benjamin netanyahu is there with angela merkel and mahmoud abbas. there were 40 world leaders that gathered in paris and marched along with 1.6 million people. the gathering was so large that it almost paralyzed the whole city. there is this headline. egypt's leader urges an end to terrorism. they write about a speech given by the egyptian president recently to a bunch of islamic leaders. this was a cairo university. that is on the front page of "the new york times." this is breaking news this morning on twitter. the secretary of state was in india yesterday and arrived in pakistan on announced for a counter terrorism visit. that is happening now. john kerry is in india because the president is traveling there. the secretary of state a head of that visit. he is working with indian officials and talking about business ties and that upcoming meeting for the president. right is in virginia. go ahead. caller: my feeling is that they should -- the people that stood up in paris should have done that. we can't stop all the terrorism that's going on around

benjamin netanyahu is more or less an ally in that sentiment. that's why they brought him here and it's a poke in the eye to say the least to the president on a very very sensitive foreign policy issue, carol. >> so is this what we can expect congress will act on its own and the president will act on his own and that's just how it's going to be in 2015? >> reporter: in some things yes. when the republicans took full control of congress one of the obvious questions was how is this going to be different? from the get-go republicans said to me you'll see a much more robust congress when this comes to countries like iran because republicans tend to be much more hawkish when this comes to iran. and that's what we're seeing here. we're seeing republicans saying we don't want to wait. we want to go forward. we think it's the right thing to do. we don't trust this diplomatic effort that is going to end with the result that the u.s. wants, which ultimately is a nuclear free iran. they don't buy it. they believe the best way to approach this is with more

so does prime minister benjamin netanyahu. this speech here the fact of it a very interesting development. meanwhile, all eyes on yemen right now because the battle against al qaeda could become even more complicated there if militants overthrow the u.s. backed government. at this moment we are told that yemen's president is still in power. that's tenuous at best. rebels have been in control of the capital sanaa for days so this critical u.s. ally sits on saudi arabia's doorstep and is on the brink of collapse with u.s. personnel there inside the u.s. embassy. i want to bring in jim sciutto. how concerned are u.s. officials about the safety of americans in yemen right now? >> reporter: very concerned. you can tell that by the steps they have made to evacuate them if needed. you have two navy warships off the coast to carry off an evacuation by helicopter if necessary. the preference if they come to that judgment is they drive to the airport and fly out commercially. in a pinch if the situation deteriorated so quickly and roads

benjamin netanyahu, and many israelis think that is impossible. that is not a group you can negotiate with. many republicans and many democrats in congress feel that way. is that what you see as the fundamental issue at the heart of this? and where do you come down. >> >> well, i think it is close to the fundamental disagreement. i think that the israelis believe that you could get a deal. but they don't trust that the iranians would hold to it. there are those of us who believe we can put into place a series of intrusive inspections that would gich us the ability to detect the moment at which they breach the deal and start moving toward a nuclear weapon. it's much better than the alternative, which is walk away from negotiations, and effectively leave military action as the only alternative. i think there's clearly a deal. but the president's people will not get a deal if we pass sanctions today. as the netanyahu government apparently wants us to do. so if netanyahu's government is to settle talks, passing sanctions is a good way to do it. from l

i think that there's a separate issue between obama and benjamin netanyahu. that israeli elections does suggest that the administration wants to stay clear on this one. frankly, no meeting with the prime minister of israel even from his perspective is better than a bad meeting. >> what strikes me to my untrained eye and i have you here because you're the scholar in these matter is the dichotomy between the peaceful transition of power in saudi arabia and soon because this new king is what 79 it will be transferred yet again, with what's going on in neighboring yemen. will you speak to that. >> i think you broke the code here michael. the kings have made the transition in the arab spring weathered the arab spring which has become a winter or worse. much better than the phony republics. morocco, qatar, oman the uae emerging as a key american ally in the bloc in the gulf all of these states in large part because of money, some of them have it in large part balls rulers are less cruel and less extracktive than the iraqis and the egyptians, they all maintained a m

