Netanyahu said the obama administration failed to protect israel but colluded with it behind the scones. over the years, the presidents administration is critical of the israeliy settlements and saying they are counterproductive to it peace talks. abstaining from the vote was in line with the presidents policy. >> we cant champion expanding settlements and a two state solution. one has to make a choice between settlements and separation. >> reporter: back lash continues from democrat and republi...

Very on the right side of the equation. meaning, hard right. >> and ron, we know, that the potential nominee or the nominee in waiting for the next ambassadorship to israel is not a fan of the two state solution, calling it a narrative and a narrative that has to end. how does this, i guess, play up or serve up his term in -- will it be tel aviv or jerusalem? >> as i said, you know, i think under barack obama and bill clinton swewe saw a u.s. governt that didnt accept the same definition of how ...

Jerusalem claimed as a capital by multiple people and religions. its a tricky thing to manage unless it would be done by now. the notion that settlements in violation of u.n. resolutions and international law could somehow be exempted from that and that israel could just go ahead full steam ahead with support from the united states, that is a reckless and surely faulty interpretation of the situation on the ground. so well see if president-elect after his inauguration really wants to continue do...

Singles out the one place where people can elect their leaders and the rule of law trumps religion to punish them and have a one-sided view of this situation. >> when you spoke to prime minister netanyahu, did you discuss with him whether or not he thinks that this is kind of personal with president obama, maybe a final poke in the eye from somebody who he didnt get along with for eight years? >> people say that. no, we didnt talk about that. name one party in israel who likes this. the left in ...

14-0. the vote condemns controversial israeli settlements in disputed palestinian territory. ben ming netanyahu said in a statement, the obama administration not only failed to protect israel against this gang-up at the u.n., it colluded with it behind the scenes. over the years the presidents administration has become increasingly critical of israel settlements saying they are counterproductive to peace talks. samantha powers did concede ob staining from the vote was in line with the presidents...

That hes that kind of a guy. again, you know, look, victor, its interesting to talk to your colleagues and have them talk about what it takes to go from israel over to major square and look at bethlehem. and the fact there are multiple visas. that israelis are not allowed to cross over into the west bank to go to major square.the level of poverty. the level of tension and level of unsustainable walls and guards everywhere killing the economy in both. its simply not sustainable. i think thats som...

While palestinian president mahmoud abbas said it was a big blow to policy. benjamin netanyahu released a statement, quote, israel rejects this shameful anti-israel resolution at the u.n. and will not abide by its terms at a time when the security council is not doing anything to stop the slaughter of half a million people in syria, it disgracefully gangs up on the one true democracy in the middle east, israel, and calls the western wall occupied territory. the resolution passed 14 votes to 0 wi...

Two-state solution. but these statements are ir reconcilable. one cannot simultaneously champion expanding israeli settlements and a viable two-state solution that would end the conflict. >> senator, what she is saying is that the settlements antagonize palestinians and, therefore, hinder peace. she is not the only one who thinks this. what is your response to that? >> my response is that the reason there is no peace between the palestinians and israel is not because of land. israel gave up the ...

Solution. i would love the palestinians to live in dignity along beside a secure israel. thats not going to happen any time soon. this last effort by obama and kerry to be cute as they leave office has made it harder to restart the peace process. i dont see any situation where israel can constructively engage in the peace process as long as this resolution is in being. if you want to restart the process, rebuild the resolution. >> senator, i want to play for our viewers and for you what some of ...
