to kick back globally against john kerry. he said he would be candid and that's what benjamin netanyahu was. he said it was a disappointing speech and a shame. as you heard there, unbalanced and biased. he said most of it was about blaming israel and he had proof that he would show that the u.s. was behind the un resolution last week against israel and as you heard, john kerry talking about andrea mitchell denies that the u.s. advanced that revolution. kerry focusing on the danger of jewish settlements. abbas said he was ready to resume peace talks if the u.s. freezes settlement construction. the empty the israeli government agrees to cease all settlement activities including in and around occupied east jerusalem and agrees to implement the agreements on the basis of mutual reciprocity, the leadership stands ready to resume permanent status negotiations. what does it mean? programs towards peace? i don't think so. there are peace talks in january and benjamin netanyahu is not going. >> john kerry thinks the two-state solution

john kerry pointed to a figure of 30,000 units in all. settlement units in recent decades and 100,000 settlers since barack obama became presidt and, indeed, either as he was speaking or just before he was speaking we had word from an ngo that another settlement unit had been approved in east jerusalem. there is no question that in israel there is a sense that they are creating facts on the ground. and that, you know, john kerry went through six principles or proposals to move this forward. there was nothing new in any of that as he acknowledged. there is a sense of paralysi in the last 40 minutes or so. >> i keep checking my phone to see. >> right. but really, that's how it may have been making pronouncements when it comes to israel late this morning and into the afternoon. talk about the impact. secretary kerry hoping it is a powerful moment. it's coming at the tail end of the administration with somebody who has a different relationship with benjamin netanyahu set to take office in days. >> this represents a boiling over of frustration

john kerry vents frustration with israel over the settlement expansion, saying the only way to achieve is a two state solution. the prime minister says kerry's speech was biased against his country and he barely touched on the root of the problem. that the russian airplane crashed over the black sea on sunday, killing 92, have suffered a problem with its wing flaps. the russian defense minister recovered the second flight recorder. it came down in good weather 2 minutes after taking off from sochi. the pilot was heard talking about the wing flaps not being in the right position. earlier we heard from our correspondent in moscow. on the table, although terror activity is discounted more than the others. officially, four main working theories are the technical malfunction, substandard fuel, pilot error, and outside impact to the engine. russian media has reported. this is nothing coming from the authority yet. the problem might have been the position of the wing flaps, and thegulate liftoff takedown of the airplane. it would appear that there were some error with the wing flaps. that byi

any response from the president or the transition team since secreta secretary john kerry's speech. >> we saw before kerry took the podium of this back and forth of donald trump and benjamin netanyahu. benjamin netanyahu tweeted back, his thanks but since then donald trump has been at marg-o-largo. we are waiting to see if he's going come out with another tweet or statement of some kind kin . we saw the reactions from benjamin netanyahu. those who i talked to expect the trump to come out with something agreeing with benjamin netanyahu more than anything. we'll have to wait and see. he's talking some people who maybe potential agriculture today. >> okay, kasie hunt, keep us posted. >> thank you, craig. >> when we come back with the clock tickiis ticking of presid obama's final term to punish russia and interfering with our election and a high profile murder case in the last hour and an answer for prosecutors requesting a warrant for an amazon echo virtual assistant. will your business be ready when growth presents itself? american express open cards can help you take on a new job, or f

now, i must express my deep disemployment with today of john ker kerry's speech. in a speech extensively between peace between palestinians and israelis. by passionately condemning a policy that enabling jews to live in their historic homeland and in their internal capitol. jewsi jerusalem. they're the reality that the people of is real hrael had to . poll sil policies of the time of -- i don't seek applause, i seek the security and peace and prosperity and the future of the jewish state. the jewish people have had their place under the sun for 3,000 years and we are not about to dissuade by mistaken policies that have caused great damage. israelis do not need to be lectured of the important of peace by foreign leaders. we pray. we worked for it everyday since then. thousands of israel families ma made the ultimate sacrifice. my family has been one of them. there are many, many others. no one wants peace more than the people of israel. israel remains committed to resolving the outstanding differences between us and the palestinians through die recollect negotiatio

john kerry, just three weeks left.ending time talking about the stalled mideast peace process. also expected to refute those allegations it was the united states that was behind that resolution last friday that was vetoed. here's a preview now from our chief global correspondent bill neely. >> good morning, craig. the senior minister who said that said a whole lot more. he called john kerry's planned speech today anti-democratic. he accused the obama administration of being pro-palestinian. he said there were people who simply don't understand what's happening in the middle east. he said if john kerry lays out principles for a peace deal, as he's expected to do in that speech, it would limit president obama's ability to set his own policy on the conflict. all of that before the speech is even delivered. what can we expect from the speech? what we do know comes from kerry's spokesman at the state department mark toner. he said kerry would lay out a comprehensive vision for israeli/palestinian peace. he says it's his dut

