the beitar jerusalem football club will now be known as beitar trump jerusalem. - that's right, trump has gotten so popular that they're naming an israeli soccer team after him, which is perfect. because a lot of people don't know this, but that team only won their league because james comey stepped in and tripped a player on their opposing team. [laughter] yeah. everyone was confused. they're all like, "what is james comey doing here?" they're like, "i don't know, trevor needed him for the joke." and here's the thing, if trump wants to take israel's side, that's his prerogative. but at least be honest about it. right? instead of stoking the flames at the same time you're saying this. - our greatest hope is for peace. the united states remains fully committed to facilitating a lasting peace agreement. - if you're palestinian, you probably think that statement is absolute bullshit. and i can understand why, because essentially, although america says it's the referee, it's basically just shown up to game two in a cavs jersey. it's like, "yeah, i'm gonna be totally fair, right, lebron?"

this morning and she said that the theft of jerusalem was impossible to come back from jerusalem along with the refugee issue along with the borders issue they are the three cynic or nons of any deal going forward so the palestinian position remains unchanged despite this apparent offer of some prize by don't trump which was dying old overnight all right we'll leave it that thanks so much harry for sit . zimbabwe's top court is hearing the opposition party's challenge to last month's election results opposition leader. rigged in favor of. just over fifty percent. of. the courthouse. how's the court session going there any direction which way the judges are leaning. well proceedings have just started security is tied. behind me people are searched as they go in to bring in pens and notebooks no recording devices no phones that. put up with people can watch the proceedings as it fit inside the court today zimbabweans will get to hear what evidence the m.d.c. alliance says they have when they say that they can prove the election was stolen the m.d.c. say they have documents that show that

as a territory now they said we're jerusalem as defined by the government of israel that means they have abandoned their line that is there was a massacre by predatory so what do you do in such guess i think i think this region is being thrown to the hands of extremists i think moderates are being destroyed and i think this is their intention their strategy so they can say israel can say oh we're the only democracy we had we don't we don't we want peace but we're going to have a partner for peace and nobody will ask them but you had a partner for peace would have ignited you since one thousand area and then a bush ended with you for twenty five years and you did not move one inch to announce that you accept the two state solution or you want to who knows the palestinian state or stop settlements or stop the collective punishment mr erekat we've talked about israel and the united states but i think it's also evident that one of your former strong backers in the arab world saudi arabia is also. well is no longer there for you if i may put it that way i'm sure you've heard about this l

there's a market in jerusalem where there is a juice healer. i am sitting there very skeptical of the sky. people are saying i'm depressed i need some help. and they rushed up and said i never is this thing that's racking her life with an affair. the juice healer turned to me sad -- it takes a while and shows it to the lady and says seven of these a day. whatever looks like the brain helps the brain. kicker has been seven of these today and everything will be alright. i'm sending the back of the room like are you kidding me, this is the most ridiculous thing i've ever seen. this woman all of a sudden felt this deep sense of calm and she said give me three pounds of them. i'll take it. it was so moving for me in such an education or me because while i admit that there was something that was going to cure this terminal illness her husband had come i also knew that this thing, this sort of myth had actually brought her some real comfort. i think when you talk about the god we were given, the path to success we were given, the waves of my generatio

i i am thinking about one issue, jerusalem. there is a lot of stuff going on in jerusalem. there was a riot last friday. what if there is an incident in jerusalem, and the arabians say, we will be the defenders -- iranians say they will be the defenders of jerusalem. once that match is lit, how big is the conflict? >> are you directing that a particular member? >> anyone who wants to. >> i think the iranians, i am sorry if i am infringing. the iranians have a cold-blooded approach to their interests. if you look at the 2006 lebanon war, there were protests in tehran in support of hezbollah. if protests occur without official -- these kinds of protest usually have official blessing when they occur. if people were volunteering to go fight, my knowledge, and there were a number of journalists who covered it at the time, none of them were allowed to go. the 2006 war would have been -- this was tailor-made given the regimes commitments to has bought and the downtrodden, this would've been natural to let the people go, and they didn't. they did not want to get dragged into a war

i'm alex crawford in jerusalem and this is "hotspots."onight, we're gonna take you behind the scenes of some of the world's biggest and hardest-hitting stories. we get caught up in the violence in and around jerusalem and the west bank. man: the level of anger was intense. crawford: we're on the scene as zimbabwe's military topples its longtime dictator

