>>west jerusalem.>> in washington, lawmakers will have 60 days to debate the nuclear deal. if congress tries to derail it, through a bill keeping iranian sanctions, the president has promised to veto. and the question is whether he can sustain his veto. lisa is there where the fight has already begun. >> it has indeed. there's a chorus of criticism on capitol hill, mainly from republicans, but democrats as well. some worry that the president may have given away too and there's concern that he didn't meet the goals that he set out to meet. here's senate majority leader, mitch mcconnell. >> remember, ending iran's nuclear program was supposed to be the talks in the first place. and what's about the disagreement, it will not achieve or even come close to achieving that original purpose. >> now one of the concerns on both sides of the aisle is whether this agreement is verifiable. a way that the international community can truly know if iran was cheating on that deal? the details are in the complex agreement. and the leader of the democrats on the senate side, harry reid, he ur

let's bring in our correspondent joining us from west jerusalem. so who is he audience?it's very interesting that you asked that question. it's very interesting that benjamin netenyahu made this brief statement in english. his audience is a global audience. the way he characterized iran describing it as a country where people hold rallies, they shout death to america, and death to iran is meant to play to what he thinks people should be wary of which is iran is in his view bent on destroying israel and bent on destroying the united states. but what is interesting about all of that and what is interesting about his statement in which we didn't hear anything knew. he certainly hasn't said anything about this iran deal leading up to it and since then that we haven't heard him say before but what is interesting is just the pressure that mr. netenyahu is facing at home. he is being harshly criticized by opposition politicians here in israel who are accusing mr. netenyahu of handling this badly. he is saying the track he took with the u.s. has effectively worked against israel

says it's responsible and more from jerusalem. >> reporter: closed the to main border crossings withpt and military is closely monitoring the situation in sinai after this deadly attack. we also under stand that the israeli military is also monitoring the border area that gaza shares with egypt as well. all of this really just under scores the concern that israel has about the violence in egypt. the two countries have had what's been described as a cold peace since 1979 but the relationship between egypt and israel was thoroughly tested in 2012 during israel's campaign in the gaza strip which resulted in the deaths of a number offensive civilians and then egyptian president mohamed morsi pulled its envoy from israel but in the last few weeks the current president abdel-fattah el-sissi sent a new ambassador back to israel and the cooperation with israel and egypt is better than a few years ago and really under scores what we have been saying that israel does have concerns about the situation in the sinai an area which they built a huge fence which stretches for over 200 kilometer, sta

. >> and we have more on israeli reaction from jerusalem. >> the second time we heard from the primeinister benjamin netanyahu today in his latest statement, it is quite clear that he was directing his message to an international audience. he only spoke in english and delivered a brief statement, however in it he was very scathing of iran and wanted to portray iran as a country that could not be trusted and perhaps more importantly was determined to in his words destroy israel and the united states. whatever the case in the background of all of this mr. netanyahu is facing very serious pressure at home from opposition politicians politicians who criticize his handling of this iran deal in the sense that they believe that he has strained relations with the united states particularly the u.s. president barack obama unnecessarily and because relations were so poor president obama agreed to concessions with iran that the u.s. might not have otherwise if relations with israel were better. >> that was reporting from jerusalem. meanwhile iran's president said the deal marks a new chapter in

. >> let's go live to stephanie dekker who is in west jerusalem. this bill was controversial, wasn't it and it just passed. >> that's right. it took pt members of the parliament, the israeli knesset hours to come to this vote. it passed by six. it's not a majority i should say, but it is now law. it is facing a lot of opposition, as you said. from the israeli medical association. we spoke to a doctor that said it's against medical ethics belief religion equating it to rape. when i asked what it entailed he said it's a horrific procedure even for a patient that needs it post-surgery type of thing. it's horrendous let alone a person who has been on hunger strike who is week trike to fight it. it is now law. the medical association called on the doctors not to do it. as the doctor told us they'll find people and the other issue is most of the prisoners on hunger strike are under administrative detention, meaning it hasn't been charged. this is what palestinians tell you, the last resort on pressure on the authorities, to charge them or let them go. no

. >> reporter: i am imtiaz tyab in the suburbs of west jerusalem.ck israelis say they will continue to protest against widespread racism and discrimination after earlier protests ended in violence. >>> it's good to have you with us, i am in doha. these are the top story on his al jazerra. saudi arabia has arrested 431 people suspected of having links to isil. the interior ministry says it prevented suicide attacks on mosques, secure tie forces and a diplomatic mission. >>> iran's supreme leader says his country's anti-u.s. policy won't change dissipate a historic nuclear deal with world powers. eyeayatollah khomeini has been trying to appease hard line supporters disappointed by agreement. >>> the green prime minister has worn some new members of his cabinet and sacked members who opposed further all stair pi measures. >>> israel's prime minter has vowed to eliminate racism as ethnic minor at thises hold protests against discrimination. benjamin netanyahu set the a government committee to work outweighs to stop ace race racism but many black israeli

imtiaz tyab joins us now from jerusalem. and as we have been saying imtiaz.aeli government has long given its opposition to this deem. but it now does seem as if it is a reality. >> reporter: indeed. in fact, not only the israeli government, but mr. netanyahu himself very specifically has for the past 20 years of his career been quite frankly demonizing iran at every opportunity that he can. now, as you mentioned he did speak just a few minutes ago before this deal has been formally announced. and i can sort of give you a few key points from mr. netanyahu said. he said that israel's concern is that iran is effectively being given the green light it pave the way, as he described it, to a nuclear weapon. he also went onto say that iran because of the lifting of sanctions, will also have access to hundreds of billions of dollars to, what he described as spreading terrorism. and ended it by saying that this deal was a mistake of historic calhistoricalproportions none of what mr. netanyahu has said is new. he has been, extremely vocal critic of the deal but as we

hearing it looks all but certain that it will. >> it certainly does and we are joining you from jerusalem and we actually have a clip of what the israeli prime minister actually said and here it is. >> but our concern of course is that the militant islamic state of iran is going to receive a sure path to nuclear weapons, many of the restrictions that were supposed to prevent it from getting there will be lifted and iran will get a jackpot, a cash bonanza, hundreds of millions of dollars that allow it to continue with terror in the region and the world. this is a bad mistake of stark proportions. >> and iran says they will give iran the resources to consolidate influence in the middle east and we report. >> reporter: with this historic nuclear agreement iran people can throw off the decade long of sanctions and experts are expected to sky rocket and billions of dollars in trade and investment in sectors such as oil, aviation technology and housing could be pumped into the iran economy. >> iran is a gold mine with a huge population and a very able citizenry that can work and be creative and
