i don't think they really want to negotiate and that's why they will focus on this issue and it's not for the first time. in the year 2000, prime minister offered them a state, offered to compromise them in jerusalem and they were not willing to move forward. >> as you mentioned the private and public u.n., netanyahu called the u.n. a house of lies, at the same time you and other diplomats were asked to meet with high-level officials to talk to them about not supporting this resolution or at the very least not speaking on the floor there today at the general assembly. how difficult is it making your job when you're hearing publicly from your prime minister that the u.n. is a house of lies and you're trying to haves these private conversations? >> it's to the easy, erica. it is a hostile territory in the u.n. for me, i get courage from the private conversation with ambassadors, even arab ambassadors which they tell me what they think about the area, israel and the u.s., admire our democracies, and i am optimistic about the future.
