so he's tried to make progress to israel/palestine, but it's not because he doesn't want to make progress. he's trying to make progress. he's just being undermined by even some people in our own country. but the president i think the middle east policy has been very successful and if he gets another term, i think we'll see peace between israel and palestine onecongressman, thank your file a your time. and my point is the president went in, did what he said. you would think that the doubters and critics would at least say he did achieve that. the justice department is investigating when gadhafi personally ordered the lockerbie bombing in 1988. 270 people were killed when pan am flight 103 blew up over lockerbie, scotland. the libyan regime eventually admitted it was responsible. and some libyan officials said gadhafi himself ordered the attack, but he went unfinished. just two years ago g, the only n convicted in the attack was returned to libya with a hero's welcome. joining me now brian flynn. he lost his brother john patrick, in the lockerbie bombing. and is vice president of the victim

a key moment in relations between israel and palestine. how do you view it at the moment? >> i see this as a transactional diplomacy, not transformational. i don't think there will be a second act that will broaden out into a more comprehensive political understanding. i think it's merely a prisoner exchange that won't have any broader implications for the peace process. i think it would benefit hamas especially, 1,027 prisoners for one israeli. and that will allow hamas to take the center stage back from the palestinian authority president abbas, who went to the u.n. with his state hood bid. >> the deal was announced last week or so. much has been said about the timing of it. against the back drop of the instability in the arab region, how much do you think that has been a factor in this transfer process? >> i think it has been a major factor, because hamas is severely embarrassed because it is standing with the assad dictatorship against many syrians, including syrian islammists, that it otherwise would be ideologically aligned with. and hamas may be contemplating a move

others may be incorporated to israel as part of a swap of terrory between israel and future palestine. >>ose: you said that hamas is an idea and in order to defeat an idea you have to have a better idea. what'she better idea? >> a palestinian state next door to israel. >> rose: do you think hamas could change. >> you know, it's a tricky question because if hamas changes it will no longer be hamas it will be something else. it's a fundamentalist document, moreover it's an anti-semitic document. >> rose: this is their charter? >> the hamas cove innocent. this is not a basis for negotiation. i am a compromiser. nibble compromise. there is no compromise between existence and extinction. there's no way israel could only exist mondays, wednesdays, and friday. it's either existence or tinction and the hamas people want israel to be wiped off. >> rose: hamas people or hamas leadership? >> hamas leadership. i stand corrected. hamas people i don't know, they don't have a voice. >> rose: and the idea of statehood at the united nations. is it wrong... was it a mistake for israel to oppose it? >>