president obama has spent more time with benjamin netanyahu than any other world leader. one is, first of all remember part of that time was subjecting him to the abuse of the white house you know which sat him down in the chair and refused to give him a glass of water and spent hours berating him and told him to leave by the back door and alerted the they were throwing the prime minister of israel out the back door of the white house. not particularly quality time. >> howard kurtz came out, he said this interview was beneath the office of the president. and i mean i think tuckner that montage made a good point. he said the horse left the barn a long time ago. didn't that happen when he sent down with pimp with a limp and i get why he does it and i think he actually is genius at it he does it way better than a lot of republicans do. i wish we had republicans that could sit down and do these kind of things. i give him credit for going to that audience and using that medium. the fact that he snubbed benjamin netanyahu, i mean personally karl cutting off diplomatic relations

that would be benjamin netanyahu. israel's prime minister.e house extended an invitation. trouble is, he didn't talk to the white house about it. and many people are saying, you're right about that, that was intentional. the president is speaking live right now. it is not about this issue. you can see him right there. he's in lawrence, kansas. he's on a road trip, so to speak where he's on his way across the country to various locations. right now he's at the university of kansas talking about middle class economics and some of the platforms he put forward in his state of the union speech. that's only the beginning of it, but that's maybe being overshadowed right now by what's happened. the white house giving a clear and firm answer to whether the president will even see prime minister netanyahu when he steps foot on these shores. we're standing by live on that very answer. and the answer is, jim? >> yeah, bit of a mellow drama herein side the beltway. good afternoon, ashleigh. that's right. you set it up nicely. the president is essentially

we saw that benjamin netanyahu and francois hollande were in the grande synagogue and we heard the powerful words from netanyahu. but there is that remaining and burning question of after this show of strength then how do people carry on there in france and in the rest of europe and including other western countries, including the u.s.? >> reporter: well fredricka, you know this idea that western-born young men can go to the middle east, radicalize there, come back with combat experience military training in some of the extremist groups that nightmare scenario appears to have become reality in this country. for many years. since the beginning of the syrian civil war and the expansion of some of these very radical extremist groups and over the last year of isis for instance. that has been the worst case scenario that people have been warning against. it's france that has experienced it first. some experts are saying probably not last. so it's happened. so now that it's happened is it a game-changing event? in the sense that the country is going to have to come together and decide how do we m

we've got israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu there. french president hollande there and others who are gathering there in a show of unity and of strength and of force. it's quite a significant place there in paris. >> reporter: it is significant. this is the grand synagogue of paris. and it was very very tragic last friday that the grand synagogue of did not have a service on friday evening. it was the first time in 1944 that there had not been a service there. so that was very tragic. so the fact that president hollande is going privately with netanyahu and gone to the private service at the synagogue, as well as they are accompanied by muslim leaders, various muslim politicians from here and france are also there. very significant moment. also, i'm not sure if you see it in your pictures there, but they have lit 17 candles, one for each of the victims of the attack last week. some of those victims were christian, some were muslim and some were of the jewish faith. this is almost like an ecumenical service of all three faiths coming t

so are israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and jordan's king abdullah. security, of course, will be very, very tight. a french police source tells cnn that terror sleeper cells have been activated in the last 24 hours in france. obviously, something, some information of grave, grave concern. french officials are planning to use what they're calling exceptional measures to protect everyone. thousands of police officers have formed, plain clothed, detectives, all being deployed across the french capital. french snipers, anti-terrorism officers stationed along the route. law enforcement enforcement officers are ordered to erase all their social media presence. they also must keep their weapons at hand at all times. that is not standard operating procedure here in france to have weapons on you at all times. the french police woman killed on thursday did not have a gun with her is my understanding. let's bring in cnn's reporter who is also here in paris. there were top level minute steeral talks here in paris ahead of today's march planning for it, talking ab

we are hearing the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu.french president may not have been comfortable with his presence as what qualified as a french unity march. we're hearing from israel sources one concern was a security concern and his presence would make it more difficult to protect the world leaders in the way they need to be. it wasn't necessarily a political thing. that being said we understand from our sources, once benjamin netanyahu did confirm his presence president abbas, president of the palestinians was invited and we saw these world leaders walking in silence. it was quite a sight. i'm guessing the discussions you're having with your president president obama, politics are never tootoo far from even the most some hem unity marches. >> that is very true hala. i want to ask you this because newt gingrich tweeted, sad 50 world leaders could show solidarity in paris but president obama refused to participate. the cowardice continues. cowardice? >> frankly, i think that's a little much. i think we shouldn't let this issue steal

