what does it mean for israel? >> well, they can restart negotiations, sit down with the palestinians and to speak with them. unfortunately, what we saw in the last few years, they created a culture of hate, of incitement. the fact that today the palestinian services, they still have convicted murderers who killed innocent american citizens and israeli citizens. we need to stop with the culture of hate, get into the room and negotiate. we have proven in the past when we negotiate with the egyptians we achieve a deal. same with the jordanians. only way to move forward is to stop the incitement and start negotiating directly jm in an effort for self reflection what do you think israel can do better? >> well, i think we should understand the needs on the other side, the government of israel spoke about it and we have a few gestures before the president arrived to israel. but we also have to be concerned about security issues. when we see what is happening in lebanon, syria, we don't want to see the same picture next t

the israeli government brands as traders to israel. shani: i personally have very little sense of the. it is something that is just an automated response. anything related to human rights organizations, specifically these two, but the left-wing of israel i is always criticized. the very has mastered strict division he does between us and then where us is a very closed circle of only right-wing believers and supporters and the rest of the world come the rest of the leaders, thinkers, academic people within israel are just not -- almost not legitimate and their opinions are not legitimate. peter: but netanyahu wins elections. shani: he does. sylke: coalitions rather than elections. shani: sometimes yes, and part of a very troubling trend in israel, what is happening to public discourse and human rights, press rights, and so on, but it helps to remember that like usmuch of israelis and them, the whole world is position, butd of they also like being liked. they also like having friends and being supported. easily.it very differently, they

this is the first time the american president according to the prime minister of israel made an israel a stop on on the first trip abroad and acknowledge any official who flee from saudi arabia directly to israel. and also a first historic trip for the american president who made the first trip to the western wall. it is 8:00 p.m. in israel leland, and a lot has occurred and hopefully we'll get an idea of what these two leaders discuss. >> leland: there is a replay of the u.s./saudiy relations. you are watching the reset of israeli and u.s. relations. when president obama was there in israel. the coverage and words of the two leader and you saw from president trump and netanyahu the uniting on the issue of iran and there is much discussion of whether or not there can be a deal between the palestinians and the israelis. the israelis and the muslim world, they are united that iran is the real problem. you talked about the tour of the home and giving everybody a sense of what is happening there. we talked on something president netanyahu. this is will describe what happened here a couple

and israel. and it has to do with some of the things that have gotten donald trump into trouble back home. we knew that there would be this meeting between president trump and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. chris, we have both covered these things over the years, so part of the stage craft is there is the opportunity for the handshake photo and the imagery of the two leaders together. that wrapped up as it would normally do. there was a handshake. then the prime minister sort of hesitated and president trump moved back. and it was benjamin netanyahu who sort of shouted to the press over the den of the colleagues who were asking questions, which is the normal form, and he said the intelligence between the u.s. is good. that seemed to strike a note in president trump's head who put his hands out and stopped the handlers who were trying to rush the press out and they made a striking set of remarks. i believe we have the tape, so instead of my describing it, let's let our viewers see

and now a flight over to israel. seems leak he is now beginning the second leg of his trip which includes a visit to the holocaust museum. he'll be going to bethlehem meeting with israeli officials as well as palestinian officials to really try to jump start this peace process. >> and you're wondering is this the beginning of an odd couple there considering this historic flight being made to israel. talking over his itinerary. he's going to be meeting with two of christianitys most holy sites and meeting with the prime minister of israel and then tomorrow meeting with palestinian president. >> and we can see obviously the red carpet has been rolled out for the president and his delegation that is arriving. you see members there from various ethnic groups from israeli societies. christian as well as muslims, jews, rabbis as well. so you know, you compare the arrival ceremony that the president was given when he came to saudi arabia, obviously with a grander in the pomp and circumstance that saudis are known for. hospi

