back to the television will go to the other with you have to pay the price a second deckers in west jerusalem for us what's the latest on the ground in gaza. well there was a lull of a couple of hours and then again now we've had an exchange we had one rocket fired out of the gaza strip towards besh air why is that significant because it's the first time since two thousand and fourteen the war that a rocket has gone that far it's about forty kilometers west east sorry east of the gaza strip we've also had as you mentioned there the al michel cultural center completely destroyed now this is a center and that populated area west of gaza it is known for you know hosting all kinds of full core events. from what we understand there were several lighter almost drone like taps on the roof this is a tactic that the army was using as well in two thousand and fourteen almost like a pre-warning sign and then warplanes completely destroying the high rise building so there's a lot of shock in gaza about that questions and i think certainly a huge show of force by these rabies it's still a huge question ma

the druze are considered loyal to the state and are simmons has the story for us live out of west jerusalem and or anything coming out of this cabinet meeting as of this hour. no there isn't and we don't expect anything anytime soon there will be some sort of indication of what's being discussed later on sunday but you can be sure that there is going to be perhaps are raised eyebrows at the scale of this demonstration when you look at it from above you can see well as tens of thousands no one's going to like you a figure of just what size it was but one distinct feature is of concern to the israeli cabinet you can be sure and that is the numbers of jews in israeli jews turning out for this demonstration as well i mean some organized by the labor left others just turning up and there were a large number of them i was there i spoke to quite a few people who just wanted to be there to demonstrate against what they see as undemocratic moves being made by the present government with this nation state law however it has to be said that the main dru's protest very large unprecedented attack called

critics say renders minority communities as second class citizens stephanie decker has more from west jerusalem. the debate happening inside the knesset inside the israeli parliament isn't going to change anything to the law today but it highlights the controversy that this law has caused debate going on inside the knesset heated debate we heard from my t.v. he's a palace soon israeli member of knesset saying that this is an apartheid move this is what m.k. said voted for he said that this is a policy that has been inherent over the years when it comes to treating the palestinian citizens of israel and others but it is now ingrained in its lord he said only by standing together jewish people and the arabs wouldn't be able to be overturned it highlights the concern not only from within here from within the citizens of israel also jews have said that this is a is a threat to what israel says is its democratic and equal basis of the establishment of the state it is also called prompted a lot of criticism when it comes to the international community and we've also seen tens of thousands of people c

the troops are considered loyal to the state correspondent andrew symonds joins us live from west jerusalem and rick good morning the reaction likely to be from the israeli cabinet meeting to these ongoing protests. well difficult to say really there is no doubt that these protests were much larger than had been expected it filled robin square and if you see the view from on high get an idea of just the scale of that and people in this demonstration were not all dreams it has to be said druse did come out in a rare or almost unprecedented demonstration however there were many israeli jews amongst the crowds young israeli jewish groups groups political groups and just people passing by and it's that factor which is going to be discussed i would think in this cabinet meeting as to the possible. extension of protest when we have a situation where there is no solution it seems to the demands of minority groups another druze don't have they have compulsory military service whereas palestinians citizens of israel have the option of not serving in the military there are two separate groupings we c

class citizens even though they also serve in the military and police under simmons as more from west jerusalem a question of. what the prime minister had to say doesn't take things further he isn't prepared to repeal the law nor will he amend it and it won't click kate that offer of the committee looking at the whole range of issues won't play kate's the objectives of the druze in particular there will be more demonstrations and parliament is being recalled the knesset will meet on wednesday to discuss this but can't vote on anything so where does this go next it will be measured perhaps by the number of israeli jews who actually get involved in these demonstrations we saw so many jewish people at that demonstration on saturday night and though the government may well be concerned about this and watching it very closely right now we have a security cabinet meeting which is looking at the gaza situation those talks to try to get along to a peace deal with house we have a u.n. special envoy in nicholai martin of has been engaged in shuttling to cairo garza and indeed israel right now there will

