clearly, iran is the major focus for prime minister binyamin netanyahu this time. not so, and predictably so, for the palestinian leader. he came out swinging at israel, essentially accusing israel of derailing the entire peace process. he used some very emotional language in describing the israeli program of settlements. listen. >> it is a campaign of ethnic cleansing against the palestinian people through the demolition of their homes and prevention of their construction. >>jonathan: in response to that prime minister binyamin netanyahu said what he calls libelous language does not help the peace process. neither does unilateral declarations of statehood. >>shepard: thank you, jonathan hunt. joining us is an award wishing journalist and fox news contributor from los angeles. nice to see you. >>reporter: my pleasure. >>shepard: your thoughts on the words of the prime minister? >>reporter: the prime minister feels he is on the same page as the rest of the world, the west, the united states. he has other issues on his mind. there is an urgency that the israelis feel

prime minister binyamin netanyahu is coming to the end of the week. the schedules do not match. this is no opportunity to match. >>chris: there is suggestions from the israelis to go to washington, dc -- clearly, clearly the point is, countries that do not set red lines do not have the moral authority to put red lights on israel. that does not sound "happy." >>guest: we are close friends. >>chris: why did the president call binyamin netanyahu in the middle of the night and talk for an hour? >>guest: they are friends. they pick up the phone and talk when they need to talk. they talked for an hour. it was a good conversation. it is in the nature of our relationship that the two partners speak to one another regularly. we have no daylight between us on the issue of preventing iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. that is our clear bottom line and the president could not be any plainer about it. >>chris: now the attack on the consulate that killed the ambassador. a top libyan official says the attack on that consulate on tuesday was "preplanned." al qaeda says the operation was reve

the reality is, the prime minister binyamin netanyahu is very cheer today in saying the intelligence we will never know. we will only know how were nuclear material they building and they are at a point to build a bomb. that is measurable. if we cannot measure it because they do not want to put us on the ground we need to start throwing our weight, whether it is economically, diplomatically or militarily to get other nations to understand that is a red line. we will not cross i. we will not do it. we cannot suffer the paralysis of a presidential election coming up, jeopardizing not genetic israel's national security but the prime minister said, a nuclear armed iran is dangerous for the world because it would take that region, destabilize it. we did not need a nuclear armed race if that area of the world. we have interests there, not just oil interests but interests with our allies and others to work to try and keep stability. >>neil: as we are chatting we are getting word the president is going to call prime minister binyamin netanyahu tomorrow. i don't know much beyond that. obvious

i understand binyamin netanyahu's frustration. on the other hand, the effort on sunday to scale back the threat, what i think was pretty clear. now, iran responded in its own way, today, at the international atomic energy administration where, basically, their ambassador and this was unusual for him, attacked the international inspectors and said, you know, you are part of the problem. we believe you are infiltrated and you are part of the people who are sabotaging the iranian nuclear program. that's pretty tough talk from an iranian especially on people who have bent over backwards to give iran the benefit of the doubt about the program. >>shepard: it is not as if a bunch of chatter from iran is something unusual. iran has been talking about raining bombs and bullets on israel forever. >>jonathan: we have seen it so many times before and part of their game, upping the ante and hoping you get something in return, a game they always play that is why so many diplomats are so frustrated. >>shepard: what is different to time? why is t

boy, am i going to get prime minister binyamin netanyahu if i get re-elected. that is what is going to happen. >>neil: the israelis will have hell to pay? >>guest: no question. the people of israel are very concerned about president obama getting re-elected. president obama is an ideologue with a view that is extreme left. we go back to the speech he made at cairo university in 2009. he was going to change everything. he was going to endure himself to the muslim world. what does that mean? he was going to push israel away with one hand and bring everyone closer. >>neil: quickly, then, what is your take? if making overtures to muslims does not work, versus the bush policy of just saying you are a piece of work and i will not make the overtures and they still rise up. legislation is no question in my mind that the jewish vote this time will be dramatically different from what it was four years ago where the president got 78 percent of the vote. that will not happen again. >>neil: your prediction is what? >>guest: 32 percent for the republican. >>neil: it will dro

it seems appropriate our president would have at least met with prime minister binyamin netanyahu to show everyone in the world that israel is our number one ally throughout that area and we are dedicated to supporting him. meet with president morsi from egypt and talk about what happened there. maybe meet with the president from libya. to not meet with anyone but the people on "the view" sends a emergency it is more about politics. >>neil: i don't know the history of these things during the election years, maybe the entertainment media is so big today. he figured, and who am i to know, if i meet with one i have to meet with 11 others and i'm not going to meet with any. maybe that was the rationale. what do you think? >>guest: i think he was afraid to meet with any of them. he would be afraid of meeting with prime minister binyamin netanyahu because this would be a report they didn't get along. that impacts with jewish voters. he would meet with morsi and maybe not be able to be as hard as he would like and that impacts other people watching our relationship with egypt. any meeting h

