As the capital of israel and palestine from the un to uncurl leaders warn the decision will further d. Stabilize the middle east. Palestinians have been protesting the move their leaders in the occupied west bank and gaza are calling for three days the carraige. Us president has officially recognized them as the capital of israel and has directed officials to begin preparations to move the American Embassy there from tel aviv move a strong wife spread condemnation palestinian leaders are calling for three days of rage a White House Correspondent kimberly how could. More than twenty years ago the u. S. Congress recognize jerusalem as israels capital and with that the relocation of the u. S. Embassy there from tel aviv but every u. S. President since bill clinton has blocked it from happening a till now i have determined. That it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel its an historic Foreign Policy term for the United States but the white house says reflects a political reality given jerusalem is the seat of the Israeli Government trump denies this will harm ongoing u. S. Peace efforts we are not taking a position of any final status issues including the specific boundaries of the israeli sovereignty in jerusalem or the resolution of contested borders those questions are up to the parties involved many people overseas and in washington disagree and have warned the u. S. President not to break with decades of historical precedence the way its painted perceived in the region particularly by the by they are a publics is going to be problematic for the United States and will raise further questions about whether the whether or not the United States can be an honest broker in working out an arrangement between israel and the palestinians many people argue this has little to do with peace or security but instead is about boosting the political standing of a beleaguered american president for months the Trump Administration has been dealing with the impact of a scandal that seemed former top officials criminally charged god bless israel god bless the palestinians and so the jerusalem announcement breaking decades of protocol allows try to keep a Campaign Promise and refocus attention on his policies he won the election not in washington he won it in wisconsin and michigan and places like that and what he said was the problem is with washington and if he didnt do this he would becoming part of washington in so. Therefore his own base not not on this issue but on keeping your word is important. But white house officials admit it could be years before the embassy moves which virtually insurers this will be an issue in the next president ial election kimberly helped get aljazeera Washington Well and fisher joins us now live from the white house alan some of the reaction for a stateside. Well if you speak to some republicans they say look theres no difference from what donald trump has done here toward barack obama did in cuba essentially seeing what weve tried for a very long time hasnt what we need to do something to change the dynamic of course that argument would hold a lot more water if those republicans were the ones who said what barack obama did was wrong but they think they need to do something to change the situation in the middle east and they believe that this is a step to do that they see practically nothing changes the u. S. Embassy for the moment remains in tel aviv. Really government institutions remain in jerusalem and it could be several years before we come even close to opening the doors of a u. S. Embassy in jerusalem if that ever happens because the next president and that could be in three years time might well sign a declaration saying no this isnt going to happen but this is just a recognition of something that was passed many years ago in a bipartisan nature by the u. S. House of congress and they said we want to move the embassy to the United States to jerusalem there is of course a bit of donald trump showmanship when he made the announcement he said other president s have said theyre going to do this some say they werent brave enough to do it which is century emceeing brave i am on the other side the democrats havent been quite so vocal senator mark warner perhaps the most outspoken person he sits on the Intelligence Committee saying that this is a very bad idea because our allies dont want this and we dont think that this will help the situation but as far as donald trump and his administration they think this is them yet again taking another box and seeing something we promised during the campaign and something were delivering on so alan if this is then by being seen to have political courage i am at home is there any sense of tall of just how much the pain is out of the grenade if i can use that phrase on such an explosive issue in the middle east itself. Well donald trump was briefed by many people and he did a number of phone calls with World Leaders on tuesday who said look this isnt a good idea this will cause real problems we dont want you doing this just know please back off but he was determined to do it and certainly we saw an indication that we can do one is son in law jerry couche no hes also one of his key advisers the man charged with trying to bring together some sort of middle east peace plan spoke at a conference in washington d. C. In sunday and said the president is going to make this announcement and then well see where that takes is so theres still got to be a lot of negotiation mike pence the Vice President is being sent to the middle east in the coming weeks probably within the next week or so and he will speak to a number of people there and explain the thinking behind the decision by donald trump but interestingly enough there has been a widespread security alert sent to almost every embassy that the u. S. Owns around the world putting them on the highest possible security alert the last time that happened on such a scale march two thousand and three at the beginning of the iraq war alan fischer there joining me live from the white house allan thank you. Donald trumps announcement has already prompted protests in gaza the same inspiration was organized by different palestinian factions which called for palestinian unity the protest has burned american and israeli flags they also waved palestinian flags and banners proclaiming jerusalem caught our eternal capital calling it the red line the leaders the palestine and israel have very different reactions to the announcement. You want to harken want to know my Palestinian People we are going through very difficult times after the decision made by the u. S. Administration regarding jerusalem they have chosen to contradict all International Resolutions and ignore all International Positions which have been expressed by many other countries and leaders over the last few days. All the efforts towards peace have been ignored this is a reward to israel and further encourages the occupation of the state of palestine the president s decision is an important step towards peace for there is no peace that doesnt include jerusalem as the capital of the state of israel i call on all countries that seek peace to join the United States in recognizing jerusalem as israels capital and to move their embassies here. I sure President Trumps commitment to advancing peace between israel and all of our neighbors including the palestinians this is been our goal from israels for us. And we will continue to work with the president and his team to make that dream of peace come true Harry Fawcett has the latest now from west jerusalem where Benjamin Netanyahu was framing this in his response as a historical milestone in jerusalem what he called jerusalem is already glorious history he said that this was a courageous and just decision by donald trump he also directly thanked the u. S. President and said that this would be remembered forever by the jewish people and the jewish state he also liked old trump talked about this being a way towards peace that there could be no peace without the recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital and that this was a route towards finding that peace with the palestinians that is somewhat baffling to many i think on the other side given the fact that the palestinian leadership has so uniformly condemned this move and has talked about it disqualifying the United States from being an honest broker in any Peace Process and the talk of convening a meeting of these most Senior Leadership and making a strategic decision in the coming days about how its relationship with the United States will be going forwards and as well as that you have to consider the hundreds of thousands of palestinians who live in East Jerusalem and view it as their capital listening to this speech by doldrum despite his affirmations that there would be no free decision as far as in those states was concerned about the final status of jerusalem and the final bounds of israeli sovereignty there there wasnt any of the same emotional content in terms of how israel was linked to jerusalem he didnt say anything equating that on the palestinian side so from that perspective to. Seeing this moment as a step towards peace it will be a very hard thing for many palestinians to do still to come here on our. Protests to gather outside the Earth Embassy in ankara to show their opposition to the americans.

