netanyahu and the rest of the likud party to try to take this to the knesset to try to get it passed into law we've spoken to many analysts the however who say that this in fact is not a binding resolution and that there is no way that such an inflammatory resolution would actually get to the knesset in its current form we've also spoken to arab members of parliament and they've said that if this resolution were to go to the knesset in its current form that that would really signal an into the peace process that it would really mean that there was no more attempt to try to find a two state solution to the crisis here now what is important also is what exactly is prime minister benjamin netanyahu going to do next is he going to endorse this what is he going to say many more questions at this hour than answers but a lot of other analysts that we've spoken with throughout the day in the run up to the vote have said that they really believe that this is more of a cynical political calculus a way for the likud central committee to really rally the faithful especially at a time when just w

netanyahu so speaking to his two allies here at the world economic forum his speech much awaited tomorrow we'll have to see how it goes down bated breath at the moment definitely and for sure now we know it's not going to be an easy one especially because some are really not happy that he's there in the first place what can we expect for tomorrow. we can expect it to be a message of america first donald trump will concentrate on successes at home because he doesn't have those successes to trump it in terms of his foreign policy so he'll talk about the stock market its gains and tax reform as well they'll be two of the main talking points in that speech and you'll be there covering it for us thank you very much on humphrey from davos. and the us president also hosted a dinner for leading european c.e.o.'s trump is hoping to attract more foreign investment despite his america first policies that many in the business community finds divisive the u.s. president's measures to protect american industry may cause foreign companies to lose out some of the guests include of the c.e.o.'s of tech gi

netanyahu approved a draft resolution calling for large parts of the occupied west bank to be an excess. has more from kafr acts up in occupied east jerusalem. there are so many questions being asked about the impact of this new law what we do know for sure is that number one this law would mean that a supermajority or eighty of one hundred twenty knesset members would be needed for approval of any future legislation when it comes to giving up territory in jerusalem that's instead of the sixty one or simple majority members of the knesset that are needed or that were needed before now that makes a big difference because in effect that essentially takes a ruthless off the negotiating table and any future peace talks now the second and perhaps more contentious issue this brings up is that this could potentially allow for the changing of jerusalem's municipal borders that means that neighborhoods like one behind me call for. as well as a refugee camp neighborhoods that are both behind the wall they would no longer potentially be part of the jerusalem municipality that raises a lot of quest

i understand the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is now weighing in. what is he saying? >> reporter: he responded a short time ago, but, first, what he responded to, the speech from palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas was an angry speech, a defiant speech. and he didn't just lash out at the u.s., it seems he lashed out at many other players, the british, the europeans, other arab states, he didn't mention those by name, but it was israel and the u.s. that faced the brunt of his criticism. here is part of what abbas said. he said, we will not accept the u.s. as a mediator after what they did. the american ambassador to israel david friedman and the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley bring shame on the administration if it has any self-respect. this was a nearly two hour speech and that's just a sample of some of the rhetoric he used. it is important to realize this speech wasn't about foreign policy, it wasn't about charting a new course for palestinians in the plo. this was a speech directly to the palestinian streak, where abbas' popularity has been waini

he mentioned it here because he was meeting a very friendly meeting with benjamin netanyahu as he begins his day here at the world economic forum in davos, but it certainly raises the question, john, how middle east peace will ever become unfrozen, unstuck here. the president said he has a proposal, did not say what that was, but certainly, outrage across the palestinian leadership, and the arab world about all of this. middle east peace looks more elusive than ever. >> jeff zeleny in davos, thank you for the reporting. the president also met with british prime minister theresa may and delivers a speech tomorrow. the america first president is somewhat of an odd fit at a gathering that extolls global trade and cooperation, but he says his message in davos is simple. >> peace and prosperity, peace and prosperity. >> with us is maggie haberman with "the new york times," jonathan martin also of "the new york times", and robert italia with "bloomberg." again, just the idea that the president, number one, wants to say this publicly right now, number two, at davos, where people are saying here

one of president trump's first meetings in davos will be with benjamin netanyahu. for years, the u.s. and israel have had a very close bond. but now it is time to use this relationship but the question is, is this the time to use this relationship to potentially reshape a very volatile middle east. that's the premise of an op-ed column by james in a bloomberg view piece. he lays out the ways he believes the ways the united states can help israel as iran rises to a regional power. welcome. great to have you here in the newsroom. walk you through this, general. what's the premise? >> i was in israel last week. i spoke with a number of active and retired senior israelis. they would tell you there have been more changes in the last two years than since the seventh century when islam split into sunni and shia. >> what does the change mean? >> the change is the rise of iran and the possibility of israel partnering with the sunni arab states. they already partnered with jordan and with egypt. but stephanie, how about with vara? h saudi arabia? how about with the gulf stat

