Benjamin netanyahu, and, yes, an interesting victory for the head of a party, a new party, a centrist party, headed by journalist and writer lapeed. its not going to be major changes in terms of the peace process, prime minister netanyahus position calls for direct talks with the palestinians without preconditions, to establish a two-state solution for two peoples, based on security and mutual recognition. thats the position of the obama administration, and i think thats the position of lapeeds ...

Domestic challenges for barack obama, and as we talked about, his inaugural speech was very domestically focused. look, we just had elections in israel, john kerry not in the same place benjamin netanyahu is regarding a two-state solution, at least right now. there are huge challenges, iran, there are huge challenges in the foreign policy front that dont get talked about as much, but are clearly things that not only will be difficult for the president and his team to navigate, but will also have...

Incoming secretary of state. he has called for a freezing of settlements, but hes also called for a two-state solution. how does he go to israel, netanyahu elected, at least in part, with the strong support of the right, who does not want that. how does john kerry go to israel, and to your point say, look, your future as a jewish democracy depends on you changing or breaking with some of the people who got you elected. how do you make that case? put yourself in his shoes. >> i wouldnt presume to...

Israels interests not to hunker down, but to engage and if the only friend israel has left is the united states, not that we will not fully support israel, i think thats a bad situation for veil. and bad for us. >> everything that ive read, listened to, watched during this campaign suggests that it was, its kind of a seinfeld campaign. a campaign really about nothing. that the center left never formed and the left never really formed a serious candidate against netanyahu. its always been expecte...

Im human! and the new weight watchers 360 program lets me be. the reason im still in this body feelin so good isnt because i never go out and enjoy the extra large, extra cheese world we live in. its because i do. and you can too. because when a weight loss program is built for human nature you can expect amazing. introducing the new weight watchers 360 program. join for free and expect amazing. because it works. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is expected to return to power after to...

I mean, this is the tea party equivalent, the religious right in israel. and theyre not fans of netanyahu, even though the head of the party used to be netanyahu chief of staff. but i think that despite the fact that many in israel have given up hope for a two-state solution, i would hope that bibi netanyahu, a very pragmatic politician, would want to seal his legacy with a two-state solution with defensible borders. and heres why i think this. not just because of his legacy. i think israels sur...

House prices are through the roof and the left is very upset about the fact that the extreme orthodox jews are basically excused from serving in the military and get enormous benefits, which they dont get, so there are tensions, religious secular tensions and economic tensions and its been about that. and i think people dont think a two-state solution is achievable anymore. thats what i strongly disagree with. i also would suggest, once senator kerry gets confirmed for secretary of state, that h...

And our palestinian neighbors. we want them, just as they expect us to recognize a palestinian state, they have to recognize a jewish state. >> that was the last time netanyahu spoke publicly about a two-state solution. two years later, when president obama called to a return to the pre-1967 borders as a solution, netanyahu objected and said it would put israel at risk. the election that ends today has pushed netanyahu even further to the political right, which opposes concessions to the palesti...

Implement what the world community insists that is a two-state solution? >> the truth is that four years ago we were very close, and i proposed on behalf of the state of israel a peaceful solution which responded almost accurately to almost all of the concerns that the palestinians voiced over the years about the nature of such agreement and they didnt respond, so palestinians bear the most responsibility, particularly for not responding positively to a peace proposal which at that time presiden...
