Population would like a settlement based on a two-state solution. let me be blunt here. president barack obama has given great speeches in the last two days or so. but now the challenge that faces president barack obama is to translate his rhetoric into political action. let me be blunt, too. president barack obama gave up on brokering a peace settlement between the palestinians and the israelis almost after the first year. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is more interested in on the ground th...

Middle east and also as an american. as long as the palestinians remain disinherited, they will be there peace and stability. israel is very powerful. israel is a fortress. but all of us would like to see the jewish community fully integrated into that part of the world by reaching a settlement based on security and peace and reconciliation. this is the way to go. and abbas, anyone else. the reality, im choosing my words very carefully. the israelis will never find a better partner than mahmoud ...

Economic and financial costs due to the influx. and has further strained the economy that is already under considerable external pressures. with an unstable region, a sluggish global economy that is still recovering. but having said that as i already alluded to, we are so grateful to the u.s. assistance in shouldering this enormous responsibility and more help in fatesing this humanitarian calamity. we had the opportunity to talk about the peace process and were very delighted by the vision and ...

My job and what i can control. but its possible. neither occupation nor expulsion is the answer. just as israelis built a state in their homeland, palestinians have a right to be a free people in their own land. >> now the president is on his way here to amman to meet with king abdullah, perhaps americas most important arab ally in the region. chris, whats interesting here is sort of a preview of king abdullahs thinking. an incredible piece and interview done by jeffrey goldberg over at "the atl...

Formula, no other alternative. the two-state solution is the only way to go. and if you compare that also with the radicalization of syria, together with the impasse in 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 serious push for resuming negotiations. on the final status issues, but the window is fast closing, primarily due to increasing settlement activities, so there is no time to waste. and lastly, ...

State. and abbas has written that he will never recognize israels sovereignty. and creating a two states will only give them cause to internationalize a legal conflict with israel. >> the reality as we know it now, this is not, im not really debating this particular question. it is israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who does not truly accept what we call a settlement based on a two-state solution. an independent, viable state. for the palestinians, in the west bank and gaza and occupied e...

That winning would almost be like losing. and for the palestinians, their problem is that the israelis are settling more than as less land that is available for a future palestinian state. so time is running out for both sides to reach a peaceful two-state solution. and in the absence of a two-state solution, the next alternative would be what they call a one-state solution. one state between the jordan river and the mediterranean. that would be a recipe for disaster and theres no way that a pea...

First question, reuters. >> thanks. mr. president, after you meet the leaders from both sides, is there any chance to resume these talks as soon as possible? and do you think that a two-state solution is still valid, expanding settlements continue going on? my last question, did you raise the activity with president netanyahu when you met with him? thanks. >> based on the conversations ive had with prime minister netanyahu and president abbas, i do think the possibility continues to exist for a ...

Think, is trying to assure or reach three audiences, the people of israel, wherefore uncommitted to israels security, absolutely committed. the palestinians, we want a palestinian state, a two-state solution. and others in the region, friend and foe alike, that the united states is in the region to stay, and were not pulling out any time soon. >> john king, the one thing we didnt hear about today was settlements. why is that, and is that going to be discussed over the next couple of days? >> rep...
