this was inside arafat his entire life, and in 2004, it was outside of arafat, and you had an israeli leaders, you had four israeli prime ministers that have said we'll take a two-state solution. they said it. how many different ways can they say it? it takes leadership, and once the leaders say it, then we have to be there to support them and urge them and nudge them and con encourage them to make the arab statings around them do the -- states around them do the same thing. that's transformation. it has to start at the top. you cannot have leaders who manage. you have to have leaders with courage. therefore, i don't see it happening now. maybe abbas is just an interim leader. that's transformational. >> you can find of the rest of the discussion online at the c-span video library. heading now to the floor of the u.s. senate gaveling in for speeches. legislative work starts at 4 eastern time considering appropriations for agriculture, commerce, justice departments, and at judicial nomination with a vote at 5:30. you're watching live coverage of the senate here on c-span2. senate will

even back when arafat was alive. i think egypt is willing to move forward and do these kind of mediations without consulting with the united states or other parties. >> there are thousands of other prisoners in israeli jails. what hope is there for them? are they likely to be free? >> this was a one-off deal. the first half of the prisoners were released, but they already know who was going to be released. israel has done this several times, this is not the first of these prisoner swaps. they're sometimes been prisoners released as goodwill gestures in order to move negotiations forward. . >> for the latest on the prisoner swap deal, go to our web site where you'll find reaction from families of some of the thousands of prisoners in exchange for the captured israeli soldier. bbc.com/news. to libya, and the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has held talks with the libyan internal authority in tripoli. mrs. clinton said that she was proud to be standing on the soil of a free libya and it was a privilege to see it

general assembly was not the head of a government, was yasser arafat in 1974. and then from there you go through a whole series of precedents in which rights and recognition was given to an organization it was not the government of the state, that was never given to any other organization that was not the government of state, and that was to the plo. so the plo, palestinian liberation authority, has had this favored status at the u.n. because outside of the security council, the u.n. is run by the non-aligned movement and it is largely controlled by the organization of islamic conference. and so for a long time the arabs have been able to pass in the u.n., except in the secure to counsel, any vote they wish, saying anything on this subject. and so, to go back to the u.n. for another sanctification of the palestinian righteousness is, it's sort of the easiest possible move for abbas to take, to address his own people about what they would need, what deal is realistic in terms of having peace and having a state is probably the most difficult thing for him to do.

i think it is instructive that moment we thought we had with 93 under arafat came with quite specific circumstances in which the united states in effect have on the cold war the soviet union was defeated we had won a real war in iraq and defeated a middle eastern tyrant the arafat supported and we proceeded to the negotiations with palestinians outside of the plo and it was only in that context that arafat's moly made the decision he did to at least not the words that he was recognizing israel to put himself back in the game for the oslo process and the negotiations with the prime minister ruffini. i don't think there's any direct application to our approach toward the palestinian issue today to things we can learn including but perhaps most important role of the united states while it's important and all this nonsense the palestinian gambit in the role in the peace process i think it's true now as it was 20 years ago that the door to peace and the settlement in the middle east only goes through israel and because it goes through israel it goes through the united states and the essent

arafat for going into diplomacy and they threw their support behind hamas. it wasn't before 2004 that came under full control after a series of domestic terrorist attacks that the saudis turned off the spigot going to hamas over the years so this is a vacuum that was filled by iran to take over most of the budget so you have that happening during the palestinian civil war iranian training and weaponry that helped hamas takeover the gaza strip to route those forces and all the while it should be noted sudan continued to influence the conflict and delivered rockets and weaponry that came from sudan and travel through egypt into sinai and the gaza strip that has contributed to the thousand of rocket attacks plaguing israel over the years as well as the kidnapping from 2006. the iranian sponsorship of course, of the hamas foreign office and syria and is another area where it is clear that iran has have that influence over the years and has had a crucial role to sustain a loss from almost inception that is lost on many analysts it is just a partially funded proje

