president, the people of israel lives -- the state of israel lives on, alive as ever. a thriving democracy, a powerful army, innovative, free economy and a proud, resilient people. mr. president, over the years israel has had many friends but israel has never had and will never have a better friend than the united states of america. [applause] p.m. netanyahu: that friendship is reflected in the overwhelming support of the american people. strong bipartisan support of the american congress, and the support of american presidents from harry truman to donald trump. [applause] p.m. netanyahu: thank you, president trump, for your steadfast friendship to the jewish people and the jewish state. it is deeply, deeply appreciated. mr. president, i believe that the alliance between american and israel is more important than ever. together we must defeat those who glorify death and protect those who celebrate life. together, we can defeat the forces of militant islam who seek to destroy the civilized world and together we can and we must defeat the forces of terror. terrorism, the

we love israel. we expect israel and i send your people the warmest greetings from your friend and ally, all of the people in the united states of america, we are with you, thank you and god bless you. thank you. [applause] [speaking in native tongue] steve: you are looking at history, donald trump just landed on israel on the first ever direct flight from saudi arabia. a triple fanfare now. as you see the president of the united states, prime minister in tel aviv where it's 3 minutes after 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon. brian: yeah, it's historic. as much as it's the first time that you see the president on -- the first time a u.s. president has gone to israel on first overseas trip, these two men know each other very well from when they were -- when it wasn't prime minister netanyahu and when it wasn't president trump. abby: from here he heads to jerusalem with a packed afternoon with meetings. i always love when they get off air force one and he shook hands, of course, with benjamin netanyahu and

germany and israel -- a frayed relationship?hat's what we're discussing on "quadriga" today. ,et me begin with adania shibli who says the presence of the extreme right in the middle east government finally makes a shift in german politics necessary. we are also jojoined by george -- bys on shani rosanes george abela -- by deutsche shani rosanes. and our other guest argues the german israeli relationship has never been easy, not only because of the lack of understanding but the lack of empathy between the two sides. give us the bigger picture -- how uniquely important are the relations between israel and the germans? >> there's a long history and a history where i would always say it would be good if there would be more understanding, more questioning than ready-made answers, especially when it comes down to the complicated conflict that we have seen and observed over decades already, but i would agree, by now, there is a strong fundamental -- peter: you say there is a fundamental lack of empathy and understanding. sylke: there i

and now a flight over to israel.eems leak he is now beginning the second leg of his trip which includes a visit to the holocaust museum. he'll be going to bethlehem meeting with israeli officials as well as palestinian officials to really try to jump start this peace process. >> and you're wondering is this the beginning of an odd couple there considering this historic flight being made to israel. talking over his itinerary. he's going to be meeting with two of christianitys most holy sites and meeting with the prime minister of israel and then tomorrow meeting with palestinian president. >> and we can see obviously the red carpet has been rolled out for the president and his delegation that is arriving. you see members there from various ethnic groups from israeli societies. christian as well as muslims, jews, rabbis as well. so you know, you compare the arrival ceremony that the president was given when he came to saudi arabia, obviously with a grander in the pomp and circumstance that saudis are known for. hospita

he immigrated to israel in '69. my mother immigrated to israel from iraq. she came to israel. they met there. within me, i have a european side and a middle eastern side. those are two very, very important sides of my personality. i try to portray them in what i do. >> i am curious to know, in youry,you grow up speaking english, hebrew, and arabic? >> mostly hebrew. i think both of my parents wanted to raise an israeli kid that talks hebrew. that was something that was important to them. that's why they immigrated to israel. >> wonderful. believe it or not, we need to say good-bye. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. >> we will return in a moment to continue the conversation about the ways we care for one another and form leadership in each generation. join us in a moment back here on mosaic. >>> good morning. welcome back to mosaic. i am rabbi eric weiss. i am honored to be your host. we are in a wonderful conversation about the ways we get to know each other, ways we care for each other and how that influences leaders in the next generation. i would like to in

god bless israel.that was israeli president rivlin said we had different beliefs but we worship the same god. it's an honor to host here in jerusalem. he'll bring a new, cure sin. he did speak about the importance of jerusalem. at least they contested topic you >> , trump has shifted positions on. here's a look now prime minister benjamin netanyahu as he takes the mic. >> president rivlin and his wife, president trump, madam first lady, donald, melania, welcome, a very warm welcome to israel. [applause] your visit here, mr. president, is truly historic. never before has the worst foreign trip of a president of the united states included a visit to israel. thank you, mr. president. [applause] thank you or this powerful expression of their friendship to israel. mr. president, yesterday in saudi arabia you delivered a speech of clarity and conviction . he called on our nations to drive terrorists and extremists. the forces of civilization to confront the forces of barbarism. mr. president, for 69 years, i

