david michaelis at link tv and he comes with west jerusalem and i come from west jerusalem, so we come from the same seat. but in reality, two different worlds. >> i was born in jerusalem and i've been living there all my life, since 1945. five years ago i came to the united states to launch a tv channel. and that's how i met jamal dajani. he challenged me to think about solutions that hadn't been discussed until now. and one day we said, well, we should test it on the ground. >> the reality thehere is very harsh. but why don't we go over there and do i it. >> we are herere in a bubblble. after sometitime of working together withth jamal i said let's do thisis in california. you only have to choosose in th neighbhborhood what kikind of l yoyou want i in the mornining. >> w when i go thehere i'm alwa eager to g go to my people, to neigighborhood. i wawant to have the least interaction with the israelelis as possibible. >> many israelis don't wwant t know abobout paltinians. they don't't want to rreach ou they don't want to cross into streets anand neighborhohoods the palelestinians live

that jerusalem is the historic capital of israel. this reality was reinforced when the united states correctly relocated our embassy to jerusalem earlier this year. and i call upon more countries to do the same. the historic bond is evidenced by the incredible discoveries being unearthed in the archaeological excavation throughout the city of david. these excavations affirm the millennia old connection of the jewish people to jerusalem, not as a matter of faith but as a matter of historical fact. despite unesco's ongoing shameful efforts to declare otherwise. among the most significant discoveries presently being unerted in the city of david is the ancient -- unearthed in the city of david is the ancient pilgrimage road. running from the southern tip of the city of david to the footsteps of the western wall and temple mound served as the main thorough fair of the second temple jerusalem. millions of people joined together to ascend to the temple during the festivals of passover, pent cost, and tabernacles. both the pilgrimage road an

time there nd of will be two jerusalems, a new north america in nd the old jerusalem exactly where it always has been. so in lds theology, there is no two, diction between the and i'll just mention one more a good because it's one. one of the tasks that joseph the lds prophet, said to his apostles was to travel to holy land under ottoman control and anoint the ground so the jews could return there. a plaque in ally jerusalem set up by the lds happened.re this view, a result of that more or less have always been hesitant to direct missions at jews, because they do believe in but timate reconciliation, it's a double reconciliation. t's a recognition that god has two countries, both the united tates, or at least the saints based in america, in the united states, and israel. go on but i do have to draw this to a close. housekeeping points. we do not meet next week on the ighth of october but we will meet in two weeks on monday afternoon to hear katherine coyne on her new book, immigration e problem," the reception that sam ust alluded to will actually take place right next door but one fl

special court based in jerusalem and he was the ground. the u.n. secretary general he is also overnighting in paris because he also has a meeting with president macro in the morning so i think and i can also tell you that there's a palestinian representative here in paris as well not clear to me at this stage because obviously i've only had a chance to make some calls whether the palestinians all. over this. ghazi hamad is a senior hamas official in the southern gaza strip and he told us that an israeli unit escaped to the border after the operation. well you know. there are also some of the one. which. you had or some collaborators tried to escape to go to these reporters but they are surrounded by full. brigades. that tried to cover. this guy the president or the soldiers. striking. so i think it was. actually we have about six people were killed. some was. one of them is one of the few minutes ago. i think of it was a. because. it's going to talk costs wanted to washington d.c. is joining us live. the attack coming at a time like that the u.s. w

kramer reporting for us in jerusalem thank you so much. a wildfire in northern california has now killed more than forty people making it the deadliest blaze ever to hit the u.s. state officials aren't sure how many people are missing but it could number in the hundreds of firefighters are working to tame the flames of what's being called a camp fire it's reduced the town of paradise to ashes in southern california two major fires are burning near los angeles threatening homes and infrastructure two people are confirmed dead there and thousands more have been forced to evacuate. in the line of fire. up the hillside in simi valley california as it means a freeway becomes not it's a moment of life or death for these motorists. many of them. but the speed with which to spread shows how combustible southern california is right now. i've been doing this job for thirty one years and probably in the last by maybe seven years we every year seems to get worse highly flammable the region is in severe drought los angeles pot she was a prime for. and

