Minister to ingratiate herself in some way with the incoming trump administration. perhaps, also, an attempt to make nice with the israeli government after britain went out ahead of the u.s. by voting in favor of this resolution at the u.n. now the motives here are not entirely clear, but it could be entirely selfish. in the context of brexit, britain leaving the european union its ripelationships with other allies have never been nor valuable. there is also a theory -- its nothing more than tha...

Firstly, in its view going in unreasonably on israel on this issue of israeli settlement expansion on the west bank. and also secretary kerrys comments regarding what he described, the israeli government as the most right wing in the countrys history. lets look closy at some of the language from the prime ministers statement. it says we do not therefore believe that the way to negotiate peace is by focusing on only one issue. and we do believe that it is appropriate to attack the -- that is appr...

In jerusalem. good to have you. i know many israeli leaders are counting down the day for donald trump to take the oath of office and are expecting a change. >> very much so. theres no doubt prime minister benjamin netanyahu cant wait for the next three weeks to go over. he has made it clear he is done working with president obama. trump said he would like to work on an israeli/palestinian peace deal. thats not uncommon. but he made big promises, saying he could be the one to put forward or seal...