trish: benjamin and yahoo slammed john kerry in the obama administration for abstaining from the vote and they have proof that the us push to get this vote moved is seen as a slap in israel's faced. ambassador john bolton telling essentially what happened is obama and his administration stab israel in the front, not even in the back, the son of ronald reagan, author of the lessons my father taught me joins me with his perspective on all this. one of the challenging things, and we have been a friend to that for so many years, it has been policy to stick up for them and now it is different, at least it is different for the next however many weeks. >> it is different however many weeks, tweet to do to do this -- in the middle east, ultimately this will be the legacy of barack obama. what next happens in the middle east. i am concerned, every american should be concerned with what the administration did to the state of israel who supports us and we support them. they have been our friend and we have been there friend for over 50 years. to see what happened the last few days with the resol

the thing i find curious, john kerry, our chief diplomat, representative of the american government, at russians hacked into our election. that is the equivalent of russians hacking into voting machines and changing the outcome. john podesta emails, what do you think the average person took away from the john podesta emails. hon necessarily. versus the emails that came out, over year-long investigation of hillary clinton's server? i would argue that the stuff that came out about her from her, by her, the classified information, was much more damning than hearing that donna brazile might have given her some questions in a debate. julie: first of all, this is by virtue not just my opinion -- kennedy: how is that quantifiably changing election? take all the information, all these perceptions, you have so many different elements creating people's opinions. you. dagen: you know why president obama and everybody in his administration why they did nothing about this until now, because they didn't think it was a big deal. julie: they did. they put sanctions on -- dagen: what if it is not just

secretary of state john kerry this morning saying that the two-state solution for mideast peace is in jeopardy. kerry saying israeli settlements are not the only obstacle but seemed to focus on them as the main part of the problem. kerry says that's why the united states chose to abstain rather than veto the united nations security council resolution condemning the settlements on friday. >> in literally hundreds of conversations with prime minister netanyahu, i have made clear that continued settlements activity would only increase pressure for an international response. in the end, we could not in good conscience protect the most extreme elements of the settler movement as it tries to destroy the two-state solution. we could not in good conscience turn a blind eye to palestinian actions that fan hatred and violence. it is not in u.s. interests to help anyone on either side create a unitary state, and we may not be able to stop them, but we cannot be expected to defend them. >> joining us live from jude m jerusalem, what it's your reaction to secretary of state kerry's argument about

> you covered john kerry extensively. you traveled with him, profiled him. what do you think in this late moment not unpre presprecedente maybe against the backdrop he's giving this speech, unusual. what do you think he hopes to achieve with this speech at this very big moment? >> i think he hopes to burnish his legacy. he talked with me privately and talked publicly about how passionately he believed in the need for a two-state solution. that is what this is all about. if the settlements continue to grow the obama administration argues there cannot be a two-state solution. i think kerry, this is his last ditch effort to save that solution. i agree with errol, this is also very important domestically in israel. it's a plus for netanyahu, criticizing obama helps him with his base. in israel, all politics is local. that's why he's being so vocal about this. >> that's a really interesting point. it's always important to try to understand who exactly the audience is for john kerry today. >> his audience seems to be more globa

but now i must express my deep disappointment with the speech today of john kerry. a speech that was almost as unbalanced as the anti-israel resolution passed at the u.n. last week. in a speech ostensibly about peace between israelis and palestinians, secretary kerry paid lip service to the unremitting campaign of terrorism that has been waged by palestinians against the jewish state for nearly a century. what he did was to spend most of his speech blaming israel for the lack of peace by passionately condemning a policy of enabling jews to live in their historic homeland and in their eternal capital, jerusalem. hundreds of suicide bombings, thousands, tens of thousands of rockets that the people of israel had to endure because of policies that at the time won the thunderous applause of the world. i don't seek applause. i seek security, peace, prosperity and the future of the jewish state, the jewish people have sought their place under the sun for 3,000 years. and we're not about to be swayed by mistaken policies that have caused great, great damage. israelis do not

