Kremlin says the trip is meant to strengthen russian ties with these nations in ankara president putin an ado on what youve got to showcase improving relations between their countries they both criticized president all trumps decision on jerusalem but you werent really sure you. Should both russia and turkey think that the decision of the us to recognize to resell them as the capital of israel is not helping to solve the situation in the middle east it is destabilizing it and it can wipe out the prospect of peace or maybe kirby this utilitarian to tune in could. The u. S. Decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel has caused outrage in the whole world it has caused disappointment and it is an irresponsible step to take it as a result the heightened tensions are obvious putting an ad on also discussed bilateral issues including trade tourism and joint Energy Projects relations between uncrowned will score have come a long way since november two thousand and fifteen when turkey doand a russian fighter jet the two didnt see eye to eye on most issues regarding syria but still have differences on the future role of president bashar assad and the issue of Syrian Kurdish fighters the wife e. G. Put in began his wall when chip in syria the fust time the russian president was that the country since the start of the war the least seven years ago he was greeted by Senior Officers and warmly embraced by president. Potence forces have been helping his troops is two thousand and fifteen when the Syrian Government was on the brink of collapse in a speech put in declared victory over what he described as terrorists and announced a partial pullout of his soldiers from city. To the general command i give this order russias military presence in syria has come to an end the motherland awaits you friends safe journey i thank you for your service put in also pledged to continue to support syria militarily by keeping some of these forces on the ground here then departed for the egyptian capital there he met president of the fatah al sisi the leaders have been strengthening ties in recent years putting n. C. C. Also signed a deal on Nuclear Power the growing ties between russia and the second largest recipient of u. S. Military aid after israel egypt could potentially strained relations between cairo and washington and yet another sign of putting attempts to expand russias influence across the middle east mohammed at all just syria and kyra. Mark katz is a nonresident fellow at the Arab Gulf States Institute in washington d. C. Hes also a professor of government and politics at George Mason University he joins us now via skype from virginia thank you for your time so syria turkey egypt all in one day what do you what do you make of what putin is up to besides frequent flyer miles. Well i think you know that with drone syria is a more russian domestic politics that hes announced hes running for a fourth term the one thing the russian public really wants to be reassured about is that theyre not going to be stuck with another. And so i think that its this announcement hes withdrawing but also that hes somehow syria is meant to reassure them that its not going to fall further. So he also spoke out very forcefully about how he disagrees with the u. S. Decision to declared for islam the capital of israel and actually you know the past few days were spent a lot of pushback from a lot of other countries but russia was one of the last major countries we hadnt heard from star now he has said something is he trying to position himself in a way to have a role in any potential future Peace Process. Well i think that he would like russia to be seen as having such a role it is curious because i think it was last april when putin himself recognized East Jerusalem with a capital of a future palestinian state and western hussam with the capital with israel and im sure in a certain sense the trumpet ministration feels that theyre not doing anything so different from but of course the way in which they announced it is its very different and so i think though that it is certainly positioning himself as a more reasonable negotiator and that you know. Its an easy thing for for the russian president to do to resign with the arabs obviously on this issue almost low hanging fruit really so. A lot of our pick and also as we mentioned turkey and egypt getting fairly close to those countries which are u. S. Allies what does the u. S. See when they look at that. Well i think with with egypt its not so much a concern i think that. The u. S. Sees egypt is continuing to rely upon the u. S. If they also want to have relations with russia maybe washington doesnt really like it but that are not in a strong position to to object turkey i think is another issue there is theres concerns about whether turkey will remain of the Nato Alliance that turkey seems to be increasingly hostile to for america in the last on the other hand i think. While the u. S. Sees russia as moving toward turkey then theres no understanding that theres a lot of hostility differences between russia and turkey and that the relationship is probably not going to get too close because of president order was is very prickly with the west on certain issues hes probably going to be pretty with russia on certain issues as well ok mr katz mark katz thank you very much thank you anger over the u. S. Decision to recognize them as the capital of israel is still going strong thousands of hezbollah supporters took to the streets of lebanon chanting death to america. Their groups later accuse some arab nations of supporting the u. S. And all arabs to unite against america. That maybe even. We are all in this war we have all experiences our brothers in gaza any demonstrations no matter how big or small only give more resistance and will make us feel that we are not alone the american