Flashpoints that have led to one of the worlds longest conflicts. and in a repeated series of wars. the region is changing in even ever more volatile ways and the idea of a one-state solution is not going to be popular among the palestinians makes the danger of violence inside the one state even greater. the idea of separation, this is an idea that has now been embraced by the entire international community. and its just very hard to see how violence ever ends and israel is ever secure without s...

Settlers, that it is going to lead to some kind of civil war. >> when you say one state. give us a practical sense. israel claims the west bank for its own and says this is now all israel and then the palestinians living there before citizens? >> a one-state solution would look like that would annex, including the west bank and gaza strip which give them full citizen rights. which means that theyre allowed to vote in the parliament, allowed to participate. >> john kerry said, if that happens, is...

Hard. even though the white house has said, look, its not going to happen, kerry has doggedly travelled to the region, worked the international community to try to get something. i know the israelis believed there was some kind of collusion that they actually engineered this resolution. but the process at the u.n. always involves many, many parties and they claim they didnt make a resolution on this until the very end. >> robin, we were talking earlier in the show about the two-state solution as...

Solution, come to the negotiating table and clear in message and will to bring peace between israelis and palestinians or have a dangerous one-state solution which is not viable and i dont think is what neither the palestinians nor the israelis really want. >> thank you for joining us from los angeles. appreciate it. another hollywood legend lost. >> more on the passing of actress debbie reynolds still ahead. stay with us. ♪ ♪ see ya next year. this season, start a new tradition. experienc...

About trade with israel. they have a free trade agreement between europe and israel. israel has been violating that by including within that agreement goods and produce that is made on israeli settlements in the occupied territories. illegal settlements. by saying in this resolution that all the settlements are illegal, that they have no valid basis, theyre setting the stage for a whole new initiative by europe. thats what makes it so important. >> phyllis, a quick question before we go. are you...

This one resolution this past week. so i think that there was a bit of a misreading of where public opinion is versus opinion inside that washington bubble. the second thing that he was trying to do was to defend or protect this idea of a two-state solution. at a moment when i think a lot of people believe that the two-state solution is over and done, its dead. its been killed by settlements. there is just no land left for a viable palestinian state. and this notion that were headed towards a on...