——john kerry. he spoke about the jeopardy of the two state solution.he two state solution. mr netanyahu is now issuing himself quite a impassioned defence of israeli policy. i think we will be coming back to that statement a little bit later on. in the meantime, let's take a look at the meantime, let's take a look at the weather now with john the meantime, let's take a look at the weather now withjohn hammond. good evening. some hazardous weather out there especially across england and wales. freezing fog across the heart of england. take it steady on the road. first thing in the morning, it doesn't look pretty across england and wales. he will be sadly around coastal areas, but aspect some freezing fog inland. further north, not as foggy or cold. the pocket of frost, but generally moulder. —— mild r. —— milder. some areas of low cloud around. single figures and a good deal mild rin single figures and a good deal mild r in one or two places. this is bbc news. the headlines at seven: britain's most decorated olympian, sir bradley wiggins announces his r

is this where john kerry is just finally revealing it in public? >> john kerry is irrelevant.. he's just a bag man for the white house. the people here that are most culpable are individuals like ben rhodes, the deputy national security adviser, and also the president himself. remember, i mean, nobody should be surprised at this, peter, that this happened. look at the last eight years. look at the fact that the people who helped get president obama elected, that team was sent to israel to work against bibi netanyahu in the election. that's all you need to know. this is pure personal animus against israel and against the administration of bibi netanyahu. >> the white house has denied that that meeting happened with the palestinian leaders. you qualified it and said we have to see how it all turns out. the bottom line is where do you think we go from here? president-elect donald trump has said he's going to be a staunch ally of israel but there are many who believe this two-state solution is on life support at best. how can he pick up the pieces moving forward? >> look, i think

have you view john kerry's words?tephen: i tend to think, is not clear what the goal of the speech was and who the audience was. if he was trying to speak to the israeli public, secretary of state john kerry certainly further distanced himself from the israeli public by not addressing palestinian incitement to terror, not addressing palestinian terror and not addressing hamas in a strong way. focusedd over these and in a excessive way on the issue of the settlements combining those far outposts to even jewish communities in jerusalem within the old city. to the israeli public, this really wasn't an effective speech, and because of that, netanyahu can gain points from .t of course everyone expected netanyahu to respond against the speech, and that's exactly what he did. audience, it's helpful to netanyahu. it's not clear how this speech will help the democratic party in america. in the secretary's last few days, i don't expect strong support from democratic members of congress in america thomas to come out and support

secretary of state john kerry set to give a speech any moment, offering what he calls a comprehensive vision for how peace in the middle east can be achieved. and israeli minister has called the speech "pathetic." stocks trying to add to their records around the globe, u.k. joining in record territory. we will have the latest trades. shares in japan's toshiba have plunged the most on record thanks to the westinghouse writedown. is the nuclear business in deep trouble? have a look at where european equities are trading right now, just under 30 minutes to the closed. the stoxx 600 is up 2/10 of 1%. 1%,ftse 100 is up 4/10 of the dax in germany down about 1/10 of 1%. banksalian and german dragging things lower a little bit in the continental european countries. 1.2228,pound is at weaker by one third of 1%. we will ignore the euro-pound for a moment, but we will have a look at euro-japan, 143, and ever weaker japanese yen when it comes to the u.s. dollar but not the british pound. at u.k. 10 year yield is 130, germany's 10 year yield at 21 basis points and unchanged. the spread between the

that was the reason john kerry gave this speech. >> let's look at the warnings and risks that you speak of. the spokesperson for theresa may issued a statement thursday criticizing secretary kerry's focus on israeli settlements saying -- how unusual is this reaction from the uk? >> it's not so unusual. prime minister may, i think, is trying to take a swipe at the obama administration and john kerry in this case and a way to distance herself from any connection to the obama team and position herself politically in a better place with the trump team. i don't think it necessarily has anything to do with israel and palestine. the uk supported the u.n. vote. they voted in favor of the u.n. resolution. that resolution language was far harsher than anything in john kerry's speech. if you goow through john kerry's speech, which i read every word of and listened to every word, he went into detail beyond the settlement and not only provided a potential way to get back on track but looked at resolution of other issues. all of the issues were on the table in john kerry's speech. theresa may's prede

on john kerry and middle east peace, in his first year in office, john kerry made no less than 11 tripsthe middle east and a number of more trips to european capitals with the purpose to negotiate and have talks between the palestinians and israelis. i was with him on those trips and he worked his tail off trying very hard and obviously it failed. the larger question here is u.s. approach to the middle east peace. and for 20 years, u.s. has been trying to get sort of the big deal, the home run, solve everything at once, come to agreement on everything, refugees, status of jerusalem on absolutely everything, peace and security and hasn't worninged. and the principles that john kerry laid out are not that different. and from bill clinton and george bush and none of that worked. i talked to david who had been a middle east peace negotiator and he made the point when you try to go for the home run sometimes you strike out. and i think at this point, john kerry is trying to lay the groundwork of ideas that are ilt into the january peace talks that is coming up in paris. we don't know how wel

