Bottom line, poppy, is this. the settlement resolution and the expansion of settlements basically miss the point. this peace process lacks the leadership, it lacks the ownership, it lacks enough congruence on the two sides in order to be ready for primetime. that is essentially the problem. without leaders on both sides, not just the israeli side, on the palestinian side and without effective u.s. mediation and i suspect youre not going to have either in the period ahead. were going to remain st...

Leaving office he decided to take a really hard stance on this issue, not something i found shocking. there are millions of israelis there in israel and around the world by the way that actually agree with president obama on think, others say that they need that protection. that these are the 67 lines. as you know bennett the chairman of the jewish home party, for example, and some of the right-wing in the coalition they say, this is certainly legal. there is even a bill to try to get more priva...

Settlements are illegal as this policy does. it makes things very difficult going forward. we have gotten 25 years of concessions from israel on the condition that we would never allow something like this to happen. this is a major mistake by the obama administration. >> what are the practical affects of this? >> they might be not as bad for israel as people think. because the trump administration has a completely different idea about what to do going forward. donald trump has nominated an ambas...
