Response so far to the comments from the prime minister and retraction and everything that has gone on in the last few days? >> reporter: yesterday, we got a chance to speak with the chief palestinian negotiator. he said whatever netanyahu said or says or will say, he believes the true netanyahu, the one who says what he means came out the day before the elections and says he does not favor a two-state solution under his premiership. that means the palestinians will continue to pursue the stateh...

Government, including president george w. bush. >> reporter: thats right. here at the white house they say it remains their position but for now it doesnt matter how many times israeli prime minister netanyahu says he still wants a two state solution with the palestinians the white house is refusing to take him at his word. if theres one thing president obamas phone call with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu showed its that a single conversation wont repair a damaged relationship. netan...

Side in amity and mutual respect. that was prime minister netanyahu in 2009. in 2015 in a speech prior to the election, i think anyone who is going to establish a palestinian state today and evacuate lands is giving attack grounds against the radical i slam against the state of israel. >> michael crowley, it makes perfect sense, doesnt it? >> joe, in a way, maybe it does. if you think about benjamin netanyahu as an extremely calculating his critics would say cynical politician who sends a differ...

Because of what he has articulated and because of his pretty clear indication that hes prepared to withdraw from very serious commitments that israel had previously made that does and has prompted us to reevaluate our approach. late today the white house said president obama called netanyahu to congratulate him and the president reaffirmed americas commitment to a two-state solution. carol lee. thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me. youve reported that the white house left open...

Administration may stop acting as a shield against international pressure. 11 times in the past decade the u.s. has vetoed u.n. security council resolutions on israel. and those days could now be numbers. >> this commitment to a two-state solution has been the bedrock of a lot of u.s. policy toward this region of the world. in terms of making decisions at the united nations and in other multilateral fora, but now the prime minister of israel says earlier this week, days before an election, that ...

Whack the prime minister who is going to be at least half of a deal if we get a deal with the palestinians. >> right. i think you make a totally valid point here. and it seems that the white house is trying to ratchet up the pressure on benjamin netanyahu. as cynical reading would be that that statement was to sort of put benjamin netanyahu sort of back in the box that they dont really have this intention of following through at the u.n. to try to marginalize the israelis. thats a democratic ele...

But it is possessed of the democratic tendencies that far outweigh those of say bahrain or saudi arabia or even egypt. >> that is a fascinating perspective. lets move on to israel. and prime minister benjamin netanyahu has seemed to issue some wildly conflicting statements in just this week about how he feels about the two-state solution. which one do you believe is sincere? he supports it or he does not support it? >> well i know the pressures of campaigning probably got to him and he had to tr...

Criminal court and pursuing a palestinian case. the white house has a lot of options of how they want to use that word specifically. >> how are israelis particularly the right, taking netanyahus effort to walk back his comments here. >> reporter: nothing specific from the right yet. we have not seen a comment from the other right wing parties we expect from his coalition. they are viewed as more right wing than likud. they are not asking him to explain that. it is worth noting that netanyahus ap...

Between the two leaders is that relationship truly repairable or too far gone? >> its going to depend. what the white house is trying to convey to netanyahu, its totally inappropriate to disavow a two-state solution and inappropriate to campaign for re-election using ugly arab sentiment. >> especially when we know how forceful they were in re-election, it was a fascinating recovery to watch from a political standpoint to see him prevail in such a forceful way. be sure to watch "meet the press"" ...
