>> and once again the president elect offered no substantive comment telling reporters that it speaks for itself. however on twitter earlier he spoke volumes. more on that now from cnns elise labben. >> the status quo is leaning towards one -- >> reporter: in a lengthy and deeply personal final plea secretary stt kerry issued a strong warning to israel that a two state solution was jeopardy. directing his aim at netanyahu. >> the israeli prime minister publicly supports a two state solution. but...

Homeland and in their eternal capital jerusalem. >> joining us now from little rock, arkansas, former republican presidential candidate governor mike huckabee. it feels like this is one last shot obama taking at b.b. netanyahu on his way out. it also feels like revenge to me. it feels like do you remember when netanyahu came out in favor of donald trump? it feels like this is hey, i got you now. this is my last shot at you right here. >> lets be remindful that it was obamas people that did every...

>> i read closely your op-ed in the "wall street journal" a day or so ago. where you said the two state solution has been on life support for years. and you want to see a three state solution. you can briefly summarize for our viewers what is the way forward in your eyes? >> well, the briefest summary of whats wrong with the two state solution is john kerrys speech today where he says well, there is either a one state solution, which is bad for israel or there is a two-state solution. what a fai...

Situation is not true because were already there. weve been there. the settlers and palestinians are inextricably -- theyre not separated, theyre inextricably populated. the only thing that separates them is the vast difference in tweemt. the different set of laws that apply to jewish israelis and to palestinians even if they live side by side. thats an apartheid reality. >> do you think theres anything the u.s. could do at this point? it seems that heres whats -- were looking at down the barrel...

Chastising the netanyahu administration calling his coalition the most right-wing in israel whistle an agenda driven by its extreme elements and the settlement policy is jeopardizing any possibility for a two state solution where israel lives in peace next to an independent palestinian state. >> it is not in u.s. interest to help anyone on either side create a unitary state and we may not be able to stop them, but we cannot be expected to defend them. if the choice is one state, israel can eithe...

He said i call both sides to go back to direct negotiations. on the other end he tried to justify the way the u.s. voted in the security council. but actually it is a contradiction. if you passed the resolution you are telling the palestinians to stop with the negotiation. you dont need to neg wait with the israelis. you can just come to the u.n. the u.s. will allow you to pass more resolutions against israel. the only way to move forward and think about peace in the region is by direct negotiat...

Very different views on everything from septembers to two state solution at least in term of the people hes put ago round him, their views on this adds fuel to what, what is clearly a long simmering fire between netanyahu and the obama administration. >> im struck again as mr. kerry was delivering this, by my count one hour and 12 minute long speech. the president again long way away in hawaii, distantly removed from the dirtiness of all this. >> as you pointed out this has been a long standing ...

History. how does that square, explain that. >> what he said there and pointed at very specific elements. for example, one of the people he referenced, didnt name specifically but the education minister naftali bennett opposes a two state solution. he made it clear he opposes any palestinian state saying israel will not accept a terrorist state next door. hes also referenced gaza saying thats the palestinian state, look how thats turned out. to continue for one more moment on this point, after t...

Failed in the diplomacy on the peace process. this is somebody who has been humiliated time and again by the russian foreign minister. its the end of this administration. we know there is going to be a major change. the question is why is john kerry wasting his breath at this point unless the intention here is to lay out a set of parameters for what they would like to see, the final two state solution look like. and then present that, again and have another u.n. security council resolution. that...

Less than a month to go? >> very quickly. when president obama came into office in 2009 he initiated an israeli/palestinian peace initiative. he stated that israeli settlements should be frozen. that was in 2009, pamela, its very interesting over those years they really tried to reach an agreement under u.s. auspices and were frustrated by the fact that they havent been able to achieve that and today as they are moving out of office they are reiterating their principled position on an israeli/pa...
