the muslim brotherhood had to leave. they no longer had any consent from the egyptian people to leave. there was no process of impeachment in egypt. this is the only avenue left to the egyptian people. the muslim brotherhood left. and in stepped the military led by general alcici. the egyptian people then conducted democratic elections and the general was elected as the first president of the modern state of egypt. he is the president now. he has been engaged in a very serious struggle with the muslim brotherhood. he has worked with them, their violent protests continued and remarkably now the president has been able to bring down dramatically the level of violence for the muslim brotherhood, the streets are far safer today in egypt than they were before. and it came at a price. it came at a price of many deaths in egypt, but now we're seeing more peace. and it's because of the work of the president on the border with gaza that we have seen a dramatic decrease in weapons, munitions and, most particularly, $2 billion goin

so initially they exempted the muslim brotherhood from their ban. they didn't athrow to operate as a political party, but they kind of lifted the prohibition on it and let it operate. well, it appears to be the case that the brotherhood, some of the brotherhood took this situation not with a sense of relief that okay now we can organize again and the ban against us is dropped, but they were ambitious, and they said well gee, the officers made a coup and came to power, maybe that's what we should do. so they in 1954, muslim brother attempted to assassinate the leader of the military revolutionary command council. this was an unfortunate event for many reasons, for the brotherhood in particular, there may have been members of the brotherhood that didn't know about this. wouldn't have been in favor of it, but the particular people who carried it out brought a great deal of -- badness on the wheel movement. moreover the attempt failed. so then the full rath of nasser was visited object muslim brotherhood. mass arrests, trials, people were jailed and some

you witnessed the revolution of 35 million egyptians, mostly muslim overthrow the muslim brotherhood president morsi. but why would a country with 80% muslims overthrow the muslim brotherhood? >> thank you for inviting me to your show. and i'd like to say egyptians by nature are very moderate people. i came to america like 27 years ago. but the time before that when i used to live in egypt we used to live like in the common land, share everything and have no problem. i graduated from a college of engineering and then my colleagues come to my house and spend the night study together, eat together, go out together, we have no problem. and this problem started when they started this radical group spread all over the middle east. and mainly the brotherhood because in the time of sadat he released some of them from jail and gave them freedom to do just anything to oppose communist in the country. when they started to get stronger, they killed him. when mubarack came he started playing between the two sides and finally they planned this general evolution and the evolution in january was rea

membership in the muslim brotherhood is itself a crime. we'll see who is allowed to run for elections when they have parliamentary elections this fall. the muslim brotherhood was ostensibly outlawed under president mubarak-- money arek but over time they reached an a cometation and certain number of organizations were allowed to run for parliament. >> rose: over time. >> yeah, over time. and i think, i think there are some people around the current government who foresee something similar. who understand that if you want to have stability you have to cut a deal and give them at least some seat at the table even if it is a minority one. the question is whether or not the muslim brotherhood and its supporters are ready to accept that any time soon after you've had the presidency. >> you also were in libya. let's go to libya. >> sure. >> we now see that they have, united states has and brought from libya to the united states abu khatalla ahmed abu khatalla. and he's peered in court. he has a public defender. he's pleaded not guilty. he says h

the muslim brotherhood was banned. leaders were put in jail. some now face death sentences.ut for some egyptians, sisi is seen as savior. in june, he was elected president. the former military chief has rejected calls for reconciliation with the muslim brotherhood an his government continues clamp down on dissent has raised concerns from the international community. erica wood, al jazeera. >> well, john chokroft is a professor much history. good to have you with us. it's interesting when we see those pictures of protests going on egypt. a rebate survey indicates that most egyptians are pretty happy with military rule. why is that? is that because that's protocol much the only thing they have known for the past few decades? >> i think you need to be careful with the surveys. it is a test of persistence of the pro-morsi or the cap asty of protesters to say we want the return of an elected presidency. this has been going on since august, 2014, in the face of a massive campaign of repress. it's difficult for those protesters to get into the public in order to protest. again, on

