Bloody civil war, and, so does that basically give these two leaders a pass to punt on peace negotiations? >> you know, i dont think so. i dont think ehud barack would give you a pass to punt. what hes saying is dont blame all of the troubles in the region on the lack of peace between the palestinians and -- but he -- achieve a two-state resolution is of fundamental interest of both the united states and its national security, but also of the state of israel. if israel doesnt get a two-state sol...

Between an american president and an israeli prime minister probably in the history of the relationship. thats saying quite a lot because youve had a couple of pretty dysfunctional pairs. i think the president frankly is in israel because of the intersection of politics on one hand and policy on the other. you know, being good on israel helps him politically with republicans who continue to hammer the fact that somehow hes anti-israel. even among members of his own party, so i think he wants to ...

Arabs is not something -- thats not what we signed up for. so two-state solution is urgent. one-state solution is being increasingly touted as the alternative. i think they need peace between the two states. that clear. by the wab the way, that is the official stance of the palestinians, united states and united nations. we understand john kerrys push will take place over the next six months to bring the israelis and palestinians together. it is critical. >> the shear number of settlements, how ...

We will continue to work with congress on future funding of iron dome. these are further reminders that we will help to preserve israels qualitative military edge so israel can defend itself, by itself, against any threats. we also discussed the way forward to a two-state solution between israelis and palestinians and i very much welcomed bbs words before i folk. ill be meeting with president abbas some and i will have more to say on this topic in the speech that i deliver to the israeli people ...

The prime minister of israel didnt air ba his fair share of the responsibility but the fact these two, probably with the exception of david ben guron and dwight d. eisenhower had most dysfunctional relationship between any american president and israeli prime minister. the president made a political calculation and he was vulnerable and exposed on this he had to take care of old business. too many people thought he was somehow hostile and adversary of the state of the israel. that coincides with...

Concerned about annes so essential threat. >> president netanyahu thanked to president for unequivocally affirming israels sovereign right to defend itself against any threat. does this not portend to some kind of military action given that mr. netanyahu said at the united nations, as you know, that he expected iran to have the capacity for a nuclear weapon by perhaps summer this year at the press conference, he said within a year, does this not suggest that theres likely to be some kind of mili...

What can president obama do to do anything to that process? >> reporter: not much, michael, which is why hes not coming with a new american peace initiative and not coming with expectations. theyll be back at the bargaining table anytime soon. this president has nudges the prime minister, lectured the prime minister about settlements. it was frozen for a while. i was at two settlements where there is construction under way. in gaza and ramallah in the palestinian territories more people have no ...

Yet, he has zero expectations president obamas visit will make any difference at this time of increasingle israeli-palestinian tension. >> i remember my mother said when i was a child, i hope you dont are to go through the army. i told her always, since i was a child, i dont think that will be true. and me, im not telling that to my kids. im telling them, listen, guys, these are the facts, if you live in israel, youll probably have to go to the army. >> reporter: low expectations done mean there...

Pro western religiously plural kind of middle east. he looks at the prime minister of turkey and ss essentially a wolf in sheeps clothing as he would say. someone who is trying to impose islamist ideas but slowly and sort of surreptitiously. what he is saying is to americans, you guys should pay attention, because these guys are taking over and they are as much of a threat to modernity and to the west and progressive arabs as iran is. thats stunning. >> abdula also told you he thinks it might al...

Achievable goals out there. i think what were seeing, this is the ten-year anniversary of the iraq war right now. as part of that and this trip is kind of wrapped up with that in a sense were seeing the kind of erosion of the myth of american omnipotence, right? on the right in america you have people thinking, well, if america just shows will we can kind of do whatever we want. on the left there might be some pressure on the president and in the state department to say, hey. we can, you tell is...
