to this new coming israel. you ask where israel is going.the century of conceptual products and knowledge, the ones who will prosper are those who can innovate faster. israel is a speed chess innovator. we do not have that large a number of innovators, but we have a very, very large number of very fast innovators. that.lture promotes so, i think israel is moving into a leadership position. in technology. i will give you a number to illustrate this because i think it is important that i take this away from general concept and make it concrete. in 2014, as a result of a deliver it policy that my government is leading, israel of the global investments in cyber security. that is 100 times our size. 2015, he trumped that number. they received double that amount. we received 50% of the global investment in cyber security. punching 200are times above our weight. this is an indication of how you increase short capacities and how you can harness your nat ingenuity both for international power and connections. i read a book by a wonderful writer named

to git the $50 billion in military aid that israel wants in the next ten years? >> actually, that is one of the issues that is on top of the agenda and that is both sides, both netanyahu and obama want to increase israel's aid package, military aid package from 3.1 billion a year to 4 billion, that's what netanyahu wants. but on the agenda there's an agreement for the next ten years years, 2017 to 2027, how large the package will be and what kind of -- and it's funny because obama has created a situation in which in order to non nonproliferate nuclear weapons to iran, a lot more to fend off iran. >> and given that israeli is getting more weapons, would you like to take an opportunity to reverse what you said in general in july when you came here and said that the iranian nuclear deal was a crummy deal for israel, the deal itself may still be crummy but given what israel, saudi arabia and other countries are going to get out of it, don't we want to look at it in a larger could b context? >> well israel doesn't want more weapons to defend itself, it wants less reas

, clinton writes, i strengthen the securityto commitment to israel. over the past year, the pledge to stand closer with netanyahu has been politically widespread. >> the united states congress above all entities in america has your back. in a very bipartisan way. >> ironically, the american jewish community is bitterly divided over netanyahu and is hard line expansion policies. >> there is a very strong sentiment against many american jews that israel is shooting itself in the foot or perhaps even in the heart by pushing for and allowing so many settlers to have settlein the west bank, and de facto, making a palestinian state almost impossible. >> many members of the american jewish community were lot outraged when netanyahu just before his last election said he wanted his people to come to the polls, otherwise, israeli airves woularabswould have too much in. why isn't the dwight over netanyahu reflected in u.s. politics? >> those voters, that section of the jewish world that is willing to be pro-netanyahu have been willing to put a lot more money beh

support israel.plause] if i can be subtle enough, and the president and i discussed today a memorandum of understanding for american military support for israel for the next 10 years. imagine the middle east without israel. what do you think would happen? in our immediate vicinity so mark i have to be diplomatic, i will leave it to your imagination. now imagine a middle east with three as well as. one in afghanistan, one in israel, one near yemen. it would be a different situation. the support for israel i am talking about, the united states supports israel to the tune of $3 billion a year. ok? you spend on the war in afghanistan and iraq a trillion and a half, so that is five centuries worth of support for israel. i think secretary carter and the president today said that supporting israel is not just important for israel, it is something we deeply appreciate, but it is also a very solid investment and american security as well. we are in ally that does not ask for any american troops. we never have

as he said over israel, he is very hawkish views on israel. seems obvious, and this is just pandering, and clinton's op-ed there was not a word about the occupation. delia parents palestinians made was as knife wielding terrorists. no mention of their basic rights and how their basic rights are being trampled on by the israeli occupation. this is like taking us back a few steps in the changing discourse about israel in this country. , thank you for being with us, contributor to the nation magazine, former national security reporter for think progress. we will link to your piece and also to the think progress peace 10 falsehoods that netanyahu told during his appearance at cap. to joe stiglitz, to the nobel prize-winning economist. nermeen: the fight over income inequality gained national attention when fast-food workers walked off the job in hundreds of cities across the country on tuesday, demanding a $15-an-hour minimum wage and union rights. some fight for $15 protesters rallied outside the republican presidential debate in milwaukee. durin

he left israel a few hours ago. it's the first face to face meeting with president obama in binyamin netanyahu in more than a year. tensions reached a low point between the white house and binyamin netanyahu, when the israeli prime minister addressed a short session of congress to protest the administration's position on the nuclear deal. at the time president obama refused to see the prime minister. what is expected on the agenda on monday is the latest round of violence. the iranian nuclear deal and funding for israel. >> al jazeera's mike viqueira has more on the visit. >> reporter: after years of frayed relies, this moment last march marked a low point. israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu defying president obama and taking his fight against the iran nuclear deal to a joint meeting of congress. >> a deal supposed to prevent nuclear proliferation would spark a nuclear arms race in the dangerous part of the planet. it will not be a farewell to arms, it will be a farewell to arms control. >> in some ways the t

