any israeli prime minister. look the country was founded after the holocaust and the rationale israel's existence is that the jews are not going to depend on others for their protection. and so even if this wasn't benjamin netanyahu the right wing prime minister even if it was a centrist or even a leftist prime minister, the same rules, the same ethos applies. and it's quite something for any israeli leader to basically say to himself or herself, you know what, i'm going to put my faith in the hands of these outsiders. granted, we're talking about the united states of america. israel's great protector and benefactor and ally. but it's still, it's a very very difficult thing to ask of any israeli leader to do that. which is why it remains highly plausible or rather plausible even in the short term that israel might openly decide to take action unilaterally because of this. i think the chances are somewhat less after this past weekend that something's going to happen in the short term but it's always there because

the israeli media reporting that the united states has offered the israelis advanced weaponry in return for an israeli promise not to attack iran's nuclear facilities this year. a front-page article in a major israeli newspaper saying israel asked the u.s. for advanced bunker-busting bombs and refueling planes that could improve its ability to attack iran's underground nuclear sites. white house press spokesperson jay carney spoke of a weapons deal, spoke in response to a question about this moments ago. >> in the meetings the president had, there was no such agreement proposed or reached. we have, obviously, as we've discussed high-level cooperation between the israeli military and the u.s. military and at other levels with other agencies within their government and our government. but, um, that was not a subject of discussion in the president's meetings. megyn: hmm. notice he did not say that this was never discussed in any level. the comment was this did not come up in the direct meetings between president obama and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. our washington team and your own

. >> it's interesting in the past two weeks you've seen two israeli officials, one a senior israeli official both make the claim that the iranians would have the ability to reach the united states with a missile within five years or so. maybe they're right, maybe they're not. usually these things take longer than one would think. it was interesting the israelis felt it necessary to say this publicly. i read that as trying to get iran moved in categories in the obama administration from a general threat to one specific to the united states. perhaps in hopes that would change the way the u.s. dealt with the issue. i don't think that will succeed, but it is interesting. and i think general cartwright said the concerns is a weapon that comes in unconventionally. this is why you saw declare tory policy against north korea, where president bush after the first nuclear test, said it wasn't the most successful issue we've seen, said if we find your material any place around the world we're going to -- that appears candid for an attack, we're going to treat it as an attack. you've not seen that kind

affairs committee conference apac hosted multiple high profile speakers including president obama israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will speak tonight but earlier today the two leaders met to continue the discussion few would argue against the notion that president obama is walking a tightrope of trying to make it clear that a war with iran is no one's first choice but that iran is a dangerous place and need to be kept needs to be kept at bay here's a little bit about what he said i during our meeting today we do not want to see a nuclear arms race in the most volatile region in the world. we do not want. the possibility of nuclear weapons fall into the hands of terrorists and we do not want a regime that has been a state sponsor of terrorism being able to feel that it can act even more aggressively or with impunity as a consequence of its nuclear power president obama has been criticized of course by many conservative leaders here in the u.s. as well as in israel for not being tough enough on iran today prime minister netanyahu seemed to be trying to make it clear that matter wha

try to prevent iran from developing a nuclear bomb you had him saying that iran's response to an israeli attack would be devastating so what's really going on you know we spend our time on this show very focused on covering the economy but in our view you can't separate the economy from the issue of war at least not when the u.s. spends this much of its budget on the military look at discretionary spending more than fifty eight percent if you're looking at to veterans' benefits it all ties into defense and not when the u.s. is posting a record budget deficit just looking at the month of february it was the largest monthly deficit ever recorded that came out from the treasury today and the deficit the budget deficit is on pace to exceed a trillion dollars for the fourth straight year so when war is such a big business and defense of took power for special interest and with the price of oil affecting everyone's lives you really cannot separate the economy from war and as a retired general smedley butler famously said in the one nine hundred thirty s. war is a racket it always has been it i

