and he didn't say a word about it as you say the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu government has moved from being a right wing government to extreme right wing government exactly but even if netanyahu wanted to make peace with the palestinians his hands are not tied by the israeli government well of course because he created the settlement movement or he contributed to the system of movement he made the settlers so strong now they are inside the government three of them are ministers another one is the head of the financial committee and police it is so it's a monster that netanyahu himself created and participated in creating and now he cannot complain that he cannot do much because of this monster. he is part of the problem. and not part of the solution there are many who say that it's in america's interest to continue the occupation it's good business if nothing else do you agree with us i know that there is a strategic alliance between the united states and israel i think continuation of occupation and a system of apartheid that's going to addictive to the same values tha

the french prime minister said netanyahu was very difficult to deal with. the french prime minister is probably, too. >> you can understand how netanyahu is with regard to what he has to put up with. but with regard to obama's visit to israel, we all know what a great speaker obama is. and if he could sway a country, twice, he could sway another country to like him. >> although i think the last meeting was more friendly. >> as i say, he is a great speaker. and no matter what he says -- [inaudible] >> i think with respect to obama, his statements about the settlement i think certainly his prediction with respect to the future is something we have to listen to. because people don't seem to realize that the settlements do not change. within 20 years the jews will be a minority in israel, and that is, that would be catastrophic to make israel an apartheid state. so i think at all cost there must be some kind of settlement that will prevent the jews becoming a minority there within 20 years. >> right. i agree. spent i know there's a lot of good discussion that r

>> you can understand how netanyahu would be to go to deal with. we all know what a great speaker obama is. and if you could sway a country twice, he could sway another country to like him. >> the only thing that was the outcome positive. >> with respect to obama the settlements have certainly his prediction with respect to the future is something we have to listen to because people don't seem to realize that the settlements do not change within 20 years the jews will be a minority in israel. and that would a catastrophic to make israel an apartheid state. so i think at all costs, there must be some kind of settlement that would or events event the jews from becoming a minority they are for 20 years. >> i agree. there are a lot more hands up and a lot of good discussion but right now i'm standing between a lot of people and food. we'll have to talk a little bit afterwards on your own. thank you. >> thank you very much. thank you very much.

prime minister netanyahu speaking to aipac in 2011 since 650,000. i think that's a little bit exaggerated. it's in the hive 500,000s. settlers are one in ten of jewish israelis; these and other facts on the ground were explicitly intended by israeli planners to make impossible the option of a two-state solution. i'm amused when people talk about settle. locks those of were but there by'em whose intention was to achieve prime minister begin's vision. theyjust sprout like mushrooms. they were planned by strategic planners, like sharon, people who knew what they were doing. they intended to make a two-state solution impossible. these settlements and the rigid matrix of control they necessary tate over the four million people of the occupied territories now in my view, constitute obstacles to the prospect of a two-state solution. this outcome has not just been made possible by american inaction. this country has been actively involved in crafting this outcome. as policymakers and politicians have willfully ignored the role in producing this outcome of t

and prime minister netanyahu read the formal apology over the phone and my prime minister said it is accepted. >> rose: so what are the consequences given the apology and apology stepped on the relations between israel and turkey and the future? >> that bilateral to get back to normal step by step there are two more things, one of them is to lift the embargos located on gaza. >> rose: right. >> now gaza is like an awful prison and we have to form lies that. >> is that going to happen? >> that is what we expect, as part of our condition. >> the condition was they eliminate -- >> that's right. that's right. and also for those turkish student who were killed, we believe that da. >> rose: compensation. >> the families should be compensate disbhd and the israelis said they would do that. >> that they would do that and there is a small negotiation team working on that subject. turkish israeli relations are very important for the whole region, because the region itself is going through a historical transformation process, countries like egypt, like tunisia, libya, yemen are trying to change

netanyahu there was a phone call made to the prime minister of turkey apolizing for flotilla incident. what did that achieve with respect to the relationship between israel and turkey? >>s it an event that happened many years ago was an event during which for the very first time ever after the first world war our citizens were killed by an orderly army of another country, so it was a big event for us. and the least that we could ask for was a formal apology, which happened three years -- >> rose: you asked for a number of years and you had the prime minister and the president at this table say -- >> and what happened was there was actually a text which was being negotiated on, and we were insistent to have some terms and some verbs and overall approach, and finally that text was agreed on between the two countries and prime minister netanyahu when he was together with president obama in the same room they called my prime minister together. first president obama talking to my prime minister and then gave the money to prime minister netanyahu and prime minister netanyahu read the formal

