Democratic israel and democratic palestine, as the only way out. the two-state solution has been losing ground. he succeeded in doing that. whats still open is, can he get these talks going again? richard is right. the short term is about iran and syria, but we have to make some progress, and kerry stayed behind trying to get that going. >> more from you two as we move on to other topics later on in the program. thank you both. we now want to turn to the debate over gun safety. mayor michael b...

To hit home. lets take a listen to this. >> neither occupation nor expulsion is the answer. [ applause ] just as israelis built a state in the their homeland, palestinians have a right to be a free people in their own land. >> so peace talks. do you think this trip laid ni groundwork for resuming those and going towards a two-state solution? >> well, alex, i think it helped, but this is still a ways off i think, but the main point that i think we have to emphasize, both the administration and th...

State. >> mark, lets talk about the prospects for peace here. i know we have been talking about this ad nauseam, especially over the last few days, but the sentiments that were just expressed there are the sentiments that are generally expressed by that many palestinians. what say you to that, based on what we just heard, what can we say about the prospects for a two-state solution? >> at this very moment, as martin reported, my prime minister, benjamin netanyahu is meeting with secretary of sta...

I think president obama did something really important today, i really agree with you on that. and its to say that the two-state solution, which many people have been saying is dying, time is running out on it. hes saying, look, this is the only alternative we have for justice, for israelis and justice for the palestinians. and only to viable, thriving states can be at peace. so it was an important day. and im glad he finally put his marker down. >> ej, quickly before we go, president obama does...

Formula, no other -- two-state solution is the only way to go and if you compare that also with the radicalization of syria, together with the peace process, this is going to be a serious threat to an already volatile region. i believe there is a window of opportunity to make a serious push for resuming negotiations on the issues. but the window, i believe, is fast closing, primarily due to increasing settlement activities and so there is no time to waste. and lastly, i have the opportunity with...

Received. all of the commentary in the hebrew press and english language press here in israel has been amazingly positive. take a listen, though, to what was somewhat of a tough love message to israelis. >> peace is necessary. i believe that. i believe that peace is the only path to true security. you can be -- you have the opportunity to be the generation that permanently secures the zionist dream. >> and he made it clear he still supports a two-state solution. >> i know there must be something...

Thats their top priority. lets listen. >> due to the influx and further strained the economy that is already under considerable external pressures with an unstable region, the ghoebl economy recovering. but having said that as i already alluded to, we are so grateful to the u.s. assistance in solving this enormous responsibility and together continue to appeal to international community for more help to face this calamity. i had the opportunity, obviously, to talk about the peace process and wer...