the muslim brotherhood in egypt has nothing to do with the muslim brotherhood in turkey or the muslimneighboring due tease ya. -- tunisia. again, the muslim brotherhood is an islamist organization. and as i mentioned earlier, islamism is a nationalistic ideology. it is solely concerned with the nation-state. that's why when you hear scholars and media professionals refer to the muslim brotherhood, they will always say the egyptian muslim brotherhood or the tunisian muslim brotherhood or the algerian muslim brotherhood because they are different. the algerian muslim brotherhood only cares about algeria. they couldn't care less about egypt. the muslim brotherhood in egypt only cares about egypt, they don't care about turkey. their concerns are nationalistic. jihadistism, the opposite of islamism, jihaddism is a transnational organization. that's a movement that can be seen as having a kind of umbrella ideology even when they are against each other. i've mentioned isis and al-qaeda a couple of times because those are the two most famous jihadist organizations. but what is really fascinat

his claim it's absolute because i have never met anybody in the muslim brotherhood i'm not in the muslim brotherhood i've never gone to egypt i've never associated there has not been one statement at all but tributed to be a spouse any violent views or any views of the most of brotherhood at all and i would not know them and i'm not i'm not any were affiliated with them so to play a major role in the muslim brotherhood is absolutely ridiculous it does sound very inflammatory and baseless you know as you mentioned before and there's there's absolutely nothing in your past that could warrant this type of a green just surveillance which leads me to believe or i guess the question why you five i mean you all are muslim most of americans do you think that this fine has to do with religion i think i asked you i think it's a factor that we're almost them and we're all in actively involved one way or the other in politics and civic affairs and i think that somebody in the government is . is afraid of that doesn't want that to happen there's something going on there but yeah absolutely there is n

i remember there was a coup last year when the muslim brotherhood, mohammad morrissey was the presidentd from power. >> jon: i am familiar. >> the military took over. they basically want to shut down any defense against the government. so our guys were still operating in egypt quietly, but we were still operating there. they came through the hotel door. they called us the marriott shell and they arrested the three guys in the marriott cell. >> jon: they called you marriott cell, as though you were in the marriott sleeper cell. >> yes, the marriott hotel. >> jon: you always have to stay at the days inn. >> now we know. >> jon: that's your problem. >> so they've been in prison ever since. this is 2005 days today. >> jon: let me get their names. i think it's important. peter greste, australian. >> bar muhammad is egyptian and muhammad fatmy is half canadian and half egyptian. >> one of these gentlemen is in the hospital? >> yes, muhammad had a dislocated shoulder and it became broken while he was being transferred. >> jon: people can slip and fall. >> they can slip. >> jon: sure. >> they w

and current egyptian leadership is at war with the muslim brotherhood. so there's a reluctance both from hamas and egypt to step into that role. but it is now egypt, cairo is now stepping in and i think we will see more involvement and more action on this diplomatic front now. >> thank you very much there in jerusalem. and let's cross now to cairo and get more on egypt's attempts to broker peace between the two sides. we can speak to ashlaf, who is in cairo. what do we know about egypt's efforts behind the scenes? >> very little beyond some very shallow rhetoric at this point, has said e government egypt will be involved, egypt's internal issues will not get in the way of it until playing traditional role of broker because now the governor is internal floikoused and has their own pile of domestic issues to worry about. but as aris just said, this is not the same hamas/cairo relationship that had been in the past. under previous president mohammed morrissey and even going back to mubarak, there was a strong link between cairo and hamas that was activated

egypt is no longer controlled by the muslim brotherhood. the muslim brotherhood isn't as popular. think hamas felt isolated. one of the big reasons hamas is fighting this war is to the try to break its isolation. to put its case back in the news. to put it back on the arab television stations. so far that's working. if you watch al jazeera they are not covering the downed airliner nearly as much as they are covering the ground invasion here in the gaza strip. they have to be careful drawing in public support, creating aggression against israel. but i don't think they need to be as worried as they were when the arab spring was under way. next door in egypt was the muslim brotherhood in power. >> the old david and goliath story. anyway, thank you andrea mitchell and richard engel. >>> up next the shooting down of the malaysian airliner over ukraine. the white house reaction coming up next and the investigation which looks to me like it's getting places very quickly. finding out who did this. we'll be right back. of the services your vehicle needs. so prepare your car for any road tr