there is a lot of stuff going on in jerusalem. what if there is an incident and the iranians say rally around us to make that the fulcrum of the conflict. that is the conflagration. are you directing that a particular member? i think iranian have a very cold-blooded approach. protesting tehran and you tell me at the protest over and they have the official blessing. and there is a number of journalist and so this is tailor-made to have that commitment and fighting israeli aggression. because they didn't want to be dragged into a more to have those citizens killed have the pressure put on the regime. but right now by a large and to act in the very careful way with that regional status quo and balance of power without having them spiraled out of control. i don't dismiss it but by a march mode -- by and large with what they don't want. that doesn't mean they don't escalate but then you have the attempted assassination but all the while the possibility and then to believe that is in their interest. but then with that miscalculation. >>

know that the you believe the trance announcement and his decision to move the american embassy to jerusalem was essentially the end of the two state solution that's at least what you said on record and i also heard you say that trans decision will would force the palestinians to strive for quote unquote historic palestine from the jordan river to the mediterranean sea which is another way of saying that you too not only reject the two state solution but you actually don't recognize israel's right to exist on those territories i understand the emotions behind that statement i understand that but do you think it can bring your people any good in practical terms look what i said i said i said our only option our option is a two state solution our option is to live and let live our option is for the state of israel which will be nice on the ninety six seven lines to live side by side in peace and security with the state of palestine that's what we said now israel. the nutter who as a person instead refused to stop settlements and so on so we're left with two options if israel is destroying the

the jerusalem post repeat the words of one israeli minister who said the situation in gaza is nearing a decision. either an arrangement or more. genie: another story is getting a lot of press in israel. it's the country's controversial nation state law. >> the law defines israel as a nation state of the jewish people. it was adopted in july but it is still being very heatedly debated in the country. you can see the jerusalem post quotes and opposition leader who said that with this law prime minister benjamin netanyahu is dissolving the glue of israeli society. describes the very stormy session as lawmakers discuss the law on wednesday. one of the arab minorities that has been making headlines in recent days is the druze community. for their very dedicated service in the israeli military. they held a big protest last weekend. you can see a photo from it on the front page of the lebanese paper. the paper says the people are torn between loyalty and sent over this law. one army veteran told the paper, we have given our lives and now the government wants to make a second-class citizens.

we are going to move our embassy to jerusalem, it is going to be the capital of israel, and then they don't do it. politicians, they don't do it. i said i'm going to do it during the campaign. it here'm going to do in west virginia. i understand why many presidents why they understood did not do it, because i was inundated with calls from foreign leaders. please don't do it. actually, what i did -- i was about five days off, i stopped taking calls. i knew what they were going to ask me. it is much easier -- sorry,

i also recognize the capital of embassynd opened a new in jerusalem. >> [cheers and applause]

embassy in israel to jerusalem. it's something that he promised folks he would do, and he did it.'s something -- and he sees that as part of the larger peace plan. i think what you are -- what the problem is here is that you've got some negotiators in this who have not been dealing with these issues very long. you have some negotiators seen in the middle east as extremely pro-israel and in some cases potentially anti-muslim. the president himself, obviously, had the travel ban, the first couple versus struck down by the court because they were seeing as being religious. so there is a lot to be done here. it was easier to part the red sea than to get peace in the middle east. >> gail, the ap is writing that palestinian leaders in part for the reason that jonathan just mentioned there, they are going to be hostile towards any proposal from the trump administration given his decision to move the embassy to jerusalem from tel aviv. is there anything that is going to allow this administration to work through a serious peace plan if the palestinians have already said anything that arriv

joining me now is middle east correspondent tanya crema she joins me from jerusalem john what is the latest you can tell us about this incident. well the situation seems to have quieted down in the past hour or so but we have to wait and see what the next hours will bring if they can agree again on a calm in the south because we've seen those days of military escalation several times in the past month now according to the israeli army a hundred and eighty rockets were launched from the gaza strip to southern communities and open fields in israel. thirty of them have been intercepted by the israeli defense system are in. israeli army says they have launched attacks from against one hundred fifty targets and sites in the gaza strip and as you said three people have been reported to be killed in gaza and there have been injured both sides in israel and the gaza strip and tell you've just been in the palestinian territories let's first look at your report which shows the situation for people in gaza since the u.s. president slashed u.s. funding for the united nations agency responsible f
