benjamin: why is it? bob: because otherwise we wouldn't walk in the door in fear that we would be walking out in handcuffs. that's not a joyously good day. [laughter] benjamin: there's a reason for this process. and the reason for this process is that if we're walking in there, it's to say, look, we have this story. we think it is important and raises the following big policy concerns for the united states, whether it's the wireless -- the warrantless wiretapping thing. david: or whether it's the use of cyberweapons by the united states against another state for the first time. and the precedent that it sets. and what we're trying to get at is the concept that you can have a vigorous discussion about the policy implications of a hugely important program for the united states. without necessarily blowing the how of how it's done. the example here really is in nuclear. most analogies to nuclear weapons don't work. particularly, i find, i write a lot in the cyber field, they don't work in sibe, but one does.

benjamin netanyahu, occupied west bank. benjamin neta nyahu, when occupied west bank.tanyahu, when donald trump was a candidate for the white house, not that long ago, although it seems like a lifetime now, seemed to support some of his immigration policies, the idea of a wall being built on the southern border with mexico. mr netanyahu believed it was a good idea, a wall, he believed, had helped deal with some of the problems involving palestinian terror attacks. he thought that was a good idea. both men have now moved inside the white house. they will be having their talks and a press conference will take place. we have lost the picture, but a press conference will take place in the next few minutes. let's go to gary 0'donoghue, standing by. the suggestion from one white house official that a long—term middle east peace will perhaps not involve a two—state solution, is that something that is actually beginning to get any traction in the united states 7 to get any traction in the united states? i think, to be honest, they are feeling their way a little bit towards a p

that benjamin netanyahu that he has been... that benjamin neta nyahu has that he has been...njamin netanyahu has been using in the uk it is, as they identify, a fiddly for this normalisation of settlements. when you add that benjamin netanyahu will be looking at trump as a more sympathetic president and administration in the us, it almost rubber stamps... the us, it almost rubber stamps... the us almost rubber stamps is rarely policy. this is a worrying sign for those of us who talk to the palestinian two state solution, which does seem sadly unlikely stop wait to make it clear for those who wa nt wait to make it clear for those who want a wait to make it clear for those who wanta —— wait to make it clear for those who want a —— unlikely. to make it clear, benjamin netanyahu was in the uk. a lot of the coverage talks about his coverage of the ran almost trying to deflect attention from what's going on in terms of this housing settlements. it seems to be a concerted policy by the israelis. last week we had pictures of what was about to happen in on illegal settlement, because

this is the excuse, this is the coalition that benjamin netanyahu formed. we had another coalition.d the idea of two states, or basically the idea of concessions and steps towards the palestinians, and he toppled his own government and led to elections by saying that he wants to form a coalition based on what benjamin netanyahu called his "natural partner". it is true. i'm not saying it's a natural partner... would you go back into government with benjamin neta nyahu, if he were to be open to accepting the deal that you say is still on the table, a deal to — to head towards peace? when, a year ago, when this deal or the offers, or what was on the table, was, when i was told about it, and i was asked whether i wanted to join the government based on this, i asked several hard questions. a few questions, frankly. is he willing to free settlements outside of their blocks? is he willing to give up the far right in his coalition? is he willing to make more positive comments on the arab peace initiative? and when the answer was no, i said no to the question whether i would join the coaliti

going the other way, benjamin netanyahu going the other way, benjamin neta nyahu is going the other wayng that through britain's membership of the security council to put more pressure on iran. maybe he will succeed in doing that, but britain is wedded to the michelin agreement which is deliberately very narrowly braced, it is not about other things that iran may or may not do. some may argue that donald trump reshapes how the middle east works as a region. the subscribed to that? potentially, but it is a bit too early to say. the way things have gone so far, it is possible that donald trump will have an impact on the middle east, not the one he was expecting in terms of the things he has done already. the ban on freedom of movement from people from those countries, muslim majority countries, muslim majority countries, has, ithink, deep in countries, muslim majority countries, has, i think, deep in the perception that the us wants to have a waragainst perception that the us wants to have a war against muslims. that is a widely held view in that part of the world. the impression gained b

dheepthika: trump said i would like you to hold back on settlements, he said to benjamin netanyahu. the paper noted the clear change in tone and substance from trump's visit to barack obama's visit. trump said the two-state solution is not seen as the only solution. another paper which tends to be pro-netanyahu takes a different stance on its front page. the paper reminds readers that trump never said a two-state solution is off the table, and they quote him as saying a one-state or two-state solution -- whichever one you want. let's look at "the new york times," which called trump's statements nonsensical and dangerous. saying that there is less reason than ever that he can succeed where so many presidents have saved -- so many presidents have failed. the meeting shows how netanyahu prefers to "shamelessly lick trump's boots." inevitable fall will come one day when netanyahu disagrees with trump. trumpn see donald effectively cradling netanyahu in his arms in this one paper's cartoon. is in direct contradiction to the comments yesterday, showing that the u.s. is losing credibility.

