To defend our country and advance peace. my family has been one of them. there are many, many others. no one wants peace more than the people of israel. israel remains committed to resolving the outstanding differences between us and the palestinians through direct negotiations. this is how we made peace with egypt. this is how we made peace with jordan. it's the only way we'll make peace with the palestinians. that has always been israel's policy. that has always been america's policy. here is what president obama himself said at the u.n. in 2011. he said peace is hard work. peace will not co...

Weeks to go in the obama administration, there is dramatic change likely coming in u.s. foreign policy. the secretary of state addressed that, saying that this administration, the obama administration, cannot in good conscience do nothing and say nothing when we see the hope of peace slipping away. he did also criticize the palestinians, although not to the same extent he did the israelis, saying they cannot promote and must condemn acts of terrorism. >> rich edison at the state department, thank you. let's go to dr. dorie gold, former israeli ambassador to the united states and foreign policy...