the last time there was this violence, and that was because the muslim brotherhood leaders in egypt had affirmative relationships with the hamas leaders. that is not longer truth, since the moss lumb brotherhood is yacht lewed in egypt and the kro ud in power, the cc former military government, doesn't have any relationship with hamas. that's a difference, were ut there are other states in the region. we don't -- by the way, p.s., we don't have a relationship with hamas either. we've called it a terrorist organization, and do with the palestinian authority. that's what john kerry was talking about when he saided the political wing and the military wing. hopefully will get together norm. bottom line, there needs to be a cease-fire, a political solution and the then there needs to be certainly, this is my view, a

the muslim brotherhood was band and leaders put in jail, and some now face death sentences.he si si is seen as a savior and in june elected president and rejected calls for reconciliation with muslim brotherhood and they clamp down on decent and has concerns from the international community. >> and we have an associate professor on the history and politics of imperilism and is live from london and since 1952 egypt has been led by strong men with military background. why is egypt predisposed to military rule? >> well, in the long view, and i'm a historian, egypt is not necessarily predisposed to military rule. as i've said before the military gained a position in national life in the post independence period on the back of a series of achievements, national independence, bad arasism and socio economic division and this is over time and looking in the long view of course there are reasons why it is still there, it owns a significant chunk of the economy, it manages to persuade people that a strong man is required. but if you speak to ordinary people, when they say like your la

it is almost the little brother of the muslim brotherhood. they are very suspicious of cairo. they are going to be slow to accept something from cairo. in israel, the hardliners were opposed to the slow start to the campaign. these are hardliners within the cabinet. there are press conferences this afternoon from party members within the coalition government to criticize the government for signing -- for agreeing to this cease-fire. we can see divisions on both sides. is inve to say the ball the court of hamas. >> thank you. militants have fired more than 900 rockets into the territory. israel has launched airstrikes that have killed more than 185 palestinian's. our correspondent has been out in the gaza strip with the ambulance teams that have been working around the clock. >> ambulance workers drive at frightening speeds when it comes to saving someone's life. every second counts. what happened? >> there was an airstrike. >> take a trip into the unknown. do not know where they will be heading to what they will find. local say that a missile hit an apartment in the building.

so he was supporting the muslim brotherhood against the people who took the muslim brotherhood out and he was against the more secular government -- and i'm not saying military rule is good but they are the only ones who can stand up to the tyrants. the only people in an islamic state that can stand up to the humaney style regime or saudi style regime, only one regime that can stand up to them and it's the military and this man was criticizing the people who took out the muslim brotherhood and he was critical of the christian minority in egypt that's being slaughtered in egypt today. the message to egypt was america is against our freedom. their people are supporting the muslim brotherhood. that's the message. it has never happened in history. america was always on the side of people who are for freedom and in the last few years we have been siding with the wrong people. and this is -- a very delicate situation. by the way, i'm not try to just criticize obama. mistakes happen. but what happened is obama has taken it to a totally new level totally new level. we have been trying to appea

the muslim brotherhood who had some clout with hamas. it is not the muslim brotherhood anymore. you know, we're in a whole new world. and there's no one to broker the peace. so what happens now? the entire world screams, you've got to quit killing the children! the entire world screams, you have to stop throwing -- lobbing rockets into israel on innocents. the whole world screams those things, and yet what's politically expedient for the two sides right now is for this to continue. there is no military solution to this problem, and every thinking person knows it. there's a political solution, and the political solution won't happen until both sides really do want a two-state solution. until both sides really do want peace. the evidence today suggests the facts today suggest that is not where we are. that today we're in the middle of a war in the middle east. we're in week four with no end in sight. honey, look i got one to land. uh-huh. (vo) there's good more... honey, look at all these smart rewards points verizon just gave me. ooh, you got a buddy. i'm like a statue. i just si

hamas is the palestinian muslim brotherhood. certainly, on the israeli side, you have far right religious groups that see the west bank and gaza as today a and samaria and being their rifle land. -- judea and samaria as being their rightful land given to them by god. this is a conflict about completing claims on territory -- competing claims on territory. we should not make it into this metaphysical thing where they hate each other so much and they will never be able to resolve it. they have come close two resolutions at various points, certainly in 2000. there is a big debate about how close they were. we do know what a solution looks like. that is what is so frustrating and tragic about this. we do know what a two state solution looks like. the vast majority of the west bank and gaza, 95%, would go to the new palestinian state. and there would be some kind of shared sovereignty with jerusalem. the israelis would have to give something up on that. it would be some kind of right of return, likely symbolic, through compensation,