his case been a sticking point in relations between israel and israel. >> reporter: jonathan pollard left a prison under cover of darkness. his parole came almost 30 years to the day for arrest for selling a large number of kass tied intelligence to israel. he appeared in new york accompanied with his wife who he met in prison. he has to report to a parole officer weekly and cannot leave the u.s. for five years. his case came to light in israel. the p.m. netanyahu hailed his relief. >> for someone who raised his case before many presidents many times, i lopping for this day. he is finally being released >> reporter: many israelis think he was punished too hardly. >> he was served so many years in prison with no real reason. >> reporter: over the course of 18 months jonathan pollard a civilian analyst delivered tens of thousands of top secret classified documents to israeli agents in washington. israel paid jonathan pollard thousands of dollars to betray his country. jonathan pollard was arrested and agreed to plead guilty to a single charge of conspiracy in hopes of getting a late ye

israel's deterrent. president obama came in and he had a different perspective. i described this in the chapter, because he felt a genuinely strong commitment to israeli security, he felt that gave him a license to be openly critical and he did believe that it could create some benefit for us and a time when we were reaching out to the muslims and he worried. i have a quote in the chapter where he says in a meeting have malcolm says to him if you want israel to take certain risks, they need to know you will be standing right next to them and he comes back and says to them, for eight years the bush admin straight allowed no dealing at all and look where we are. wasrew that lesson but it in a lot of ways a misplaced lesson. -- edward all marked almart drew -- i'm sotinct was, because good with security and because i mean it, that makes it easier for me to establish some distance and clinton's attitude was different. the view of the world was different. the view of israel and its place in the world was diff

-israel relationship is vital. that relationship is critical to both our countries, particularly as the middle east becomes a more unstable and dangerous region. we believe strongly that conversation like this one are an important opportunity to strengthen the relationship. scholars at the center have studied the region closely. we believe please can and must be found for israelis and palestinians so that both people can live with real dignity and security. it will take hard work to build mutual confidence and negotiate difficult compromises, and we really understand that. as prime minister, we thank you for taking questions here, because the choices you make matter profoundly to israel's future and the future of the region. we believe that matters profoundly to america. would you want to make a statement? prime minister netanyahu: thank you. that reminds me of the israeli ambassador who came back and said do you have anything to declare? he said, yes, i'm happy to be back home. yes, i'd like to make a declaration.

many of us want to see a strong israel and believe that the most egregious undermining of israel comes from the occupation of the west bank and gaza. and it's time for netanyahu government to take steps to end that occupation. unfortunately, they're committed to perpetuating it. it's been going on for 48 years and they continue to act as though they think they can keep it going for another 48 or 50 years. that's a disaster for jews disaster for israel. >> rabbi as you know, for some months the obama administration through the offices of secretary kerry basically did shuttle diplomacy between israeli and palestinian leaders trying reach restart of the talks towards a two state solution. seems like it's over, the white house doesn't expect any solution to the two state question. that's orather dire statement isn't it? >> benjamin netanyahu was reelected precisely by insisting he would never allow during his time in office next four and a half years for a palestinian state to emerge. so obviously there is no incentive whatsoever for palestinians to engage in these negotiations which oar t

how to bolster security, how to maintain israel's qualitative military edge so that israel can defendagainst any threat. so for all of these reasons, i want to thank you again for your hospitality, but even more so for staying and strengthening the tremendous friendship and alliance between israel and the united states of america. thank you much. president obama: thank you very much anybody. about two hours after meeting, white house press secretary josh earnest greeted reporters, this is almost an hour and a half. >> two things at the top. then we'll get to your questions. thefirst thing you heard president on friday. attending the climate talks in paris to be with world address the serious issue. the president will be attending november 30th and tuesday december 1st. in paris the united states will be pushing for an agreement that three things. we're lookinghat reflect thet that an ambitious climate target. looking for an agreement that puts in place a framework to ratchet withemissions over time high standard accountability. third, we're looking for an agreement that mobilizing tec

support for israel is bipartisan. support against terror is bipartisan, and we have to stand together as americans, regardless of party affiliation and say we will not couldn't nens terror and we are -- countenance terror and we're going to point fingers at the palestinian authority who has been utterly irresponsible in this whole thing. so palestinian leaders would do the right thing and repudiate the violence and seize the campaign of incitement that glorfies terrorists, this could stop. so this letter that chairman royce and i have done, signed by more than 350 of our colleagues to president abbas, palestinian president abbas urging him to take that course, but i cannot say i have high hopes. after all, this type of rhetoric by palestinians against jews and israelis and even just americans in general is nothing new. in palestinian books and newspapers, on the television and radio, we see and hear a constant message of hatred and incitement. from a young age, palestinians are taught that the people of israel are the

