9:01 pm
hypocrisy. jewish people don't have any links to the will. -- world. mentioned,e if you and of the problems of the international community was that is becoming more irrelevant. north korea, africa, nothing. ofidn't remember any example some successful solution. they were very respectable, not my point of view.
9:02 pm
70% of the problems were against israel. not against iran. not against north korea, against israel. i see the weakness of the international community of the rest of the world. when it comes to the prophets, everybody prefers larger, is the biggest problem. race going on a for the head of the devon allen -- democratic national committee. the anti-defamation league recently released a statement that said that congress may, to about israel and -- congress
9:03 pm
aboutomments about israel controlling policy and that region as compared to a much larger arab population. it didn't make much sense, it is a sloppy paraphrase. for thenough anti-defamation league to say that the comments were disqualifying. you have any take on this? itow, if it is true, really lowers expectations from our biggest friend the united states. i hope that some kind of -- i hope that is some kind of mistake. lastly, i do think is the
9:04 pm
most serious problem, serious threat, facing the state of israel that should be at the top of the agenda? is it iran? >> no question, it is iran. that any budget is about $900 million over the last few years. the technology resolve there, the police resolved there, it is not able to exist. is a very against these
9:05 pm
measures. they are against jewish people , south america. we see what happens, even in the last month. there is a jewish community .enter to fight against their publications and agitations of the jewish people. question, it has to do with the relation between the american jewish community and the israeli jewish community. i had a remake named baroque, he
9:06 pm
was a soviet immigrant. he was a tough guy. toward me summed up some of the tensions of the american jewish committee and the israeli jewish community. he thought that all of us exchange students from the united states were soft. he wasn't wrong. [laughter] he also thought we should shut up about our opinions about israeli policy. the united states can give money or not give money, you are not living here, the client. a point in be american and israeli relations right now. american jewish and israeli relations. especially young american jews. they are concerned about the direction of the israeli
9:07 pm
politicians. whether the country is lurching to muster the right in english parliaments. i am wondering what you make of it, when you think of it, is your attitude like baroque. what does i need to be a greater effort of understanding between younger american jews and israelis? >> first of all, the state of israel is a state for all jewish people. all around the world. , i thinkoint of view we failed, especially with jewish people in the united andes, russia and the south
9:08 pm
all around the world. the problem is not right, left, the problem is that there are -- 5% of jewish people it is the biggest problem. i think we need to allocate money for the jewish implications. what we have for people who are more disconnected from the history, -- it is a huge problem.
9:09 pm
this is a young jewish generation problem, it is crucial for our future. my friends and i try to work to discuss with the old jewish communities. they must be part of the discussion of the future of the jewish nation. open up for to questions.
9:10 pm
>> i would just like to reply something about keith allison running for the head of the dnc. this point was a clarified -- was not clarified. i think that it is important for this audience to know. first, the fact that keith allison is a muslim, it is not an issue at all. that is not an issue. with that out of the way, if you listen to keep allison today, you can see his statements, he is more of a scientist than the other three combined. it is amazing, it is a beautiful thing.
9:11 pm
positions,ack to his his papers, his speeches, the way he has voted, he is clearly israeli-semites and anti- individual. words matter but actions a matter more. keep allison would be a disaster for the jewish community and the democratic party. allison would be a disaster for the jewish community and the democratic party. >> that wasn't really a question. can we have another question? >> mr. minister, you mentioned being theee iran
9:12 pm
biggest problem in the region. obviously, not just toward israel but the rest of the jewish community as well. you have maintained over the years a relationship with vladimir putin. it today, you look at the russian position toward iran, nobody is doing as much to prevent iranian power in syria. given your long-standing relationship with vladimir putin, do you see the potential to separate him from the iranians? if so how would you go about doing it? minister: we have many disagreements with the russians. we have many disagreements with china.
9:13 pm
i don't think it is right to disregard russia or china. we are a small country and we have the same moral priorities and relations. putin thinks about russian interests. clearct that we have a dialogue in syria is very helpful. look for problems with israel or the united states.
9:14 pm
issues.e many other they are well powers, they have interest of their own. any dissolutions. can't resolve all the problems with russia. we need to find an agreement between russia and united states. mainly on syria and other issues. >> we have another question here. >> thank you for joining us
9:15 pm
again this evening mr. lieberman. one new development that i'm of,'re aware i wonder given your exposure to it. your position of defense minister, i wonder if you think they can play a useful role when it comes to helping to resolve the conflict with the palestinians? the arab quartet recently intervened in an effort to try stop the palestinians. what role do you see them
9:16 pm
playing in trying to resolve that conflict? lieberman: they are the ones who pay the lipservice. it is a huge territory. hundreds of millions of people are there. it is possible for many years. what happened between 48 and 67?
9:17 pm
all the territory of today is -- it is under egyptian sovereignty. they tried to resolve this palestinian issue for 19 years. the problem is not history. from my point of view, it is possible for regional, copperheads of solutions. -- comprehensive solutions. this is the biggest threat for them.
9:18 pm
it is not israel, it is not jews. butink that they understand they still don't have political rule because they don't have enough power to move forward with this approach. from my point of view, it does not make sense to sign an agreement with palestinian results. it must be something done simultaneously with an agreement . we are not able to impose on palestinians.
9:19 pm
impose some kind of solution. bringt think that they better futures. we saw this with the united states. we don't have enough power to impose on palestinian people. they are able to bring other countries to the table. they can offer the solution. the problem is that there is a huge disparity between leadership andhe
9:20 pm
what happens among the people and crowds. clear that it is timing, even for their leadership. with public start opinion to explain their positions to move forward. .ot only in washington they need to explain what the real threats are and what are the real opportunities. the conflict israel. -- is real. i think that we will be able to resolve all the problems in the iranians.t, even with
9:21 pm
it is something new. position, it is timing, it is opportunity. i like to see an embassy. with that said, we are looking for relief. not only an agreement.
9:22 pm
the leadership is not with the state, the people, it is only with their leadership. it is not enough. do i see a woman back there #-- there? >> thank you so much. i would like to ask about -- >> could you talk a little louder? >> sure. i would like to talk about the saudi arabians in 2002? is it a good time for initiative? i would also like to talk about the relationship with egypt? are there any talks between the israeli right and egypt?
9:23 pm
the last question, regarding to islands.- two can you elaborate about the discussions? what are they working towards in this discussion? what are the logistics about these two islands? thank you. minister lieberman: i will start with the first question. there are some points that are very important there. we can discuss and it is
9:24 pm
for negotiations. theor the other points, rights of returns, it is completely impossible. will talk ofwe restrictions. my expectation is we will start and talkons conditions. regarding egypt, i have normal relations. embassy and chiron, we have had some relief. is just aggravations between two normal states.
9:25 pm
regarding the relations with saudi, of course weregarding arg to fix things in that region. talks and we are looking for a deal between saudi arabia and egypt. public statements will be necessary regarding that issue. >> i think i speak for everyone when i say thank you so much. that is all the time we have. i appreciate it.

9:29 pm
can briefly. questionsonly a few about the climate. we need to change. we still use fossil fuels for 80% of all of the energy in the economy. notwithstanding, the disagreement facades that built here in our political culture. there is a massive consensus worldwide, the paris agreement signed by every nation in the world. it is not enough, it is for real. mother nature is increasingly insistent with extreme weather events that are growing more destructive and more frequent all over the world. >> can you give us a feel for it?