and it was just very briefly and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. this now he was trying to build on that relationship now he's already left for the world economic forum devil's. that's right. maybe american presidents thing can discuss a lot about jerusalem the other things that we sort this meeting is it. washington interests are on the same page about iran and that's what it mike penn state he promised that america would not allow iran's becomome nw to go yoyou. and that's what it the israeli prime minister will be talking about in doubles your reporting that for his position about the iran deal fix it only exists as he puts itt and that'ss what hs going to be campaigning on. when he makes hopes to me donald trump the davos and other american officials as well of course. isn't that opposing at at now european union has removed eight countries for a tax haven blacklists off the government stretch to do more to crack down on the problem. that decision came under fire from groups like oxfam who say the ease commitment to tackle tax avoidance after t

during a meeting with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, mr trump was asked if talks can resume with the palestinians. this was his answer. when they disrespected us a week ago by not allowing our great vice president to see them, when we give them hundreds of millions of dollars in aid and support, tremendous numbers, numbers that nobody understands, that money is on the table. that money is not going to them unless they sit down and negotiate peace, because i can tell you that israel does want to make peace. and they're going to have to want to make peace too, or we will have nothing to do with it any longer. donald trump also met theresa may. it hasn't been plain sailing for them. when donald trump retweeted a british far—right group in november, the prime minister said this. i'm very clear that retweeting from britain first was the wrong thing to do. to which donald trump replied "@theresa—may, don't focus on me, focus on the destructive radical islamic terrorism that is taking place within the united kingdom. we are doing just fine!" also, the president cancelled a visi

netanyahu. so what do the palestinians do now? my guest today is mahmoud zahar, co—founder of the islamist movement hamas, which controls gaza and has been at loggerheads with the palestinian authority in the west bank for more than a decade. are the palestinians staring defeat in the face? mahmoud zahar, in gaza, welcome to hardtalk. most welcome. i have to begin by asking you about your frame of mind, your spirit at the beginning of this new year, 2018. i look at the diplomatic, the political and the economic situation in gaza and i can barely imagine anything more bleak. is that the way you feel too? first of all, i'd like to address that this is one of the most important points in our history. yes, our life is very miserable, not because of bad management from our side but because of the crime committed by the israeli occupation and by the cooperation of the palestinian authority with them, and lastly by the impact of the international community represented mainly by mr trump against our h

netanyahu a short while ago. he took the unusual step of criticizing the democrats with a closure with members of the armed services directly behind him. nbc's andrea mitchell has that report including an exclusive sit down with mr. pence. >> reporter: the vice-president offering troops an unusually partisan message at a u.s. air base near the syrian border. >> a minority in the senate has decided to play politics with military pay. but you deserve better. >> reporter: and he said the white house won't negotiate on immigration until the democrats reopen the government. >>> aren't the republicans in control of the senate? they've got the majority. >> well, as you know, andrea, the legislation requires too often 60 votes. and so in a very real sense the democrat minority is in the drivers seat here. >> reporter: the service members here can't help worrying about what's happening back home. >>> how do the troops feel about the shutdown and what they see going on in washington? >> everybody wonders if, you know, they

then in discussions with israel's benjamin netanyahu, he threatened to withhold aid from the palestinians if they did not pursue peace with israel. so how is the "america first" message being received? from davos, jon sopel reports. jon: in a blur of rotor blades, a swirl of snow, and a near- avalanche of expectation, donald into davos today. not his natural environment. president trump: very excited to be here. the united states is doing very well. jon: he came with a message. he had come to spread peace and prosperity. this is not exactly daniel into the lion's den. tonald trump and the davos se are not exactly soulmates. nevertheless, the world economic forum has come to a virtual standstill. mr. president, are you looking forward to your meeting with theresa may? after their spat over the anti-muslim "britain first" videos and the canceled trip to london, they were falling over themselves to be nice. problems in the relationship? a false rumor, said the president. president trump: it is an honor to be here with theresa may. we had a great discussion, we are on the same wavelength in e

the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is interfering in u.s. matters of states. well that's been going on for a long time i mean netanyahu was invited twice to speak to the american congress about the iran deal to go against the american government the american president obama back then so israeli government interference directly in the u.s. congress is a long standing process but when you get the american government manipulating arab countries to pursue policies that the israeli government of netanyahu would like pursued then it becomes a little bit more problematic more dangerous is that longstanding. allies of the u.s. like jordan for instance is a very delicate position jordan's a vulnerable poor country the saudis are been pressuring at the americans may be pressuring it egypt is in a similarly tough situation so the message coming out of the white house is we don't care about the big can go to hell they can they can do as they say they sink trying to take care of the west bank or orgasm and this creates greater tensions greater turmoil across the region whi