israel needs a strong united states and may i say, that united states also needs a strong israel.and andmadness. the bond between is us bond between us and between people. we share common values as we share the hope for peace. the people of israel are excited by your arrival and have great expectation from this visit we thank you for your commitment to israel's ability to face the threats of today and of tomorrow. mr. president, today i will have the honor to host you in jerusalem. we are honored to have you here with us as we mark 50 years of jerusalem day. it makes us very happy to know that israel's most important ally recognize the significance of jerusalem to the jewish people all around the world. jerusalem is the beating heart of the jewish people as we head for 3,000 years. mr. president, you come here to israel from saudi arabia. you will be at the wall and to holy church and to the vatican. in just one journey, you will visit the three holiest places for islam, judaism and christianity. we each have different beliefs but we all worship the same god. we can work together

[ applause ] [ speaking foreign language ] >> you are watching live pictures of president trump in israel. this is the second leg of the first overseas trip. he landed there over an hour ago. he spoke at the international airport in tel aviv. you saw he was greeted by israel president rivlin and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. let's talk about it. welcome viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "new day." chris is off this morning. bermuda bermu john berman is here with me. >> remarkable as the president landed in israel. he flew from riyadh in saudi arabia. the first direct flight ever for anyone flying from saudi arabia, riyadh. the heart of the muslim world. here to tel aviv to jerusalem where the president will go shortly. the center of the jewish faith as well as the christian faith. t

what does it mean for israel? >> well, they can restart negotiations, sit down with the palestinians and to speak with them. unfortunately, what we saw in the last few years, they created a culture of hate, of incitement. the fact that today the palestinian services, they still have convicted murderers who killed innocent american citizens and israeli citizens. we need to stop with the culture of hate, get into the room and negotiate. we have proven in the past when we negotiate with the egyptians we achieve a deal. same with the jordanians. only way to move forward is to stop the incitement and start negotiating directly jm in an effort for self reflection what do you think israel can do better? >> well, i think we should understand the needs on the other side, the government of israel spoke about it and we have a few gestures before the president arrived to israel. but we also have to be concerned about security issues. when we see what is happening in lebanon, syria, we don't want to see the same picture next t

never mentioned the word "israel." imply thatalso israel was not located in the middle east. rex, trump: as you know, secretary of state, has done in incredible job. we just got back from the middle east. we just got back from saudi arabia. we were treated incredibly well. amy: as trump made the comment, the israeli ambassador can be seen bearing his head in his hand. trump became the first sitting u.s. president to visit the western wall in the old city of jerusalem, land that was seized from the palestinians by the israeli military during the six-day war in 1967. tonight, trump is flying to the vatican, where he's slated to meet with pope francis on wednesday. we'll have more on trump's visit to israel and palestine after headlines. cnn is reporting president trump as the director of national intelligence dan coats, national security agency michael rodgers, to publicly state president trump's campaign did not collude with russia to allegedly influence the 2016 election. according to cnn the request , came after former fbi director james comey publicly confirmed in march the

god bless israel!eign language ] >> ladies and gentlemen, the prime minister of the state of israel and minister of foreign affairs, mr. benjamin netanyahu, will deliver his welcome remarks. >> president rivlin and his wife, president trump, madam first lady, donald, melania, welcome, a very warm welcome to israel. [ applause ] your visit here, mr. president, is truly historic. never before has the first foreign trip of a president of the united states included a visit to israel. thank you, mr. president. thank you for this powerful expression of your friendship to israel. mr. president, yesterday in saudi arabia, you delivered a forceful speech of clarity and conviction. you called on all nations to drive out terrorists and extremists. you called for the forces of civilization to confront the forces of barbarism. mr. president, for 69 years, israel has been doing precisely that. we've manned the front lines of civilization, we've fought terrorism, and we've built a modern, vibrant, democratic, jewish