israel needs a strong united states and may i say, that united states also needs a strong israel. in the middle east an area that suffers from terrorism and andmadness. the bond between is us bond between us and between people. we share common values as we share the hope for peace. the people of israel are excited by your arrival and have great expectation from this visit we thank you for your commitment to israel's ability to face the threats of today and of tomorrow. mr. president, today i will have the honor to host you in jerusalem. we are honored to have you here with us as we mark 50 years of jerusalem day. it makes us very happy to know that israel's most important ally recognize the significance of jerusalem to the jewish people all around the world. jerusalem is the beating heart of the jewish people as we head for 3,000 years. mr. president, you come here to israel from saudi arabia. you will be at the wall and to holy church and to the vatican. in just one journey, you will visit the three holiest places for islam, judaism and christianity. we each have different belief

with the symbol of israel, the menorah on each. both making their first remarks since the intelligence issues. a lot of anger in israel among the professional spies, have not spoken publicly so much, certainly not by the leaders. in fact, prime minister netanyahu opened the subject at that photo opportunity saying they have very good intelligence sharing. that prompted the president to say to the reporters, i never said the word or mentioned the name of israel, so that story was wrong, referring to the story that "the new york times" first broke, that it was an intelligence secret from israel, not to be shared with anyone else, shared with their closest ally the united states and it led to that incident in the oval office when the russian foreign minister and the russian ambassador were visiting with president trump, and he -- once the official photographers had left, because no american reporters were allowed in, did share a secret about the laptop intelligence, the threat of another potential terror attack from isis against the u

never mentioned the word "israel." >> now, the president claims he never mentioned the word "israel" but it was never reported that he brought up the source of the intelligence, it was only later discovered part of that threat assessment did come from israel. the president having dinner right now, he and the first lady, with prime minister netanyahu and his wife, sara. earlier today he became the first sitting president to visit the western wall which is just behind us here from our live location. also visited the holiest site in the christian faith as well, the church of the holy sepulchre. he's reinforcing the bond with the state of israel, he signed a $110 billion arms agreement with saudi arabia, and also trying to put some of the bricks and mortar in place to potentially craft a middle east peace deal. the president in saudi arabia, mentioned it again today, believes that that possibility is even closer because of the shared threat in the arab world and here in israel from iran. listen to what the president said a short time ago. >> president trump: today we have so many incredi

i want to start with israel and the west bank. you can see below israel is egypt. to the right, to the east is jordan. the west bank, syria to the northeast and lebanon on top. look at the west bank. allen, that's a map indicating israeli settlement ts within the west bank. it is what you call a fact on the ground. there are israelis in the west bank, lots of them. so this isn't a matter of, here's a country, you have your side, we have our side, let's make a deal. how does that get worked out? >> well, 2000, 2001, israel offered to return the entire gaza and 97% of the west bank and the palestinians rejected it. in 2008 the israelis again made an extremely generous offer. and the palestinians rejected it. before that, sharon abandon the gaza completely and what did they get in return? rockets and terrorist attacks. so the question isn't whether settlements are a barrier to peace. the settlements will be dealt with in a peace proposal. the question is whether the palestinian leadership and people are prepared to recognize israel is the nation state of thor israel p

of israel. thank you for having me. thank you. steve: there you have got the president of the united states as he laid a wreath at yad vashem after making comments about the holocaust. 6 million lost their lives. we have danny danon from the united nations, he of course from israel as well. moving words from the president. >> absolutely. we hear that still today you have evil forces that attack innocent children and have to understand you should not understand idolly by when you see attacking people. brian: right. and this is your prime minister now. >> thank you, mr. president. this historic visit. you are the first american president who chose to include israel on his first foreign trip. you are the first president in office to visit the western wall. we were so deeply moved to see that picture of you touching the stones of the wall and may i say we were deeply moved to see first lady melania trump touching the stone of that wall and equally moved when we saw your daughter ivanka and your son-