john kerry wanted to give this speech but was blocked by the white house. when it came out at 72 minutes it was passionate, defensive. he feels the two-state solution is in jeopardy. there was also a warning. firing a flare across israel to try to show israelis that the two-state solution and indeed israel's own security is jeopardiz jeopardized. he said they are candid thoughts, uncomfortable truths to israel and as mentioned at the beginning he said israel is a friend but friends need to tell each other the hard truths. he spoke frankly because that solution, israelis and palestinians living side by side in peace, he said, was in serious jeopardy. that solution, he said is the only way to ensure israel's future and future peace. he said it won't ever really be at peace if it chooses a one-state solution. he said many jewish settlers wanted that. they say the two-state solution is not just dying but all but dead. what struck me again was the defensive mode defending that refusal in the united nations or for the first time in 40 years the refusal to block a

earlier, secretary of state, john kerry, delivered what seemedik

it can't be decided by united nations or john kerry or president obama.kerry achieved the feat of alienating the israeli and palestinian by meddlingç nothi the peace process. and throwing israel to the wolves will not advance the cause of middle east peace. the u.n. is the worst forum to resolve the issue of palestinian and israeli. >> what is a better forum. >> the parties themselves without obama and kerry putting the thumb on the scale for the palestinians. >> the point of the u.n. this is an area that is in dispute for a very long time and not being resolved on its own. the argument is to get together as a unitedç group of nations foster a solution and negotiation. >> such an organization would make sense if it did not have a long and ugly history bis against israel. it is not a level playing field. more resolutions have been passed against israel in the u.n. than iran, north korea and syria and russia combined. it is a bad forum to work through the issues. if countries want to be helpful, they can help behind the scenes and the united states can st

john kerry, no one cares what john kerry says about the middle east.ward. we care what the president-elect is going to do about the mess this president created and the reset with russia, what happened in libya, so many things are so screwed up, we have to take the blue by the horns and reestablish trust with our allies and fear with our foes and that is what the president is going to do. i don't know anyone who cares what john kerry says and with regard to the president, just go away and go away with dignity, you are not running for a third term, don't hang out in dc every time this president-elect makes a decision, try toounter him because all the policies he put forth people don't like. pretty simple. ashley: i think that says it for a lot of people, thank you for joining us. thank you so much. let's take a look at two events, the dow on the right turning out to be a bit of a dud but i am not giving up, down 15 points at this hour, 19929, still 71 points and now john kerry has arrived at the podium at the state department to talk about middle east is

john kerry said it but more planely, peace is not about the settlements.oodwill, israelis will at mitt at least to me they understand the controversial settlements. we tried to do it on up and up. tried to do it according to international law. it failed us. we see palestine continue to operate in bad faith. to y'all's point what is incentive to play by the rules. i asked david what will you say around this? we'll do what is in our best interests meantime until peace comes. kennedy: we'll hear from benjamin netanyahu in the next hour. more "outnumbered." stay here. ♪ you know, just before retirement, i had that "uh-oh" moment. it is not a great feeling. i worked hard, i saved money... but then i realized, i wasn't going to have enough. if you're age 62 or older and facing a financial gap, your home's equity could provide greater financial independence. with recent changes to reverse mortgages, it's more important than ever to make a decision based on current facts, rather than outdated information. if you think you know everything there is to know about rev

john kerry, in a speechjust obama administration and israel. settlement expansion. benjamin netanyahu hitting back saying his view of israel was biased. plenty more on that and all of the other stories on the website or on the app. it has been a day of huge variety across the uk. for many places it was present in the sunshine, in other areas, temperature is where close to freezing throughout. the fog will get more extensive as we head into the night, becoming quite widespread. i think there will be some disruption to travel over the next 2a hours. the areas of folk will expand across england, and parts of east wales as well. relatively little fog mist across scotland. the main concern is south of the border. some pockets of frost further north across the border into eastern scotland. but generally for scotland and northern ireland, will be milder at the start of the day tomorrow. further south, with light winds, the fog will take some shifting and in some places it will not go at all. quite a variety in temperatures. where the fog sits around a