benjamin netanyahu is on his way to paris to participate in a unity march tomorrow.is jonathan lawrence national security analyst bob baer and former nypd detective, harry houck. jonathan if i can begin with you tonight. you have in effect a dual threat now. a clear terror threat to jewish targets in the city and country as we saw yesterday and the attack on the kosher market. but you have also had a number of reprisal attacks against islamic institutions. synagogues kabob shops. it's coming from both sides. how does a society counteract that invariable human emotion of revenge on one side but also the terror threat on the other? >> it's something we're familiar with i think, from the aftermath of 9/11 when we too had to come together as a country in the face of what was really a divisive polarizing act. and that's what the trick is here. to call for national unity the politicians have done that. they want to it get the mainstream parties together. right now they have for tomorrow's march. but not all parties will participate. some of them have decided to hold their

elise, we just got word that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, assembled his security cabinet for an assessment meeting. what does all this mean? what are you hearing now about a potential escalation along the border between israel, lebanon and syria? >> reporter: wolf the israelis answered that artillery fire and those missile attacks into israel today with air strikes against hezbollah across the lebanese border and with ground artillery into the lebanese border. prime minister netanyahu saying israel will not stand for another front -- open front with hezbollah, warning hezbollah in effect about what happened to hamas in gaza during operation protective edge saying they could have the same fate. israeli military sources isiss are saying they seem to be kind of satisfied with the israeli response which was immediate and punishing, they feel. and they are hoping it could de-escalate. but as you know from covering the middle east for so long one wrong move on either side of the border and it could quickly spiral out of control. >> it certainly could. that's the great fear right no

that's what he's going to hear from benjamin netanyahu.ar there needs to be new sanctions, there should be no deal with iran. there is no deal that we could accept, and i think it's a very dangerous move because this is really about the divergence between the policy of the united states and the policy of israel where there is some real difference. this is not what secretary of state kerry said yesterday, last night when he said there is no difference between the u.s. and israel on what we want to accomplish. we all want to prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons. the problem is that is not the israeli position. that is the u.s. position. the israeli position is we will not allow iran to have the capacity to ever get a nuclear weapon sometime in the future if they ever decided to which u.s. intelligence officials have been unanimous in saying they have not made any such decision. but that's a very different so-called red line. israel says they will not be allowed to have the capacity. the u.s. says we will not allow them to do it. there's

you see benjamin netanyahu on the left there, the prime minister of israel.ards the right side mahmoud abbas and in the middle francois hollande arm in arm with german chancellor angela merkel. >> this is a unique sight. we have seen this many world leaders circling in france linking arms walking in solidarity and in unity to say no to the bar barity that struck this nation and to join what is at least a million so far and they expect millions more. in the center of your picture, the president of france the chancellor of germany. perhaps the president of mali just next door. the foreign ministers and leaders of western europe. the king and queen of jordan. and as jake pointed out the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu and in the same row the president of the palestinian authority mahmoud abbas. as the french prime minister said today, we are not just all charlie. we are all police. we are all jews. we are all french today. as the french foreign minister said there is no democracy without freedom and there is no freedom without freedom of the press. t

. >> benjamin netanyahu has accepted house speaker john boehner's invitation. >> i don't believe i'm poking anyone in the eye. >> that's part of our goal. >> the white house reportedly is furious about this. >> at odds over iran's nuclear program. >> president obama specifically warned lawmakers to stay out of it. >> it is unusual. >> officials approve or disapprove of the balls. >> i like a softer ball, that's all i can tell you. >> it's football stop saying balls, balls balls. >> when the nfl investigates, they always get it right. [ laughter ] >> jeb bush and mitt romney who have both announced that they are considering a run for the republican presidential nomination, met today for a private little chat that has aparentally been scheduled for weeks. the original idea is for mr., who announced his ambitions in december, to show his respect for mr. romney. the meeting stayed on both men's calendars, even as mr. romney took steps to test the presidential waters. here's what jeb bush had to say before today's meeting. >> is there any contention now that he's -- >> not at all. i respe

we also expect to hear from prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the israeli president. this is a state funeral for civilians. very unusual. we will hear the national anthem at the end of the funeral and then the families will then proceed to the site where the victims will be buried. again, this is unusual to see a state funeral like this for civilians, but it was granted by the prime minister at the president president's request by the families. >> a moving ceremony finishing up honoring the three police officers killed in the attack. truly an international period to remember those lost in this city. christine, back to you in new york. >>> thank you, john for that. "charlie hebdo" is ready to put out a new issue tomorrow. editors released the cover overnight. it shows the cartoon of the prophet muhammad with the sign "je suis charlie." the illustration includes the words all is forgiven. cnn and others have chosen not to show any of the cartoons of "charlie hebdo" with prophet muhammad on the cover. it will be half of the usual 16 pages. circulation will be about 3 mil