god bless israel! [ applause ] [ speaking foreign language ] >> ladies and gentlemen, the prime minister of the state of israel and minister of foreign affairs, mr. benjamin netanyahu, will deliver his welcome remarks. >> president rivlin and his wife, president trump, madam first lady, donald, melania, welcome, a very warm welcome to israel. [ applause ] your visit here, mr. president, is truly historic. never before has the first foreign trip of a president of the united states included a visit to israel. thank you, mr. president. thank you for this powerful expression of your friendship to israel. mr. president, yesterday in saudi arabia, you delivered a forceful speech of clarity and conviction. you called on all nations to drive out terrorists and extremists. you called for the forces of civilization to confront the forces of barbarism. mr. president, for 69 years, israel has been doing precisely that. we've manned the front lines of civilization, we've fought terrorism, and we've built a modern,

we respect israel. from your friend and ally, all of the people in the united states of america we are with you. >> your visit here, mr. president, is truly historic. never before has the first foreign trip of a president of the united states included a visit to israel. >> shannon: karl rove is a former white house deputy chief of staff to george w. bush and fox news contributor. one of the only stories where you wouldn't have a white board for. there is no math on this one but there is a calculated change in the conversation both with saudi arabia and israel. how do you think our partners there in the region see this administration treating them differently than the last one did? >> well, the saudis and gulf states and jordan and our friends in the region see -- egypt see a president who is not at the top of his list appeasing iran and bringing iran into the broader mid eastern community and the broader world community. they see somebody who has a cold-eyed realism about the threat from iran and the th

never mentioned the word "israel." imply thatalso israel was not locatated in the middle east. rex, t trump: as you know, secretary o of state, has done n incredible job. we just got back from the middle east. we just got back from saudi arabia. we were treated incredibly well. amy: as trump made the comment, the israeli ambassador can be seen bearing his head in his hand. trump became the first sitting u.s. president to visit the western wall in the old city of jerusalem, land that was seized from the palestinians by the israeli military during the six-day war in 1967. tonight, trump is flying to the vatican, where he's slated to meet with pope francis on wednesday. we'll have more on trump's visit to israel and palestine after headlines. cnn is reporting president trump as the director of national intelligence dan coats, national security agency michael rodgers, to publicly state president trump's campaign did not collude with russia to allegedly influence the 2016 election. according to cnn the request , came after former fbi director james comey publicly confirmed in march

israel museum. back to you. dagen: blake pointing out that president trump has spoken with british prime minister theresa nagy speaking outside 10 downing street yet let's listen. >> this is one of the worst terrorist experiences we've experienced in the united kingdom. although it is not the first time manchester has suffered in this way, it is the worst attack the city has six. in the worst ever to hit the north of england. the police and security services or work unit speed to establish the complete picture, but i wanted to tell you what i can at this stage. at 10:33 last night, police were called to report an explosion at manchester arena near victoria train station. we now know that a single terrorist detonated his device near one of the outfits of the venue, deliberately choosing a time and place to cause maximum carnage and to kill and injure indiscriminately. the explosion coincided with the conclusion of a pop concert which was attended by many young families and groups of children. all act

we believe israel is willing. we believe you're willing. and if you both are willing, we're going to make a deal. so i want to thank everybody. i want to thank rex tillerson for being here. rex, would you have anything to say? mr. tillerson: i think it's a historic opportunity. because there are a number of positive conditions in place. and i know under your leadership and the willingness of the president, the prime minister, that we hope good things will happen. president trump: thank you, rex. and vice president mike pence sitting right here has been a long-time supporter of peace and certainly peace between the palestinians and israel. and, mike? the vice president: thank you, mr. president. i'd just like to welcome the president and his entire delegation here to the white house. it is good to see you again. my family and i have the privilege of your hospitality during a christmas visit just a few short years ago. we welcome you and look very much forward to our discussions. president trump: he's made great progress, hasn't he? you think

