Benjamin netanyahu sat stone-faced as the coalition celebrated today the former prime minister vowing again to bring down what he calls a dangerous government saying hes the only one who can protect israel from iran and stand up to the u.s. president. prime minister bennett says he too strongly opposes rejoining the iran nuclear deal. hes against the two-state solution and for israeli settlements. >> it doesnt only matter what are bennetts views but what matters probably more is what will be his...

The occupation of the West Bank, the oppression of its people, and the siege and bombing of Gaza are seen by many people as a continuum in Israeli policy.

Israel, which constitutes a significant minority -- this is the first time theres an arab party in government in israel -- israel has some fundamental issues to look at. which i think in many cases netanyahu kicked down the road. im encouraged that bennett wants to look at areas where there is agreement. one of them, by the way, is not about the two state solution, which america supports. naftali bennett was netanyahus chief of staff. he is against a two state solution. they are going to look fo...

Short-term because they too doesnt seem much prospect for resuming negotiations on a two-state solution. but weve been down this road before and it turned out to be radical because there were so many restrictions on what the palestinians could do. so well have to see just how far he and his coalition is prepared to go on this front. but this is a coalition that cannot hold together if it were engage if final status negotiations on a two-state solution. on the other hand, the palestinians are not...

Contention issues when they arise. bennett has shown a lot of political acumen and take six knesset seats. you have coalition, a rightist, a leftist, a centrist, and an abe arab representative. this will be a good example of how a diverse coalition can work together towards a common goal. >> the u.s. and others renewed calls for a two-state solution after the latest rounds of fighting in gaza. you are openly opposed to a state of palestine. what is your plan for the 2 million palestinians in the...

Palestinians, the americans, the europes, all those that have a hand in this. i believe that the first step is having the israeli arabs in the coalition. that allows -- to get people to the table across from one another talking to each other who have differences. that could be the first phase in understanding the problems, the situation, we will see where that leads. i dont see a lot of pressure on a two-state solution. i think the focus is going to be internationally, unemployment, cost of livi...

Judgments about the conversation. shortly after our conversation, u.s. secretary of state antony blinken said that the united states will not support any action that puts a two-state solution at risk in the region. does a message like this from the u.s. make any difference, do you think theres any pressure that the u.s. government could apply here to prevent this from happening? >> well, let me begin by expressing my concerns over such remarks. i think its quite laughable to make a linguistic st...
