Before because they have been fighting iran. that has been much more important to many of the gulf powers than what has been happening on the streets as these lives hang in the balance. >> the legal adviser to palestinian leader was just on "new day" this morning and when she was asked where to we go from here, are negotiations even possible at this point, heres what she said. >> i dont think that negotiations are going to resume and i actually dont think theyre going to be the answer. i was som...

Them up almost now to come in and maybe netanyahu accepts something in the area like a two-state solution, which hes said he would never do. when you talk about changing the paradigm, thats a bit of what it feels like with these two moves back-to-back. i think what they were doing before wasnt working. >> an interesting live shot here, by the way, after the president wrapped up his remark at the capitol. he just walked in and will begin his lunch with senate republicans. you can see mitch mcconn...

Escalation but when somebody is approaching the fence with explosives and molotov cocktails you have to protect your sovereignty. thats what we are doing. we are protecting the fence. >> the palestinians say there can be no two-state solution as long as that u.s. embassy is in jerusalem. we expect the u.s. ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley, to speak at this emergency security council meeting this morning. >> bill: rick leventhal. thanks for that. another big story this hour. awaiting president...

Going resolve the issue. i believe in the two-state solution. not everybody does. i understand that. but thats where the palestinians and those on gaza that hamas has been, as you know, very active on this last 24 hours and promoting this rush at the fences and perpetrating violence. they have to decide if theyre willing to negotiate and recognize israel as a country and have a two-state solution. theres a way forward here and just maybe by all the violence that has occurred in the last 24 hours...

>> what does the united nations plan to do from here, rick? >> well, there is no definitive action likely from the world body. any move like a resolution would have to be unanimously approved by the security council and, of course, the u.s. as a permanent member of that counsel. strongly protective of israels right to defend its borders. kuwait today called for an international investigation into possible war crimes. says it will present a resolution to the counsel tomorrow to try to protect pal...

Effort. yeah. the administration declared that moving the embassy to jerusalem would open a pathway to peace. i think this was a gross underestimation of both parties. on the israeli side you have a government that doesnt have much interest in negotiations. theyre not interested in the two-state solution and on the palestinian side, you have a group of politicians who are weak, who are divided and who cant make peace with the israelis. so, the idea that moving the embassy was somehow going to pr...

>> it doesnt surprise me. organizations that really dont believe in the tolerance that ostensibly all of us in america are for. i question the president sometimes, but i think most americans believe in tolerance and openness, and that has not been true of hamas and hezbollah. but todays deaths, one can only mourn what has occurred here. and i think youre a split screen of the celebration in jerusalem. and look, its been a bipartisan orthodoxy so to speak that both democrats and republicans and i...

>> youve been to gaza many times. ive been to gaza several times. how do you describe it beyond the hopelessness thats evident even in television pictures? how do you describe it to your friends in the u.s.? >> you know, i generally try to talk about the people that are there because i think what we get in the united states is a very monolithic kind of skewed picture. its controlled by hamas, yes, but theres regular people that want to live there. and gaza is very quickly becoming unlivable. i b...

The red cross reporting that "the health system is on the verge of a collapse." the same day -- after seeing a day this deadly along the gaza strip. the trump administration flew jared and ivanka and treasury secretary steven mnuchin on this day to celebrate the opening of the new embassy in jerusalem. donald trump had promised to switch the location of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem in december and on the campaign trail, much to the outrage of palestinians who believe that this mad...

>> well, one of the things that youre going to need, brian, if were going to get to a two-state solution is some shared control of the city of jerusalem. jerusalem is, of course, the most fraught of the final status issues that have been negotiated over the years between israel and the palestinians. and now president trump, while he said back in december he was taking jerusalem off the table, hes put it front and center again by relocating the embassy. so im concerned that any chance of reviving...