or for the very latest we can join our correspondent stephanie decker he's live for us in west jerusalem of course the situation is very volatile the dust has not settled. absolutely however in the last couple of hours or so it's been relatively quiet all eyes now on what happens next particularly here in israel right now from what we understand in tel aviv the prime minister is meeting with his defense minister avigdor lieberman in about four hours time from now we will have an israeli security cabinet meeting convene also at army headquarters in tel aviv it will be interesting and crucial to see what comes out of that so hail everyone we've been speaking to and this escalation as has come and gone over the last couple of weeks both sides don't want a war if you look at the amount of targets overnight one hundred eighty now the rockets fired from gaza into israel according to the army around one hundred fifty targets hit by the israeli army inside gaza but if you look at the casualty count if you look at whether israel has targeted members of hamas it hasn't done this yet also the damag

national security advisor the us john bolton and israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu in west jerusalem it's a question of the highest importance for the united states that iran never get a deliverable nuclear weapons capability it's why president trump withdrew from the wretched iran nuclear deal it's why he is really imposing economic sanctions it's why we've worked with our friends in europe to convince them of the need to take stronger steps against the iranian nuclear weapons and ballistic missile program malaysia's prime minister wants to cancel billions of dollars worth of deals with china as parts of plans to cut his country's national debt mahathir mohamad has been meeting with chinese premier league chung in beijing here's already suspended energy and rail projects that were signed by his predecessor not just for us a little bit is a toe around two hundred fifty billion dollars. also to get china to understand the problems being feast by militia day and night and all that and i believe that and we look sympathetically through it's a problem that we had to resolve and perhaps h

and she joins us from west jerusalem say stuff you've got the guns are officials saying that from their side this escalation is what we're hearing from the israelis. well they're currently meeting the senior political leadership in tel aviv in about two hours from now there will be these ready security cabinet convening in tel aviv as well in army headquarters that has the prime minister the minister of defense the chief of staff of the army and other senior official that they will be deciding how to move forward on this just referring back to that statement from hamas a spokesperson they said that they are on there and it is over the ball is now in israel's court in that they feel they have responded adequately to the killing of two members of the military wing of hamas why because the escalation really snowballed after on tuesday israel killed two members of the first of all israel said it believed its forces were targeted by sniper fire across the border in the end they said it was a mistake that it was a training exercise so it just shows you how things can escalate very quickly whe

professor at eugene confident of each in west jerusalem he and his organization the current policy forum have worked closely with the israeli government on the drafting of the nation state law professor this controversial law declares the right to exercise national self-determination but it fails to have any broad consensus across israeli society as those protests showed no wonder then we've seen massive protests no wonder critics say it's racist and it cements the discrimination of non jewish minorities in the country what's your response. nothing in the law discriminates against any individuals based on any basis it does not take away anybody's rights and it does not give a special rights to any individuals the notion of having an official language of the majority language in the country is not a weird idea most western european liberal democracies have it and every arab country has that there's nothing racist there's nothing discriminatory in this war and of course the fact that you can have huge protests in tel aviv with the palestinian flag is a sign of how vibrant israeli democracy

agency hard for so with more on that one from west jerusalem. well a is making good this wednesday on its pledge announced last week that it would open its schools in the occupied palestinian territories and in its other three areas of operation on time despite the huge financial pressure that it's been under this year after the united states decided to withdraw three hundred of the three hundred sixty five million dollars that it was to provided to the agency this is come in the light of a great deal of political pressure that's been applied to iraq and to the palestinians under the administration of donald trump and there's been reporting in the israeli press in recent days and israeli media that the united states intends to go further by restricting the definition of palestine refugees to only those who came out of what was then how a stein in one hundred forty eight before the creation of the state of israel so restricting the number from more than five million to five hundred thousand and indeed permanently cutting off all u.s. funding for

to happen next and so we have other news anderson thank you very much stephanie decade is in west jerusalem for us stephanie these ready security cabinet has been meeting on gaza what's what's the outcome of that. well it seems they're still meeting their meeting in tel aviv in the army headquarters you have the prime minister there the minister of defense the chief of staff senior members of this government the security establishment trying to figure out what the best way forward is that we don't always get statements out of this cabinet it is the second time they meet in a week the first time on sunday there was a statement saying basically simply that the army is ready for any scenario this is something that we've heard throughout this i think yes as you heard and you there mention it remains tense you have rockets going out air strikes coming in and it's interesting the target of that cultural center is an escalation of sorts in terms of a show of force the fact that israel targeted a civilian building it did warn residents in the area this is why also you have many people who actually