joel rosenberg joins, former aide to prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and author of "dead heat."ssile launch and nothing more, what's incalculable, however, is that both leaders -- north korea and south korea -- are new, and to some extent president obama has not been tested by crisis. does that make this all the more dangerous? >> it certainly does, gregg, and you've got a situation in which north korea now has had three nuclear weapons tests since 2006. it's not entirely clear whether they have miniaturized the nuclear warheads and are able to attach them into the ballistic missiles. some experts believe they can, some aren't sure. so there's a lot of indecision about exactly how to handle it not knowing if north korea actually has weapons that they could fire that are nuclear weapons. but you're right, these leaders on both sides are untested, and president obama has never faced a nuclear crisis. this is akin to the cuban missile crisis if it goes much further. now, hopefully, it's just huffing and puffing. gregg: right. >> but there could be a miscalculation here. gregg: ther

does the leadership, netanyahu understand that? >> well, ehud barak was the prime minister and the defense minister. >> i understand that but he's not the prime minister now. >> he's not in government now and there are many who understand that but don't agree with it they think they can have both. they think they can control certain areas there and have a democratic state. i don't think that's going to be possible. >> rose: when you say jewish society, what does that mean? >> that means described as a jewish state. that's what -- >> rose: it doesn't have to be a democratic state? >> well, no, i think it should be a democratic state. >> rose: well it can't be a democratic state if they fear that they are democratically they will lose their power. >> well, that's the point that barack made in which i was making. however, it is possible and certainly to have a jewish and democratic state. barack. i mean, you don't take the position that there can't be a muslim in a democratic state. turkey is a muslim democratic state. there are many

and john kerry said even israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has not confirmed the claims in theeport. >> i think it's fair for me to say that he was not in a position to confirm that in the conversation that i had. and so it's up to him and their process as to when and how they do that. not for me to make any other announcements except to say to you that i don't know yet what the facts are. i don't think anybody knows what they are. >> i don't think anybody knows what the facts are. that's the key statement from the secretary of state, and prime minister netanyahu's office has refused to publicly comment. >> the chemical weapons convention leaves certain chemicals out, which could in theory be used as a weapon. for instance, tear gas. mace. white phosphorus. none of those are actually considered weapons, unless they're used in an offensive manner. now, the attack we saw last month, some said they believed that may have been white phosphorus but he didn't see any of the real signs of a nerve gas like feron. that would be under clause one of the chemical weapons convention. so we

maybe net netanyahu.nd there's a sense if you're the american president, you can make anything move. then you bump against reality. it's not enough to be obviously the candidate of change, the president of change, there is a certain reality on the ground. sometimes the personality for president can help make things move along. you have to remember that players on the ground have their own agenda, their own domestic considerations, their own fears and concerns about what they can give up on or not give up. then there was this moment when hillary clinton shows the locality to the president -- locality to the president. without revealing too much to the readers about the plot, there is a moment where she shows loyalty and exercises a statement that the president has made in a they the players on the ground, the pam -- palestinians and israelis feel they are stuck in a certain position. they have to unblock that. but the palestinians are sitting there thinking well, you know, we're not going to be more britis

this morning he'll sit down with talks with israeli leaders and prime minister benjamin netanyahu in jerusalem. yesterday, netanyahu marked a remembrance day with a visit to the holocaust museum and marked 70 years since the warsaw ghetto uprising in world war ii. >>> to capitol hill, where there may be a bipartisan deal on a gun control measure this week and calls for expanding further background checks on customers buying firearms at gun shows or online vendors. although considered a compromise it could be a significant break through for the president pushing congress for new gun restrictions. >>> search crews near charlotte, north carolina, are desperately looking for two small children at a residential construction site. they apparently fell into a hole and were buried under the dirt. several fire departments sent crews with heavy equipment and climbing gear. but after all of their efforts it appears they were unable to save the 6-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy. >>> roger ebert is being remembered later today at a memorial service in chicago. the movie critic died last week aft

prime minister benjamin netanyahu says they can only rely on themselves. israelis stopped on monday to pay their respects to victims of the holocaust. he addressed them at a ceremony a day earlier. >> translator: what has changed since the holocaust is our determination and ability to defend ourselves. we won't leave our fate in the hands of others even our closest friends. >> he's said israel is prepared to act unilaterally to strike iran. they failed to bridge their differences over the iranian nuclear program. >>> on a official in shanghai says another person infected with the bird flu has died. 24 people in china are known to have contracted the virus. officials are working to find out how it spreads. they have found no evidence that the virus can be transmitted from person to person. chinese officials say all of the infections to date are in people living in shanghai and three neighboring provinces. health workers conducted a survey of 621 people who came into contact with those infected. none of them have contracted the virus. chinese authorities hav

