the matter of jerusalem is saying that they owe taxes like everybody else if they have a problem they should turn to the courts the churches themselves are saying this is discriminatory abuses against christians in the holy land they're also protesting against a proposed piece of legislation which would allow the israeli government to seize land which the church had sold to private investors in the past they say the that the proponents of that law say that it is a way of trying to protect the rights of people who have apartments and houses on that land whose futures are thrown into some confusion by this again the church is saying that this is a way of discriminating against them it would devalue the land that they own in and around jerusalem more generally so for now this standoff continues and this hugely important holy site remains closed. the church was built in the fourth century in the christian quarter of jerusalem's old city it attracts thousands of pilgrims because it's believed to contain the two holiest sites in christianity where jesus christ was crucified and resurrected

jerusalem is used part of the palestinian territory. it has been occupied since 1967 and it is our capital. it is strange that the united the palestineist liberation organization on its restrictions -- all of these international, bilateral relations between us and the united nations, visits.g we discovered that congress believes we are terrorists. if the congress thinks we are terrorists, how is it visiting us and providing assistance? how? how do you help terrorists? recently, it has decided to punish the palestine refugees by way of reduction of contribution. despite the fact that it supported the industries and endorsed the peace initiative, which calls for a just and agreed solution for the plight of the refugees in accordance with resolution 194. the united states have contradicted itself. it has contradicted its own commitment and violated international law. no country alone to install a regional or international conflict without the participation of other international. question, to solve the , it is essential to establish a mult

jerusalem has been our capitol since the days of king david, and jerusalem will remain the undivided capitol of the state of israel forever. we will always insist on the israeli sovereignty over a united jerusalem, but even fair-mined observers would agree that under any possible agreement, jerusalem will be recognized internationally as our capital. after all these years, of abbas' rejectionism, one thing is very clear. when we extend a hand, abbas extends a fist. only when the terrorist of hamas extend a hand das abbas embrace them with open arms and without precondition. mr. abbas has not insisted on the basic human gesture of the return of the the israeli civilians and the remains of soldiers that hamas is savagely holding. mr. president, israelis are an optimistic people. we weathered four bloody wars with egypt, while waiting for a leader like anwar sadat to courageously visit jump jump -- jerusalem it tack generations are in king hussein entered what he called a piece of the brave. three times a day, ju jews in israel and all over the world, turn to jerusalem and pray for peac

penny to the israelili municipality in jerusalem. it is a victory that the government has been defeated, similar to the kind of victory the muslims had in the summer, after there were attempts to restrict the entrance to the al-aqsa mosque. they imposed metal detectors. they said they have waged a similar campaign. what we have seen was a joint struggle not only of the three main churches -- the armenian, the greek orthodox, and the catholics, but also muslims. there were representatives of the palestinian authority, and all of this has culminated into a protest movement. now, they are seeing as a victory the fact that the prime minister has announced he would shelve all the plans for taxing properties. we are talking about properties that belong to the church. but these will not be taxed for now. another lelegislation anand parliament that was supposed to go touough and t tt would gigive the israeleli governmentnt possibilitity to confiscate chuh land -- that would also be frozen. anchor: to venezuela now. the countries president, n

embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. his answer to donald trump's concern that islam hates america. >> i think islam hates us. >> for them to feel isolated, that's the danger. >> and the king's hopes for the future of the middle east. >>> but first, here's my take. president trump's state of the union speech mostly ignored the world outside america. he made a few tough statements on things like the iran deal and guantanamo and described, accurately, the evil nature of the north korean regime. but he said very little about his foreign policy. this masks a more dangerous reality. the trump administration has in fact either accidentally or by design laid out aggressive markers in three different parts of the world. three red lines without any serious strategy as to what happens when they are crossed. the first is with north korea. trump and his top officials have asserted that the area of strategic patience with north korea is over. the president has specifically promised that north korea would never be able to develop a nu
