let's get the latest now on cramer joining us from jerusalem why. is it so important for israel here stories that these buildings home to so many palestinians are destroyed. well of this decision to demolish buildings this actually on the military order dating back several years ago and how the students have to challenge this military order in court over the past years no this order for hits. according to the israelis and the buildings are construction which is in close proximity to the separation barrier the security barrier as it's hold in israel now the catch is as you already said it's not this part of the land but the buildings have been. have been under construction is actually part of the occupied west bank and palestinians have sought. apartments building permits in the palestinian authority but in the eyes of israeli authorities these buildings are illegal they have been days ago in june. and demolition order and have the residents. demolishing those buildings themselves they didn't do that obviously and this is why those posts moved in thi

big new element and that's what we're going to talk about that for sure efren let me go to you in jerusalem i raise that brings up a bring a good point here i was watching the cable stations and of course the the way that north korea and its leader is characterized as the worst possible terms my question is what does it what difference does it make you want to reduce tensions on the peninsula i mean stalin and churchill and roosevelt worked to defeat fascism in europe no one was singing the praises of stalin soviet union they wanted to defeat a common enemy we have a growing coalition here north korea is a political fact kim is a political fact if you want to have peace you have to deal with both go ahead in jerusalem. yeah but no scope indeed there fagged but not very pleasant fact so it is. dictatorship that process this nuclear weapons and they. fall that he ends up with some fall. japan. look at these asian. look at his asian. as well as the nuclear he's asian of japan. only foundation of nuclear weapons is not good to this if he felt peace they'll fall by saying that it's important to

there is no terrorism that is being carried out by the palestinians by the way just a day after a jerusalem district court held the palestinian authority for terrorist attacks that murdered hundreds of israeli civilians in the years before the barrier was was created so as long as the palestinians keep trying to turn upside down international law and disobey ng it they're not going to get any results israel has the there's a very strong political current and israel to abate international law but when there are international institutions that use international rhetoric international all rhetoric in an upside down fashion which they pronounced down up and up down there is less and less respect not only in israel but around the world for these international institutions there's less respect for international law and there's certainly much less chance of reconciliation instead of telling themselves instead of palestinians tell it telling themselves that they have the right to do anything that they want to do that they can murder anyone that they want they can claim anything that they want and i

for centuries, jews have prayed facing jerusalem but have prayed for a return to jerusalem,, next year in jerusalem, each year the passover seder include john kapoor, the day of atonement. do you know that, over half of the 613 commandments in the pentateuch relate to the land of israel and can only be fulfilled in the land of israel ? the jewish connection to the land is so strong that for thousands of years, wherever jews have lived, they have prayed for rain, not where they reside, but for rain in the land of israel. but, zionism, this essential component of jewish identity, is now under attack. those who deny jews the right to self-determination, who say jews do not have a right to a jewish state in any borders in the land of israel, their criticism of israel is anti- semitic, even if it is cloaked in human rights terminology. because, if you do not believe the jewish state of israel has a right to exist, you your criticism of israel is not intended to inform the policies of the government's role. it is intended to destroy the jewish state. to accurately identify anti- semitism mas

so we pray for the peace of jerusalem. that those who love her will be secure.applause] vice pres. pence: and even as we pray, we will work for peace. president trump is committed to finding a path that can lead to a true, just, and lasting peace for israel, palestinians, and all the peoples of the region. for peace to be lasting and to be real, it must be negotiated. but peace can only be negotiated with partners who are committed to peace. hamas is a terrorist organization that seeks the destruction of israel, and the united states will never negotiate with terrorist hamas. [cheers and applause] vice pres. pence: but last week, in pursuit of peace, there was a historic conference in bahrain. after more than two years of painstaking efforts, the president's extraordinary middle east peace team led by jared kushner unveiled a new vision of how the palestinian people could be empowered to build a prosperous, vibrant, and peaceful society if they choose peace over war. now, i know the cynics out there say the president's dreams for these are too big. it is also to

embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and the reporting is that trump will not talk about a palestinian state but rather enhanced autonomy that's something that his ambassador to israel david friedman also mentioned in an interview with c.n.n. in which he talked about extending times to new ptolemy up to the point at which it could become a threat or a palestinian state could become a threat to israeli security so that's obviously far short of what the palestinians want and it's only likely to ever more cement their opposition to the united states as a broker and in particular this peace plan harry thank you very much for that harry forethought with the latest live and west jerusalem thank you. now on korean tensions are expected to be discussed at a regional summit and thailand foreign ministers from the region when i they should have been joined by the u.s. secretary of state alongside his russian and chinese counterparts scott had a report from the thai capital. as thailand hosts the foreign ministers of r.c. and regional forums this week what's due to be discussed won't just be abou