that the syrian regime started using chemical weapons prompting kerry to telephone and benjamin netanyahu for more information. >> he was not in a position to confirm that in the conversation that i had, so it is up to and and their process as to have when and how they do that, not for me to make any other announcements except to say that i don't know yet. >> months ago, described the use of chemical weapons as a red line that would transform the conflict without saying how the u.s. would respond. nato said they would not prompt it to intervene. >> there's no call for nato to play a role, but if these challenges remain unaddressed, they could directly affect our own security. we will continue to remain extremely vigilant. >> they will be stationing patriot missiles there. the alliance is still hoping for a diplomatic solution, likely to determine whether moscow keeps the telling the regime. john kerry held a one-on-one talks with his russian counterpart, but moscow remains supportive of bashar all assaad. >> they believe the two boston marathon bombing suspect work "self-radicalized extre

interly in the first two years in office, but the question of iran's nuclear program, benjamin netanyahu's preferred subject, in exchange ever since. the climb down was complete, and i argue that was seen, yet again, in the bulk of the speech therntly in jerusalem. s writing on the subject, and, aain, the corrupt language played a crucial role. for decades, the repeated man tray of a peace process served to obscure reality. this is the reality that whatever the united states was championing, it was not, in fact, capable of or directed at achieving just and lasting peace between palestinians and israelis. i would argue that most people in the world argue, and everybody outside the beltway and some in israel argue that a just peace brings about -- brings the conflict between the two people on a fair basis would have looked very different as the united states pursued for decades, and such a peace is dismantling of the 46-year-old document and all pertinences and of the enterprise in the west bank and east jerusalem would involve national determination for the palean people, n inalienable righ

. >> meeting with benjamin netanyahu to revive middle east peace talks, secretary of state john kerry says he will be working with israeli and palestinian leaders to improve relations. he warned against seeking a rushed resolution saying it's important to first seek trust. >> the german justice minister in china for annual talks on the rule of law, part of the meeting. >> has been barred for leaving the city because it allegations of tax evasion that he has never faced formal charges. >> we have more on a man stuck in a legal limbo. it has been one year since they raided his beijing office and arrested the german shipping agent. they interrogated him in this building for 12 hours. without access to a lawyer and an interpreter who barely understood german. he was pressured into signing a statement in chinese. in the middle of the night, he was taken to this prison and put in a 20-square meter so with 12 other inmates. >> i thought the whole thing was a mistake. it was extremely emotional to be laying there, trying to sleep, not knowing how the other 12 people are around me and why they

i don't think minister, prime minister netanyahu has actually said this. but where does this lead?s this debate lead? does it put heat on the obama administration? just explain. walk us through this. >> i will. secretary hagel, his first visit to the region, his conversations with israel. the concern here is the word "red line." you recall the prime minister used that at the united nations last fall. the president of the united states and the secretary of state, mrs. clinton, have used the word "red line" with regard to certify i can't, netanyahu used the word "red line" with regard to iran. right now, my information is that jerusalem, israel, the government, is looking to task the obama rhetoric. will they move on syria. because if they won't, that tells israel that the word "red line" has no significance, and therefore, israel has to recalculate its approach toi iran. the politics of this trump the medical facts on the ground. >> steve mcmann, will the president move, if they do find physical evidence of these chemical weapons? >> i think he will. the question is what does moveme

>> secretary of state john kerry is in the middle east and meeting with israeli program binyamin netanyahu amid talks of reviving a decade-old arab plan for peace. he met palestinian president abbas yesterday trying to end 4 1/2 year israeli and palestinian stalemate. john kerry has not publicly outline add new plan but palestinian and arab officials say he wants to modify the 2002 arab peace initiative that offered peace with israel for a pullout from territories captured in 1967. officials say he seeks arab and israeli security commitments. >> there is concern about the possible spread of a new strain of the bird flu. two more human cases have been found in china. six people have died. officials in china say people are contracting the virus through direct contact with foul. there is no evidence that the virus is spreading between people. >> report suggests that parents who want their children to lose weight may want to buy new dinner wear. scientists found that kid whose use larger plates served larger portions. switching to smaller plates meant smaller portions so that can be a strategy