operation so you know there's there's nothing unexpected about it it's the build the main do sure it was arafat's summit in a job still it's assad it was a lot in what saddam hussein and now qaddafi and the narrative is so shallow like you know if i had an empty nine the ripper you know what i would do i would put all of these one percent's and all their images to rest and what do you. feel about the power of neda. well it's terrible first of all it's the unified power of africa and nato don't forget this war was started by the french at the same time the top hearts were launched by the african command then it was transferred to nato and those incompetents nestled in brussels it took them seven months to conclude that operation that they set in to begin it would conclude ensue weeks so why it took seven months first of all because they're incompetent second didn't have to be for me certain they start to win the war when president obama had about erected both their eyes in the pentagon to pass the best intel satellite to tell it to the domestic of course to nato commanders in the base in system an

arafat was brought back into the center of the issue. it created an impossibility of an indigenous leaders of growing up in the west bank that represented the interests of the people living there. my reason for raising this is that we have had a lot of discussion about what has been going on in the palestinian authority and some of the efforts of the prime minister building up a structure that could do some good for the people living there. i was just wondering how you saw that dynamic in terms of the oslo agreement and the bringing back of arafat into the region. >> i lived through the oslo time. i was aware even then of the inherent flaws in the process. there were not restrictions on incitement. palestinians were to stop teaching their kids to hate us and telling them that israel had no legitimacy. they are still naming swiss after terrorists who killed israeli civilians . -- naming squares after terrorists who killed israeli civilians. the central problem with the oslo accords, and i was aware of it going back to the 1990's -- there

rather like what happened in 2000 in his negotiations with arafat and bill clinton., it shows you just how close to a settlement you can come in the middle east and how far back we have slid in the years since. >> you say her book offers more insight than she realized. she talks about hurricane katrina and having come to new york on a vacation and a shopping trip and planned to go to the theaters and the day after the storm hit, the airwaves were hit with devastating pictures of new orleans. the faces of most of them were black. i knew i should never have left washington. i called the chief of staff and said i'm coming home. then i called the president. mr. president i'm coming back. i don't know how much i can do. we clearly have a race problem, i said. why don't you come back, he replayed. she points out at the time, she especially essentially was the only face of that administration and this was a great burden, if you will, that she carried theater when she went to see them where people were fighting for their lives. we have a farce on brought way while people wer

we'd won a real war, a hot war in iraq and defeated a middle eastern tyrant that arafat had supported and we continued with negotiations with palestinians outside of the plo. and it was only in that context that arafat swallowed hard and made the decision he did to at least mouth the words that he was recognizing israel to put himself back in the game through the oslo process and the secret negotiations with prime minister rabin, that occurred and i don't think there's any direct application to -- our approach toward the palestinian issue today but i think there are instructive things we can learn including that perhaps the most important role of the united states -- while it's important and i think essentially on the peace process i don't buy any nonsense that the palestinian gambit in new york signals the end of the peace process i think it's true now as it was 20 years that the door to real peace and a real settlement in the middle east only goes through israel. and because it goes through israel, it only goes through the united states as the essentially guarantor of that process a

all kinds of rewriting of that and people have taken liberty and understand it different ways that arafat walked away from an essential solution that everybody thinks is where it ought to be. there's also the argument that is made that mahmoud abbas walked away from a solution that had been offered by prime minister olmert. >> rose: by olmert yes. well, i said to you earlier the leaders lack the courage to do what they know in their heart of hearts they have to do. the doctors are cowards. >> rose: where do leaders get courage? do people have to give them the courage or you have to find leaders who have courage or leaders who have courage will l find... >> leaders who have courage have stood a chance of swaping the majority behind them and recruiting the majority behind them. doesn't always work but it di work a few times in history. it can be done. when anwar sadat camed to israel grabbed israel by the neck and said "let's make peace." when menachem begin contrary to his convictions gave back sinai, that was courage. when charles de gaulle gave back algeria, that was courage. when gorbac