and israel. and it has to do with some of the things that have gotten donald trump into trouble back home. we knew that there would be this meeting between president trump and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. chris, we have both covered these things over the years, so part of the stage craft is there is the opportunity for the handshake photo and the imagery of the two leaders together. that wrapped up as it would normally do. there was a handshake. then the prime minister sort of hesitated and president trump moved back. and it was benjamin netanyahu who sort of shouted to the press over the den of the colleagues who were asking questions, which is the normal form, and he said the intelligence between the u.s. is good. that seemed to strike a note in president trump's head who put his hands out and stopped the handlers who were trying to rush the press out and they made a striking set of remarks. i believe we have the tape, so instead of my describing it, let's let our viewers see

live pictures of president trump's visit to israel. i'm going to ask my producer, we don't know what those vehicles are. that does not appear to be the presidential motorcade because it's one lone vehicle there. the whole -- the church of the holy sepulchre where the president was, to the western wall, is about a five-minute walk. we are not clear as to whether the president will be making that walk or whether he'll be going with some sort of expert. i have somebody here with me who can probably give me expertise on that. when he goes to the western wall, it's going to be the first time a sitting u.s. president has made that visit. it is fraught with symbolism. but he is at the moment at the church of the holy sepulchre. joining me now is the consul general of new york ambassador danny dien, nick and crystal remain with me. sir, tell me, counsel general, what is likely to happen, is the president likely to walk or drive? >> the last time i did that exact route it was with governor cuomo from new york, we walked, but, you know, in this

, more supportive of israel.t barack obama largely criticized by many for that. he did go to the western wall when he was a sitting center. this president is going to israel directly from saudi arabia as he walks by himself up to the western wall. let's listen. looks like we lost that shot which is what happens when you're dealing with live communication. we'll work on getting that back. david gregory to you. all right, we have it back. david gregory, weigh in on your thoughts as we look at the president there, up against the western wall. the question was whether he was going to insert a prayer or not. >> which is typical to write something on a sheet of paper, and to try to find a spot within those huge pieces of jerusalem stone to insert into the wall. this is a solemn moment for a sitting u.s. president to honor the holiest site in the world for judaism, for jews. it is a fraught gesture, because while it's avery important for jews, it's also very important for israelis that the president is being seen at a s

with the symbol of israel, the menorah on each. both making their first remarks since the intelligence issues. a lot of anger in israel among the professional spies, have not spoken publicly so much, certainly not by the leaders. in fact, prime minister netanyahu opened the subject at that photo opportunity saying they have very good intelligence sharing. that prompted the president to say to the reporters, i never said the word or mentioned the name of israel, so that story was wrong, referring to the story that "the new york times" first broke, that it was an intelligence secret from israel, not to be shared with anyone else, shared with their closest ally the united states and it led to that incident in the oval office when the russian foreign minister and the russian ambassador were visiting with president trump, and he -- once the official photographers had left, because no american reporters were allowed in, did share a secret about the laptop intelligence, the threat of another potential terror attack from isis against the u

we love israel. we respect israel and i said to her people and the warmest greetings from your friend and ally. all of the peep on the united states of america. we are with you. thank you and a lefty. thank you. [applause] >> airiness, the the president arriving in israel. reagan is right now, the president began upon his arrival in israel. he will hold meetings with israel's president and chair. welcome to mornings with maria. day two of president trump's international trip just coming from saudi arabia, now arriving at israel. another two days to spend time meeting with the leadership there. we are with lee carter, dagen mcdowell, glad you're with us. great to see you. >> i think this visit is the place where donald trump is really, really comfortable. israel is a close ally. he's getting a very warm welcome. he made it clear when he arrived here at his full support of the american people is behind israel right now. he's resetting and that's a very important moment for us. yesterday in saudi arabia

of israel.hank you for having me. thank you. steve: there you have got the president of the united states as he laid a wreath at yad vashem after making comments about the holocaust. 6 million lost their lives. we have danny danon from the united nations, he of course from israel as well. moving words from the president. >> absolutely. we hear that still today you have evil forces that attack innocent children and have to understand you should not understand idolly by when you see attacking people. brian: right. and this is your prime minister now. >> thank you, mr. president. this historic visit. you are the first american president who chose to include israel on his first foreign trip. you are the first president in office to visit the western wall. we were so deeply moved to see that picture of you touching the stones of the wall and may i say we were deeply moved to see first lady melania trump touching the stone of that wall and equally moved when we saw your daughter ivanka and your son-in

