almost 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

that's the nature of politicals in israel but, you know, benjamin netanyahu has just been re-elected.here was a series of miscalculations, i think that what i like to -- what i would like to remind people of is there's a tendency in the arab world and possibly around the world to always say, you know, america did this wrong. it's america's fault. america didn't deliver. i think to some extend there's absolutely truth to that. i think it's also important for people in the region for people like me, people in the arab world to come to grips with their own responsibility about what they can do. obviously it's very difficult for the palestinians to feel like they have the upper hand because, you know, certainly in a difficult position and they're not the strongest party at the negotiating table. but it doesn't help the issues to just blame everything on the united. and that's something that is ingrained in a lot of people's thinking. >> i guess -- i think it's jumping off point. how to approach various situations around the world. what was her role as secretary of state. was she shaping p

we heard secretary of state john kerry say he had spoken to benjamin netanyahu, prime minister of israel, who could not yet confirm the use of chemical weapons. is this not just prudence? >> well, we should have intervened long ago, whether bashir assad was using them or not. he slaughtered 80,000 people while we sat by and watched. it's been one of the most shameful chapters in american history. there is physical evidence, in fact the british stated that there is physical evidence that proves it. the french agree. the israeli intelligence people absolutely are certain. so it's different from an allegation without evidence of a weapons of mass destruction as was the case in iraq. and now there is physical evidence of it and, jake, no one should be surprised that he would do such a thing. we all know he will do whatever is necessary to hang on to power. why should, frankly, chemical weapons be a red line when he is slaughtering and mass raping and torturing his own people, destabilizing the region and, meanwhile, while we do nothing jihadists flood in from all over the arab world and the

i used to make that argument with benjamin netanyahu. >> yes, yes, yes. >> rose: and what did he say? >> their argument is they want peace. they want negotiations. >> rose: they want to be an occupying -- >> well, that wasn't said but it's here that they don't want to be an occupying power. israel is a democracy and i think that the predominant view of the people is they want a two-state solution while there are -- there are many in their society who do not regard this as an occupation and some in the government do not regard it as an occupation. they regard it as disputed territory. i think they recognize the damage it is doing worldwide to their reputation and to their support. >> rose: what has to happen? you said at the beginning of this conversation that every deal can be made. so what has to happen to make a deal between the israelis and palestinians? because every other arab leader says it's important to them. >> i think that ultimately nations, societies, like individuals, act out of self-interest. and, like individuals, nations and societies often have trouble figuring out wh

from israel that, well, and we don't know -- i don't know exactly how the agreement between benjamin netanyahu and president obama, but whatever time is left will be short. it will not be very long. the second big problem that we have is i don't think it will be possible to move from iran and syria. syria has relation with iran really, really deep. i heard somebody in syria tell me our relations with iran is deeper, even between two members of nato, so they really have a very intense relationship, and we felt solving that problem would be very difficult to get a negotiation moving. for iran, syria is a very important actor. for that, we need to get all the pressure possible with russia. russia is a player, can't get out of the situation in syria. but, remember, we have two problems which have linked iran and syria, and we have the p-5 together in one, iran and separated in the other, which is syria. we have a pretty bad situation. that is what i think we have in front of us. the other thing that i would like to mention, the third thing i'd like to mention is sanctions. sanctions has to review

as we all remember, vividly, i'm sure, faced relentless pressure from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, acting in concert with the run republic leadership in congress, and with the potent congressional lobby for israel. this 'pressure forced the president into humiliating retreats from positions on a settlement freeze, on the potential borders of a palestinian state and the urge for such a state he staked out in his first two years in office. as anybody who has followed this conflict knose were positions that had previously been taken by a succession of u.s. presidents. but this president was obliged to abandon them. it was not palestine on which he had focused almost entirely during his first two years in office but the question of iran's nuclear program. netanyahu's preferred subject, which is predominated in exchanges between the two governments ever since. obama's climbed down this is complete and i would argue that is seen in the bulk of his speech recently in jerusalem. these three moments of clarity provide a clear sense of american policies which are thoroughly obfuscated in mo
