He called john kerrys planned speech today anti-democratic. he accused the obama administration of being pro-palestinian. he said there were people who simply dont understand whats happening in the middle east. he said if john kerry lays out principles for a peace deal, as hes expected to do in that speech, it would limit president obamas ability to set his own policy on the conflict. all of that before the speech is even delivered. what can we expect from the speech? what we do know comes from ...

Movement, as it destroyed the two-state solution, which he said is in u.s. interests. >> interesting. and obviously, john, you know, the idea of the settlements, theyre very controversial, but i think one of the points we keep hearing from the israelis, and its -- they have a point which is, this is what the obama administration wants to go out fighting for? i mean, syria is in tatters. theres a war going on in yemen. i could go on, but you get the point. why make israeli settlements the focus o...

Threatening and particularly this settlement policy. i dont think secretary kerry thinks those ideas will have a home right now but they do hope it could be the basis for peace when the parties do get back to the table and thats the only way theyll really end the conflict, jim. >> secretary kerry and the obama administration not alone in feeling that the two-state solution is fading away. elise labott at the state department. thanks very much. cnn has learned that the obama administration is p...

Is a reaction to some of secretary of state john kerrys comments there. >> secretary john kerry is not saying things he had already not believed and he has been working toward a two-state solution for the past four decades. as a palestinian american with family in palestine and i will be going back this summer it is impossible for there to be a two-state solution when it is on palestinian land. i live across literally in the middle of the village. we need to first dismantle illegal settlements a...

Israeli state. it is an article of faith going back to reagan and carter and his point is a two-state solution isnt possible if israel continues, as it did again today as he was speaking to expand settlements in the west bank. they wont go back to the 1967 lines because things have changed on the ground but there are principles developed through lengthy negotiations that collapsed two years ago. this is a last cry. clearly as he leaves office with only three weeks left nothing hes laying out wil...

The israeli prime minister publicly supports a two-state solution. but his current coalition is the most right wing in israeli history, with an agenda driven by extreme elements. the result is that policies of this government, which the prime minister himself just described, is more committed to settlements than any in israels history. are leading in the opposite direction. theyre leading towards one state. in fact, israel has increasingly consolidated control over much of the west bank for its ...

Within what people generally expect to be the borders of an israel in a two-state solution. this is not even whats happening. this is building deep inside the west bank. i think part of what were trying to do is bring more attention on that and have people like you reporting on that. this is changing the facts on the ground and making a two-state solution nothing more than a talking point. >> i hear what youre saying, but you still didnt, respectfully, answer the question which is, voters out th...

>> the administration mad made -- how different israel is going to be under president trump. how different will it be and what does an in coming trump administration and what does it do to the process and part of the world? >> it is clear just from the last couple of days that president-elect trump has said on social media that there will be a change in tone in the relationship between israel and the united states. hes also appointed an ambassador to israel who does not support to a two state so...

Derelict in our own responsibilities. regrettably some seem to believe that the u.s. friendship means the u.s. must accept any policy regardless of our own interests, our own positions, our own words, our own principles even after urging again and again that the policy must change, friends need to help -- tell heech other the hard truths and friendship require mutual respect. israels permanent representative to the united nations does not support a two-state solution. quote, it was to be expecte...

Who was so fundamentally frustrated by the absence of progress and so convinced that the two-state solution is about to become the one-state outcome, and unless something is done, his efforts and the efforts of the united states is doomed. it is interesting that the secretary of state gave this speech. not the president. we had the reagan plan, we had the clinton parameters, and now we have the kerry speech. >> what does that tell you. i also argue the context here as i think elise mentioned i...
