embassy has behavior to its diplomats and embassy workers from visiting the old city of jerusalem the west bank and gaza out of security concerns. we discussed this proposal with middle east experts from different sides of the conflict. this has nothing to do with the deal has nothing to do with the palestinians has nothing to do with international law has nothing to do with the e.u. and resolutions has nothing to do with the agreements already signed by the palestinians and israelis the united states recognizes the said israel didn't recognize the state of palestine so in other words until the united states recognize the state of palestine along their idea $67.00 borders would do so as of capital i don't think there is room for any negotiations over anything that's why if the united states want to make amends with this they've got to they have to come to common ground according to international law it's called along the $9067.00 borders that's the issue between the israelis and the palestinians he ran a whole campaign he's going to put america 1st all he's doing is trying to incite more division more p

city of haifa in israel. and take a closer look at mine. in the old town. in these 2 streets in new gaza and plan that comes from gaza a jewish reserve venture area was created 1000 years ago because jews were only allowed to settle here the houses were built particularly narrow and high in order to offer as much space as possible. the speed of museum is also located here in the you wouldn't have the jewish courtyard. in the middle ages buyout was called in hebrew which is how the museum got its name. was called. mines. for this reason these 3 cities are called shoot communities. stands for peter for what minds are and for. the term is like a law it is familiar to jews all over the world. the importance of becomes clear when you go outside the museum here you can see the remains of the mediæval synagogue it dates back to 1104. the. next it was the so-called phone should the synagogue for the women. in general women and men sit apart and synagogues well in this bench here used to be for the women they were able to follow the service by at least listening. this mix here is particularly not

city of jerusalem as "it's undivided capital." area ceased of israel would go to a united palestine, while the only connection to the west bank and gaza would be through a tunnel. for the palestinian authority, this makes the deal a nonstarter. >> jerusalem is not for sale. and all our rights are not for sale. and not for bargaining. pass.onspiracy deal won'n't the plan would also deny the so-called right of return for millions of palestinian refugees to go back to their ancestral homeland, while the palestinian state would also be presented -- prevented from having its own military. washington has promised $50 billion in new investment in palestine. it calls the deal a win-win. >> i think the palestinians probably need a little time to take a cold shower and adjust the plan, read it. i think they are gettttg a lot of phone calls from a lot of people, saying, you repaired -- prepared your response before you read the plan. this is pretty good. reporter: on sunday, the israeli cabinet will vote on whether to annex the jordan valley and all settlements. genie: the nominations for the cesar, france's version of the oscars, came out today

tell city leaders in the west bank and gaza strip have told fox news this week they are rejecting thewas described to me by one official as "dead on arrival." palestinian leadership concern that president trump will expand settlements as part of this plan. and also give up key parts of the west bank. i do want you to take a look at what the scene was like earlier today here in ramallah. what is taking place in the streets of ramallah, tear gas and rubber bullets being fired by the israelis as palestinians throw stones and light fires in the streets. it's just a taste of what could happen if the trump administration 'steals the sentries implemented. that, according to palestinian leadership in both the west bank and gaza. at the same time the deal is released in washington with israeli prime minster benjamin netanyahu and president trump, mahmoud abbas will be holding a meeting of his own here in ramallah. he is invited both hamas and islamic jihad, the two main factions inside the gaza strip. this is an unprecedented meeting, a show of unity by the palestinians. they are expected to r

just how to get the gaza strip is a do to try to stop the groups here the faction will say that their arms because it is a legitimate resistance about it to israeli occupation how the city of that if you look at the deal it looks like more and more palestinians i'm somehow whom to be taken by israel so i think we're at a very precarious point nobody really knows how things are they have to move forward but certainly in the middle when expecting a massive. stephanie dick had a. demonstration there in gaza thank you well there in front of it was scuffles near a locks a mosque compound where palestinians were holding a protest against the middle east peace plan put forward by president from palestinians gathered in the early hours after morning prayers israeli police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the gathering. the people of the u.k. have 12 hours left as citizens of the european union the country's 47 year membership of the bloc officially ends friday night 2300 hours g.m.t. 11 pm there in london it will then enter a so-called transition period until the end of the year to reach a deal on their future relationship thousands of brags that supporters are exp

gaza strip. but is there any chance to get the palestinians on board? joining me now human rights attorney who attended today's unveiling at the white house, brooke goldstein back from new york cityou hear from the president that you have not heard from passive missed rations? >> you hit the nail on the head that has been touted as the deal of the century. but what really is new? what is new is there are so many more details to this peace plan then we have seen in prior administrations were there was a lot of lip service. but is based on the same passÉ premise that we know is going to fail. it's the two state solution. and i think it's pretty obvious that creating another islamic state in us cfl dictatorships would know have -- none of them have been met. when terrorism is still there, it is not a solution to the peace process. so i think what is his totally historic and new was finally the u.s. recognition that israel has sovereign legal rights over at least parts of judeo and samaria. and it's upon this basis, a recognition that israel does have a right to the land. that israel can negotiate it away. it's willing to negotiate the land away for peace. but there is no partner for