never mentioned the word "israel." >> now, the president claims he never mentioned the word "israel" but it was never reported that he brought up the source of the intelligence, it was only later discovered part of that threat assessment did come from israel. the president having dinner right now, he and the first lady, with prime minister netanyahu and his wife, sara. earlier today he became the first sitting president to visit the western wall which is just behind us here from our live location. also visited the holiest site in the christian faith as well, the church of the holy sepulchre. he's reinforcing the bond with the state of israel, he signed a $110 billion arms agreement with saudi arabia, and also trying to put some of the bricks and mortar in place to potentially craft a middle east peace deal. the president in saudi arabia, mentioned it again today, believes that that possibility is even closer because of the shared threat in the arab world and here in israel from iran. listen to what the president said a short time ago. >> president trump: today we have so many incredi

toward israel's way of thinking about national security, is it a shift toward not only israel, but to sunni states who consider iran an enemy. and it is a marked contrast from the work of the obama administration, which sought to negotiate and did negotiate with iran a nuclear deal that prime minister benjamin netanyahu opposed at every possible turn, and trump agrees with that, even though he has kept the agreement in place, he is coming out here this morning with the israeli president saying that iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, so i think strategically, the president is signaling to israel and to sunni allies in the middle east, that there is a different emphasis in terms of national security and america's foreign policy that's much more in line with the thinking of the israeli prime minister. it harkens back to me to the immediate 9/11 post-9/11 period when the bush administration got very close to the administration of prime minister ariel sharon. >> when you plant trees in israel it's greater significance, the planting of trees and making the desert green over the last 100 yea

lisa monaco, thank you. >>> keeping a close eye on israel as president trump meets are israel presidentey are expected to speak very, very soon. we will bring it to you live as it happens. >>> we are following other news. north korea launches again. for the second time in a week. test fired intermediate range missile. does this mean their nuclear program is accelerating? we will have that next. ugh, no bars. oh no, looks like somebody needs a new network. when i got this unlimited plan they told me they were all the same. they're not. verizon has the largest, most-reliable 4g lte network in america. it's basically made for places like this. honey, what if it was just us out here? right. so, i ordered you a car. thank you. you don't want to be out here at night 'cause of the, uh, coyotes. ok, thanks, bud. bye. be nice to have your car for some shelter. bye. when it really, really matters, you need the best network and the best unlimited. just $45 per line for four lines. listen, sugar, we're lettin' you go. it's that splenda naturals gal, isn't it? coffee: look, she's sweet, she's got na

said a new jersey native in israel. for the year. if you'd like to read more about that go to times of israel dot-com. president trump participating in a wreath laying ceremony, the israeli national holocaust memorial in jerusalem, and the speech at the israel museum. >> mr. president. the guest book. > mr. president. president trump: thank you. sarah inister netanyahu, netanyahu. chairman abner sharif. and rabbi israel myerlot for hosting us for this moving wreath laying ceremony. vashem to t yad honor the memory of six million jews murdered in the holocaust. 2/3 of the jews in europe were sent to their deaths. words can never describe the bottomless depths of that evil or the scope of the anguish and destruction. it was history's darkest hour. millions of innocent, wonderful, and beautiful lives, men, women, and children were extinguished as part of a systematic attempt to eliminate the jewish people. it was the most savage crime against god and his children, and it is our solemn duty to remember to mourn, to grieve, and to honor e

this is the first time the american president according to the prime minister of israel made an israel a stop on on the first trip abroad and acknowledge any official who flee from saudi arabia directly to israel. and also a first historic trip for the american president who made the first trip to the western wall. it is 8:00 p.m. in israel leland, and a lot has occurred and hopefully we'll get an idea of what these two leaders discuss. >> leland: there is a replay of the u.s./saudiy relations. you are watching the reset of israeli and u.s. relations. when president obama was there in israel. the coverage and words of the two leader and you saw from president trump and netanyahu the uniting on the issue of iran and there is much discussion of whether or not there can be a deal between the palestinians and the israelis. the israelis and the muslim world, they are united that iran is the real problem. you talked about the tour of the home and giving everybody a sense of what is happening there. we talked on something president netanyahu. this is will describe what happened here a couple

that he mentioned israel. his national security adviser h.r. mcmaster said the president couldn't have mentioned israel because he didn't know the source of the information. it was wholly appropriate what he talked about, that he never revealed sources and methods but it appears on this day he would now have publicly revealed a source and as it occurs on day one of the trip where he had been i think in the eyes of a lot of people throughout the region doing well so far by sticking to the script, it will be curious to see the way this off script moment plays there. >> and until now, he's been very controlled, not having news conferences scheduled. he's not meeting with the press. he hasn't spoken at photo opportunities. he hasn't been tweeting. some people close to him and who cover him as closely as you do say he looks tired. >> the bottom line i think here is they thought that by sticking to their script and not having the press availabilities where there were questions that would focus on other headlines of

