Theres no way israel could be able to negotiate with that and that could not be a lasting peace. heather: dr. ahmed, i wanted to ask you two things in terms of a peaceful solution about palestine and israel, what would be another solution other than two-state solution because we heard president trump willing to listen to other options? >> i say, i just dont have any idea what that could be. i think the window for two-state solution narrows significantly after an opportunity came in the early 90s...

Policy are basically the same. which i think reflects the underlying consensus about what the real obstacles are, and as well the real problems with dealing with the peace process. it all comes down to the two parties and a two-state solution. >> right. its going to get done. ayman moya dean is with me again. a lot of people talk about how this is the first sitting president to go to the western wall. barack obama visited the western wall as a candidate. before he was president. which is actuall...

I got to tell you though, the expectations are low for any major break through. although the president did recently double down on his support for a two state solution. so today he is going to be meeting with the israelis. then tomorrow he is going to go over and he is going to be meeting with the palestinian prime minister abbas. but ill tell you the palestinians in palestinian areas are not happy. they have had hunger strikes, prisoners in israeli jails for six weeks protesting this presidents...

They said they refuse to believe in the state. so you have an occupying power which controls the west bank, which basically says we dont believe in the two-state solution that the rest of the international community believes in. that donald trump claims to want. so you cant get a solution if one party doesnt recognize the idea of having the other party as a state. >> but israel a democracy. israel isnt like saudi arabia. if the king doesnt want something, it doesnt happen. or like jordan. the is...

Also send it prime minister netanyahu declared that jerusalem is and always will be the capital of israel. palestinians of course also hope the present jerusalem will be part of their capital if an agreement is ever reached. opposed to new talks let alone a two-state solution. conservatives believe president trump will immediately move to u.s. embassy to tel aviv to jerusalem as he promised in the campaign but the white house says it will not move the embassy now. >> these moves have angered som...

Elected, israelis were excited but now some are raising questions, in netanyahus conservative government are opposed to talks, let alone a two-state solution. and talks that he would move the capital from tel aviv to jerusalem. white house has said they would not move it now. it has angered some politicians in netanyahus government, making an already difficult process all the more difficult. arthel: all right connor powell thank you. >> crunch time for the white house. after robert mule ar muell...

Debate. >> what would be your advise as he entered israel and is working on the palestinian and israeli peace process? >> that he needs to be fair and impartial, and again, that he needs to represent u.s. interests first, and i hope the president does well. >> what are those u.s. interests that he needs to represent there? >> that we need to insure the safety and security of the united states, of israel, and we need to make sure that we can have a two-state solution and be on a path to going to ...

They were very excited when president trump was elected a few several months ago, obviously, took power in -- in january but theyve been increasingly sort of grown concern with what they see a conventional american president, president trump has pushed the israelis to the negotiating table with a lot of the right wing reject negotiations but also reject two-state solution. theres unhappiness with the american president donald trump, they dont use conventional, they really are unhappy with what t...

A few politicians have spoken with him and said, lets get this trip over with. and part of the concern there is what moves president trump might try to make on an israeli/pastinian peace process. saying two-state solution, or asking for a settlement freeze could be a major problem for benjamin netanyahus government. he has coalition partners that dont want to see a palestinian state established. the more they focus on the israel-palestinian conflict, the worse it is for the israeli government. t...

Are worried. they dont want to talk about stopping settlement build cing. they dont want to talk about the compromises and sacrifices that have to be made in order to have a two-state solution. theyre worried about what might happens when he goes off and talks to the president of the palestinian authority in the palestinian territories so theres a lot of potential for awkwardness but on the other hand theres a lot of potential from distracting from what president trump faces at home so were goin...
