but you know i would say that ultimately israel yes did hunker the golan heights from syria in the 68 war now and see 67 but i'm unclear as to who exactly will the world who want israel to give the golan heights to would be to bashar a law side who is massacred and butchered half a 1000000 of his own people would it be to the isis which is still operating inside parts of syria would be the rain ians that are in trenching themselves in syria would be to the russians that are in syria so for all the criticism that people might have about the golan heights israel is keeping not just israel safe but it's helping to keep it safe what israel did in my book and try to shrink by taking out a nuclear reactor that bashar al asad was building together with north korea and destroying that reactor built inland near the euphrates river in a region called heroes your rich in 2014 was taken over by isis imagine for a moment that isis got its hands on a nuclear reactor a nuclear material a nuclear weapons this would have been a nightmare for the entire world israel saved the world when it took out tha

the golan heights is a battleship. it is a place from which rockets were fired at israeli civilians down in the valley. you don't get back a battleship. he used that analogy. i also urged him to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and i was invited to be there when that event occurred. i took my grandson and we had a wonderful, memorable time when the united states finally too late, but finally recognized the reality that jerusalem is israel's capital. so i think that principle is important. [applause] prof. dershowitz: i believe that bipartisanship requires two things -- it requires that you condemn the person you voted for if they do wrong, and i condemned president obama mercilessly when he allowed his representative to the un not to veto a resolution that declared the western wall to be occupied territory, hebrew university and the hadassah hospital access roads to be occupied territory in the jewish quarter, which has been inhabited by jews for 3,000 years, to be occupied territory -- i railed against him. it

a moment i will sign a presidential proclamation recognizing israel's sovereign right over the golan heights now at no time now who has been using the american president's image in his election posters if you drive around the country you can see that on yahoo and trump smiling from any number of boards what's interesting is that in this country if you are a political analyst you charge something like $180000.00 a year but here in a town yahoo is getting priceless support from the american president and it's only been benefiting him for nothing so the question is whether or not they need to be a 30 lection and just what kind of promises trump is going to make to the israeli prime minister should that eventuality unfold. polo world also will follow more will know what's holding you so with the next 24 hours we'll let you get across the bridges the latest as the updates come through policy in jerusalem from . but more background is that the israeli parliament was dissolved in april in a dispute over the growing influence of the ultra orthodox jewish minority the country's former defense and for

strangling blockade of the gaza strip intensifying settlement activity in the occupied syrian golan heights and changing its nature all these practices are happening in an over defiance to the united nations and its resolutions to the extent that israel has come to regard the airspace of the countries of the region as open to it how long will international legitimacy remain inapt and unable to find anyone who would enforce its respect when it comes to palestine it has been proven that settlements there is on the imposition of the logic of force will only result and there violation and denial by the logic of force of occupation as well. however permanent peace is based on justice which means guaranteeing the rights of the palestinian. people whose homeland has been usurped foremost of which the establishment of the palestinian state on the borders of $967.00 with east jerusalem as its capital and the and the end of israeli occupation of all occupied arab lands including the syrian golan heights the syrian golan and the lebanese territory is as qatar will not stop supporting any effort in fav

ideas the coalition of jerusalem as a couple of israel as a condition of the annexation of the golan heights. an attack on a new rule and cut of lot of funding from palestinian authority and united nations relief and works agency an actual plan to liquidate the palestinian refugee rights and an actual change in the american policy which stopped supporting the 2 state solution and now is talking about self governing authority under a system of apartheid on the ground what we see is a full fledged system of apartheid and frankly speaking i do not see much difference between gantz and you know they all are against stablish want of a palestinian state they are all for continuation of occupation and they are both. participating in consolidating a system of apartheid so no i take this very seriously. shockey it also is speaking about an exception not only of jordan valley but of the whole area of sea and i believe this is a trend that is going on the fact to really to consolidate apartheid and kill the option of 2 state solution which we are hearing that the palestinians are we not just from a sub

israel annexed the golan heights in 1981 after capturing the territory from syria during the 1967 war couldld respond to the significance of all of t this? up.'m glad you brought that here we have the jordan valley, a legal fiction that there is no sovereignty and used its legal strategies in order to basically say they could negotiate and use the peace process in alliance with the u.s. to take palestinian lands. steadily and shortly, to fulfill a greater vision with israel. there is no controversy over the fact that the syrian -- this is syrian sovereign territory. there is no controversy over the fact this should be returned to syria. we saw israel declare its sovereignty blatantly in contradiction of international opinion, international law, a clear war -- were crime. nothing to be discussed. despite all of the law on the side of international communities, including articles of state responsibility, which puts the responsibility on thihd state parties in order to react to this egregious maneuver, nothing has been done. done besideseen nonrecognition, which should tell us that much

[cheers and applause] and i also approved for israel the golan heights, and if you really think about it, i said to people, what'sea more important, thee golan heights or the capitl of jerusalem by moving our embassy there? he said neither, sir, what you've done in iran is more important than both. i said, you know, i guess you're right when you think about it. so we've done a good job, all of us together. as a movement we've done a great job for israel. for years he watched as your politicians apologized for america. now you have a president who was standing up for america and we are standing up for the people of north carolina. [cheers and applause] you must never forget that the 2,020 election is about one t thing, you. it's true. it's not about me, it's about you. it's about your family, your future, and the fate of your country. that's what we did in 2016. they came from the hills in the valleys. they came from the cities, they came from all over the place and people were saying these fakers back then, they were saying what is happening? but i knew it was going to happen. because

you look at golan heights, you look at jerusalem, moving the embassy to jerusalem, becoming the capital, you look at even the iran deal, what has happened with iran, iran is a much different country now than it was 2.5 years ago. it is in a much different position. now, i don't believe that. i wouldn't believe that story. anything's possible but i don't believe that. reporter: are there any democrats debating tonight that you have respect for? pres. trump: i respect all of them. reporter: all of them? pres. trump: i respect everyone. it takes a lot of courage to run for office. i respect all of them. i'm getting to be much better as a politician. you never thought you would hear that answer. reporter: [inaudible] i think so. it depends on the democrats. it depends on whether or not the democrats want to take your guns away because it is a possibility that this is just a ploy -- a ploy to take your guns away or whether or not it is meaningful. if it is meaningful, we will make a deal. if this is a movement by the democrats to take your guns away, it will never happen. we will never let t
