When he could have traded it for something that would have advanced the peace process and advanced the u.s. national interests, not the interests of his base, not the interests of his donors, not the interest of a senator and an evangelical state that wants to get elected. im talking about the u.s. national interest was completely abandoned here. >> so does it end the possibility of what we call a two-state solution, israel and a new state of palestine next door? >> i would never say it ends it....

Mahmoud abbas to step down. we expect him to make a statement. well wait to see what he says in response to this decision. the key question about the security concerns will probably emerge tomorrow. the palestinian authorities calling for protests. we understand there are three days of protests expected. the big question is what will happen on friday, following friday prayers. whether they take any sdagsal security measures to prestrict mrins from coming to the old city and participating in thos...

The holy site. so by and large, i dont want us getting lost in the notion that just because the president acknowledged and obviously, someone who had some measure of experience decided to put that tiny hook in there and to create the notion that now for the first time the administration has endorsed a two-state solution assuming both sides accepted. but i think its going to make a long shot even longer. >> you can tell that this speech was kind of pieced together around the trump decision. i wan...

He was against a two-state solution. maybe this will push people to the table. >> greg: i dont know. you want to see a picture of a middle east expert? >> kimberly: a blank state? >> greg: is unsolvable. we keep talking about it as if its going to upset a peace process in the middle east. this peace process has been upset in the middle east since i was a child. if you want a peace process, palestinians, stop killing jews. thats a start. >> dana: there state of objective is the destruction of isr...

I think it was remarkable, even from saudi arabia, which was quiet for a while and has been working so closely with the president and son-in-law jared kushner on trying to solve middle east peace and other issues, they came out with condemnation, describing this plan right now using words as obstructing, complicating, and provoking, anderson. >> michelle kosinski, thanks very much. back now with the panel. how does this possibly help the peace process? i mean, if you believe in a two-state solut...

Six months delaying the embassys move. every president has since signed the waiver including president trump back in june. so thats what the issue is here. until now, we have said removing the embassy but havent actually done it. all right. what we want to get, for more on this, reaction from david keys, spokesman for israeli sorry, david. talk about this a second. practically speaking, the president of the united states has said that this decision is not fundamentally going to change the u.s. a...

Great deal for the israelis and a great deal for the palestinians. we are not taking a position of any final status issues, including the specific boundaries of the israeli sovereignty in jerusalem or the resolution of contested borders. those questions are up to the parties involved. the united states remains deeply committed to helping facilitate a peace agreement that is acceptable to both sides. i intend to do everything in my power to help forge such an agreement. without question, jerusale...

You know the president was very close to sheldon adelson who donated $25 million to his political action committee supporting his candidacy. and this is a president who right now wants to keep his promises because he is concerned bedroom where he sit with the people who inspired him. despite disagreement, my colleagues can talk about that, the disagreement he is saying the other guys failed. im doing it. its perfectly clear. >> christiane is is joining us from london. your reaction? >> well, wol...

Future negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians. i think we have a clip of that specific -- that specific statement, christiane. listen to the president. >> we are not taking a position of any final status issues including the specific boundaries of the israeli sovereignty in jerusalem. or the resolution of contested borders. those questions are up to the parties involved. the united states remains deeply committed to helping facilitate a peace agreement that is acceptable to both ...
