You know watching the Palestinian Foreign minister maliki speaking at a press conference head of an emergency meeting of arab Foreign Ministers of the arab league in cairo he said that we consider this decision as if its not there its not an void and has no impact politically a decision that will never change the reality of jerusalem it is part and parcel of the palestinian territories trumps decision he said has isolated us of any role in sorting out the crisis america is being an aggressor he said not a mediator the us is a party in the dispute it is eighteen zero five fifteen zero five g. M. T. I should say you are watching the news grid and we are all getting pictures coming into us of scenes of mourning and more violence as Angus Simmons in palestinian territories over us President Donald Trump formal recognition of jerusalem israels. Funerals have been held for to him as fighters killed by israeli airstrikes of the two Palestinian Protesters who died in clashes while the latest protests have been less intense in previous days that have still been plenty of confrontations between demonstrators and Security Forces there are more developments on the diplomatic front too that the Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas has cooled off a scheduled meeting with the u. S. Vice president might pence as has egypts coptic pope so had lots of developments we have full coverage with Bernard Smith in Gaza Alan Fischer is in occupied East Jerusalem but lets begin with Hoda Abdelhamid whos monitoring things in ramallah in the occupied west bank and what a first of all lets just talk about that press conference that weve just heard the foreign minister making no bones about the palestinian position. Yes absolutely and i think the palestinians at the moment are feeling quite strong about that meeting of the u. N. Security council yesterday where basically from their point of view israel and the u. S. Were completely isolated versus the fourteen other attendees at that meeting now this is what he said this is a message of defiance students have been hammering ever since the announcement and they want to make sure to gather as much International Support as they can so certainly repeating that from cairo ahead of and bleak meeting is also very important if you if you also listen to him carefully you can see where this is all heading now the palestinians are saying that actually when it comes to the Israeli Palestinian conflict well the u. S. Now being as he said it and they grab a party to this conflict has lost its veto power i do Un Security Council and that is something i think they feel very strong about we spoke to some of the senior officials here in ramallah and they had also talked about that saying well now that the u. S. Has sort of jumped in on these really camp unconditionally and is backing it unconditionally despite the International Uproar it should not be allowed to use its veto power anymore now the palestinians have been really go trying to go all out but also here domestically youre hearing more and more about them for example earlier today the fact that Central Committee has met there was a meeting of the executive committee of the p. L. O. That was postponed until monday i think they wanted to see what was going on in cairo what statement will come out of cairo and then meet again here on monday one of the ideas also that theyre looking at very seriously we are told is the rethinking of the role of the Palestinian Authority in so. When it was created it was an interim body that was supposed to be dissolved by nine hundred ninety nine but the peace was never achieved and it has kept on for all these years after that now as one palestinian official told me very close to Mahmoud Abbas well he said were not going to be a Service Provider anymore were going to be a government of a state were not going to dissolve it but weve certainly going to rethink our role what we do and how our relations are going to be indifferent share in not only with israel and the us but with the rest of the world so this is a moment where they know they have to change something and they according to what they say. Its already in action for them to soon come up with this sort of revised Palestinian Authority body and tell the world what they will be doing with that after or thats a picture in ramallah heart of thanks very much indeed for a little bit earlier talking about the simmering sense of tension in the vatican lets cross now to alan fischer whos in occupied East Jerusalem and alan theres been a lot to and fro on the streets quite the security presence thats on the schools being me. Yeah this is saladin street is one of the busiest shopping streets youll find in jerusalem on a saturday into day there have been running confrontations between that the Security Services the police the army the Intelligence Services and. Were just getting people coming through here to someone not feeling terribly well after all is going on here today and thats understandable and protesters it started with someone who wanted to just state a small protest they had a poster of the dome of the rock they were about to move down the street they were stopped by the police who told them they didnt have a permit did only moved no more than ten meters and the police pushed them back and push them back quite harshly that sparked some protests and people roundabout at that brought in more police the police then brought in horses to try and clear the streets the horses were used to feeling as points and really terrified people then what we saw was a few hours of repeated confrontations between the Security Services and protesters we saw flags up to peoples hands we saw i saw a Police Officer punch punch a woman in the face because she would easily give up her poster there were rocks and bottles thrown at the police the Police Responded with what we just thought were. So includes but also speaking to some paramedics in the last units who find out that rubber bullets were used as well the number of people that received injuries from that now behind me is the Police Station and the Police Station thirteen people are being held after the incidents here in the last few hours whether theyll spend the night there were not entirely sure that the paramedics are actually just going in because someone who was arrested his fainted so needs some extra treatment as well but this is been an ongoing thing over several hours things are relatively quite know here there are people hanging around here waiting for news of those whove been arrested there are also families of those whove been arrested her waiting to find a use if theyre going to be released or theyre going to be held but we also saw the Police Officers not dressed in uniform but carrying cameras who were taking pictures throughout the protest as well and later on they were showing to the color. Pictures of people that he thought were throwing stones and then we saw what would essentially be said that scores which were seen one in other places where they would suddenly move forward very quickly in trying grab people that they thought were responsible and they were arrested and then brought here to see theres been a sense of calm for the last