Of a major shift? policy with no details to back up where you are. the concept of a one-state solution, first, its really difficult to imagine that the palestinians would ever agree to a deal that had a one-state. two, what would that actually look like? what does that mean to have the really provocative stances come out with no details behind them and its really troubling for our partners around the world. >> and it suggests this lack of leadership at the national security council and complete ...

Clear and concise vision of our policies on different areas officials are saying contradictory things. on the one hand we should be working with russia to fight isis and syria. on the other hand, wait no, not until we can trust them. maybe we believe in a one-state solution for israel, maybe we believe in a two-state solution. depending on who is speaking on a different day our policies are dictated differently. that creates confusion. what they want is clarity about what the u.s. policy is on d...

Administrations policy. >> oren, what would that mean? >> reporter: from israels perspective, israel annex the west bank and would give voting rights to all palestinians. the issue is you have an equal number of israelis and palestinians. you have a democracy with equal rights and all can vote. in which case, it is not a jewish state. you have demographically speaking an arab majority. greater israel is no longer a jewish state. you heard secretary kerry and others talk about it. in israel annex...

Understands. the whole point is if israel builds settlements in area of the west bank, it will be very difficult to eventually give those to the palestinians for a two-state solution. if you dont care what kind of solution -- if you have a one-state solution, its fine, then the settlements are fine. even within his own logic, its completely contradictory. >> it sounded like one of the things for histologic was, you guys figure it out, i support whatever agreement you guys come up with. >> it see...

Solutions on the ground. he argued to the leaders of both sides that they should be vested in the others interest because thats the only way they could get what they want. i think frankly that there is no viable or feasible one-state solution. difficult enough for anyone in every circumstance, but i think it will circle back eventually to two-state solutions because it has to be a separation. >> words matter a lot in the mideast. people are looking for signals on all sides and to see donald trum...

Already from president obama yesterday in his joint news conference with the israeli prime minister. and especially on the -- his view of the middle east peace process and specifically the two-state solution. listen to this. >> so im looking at two-state and one state and i like the one that both parties like. im very happy with the one that both parties like. i can live with either one. i thought for a while the two-state looked like it may be the easier of the two. but honestly if bebe and if ...

Republicans in congress calling for an investigation after leaks embarrassing to the white house. its not the content of the leaks some of them want to look into, but who let the information go public. the search for a new labor secretary begins again. andrew puzder is out. less than 24 hours before the scheduled hearing. we will tell you who could be next in line. and president bucking decades of policy in the middle east. is a one-state solution really on the table? welcome back to "early ...

Palestinian state. some are calling for a partial or complete annexation of the west bank. as for the line where trump said it would be good to halt construction to work on a peace deal. the government in israel i gnord that line. palestinian is seizing upon that. the palestinian president supports the two-state solution. it is upon the israeli prime minister to get back to that to get back to the peace process. donald trumps middle east policy is not clear. we have seen him change positions sin...

In a one-state solution, it cant be both because palestinians and arabs will eventually become a majority of the population. if youre going to give them the vote and treat them democratically, they lose their jewish character. if you try to preserve the jewish character by denying the vote, its not a democracy. i dont think the president should want to preside over the demise of a jewish democratic israel. >> the president didnt take a side. he wants the parties involved to make their decision a...
