State of palestine. on the eve of the election the prime minister said there would never be a palestinian state on his watch. today he flip-flopped and said he does support a two-state solution. whats your reaction to this uproar? because the administration the obama administration is very angry. they are saying they have to reassess their options with israel because of this kind of statement by the prime minister. >> what the prime minister said today as i recall the statement was that he suppo...

Waited in the middle east is taken up by islamist forces. we want that to change so we can realize a vision of real sustained peace. i dont want -- i dont want a one-state solution. i want a sustainable peaceful two-state solution but for that, circumstances have to change. that is the way the white house has interpreting -- the white house says this is diadvicive, and so diadvicive that now the administration is saying that he will not stop the u.n. from conferring statehood? or at least they...

Israeli news site nrg. today, though he said something different. he said and ill quote him directly ambassador he said,on want a one-state solution i want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution. so my question to you, as his foreign policy adviser is did he make that comment monday saying there would be no two-state solution under his watch, just to win the election or was he actually saying what he really believes? >> well i know i saw nbc news was playing this off, that somehow his positi...

Is an impediment to a two-state solution and announced no two-state solution and that is an impediment to the community and not just the united states. he won the election but may have created a longer term problem. >> and lets dig deeper into that, congressman. a lot believe that is critical to getting security for israel. clearly netanyahu is disagreeing with that. do you think that israel is better off with a two-state solution off the table? >> no. i dont. and keep in mind by the way, netany...

Slowed down. the palestinians continued to live under occupation. they control the gaza strip. there is no light at the end of the tunnel. in short, is the peace process dead? it hasnt produced any tangible results for nearly 20 years. >> there is a large school of thought that said we need to move to a one-state solution. i dont agree with that. when you begin to think about how bad this can be that israel is looking at a population surge that will grow the number of air palestinians far beyond...

I understand his concern, security concerns. there is a very frightening kind of regionalism kags right now, but if israel is going to permanently control the west bank, then youre going to have a one-state solution that as john kerry and barack obama have repeatedly said will lead to israel having control over millions of people who lack citizenship or right to vote or its the end of a jewish state and thats a very grim scenario i think. >> does not sound like a peaceful one. >> and i think it ...

Conceived by the united states, after the 1967 war, after israel proved that it could be essentially an aggressive state against soviet-alied neighbors. its always been instrumental element of american foreign policy. never to bring about peace and moments from israelis, arabs, palestinians. thats where it comes from. what has always been there that nobody talk abouts is there essentially is a one-state solution. and the one state, this is not because i advocate it, im looking at reality on the ...

In an election. i think they could win an election in gaza because you couldnt create a situation of free political activity. i dont know how well they would now do on the west bank. >> do the majority of palestinians support the destruction of israel as a policy? they know thats not possible. hamas continues to talk about that. >> a lot of palestinians are prepared to co-exist with israel, would happily accept a two-state solution. a lot would depend on the details of the palestinian state. the...

Can have access to peaceful civilian nuclear energy, but that doesnt require an industrial unit uranium enrichment program, a heavy water reactor, advanced centrifuges, and it certainly doesnt require nuclear facilities dug deep into mountains. >> all right, so, now know what the people in power think, but where do the american people stand? according to one survey conducted by gfk polling for "foreign policy" magazine, support for a two-state solution is surprisingly tepid. just 39% support tha...

That winning would almost be like losing. and for the palestinians, their problem is that the israelis are settling more than as less land that is available for a future palestinian state. so time is running out for both sides to reach a peaceful two-state solution. and in the absence of a two-state solution, the next alternative would be what they call a one-state solution. one state between the jordan river and the mediterranean. that would be a recipe for disaster and theres no way that a pea...