special coordinator based in jerusalem and he was only ground for. the u.n. secretary general he is also overnighting in paris because he also has a meeting with president macro in the morning so i think and i can also tell you. there's a palestinian representative here. in paris well not clear to me at this stage because obviously i've only had a chance to make some calls whether the palestinians also are here over in paris but clearly paris will be the focus i think to early morning meetings release a palace between the israeli prime minister and then one hour later the u.n. secretary general both for meetings with the french president ok well for now thank you very much the diplomatic editor joining in paris. well now i want to bring you another story we've been covering tonight agencies warning that the ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo could spread into neighboring countries this is the was the outbreak in the country's history with three hundred nineteen confirmed and probable cases and more than two hundred people killed by the disease

in december allonby entered jerusalem on food out of respect for the holy city. the bloodshed of greater syria was forced out allenby pressed on to take the whole of the levant and force a complete ottoman retreat. the signing of the armistice of mood ross took place on the thirtieth of october nine hundred eighty a month later the whole war was over. once jerusalem fell david ben-gurion joined a jewish regiment of the british army in london before returning to palestine to pursue his political career. ben-gurion story typifies how the war presented opportunity it wasn't so much the speed at which he transferred his allegiance it was more that he recognized that a time of radical and far reaching change was dawning in the region. a new world order was about to take shape and he wanted to be one of its architects . the first world war gave birth to three nationalist movements turkish zionist and i. and the relationship between the turks and arabs changed forever as for centuries of autumn rule ended by four years of conflict. the awakening of consciousness that gr

was born in palestine under the british mandate but lived his early life moving between cairo and jerusalem where his roots remained throughout his illustrious life. he was edward w. signed a literature professor who spent so much of his life feeling. of place. he knew how bright he was he knew how valuable he was he knew how well he spoke and how brilliantly he read as a say a scholar an ordinary man's person you know very few. academics can do that. but i mean you know he had he didn't live in palestine quote unquote you know his his life and that of his wife and i am was in europe. and of course he traveled a lot. but i think he he realized that he was the voice for other people. edward cannot aswat early in the day that the many that are you know central challenge there to us what the hell yearly when the bear is it let the young in the cold and know matthew was would love all of the and men don't know quite as little but that amity yanna sort of feeling on that that may have been some false then as an advert say it can kill her you too. i mean you. know i'm in the fair when the dog. an

he was born into a christian family in west jerusalem though he was not a religious man but this didnot stop him arguing strongly in covering islam that the western media distorts the image of islam. in the question of palestine in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine he traced the clash between two middle eastern people followed by his first book on structuralist literary critical theory here texts the book called the world the text and they pretty remains singular achievement of his literary. now after the publication of orientalism and soon after orientalism cultural imperialism that those two books became so important in the field of course grew of the studies that they overshadow his military work but the fact is that increasingly if you go from one university to another in u.s. europe the arab world etc you will see that the significance of his need to really work is increasingly coming to the surface and in fact i would even venture to say without understanding his literary disposition his preoccupation with the question of my nieces we cannot understand orientalism and. har

all right finale thank you very much harry fools that from west jerusalem. right well there is much more to everything we're covering right here is there a dot com for all the latest on our top stories breaking news and of course analysis that takes you behind the headlines but our top story this hour as you've been saying is news of. israeli special forces soldiers entering gaza the southern city of han eunice we understand that six palestinians have been killed they were targeting hamas leaders and more specifically they would targeting the senior commander of the. brigade nor baraka is reported to have been killed in these clashes we were speaking earlier to ghazi hamad to is inside gaza and he has said that this could well lead to an increase in tensions and violence in and around the strip and he confirmed that there had been hearing as strikes and that clashes had also taken place no official word yet from israeli officials on this but we know that benjamin netanyahu the israeli prime minister is in paris he's been there to mark the. of the end of worl

for us west jerusalem well precisely as we said these really cabinet holding an emergency meeting after these latest tensions what can we expect from matt how much pressure is prime minister netanyahu under for a military action. certainly he will be under pressure by certain. by certain people within that cabinet who in the past already had and had made it voice their opinion that a war in gaza is necessary or women feel those are the words for example of the defense minister avigdor lieberman a few months ago you also have enough that he bennett who also is of that opinion but prime minister netanyahu himself was just on sunday in paris and he was making the case for d's talks for trying to reach an agreement of a long term ceasefire with hamas he was actually saying there in paris that he was trying to do his best to avoid in his words and this is scary war and unnecessary loss of life so you probably will have some very robust conversations going on in that cabinet has been going on now for about three hours it probably will last another couple of hours and then we will maybe here i

