Is for two states living side by side in peace. can that happen in the short period of time? its going to take longer than that. but i think we need a path forward where we can bring the parties together and recognize the challenges that we have so we can move forward with peace in the middle east. we made progress in getting other arab states to recognize israels right of existence. i think we have a path forward that under president biden to deal with a future for the palestinians. so, i think...

A year from now so we need to know, what is this about? are we going to make sure anything is consistent with the arms export act? we have to first take a step back and try to understand what is going to advance the interests of peace and that is first having secretary blinken actively involved or an envoy actively involved in trying to get back to a two-state solution, recognizing that israel is an ally, but that we need to make sure all of our aid is consistent with the law and the arms export...

Being killed and we need to stop underwriting crimes against humanity while doing nothing to end the occupation. what are your thoughts on her comments there? >> im glad that a cease-fire is under way, and we have to stop doing nothing. thats true. the united states, for a long time, has said our policy in israel and palestine is its a two-state solution, but after stating it we do virtually nothing. we have to get in the game and now we have more partners in the game with us because the arab na...

Occupied in 1967. unfortunately, that so-called peace process was highjacked and used in order to maintain israel in power, to maintain the occupation, to continue acting with full impunity to build more settlements, to steal more land, to demolish more homes and to create facts that would become irreversible. therefore the whole concept of the two-state solution has been systematically destroyed by israel through the whole policies of expanding, of annexation and superimposing greater israel on...

Suggesting a cut to the$4 billion a year in military aid that the united states provides israel which supports its iron dome defense system. >> there is no shift in my commitment to the security of israel. we still need a two-state solution. its the only answer. im prepared to put together and am going to put together a major package with other nations who share our view. rebuild gaza. they need the help. im committed to get that done. >> richard engel is on the ground in gaza city. richard? >> ...

Brokering that cease-fire between israel and gaza. and he defended his quiet, relentless diplomacy and not speaking so publicly until there was news of that agreement and this fragile piece, but he did speak out last night when pressed about progressives within his own party who are now talking about their support for palestinians and more critical of israel. he was asked pointedly whether his stance on the belief that israel has a right to defend itself has changed. take a listen. >> there is n...

As illustrated, the challenges of the underlying dynamic is worse than 2014. there is not a two-state solution peace process that existed at all. you have essentially a more right wing government in israel than 2014. you have hamas emboldened. while i think its important that it stopped the previous conflict, but we have a tinderbox situation in which the palestinians feel more desperate than they are have, see less hope for a state than they ever have before. and netanyahu said he will not allo...