and there is tremendous well, really good feeling towards israel. and i will say one of the things i think we can call it an outreach but what's happened with iran has brought many other parts of the middle east toward israel. and you could say that's one of the -- if there is a benefit, that would be the benefit because i have seen such a different feeling towards israel from countries that as you know were not feeling so well about israel not so long ago. and it's brought a lot of folks together and i think you have seen it and you have even mentioned it on many occasions. so, that is a real positive. we are very happy about that. >> every challenge creates opportunities. >> it's a challenge and it's an opportunity. you have a great opportunity right now there is a great feeling for peace throughout the middle east. i think people have just had enough. they have had enough of the blood shed and the killing. and i think you are going to see things starting to happen. what we did over the weekend was -- they say there has never been anything like it

welcome to israel. [applause] thank you very: much and it is a great honor to be here with my good friend, prime minister netanyahu and of course era. thank you. and also thank you for that beautiful tour. is lumia is still -- melania still talking about it. thank you very much. you honored you honor me and melania by being one of the first world leaders to visit me at the white house. you honor again by welcoming us to your home on my first trip abroad as the president of the united dates. this is a land filled with beauty, wonder, and the spirit of god. i have been amazed by the beautiful monuments and holy sites and the generosity of your incredible people. it is all about the people. i was deeply moved by my visit today to the western wall. words fail to capture the experience. it will leave an impression on me forever. today we reaffirm the unbreakable bond of friendship between israel and the united states. a friendship built on our shared love of freedom, our shared belief in human dignity and ou

at least as far as israel might be involved. >> i never mentioned the word or the name israel.uring that conversation. have the story wrong. never mentioned the word israel. for more,ning me kevin cirilli, over in jerusalem traveling with the president. he is the bloomberg political reporter at the white house. kevin, at least the president clarified what he didn't talk to the russians about when it comes to israel. whoever asked that question? kevin: our very own margaret talev. you are right, he is avoiding the larger issue, why was he sharing highly classified thelligence information in first place? that was the question that our colleague had asked and that he dodged. look, the bottom line is that the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, present -- coming to the defense of president trump says that he believes that efforts to cooperate between the two nations as they share information, this is coming in the middle of president trump us second stop on his first international trip. he was in saudi arabia over the weekend where he announced, as billion arms $109 deal. i

there have been a lot of direct contact between israel and saudi arabia. the president made the first flight between riyadh and tel aviv. important symbolism. >> bret: john roberts traveling with the president. thank you. one of the president's themes, uniting america and its allies around common goals. i spoke with the president's national security advisor about that before air force one took the historic journey to israel. to get h.r. mcmaster's assessment of the key takeaways here and also a look ahead. general, thanks for the time. >> great to be with you. when you have seen the reaction to the president's speech. what is your assessment? >> it's been incredibly positive. coming out of saudi arabia with a common understanding of the threat we face, that all civilized people face. based on the common understanding, we are ready to move forward with common action against terrorist organizations, against the people that financed them, and against the extremist ideology that lays a foundation for terrorists to draw on. i think it's amazingly positive. the

we respect israel.riend and ally, all of the people in the united states of america we are with you. >> your visit here, mr. president, is truly historic. never before has the first foreign trip of a president of the united states included a visit to israel. >> shannon: karl rove is a former white house deputy chief of staff to george w. bush and fox news contributor. one of the only stories where you wouldn't have a white board for. there is no math on this one but there is a calculated change in the conversation both with saudi arabia and israel. how do you think our partners there in the region see this administration treating them differently than the last one did? >> well, the saudis and gulf states and jordan and our friends in the region see -- egypt see a president who is not at the top of his list appeasing iran and bringing iran into the broader mid eastern community and the broader world community. they see somebody who has a cold-eyed realism about the threat from iran and the threat from is

israel museum. back to you. dagen: blake pointing out that president trump has spoken with british prime minister theresa nagy speaking outside 10 downing street yet let's listen. >> this is one of the worst terrorist experiences we've experienced in the united kingdom. although it is not the first time manchester has suffered in this way, it is the worst attack the city has six. in the worst ever to hit the north of england. the police and security services or work unit speed to establish the complete picture, but i wanted to tell you what i can at this stage. at 10:33 last night, police were called to report an explosion at manchester arena near victoria train station. we now know that a single terrorist detonated his device near one of the outfits of the venue, deliberately choosing a time and place to cause maximum carnage and to kill and injure indiscriminately. the explosion coincided with the conclusion of a pop concert which was attended by many young families and groups of children. all act

