Two-state solution, that the various points that have been put on the table over the years are met. we do care, most of us, about the security of israel. but it cannot have that security if theres not a two-state solution. and i think secretary kerry has done an amazing job in pushing, but ultimately, it has to be the political will of the parties to bring this to the table. but now there has to be a cease-fire. >> are you suggesting, madam secretary, that the israelis are overreacting to the pr...

Occupation and creates a two-state solution. the two have to be -- >> did ham has make a mistake last week -- did hamas make a mistake last week in rejecting the egyptian proposal for a cease-fire, which israel accepted but hamas did not? >> we tried our best to get hamas to accept that cease-fire. all that hamas needed was a real assurance that if it accepts the cease-fire, the israeli ground attack will withdraw and there will be some sort of international commitment for ending the siege on ga...

Theres so many others of these groups that reject pluralism, that reject respect of human rights, that use their own people as human shields, that attack indiscriminately civilians. this is part of a larger pattern. what grievance can we solve for hamas? their grievance is we exist. they dont want a two-state solution. they dont want any state solution. >> the israeli military added to the uncertainty today to the fate of one of its shoulders and to hamas claim it captured an israeli soldier. is...

You saw all the concede. you saw all the concede. millions of cubic meters of concrete. when israel was limiting the inflow of cement to gaza, we were pounced by all the organizations. we said, its not going for the benefit of the population. its going to build these tunnels. we see now these tunnels. >> one final question, albright said the only real solution for israel and the palestinians is a two-state solution. israel living alongside palestinian. is that realistic? >> well, it is realistic...

Cease-fire along with other countries in the region to push for a cease-fire. i think that is an absolutely essential aspect of this. john kerry has devoted an incredible amount of time and energy to try to get the parties together. we know what the answers are to this problem. its a two-state solution, and a number of the various aspects that all of the americans have been working on for many years. it takes political will on both sides to make this happen. and im very glad that john kerry is w...

And understand that it needs to make itself clear on whether it wants the two-state solution or not. because this is not only about hamas and gaza. right now everything is out. thats why the diplomatic flurry is not only about a cease-fire, its about to establish a two-state solution and find out if its acceptable or not, specifically after prime minister netanyahu according to the hebrew press and israeli press that he spoke it out, spelled it out, he does not want a two-state solution, just li...

And a lot of palestinians have died in the process, many of them children and civilians. so heres the question. what can the united states, what should the united states do about it? >> well, i think that secretary kerry is doing everything that he can. hes in cairo. the point here is there has to be some kind of a cease-fire, a cease-fire that hamas has to accept because in the past prime minister netanyahu has accepted times of cease-fire, an its i do think that the point has to be made that i...

Senator jim inhofe, top republican on the senate armed services committee will answer that next. >> i think prime minister netanyahu is destroying his political future and the possibility of peace in this region by refusing to have two-state solution. by refusing to end occupation and by refusing to get -- gaza. big meeting. and when alan gets all powered up, ya know what happens? i think the numbers speak for themselves. im sold! hes a selling machine! put it there. and there, and there, and th...

Very unhappy with hamas. hamas has very few friends left in the world. the conditions in gaza are deteriorating. i think many residents in gaza hold hamas responsible for that, as they should. so i think that abbas position should be improved. sometime theres this perverse effect in the region where hamas gains in stature just by fighting with israel. in the near term, i dont see that happening. but hopefully in the midterm, we can see a unified government under fatah leadership in both territor...
