[video clip] >> this all stands in stark contrast to the misery and repression that so many palestinians continue to confront. because hamas refuses to denounce violence and cares more about pushing its own dogma rather than allowing palestinians to live freely. it is about tearing visit -- caring israel down rather than building palestine up -- tearing israel down rather than building palestine up. host: our guest this m

perhaps it was not hamas himself, perhaps some other jihadist group but hamas has such control.who were they trying to send a message to, israelis, president obama or perhaps to the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas about be careful what uh-uh promise the american president? >> the president only spending four hours in the west bank today, not giving equal time to the palestinians as he is to the israelis on this trip. there have been some protests, demonstrations in the palestinian areas that the president is not fully committed to a two-state solution. what kind of message do you think he wants to send to the palestinians who may be protesting today? >> reporter: it's a critical point you make. what a turn of events. his first international trip in the first term was to cairo, giving that big speech about how essentially his message was i'm not george w. bush, the iraq war will be ending. i want to make peace and have better relations with the arab world. there was a great deal of hope, including in ramallah. i was there the other day. there were protests against president

there has been no change on the hamas reconciliation. they think hamas is focused on plo. they want a technocratic government. we want elections. they're not being supported. so long as they focus on the plo, the reconciliation is going nowhere. on the israeli side, i'm worried about the decision making loop. you're losing a few people who are known for restraint on this issue, the defense minister, two agents part of the octet. they are gone. now you have a more dovish agent on iran, more hawkish on the palestinian issue, though he is not ideological. if you could convince him that there will be palestinian reciprocity, and they say things like to go states for two people, you'll see that he and his team will also adjust, but without reciprocity, they are not going to. you also have the head of the housing ministry, he used -- we used to have an orthodox person, or the ultraorthodox issue was the main issue. the head of the finance committee of the knesset -- it is a different consolation there that could make this more of an issue. this idea of a freeze beyond the barrie

but rather, rely on secret evidence. >> the prisoner deal was negotiated between hamas and israel and guaranteed by egypt. hamas is asking a judge to intervene. -- egypt to intervene. >> there are conditions for that release, and if they break those conditions, they can be re-rested. that was made -- re-arrested. that was made clear to them on the day they were released. >> he would milk the cows with me, and we would feed them together. we would ride horses, laugh, and joel together. .- joke together >> it may be five years until he is freed. in the occupied west bank. >> still ahead, more on that cyprus president's conditions. >> the state of one of the largest repositories for nuclear waste in the country. a report on concerns that some of that waste is leaking into the environment. texas is still causing misery in the philippines. -- typhus is still causing misery in the philippines. >> welcome back to your international weather forecast. we have had flooding in places like colombia, ecuador, peru. look at the clouds indicating where the heaviest rain is. the forecast map looks li

get past the fact that we know that in 67 hamas was formed by the muslim brotherhood.s us to go back to '67 borders but it's not going to happen. >> the hamas charter still calls for the destruction -- >> look at the culture and look at the fact that they keep their people down so they can use them as ploys, if you will, to the world. the final thing, go to the perspective of those who don't like us. they see weakness. >> sean: that i agree. >> actually. that is an excellent point. when i was looking into this today and president's numerous comments that sounded more like campaign rhetoric and less like something he actually believed, something that we really felt from his heart and seeing netanyahu standing up there, laying out the case for defending israel and doing a better job of it than the closest ally which is supposed to be the united states and palestinians who live in eastern jerusalem would rather, 40% would rather live in an israeli ruled nation than they would a new palestinian. 10% of israelis actually support it. everybody else has a negative view of him

hamas controls gaza.have been a fringe militant group, but hamas controls gaza and any militant group that would do this would assume had hamas' blessing. so was it a message to the israeli government? a message to president obama? or could it have been a message to mahmoud abbas, who, yes, is the president of the palestinian authority and the leader of the fatah political movement, but he has great differences and a great internal rivalry within the palestinian territories with hamas. that is one of the big questions and one of the big obstacles to getting a peace process going again. president obama did not spend too much time on this in his first term, but he is determined to focus on it in the second term, and listen to the optimistic tone here, despite the big differences. >> we can not give up on the search for peace, no matter how hard it is. as i said with prime minister netanyahu yesterday, we will continue to look for steps that both israelis and palestinians can take to build the trust and the

how would you think of hamas warning you can't go to the temple mountain. >> i can't imagine hamas dictatinge president of the united states where he should go. the temple mount is a very significant part of the state of israel. from the point of view of jews, christians, and muslims, it theoretically is the place where abraham attempted to sacrifice his son. of course according to which belief you have, jewish, christian, he didn't. muslim belief he did. the reality this is a very significant place to go. he should go there to try to, try to engender in people the idea we can all live peacefully together, sharing this, it's part of our religion. we have a slightly different interpretation of it, but it's part of our joint religion, you were president, you would go? >> once you did that to me and told me you're going to declare war on me if i don't go, won't let them tell moo where i could and the couldn't go. i couldn't imagine-- >> and let's see what the president does, in the lead-up to this, he's meeting with the palestinian groups, is that a concern for israel. >> if he's having a numbe

