the trump administration. thread that needle supporting the resolution that obama did not block but also criticizing the kerry remarks that trump and netanyahu found so objectionable. >> michael, i would love to hear your thoughts. >> i think ron summed it up well. the bottom line is the israelis and palestinians aren't interested in making peace with each other right now so on some level the rest of us whatever we say is not making that much difference. you know, i actually agree with most of what secretary kerry said in his speech, but i wasn't persuaded the timing or the tactics were all that useful, but on the other hand, i can't blame him either. i'm not sure it's going to matter that much in the end what the british prime minister or the american president says in a situation where the palestinians can't act as a single entity and the israelis don't seem interested in making peace at the moment. i'm a little fatalistic about this issue i'm afraid. >> let's hope for better things in 2017. not that far away. ron brownstein and michael o han
