b.b. netanyahu believes he know it is core of president trump and what he represents and i think that's to both points were made earlier which were great, the fact that he's focusing on religion means he's willing to see the world through the lens that so much of the region sees the world. the west and america maybe working through post modern era but the middle east, israel, other places still life in that history, religious history, going to the western wall and going to the holy sepulchre, belief that has contributes to both the vibrant of that area but also to the contention as to who owns it, who should be there with mosques and churches and synagogues so he's doing the right things to doing the right places to get a real sense of what it would take to change dynamics. rob: going back to the laptop and the russia meeting which, you know, i think might have been blown out of proportion. i just thought that seemed, look out, they're trying to put bombs and laptops and we had already seen talk of a ban on laptops. it was like that information was out anyway. pete: almost as the media is

b.b. netanyahu accurately pointed out if what happened in manchester had been palestinian bomber and israeli had gotten killed, the palestinian bomber's feamed would -- family would have gotten a stipend. if it does, if somebody can put a deal together, law and order, american investor, if somebody can put a deal together the parameters are probably -- would probably be close to what the clinton administration worked out in 2000. a few hundred meters difference but generally people know where this wld go. you cannot have a deal in which the israelis are always subject to being killed by palestinians. if you -- if you look at the position israeli arabs, israeli citizens that are muslim and sometimes christian, they have their own supreme court justice and they have the representatives, parliament, they have their own press, they go sleep at night without worrying some israeli is going to kick down the door and kill them. that's not the case if you have jews living in the west bank, one of the reasons they have to be in heavily armored fortress-like buildings is otherwise they get killed. mari

netanyahu brushing it off. the two leaders and long-time friends on a first name basis. >> donald. >> b.b., thank you. >> evidence everywhere of their warm relationship. >> we understand each other. >> to israelis, it also helps donald trump is not barack obama. >> i want you to know how much we appreciate the change in american policy on iran. >> that tough talk against iran central to the president's middle east message. >> there is a growing realization among your arab neighbors that they have common cause with you in the threat posed by iran. >> similar language in saudi arabia this weekend in a speech to more than 50 arab leaders. >> for decades, iran has fueled the fires of sectarian conflict and terror. >> in riyadh, the royal treatment for trump and tel aviv, the red carpet rolled out, open arms for a president embattled at home looking for a win and hoping to find one overseas. hallie jackson, nbc news, jerusalem. >>> this is andrea mitchell in jerusalem. president trump dining with the netanyahus and tackling middle east peace, learning on the job. >> i've heard it's one of the toughest deals of all. >>

netanyahu. you and i both know that. >> eric: part of the reason was that president obama tried to get b.b.sed out of office on his last election. he almost actually campaigned and pushed for bebe's competitor. >> katherine: this trip is incredible. this is the version of the trip he likes diplomatic andt tt across the aisle and talk to people. but do you think this is going to be in the news as much because all this russia stuff is in the news? i looked at google search results, the amount of time people are searching trump-russia and it goes in spike. highest spike was when buzz thing came out and when the flynn thing came out it was lower again. not a spike with the comey firing it was a little lower. people might be losing interest in this story. >> eboni: your concern is really important. sid and i can go back and forth about israel. trump is in this area right now. we all need to hope and pray that it goes well. i certainly do. >> katherine: absolutely. >> eboni: to your point, cathy, people need to be engaged as they are will these leaks and everything else coming out of washington.