israel.nd i can say with some authority that i have never seen both populations further away ,rom each other, the mistrust when i was in israel a few days ago, the stabbings have an life arere than condemned from an israeli perspective the palestinian leadership. abbason't trust mr. anymore. and it is quite clear to me that on the palestinian side, the lack of hope is further aggravating the situation. host: this is from inside the washington post in the west bank , renewed tension and diminished hope. the photograph including some teenagers who were killed over the weekend and the violence continues to escalate there as well. just unacceptable i think for anyone watching this that young palestinians -- their motivations are -- you can come up with any number of hy, they arew inexcusably the idea that palestinians would take knives to kill 70-year-old israeli women walking down the street just because they happen to be israeli and jewish is symptomatic of the despair and despond and see that

now they're going to be talking about how much more money israel wants from the u.s. in order to feel security given that the deal is now done. now right now the u.s. gives israel over $3 billion annually to defense equipment. >> it is asking for $50 billion in security assistance. we don't expect they'll come out with an agreement. there is hope that there will be a final deal with the president in office. they want something to build confidence and calm the situation in the occupied territory. >> myanmar's ruling party backed by the military has conceded defeat in the nation's first properly held election in decades. the election commission has announced results which placed the main opposition party on course to win by a landslide majority. aung san suu kyi ha party has won and could form the next government. myanmar's ruling party said it will respect the result. the final tally is not expected for days and could then be followed by weeks of wrangling. a new president would then take power at the end of march. but there is likely to be tension between then and now

israel has no role to play. or it's an embarrassment like it is in the best bank are the obama administration needs to explain and justify every day why it's main ally in the region continues to build more settlements and occupying more palestinian territory. >> speaking of the west bank will obama be under any pressure to bring up the violence going on in the occupiedfer tores at this point? >> this takes us to the second point. now that israel is such a liability, so useless to the united states, why is it so important? is it because of the israeli lobby, that's why it's so important. the israel lobby plays an important role in washington, decision making in washington, the elections coming up. that's why hillary clinton is very much interested in the meeting today between prime minister netanyahu and president obama. the lobby is very strong, influential and supports a lot of candidates for the president and congress. hence, i think it's very important for president obama to behave himself with president benj

in israel, the prime minister benjamin netanyahu released a video statement saying that israel welcomes pollard's release and seems to have tried to take some credit for it, saying that he repeatedly asked several presidents for pollard's release, but the fact is that under the terms of pollard's sentencing and the laws in effect at that time, once a person's sentenced to life in prison in a federal prison has served 30 years with good behavior, there's mandatory parole and that's what's happened in this case. the israelis and some u.s. lawmakers would like to see pollard allowed to leave the country and live in israel. he's expressed that wish to join the wife that he married while in prison in israel, however, the white house has said that president obama does not intend to interfere in the case, does not intend to give a waiver that would allow pollak oh to leave the country, and so it is most likely that he will remain here in the u.s. in new york, where it's said he has a job and a place to live. >> what does this do to israeli-u.s. relations? >> it's a bit of an irritant that was

tell us more about this party and why israel wants it banned. >> reporter: israel accuses this party of inciting. when it talks about insite citing around the issue over the al-aqsa mosque. israel says that this party keeps on inciting people, saying that it has a slogan that says al-aqsa mosque is in danger, that its leaders carry out inciting speech as israel says and that, actually, it keeps on accusing israel of wanting to change the status quo of al-aqsa mosque even though netanyahu has said more than once that that was not the case. that is the main issue around this movement. also israel accuses this movement of being an offshoot of both ham mas and the brotherhood >>> the party's leaders saying they're going to fight the measure but he himself is facing jail time. >> reporter: yes, indeed. that's also because of a speech back in 2007. israel court found him - that speech of being inciteful. he was supposed to start his sentence on 15 november, that's last sunday, and then there was an appeal put forward. that appeal was rejected, as we understand now that leader is in interro

he had just gotten a month ago a permit to work in israel. he stabbed two israeli men, who also died. anchor: the radius where these attacks are happening, this is expanding. so far, only few have been in tel aviv. now that has changed. what will this do to israelis' sense of security? reporter: it is a reminder to israelis here that the wave of violence will not be coming to an end, especially in tel aviv you have not seen such kind of attacks lately. it has calmed down a bit in the past couple of days, but especially in the beginning, two months ago, jerusalem was the center of the attacks. we saw many young palestinians protesting in the occupied west bank, which left many of them wounded and also dead, but in the past couple of weeks the violence had moved towards the occupied west bank and a lot of tension especially in the city of hebron. israel has beefed up security across the country but those measures so far have failed to halt these attacks. anchor: thank you. we have to take a short break. back in a minute. ♪ anchor: welcome back.