President spends trying can have on countless lives around the globe hes completely and just against.

Are mind of the top stories here on aljazeera president all chung has confirmed his highly controversial decision to recognize terrorists as israels capital and move the American Embassy there and tell them that the testers had been on the streets of palestine long before the announcement the arab league says it will hold an emergency meeting today.

Mike hanna joins us live from the United Nations headquarters in new york mike is still several countries are now calling for there to be a meeting whats been the general reaction well theres been great disturbance at the United Nations throughout the day this announcement had been a long time in coming it has been discussed for quite a period of time however still with the announcement though the reality of the fact that the u. S. Was now reversing decades of policy and recognizing jerusalem as capital of israel the realities seep told him lots of discussions going on in the corridors of the United Nations earlier in the day the bolivian ambassador said that should the announcement go ahead he would call for an immediate Security Council meeting well now there have been a number of countries that have joined bolivia in officially calling for an emergency meeting among them france the United Kingdom sweden as well as bolivia and europe why so that meeting will be going ahead when were not quite sure they wanted they say to go ahead as soon as possible well know an exact date or time possibly it will be taking place within the next twenty four hours but certainly this is a reflection of how deeply and with what deep concern u. N. Members view President Trumps announcement mike what are the options whats likely to emerge from such a meeting. Well once again weve had numerous Security Council meetings between ng to israel over the years and in most of the cases in fact virtually all the cases if there has been any criticism of israel or condemnation of israel for any of those acts the us has been quick to wield its veto as a permanent member of the Security Council in fact in the past fifteen years theres only one occasion on which the u. S. Withheld its veto in a resolution condemning israel that was a resolution concerning the illegality of israeli settlements which was passed in december the Obama Administration on that occasion for the first time withholding the veto but given that this is a u. S. Move by the Trump Administration should any nation attempt to draw up a resolution to get it voted on then there will be at the end of that without any doubt whatsoever the veto coming from the United States like our there live from the u. N. Mike thank you. And france and cutter have joined International Condemnation of trumps decision. To hold with a horrible call todays decision condemns to death all the steps taken for peace the United States has a very Important Role in the Peace Process forward and part of it is to be impartial but until we reach a peaceful resolution. Sitting this is you it is a regrettable decision and that france does not approve of and which contributes International Law in the un Security Council resolutions.

S. Was a sponsor of the Peace Process now early on in the day president ridge of tabor underground also spoke on mentees warriors to a growing chorus of condemnation saying that the u. S.
