new york. germany's foreign minister visited jerusalem this week where he has expressed opposition to israel's plan to annex parts of the west bank and made very clear he has the backing of the e.u. . it wasn't together with the european union were of the opinion that an extension would not be compatible with international law and that is why we continue to stand by negotiating a consensual 2 state solution. for really are this week hundreds of palestinians that gathered in the city of ramallah to ramallah excuse me to protest the israeli plan since if implemented it would bring 30 percent of the west bank under permanent israeli control the move follows donald trump's so-called peace plan for the region that recognizes israeli settlements while offering a path to palestinian statehood albeit with severe restrictions but as artie's parsley or explains it seems it's not only palestinians and the e.u. who are unhappy about the move. i'm here in the west bank in the israeli settlement of a lawn mower where where you'd expect most of the city is to be enthusiastic about prime minister benjamin net

new review. now we also saw a meeting carried out today in jerusalem between the u.s. envoy to iran and israeli officials and during that meeting the prime minister for israel spoke out and he encouraged the u.s. to turn to what he called snap back sanctions which essentially means that the u.s. would increase sanctions on iran not based on what they're doing right now but based on what they think that iran may do in the future and it's been interesting to watch here because in the past the u.s. has used against iran as a way to take those sanctions and those measures away so they could get around to agree to certain deals or even to an extended arms embargo but now the trump administration doesn't appear to be doing anything like that or to be backing off and you time soon. that's a strange punishment to be learning about richard levins thank you so much for that update i think you. are right in the age of cold at night t.v. is america on its way to becoming a cashless society we're going to discuss that with our friends at spahn and then over at sports regina hamm br
