Credibility there. talk about israel here. for folks at home watching this saying its another israeli election but in the last week you had the israeli prime minister say hes going to annex settlements in the occupied west bank if he were to win which would, of course, not just violate international law but decades of u.s. policy here. tell us about the consequences for that region, for israel, for the two-state solution. what would that mean? >> this is going to be a transformational election. ...

Would bring to an end what little chance there is for a two-state solution. here we are yet again, the middle east, what has been, is, and continues to be the least successful, most turbulent part of the world and its grabbing center stage even though everything from china to venezuela to the rest continues to churn. but i think eyes will be on the middle east and also the oil issue because that will have all sorts of implications for global markets. >> obviously oil skyrocketing. richard vir to...

Netanyahu the government. if you get the same result as you did in april israel will face in its own way a profound constitutional crisis. its hard to predict in american politics whats going to happen next tuesday. i dont think its possible, frankly, to predict at this point whether or not netanyahu will pass the 61-seat majority or whether his opponent benny gantz would do better than skpeexpected and be asked. >> as you said it looks like liebermann will emerge. you know, obviously theres a l...

Two-state solution. they say we see your support for a two-state solution than the boycott movement. netanyahu said in 2015 there wont be a palestinian state on my watch. he said in april this year ill extend sovereignty to jewish settlements in the west bank. what netanyahu has done is hes basically eroded and undermined bipartisan u.s. support for israel. democrats have only been able to support israel on the okccupat n occupation, its temporary. 52 years of temporary. you saw bernie sanders c...

Policy at this time and adds that netanyahus announcement doesnt get in the way of the peace plan. two weeks before netanyahus last election in april, trump recognized israeli sovereignty in the golan height, a political gift to his friend netanyahu. trump also put the revolutionary guard corps on the terror list and a visit to jerusalem. israel and palestinian leaders are slamming netanyahus new plan accusing him of looking to liquidate a palestinian issue and violating a two-state solution and...

Fellow other fellow competitor, former congressman beto orouke, has suggested they would be open to leveraging, using u.s. financial aid to israel to push that country to pursue a two-state solution with the palestinians. is that something you would consider? >> look, i believe that were going to have an opportunity after the september elections in israel, i hope we will have a new opportunity to be a part of trying to bring those two parties together for peace there, with a two-state solution. ...

Opening to leveraging, using u.s. financial aid to israel to push that country to pursue a two-state solution with the palestinians. is that something you would consider? >> well, look, i believe were going to have an opportunity after the september elections in israel. i hope were going to have a new opportunity to be a part of trying to bring those two parties together for peace there with a two-state solution. i agree that, you know, with our allies sometimes tough love is in order. but i wou...

Principal of building peace which is a two-state solution. that has been thrown out by the trump admin operation. it will be a demand for surrender from the palestines with the idea that they get more money. people are not going to sell out to promises by the trump administration which we know doesnt keep promises anyway. >> you are saying they are not going to take process seriously? >> they are trying to win votes and the evangelical. you remember trump saying how disloyal many jews are but ev...

Very strong supporter of the u.s. security partnership with israel. he provided funding for the iron dome missile defense system and israel purchasing the f-35 aircraft and signed a $38 billion military assistance agreement. he also strongly pushed for peace talks between israel and the palestinians based on a two-state solution. and actually netanyahu was on board for that for several of those years. they had some disagreements about israeli settlements in the west bank and that produced some p...

Expectation that the american jewish community will simply salute in obsequious solicitation for the gifts he 2015s hes bestowed on us. american jews do support and appreciate united states support for israel, which comes from both parties. mostly you would say, and you cant speak in monolithic terms because there is obviously a range of views. they support a two-state solution between israel and the palestinians and president trump has largely ignored that. but american jewish voters have also ...