is really resolution which is supported by some arab countries the aim of it to clear the palestinian cause thats the danger that the Palestinian People face we should confront the nation as a whole should confront this dangerous american project and try to impose a solution for the Palestinian People. So you know her has more from beirut. The capital of israel in one way or the other is serving hezbollahs interests because hezbollah really has long championed the palestinian cause as its own ever since its inception. Three decades ago and as of late in the past two years come under a lot of criticism of the sauce a lot of support in the arab world and here in lebanon for militarily intervening in syria many people no longer regarded it as a Resistance Movement it became a sectarian militias and it was serving irans interests but now hezbollah saying the fight against isis is driving down the socalled resistance axis will now focus on jerusalem its main cause so in one way or another the hezbollah is trying to gain a legitimacy in the eyes of many in the arab world saying that. Arab states should support the palestinian intifada uprising he said the socalled resistance axis what they call it is resistance axis they should come together and come up with a strategy to confront israel but he stopped short of saying what action should be taken against israel because at the end of the day it will have a domestic backlash because it has opponents levanon that it cannot take any decision to wage war or peace on its own very carefully worded speech but clearly hezbollah trying. Again in one way or the other some sort of Political Capital from trumps decision. And while israels Prime Minister has urged europe to follow washington slade and recognized this countrys capital Benjamin Netanyahu met a u. Foreign ministers from brussels where he faced resistance to that suggestion and pressure to restart the Peace Process with palestinians that came reports. A wintry monday morning greeted Benjamin Netanyahu in brussels but the chill in the air outside was seemingly absent inside as he met federica. Her role as e. U. Foreign policy chief is to seek compromise where possible but his message regarding the status of jerusalem was an ambiguous i believe everyone though we dont have an agreement that this is what will happen in the future i believe that all or most of the European Countries will move their embassies to jerusalem recognize crucial in this israels work up little but many e. U. Leaders disagree criticizing president Donald Trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital as fanning the flames of protest for her part morgan any reiterated the e. U. s official position we believe. That the only realistic solution to the conflicts between israel and palestine is based on two states which it was as the capital of both the state of israel and the state of palestine along the sixty seven line. Another element of netanyahu is visit was meeting the e. U. s many Foreign Ministers around the table with him where the representatives of at least two governments have said they will recognize jerusalem as israels capital which means although the e. U. Tries to speak with one voice on this issue there are some dissenters and raising the question of how successful europe can be as an intermediary in the middle east the e. U. Is not a victim of its own lack of involvement the involvement is still there it was never front line and what wont but was there it is a victim of the one sided position of president despite all the spin that were hearing now but for the moment at least many here believe president trumps actions have put the prospect of progress in the middle east in the deep freeze don it came out zero brussels palestinians had then protesting and against a visit by a bahraini delegation to israel the Bahrain News Agency says the trip by an Interfaith Group is a personal initiative but israeli media has reported its part of efforts to strengthen ties between israel and bahrain alan fischer reports from occupy. That story behind the really delegation has kept a relatively low profile since arriving at the weekend the turned down interview requests twenty five people from expat group city want to build peace and cooperation the visit was organized by a jewish group the Simon Wiesenthal center in los angeles but one expert says the timing sends a terrible message as that ali is they were trying to do a big fuss out of this. In the media that. This group coming from bahrain and all kind of relation you know with with the arab world is. Usual they have been protests across jerusalem in the occupied west bank says donald trump and i used his unilateral decision that the u. S. Would recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel theres been widespread condemnation across the world to the group says its trip had been planned for months it was reported locally that the bahraini delegation wanted to visit a mosque while they were here a senior official at the mosque said that given the trip was facilitated by the israelis they would not be welcomed was. Of course on social media suggested the group was heading to gaza it sparked protests at the crossing with israel with locals determined to block them theres no confirmation the group ever planned to visit gaza one palestinian political analyst believes the bahraini visit is part of a bigger global picture than in the un but in maybe a moderate also they began to be many can because this is something wanted to go in there wanted to in the tool room to make in their relation with israel and america against iran because that they. Began to be notoriously ill thats difficult for us the bahraini delegation include sunni and shia muslims christians a hindu and the sikh they will leave on wednesday Alan Fischer Al Jazeera in occupied East Jerusalem.
