Negotiations with israel and the united states, and there has been growing criticism to the united states, including from the palestinian prime minister, that said the u.s. was no longer seen as an impartial broker, an honest broker in the the palestinian chief negotiator sigh yet erekat who himself said yesterdays decision was a death blow to the two-state solution and a one-state solution is all that remains for palestinians to ensure their rights. so mounting pressure on the palestinian autho...

The former prime minister and leader of hamas has been very strong and very much in the same light of what we have been hearing from all palestinian factions. strong condemnation against the occupation, calling on palestinians to even take eight step further and launch the third uprising in wak of this recognition, the rhetoric is a bit more sharp and heated. no doubt it reflects the same type of anger among palestinians. interesting, one of the points that came out from the chief palestinian ne...

Of israel, the fact it has 100 or so settlements block the blocks obviously in occupied territory detrimental not only to peace but to the very nature of israel being a jewish state and democratic state. hes saying its pushing israel into a one-state solution. the issue of jerusalem in particular is highly symbolic not only because it implicates palestinians and israelis but a broader reach to the arab and muslim world. this is something arab officials have been warning the trump administration ...

Tone than they expected and a lot of people arent happy. >> from the palestinians perspective you hit it right. they were expecting the worst and havent gotten as bad as they thought. there is some willingness, openness to talk to them. he is a deal maker. there is a cautionary note in being a deal maker. this deal, middle eastern peace between the palestinians and the israelis will not get done simply because an american president wants to get it done. it will only get done if the palestinians ...

That hell get a deal done to help us swear those two comments david horovitz founder of the times of israel, great to have you here. thanks so much. this caught our eye and some of our reporting here in the main daily newspaper, the anxiety sleeping in to the israeli right wing, a visit is comparable only to the euphoria that gripped it when the extensible master dealmaker was elected us president. does that ring true? >> they thought it would be a sentiment that would give them a carte blanche ...

Shifted to the hard right. youve had more settlement, political parties represented in the israeli government, not inclined to have a two-state solution. by that, really a peace deal. they want to try to maintain the status quo. perhaps even a one-state solution, which obviously would be problematic for both sides. certainly on the israeli right of this government. >> jim vandehuy has a question. >> you saw him smirk when trump is talking about how easy it would be to get peace. what do those ar...