they said that he unpassed a lot of information to israel, not information about israel enemies but information about the u.s. itself, the u.s. also says that that information some of it was on passed to at the time the soviet union and put and endangered the life of u.s. operatives in the soviet union and after that both former presidents bill clinton and george w bush rebuffed a demand for clemency and now and then benjamin netanyahu himself has asked more than once the various administrations for that, at some point the issue of jonathan polar was on the table as a precondition for agreeing for peace deal between israelis and the palestinians. it's also an issue that has also put a lot of stress on the relations between americans inside the u.s., with the jewish community and also between the jewish communities in the u.s. and here in israel so it's certainly an issue that has caused a lot of strain even president obama wasn't able to release him earlier so certainly a lot of issues. now the next step is for him to come here. several mps have already asked to pass a bill for polar to come he

that is good for america and israel. >> israel is our good friend.you, sir. >> i'm glad to be here. >> joining me israeli ambassador to nations ambassador danny dannon. nice to see you, sir. >> thank >> i don't see things getting better. you have isis growing and president abbas saying won't be bound by oslo accord. you have islamic extremism growing to say terrible things like death to america and wiping israel off the map and mark regev says it's a good meeting for the president. convince me. >> the meeting was good. we have a jungle because we look at the region and see states failing. we see isis gaining control of more territory every day. we see that iranians getting stronger internationally and also now more money to give to their proxy hezbollah, hamas and other terrorist organizations. so it is going to be a challenging time for us because we will be on the front line. the meeting was important because we had disagreement with iran. no disagreements regarding the commitment of the united states for security. >> at some time it gets almost un

and israel in the region.ia, iraq, and other realities. >> reporter: the united states funds various projects here, buddies put the efforts of u.s. secretary of state john kerry for the last few years, nothing has been achieved. this man says that adds to the tensions on the treat. >> we need a final decision for a peace process. this peace process means a decision for the state of palestinian. for many it may mean nothing, but for many which live here, it means ability to live, ability to lead live within a statehood. literally speaking with are still under control. >> reporter: the overwhelming feeling here is frustration with the international community which they say is not putting enough pressure on israel to end its occupation. the only resolution is through a peaceful solution. >> i don't know what the end of this is, but even if hundreds are still killed on both sides you will kill have israelis living here and palestinians living here. >> reporter: people in bethlehem have become disillusion. barack o

israel never purported to speak for jews who were not in israel. who would speak for them? both jews were not there -- most jews were not there, polish jews, german jews, russian jews. they had a genius to put this together as a conference on jewish german claims against germany. it began as a conference and it kept the name conference, and it consisted of a collection of the leading jewish organizations in the world. it had central british fund, jews of argentina, the jews of france, they all came together and formed a new york operation and they were going to be the third negotiating parties so that the germans were negotiating with all of the choose in the world. the negotiations would take place in a secret destination in a neutral country. to give you some idea for the feel of it, there was a big outcry in the jewish community, particularly in israel, that it was a betrayal of jewish honor. you are selling my mother, you are trying to get money for blood, those who do this will be betrayed by the germans, and there is no good german except for a dead german, we don't w

now, they're all coming to this new israel. you ask where is israel going?who will prosper are those who can innovate faster. israel is an innovator. we don't have that large a number of innovators, but we have a very, very large number of very fast innovators. and our culture promotes that. so i think israel is moving into a leadership position in technology. i'll give you a number to ti rá's important that i take this away from general cjjt make it concrete. in 2014, as a result of a deliberate policy that my government is leading israel investments in cybersecurity. that's 100 times our size. we received double that amount. we received 20% of thes in e cyber we're punching 200 times above our weight. this is an indication of how you can increase your capacities and how you can harness your ingenuity both foro power and for international connections. i read axbook by a wonderful writer named will durant. well he wrote some 12 volumes on history. and towards the end of his life in the late '60s, he wrote a small book. it was 100 pages long. and it's called

israel. since the beginning of october palestinians armed with knives, meat cleavers, guns, and cars have carried out approximately 77 attacks leaving 159 israelis wounded and 12 dead. two americans have been killed in these gruesome attacks including richard lochen, who was a connecticut principal and civil rights activist before he moved to israel in 1984. connecticut grieves our dear friend and a colleague to our educators there who perished while seeking peace. that was his goal. that was his mission. the palestinian authority must be held accountable. they must be held accountable for incitement, and it must work to stem this tide of visible violence. repeated reprehensible attacks on innocent israeli civilians have followed president abbas' dangerous disa disavowel of commitments during the peace process. he has renounced them. these attacks must be stopped with leadership from the palestinian authority. that's why i've introduced bipartisan legislation with senator ayotte and more than
