israel from its government and its military of more to come we've also seen the situation in shacks gerar the neighborhood where there are palestinian refugees threatened with eviction more tension there today as israeli politicians from both sides of the argument were scuffling we've seen the cancellation of the jerusalem day march which looked liable to really create potential violence and dangerous scenes between the 2 communities here that was canceled after the scenes that began the day on the al aqsa mosque compound where israeli troops israeli forces moved in in great numbers with great force and we saw them using stun grenades rubber coated steel bullets battens tear gas against palestinians who uses rocks and pieces of furniture to fight them and so it's been a day when really the tipping point has been reached and we're in very dangerous territory now. thank you very much gary force in the streets and now let's speak in a day and plan in ramallah and saying that obviously the atmosphere now very volatile and what's interesting is how we are seeing people take to the streets and

administration to put pressure on israel to stop those forced evictions from occupied east jerusalem in shared gerar is that likely do you think to gain any political traction. well what happened in the course of the day is that a group of 25 democrats within congress sent a letter to the secretary of state antony blinken asking him to bring pressure to bear on israel to stop the forced evictions in occupied east jerusalem particularly in that shape sherif area which has been the flashpoint of this current round of conflict now the school has been made before it's been made 5 some very prominent senators bernie sanders elizabeth warren they've also been bringing to bear some kind of pressure on the biden administration to take some action on this particular point and one last note as well that the white house press secretary has said that the message has been conveyed to israel that it is not helpful to destroy palestinians property or them from their homes whether this becomes something that the biden president biden himself is going to bring up with the israeli leadership well that's something tha
