This terrorist and letting even the families around them know that theres a price to be paid for terror. >> when you say they see whats going on in syria and they dont want this, what do you think the palestinian perspective is on what they see happening in other places vis-a-vis what they want to happen in israel? >> two different separate issues. what they dont want to happen is they dont want hundreds of thousands of people killed like in syria. by the way, the palestinians are sunni muslims....

Anymore. you mentioned it in your speech. i want to ask since it does feel like the peace process is dead, if it ever had much life in it, about his son. >> his son. >> his son, theres a couple of reports that talked about new york times report where he gave an interview and he said im not for my fathers plan. i think the peace process is dead. i done want a two-state solution. i want a one-state solution. i just want rights. i just want political rights. if youre not going to give me state, giv...

From jerusalem. or rin, good to have you with us. its one thing for mahmoud abbas to say palestinians will no longer be bound by the oslo peace accords. but what does his announcement actually change on the ground? >> that is the major question here, isha. his statements were a bit vague when he threatened to cancel the oslo accords and the other arrangements. whats significant about this, threatening to cancel oslo. it was the bedrock of cooperation and coordination between israelis and palesti...

Youre still allies and you have to move to the next step. >> he made the point there were 6 million jews killed during the nazi genocide. there are 6 million jews who live in israel today. he vowed that will not happen again. israel will do whatever is necessary to protect its citizens. he also, i thought, significantly, coming a day after the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas yesterday said he cant go forward with the oslo accords, the itsraeli palestinian peace process, blaming isr...

The palestinians? >> i believe that prime freedom a bas is speaking right as i walked out here. i dont have direct response to what hes said. as a general matter, the united states has long been and continues today to be committed to achieving peace that the palestinians and israelis deserve. we described the resolution of this conflict as a two- state solution. they are in two states with a sovereignty and viable palestinian state and living side by side with a jewish israel. that is our positi...

Raising. how much significance are people attaching to this flag raising. >> this is a proud moment for palestinians. but they say this has to last more than a moment. this has to be followed by concrete steps towards a palestinian state. its a proud moment for israelis. different reactions there. some who support a two-state solution and some who do not. >> symbols can carry tremendous significance. perhaps no symbol stirs up more emotions and controversy than the palestinian flag. youll see th...

Prime minister or president was speaking there as i was walking out here, so i dont have a comment on that, but i will say that the president today is committed to the achieving peace, and that the palestinians and the israelis deserve. we have described a resolution of the conflict as a two-state solution that results in two states for two peoples with the sovereign and viable palestinian state living side by side with the peaceful jewish and democratic israel. that is our position for some tim...

Approach? >> well, i believe that prime minister abbas is speaking right as i walked out here, so i dont have direct response to what hes said. i will just say as a general matter that the united states has long been and continues today to be committed to achieve ing -- that the palestinians and israelis deserve. we described the resolution of this conflict as a two-state solution that results in two states for two peoples with a sovereign, viable and independent palestinian state living side by...

Relations with the u.s., generations alone, were seeing more and more violence. what happened there? >> his big initiative to kick-start the peace process, and talks between the israelis and palestinians interlocuteurs is allowed by april of 2014. in that summer thereafter, there was this hideous grinding 50-day conflict in gaza, which saw hundreds die. you see by and large, i mean, the rising government of benjamin netanyahu has ministers among its own cabinet who dont really believe in the two...

Foreign policy projects for the last 30 years. right now i think the prospects are more dismal than anytime i remember in the last 50 years. theres practically -- the whole process is practically dormant. the government of israel has no desire for a two-state solution which is the policy of all the other nations in the world, and the united states has practically no influence compared to past years in either israel or palestine. so i feel very discouraged about it, but that would be my number on...