they also froze the order to demolish another home. >>> now, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu won the support of his party which will lead the right wing party in general elections this march. we look at the part and its nearly 40-year legacy. >> reporter: this was the moment benjamin netanyahu knew he would be prime minister for a second time, although it wasn't until months later that he would form his coalition government. there was little doubt he would lead israel but whether snap elections were called for ma 17th less than two years later, his political future looks now less certain. >> there are no clear achievements in terms of economic reforms, structural reforms and government reforms and achievements in foreign policy on the palestinian front. >> the likud party was created in 1973. it was an ament of several politicians. before the creation of israel he was the leader of an armed pro-zion group was elected as prime minister in 1977 marking the first time the left leaning labor party lost power. in the beginning of likud rule for nearly four decades. >> it's still a

. >> that was on israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu heading to d.c. but not by an invitation from the president. it breaks protocol. netanyahu said this morning he will go anywhere he is invited to speak about israel's stance on iran's nuclear program. this all picked up a bit of diplomatic dust. here to explain and break it down chris firebaugh. good to see you. >> it's tricky, yes. >> they say they'll be respectful skplt houseand the house can invite him if they want to but it seems to mebaneer is signalling -- me boehner is saying, i'm tired of playing by your rules. >> it's maybe a little too cute that they will not honor israel's elections, because the president tried to defeat benjamin netanyahu, and they've done anything they can to undermine his and his coup's status. this is something they wanted because they believe they have a better chance to get the desired outcome for this administration if benjamin netanyahu is not the prime minister. john boehner's answer to the white house is, we'll give him as big a platform as possible. >> speaking

i mean when you've got the head of the palestinian authority, and you've got benjamin netanyahu and the number of war leaders, almost 50 at least, with the united states visibly absent, what is the word on the street there. >> eiff >> reporter: i'm not sure the people of france were as concerned with who wasn't there but who was there. a remarkable display of unity by most of the world. much of france and most of paris took to the streets to show support for each other and this cause to demonstrate how important democracy and freedom is. we didn't talk to a lot of people about who didn't show up. i'm sure that that absence was noted and has been noted. but i think what was important and is important to most people here, is that there was a dramatic display from world leaders and also from the people themselves. >> and certainly, rick, a peaceful display as well. stay safe, rick, thanks so much. >> i will, thank you. >> all right, and former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. and fox news contributor, john bolton joins me now. good evening, dwoor ambassador, first of all your reaction to that i

the governor knows that benjamin netanyahu and president obama have not had the best of relationshipstanyahu privately, maybe to him, i certainly know to other republicans, has been apoplectic about the deal that is in the works between john kerry, the secretary of state, and other members of this team this coalition, and iran. so that's another reason why this kind of poke in the eye really is a poke in the eye. >> so ambassador -- i know you're a diplomat. how do you respond? >> well i did say that if the white house was not notified this is a little bit of a protocol issue, but, look it's israel. if it were great britain, mexico strong allies it's not much of an issue, but, again, the whole problem is iran sanctions. the president was simply saying if you send me a bill that increases sanctions, disrupting negotiations upsetting our allies i'm going to veto it. that was a show of strength that the congress which probably has the votes to pass sanctions. foreign leaders many times the vibes aren't the best. obama, netanyahu, yeah there's been some tension but in terms of the allianc

on march 3rd israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will address congress about iran and terrorismgeneral. speaker of the house john boehner invited mr. netanyahu but did not tell the president until the last minute does it make you get a sense of really how, forgive me, wicked this whole thing is, the secretary of state john kerry met with the israeli ambassador to the united states for two hours on tuesday and ron did you did you durmer never mentioned the fact that netanyahu was in negotiations and finally agreed to come to washington. i have to say i'm shocked. >> chris wallace believes that netanyahu move is designed to embarrass the president and many other americans feel the same way. but talking points dissents. i want to hear what netanyahu has to say. and i hope president obama rebuts his remarks publicly if they are false or misleading. the intelligence agency one of the best in the world. mr. netanyahu has information about iran. he and his nation are directly threatened by terrorism and iran. thus, they have to be deeply involved in what's going on. thus it's important