near jerusalem or in the eastern part of jerusalem i don't see i don't see any reason to over exaggerate but you shouldn't meet that do to kill now. to have the trump plan being executed successfully is the last of trust between easily leadership and palestinian leadership not a single drop of trust each side whenever something is put on the table to either. repair the blame game both sides assume that the two will come to a deadlock and do real game is how to make sure that the other side will be blamed for the for you and the recently the palestinians supposedly lost trust in the american side as honest broker that's. quite cool starting point but still because i'm. optimistic in a way i think that we should always look for a way to go over the overkill in twice once again to why do we teach. sation it's better than war i spend my life fighting i tell you we are already to fight we are stronger we know how to fight but profoundly we prefer to believe. relaxation and normalization of the relationship even if there is no power. among the palestinian who is ready and capable of doing good

if you go to jerusalem you see this clearly.you see the little religious surrounded by massive israeli concrete housing projects which are built on palestinian land. bethlehem has lost most of its land to israeli settlements. this was declared by the military and then they converted this into a security zone and converted it into a settlement. clinton said no and they did and it's there. who will uproot it? who will make it possible for the organic relationship between islam and jerusalem to be restored? it's not going to happen. the sooner we deal with the reality of this and stop absolving ourselves of responsibility by saying oh, i support a two-state solution -- they say this as if somehow that makes them feel good. it is not going to happen. saying it doesn't get you off the hook. >> the man should not be for two states but for equality, justice, human rights of both people. palestinians are existing today is -- in what is an apartheid state. it is not going to be, it is. the majority of the people living between the jordan

let's bring in our guests in jerusalem yoni ben mina him political analyst in tel aviv dalia shandling columnist at last nine seventeen magazine and public opinion analyst and joining us from philadelphia on sky gil hoffman chief political correspondent of the jerusalem post welcome to the program let me start with mr yoni do you think the coalition would be able to hold together for the time being. i think for the time being they will be able to hold the coalition but i think in a few man's two or three months there will have to go to early elections because there will be a lot of pressure on the coalition the pressures from the. the other parties from the opposition and also. the security situation is not stable and. the problems in gaza are are now maybe on the low fire. i expect that the problems will start again in gaza and the government will have to take if you see actions military actions and this will bring the coalition in to a dead end and they'll have to go to early elections dalia when you look at the latest statements from the different partners of the coalition you're th

steps rather than negotiation he declared draws from as its capital moved very impressive jerusalem when you get the so couldn't be your capital as well what you like to say that when you say. what you said you remember what you saw of course i remember i said i was in the white house thirtieth of november meeting with dr cautionary and just. planning for my president to come and meet president come on december fifth he said it was not ruling out jerusalem on the part of your cup of you as well i'm going to give you facts. so mr questionnaire camorra fifty times somebody who supports thirty from the wrong but first of december you're supposed to sign on not moving them to see and he said to me you're not going to do it i said my president the cancer you want to make my president on the from the get from the six through make him look like he's communing with you he said you can do that so they can do that and if you do this if you look nice gruesome as those covered you would have disqualified yourself from it all and the best probably record the fact remains you can't get along with this

why would we have let me see actually i'm just getting an e-mail from our producer in jerusalem he's saying ace he launches of rockets identified from the gaza strip at israel and a number of them intercepted by i and. so these pictures they were not long ago it's pretty much not time now and see what else we've got coming up we've got some old we will have some pictures. to show you from gaza or do we have a live shot at the moment. let's just check the live shot and not too much to say there are voters who say it has not for now coming up twenty five past sixty but occasionally you do see that flash in the sky as the missiles out of gaza are intercepted a lot of you on facebook live watching it facebook dot com slash al-jazeera asking for some clarity well we're getting it is quickly this is what happened on the ground it seems that one of the rockets out of gaza hit a bus in israel and as a nero it was telling us just then the driver apparently has been injured no wood on anyone else but that is what has prompted a response from israel israel on its twitter feed has been talking a