and it was israel's property. it was israel's intelligence to disclose. and when intelligence is shares, as you well know, sensitive intelligence of this nature, crown jewels of counterintelligence, it is shared only with your closest allies, with a small group of nations you absolutely trust. in this case with the united states, it's the kind of relationship the united states has with the brits, french, israelis, but only with very close allies. as the recipient of that very useful kind of intelligence, its not something you want to disclose to the russians. >> and then you have netanyahu saying we're in a good place, our intelligence agencies are in a good place. how in step is israeli intelligence agency and cia? how in step are their operations? >> reporter: well, they've always been in step at the operational level, but there was a furious argument reported by my colleague bill neely and others in the print press as well based on his conversations with current and former leader myself when i arrived here in jerusalem who said they get over it because

with israel representatives. benjamin netanyahu had to order his ministers to attend the represent interception at the airport after a change of plans disinvited them from the tarmac ceremony. the goal to present a united government and the president to present a peace process. the new york times reports that netanyahu had to wrestle sunday in a closed cabinet meeting to win approval of modest gestures to encourage the palestinian economy and ease conditions in the west bank. donald trump is scheduled to meet with abbas later. >> joining us from jerusalem is correspondent andrea mitchell. andr andrea, what is in store for president trump? >> reporter: first of all, it is historic for him to fly on air force one on a u.s. military plane from riyadh to tel aviv. that is historic. no commercial flights. no military flights can go from riyadh to israel because of the 70-year emnity. there have been reports from y cairo to israel because of the peace treaties. none from saudi arabia. there is a break through in terms

we believe israel is willing. we believe you're willing. and if you both are willing, we're going to make a deal. so i want to thank everybody. i want to thank rex tillerson for being here. rex, would you have anything to say? mr. tillerson: i think it's a historic opportunity. because there are a number of positive conditions in place. and i know under your leadership and the willingness of the president, the prime minister, that we hope good things will happen. president trump: thank you, rex. and vice president mike pence sitting right here has been a long-time supporter of peace and certainly peace between the palestinians and israel. and, mike? the vice president: thank you, mr. president. i'd just like to welcome the president and his entire delegation here to the white house. it is good to see you again. my family and i have the privilege of your hospitality during a christmas visit just a few short years ago. we welcome you and look very much forward to our discussions. president trump: he's made great progress, hasn't he? you think

president donald trump wrapped up his visit to israel with a speech at the israel museum, a few dozen trump supporters gathered at the entrance to see if they could catch a gli

i want to start with israel and the west bank. you can see below israel is egypt.ght, to the east is jordan. the west bank, syria to the northeast and lebanon on top. look at the west bank. allen, that's a map indicating israeli settlement ts within the west bank. it is what you call a fact on the ground. there are israelis in the west bank, lots of them. so this isn't a matter of, here's a country, you have your side, we have our side, let's make a deal. how does that get worked out? >> well, 2000, 2001, israel offered to return the entire gaza and 97% of the west bank and the palestinians rejected it. in 2008 the israelis again made an extremely generous offer. and the palestinians rejected it. before that, sharon abandon the gaza completely and what did they get in return? rockets and terrorist attacks. so the question isn't whether settlements are a barrier to peace. the settlements will be dealt with in a peace proposal. the question is whether the palestinian leadership and people are prepared to recognize israel is the nation state of thor israel people. >>

he said, nobody said israel. nobody said that you did.e that little kid argument, where it's like, well, nobody said that i said that, well, nobody said that you said that you said that! it's crazy. he's doing that himself. >> okay, let's go to the news that i did bring up about michael flynn now. cnn's reported that michael flynn's expected to invoke the fifth amendment, his fifth amendment rights, and not testify before the senate intelligence committee regarding all of the subpoena that they have issued to him. so, the fifth amendment, this is something that we have heard before, not so long ago with regard to the campaign trail, right? we have president trump who said that absolutely michael flynn should ask for immunity. i do wonder what president trump will say about michael flynn invoking the fifth amendment after he said this on the campaign trail -- >> she has people taking the fifth amendment. four people, plus the guy who illegally did the server. you know, he put in the illegal server. so, there are five people taking the fift
