minister state of israel, march 1949, top -- to june, 1963. he said the state of israel proves itself not by its material wealth, not by its military might or its technical achievement, but by its moral character and human values. one of the great contributions that we have seen when our precious jewish brothers and sisters dealing with indescribable evil generated by hitler and others jumped out of the hitler and others jumped out of the burning buildings in europe and landed in the middle east where there were both jews and arabs. some of those arabs later called themselves the palestinians. , when theyn would be go with einstein and others and say, let us coexist, or would they go with others saying, let us dominate? very much like the founding of the united states and canada and new zealand and australia. all of them with democratic visions, but also settler societies concerned with expanding and ending up dominating and subordinating people who were already there. so it is, with this very, very fragile and precious experiment called the state of israel. but on the one hand

have determined that it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. well previous presidents have made this a major campaign promise they failed to deliver today ah yeah. donald trump's decision up ended decades of u.s. diplomacy both israelis and palestinians lay claim to jerusalem and trumps criticizes did not want to place peace negotiations at risk. palestinians responded with anger. in the wake of the announcement palestinian protesters clashed with israeli security forces. the decision was welcomed by many israelis who've always regarded jerusalem as israel's attorney and undivided capital and the palestinians the move means giving up hope that east jerusalem would be the capital of a future palestinian state. the us appears to have extended formal recognition of israel's occupation of the west bank and it's an extension of east jerusalem which began more than fifty years ago. in one thousand nine hundred forty nine after the arab israeli war a line of demarcation was drawn in green ink under the armistice agreements the line divided the land and the

how is that in america's interest and how is that in israel's interest both question both countries same question go ahead greg in philadelphia. so on the american side we see that effectively we've been recognizing through solicitors capital since nine hundred forty nine american presidents secretaries of state and other diplomats often visit their israel's parliaments there the prime minister's office the president's office and the supreme court so after thirty years of peace processing from when george schultz announced that the p.l.o. was the representative the palestinian people back in eighty eight until today we've seen a process where america has taken the position of a neutral arbiter between the palestinians and the israelis and has gotten us anywhere and fact and so far as the palestinians have been able to get concession after concession from the israelis they've responded with violence so i think what trump is doing is he's flipping the peace paradigm on its head instead of instead of making israel make concessions he's saying to the palestinians the future of american

precedence in this country in that the president is about to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. of course, it is something that he said he would do during the campaign. he's making good on a campaign props. as you mentioned it does threaten to blow up the middle east peace process because so many palestinians recognize east jerusalem as the capital of what they hope to be as a future state of palestine for the palestinian people and asked about this just a little highway ago, the president was meeting with his cabinet earlier today, and he was asked whether or not this will affect the middle east peace process, he said he'll talk about that here in a few moments. but undoubtedly when you look around the world from the pope to the palestinians and just about every u.s. ally in between, there are grave concerns about what the president is about to do here. >> certainly are. we're going to stand by and momentarily we'll hear directly from the president over there at the white house. jim acosta, thanks. we'll get back to you. meanwhile trump administration officials admit it could

today marks the beginning of a new approach to conflict between israel and the palestinians. in 1995, congress adopted the jerusalem embassy act urging the federal government to relocate the american embassy to jerusalem and to recognize that that city, and so importantly is israel's capital this. act passed congress by an overwhelming bipartisan majority and was reaffirmed by unanimous vote of the senate only six months ago. yet for over 20 years, every previous american president has exercised the law's waiver, refusing to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem or to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital city. presidents issued these waivers under the belief that delaying the recognition of jerusalem would advance the cause of peace. some say they lacked courage, but they made their best judgment based on facts as they understood them at the time. nevertheless, the record is in. after more than two decades of waivers, we are no closer to a lasting peace agreement between israel and the palestinians. it would be folly to assume that repeating the exact same formula would now produce a

states and that's why us policy towards israel has been so one sided on the contrary the main people who support this are the largest part of trump's base american evangelical christians and they supported for a reason that will sound crazy looked at for the out from the outside they believe in the apocalypse they believe that armageddon has to happen in the middle east if they believe that there has to be a gigantic war there at the end of which the messiah will come and all the jews who haven't converted will go to hell so this is actually a deeply anti-semitic group of people i've met some of them it's astonishing but it is by no means a decision either of the majority of the jewish people or in our interests at all and in any event those are key voters. for donald trump part of his so-called base so they're the only people who are one hundred percent behind him at this point alan posner amongst those who condemned this decision within the united states are all but two of the last eleven u.s. ambassadors to israel and a number of them told the new york times that even if as you sa
