what is your reading of the relationship between obama and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu there were many who stayed that netanyahu is a recent visit there so obama backtracking on what he what he said and essentially becoming a puppet of netanyahu you could see the there was not a lot of chemistry in this meeting but i think not too much would be to this kind of music would you say that the relationship between the united states and israel is colder than it's ever been before. with all of the united states we would be in a much more difficult position not only because of the veto but because of the support that we get from them. i think the relationship not only on the political level it's also cultural and ideological. they know that we are so far the only or the most important democracy in the middle east do not think a bomb has lost credibility in the arab world there was so much hope when he came

to power and he certainly seems to have remained a very close friend of israel as you say i think that. the palestinians put a lot of hope. in the obama administration to be the honest broker. i think they still see this way just this morning we were announced this i believe. the obama administration made it very clear that they are going to veto in the security council. course to become a full members of the unit in the nation so you know the trust that. is at the moment in trying to achieve peace in the region in they know that he is trying to save himself as an honest broker is there the possibility that the united states could veto the establishment of a palestinian state and still the general assembly would recognize that. mission of the list. state was already announced in nineteen eighty eight. and nothing

happened so this can happen again and again we're not going anything to the palestinians a what can what it can achieve is the continuation of the illegitimate zation of the state of israel and this is something that i think can be avoided only through bilateral talks do you have faith that netanyahu is serious about peace i have faith in him because for the last two years when i served my country is the israeli ambassador to the united nations a saw i watch very clearly not only what he said in the belly landing in first speech which was two states for two countries but also the way that he acted in freezing for ten months building in the settlements which no current no government the ever before why didn't we hear so much about settlement building taking place despite the construction freeze that there was not the continuation of

the building in those ten months but in those ten months what happened was that the palestinians did not move in spite of the fact the the free there was a freeze which never happened before there were no buildings except maybe some place for expansion and still nothing happened is so it's not us to blame it's the palestinians who did not move for those a whole year and they know peace talks took place in they also think the americans also did their part in making the palestinian sit on their hands a abbas and said it in so many words he said the obama put us on a tree he went down from the settlements you know the whole resistance in resisting on me is stopping all freezing the building and i was left on the tree this is what i wasn't himself said so with the phrase did not appear in the for the last two years or even more since gus. little parisian we did not have any peace talks do

you think of the dollar lieberman the country's foreign minister is good for israel he was appointed by. a government that was elected with the quality election i know that many people think the he's not the right person to represent israel in the world it what takes place now but this is a decision that was taken by the leadership by an attorney i was the prime minister i'm not going to comment on it the u.s. president barack obama has publicly committed the united states to peace based on the one nine hundred sixty seven borders what is the benefit to him of sameness in public you know the obama administration unlike former administration is very much engaging with the world with the muslim world which is the african and say i could see the way that the obama as a. representative of us of the little susan rice the way the cheek

acts at the united nations the way that she acts the way that she embraces the way that she engaged in really a want to be an honest broker in the middle east and not to be perceived as they were for so many years is being one sided in supporting only israel i think this is his idea in a new way this is what former administration said as well but he made it very very clear that this would be the basis for the coming peace what is will be secure within pre nine hundred sixty seven borders i think this is for our leaders in the defense minister to decide i think we will get the government does that we need in the israeli army is a very powerful and can put. in any borders you have said that israel's international status is at an all time low do you think that this is because of its settlement building this. looking objectively i don't think it's us to blame i

think the palestinians are getting israel and they have a strategy of illegitimate easing the state of israel they failed in the walls they failed in their cannot make boy caught a cultural boy called they failed in trying. to tell all in the streets and the buses all over israel now they have a diplomatic complaining against israel and i think they succeeded in showing israel as the occupier. is that powerful a power over in the west bank and especially in gaza and the people in the suffering of the people there which i do not want to belittle but still this is part of the strategy in i think this is why we are being the legitimized in the whole and they know that only the peace talks once they will be started when

going back to the right track in the keep this in the stop this kind of thing if that was the action of the state should the palestinians unilaterally declare a palestinian state which will israel's reaction be i don't know but you know some people here say that. we can also take unilateral steps. like the disengagement i know that all kinds of unilateral on our side or on the palestinians. going to home and to be an obstacle to the peace in the region in the i don't know how we will react but they still hope that the palestinian will understand that this kind of unilateral declaration will bring them no work this is not the way to achieve what everybody wants which is peace with least some kind of security in the. suffering. the clashes. we saw

recently along the northern israeli border do you think that this could be a precursor to what we're going to see in september you know it really. assured me. here's someone going to put this thing in the promotes and they say that he's afraid they come september. they'll be they don't and that's one of the curation always nothing would happen and the young students who are the palestinians still schoolbooks look around and see what happens in the region they may rise and there will be. so this is something that i think also should be taken into account and they should be prevented do you think there's a possibility of unease radiative and on the wall when i hope that the army there with the fans and the intelligence people will know how to avoid it because war is something that nobody or each side of the border really wants. or we'd be getting