these narratives, the pro palestinian, et cetera, anti-israeli, anti-u.s. are not the main narratives. they're not that -- they are there similarly and at some point i would assume they would come back to the forefront. but for the time being, they are not what defines the arab discourse. again, look at the arab media, al jazeera and you see that palestinian issues rarely emerge. that's what is happening in syria and elsewhere. equally, the arab spring came back to expose some of these tensions that were latent over the last period. for example, iran's characterization of the arab spring as islamic spring or islamic spring simply did not correspond to the sentiment on the street. these arab movements even though many are being now he could opted by the movements were not initiated by an islamist movement and they were not is lambs in their nature. so there was a degree of disconnect between the iranian messaging and the arab streets that made the messaging more difficult to receive and to take hold. this was compounded by iran's sectarian response to this a

doctrine when it comes to possible israeli strike with iran. options are on the table, indeed, he says, but from our point of view there is one option that is not on the table. this is the c option, containment. israel, he says, will never contain a nuclear iran. there is no possibility that we are going to accept such a country holding such a weapon. >> so take us now into the -- into the israeli decision making process because one of the things we hear is that the israeli military and intelligence apparatus is not as keen on this idea as prime minister netanyahu and defense minister barack. that they believe that the games which would be probably an 18-month delay in iran's program are not worth the costs which are, of course, the regional instability, the possibility of iran retaliating. is that true? >> there's a difference of opinion, and as you correctly said, fareed, people in the military and the defense and the intelligence establishment who object the strike because they say it would not heed the significant required delay of from 18

and the israelis. >> right.red line in effect is a functional red line which is to say, the israeli red line is when we no longer can actually take out this iranian nuclear program militarily and for the israelis, that comes a lot sooner than it does for the americans because of the american capability. because the american military capability. so -- this is the nub of the entire controversy and the nub of the entire problem that they were discussing today in the white house. that the core of this is -- barack obama can be more relaxed about this? even if he thinks that he's going to stop the iranian program he doesn't have to think about it today. he has the capabilities that netanyahu doesn't have so netanyahu was trying to figure out if he doesn't do this, will obama ultimately do it? that's the core of the conversation they had in the white house today. >> and you've written about the disagreements within israel, the intelligence community, the military establishment of israel. yes, the prime minister, benja

here in moscow this is are with me will research showing at least one person is reported killed as israeli police used tear gas and water cannons against palestinian protesters are there marking the annual event called land day remembering the death of six arabs killed by police and demonstrations against a land grab by israel that was back now in one nine hundred seventy six there's also been reports of. in the west bank r.t.s. paula is at one of them now joins us live paula we've seen the footage of armored cars tear gas and water cannons being used now getting reports of one hundred thirty people wounded across the west bank what's the latest from your location. well bees land they demonstrations have turned deadly with reports coming through of at least one person who has been killed along the israel gaza border at erith that is according to palestinian sources and we're also hearing from the red cross that says more than one hundred and thirty palestinian protesters have been injured across the width of the west bank and i'm here at the kalandia checkpoint between jerusalem and ramall

but there's a time line that's critical to the israelis.and that time line is when they get -- when the iranians put their major technology, the centrifuges and ability to -- make the material they need to for nuclear weapons into this very, very deep underground facility that they are building, and at that point they are invulnerable to military attack particularly air attack. so you have a huge problem because once that time line is over with, the israelis are faced with a threat. >> israel has an estimated 100 to 200 nuclear warheads. so that would mean annihilation for iran as many that true or false. >> i don't believe israel intends to use nuclear weapons against iran. they will use conventional weapons against iran to destroy, if they can, their facilities. >> this is built on the supposition that iran could use a nuclear strike against israel. >> that's right. >> that's the threat that is stated. >> this is not an ex substantial threat for iran, but for steal. now, if the israelis rockets an acknowledges, including the director of m

first are a public opinion poll came out in israel last week that found that nineteen percent of israelis favor attacking iran without american support and only forty two percent favor an attack on iran even if it has american support but the same time atac is in washington d.c. saying it's go to war go to war go to war as a path representing the interests of israel. i in my opinion not at all and i think that you started with a brilliant question it was something i wanted to bring out myself israeli public is not marching to war it's barack meeting our defense minister and that's and yeah oh ok and then you have a pact also which seems to me in the war camp. here in israel those of us who live here who are citizens who you know are have a future and a vested interest in this please we're not in a rush to go to war so ok well then or and i mean if i can add on to that public opinion in israel and then in the washington post there's a full page of major figures that were in the military intelligence sectors of the united states asking virtually begging obama not to go to war to reconsider
