Between israelis and palestinians and in fact, this is more important to them than the united states. you need an administration, assuming you have one of the two, that essentially has the will and the skill and knows what it's doing. the reality is you have none of that in place. and the jerusalem decision, it seems to me is only going to make, again, as i mentioned, an already long stretch much harder to achieve. >> erin david miller and/orren lieberman and the unknown person doing the mike checks, our third panelist this morning, thank you all for being with us. >> thanks. the chinese nav...

Emerging, it looks like the u.s. putting its thumb on the scale much more than in previous administrations, making the calculus that saudi arabia, egypt, jordan, those being three of the countries, don't care as much anymore. they are not going to rally for the palestinians the way they might have before because they're going to rally more around the anti-iran issue and sort of regional gulf issues, right? and that was part of what mike pence's trip was about, to kind of test the water. of course, publicly you saw egypt and jordan raising issues about the jerusalem decision, but the real test ...
