Should also add, shannon, some u.s. officials are downplaying the cancel meeting saying it was never set in stone adding kushner is still expecting to meet with egypts president, abdel fattah el-sisi, at some point this afternoon. we are waiting on more information if that meeting is happening. what has come out of it, presumably the cut in aid will be a main topic of discussion. kushner did meet with the king of jordan and oman who said he was restarting peace talks between israelis and palesti...

Trump represents and what he has said he wants to do, youre reassured by the fact that jim mattis and general kelly and henry mcmaster are running the ship and doing it while letting some of the things that president trump says just roll off their back, just as nikki haley did earlier this year when the president said maybe we dont have a two-state solution and the next day nikki haley came out referring to the israeli-palestinian conflict, to, we do believe in the two state solution. on the oth...

Kushner is a son-in-law, the reality is hes the guy in the middle. the question is whether the guys on either side of him, mr. abbas, and mr. netanyahu, are willing and able to make core decisions. >> what advice do you have for him? >> stop using the term "ultimate deal." thats advice, respectfully, for the president. because the ultimate deal, a conflict-ending agreement, a border security, jerusalem, the nation state of the jews and ending all conflicts and claims, thats a real heavy lift. th...

Palestinians. i wrote the book, along with a colleague of mine, in defense of the two state solution because support for it has been declining in both israel, among the palestinians, and in the united states. but we believe there is no feasible alternative to it. although increasing numbers of israelis have become comfortable with the sort of status quo that exists, but that ultimately will not be satisfactory to the vast majority of palestinians. and i think its ultimately going to be leadershi...

It will be very stark for president trump if there is no two-state solution we are going to see a situation where really we have two populations nearly equal in size with only one with an actual state. and thats a real problem. >> obviously been some concern among the palestinians that they do not want to return to the negotiating table so long as israel continues to build these settlements. what is going to be do you think the american position to try to get the opinionians reengaged in this pr...

Feeling a little bit shorthanded. president trump did not make good on his long standing pledge to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem or talk about them as a unified capital of israel. on the palestinian side, he didnt talk about a two-state solution with the palestinian state. he just talked in these generalities for peace. you got a real education from president mahmoud abbas, who congratulated his new energy and spirit but laid out these long standing demands of the palestinians, the 67 borde...

Like. abbas saying that he sees a two-state solution, he sees east jerusalem as the capital of palestine which is a sticking point in the peace agreement. something that has been a sticking point wanting to go back to 1967 as well and saying the fundamental problem in the peace treaty, abbas saying this, was the occupation -- is the occupation and the settlement. settlements being something that has been talked about between netanyahu and president trump as well. president trump asking netanyahu...

Jordan. your excellency as you have witnessed during your -- as you saw yesterday during your historic visit today and in bethlehem, the conflict is not between religions, for respecting religions and profits is an integral part of our religion and space and were keen to keep the door open to dialogue with our israeli neighbors from all walks of life to create a genuine piece of opportunity. our fundamental problem is with the occupation and settlements. and failure of israel to recognize the fa...

Can describe, get that doesnt. ultimately the political choices in israel and amongst the err arabians matter. considerly prime minister netanyahu has wiggle room on his left if he wants to go that routd route and pull in a broader coalition and pump out the more hawkish conservatives who dont want to see a two state solution. the same goes for president abass. he has to make choices about accepting there is a jewish state of israel. those he is are the leaps they are going to have to take and t...

Generally know the parameters of for some time? we know it may endetail, what it looks like. certainly the american administrations previously have made clear their depositions on the two-state solution. what have been the sticking points. >> its bedevilling to negotiators. essentially what angela laid out for the administration is consistent with what the israelis have been calling for for a number of years. that wont fly for the palestinians. the palestinians are looking for an end of conflict...
