Record as you know, is that they are very, as you put it, very uncomfortable, or have grown uncomfortable with their role of the occupation of the west bank and previously gaza, its one thing to protect israel against its enemies. you see that movie, "the gate keepers" where you have almost every former israeli intelligence officer saying we should get out of this, were in favor of a two-state solution. what is the mood now? because israel has effectively involved the problem, with the security ...

Military intelligence, they all support the two-state solution. and even more, i think that today in israel, the people who keep democracy, values of human rights, by far are people from these circles. active informer. and i think a country when the mature grownup are the intelligence chiefs, where usually theyre the trigger-happy and political leaders want to push them, i think such a country has a difficulty. >> i hope prime minister netanyahu reads your book. >> i hope so too. thank you. >> p...

Other senior intelligence officers -- >> they do talk, huh? >> they do talk, very off the record, as you know. they are very -- i would put it uncomfortable with -- or they have grown very uncomfortable with their role in the occupation of the west bank, and previously gaza. that it felt -- its one thing to protect israel against its enemies like egypt and such. you see that in that movie "the gatekeepers" where you have every intelligence chief on camera, on the record, saying we should get out...

That theyd have a two state solution. now you look at how things are over there right now and their missteps have actually caused the situation to be worse than its been in a very long time. >> thats not going so well and also here if youre going to meet with somebody like the president of russia, you want to first line up your own support, not just domestically but obviously with the europeans and again, we -- you know, it hasnt been done. its uncomfortable that he has closer relations it seems...

Which would seem to make it impossible to have a two-state solution with a palestinian capital in east jerusalem. >> we have made our position very clear when this happened. we said that this is contrary to the principle of not taking action, you prejudge the outcome of final talks. we have said this is a provocation and would undercut the move the process forward. >> many experts in america are comparing your engagement in yemen in a civil war with our own tragic history in vietnam. that it is ...

Had been in place for decades. >> right. i think one of the interesting things weve been hearing from this administration and was repeated in recent days is the united states would stand behind a two-state solution if its something both parties want. effectively giving the israelis a veto over palestinian self-determination. >> your own leadership is also in trouble. as much as netanyahus in trouble back home, has baeen bas is in trouble, you know how bad his numbers are. >> 70% of the palestini...

Broader context. the palestinians could understand how their aspirations might be met as well in a two-state solution, which they still have not declared is their goal with the palestinian capital as well. and so the opportunity actually is still ahead of this administration. when they make the actual move of the embassy in may to jerusalem, if they combine that or proceed that with the broad plan that jared kushner has been working on, the presidents envoys for a credible two-state solution wou...

I think they arent likely to be under to come back to the negotiating table. the president has simply taken himself outs of that story. . but we certainly want to keep the two-state solution alive and viable for the next leadership. maybe for the next israelly leadership to do the negotiating. thats where the administration has an opportunity in front of it. they have been talking about a plan. they have been taking soundings all over the region. >> whats their plan? >> well find out. fst a one-...