netanyahu identified last year at the un. it appears as though the iranians are deliberately slowing down those parts of the program that they fear could orgger even more sanctions even a military strike, for the time being. that may change after the presidential election. but for now there seems to be some limits on the program. for the future, the most important question is whether or not it's possible to increase the current level of sanctions theutting even further market that iran enjoys in terms of oil exports. that is a real question. up to now, the sanctions have been remarkably successful in terms of limiting iran's oil exports, because there have been alternative sources of oil. china,main customers of india, japan, korea have been willing to cut back. and has had a substantial impact. whether that can continue in the future depends on the global balance of supply and demand for oil. it will depend on economic activity, whether there's an economic recovery and what impact that has on oil. the question of oil exports

because people have been there before benjamin netanyahu thinks he can wait this out and no relief butwe will be here longer than him so we could try to move the ball forward and tell he is said to out because that is the nature of politics but he has just been reelected. but what i would like to remind people of this is for those to say america did this wrong and did not deliver there is truth to that but it is important for people like me to come to grips with their own responsibility with what they can do it must be difficult for the palestinians to feel they have the hipper and because they're not the strongest party at the des negotiating table. but it doesn't help to lay that is ingrained into a lot of people's thinking. >> host: it is just a jumping off point* with the president and hillary clinton how to approach these were their lots of disagreements. >> where she shaping policy were basically implemented policies that came from the white house but the disagreement about the approach that was taken it was in the first year all she wanted was to show loyalty. that is my reading

operation new dawn talk and you don't talk to the this is the level that is really the specially netanyahu has been talking about it that's one reason why i don't think that israel would attack iran the foreman said he demanded gun publicly said that he was against a strike on iran what is he favor instead they are saying that week we should take more. or should being engaged in more coverage operations to try to slow down iranian nuclear sites but above all israel has to be in concert to be coronated with the united states and the international community and israel should not take the lead in the runnion case so their argument is if israel at this specially the guns argument is that if israel attacks the damage of the real limited iran would rebuild its nuclear capacity and would use these really take as a justification for building nuclear the nuclear site again is basically iran would say you see we need nuclear weapons because we were attacked. when you went to book did you have any censorship problems i asked because you you don't talk too much about kid on the mossad unit who was all

an operation new dawn talk and you don't talk to did this the level that is really the specially netanyahu has been talking about it that's one reason why i don't think that israel would attack iran the former mossad leader madigan publicly said that he was against a strike on iran what does he favor instead they are saying that weak we should take more. or should being engaged in more covered operations to try to slow down iranian nuclear sites but above all israel has to be in concert to be called in a did with the united states and the international community and israel should not take the lead in the runnion case so their argument is if israel and the specially the guns argument is that if israel attacks the damage of the limited iran would rebuild its nuclear capacity and would use these really take as a justification for building nuclear the nuclear sites in basically iran would say you see we need nuclear weapons because we were attacked. when you went to book teachers have any censorship problems i ask because you you don't talk too much about kid on the mossad unit who was alleged

interesting the kind of more conservative line he's taking in his new term of course in light of netanyahu his reelection as well let's talk about what you're going to say. say that many people would have hoped that in the second term he would show coverage is that enough to believe that definitely hasn't happened i mean of course that's the whole argument with people who still support him while now he can really let loose and do what he's always wanted to do well now it's actually less of a reason for him to do anything because now isn't the worry about reelection but let's move on to operation israel i heard you talk about this on your most recent broadcast anonymous is launching operation israel already they've allegedly released thirty thousand assad identities online i mean has this been confirmed harry. and what else are they planning to do moving forward of this operation. well i've been speaking to sources inside the collective and absolutely surely they intend to continue the operations throughout the summit as a new hash tag palestine some they have definitely been able to cause

even though the president tried in his first term to revive it he was stonewalled by prime minister netanyahu and i really do think that he is not entirely serious in trying to push it right now and by in effect accepting this israeli variety of israeli preconditions which include allowing israel to continue to gobble up the pie that the two sides are supposed to negotiate dividing the president is in a sense washing his hands i think it's just very interesting the position that the united states kind of kind of takes on this we keep hearing the same rhetoric but i want to play a quick sound bite from former white house press secretary robert gibbs when discussing the peace process i think we have that sound bite we can take a listen the process is always. aided and helped when we are involved in it but we cannot construct middle east peace for abuse really and the palestinians. so we just heard gibbs talking about the u.s. saying that the u.s. cannot construct a peace in the region do you agree with this i mean is it that the united states is incapable of fostering peace or simply going will