so the last time they got through a similar crisis was hama. so you have a protest.you have an uprising. you suppress it. the playbook does not say negotiate with the protesters, so there's no negotiation. >> that one very high-ranking turkish official told me that what's going on inside the leadership is that bashar's mother herself is telling him that these are the same events, that they remind her of what happened in the late '70s and early '80s. and her advice to him is that he has to act like his father. he has to be strong, he has to be decisive, and he has to crush this element of rebellion against him. >> narrator: bashar sent in tanks, armored vehicles and snipers. >> this is how the assads, both father and son, deal with domestic threats. they retreat into their alawite fortress, and there's this convulsive reaction to put down any sort of domeic threats, and to put them down ruthlessly. >> narrator: but even then, some in the leadership questioned whether bashar was tough enough. >> in some quarters, there was talk of the fact that your father was much har

hamas which is u.s.considers a terrorist organization emerged stronger with the palestinians deeply divided between the palestinian authority in the west bank and hamas in gaza. the p.a. on the verge of financial collapse. disagreement over iran's nuclear program has become a major source of friction in the relationship between obama and netanyahu as well. >> where should a red line be drawn? a red line should be drawn right here. >> when it comes to our national security decisions, any pressure that i feel is simply to do what's right for the american people. and i am going to block out any noise that's out there. >> the u.s. still believes israelis are divided on military action against iran. the president said last week he thinks it would take over a year for iran to develop a nuclear weapon. israelis are also deeply concerned about syria, about instability, chemical weapons, the rise of jihadist groups right on their border. now the president heads to israel. no expectations of pushing a peace plan.

they're not meeting with hamas or other groups from gaza.it is clear this is probably a palestinian effort from gaza to say, hey, we're here, we're part of the equation, don't forget about us but of course gaza doesn't want to meet with u.s. and israeli officials. they're not even on speaking terms with the palestinian authority right now. it is not clear what they want other than to scare the world with these rocket attacks. bill: sometimes this is a daily occurrence. has it been that way lately, conor? >> reporter: the ceasefire has actually held for the last four months. there was one rocket attack in the last four months. there was fragile ceasefire signed and implemented since thanksgiving after that very deadly week of fighting between israelis and palestinians in gaza. so far it's held but right now who knows what will happen next. that is always the fear. there is the fear of further violence going forward, bill. bill: thank you, conor powell southern israel on that. more on the president's trip in a moment too. thank you. martha: is

hamas controls the gaza strip.roughly half of the number of palestinians who exist here in part of any kind of final status agreement that you would be going for. down in gaza, hamas launched out a number of rockets which certainly compounded the issues here and showed israel is continuously under the line of fire here in terms of what's going on in the region and continuing it being a worst region. that's something that president obama spoke to when he said that he was committed to creating a palestinian state, but stopped short of saying how much he was going to pressure the israelis in terms of making any kind of concessions. one thing they talk about here a lot is a settlement freeze, meaning the stopping of israelis building inside the lands of palestinians. a lot of people thought the president would publicly try to persuade the israelis to do that. so far we did not hear any of that. the one tone that you really took away from the meeting here, especially the one in ramallah and the press conference was that

but he says hamas shares the blame. 150 workers here before hamas came to power in gaza.t 20 now. a border once busy with trade now a no man's land under the watchful gaze of israeli surveillance balloons. of the 100 factories and warehouses near the border, all but five locked and shuttered. it's the price of hate, mistrust, and violence. wolf, it is like going back in time. i cannot tell you how depressing it is. you see these wonderful, beautiful palestinian children in gaza, hope in their eyes, then you walk the streets and see the devastation. the gentleman at the furniture factory perhaps a minority but not alone. when we were there several people after looking around a little nervously said, yes. they blame it most on israel but many also said as long as hamas will not acknowledge israel's right to exist they see no hope for peace and that means no hope for jobs. >> let's hope the president's visit can revive that peace process. that would be good for israelis and for palestinians, john king in jerusalem. coming up, a shot fired near iran's president by the u.s. se

people like hamas.peace plan, he does not have the charisma or credibility to pull that off. >> bobby ghosh, thanks for the perspective. >> any time. >>> i want to bring back our own chuck todd. he's still live in ramallah to talk more about this. we've heard from both sides of the peace process and i asked bobby this but i want to ask you. does this visit by president obama, very high profile, 5,000 reporters covering it, is there any sense from the ground there that there's a new window of opportunity in the peace process? >> reporter: well, i tell you what there's not, there's not a sense of urnl aegency about it. this is something i talked to george mitchell about this. remember he was who president obama appointed to be the envoy for the middle east peace process in 2009. he had said this was a concern and you do feel it, which is because there actually hasn't been any skirmishes in a while, there's almost a sense of they have been lulled into a sense of, well, okay, maybe this is a way that we can

