donald trump has not been able to get saudi arabia to do this. does this deal with morocco make it easier for morocco to sign onto the idea? >> i don't think so. it was only the military side that agreed to do it and civilian side has criticized. you have 3 1/2 leps that have done this and the people of these countries don't have the task to express their free opinion to a large extent. we know from the surveys that we just heard that public opinion is strongly supportive of palestine, but is willing to live with israel if israel agrees to a palestinian state and ends the occupation. so the saudis, i think, are more sensitive to this sentiment than we might think and versus the crown prince in saudi arabia, the difference in age and generation. and the saudis see themselves as keepers of the sunni islamic identity around the world. so they feel constraints on them that other constraints don't. in the final analysis, we have to say these are decisions by a handful of men who are not politically accountable to their people and rely on international support, military security

potential as we just heard no deal breaks israel in morocco have agreed to normalize relations and a deal brokered by the u.s. president donald trump calling it an historic breakthrough under the deal the u.s. will recognize the rocco's claim over the disputed western sahara it's the 4th arab israeli agreement in 4 months after the united arab emirates bahrain and sudan all recognized israel lebanon's prime minister hasan has been charged with negligence over the beirut 40 explosion that killed more than $200.00 people in august 3 former cabinet members were also charged says his conscience is clear the blast was caused by explosive material that had been stored at the port for years. here in germany deaths from the coronavirus have passed the 20000 mark weeks of a partial lockdown have not done enough to bring infection numbers down chester are going to america has already made a passionate plea for people to cut down on socialising and germany's top scientist a warning that the country will have to introduce tougher restrictions if people do not reduce social contacts volunteer. german scientists are once again sounding the alarm

morocco's claim over the disputed region of western sahara bara has more on the implications of this announcement on politics here in the middle east. that recognition today by u.s. president donald trump is something which will definitely reshape the whole thing about the conflicts of western sahara is going to give morocco massive political advantage in the coming in the future it will put more pressure on the polish sorry a front backed by 2 key players in africa and south africa and algeria as far as the middle east peace process of the normalization between morocco and israel the royal palace said that the kingdom of morocco. reiterated in the special status of jerusalem and would like to see to a solution a state solution happening in the near future the king of morocco is at the same time the chairman of the. committee of jerusalem committee which was established in 1975 with the aim of finding a solution to the issue of jerusalem and i think the walkers would like to take this opportunity now to say that we will use our normalization with israel to move forward and help the both the palestinians and the israelis move forward to words a permanent solution to the crisis i can say

relations in a deal brokered by the you with donald trump broke the news on twitter calling it an historic breakthrough under the deal the u.s. will recognize morocco's climb over the disputed western sahara morocco is the 4th arab nation to recognize israel in recent months. and celebrations have been held here in berlin to mock the start of the jewish hanukkah festival thing clue did lighting a lighting a lighting ceremony i should say for the 1st branch of a giant menorah on display at the city's brandenburg gate german health minister against attended the event along with leaders of the jewish community. was saying here in germany they've been too grim developments in the coronavirus pandemic here thursday sora new record number of daily infections and more than 20000 people have now died from covered 19 in germany that's despite weeks of a partial lockdown which hasn't had the effect that authorities have been hoping for the head of the country's disease control center is warry he's now urging germans to stay at harm of a christmas political momentum is also building for a tough a lockdown over the holidays with some regions already introducing

that will go down as donald trump's greatest success, his foreign policy in the middle east. if you look at the four peace agreement that happened in somalia, moroccothe uae, and bahrain, those are four arab countries that for the first time in his relapse history recognize israel as a sovereign state. that will have huge implications, look at the fact that jimmy carter got a nobel peace prize for a peace agreement between israel and egypt and rightly so, the media has been completely silent on these four peace agreements and i believe trump should get a nobel peace prize for it. jillian: and naming a lot of judges and justices over the years especially 2020, ending with justice amy coney barrett. >> that is right. if you look at what trump is done, he has appointed 54 courts of appeals, 174 lower court cases and the supreme court. he's going to have an impact on the judiciary for generations to come, just because he appointed all these constitutionalist judges, won't be activist judges, looking what the text of the statute say congress passed rather than pushing their liberal agenda and this will have an impact for generations to come and i think

attempts donald trump has not been able to get saudi arabia to agree to normalization with israeli and despite repeated pressure despite repeated attempts and trips to the region does this deal with morocco make it easier for saudi arabia ultimately to sign on to the idea and i don't think so no these deals that have happened the 4 countries about 3 and a half really because some of them it was only the military side that agreed to do it and the civilian side of the government has criticized them very largely so you have 3 and a half arab leaderships that have done this and the people of these countries mostly don't have the chance to express their free opinion for that but to a large extent so we know from the services that we just heard and others that public opinion is strongly supportive of palestine but is willing to live with israel if israel agrees to a post in the states and the occupation so. there so it is i think are more sensitive to this sentiment them we might see. can the and possibly its the king versus the crown prince and saudi arabia the difference in age and generation i don't think the saudis and the sound you see themselves as keepers of the you know the sunni islam