>>shepard: the president has been under fire for not meeting with binyamin netanyahu or any world leaders. despite multiple requests from netanyahu, the president did not set a red line on iran's nuclear activities. that takes us to our chief white house corporate following the president on the campaign trail. the president says the united states will always stand up for freedom. there are limits to america's influence. >>reporter: it is rare to have the two major candidates in the same city, a mile and a half apart. the president is at the u.n. mitt romney was at the clinton global initiative. the to candidates are offering such two sharply different visions about what to do with the mill east. mitt romney charging the president is sitting on the side lines and letting events dictate the situation. the president said the opposite. >> let me be clear. we cannot solve every problem in the world, the united states has not and will not seek to dictate the outcome of democrat transitions abroad. we do not expect other nations to agree with us on every issue. >>reporter: the president has not

event, commander, but do you think that the white house refusing the extended meeting with binyamin netanyahu when everyone is in town for the u.n. general assembly, was that a way to see this might become an issue and does not want to aggravate the issue? >>guest: i cannot tell you having worked on the joint chiefs of staff in the decision that worked united nations issues, i am absolutely stunned. one time a year, the leaders from around the world gather at the united nations for the john assembly meeting and in an opportunity with everything going on, the president decides to make a touch and go speech and leave and not engage on some of the most pressing issues from libya to syria to the iranian nuclear threat, to the chinese expansion in the south china sea but go out and politicize or not politicize but get on the political trail rather than taking time to sit down with the people, face to face and engage with as much going on in the world. our country right now with everything that is going on needs a president, not a politician. >>neil: john mccain seemed to be criticizing fellow repu

comments over the past, let's say three months, that would not be the tone, certainly, for binyamin netanyahuthing about maybe why president obama isn't meeting with any world leaders because he does want to meet with president netanyahu. he has heard real tough criticism from prime minister netanyahu about not setting so-called red lines from iran. what it would take to get the u.s. involved in military action. and he wasn't inclined to give the prime minister a hearing after hearing that. he said p i'm not going meet with anybody, i'm not going to meet with binyamin netanyahu. >> when you look at the approval numbers on how the president is handling foreign policy, 49% now say the president is doing a good job. 49% say doing a good job. 54% in august. it is roughly within the standard of deviation but still a downward trend. how worried are you about the number. >> i'm not worried because of the president's record on foreign policy, on -- in total, is quite strong. the president himself said it. he took out osama bin laden. qaddafi is gone in libya. two-thirds of al qaeda's leadership has b

the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu is calling for the united states to draw a line on theand. iran continues to claim their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. today, the iran president mahmoud ahmadinejad, blasted the united states and others for supporting israel in the first place. israel is what he call add "fake regime." >> we have business that some members of the security council have chosen silence with regard to the nuclear warheads on the fake regime while, at the same time, they impede scientific progress of other nations. >>shepard: president ahmadinejad denied accusations his government is propping up the regime in syria, a regime that is killing its own people. he touched on the deadly american backlash over the amateur video that mocked mohammed saying we need laws to protect the "divine prophet." jonathan hunt has the news and is live at united nations. that is a preview of what ahmadinejad will deliver on wednesday. >>jonathan: certainly it seems so. president ahmadinejad seems as determined as ever to be as controversial and confrontational as ever.

israel that they came to power along with the likud party the current government headed by binyamin netanyahu is working with these extremist groups and so now they are revealing their secret agenda including the plan to destroy the al aqsa mosque some of them say that there should be separate visiting days for jews or muslims others claim the mosque should be under israeli control because it's part of the zero they say that it's located within the old city limits these aggressive statements reveal their true intentions regarding the mosque why are they not talking about the control over the church of the holy suppose. they're only interested in the al aqsa mosque we think it's really dangerous people don't think there's such claims are backed by the state but in reality the state support the extremists who make least. eight minutes. what will you do you have complained about what to say as the totally inadequate manner in which was the most states have reacted to his radio efforts to take over the mosque what should was in the states do law the old be aware we believe the anarchs a mosque is

prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons this comes after claims of barack obama rejected binyamin netanyahu request for a meeting in washington next week now tell you who has recently been critical of the you asked for failing to take a tough stance towards iran he wanted washington to set up definite red lines are without friends of iran which have crossed would lead to an aggressive response including an american led a time the obama administration has so far asked israel to cool its rhetoric and give talks and sanctions a chance to write and journalist and share at times he says those calling for getting increasingly desperate. will never really seem out of touch at the moment even mitt romney obama's fellow contender for the presidential race has been strong this ridiculous comment from the israelis international media are interested in other wardens who together what about means doing destruction intel reports that repeatedly say that iran is your pursuing a nuclear weapons program or thrown in the bin just by the in the past few days saying enrichment has actually decreased not the gr

binyamin netanyahu not backing off the challenge to the president over iran. >>reporter: right.taphor on sunday to reach the american people by suggesting iran is in the red zone and close to scoring a nuclear weapon and if the united states will not stop iran, israel will. the prime minister binyamin netanyahu says by the middle of next year, iran will be 90 percent of the way toward enough enriched uranium to make an atom bomb. tee wants them to abandon the program or else. >> they are in the red zone, in the last 20 yards. you cannot let them cross that goal line. you cannot let them score a touchdown. that would have unbelievable consequences, grievous consequences. >>reporter: the prime minister said that he respects the united states saying that it will try and prevent iran from getting a income weapon but is prepared to act unilaterally, if necessary. >>heather: the prime minister using the muslim protests to bolster his argument? >> he compares mahmoud ahmadinejad to the militants that have been storming the united states embassies across the region saying iran puts zeal

a programming note for you tomorrow on "state of the union," israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahuions with iran and strength of the u.s./israeli relationship. exclusive interview with nancy pelosi. that's on reque"state of the un tomorrow. make sure you watch that. >>> public breast-feeding battles have been waged for years now. for decades really. but one feeding that just happened has raised quite a few eyebrows. >>> breast-feeding 101. it is not a class offered at many universities. when one proposer began breast-feeding her child during class it did more than stray from the syllabus. cnn's lisa sylvester reports. >> reporter: the single mom normally leaves her daughter lee at a washington daycare while at work. but on the first day of fall classes, her 11-month-old daughter woke up with a slight fever. >> i didn't have any emergency daycare. and i couldn't bring her to the regular daycare. and so i was faced with this really difficult choice of being there for knew students which to me is as a professional the most important thing for me to do. or -- you know, or taking care o

university which was a strong back drop for it and had a conversation with israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu after the president. as he addressed that group, governor romney went after the president for his dismissive assertion that so much of what has happened in the middle east and north africa amounts to in the president's words "bumps on the road." watch. >> i don't consider 20,000 or 30,000 people dying if syria a bump in the road or a muslim brotherhood president in egypt a bump in the road. i don't car the killing our diplomats in libya a bump in the road and i don't consider iran becoming nuclear a bump in the road. we someone to recognize the seriousness of what is ahead and who is willing to lead. >>carl: he is using foreign policy in international affairs as a two pronged criticism, including lack of leadership, and, also, suggesting the fiscal cliff and deep cuts that will happen or be averted by the president and congress before the first of the year will amount they further damage to the economy, domestic and international. >>shepard: a lot of debate preparation coming up for t

he has time to go on "the view" but can't meet with binyamin netanyahu? >> governor romney is about to speak before the clinton global initiative. audience is full of fleleaders m around the world. people that can effect change to the world. what should mr. romney say to prove to no only them but to voters that he can handle foreign apairs and he does have the answer to the problems you are talking about? specifics. should he mention specific? >> i think he's actually putting forward specifics today. he is laying out a vision for major reform of u.s. foreign aid to take -- he's going to put condition -- u.s. foreign aid to countries on their opening up their markets and moving barriers to trade and in investment and making free market reform. i think he will lay out a positive vision today. again, i know we are talking about mr. romney. but whenever mr. -- whenever mitt romney supposedly makes a gaffe, that whole trip to the -- israel everybody said what a gaffe fest it was, he didn't make any gaffes. he called israel the capital of jerusalem which by u.s

there were phone calls between binyamin netanyahu, president obama calling netanyahu a mid-criticismg a nuclear weapon. mitt romney speaking with netanyahu about the country's greatest national security threat. >> we have very much the same interests to make sure iran does not develop nuclear capability which would threaten the existence of israel. the threat, devastation, potentially of israel and other nations of the world. we must make every effort to prevent that from developing that nuclear capability. >> he has called for crippling sanctions to be put in place. >> the u.s. admitting they lost track of some of syria's chemical weapons and cannot rule out their ran or syrian rebels have them. >> there has been intelligence that there have been some moves that have taken place. where, exactly, that has taken place be we don't know. >>alisyn: he adds it appears the moves were to protect the weapons and the main sites are secure, after rebels took control of a military base with chemical weapons. sear has vowed to use chemical weapons if the country is attacked. >> brand new documen
