The united states and towards the current leadership in israel, and thats natural and thats part of a process, but thats why its very difficult to just carve off economic issues and say well build trust through that. i get it when youre doing a real estate deal that you can start with the little things and build to the big things, and in this case the big things are pretty big. >> so, nic, that theres a stickier political component which is a portion of the plan to be revealed later on this year...

Tel aviv. >> i think its now been moved to jerusalem and i dont think the united states got much out of it. but weve got to get back to working toward a two-state solution. >> willie geist will now ask you lightning round questions about 80s pop songs. >> eddies got one and susans got one as well. >> i want to return to something that mike asked you. when i hear the language i want to win the states that we lost, i can speak to that part of america that the party hasnt spoken to, it -- hear it s...

Look at the overall political climate we see definitely a right wing shift in israeli politics they need guns for example has made it clear that israel would keep major settlement blocks and the jordan valley in any case and if you look at parties that in the spirit of oslo are for clear two state solution of the international alliance on the united nations lines we see that their electoral support is very low if you look at a party like minutes they would hardly go and keep the threshold to get...

There is a poll that forty one percent of israelis are in favor of a partial and exhaustion of the west bank but it also means that some people are really worried some people that might vote for guns about whats currently happening with netanyahu if you can just rewind a nine hundred ninety three the oslo accords and the idea of land for peace which is animated the peace process which is perhaps not a dynamic right now how does this announcement if it comes to be affect that idea. well if an att...

Syria. also you look at hezbollah, the increased inventory of rockets they have there. i think it was something like 50,000 in 2006. now 150,000. theres a great op-ed from congressman gallagher as well. theres been an increased threat to israel. i think it makes sense. >> dagen: lets move on. meantime, new questions for democratic 2020 presidential candidates as the liberal group "move on" called for all democratic white house hopefuls to boycott the annual aipac conference. right now know 2020 ...

Worry that this sticks when he says the democrats are anti-jewish? >> again, i think that he is conflating what the facts are. i dont believe that democrats -- in fact, i know they are not anti-israel. they may be anti some of the policies of netanyahu. im a firm believer in a two-state solution. netanyahu seems to be moving away from that. that does not make me anti-israel. so theres a lot of individuals within israel. they are not with mr. netanyahu, because if they were, then there would not ...

That, i mean he is undermining the two-state solution. i think whats happening right now it is up to every presidential candidate where they want to speak, where they want to make their voice heard and what organizations they want to support. but i think, you know, when it comes to this i think this is probably why they are not attending is because they dont want this to be a political game. >> sandra: let me tell you why bernie sanders says he is not attending. the stage that aipac gives to lea...

Pro-israel group like aipac that you will be speaking on that stage? >> as far as im concerned, aipacs position as i understand it remains to robustly support a two-state solution. thats the right approach. thats in israels best interests and the best interests of the democratic aspirations of the palestinian people and the best interests of america. >> sandra: very interesting to have you on the program this morning. your thoughts on 2020 and the direction your party is going. i heard you talk ...

Picture here. there are prominent democratic speakers going to be at that conference including chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. these democratic presidential candidates on the screen here among them bernie sanders, orourke, warren, harris and others say they will not attend. this is after the organization move on.org called on these candidates not to attend. they claim that apec worked to derail the nuclear agreement with iran which obviously was obamas work. >> well, i think that what you are se...

Election. aipac is not an extreme right wing pro-israel group they play it down the middle bipartisan consensus of partisans and democrats. if you wont go to aipac you are somehow anti-israel or anti-semitic. we have seen the comments. im north saying they are. you are not willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with our most -- with our strongest ally. all of them boycotting it shows you how afraid they are of the fringe left base of the camp. they are afraid of them. how dare you stand with a gr...
