who s been working to try and broker middle east peace deal for several monos now. that seems like it s almost in the can because of this move. domestically this is something that obviously really helps the president s base. he s this is something that reverses decades of american foreign policy. it may have the possibilities of escalating tensions even further in the region especially between iran and israel, but here it s certainly a move that will invigorate the president s supporters and something they ll be keeping a close eye on today. and it s very much about his base decisions that he s making lately. i m going to talk to you again at the bottom of the hour. thank you, gabby. much more on today s embassy move. april s military is bracing for violence in gaza and the west bank. we ll get a live report once again. plus, john kelly seems to take a page out of president trump s play book. what the chief of staff has to say about the white house press
recognize jerusalem as israel s capital and move the u.s. embassy there from tel aviv. it s not an actual new facility, at least not yet. the american delegation which includes ivanka trump and jared kushner and also steve mnuchin. it also includes john sullivan and others. they arrived in a tense jerusalem yesterday. they were greeted by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. and protesters are expected to take part in protests and hamas has called on tens of thousands of people to join in and has end katsed they may try to breach the border. they ve doubled the amount of troops stationed along that border. it s following several violent clashes which broke out over the weekend including in gaza and at the temple mount in jerusalem.
and keep it quick, the first one is for me, why the ceremony at all? it seems like it s almost an intentional alienation of all these protesters that we re seeing. yeah, when you look at who s attending from the representatives and the speakers that are going to be at that ceremony it s not a lot of diversity in reflecting israel s di v diversity or the america diversity. you don t have any representatives of other faiths represented there so you get a sense really that this is an allegiance that is emerging between the american administration and this right wing government here in israel between evangelicals and the hard core settler movement. so very controversial with some of the pastors that are going to be speaking today as well. and we go way back, you ve done things in gaza that i don t know any other reporter has
xfinity. the future of awesome. if you re not prepared to recognize the jerusalem is the capital of israel and that s where the american embassy should be, then you re operating on a completely different wave length. i think recognizing reality always enhances the chances for peace. all right. welcome back, everybody. that was national security advisor john bolton talking about the israel embassy move. i want to go back to our colleague who s standing by for us in jerusalem. on the one hand there s the israeli side of things and what they believe and obviously now what the americans believe just hearing from john bolton there and then there is the palestinian side and of course what is happening in gaza which is really ground zero for everything and really what hamas is advising the palestinians to do going forward, talk to me about what you ve been hearing from the ground there with regards to gaza specifically.
