Mayor of Jerusalem - Nir Barkat

Can Israel conclusively win the struggle for Jerusalem? HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to the Mayor of Jerusalem - Nir Barkat.

HARDTalk is in Jerusalem, an ancient city which arguably stirs more passion, argument and hostility than any other. Israel claims all of it as its eternal, undivided capital - a claim at odds with international law and much world opinion, but boosted by President Trump's decision to move the US embassy there. Stephen Sackur talks to Jerusalem's two term mayor Nir Barkat. Can Israel conclusively win the struggle for Jerusalem?
