The prospects of peace? >> for the sake of being diplomatic and nice, i will repeat what official statement. israel will deal with anybody who is elected by the american people and whos committed to a two-state solution. but i will tell you frankly, personally, when you have the mentality of xenophobia, islamophobia, misogyny, echoing the same extremist language of there is no occupation, there is no two-state solution, jerusalem is the capital of israel forever. when they both collude to destro...

Middle east. we know that from the very beginning this was something that president obama wanted to do. he made it clear within his first 100 days. a big disappointment for the administration. why now? why would the secretary of state lay out a vision, a plan? i mean, does it really matter? >> it doesnt matter at this point. trump has made it clear hes going to disrupt the peace negotiations. hes going to do iraq a different way, syria and the rest of it. this administration coming in is so far ...

Signaled to do. >> david friedman who has the president elect has nominated, hes a supporter of the settlement. he gives money and fund raises for them in tunes of millions of dollars. is the two-state solution dead? you have written about the -- what you call the three-state solution. can you explain that and do you think the status quo with the trump administration is going to be thrown out of the window and pursue the two-state solution? >> i think the two-state solution died a long time ago....

Pretty but sadly it was predictable. john bolton joins us now, hes, of course, former u.s. embassador to the united nations, senior fellow and fox news contributor. embassador is it really fair that president obama stabbed israel? israel continues to defy and violate international law, the netanyahu federal government is provocative and torpedoing any hope to two-state solution with the continued settlement construction? >> thats the palestinian line. no u.s. administration has flatly called the...

Criticized israel on settlements. george w. bush allowed a resolution the israelis were bitterly opposed to calling for a gaza cease-fire in 2009. i think the larger context here is that barack obama believes that the two-state solution is dying. and many of israels own leaders believe its dying. we now have two former israeli prime ministers, and two former top security officials, who have said that israel is on its way to being an apartheid state. you also have barack obama -- >> you also have...

Rus lum and in that part of ils that is behind a security barrier that is understood will be a part of israel if there ever is a two-state solution. >> can president donald trump undo much of whats happened here or is this essentially a permanent change. >> reporter: the only way he can do is to get a resolution passed without a veto. so if he can get russia to go along and china to go along then i suppose he can undo it. what he can do is with his team reset u.s. policy towards israel and the p...

The west bank to make the t two-state solution unachievable. >> reporter: netanyahu made it clear he is done working with president obama since the security council resolution vote. he made it clear he is looking forward to working with donald trump. >> oren, we know the resolution is more recommendation than real action, but are we seeing netanyahu really ramp up his anger because there is concern about other moves that can be made at the united nations against israel in the next few weeks? >> ...

On for decades. >> what do you make of officials including the ambassador saying on this network and others there is clear evidence that the u.s. was behind, essentially orchestrating the resolution despite u.s. government denials that thats the case? >> well, i actually talked to people in the administration. thats absolutely not true. to the extent that the united states was involved at all, it always -- the u.s. always wants to see not just a one-sided resolution and this one also condemned i...
