Government. so hes not as used to his predecessors in handling that kind of intelligence. there have been breaches before, and i was talking earlier in our broadcast with michael lauren, israels ambassador to the u.s. he commented on the leak that clearly came from the u.s., that it was israel that went and intercepted an illegal iranian arms shipment to syria. and i remember that very well a number of years ago, and it clearly came from someone in the u.s. intelligence to u.s. media. we all rep...

About reports that he shared classified information with russia officials. jim, the president met with a crucial ally, the israeli prime minister, but he seemed to have veered off script. >> reporter: thats right, wolf. the white house is trying to change the narrative back home by showing off these alliances that the president is building here in the middle east but the president found a way to step on his message today earlier today when he was trying to explain why he passed classified israel...

The question of whether or not were going to move the embassy to jerusalem is important to a lot of pro-israel republicans, they seem to have hedged on moving it from tel aviv. it will be interesting, im looking forward to today in the speech coming up, whether or not were going to make any head way with. that it was a big campaign promise. and, again, seems to have historically maybe siding a little bit more with administrations past. it will be interesting to see what happens. >> some say this...

In his public address. he was with the president of israel and he says, theres a growing realization among your arab neighbors that they have common cause with you in the threat posed by iran. so obviously israel welcomed that statement, but this is the same moment that iran has just reelected president rouhani, who is seen as more moderate and more modern certainly than some alternatives or predecessors. so explain what the calculus is on isolating iran. >> well, theres a long history of hostil...

What are the boundaries of a new palestinian state? an even bigger question of the status of juierusalem. these issues that have been obstacles to many of hisett predecessors and it is hard to see how the current leadership in either israel or the palestinian authority will break new ground. there is always hope that there is movement on the peace process. but president trumps claim that this is a process not quite as difficult as others have described it. it may not prove to be true. >> what do...

Solid. most of the folks in the refugee camp, they have jobs. there are a number of supermarkets, as well. there is believe it or not, albeit a small thriving economy, as well. but the ambassador said her hope is in the not too distant future, this is a refugee camp that can cease to exist because a number of folks have been allowed to return to syria. >> speaking of syria, you talked to her of course, about president assad in syria. play a little bit of that and ill talk to you on the other sid...

Seeding where his predecessors have failed. it is ambitious. he says that maybe its not as difficult as some have made it out to be. but historically, thats obviously not the case. so hes trying to get these two sides talking again. but there is skepticism not only because of that intelligence sharing but also because of that big arms deal that he just cut with saudi arabia, $110 billion. and as a candidate, andrea, he had promised that he was going to move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem...

Course hes now going to encounter what all of his predecessors has is ancient disputes -- the contours of which have not changed. >> these leaders have their own objectives in mind and they want to try to tactfully negotiate with the president of the united states. i think its interesting what peter baker of the "the new york times" had as far as advice for these leaders who are meeting trump. he says keep it short. no 30 minute monologue for a 30 second attention span. do not assume he knows th...
