LEADING UP TO THIS?
>> USUALLY THOSE CONDITIONS DO
NOT CAUSE PAIN BECAUSE THEY ARE
INSIDE THE KIDNEY.
LIZ: DOCTOR, YOU ARE TERRIFIC,
COME BACK SOON.
WE LOVE YOUR INSIGHT.
LET'S GET TO WHAT'S GOING ON IN
ISRAEL.
AMERICA.
>>ING A NEW EMBASSY IN
JERUSALEM.
>> WE WELCOME YOU OFFICIALLY AND
FOR THE FIRST TIME TO THE
EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES
HERE IN JERUSALEM, THE CAPITAL
OF ISRAEL.
>> WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP MAKES A
PROMISE, HE KEEPS IT.
WE STAND WITH OUR FRIENDS AND
ALLIES.
AND ABEAUTIFUL ELSE WE HAVE
SHOWN THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA WILL DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND
SO WE HAVE.
>> WE HAVE NO BETTER FRIENDS IN
THE WORLD.
YOU STAND FOR ISRAEL AND YOU
STAND FOR JERUSALEM.
THE EMBASSY OF THE MOST OF
POWERFUL NATION ON EARTH.
OUR GREATEST ALLY, THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
TODAY ITS EMBASSY OPENED HERE.
LIZ: FEARS THAT A COLD WAR IN
THE MIDDLE EAST IS TURNING HOT
IN RAPID TIME.
WORST DEATH TOLL IN THE GAZA
STRIP IN FOUR YEARS' TIME.
HEZBOLLAH MAKING HUGE GAINS AT
THE BALLOT BOX AND IRAQ RATTLING
NERVES.
THE PRESIDENT POINT OUT THAT
ISRAEL IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN
THE WORLD THAT IS NOT ALLOWED TO
DECLARE WHERE ITS CAPITAL IS.
ISRAEL'S NEW YORK GENERAL CONSUL
SPOKESPERSON AND BRAD BLAKEMAN.
GOOD TO SEE YOU FIRST.
YOU ARE WISH OFFICIALS --
TURKISH OFFICIALS ARE SAYING
AMBASSADORS IN HE AVIV ARE BEING
RECALLED.
ARE MORE COUNTRIES STEPPING UP
TO SUPPORT ISRAEL IN THIS MOVE
OR DO YOU SEE MORE MIDDLE EAST
STRIVE?
>> WE SEE MORE SUPPORT.
THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR ISRAEL
IT'S A GREAT DAY FOR EVERYONE
WHO CHERISHES THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE U.S.
WE HAVE PARAGUAY AND GUATEMALA
OPENING THEIR EMBASSIES IN
JERUSALEM.
LIZ: ANY OTHER COUNTRIES?
THOSE TWO THAT WE HEAR OF.
I'M PRETTY SURE THERE WILL BE
MORE IN THE NEXT MONTH.
LIZ: GEORGE W. BUSH AND BARACK
OBAMA CAMPAIGNED ON AND
REPEATEDLY SAID THEY WOULD
RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL'S
CAPITAL.
>> JERUSALEM IS STILL THE
CAPITAL OF ISRAEL AND MUST
REMAIN AN UNDIVIDED CITY
ACCESSIBLE TO ALL.
>> AS SOON AS I TAKE OFFICE I
WILL BEGIN THE PROCESS OF MOVING
THE U.S. AMBASSADOR DO
JERUSALEM.
>> JERUSALEM WILL REMAIN CAPTAIN
TALL OF ISRAEL AND MUST REMAIN
UNDIVIDE.
LIZ: THAT'S COMING ACROSS AS
EMPTY RHETORIC.
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
>> LEADERSHIP.
SOMETIMES IT TAKES BOLD
LEADERSHIP.
DO SOMETHING THE UNITED STATES
IS CALLED UPON BY ACT OF LAW FOR
DECADES.
THE FACT IS.
ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES
SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS A LONG
TIME AGO.
IT PUT THE UNITED STATES IN A
VULNERABLE POSITION TO BE PART
OF A NEGOTIATION THAT SHOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN AT ALL.
NOW IT TAKES THAT OFF THE TABLE.
THE UNITED STATES EMBASSY IS IN
JERS, SHOULD BE, ALWAYS WILL BE.
THE QUESTION NOW IS WHAT HAPPENS
IN EAST JERUSALEM.
THAT'S UP TO THE PARTIES
THEMSELVES.
LIZ: A TOP DEMOCRAT APPLAUDING
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
SENATE MINORITY LEADER CHUCK
SCHUMER SAYING QUOTE, IN A LONG
OVERDUE MOVE, WE HAVE MOVED OUR
EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM.
EVERY NATION SHOULD HAVE RIGHT
TO CHOOSE ITS CAPITAL.
I SPONSORED LEGISLATION TO DO
THIS TWO DECADES AGO.
I APPLAUD PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR
DOING IT.
WHAT'S THE REACTION IN ISRAEL?
>> ISRAELIS ARE VERY HAPPY ABOUT
THIS DECISION.
IT'S SOMETHING WE ALWAYS ENJOYED
AMERICAN SUPPORT FROM BOTH
SIDES, REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS.
IT'S A PROMISE MADE BY MANY
PRESIDENTS.
BUT I WANT TO EXPLAIN ABOUT THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP RECOGNIZES THE
HISTORICAL TRUTH.
JERUSALEM HAS BEEN THE CAPITAL
OF ISRAEL FOR THE LAST 70 YEARS.
IT'S THE CAPITAL OF THE JEWISH
PEOPLE FOR THE LAST 3,000 YEARS.
IT ADVANCES PEACE.
THE TRUTH IS THAT JERUSALEM IS
THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME SOMEONE IS
COMING FORD.
LIZ:
>> I EGYPT AND SAUDI ARABIA HAVE
RULES AGREEMENTS WITH ISRAEL.
THEY ARE SUPPORTING ISRAEL
AGAINST THE SHIITE MOVEMENT IRAN
HAS CONTINUED TO BUILD.
WHAT ELSE YOUR TAKE ON ISRAEL ON
THROWING GASOLINE ON SECTARIAN
CLASHES ABOUT THIS MOVE.
>> COUNTRIES WHO ARE
HISTORICALLY HOSTILE TO ISRAEL
UNDERSTAND THAT ISRAEL STANDS
FOR PEACE IN THE REGION.
ISRAEL IS THE ONE WHO IS MORE
STABLE THAN ANY OF THE ENEMIES
THAT SEEK HER DESTRUCTION.
THIS IS ANOTHER POSITIVE SIGN,
COUNTRIES THAT HAVE BEEN HOSTILE
ARE COMING OVER TO ISRAEL.
AMERICA MAY SEEM ALONE IN
PUTTING ITS EMBASSY THERE.
BUT I CAN ASSURE WHEN AMERICA
MAKES A MOVE, OTHERS WILL
FOLLOW.
WHERE IS HUMANER?
HOW COME HE, A JEWISH U.S.
SENATOR, A DEMOCRAT, IS NOT IN
JERUSALEM TODAY.
WHY ISN'T ANY DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESSIONAL LEADER IN
JERUSALEM TODAY?
SHAME ON THEM?
THE PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE
EXPEDITED THEIR TRAVEL AND
WELCOMED THEM THERE.
BUT INSTEAD THEY TURNED THEIR
BACKS ON ISRAEL.
LIZ: WHAT'S YOUR REACTION?
>> WE ENJOY SUPPORT FROM BOTH
SIDES.
LIZ: WERE YOU STRUCK BY FACT
THAT DEMOCRATS DID NOT SHOW UP.
