that can really resist this in a time soon thank you for that mohammed jump june lifeforce in west jerusalem well let's sell a bit deeper into this now because a lot of grey areas with this new law it puts religion at the heart of the state rather than an equal rights for all which shows up several legal questions in one nine hundred forty eight declaration of the establishment of the state of israel granted equal social and political rights to all its citizens irrespective of religion race and sex so does this new law alter the status quo that's been existing for seventy is furthermore the law only talks about the right to south determination for jews so what about the political and civil rights of a quarter of its population who are not jewish the law also says israel will be open for jewish immigration exiles but what about the right of return of millions of palestinian refugees and the words settlement in the new law is also confusing does this include illegal settlements in the occupied palestinian territories and even if it doesn't will it lead to further segregation of israeli society

earlier this year, i recognized the true capital of israel -- as josh said -- jerusalem, where we just opened the american embassy.

to the paris agreement regarding climate change which we saw with regards to the american embassy in jerusalem all these unilateral decisions i challenge from my point of view the quality of our transatlantic relations. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure come out you have to go i mean eighty percent of the problem here with you and we'll show you all the great game the greatest game you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down going let's go. to a low. and i'm really happy to join the father thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one come on don't appreciate me to just say the radio the aussie team's latest edition to make up a bigger sound he better just say look. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day.

believe democracy is now lost but what do people especially mark in east jerusalem think. well yourself. you know i think every nation needs its own nationality law while not hampering the nationalities that live in their vicinity but because we are the jewish people we have a nationality law that israel belongs to the israeli people even though there are minorities here who will still have rights like any minority has in the world. so i think it's a discriminatory problematic and non-democratic law and it really disappoints me as a citizen of the state of israel that laws are passed in a country that harm minorities and people who are citizens of israel. this is a racist law that only serves their policy we can't live in houses and if we build houses they demolish them if we reach the checkpoint the inspectors represent the jews but the arabs and the palestinians are repealed. so mixture of opinions there but what israeli palestinian stands to do significantly off to this bill is not just them because secular jews are those from the likes of the community also very concer
