netanyahu there were many who stayed in that netanyahu his 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. without 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 their relationship it's 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 you not think a bomb has lost credibility in the arab world that 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. 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 a course to become a full members of the will of the nations so you know the trust that the obama is at the moment in trying to achieve peace in the region in they know that he is trying to perceive 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 palestinian state was already announced in one thousand eighty eight by yasser arafat and nothing different so. this can happen again and again will not gain

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 pilot 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 body land in the speech which was two states for two countries but also the way that he acted in freezing for ten months the building in the settlements which no current no government did ever before why then do 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 the

palestinians they don't move in spite of the fact the the freeze 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 palestinians sit on their hands a abu mazin said it in so many words he said the obama put us on a tree he went down from the settlements you know the only resistance there is this thing on me is stopping or freezing the building and i was left on the tree this is what i wasn't himself said so with the phrase did not help in the for the last two years or even more since gus led operation we did not have any peace talks do you think of the door lieberman can. foreign minister is good for israel he was

appointed by. a government that was elected in the democratic 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 the 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 nine hundred sixty seven borders what is the benefit to him of sameness in public you know that 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. representative of the of the lies the way the cheek acts united nations the way that she acts the

way that she embraces the way that she engaged in they really want to be an honest broker in the middle east and not to be perceived as they were for so many years being one sided and supporting on israel i think this is his idea in a new way this is what former minnesota szell 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 is that we need in the israeli army is 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 he said. looking objectively i don't think it's us to blame i think the palestinians. now israel and they have

a strategy of to legitimize ing the state of israel they favor in the walls they failed in their cannot make boy called a cultural boy called they failed a trying. to tell all in the streets and the buses all over israel now they have a diplomatic comparing 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 the i think this is why we are being the legitimized in the hope and they know that only the peace talks once they will be started when bring us back to the right track in the keep this stop this kind of tenet of some

of the state should the palestinians unilaterally declare a palestinian state what 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 i still hope that the palestinian will understand that this kind of unilateral declaration will bring them nowhere this is not the way to achieve what everybody wants which is peace with least some kind of security in the. suffering. clashes that 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 really really.

me who. has some we're going to put a sting in there that promotes and politicians and they say that he's a free and they come september. they'll be the one and that's one of the curation always nothing would happen. the young students who are the palestinians still schoolbooks look around and see what happens in their words and 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 wall when i hope that the army and there will be france and the intelligence people will know how to avoid it because war is something that nobody in each side of the border really wants all we be getting anything out of it professor thank you very much for joining us here on r.t.