have to say in the coming hours ok thanks andrea let's go live now to stephanie decker use in west jerusalem for an idea of what's happening there on the sides and as andrew was saying the staff there was the security cabinet meeting due at this time but it's been delayed that is correct as you heard andrew mention there we were expecting it to happen now it's the second security cabinet in a week it is now been delayed by two hours so let's wait and see what they have to say these hours are crucial we have heard reports of rocket sirens just in the last hour or so called into the israeli police spokesperson he's saying rockets were fired at best share of our and they're looking for them an open field and why could that be significant because bush never lies forty kilometers east of gaza so if that is confirmed it will be the further stay have been launched since the two thousand and fourteen conflict so again there are sensitive times it can still lead to an escalation we're going to have to wait and see what comes out of that security cabinet meeting absolutely and in the meantime what's h

and security services from all religions and its new cities andrew symonds has more now from west jerusalem. really benjamin netanyahu statement before the cabinet meeting doesn't move things on the committee he mentioned was already known about what it's going to do is a bit hazy and there is no breakthrough in talks with the minorities he did make a reference to the nation state nor remaining in place to mend it nor will he certainly won't get rid of it but he did say that it is democratic and that was an address not to the druze as such it was to all the israeli jews who were present at that vast demonstration they just came along some just passing by wanted to see what was happening others intent on having their say apart from the political parties who some would regard as the usual suspects attaching to this sort of resistance to the government now where does this all lead well more protests and more pressure on benjamin netanyahu but it would appear he will continue to resist as long as he has the right numbers on the side in the knesset the parliament which is in recess right now but

simmons al-jazeera gaza city well stuff they call correspondent is following events for us from west jerusalem and stuff we have to monitor really the reaction from both sides because the dust really hasn't settled yet that's right there's a lot of rhetoric on both sides to hell and the attacks continue this morning airstrikes and some rocket fire but again reading between the lines of these escalations and they do come in goes to hell is this is that israel is striking multiple had mass and other military targets inside gaza but they haven't struck any areas where there are a gathering of actually members of those groups this is significant because.

national security advisor john bolton and israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu in west jerusalemit's a question of the highest importance for the united states that iran never get a deliverable nuclear weapons capability it's why president trump withdrew from the wretched iran nuclear deal it's why he is really imposing economic sanctions it's why we've worked with our friends in europe to convince them of the need to take stronger steps against the iranian nuclear weapons and ballistic missile program i want to use this opportunity once again to thank president trump from walking away from the term will deal with iran. the nuclear deal did not block iran as a path to the ball it paved path to an entire nuclear arsenal and by removing the sanctions it enabled iran to bring the billions and billions of dollars to its coffers which only a few do runs warmachine in syria and lebanon and yemen and elsewhere. the u.s. embassy in the turkish capital of ungar has been targeted in a drive by shooting case of made two arrests after this one gunman opened fire from the car early on monday

equal rights for all let's talk to my colleague stephanie decker who's live for us this from west jerusalem stuff good morning what's happening there today. well the israeli knesset that's behind me that's the parliament has been recalled from their summer recess just about two weeks after that law was paulus the prime minister benjamin netanyahu very keen to get it passed before they went on their summer break while the controversy surrounding it now has led to them being recalled it's not going to be binding what is debated here today but we do expect it to be heated from what we understand the prime minister will not be attending he is not required to attend legally but the opposition has been saying well you pos this law so very quickly there's been a huge fallout about it you should be here to debate but certainly at the moment we don't expect that to happen but you know it's indicative of the wider criticism peter not just from israel's minority as you mentioned earlier from the druze from the palestinian israeli citizens also coming from abroad and from its jewish citizens saying tha

jerusalem right harry. well that's right and this comes after a rally over night in west virginia given by donald trump during which he said that by taking jerusalem off the table he'd given the israelis something and that they would have to pay a high price for that and it was only natural that the palestinians could expect to be the next in line to get something so john bolton was asked about that by an israeli journalist during this news conference saying well hang on the u.s. position is always been that it was natural that jerusalem was the capital of israel why are you now saying that you want to extract a price from something that was natural both and said that it was a right and natural thing for the united states to do but that as a dealmaker president trump anyone else would expect the palestinians having lost out as he put it on that would expect to to ask ok so what's coming our way next well of course we all know that the palestinian position is one of utter rejection of this peace plan even before it's published there are some reports that it might be published in september around the united nat
