As the administration is weeks from being out the door. >> although i deeply respect secretary kerrys very hard work in pursuit of peace, i question the timing and the purpose of todays speech. he spent and criticized the policy of israel and very little time talking about how that was. there have been real difficulties. and some of the recent decisions by the netanyahu government and in terms of increasing the pace of settlement activity. they can be seen as moving away from a two-state solutio...

To advance a two-state solution on the ground. reporter: we expect a further defense of abstaining of the vote that did allow the resolution to pass the u.n. security council. the u.n. and the obama administration have been make an point that it is long-standing position of the united states that settlement activity beyond the 1967 borders undermines israels security. the administration also made the point it criticized the palestinians for failing to condemn terrorism. >> there is new reaction ...

And the u.n. on the president-elect, the first thing i have to say is theres one president at a time. president obama is the president of the united states until january 20th. and we are taking this action of course as u.s. policy. and as i also said, this has been long-standing bipartisan u.s. policy to oppose this type of settlement activity going forward. good to see you both. hope you had a merry christmas. >> merry christmas. >> want to start with that last point by ben roach. hes right...
