exploding on a busy road narrowly missing cars and buses right matheson is our correspondent in west jerusalem rob just take us through this original incident what happened. well earlier on this morning we've seen the aerial bombardment by israeli planes as you said carrying out attacks in open fields in gaza but also hitting several buildings but that's was preceded by a targeted attack on this islamic jihad leader. and now he is the man that israel blames for having launched several rockets from gaza into israel about 10 days ago the time israel has responded by firing rockets back and a 27 year old palestinian man was killed at the time but it was interesting at that point because israel singled out this. leader for being responsible for this attack it did not put blame on hamas or any of the other groups that are within gaza now israeli president but not in the netanyahu has described. as saying he was poised to launch attacks against israel and that he was a ticking time bomb and that is why this targeted attack took place now the other significant think peter is that this is the 1st time

this is a historic day and another great achievement after president trump recognized jerusalem as the capital of recognize all sovereignty over golan heights and now put an end to the lie that settlements are illegal nation from jordan and from hamas we warned against dangerous consequences of the us change of position a continuation of u.s. policy to support occupation from the palestinian leadership not just anger but also a call to action that's prole is that i was a patient. war crimes and this is constituent a major threat to international peace and security and this is. international community from the rules of international law that all wars of solving conflicts by free support means and to the horrors of the. the european union and many other country saying the settlements violate human security council resolutions and undermine the chances of a 2 state solution but even with what the u.s. says are the hopes of renewed peace talks the embassy has issued a security warning knowing some could target american interests in israel and the occupied territories in protest rosalyn jor

jerusalem and the west bank let's start with that was in jordan in washington a talk as to how significant a change this is for the u.s. position. laura this is a very significant change in position this policy was 1st stud devised after analysis in the u.s. state department legal office back in 1978 so this is been on the books and u.s. policy for the most part of those 41 years yes there was a tweak in the way that ronald reagan looked at the settlements question when he was in office in the early 1980 s. but consistently ever sense when you put the question to u.s. officials do you believe that israel has the right to build settlements in the occupied west bank every official from almost every administration with saying no we do not we believe that this violates not just international law under the geneva conventions but it also violates a number of u.n. security council resolutions going back to the early 1970 s. and as long as the satellites are there it's going to be much harder to negotiate some sort of peace accord between the palestinians and the israelis and more important to cre

probably safe to fessor international law the hebrew university of jerusalem i spoke to marley or and asked if and how they political stalemate in israel will affect that now his enticement it's a sad day for israel the sitting prime minister was indicted or ever it proves that israel has a very impartial legal system and that nobody is above the law so in that sense although it's a sad occasion israelis can be proud of their dish will system. judicial systems grind very slowly so again he can claim immunity they're the guy but hasn't yet been presented to court it's a long long. as pressure on him to resign but so far he hasn't shown by medicines or any signs that he's willing to attend. and not only not showing any signs he's using language as lake like you know an attempted coup having the investigators investigated when you talk about the rule of law and the fact that in some ways it's a sad day but you see that as a silver lining in that this is the rule of law. are you troubled by him using that type of of language to sort of a demonize the judiciary somebody once accused you of

the latest in a string of controversial fight house moves designed to support israel recognizing jerusalem as israel's official capital moving the u.s. embassy there from tel aviv in 2018. and forcing the palestinians to close their office in washington leaving them no diplomatic presence in the u.s. apart from at the united nations pompei o. said the policy change had nothing to do with benny gantz efforts to form a new israeli government so the timing of this was not tied to anything that had to do with domestic politics anywhere in israel or otherwise this was about we were done we finished we conducted our review and this was the appropriate time to move forward the current israeli government was thrilled to see that this is a historic day and another great achievement after president trump recognized jerusalem as the capital of recognize all sovereignty over golan heights and now put an end to the lie that settlements are illegal condemnation from jordan and from hamas we warned against dangerous consequences of the us change of position a continuation of u.s. policy to support occupa