that is the talk about moving the embassy to jerusalem.ing ofjerusalem as the capital, but now that is off the table, there's nothing more to negotiate, so now they," the palestinians, "will get something very good, now, because it is their turn next." that is the reality that you will have to deal with. i am very supportive. i think he is right that jerusalem has been taken off the table. and that is great news for the future of the israeli—palestinian relationship. at the end of the day, i don't want to speculate. we will see what comes and we will take it as that. i guess the fundamental problem that people in israel and outside israel ask of you, mr bennett, is what is your long—term strategic vision for your country? you are a guy who has absolutely steadfastly opposed a 2—state solution. you say you want to annex all of the land upon which thejewish settlements sit in the occupied west bank, but you don't want to offer citizenship to the palestinian population in the west bank. to many people inside israel, and one can go back to for

based in jerusalem nicholai mladin off that perhaps garza could return to a situation of all out war he's given those warnings to the u.n. security council and certainly diplomats there are concerned but there is no consensus on action and that's mainly due to the fact that the u.s. of course is a permanent member it has a veto on any resolutions at the security council and its position for now is wait wait for the u.s. is plan with regard not just to guard but the whole israeli palestinian situation that's the plan that's being drawn up we're told by president trump son in law jared kirshner but for now there's no sign of that plan being announced. ardelia sheindlin is a political analyst thank colum messed with nine seven two magazine she says the timing of this operation is suspicious. what we understand you know the army is trying very hard not to let out details about what actually happened but it makes it seem because the timing is so strange and because as you point out the prime minister was in paris also giving a press conference to israeli press arguing for why there should

hamas as a surrender to terror and resigns when did he act from a chilly we'll take you live to jerusalem. and hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough in the yemen where war has pushed the country to stop facia and we'll go live in north of the country where people are trying to survive by eating leaves. unforgettable welcome to the program. british prime minister theresa may faces one of the most challenging days of her political career she's seeking cabinet backing for high draft deals for the u.k.'s departure from the european union but senior ministers and britain's parliament are deeply divided and last night still beats between the government and brussels he's facing criticism the prime minister faced m.p.'s in a rowdy parliamentary question and answer session and the leader of the oppositions was just one of the voices challenging mrs may over the do. you know the usually breaks it negotiates a report to be told the twenty seven european ambassadors the u.k. must align their rules but the e.u. will retrain all the controls is that a fair summary of the prime minister's deal prime minist

thank you very much for now caring for say it with the latest from west jerusalem. the u.s. has renewed its call for an end to the civil war in yemen some reports say at least one hundred fifty people have been killed in the past twenty four hours street battles have brought chaos to residential areas in the main port city of a data bomb that it does has been following the story from across the red sea in djibouti. fierce fighting on one of the front lines on the fringes of the port city of data this is one of the largest bottle so far in the war in yemen for the older fighters who control what they the losing the strategic port is not an option and they are putting up a stiff resistance because i have attempted another suicide attack but it fails we are advance on. the spite on the up promises by the so the coalition and pro-government forces multiplied through bottles in some parts of the city the conflict was already and top that face in one presidential area is still the city borders lie and collect relentless bombardment to kill numerous fighters and this is the ultimat

in jerusalem tony kraemer updated us about reports that a fisherman had been killed by israeli fire today. well palestinian house officials are saying it's a twenty year old man he is a fisherman and some conflicting oppose whether you was killed at sea near the fence to israel the israeli army says he was approaching the fence music keen this is near the beach and despite giving out warning shots as they say here both being shot at according to their rules off and it doesn't seem at the moment at least at this would derail this calm tense calm you have to say of course it's always tense in a few days after what happened in the past couple of days but hamas and other militant groups at the moment are more preoccupied of saying that they having set new rules of engagement they are seeing this also as a victory having fired over four hundred rockets into israeli communities and they even go as far as saying that they brought down the defense minister and possibly even the cabinets of course this is deflecting a bit from their own question also under a lot of criticism in gaza or what this l

in a statement hamas called his resignation a victory for gaza harry fawcett has more from west jerusalem. essentially his argument is that by agreeing to this ceasefire after hundreds of hamas and other palestinian faction rockets coming out of gaza striking israeli territory striking homes killing one person in israeli territory that netanyahu has capitulated to terror he has been making such arguments in slightly more muted terms for some time calling for much harsher military action against hamas after the months of border protests of incendiary devices being launched on kites and balloons and burning israeli farmland next to the gaza border fence and he has been saying this in the sense that that israel had to do more militarily in order to secure its long term security now his critics have been saying in the past and they've been coming out again today to say that he has the luxury of being able to say that because he's been calling for war in the full knowledge that there was something of a safety net that netanyahu and the military establishment had no appetite for war so politica