he's talking about the peace process but he is ignoring hamas. this it is something that he continues the theme during the president's first term he tried hard during the big bush. it didn't go anywhere. he didn't pressure them to come back in a serious way. president abbas is working hard to roll out the red carpet if you will. he has not had a lot of success when it comes to getting a warm welcome here. president of the united states was not well loved is an under statement. we have video of when they put up a bunch of posters to welcome him to ramallah. they set them on fire and graffitied them. they feel the u.s. is not pressuring israel enough. what will happen over the next few hours president obama and president abbas is going to sit down. p palestinians are willing to go back to the negotiating table. they want the israelis to stop building settle ams inside land that they want the future state. whether or not the israel ryes are willing to do that it unlikely at best. netanyahu said he was willing to come back to the negotiating table an

a huge vacuum and cass on ensues, that you have hezbollah there, you have al qaeda, you have some hamas elements there, and you have lots of chemical weapons and lots of very sophisticated conventional weapons that will be up for grabs. and that chaos will cause huge problem for the middle east, for southern europe, and i argue, for the unit stat. member,hese are sophisticated weapons system would make libya look like an antique gun show when all of those weapons spread across north africa. dangerous, destabilizing stuff. >> rose: we continue with a an analysis from richard haas of council on foreign relations, and joshua landis of the university of oklahoma. >> desperate leaders might do desperate things if they felt there was no alternative. i don'i don't think we can prevent the use unless we thaten, i if they are used on any significant scale, what do we do then? >> rose: we conclude with a look at the press conference pie the chairman of the federal reserve, ben bernanke. my guests alan blinder and david leonhardt. >> the most interesting part of the news conference was when bernan

. >> does hamas have to be at the table or not?hamas right now can't be at the table, not just the united states, but the core ten -- >> they can't be there. >> because they don't recognize israel, three didn't disavow terror, they don't accept any previous agreements between israel and the palestinian authority. >> how does this happen if they basically govern half the palestinians? >> it will be difficult. we need to make a peace, all the time holding out the possibility that the people of gaza want to join that peace, they can and we hope that they see the advantages of peace. they'll throw off hamas rule and they'll get on board. >> do you think it's possible that you could strike a peace accord essentially with abbas and fatah and then agreeing to a two-state solution without having a deal with gaza and hamas? >> i think it's possible. it's not preferable. we'd like to have a deal with the entire palestinian people but, again, we'll hold out the possibility to the palestinians of gaza saying, listen, your brethren and sisters

>> for groups like hamas, you know, their title represents what they are. they are the islamic resistant movement. this for he them is station identification. this is the way that they essentially say we have a better path for dealing with the israelis. >> no peace? no peace? >> well, peace -- not a negotiated peace. certainly not a peace on the terms of being discussed by israel or the united states. >> not a peace that recognizes israel -- >> hamas a not gotten there supposedly. you have a divided palestinian world and one of the reasons connected to the trip that the president is not putting these issues at the center of things. you got the palestinians is divided and egypt is run by the muslim brotherhood who knows what is happening in jordan and you have a new israel government elected not to make peace or more but simply deal with the orthodox in the israel society. this is the most unripe situation for diplomacy any american president has walked into. >> mike, this american president, i think, has bent over backwards to be an honest broker between th

but john with the whole middle east, look at muslim brotherhood in egypt, hamas, gaza, the jordanian king is in trouble, syria is about to collapse in anarchy. you've got hezbollah in lebanon. i think that whole area is moving the other direction. if i were the president of the united states, i believe what he wants to do and ought to do is get out of dodge. >> eleanor. >> i can't remember a time in my lifetime when there was a peaceful status quo in the middle east. it's always been a cauldron. i think the president is right to give a boost to the two- state solution. you're right that he basically is saying that the israelis don't have to stop building settlements in order for the talks to proceed. but his concept is that the pressure will bubble up from these young populations, and that if he can get the peace talks going and he can establish boundaries, that the settlement issue will be solved from that. and i think it is a new approach. he didn't go over there with the peace plan in his pocket, but i think he certainly has revived a sense that peace is possible, which is his wor

hamas, the militant group, runs the gaza strip, so there's an argument to be made as an analyst did to me earlier this morning that this is hamas' way of saying or gaza's way of saying we are here, why aren't you talking about us, why aren't you talking about gazans, why aren't you talking about israel's blockade of gaza, so there is a lot of work to be done to bring them both together but, of course, even more work to be done to get israel and the palestinians back to the negotiating table, let alone finding a final peace agreement. >> you're right. alex marquardt, and that work is just now beginning live from our jerusalem bureau, thank you. >>> and our other main story this morning. we learned overnight the identities of the seven marines killed in that training exercise. >> the shock of their death made worse by their youth and devin dwyer is joining us from washington with details. devin. >> reporter: that's right. what's so remarkable and horribly sad about the whole story is how young these men were. six of the marines who were killed were in their 20s, all were younger than 26.
