Sarah, president after president has tried to get a peace deal between the israelis and the palestinians. does this president have a shot? >> well, president trump is approaching this in a completely different way than obama did. obama was concerned with the details of a peace deal between israel and palestine. he was focused on pressuring israel to give up specific actions like settlements. critics said that obama was too harsh on israel. he put all the burden on israel. trump has done a 180. h...

Dont want you the know. this stuff is going up now. why? the president wants to make the country more safe. >> he said the omnibus spending bill doesnt include money for bricks and mortar for a wall but there are hundreds of millions of dollars to put up the steel wall. it is an elaborate fence but mulvaney says its what the secretary of homeland security john kelly and the border patrol wants. the palestinian will be here to visit with president trump today. abbas laid down a marker saying any ...

Policy, specifically on two topics. one is jerusalem. just yesterday vice president pence saying something that president trump had said over the course of the campaign. during the campaign the president said he would move the u.s. embassy in israel to jerusalem. we heard yesterday from vice president pence that they are giving serious consideration to that. that is a real concern for the palestinians. separately on the issue of settlements, they want to try to end the construction of jewish set...

Its always been against a two-state solution but suggesting it would be prepared to accept an interim palestinian state within 1967 borders. clearly something is going on. hamas, weve been waiting for that kind of statement for two years from hamas. lets see what happens from that meeting between mahmoud abbas and donald trump at the white house later today. >> nbcs bill neely live in london, thank you for that. in a moment from the white house that caught our eye, budget director nick mulvane...

Believes she may have leaked the name of lieutenant general michael flynn or if hes just talking about the unmasking. clearly this is a question that will likely come up at the press conference with king abdullah of jordan which is scheduled to start in about 4 minutes time. were also expecting that someone will ask about this potential peace plan. we have to point out again that this was first floated in 2002. israel was not particularly interested in it back then, so dont know why they would b...

Question about the israeli-palestinian conflict, its a good thing the white house is rolling up its sleeves and trying to get something done. the jordanians have been very constructive actors over the years on these questions. i think from the israeli perspective, they have shown over decades that they are willing to play ball and look at land swap and other deals. as the fundamental question of whether the palestinians recognize the right of israel to exist as a jewish state and disarm. if they...

Solution. what do we know about what we are going to hear at the white house today? >> we dont know what we are going to hear because as much as they are going to talk about a two-state solution which king abdullah will be pushing for, laying the groundwork for some kind of peace deal between the israelis and palestinians, much of the conversation today will have to be dominated by the chemical attack in syria, the president killing his own people, and russia playing ball with the fiction this i...