the president said so in a joint news conference with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> general flynn is a wonderful man. he's been treated very, very unfairly by the media. as i call it, the fake media in many cases. and i think it's really a sad thing that he was treated so badly. i think in addition to that, from intelligence, papers are being leaked, things are being leaked. it's criminal action, criminal acts and it's been going on a long time before me but now it's really going on. people are trying to cover up for a terrible loss that the democrats had under hillary clinton. i think it's very, very unfair what has happened to general flynn, the way he was treated and the documents and papers that were illegally -- i stress that -- illegally leaked. >> shepard: covering up for a a terrible loss for secretary clinton and documents very bad. this is all brand new. yesterday the president spokesman and the most recent version of the flynn explanation said he lied to pence. the president lost trust and president trump asked for his resignation. that's what his spoke

yamiche, meeting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu wednesday. will the president be able to hit the reset button with israel the way he says he's going to? >> i mean that's a tough thing to decide. i mean, i think this relationship is something that's been very closely watched. when i was on the campaign trail a lot of people voted for donald trump because they felt like president obama didn't have the same close relationship that they wanted to see with israel. now they're hoping that this president will have a closer relationship with that. but we already see the trump administration backing off on this idea that they were going to be supporting more settlements in israel. that tells me right there that the u.s. policy might not change that much with israel. there might be -- it might look like it's different. it might be a different person but if donald trump is saying you can't build settlements, it inhibits peace in the region, that's a big deal. >> what will that do to the relationship when you're looking at the relationship that president

benjamin netanyahu visiting today. a massive reset in us- visiting today. the card. under the 0bama administration, relations work terrible. they didn't like each other. the peace process run into the sand and nothing was happening. looking for a reset. run into the sand and nothing was happening. looking fora reset. i think this administration is still working out what its policy is. we heard a white house brief talking about a two state solution, maybe, maybe not. that has been a cornerstone of american policy on the middle east for the last couple of decades. i think they are feeling their way. today will be about what they call in the media the optics, they call in the media the optics, the warm new relationship. a bit of noise about iran on which they can agree. i don't think you'll hear anything concrete today about what a new israeli palestine peace process will look like at this stage. let's go tojonny diamond in jerusalem. it looks like they are moving away from a two state solution. it goes down differently amongst different people. the nationalis

i think he took benjamin netanyahu by surprise.min netanyahu is looking at him, he said, we'll try. how did you read that moment? >> well i read the moment very clearly as to the no daylight, no gaps, no surprises. we lost that in the last years. and this is, you know, with a smile, the return of the intimacy is absolutely important. it is strategic. it convey as message that the united states and israel will work that message goes very far and very clear into the middle east because only a really, a, a front, a coordinated front between the united states and israel can make peace possible. liz: okay. so i'm so glad you're here to give us that particular take and looking at it through that prism because some is people looked at that and said, whoa, wait a minute is he walking back what he had said, let me support the settlements? in fact i don't know if a lot of our viewers know this, president trump did invite israeli settlers to his inauguration. he has donated money to israeli settlements t was a very sort of natural moment and

meeting today with benjamin netanyahu. donald trump did defend the national security adviser he just fired, general michael flynn. blaming the firing not on flynn, but u.s. intelligence and their leaks. jonathan karl leading us off. >> reporter: today president trump welcomed the third foreign leader at the white house in less than a week. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. but overshadowing the visit the sudden firing of the man at the center of his national security team, michael flynn. just 24 hours ago, the white house said flynn was ousted for deceiving the vice president about his conversation with the russian ambassador and losing the confidence of the president, but today. >> general flynn, is a wonderful man. i think he has been treated unfairly by the media, as i call it the fake media in many cases. and i think it's really a sad thing he was treated so badly. >> reporter: yet it was the president who fired him, and just yesterday, his press secretary said trump did so decisively. >> the evolving and erod

israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. but overshadowing the visit the sudden firing of the man at the center of his national security team, michael flynn. just 24 hours ago, the white house said flynn was ousted for losing the confidence of the president after deceiving the vice president about his conversations with the russian ambassador. but today -- >> general flynn is a wonderful man. i think he has been treated very, very unfairly by the media, as i call it, the fake media in many cases, and i think it's really a sad thing that he was treated so badly. >> reporter: yet it was the president who fired him, and just yesterday, his press secretary said trump did so decisively. >> the evolving and eroding level of trust as a result of this situation and a series of other questionable instances is what led the president to ask for general flynn's resignation. >> reporter: the so-called "series of questionable instances" included flynn's failure to tell the truth about his conversations with the russian ambassador in decem

anthony, it was unlike anything we saw between president obama and benjamin netanyahu.ou read this? that's exactly it, no secret benjamin netanyahu and barack obama didn't get along, they didn't work well together, i recall a few years ago netanyahu having an address to the us congress without obama meeting with him. they disagreed on middle east peace efforts, barack obama obviously pushed a two state solution, a principal part of their negotiations. many in the obama administration felt neta nyahu negotiations. many in the obama administration felt netanyahu and the israeli government was not cooperating and working in earnest to try to reach an agreement. this is an entirely different sort of relationship. you heard them both almost speaking from the same script talking about radical islamic terrorism and how they needed a common front to defeat it, something you never would have heard out of barack obama's mouth. both men gave state m e nts barack obama's mouth. both men gave statements then invited questions. he is one detail you may be interested in. mr trump has

i think the best example would be benjamin netanyahu with israel. israel being an ally of the united states and having barack obama administration attempted to influence that election. personally, i'm okay with there being hearings about whether russia did things in the american election certainly we are aware of russia's purportedly having truthful information about the democratic party, leaders, and hillary clinton and the e-mails that were later released to the public. i'm okay with us having an investigation about that. >> but you're -- >> let's be clear what we're talking about. >> let's follow your point then. you're saying it's more to talk about the israeli election and you're saying the obama administration's role in the american election in 2016. the allegations here about russia in the american election in 2016 involve hacking into private e-mails, essentially stealing people's e-mails and publicizing those. what is the equivalent action you're saying the obama administration took? >> i'm talking about in a general sense, the interference