we love israel. we respect israel and i said to her people and the warmest greetings from your friend and ally. all of the peep on the united states of america. we are with you. thank you and a lefty. thank you. [applause] >> airiness, the the president arriving in israel. reagan is right now, the president began upon his arrival in israel. he will hold meetings with israel's president and chair. welcome to mornings with maria. day two of president trump's international trip just coming from saudi arabia, now arriving at israel. another two days to spend time meeting with the leadership there. we are with lee carter, dagen mcdowell, glad you're with us. great to see you. >> i think this visit is the place where donald trump is really, really comfortable. israel is a close ally. he's getting a very warm welcome. he made it clear when he arrived here at his full support of the american people is behind israel right now. he's resetting and that's a very important moment for us. yesterday in saudi arabia

and there is tremendous well, really good feeling towards israel. and i will say one of the things i think we can call it an outreach but what's happened with iran has brought many other parts of the middle east toward israel. and you could say that's one of the -- if there is a benefit, that would be the benefit because i have seen such a different feeling towards israel from countries that as you know were not feeling so well about israel not so long ago. and it's brought a lot of folks together and i think you have seen it and you have even mentioned it on many occasions. so, that is a real positive. we are very happy about that. >> every challenge creates opportunities. >> it's a challenge and it's an opportunity. you have a great opportunity right now there is a great feeling for peace throughout the middle east. i think people have just had enough. they have had enough of the blood shed and the killing. and i think you are going to see things starting to happen. what we did over the weekend was -- they say there has never been anything like it

the israeli government brands as traders to israel. shani: i personally have very little sense of the. it is something that is just an automated response. anything related to human rights organizations, specifically these two, but the left-wing of israel is always criticized. the very has mastered strict division he does between us and then where us is a very closed circle of only right-wing believers and supporters and the rest of the world come the rest of the leaders, thinkers, academic people within israel are just not -- almost not legitimate and their opinions are not legitimate. peter: but netanyahu wins elections. shani: he does. sylke: coalitions rather than elections. shani: sometimes yes, and part of a very troubling trend in israel, what is happening to public discourse and human rights, press rights, and so on, but it helps to remember that like usmuch of israelis and them, the whole world is position, butd of they also like being liked. they also like having friends and being supported. easily.it very differently, they ar

telling israel we are with you. we want peace for israel. how do you think it's going? >> i actually think it's going really well. it would be difficult to say, especially based on the standards that have been set in the past and what's gone on over the last few weeks. his speech was well received in saudi. press conference today also went well with prime minister netanyahu. obviously there are little blips in there. i thought when he said to the press informally, i never mentioned the word israel when i was in the oval office with the russians was odd and out of place. but clearly netanyahu wants a strong relationship with president trump. he threw a little shade at obama to say i'm glad you followed through on the red line after the syrian gas attack. it is clear where his head is now. and he also made it clear that the israeli/american intelligence sharing relationship has not been hurt. now, what that does for the public, i'm not sure. >> sandra: he said never been better. >> mercedes, i'm being positive here. >> no, i just think to jessica's point. i think it was t

welcome to israel. [applause] thank you very: much and it is a great honor to be here with my good friend, prime minister netanyahu and of course era. thank you. and also thank you for that beautiful tour. is lumia is still -- melania still talking about it. thank you very much. you honored you honor me and melania by being one of the first world leaders to visit me at the white house. you honor again by welcoming us to your home on my first trip abroad as the president of the united dates. this is a land filled with beauty, wonder, and the spirit of god. i have been amazed by the beautiful monuments and holy sites and the generosity of your incredible people. it is all about the people. i was deeply moved by my visit today to the western wall. words fail to capture the experience. it will leave an impression on me forever. today we reaffirm the unbreakable bond of friendship between israel and the united states. a friendship built on our shared love of freedom, our shared belief in human dignity and ou

