Correspondent and for nbc news for 26 years. thank you for joining us. the president said basically i'm for the two-state, maybe, i'm for whatever works. this is a departure from what past presidents have operated under. >> the phrase and for whatever works is a strange phrase. you know, what he means, i don't know, we're going to have to find out. it means for the people on the ground, the palestinians are furious because this is their only shot at a state of their own. the two-state solution is the only game in town. there is no real possibility of a one-state solution. it's an oxymoron. sol...

Some kind of palestinian state. how big it is, who lives there, what its capital is, all subject to negotiation. but there would be some sort of state. now if we're hearing from the white house that, well, maybe a one-state solution is the answer. that's throwing out the old map and starting over again. there was some quick reaction from ashrawi, a palestinian negotiator. she said if there is a one-state solution, who gets to live in it? do palestinians get to live in it with full rights? do they get to vote? and other palestinians have said they'd absolutely welcome that, and they think over ...

Democracy? depending how you define a one-state solution, that could be a very, very difficult choice for israel. what was unstated today is that whatever the two parties coming up with, the reality here having been in the room during the obama administration, you know, during the early stage s when w thought -- >> you tried to do this. >> -- a negotiation was possible, there was no rapport. the reality is i think it's right for the president to come back to this issue but we have to have modest expectations, it probably is going to take a leadership change on both sides before we see the poss...

One-state solution. they will hold to a two-state solution. whether rex tillerson or jared kushner come to the region and talk to palestinians and arab states they want involved in the process, they'll hear clearly a two-state solution remains the only solution that can actually bring an end to this conflict. and bring an end to the conflict is, as the president said, a u.s. interest so i think that's where we're going to come back to. >> what do you make of the fact that president trump has said that he wants his son-in-law jared kushner to broker an israeli palestinian peace deal? as you kno...

Prohibit or prevent negotiating those status of that particular land according to the land for peace provisions and requirements of u.n. resolution 242 and 338. if you create facts on the ground, there's nothing really then left to discuss about trading land for peace. i don't think there's anything unusual about this. i think that a two-state solution is the only real solution to the arab, israeli palestinian problem. if it's a one-state solution, i don't see how israel can maintain democratic character and jewish character because the demographics are such that sooner or later she will be ov...
