Moment. we have to decide a new strategic direction and president abbas said in september that should netanyahu insist to kill and bury the two-state solution, and i believe he is, and i believe those who do not want to see the two-state solution, the majority of his cabinet are celebrating today. the alternative to that from a palestinian point of view is full equal rights for all of those who live in the historic land of palestine, be it jewish, muslim, christian, full constitutional arrangeme...

Myth that sometimes israelis deceive themselves with. there is such a thing as the two-state solution that ends this conflict without the palestinians having a capital of their state in at least some portion of east jerusalem. it would have been better to frame it in the context to advance the goal of two states and what both sides can see in that outcome. moving our embassy to west jerusalem, again, i would have gone and done that instead of sign the waiver to this, but framed it so palestinian...

Agreement. without question, jerusalem is one of the most sensitive issues in those talks. the united states would support a two-state solution. if agreed to by both sides. >> he urged both sides to do nothing to inflame the situation on the ground. >> i call on all parties to maintain the status quo at jerusalems holy sites, including the temple mount also known as -- >> despite insurances, the administration is preparing for possible trouble, the state department issuing travel warnings for go...

The united states would support a two-state solution. if agreed to by both sides. >> if agreed to by both sides before do you see the palestinians going with the peace process right now? would they sit down in a room? would they talk to jared kushner? would they move forward on this in spite of what happened today? >> look, since the oslo accords which ushered this in 1993, a counter issue for palestinians forced to police themselves and protect illegal israeli settlers on their lands and have g...

Deal, which suggests that his team would learn from experience, know how to do this, be nuanced and careful, and this move suggests they have not learned anything. the peace process is not going anywhere. this only makes matters worse for u.s. diplomacy and u.s. standing with its friends in the world. >> before i let you go, clearly this is a game-changer, is this the end of the game? the final nail in the coffin? >> no, not at all. the reason being that there is still a conflict between israel ...

Came up. he was supposed to sign it by december 1st. a few days later, he still hasnt signed it, as far as we know which means hes presumably going to be moving that embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. how concerned are you about a violent reaction to the united states if, in fact, this move goes forward? >> im deeply concerned about the theft of terrorist reaction and more fundamentally the reaction on the street. the reaction of the people who compose the population of our allies. i think we n...

Does he designate parts as down the road with a palestinian capital. does he try to temper this in other ways? maybe he will talk about the needing to be a two-state solution. for all of that and all they can try to balance, the question is going to be how much is that going to assuage the enormous tensions? >> good point and we will see how far the president goes. does he call for a two-state solution or does he differentiate between east jerusalem and say the u.s. will move to west jerusalem a...

Expected announcement on jerusalem tomorrow could close the door to what is called a two-state solution? israel living alongside a new state of palestine? >> so presuming he goes ahead and pulls the trigger on that, i think its going to both literally and figuratively blow up the peace process in the middle east. we know its a bad idea, because every ally and friend we have is telling us its a bad idea. but its specifically a bad idea for two reasons. number one, its going to engender violence i...

Of the tensions in the area. that he will recognize partly part of jerusalem as being the future palestinian capital. certain holy sites given heed to the palestinian claims and deep sensitivities surrounding jerusalem. one more thing, we are told its possible that the president will also sues some language to further soften this which has been hotly debated in the white house, how to balance all of these tensions out, that he may make some kind of statement on their being a need ultimately for ...

Blumenthal of connecticut. hes a member of the both the judiciary and armed services committee. senator, thanks very much for coming in. so what do you make of this apparent decision by the president to recognize jerusalem as israels capital? and and apparently at some point, we dont know when, to move the u.s. embassy formally from tel aviv to jerusalem. >> jerusalem is the capital of israel, and ive long supported acknowledging that simple fact. so has congress. repeatedly, in fact, as recentl...