at least as far as israel might be involved. >> i never mentioned the word or the name israel. during that conversation. have the story wrong. never mentioned the word israel. for more,ning me kevin cirilli, over in jerusalem traveling with the president. he is the bloomberg political reporter at the white house. kevin, at least the president clarified what he didn't talk to the russians about when it comes to israel. whoever asked that question? kevin: our very own margaret talev. you are right, he is avoiding the larger issue, why was he sharing highly classified thelligence information in first place? that was the question that our colleague had asked and that he dodged. look, the bottom line is that the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, present -- coming to the defense of president trump says that he believes that efforts to cooperate between the two nations as they share information, this is coming in the middle of president trump us second stop on his first international trip. he was in saudi arabia over the weekend where he announced, as billion arms $109 deal.

, more supportive of israel. former president barack obama largely criticized by many for that. he did go to the western wall when he was a sitting center. this president is going to israel directly from saudi arabia as he walks by himself up to the western wall. let's listen. looks like we lost that shot which is what happens when you're dealing with live communication. we'll work on getting that back. david gregory to you. all right, we have it back. david gregory, weigh in on your thoughts as we look at the president there, up against the western wall. the question was whether he was going to insert a prayer or not. >> which is typical to write something on a sheet of paper, and to try to find a spot within those huge pieces of jerusalem stone to insert into the wall. this is a solemn moment for a sitting u.s. president to honor the holiest site in the world for judaism, for jews. it is a fraught gesture, because while it's avery important for jews, it's also very important for israelis that the president is b

and it was israel's property. it was israel's intelligence to disclose. and when intelligence is shares, as you well know, sensitive intelligence of this nature, crown jewels of counterintelligence, it is shared only with your closest allies, with a small group of nations you absolutely trust. in this case with the united states, it's the kind of relationship the united states has with the brits, french, israelis, but only with very close allies. as the recipient of that very useful kind of intelligence, its not something you want to disclose to the russians. >> and then you have netanyahu saying we're in a good place, our intelligence agencies are in a good place. how in step is israeli intelligence agency and cia? how in step are their operations? >> reporter: well, they've always been in step at the operational level, but there was a furious argument reported by my colleague bill neely and others in the print press as well based on his conversations with current and former leader myself when i arrived here in jerusalem who said they get over it because

said a new jersey native in israel. for the year. if you'd like to read more about that go to times of israel dot-com. president trump participating in a wreath laying ceremony, the israeli national holocaust memorial in jerusalem, and the speech at the israel museum. >> mr. president. the guest book. > mr. president. president trump: thank you. sarah inister netanyahu, netanyahu. chairman abner sharif. and rabbi israel myerlot for hosting us for this moving wreath laying ceremony. vashem to t yad honor the memory of six million jews murdered in the holocaust. 2/3 of the jews in europe were sent to their deaths. words can never describe the bottomless depths of that evil or the scope of the anguish and destruction. it was history's darkest hour. millions of innocent, wonderful, and beautiful lives, men, women, and children were extinguished as part of a systematic attempt to eliminate the jewish people. it was the most savage crime against god and his children, and it is our solemn duty to remember to mourn, to grieve, and to honor e

[ applause ] [ speaking foreign language ] >> you are watching live pictures of president trump in israel. this is the second leg of the first overseas trip. he landed there over an hour ago. he spoke at the international airport in tel aviv. you saw he was greeted by israel president rivlin and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. let's talk about it. welcome viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "new day." chris is off this morning. bermuda bermu john berman is here with me. >> remarkable as the president landed in israel. he flew from riyadh in saudi arabia. the first direct flight ever for anyone flying from saudi arabia, riyadh. the heart of the muslim world. here to tel aviv to jerusalem where the president will go shortly. the center of the jewish faith as well as the christian faith. t