thirty minutes or so we had that experience points during the afternoon but it seems slightly more pearman and no but there certainly were quite nasty confrontations that went on for several hours and to see several people have been injured and at least thirteen people arrested all right allan thanks very much indeed we can move on now to Bernard Smith in gaza from or why these troops from to go there and burn and funerals have been held there hows the mood been today. Yeah for funerals today nic four People Killed over the last forty eight hours two people were killed in confrontations at the border fence between gaza and israel there was stone throwing was going on there yesterday and today two people were killed when israel Security Forces responded with live fire tear gas as two People Killed by live fire and then to hamas fighters were killed in israeli air strikes earlier today earlier that been the rocket launched towards israel from gaza from a group of very small group here in gaza not connected to hamas but hamas essentially controls these groups can influence how they operate and hamas that of course called for a third intifada third day in the uprising after dawn trump called recognized through slim as the capital of israel so the been less protesting today people still have been back at the borders but they still have been compensations with israeli Security Forces and israeli surging with live fire. For a better thanks very much indeed to say that we have the picture across the region lets have some of the lessons of this now we can bring in now to. Senior political analyst mark bashar hes standing by in london and you were listening to the Palestinian Foreign minister standing. In the face of everything thats been happening what did you make of what he had to say. Well there are three observations nick observation number one is that the palestinians really walk up and smell the coffee at last that they really cannot bet on the United States they certainly should not be placing all their cards. On on on us putting pressure on israel to change that status quo of occupation and the west bank and East Jerusalem and certainly palestinian bitterness that now unleashed but estonian potential to seek out turn it if solutions to that of american sponsorship. Trying to get there to the United Nations Security Council maybe even the International Criminal court so all in all a robust attempt by the palestinians responding to that humiliating decision by the ministry on. The second observation has to do with what the foreign minister said or called for arabs to come to jerusalem to descend do not go to school and im not sure thats going to go very well im not sure thats going to go down well in a lot of countries that boycott israel and sent to a lot of other countries that simply cannot go to israel and those who can like egyptians and jordanians refused to because they feel that if this starts going through till of the very court in order to go to jerusalem they are normalizing with these really enemy as it were so i think thats going to be a bit of an issue the third observation of lust that has to do with the whole idea that the palestinians are again emphasizing that the United States should not be a broker because it supports israel listen the United States has been supporting israel since before nine hundred sixty seven war it has supported it for the last forty years and it has granted israel more than one hundred fifty billion dollars since the Peace Process started in one nine hundred ninety one so we need to clean that. Niceness has not been supportive words are just not true what we did hear which is new from the from the nist ration in that speech that infamous speech is that president from has totally embraced jewish mythology and zionist rhetoric when approaching the question of israel by their side that is the United States no longer just supports israel its completely in line and in language with israel imo and given the Arab League Meeting this emergency meeting and many arab leaders did try to stop donald trump from going ahead with this decision what difference is this going to make. Well clearly the the american president did not call his counter products in the in the in the arab world in order to consult with them he called them in order to inform them of his decision because he was on the still hoping that there will not go all the way in and rejecting slash condemning slash going after the United States for it is for its deplorable decision on so i think you know how many of the skeptics will tell you and this will be another conference with more statements issued perhaps more at best condemnation whether they will come out with actionable plan thats another matter altogether so what we need to be paying attention to is not the whether there would be issuing strong statements and as much as they will be coming up with some plans of sort some strategy of sort that unites them all against a decision been taken in washington mind thanks very much and dana delany speaking more as in the days go on this mob be sure speaking to us from london we have people watching online from zambia from india from the u. K. From a laser and uganda we have a tweet from idris su says all this is done to undermine the hamas fatah unity deal to never let the peace negotiation start a facebook question from allie khan can arab league the arab league cope with israel if they dont include non arab states and one further comment from abdul who says the us has never been a mediator because they are an Interested Party to this whole thing or lets bring in our social media producer leah harding as if the discussion online is tending to something he will be speaking up sometime right well maran just mentioned boycotting countries other countries boycotting israel if you will but there are other types of boycotts that are going on as well the criticism of jerusalem being considered the capital of israel as we know is nothing new and this has been going on for years even online take for example. Google so when you search for jerusalem on their website it pops up as saying that its see israeli capital its been this way for several years we know at least since two thousand and fifteen trumps announcement however started the hash tag boycott google and people started using that google is known to be quite secretive about how and what it displays on its site this particular result is likely because of its algorithms now if you search results and you see a certain information thats usually produced based on information from other sites like from wikipedia that then show up on google but google is not the only company under fire here theres a movement thats called b. D. S. Or the boycott divestment sanctions thats being used to put pressure on israel an israeli products the group says that its aim is to end what it describes as violations of International Law some of the products the group is trying to get people to stop using are things like the sabra hummus profits h. P. Printers and caterpillar Construction Equipment noam chomsky hes a jewish philosopher and he spoke to up front with mehdi hasan that saying that theres a difference between illegal israeli settlemen
