doesn t get told, both of our desire for peace, our sacrifices for peace, and our building of a better reality. and i can envision, if we had the kind of peace i envisioned with the palestinians, we could see what we re seeing now in the west bank, this great prosperity, envelop the entire region. i think israel could make a tremendous contribution to the well-being of its arab neighbors. and i think that peace could bring for our children, my children and their children, something beyond their imagination. it could be a different life, a different reality. and i m prepared to do it. i m prepared to move and lead my people to that peace, and i need a partner on the other side. larry: when we come back, we ll talk about iran with the president, with the prime minister of israel, right after this.
i greatly respect secretary clinton. you know, i worked with her husband, bill. i got to know hillary on her visits to israel. she s always a welcomed guest. i think she s knowledgeable. i think secretary clinton was a very wise choice on the part of president obama, and we ll be happy to work with her if the president so designates, and he often does. larry: there s some video getting a lot of attention on the web, supposedly of israeli soldiers dancing while on patrol in hebron. what do you know of that? i don t know. i hear it for the first time. larry: so do i. they gave me a note here and said it s on the web. i don t know. if you talk to me if you want to invite me again, i will be able to respond to it. larry: we ll invite you any time. are you ever able you re