that's going to take him to israel. nbc news has now confirmed that that intelligence that he shared with the russians did come from israel. >> that is what nbc news has learned from three government officials familiar with the matter, katy, confirming information just reported by "the new york times" moments ago that israel was the key partner who provided isis related intelligence shared by the president with russia last week. we have asked the white house for a response to this. of course we have yet to hear back, though the expectation is that sean spicer the press secretary when he briefs here off camera will address it given it the latest twist in a story that's dominated headlines for nearly 24 hours now. a significant moment for this white house. you heard the president with the turkish president just a couple of minutes ago take a question related to this, whether he shared classified information wither is z er isergey lavrov, e said the meeting with the russian officials was a great success, he did not speak t

never mentioned the word "israel." imply thatalso israel was not located in the middle east. rex, trump: as you know, secretary of state, has done in incredible job. we just got back from the middle east. we just got back from saudi arabia. we were treated incredibly well. amy: as trump made the comment, the israeli ambassador can be seen bearing his head in his hand. trump became the first sitting u.s. president to visit the western wall in the old city of jerusalem, land that was seized from the palestinians by the israeli military during the six-day war in 1967. tonight, trump is flying to the vatican, where he's slated to meet with pope francis on wednesday. we'll have more on trump's visit to israel and palestine after headlines. cnn is reporting president trump as the director of national intelligence dan coats, national security agency michael rodgers, to publicly state president trump's campaign did not collude with russia to allegedly influence the 2016 election. according to cnn the request , came after former fbi director james comey publicly confirmed in march the

toward israel's way of thinking about national security, is it a shift toward not only israel, but to sunni states who consider iran an enemy. and it is a marked contrast from the work of the obama administration, which sought to negotiate and did negotiate with iran a nuclear deal that prime minister benjamin netanyahu opposed at every possible turn, and trump agrees with that, even though he has kept the agreement in place, he is coming out here this morning with the israeli president saying that iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, so i think strategically, the president is signaling to israel and to sunni allies in the middle east, that there is a different emphasis in terms of national security and america's foreign policy that's much more in line with the thinking of the israeli prime minister. it harkens back to me to the immediate 9/11 post-9/11 period when the bush administration got very close to the administration of prime minister ariel sharon. >> when you plant trees in israel it's greater significance, the planting of trees and making the desert green over the last 100 yea

president donald trump wrapped up his visit to israel with a speech at the israel museum, a few dozen trump supporters gathered at the entrance to see if they could catch a gli

he said, nobody said israel. nobody said that you did. so, it's like that little kid argument, where it's like, well, nobody said that i said that, well, nobody said that you said that you said that! it's crazy. he's doing that himself. >> okay, let's go to the news that i did bring up about michael flynn now. cnn's reported that michael flynn's expected to invoke the fifth amendment, his fifth amendment rights, and not testify before the senate intelligence committee regarding all of the subpoena that they have issued to him. so, the fifth amendment, this is something that we have heard before, not so long ago with regard to the campaign trail, right? we have president trump who said that absolutely michael flynn should ask for immunity. i do wonder what president trump will say about michael flynn invoking the fifth amendment after he said this on the campaign trail -- >> she has people taking the fifth amendment. four people, plus the guy who illegally did the server. you know, he put in the illegal server. so, there are five people ta

live pictures of president trump's visit to israel. i'm going to ask my producer, we don't know what those vehicles are. that does not appear to be the presidential motorcade because it's one lone vehicle there. the whole -- the church of the holy sepulchre where the president was, to the western wall, is about a five-minute walk. we are not clear as to whether the president will be making that walk or whether he'll be going with some sort of expert. i have somebody here with me who can probably give me expertise on that. when he goes to the western wall, it's going to be the first time a sitting u.s. president has made that visit. it is fraught with symbolism. but he is at the moment at the church of the holy sepulchre. joining me now is the consul general of new york ambassador danny dien, nick and crystal remain with me. sir, tell me, counsel general, what is likely to happen, is the president likely to walk or drive? >> the last time i did that exact route it was with governor cuomo from new york, we walked, but, you know, in this

we want to create peace between israel and the palestinians. we will get it done, we will be working so hard to get it done. it's been a long time, but we will be working diligently and i think there's a very, very good chance and i think you feel the same way. mr. president, thank you very much. [ speaking foreign language ] >> translator: mr. president, your excellencesy, i would like to thank you for this honorable invitation to come and meet with you and i look much forward to working with new order to come to that deal, to that historical agreement, historic deal to bring about peace. mr. president, our strategic option, our strategic choice is to bring about peace based on the vision of the two-state, a palestinian state with its capital of east jerusalem that lives in peace and stability with the state of israel based on the borders of 1967. mr. president, for us to bring about a comprehensive and just peace based on the two-state solution, such matter would give a great impetus to the arab peace initiative and the other initiatives, int

never mentioned the word israel. >> thank you.

israel included. jonathan: to david's point, go back to the proxy war between saudi arabia and iran. there was concern about what these could be used for, great concern that lead some people in the united states to have reservations about these sales. have we put those foreign policy concerns to one side and put business and sales at the forefront of what happens in the middle east in the united states? ati am not a policy expert in my view, for example, i don't think we have completely thrown our human rights concerns or our policy concerns completely aside. i don't think we have done that. if we are talking about systems like sad, that is defensive. that is not offenses. to use that because you want stop the bad guys missiles from coming into your backyard. i don't think we have actually thrown away the book on policy. what i do think is that we need to support our allies in the region. that is critical. there are some that actors on the stage and i think it is crystal clear that not only do we need

we're talking about israel in the context of holocaust and going home. in his speech he barely mentioned them at all. he didn't say, you have to make peace with israel. some strange missing bits as well. no mention in that huge appeal to the muslim world to be better, to fight terrorism, to rule out extremism, to stay with us, would have been make peace with israel for goodness sake, didn't say it. >> for you today, mr. trump will arrive in israel after giving a major speech in saudi arabia on sunday, speaking to muslim leaders, he had a lot to say about terrorism. not so much perhaps on a human right. >> we're not here to lecture. we are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be, or how to worship. instead, we are here to offer partnership based on shared interest and values. better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and drive out the extremists. drive them out. drive them out. of your places of worship. drive them out of your communities. drive them out of your holy land. and drive them out of this e

never mentioned the word israel. i think that is the first time we have heard the president confirm what intelligence sources had been keen here not to confirm which is that israel was the source of the information handed to the russians! allies who are worrying about whether they can share secrets with donald trump, the fact that he will confirm things in public that are meant to be secret, and clearly wa nted meant to be secret, and clearly wanted to... but when he sticks to the strip —— script he's good. wanted to... but when he sticks to the strip -- script he's good. but you saw him, he shut everybody up and wanted to make that point. yeah, he had to get that in, didn't he? there and in washington the enquiries and congress will continue while he is away. and the sunday television talk shows were full of it, including reaction to a late—breaking story from friday. there was another report from that conversation in the oval office. i just fired the head of the fbi, said the president. he was crazy, a here i

never mentioned the word israel. >> reporter: arriving in israel on the third day of the president's first trip abroad, a momentary break in the choreography, a subtle sign that the russian investigation back in washington is on his mind. his visit to the western wall a significant moment in his effort to jump start the stalled middle east peace process. >> i want to tell you also how much we appreciate the reassertion of american leadership in the middle east. >> reporter: a warm reinvestigation for whose still evolving foreign policy is still emerging and he demonstrated a shift. >> this is a battle between barbaric individuals who want to obliterate human life and decent people all in the name of religion. people that want to protect life and want to protect their religion. this is a battle between good and evil >> reporter: sharpest departure from the obama administration coming on iran. the president seeking to rally behind sunni arab nations and israel in their confrontation, still critical of the iran nuclear agreement and yet still weighing whether to pull out. >> it was a te