perhaps it's a bit of goodwill or what else secretary of state john kerry might do or the internationalommunity, that is to say, the u.n. might do following kerry's speech. a spokesman for kerry gave a preview of why they think it's important for kerry to outline the peace in the final days of the administration. >> this is a piece he's worked on for many, many years. i think, you know, he feelings it's his duty and his waning weeks and days as secretary of state, to lay out what he believes is a way toward a peaceful two-state solution in the middle east. >> so, what is it that bernanke is afraid of right now in the israeli government? kerry is expected to lay out his parameters which is to say his ideas on how to achieve a two-state solution. that can then be used at an international peace conference next month to lay out what could be another resolution on the israeli-palestinian conflict. that is what israel is trying to avoid. a lot of the ministers have already started firing up preemptive strikes to kerry's speech and they don't have a lot to say about the expectations there. >>

but now i must express my deep disappointment with the speech today of john kerry. a speech that was almost as unbalanced as the anti-israel resolution passed at the u.n. last week. in a speech ostensibly about peace between israelis and palestinians, secretary kerry paid lip service to the unremitting campaign of terrorism that has been waged by

and specifically for president obama and secretary of state john kerry. two leaders were not speaking to each other. they had one person in mind. kerry with himself in mind and netanyahu had president-elect donald trump in mind. they not so much respond to each other as they made their points. kerry talking about settlements in the israeli government and then the settlements in the middle east. here is part of what netanyahu said. >> the refusal to recognize the jewish state remains the core of the conflict. its removal is the key to peace. palestinian rejection of israel in support for terror are what the nations of the world should focus on if they truly want to advance peace. i can only express my regret and say it is a shame that secretary kerry does not see this simple truth. >> reporter: netanyahu reiterating his position he doesn't believe settlements are the plan to peace. settlements are part of the problem. the palestinians for their part welcome the speech. it is part of what is required along with the united nations security council resolution

what stood out to you in this hour and ten-minute address from john kerry? >> take it into the context what's been happening over the last several weeks and the context how secretary kerry is giving this speech. he made a nod to palestinian incitement, choices palestinians had to make, but a large chunk of this speech was about the semg settlements, secretary kerry made clear he thought was creating an impediment to peace making a two-state solution impossible and actually driving israelis to a one-state solution, which basically then they would be responsible for administers all the palestinians and he said obviously, israel considering itself a jewish state does not want that. i want to single out a few of the toughest things said here. he basically says the israeli prime minister publicly supports a two-state solution but his coalition is the most right wing in israeli history with an agenda driven by the most extreme elements. he talked about the settler agenda defining the future in israel. they believe in one state. the two-state solution was over, and

senator let's get reaction to the previous segment and john kerry's speech today regarding israel. hts? >> well, eric, i generally respect how hard secretary kerry has worked over the last four years to try and pursue peace in the middle east and in other places around the world to try and stand up to russian aggression in ukraine and trying to find a solution in syria. but i really question the timing and the purpose of today's speech. i do think that obama should have directed his ambassador to veto the resolution at the united nations last friday and while i think secretary kerry has worked tirelessly to try to make progress in israeli-palestinian negotiations, the speech that he gave today really was a reflection on a peace process that came to an end two years ago. and i'm not sure that it made any real progress in bringing israelis and palestinians together. >> that should be the only pursuance, right, bring -- find a solution to the problem in the region and this doesn't -- this feels like it's dividing the region rather than bringing them together. >> i have some real concer

john kerry, about comments that john kerry.rry, the outgoing secretary of state has described israeli government is the most right wing in history. theresa may said that it was inappropriate for him to talk about it but radically elected government this way. here's the outgoing secretary of state and he is raising the alarm over the fact that time may be running out for a two state solution there. i mean, you hesitate to say anything but he probably feels as if he can say slightly more about what he thinks. that is what always happens at the end of administration. they feel emboldened. theresa may, on the other hand needs a relationship with donald trump in the us going forward. what she seems to be objecting to is not so much what she said in raising the alarm but attacking the israeli government and ministers specifically. that is what she is objecting to. and, yet, britain voted for the resolution last week. yes. we went further than the united states. america abstained. but to go from backing the resolution and what it said

middle east is going up in flames. >> i must express my deep disappointment with the speech today of john kerry. a speech that was almost as unbalanced as the anti-israel resolution passed at the u.n. last week. in a speech ostensibly about peace between israelis and palestinians, secretary kerry paid lip service to the unremitting campaign of terrorism that has been waged by the palestinians against the jewish state for nearly a century. what he did was to spend most of his speech blaming israel for the lack of peace by passionately condemning a policy of enabling jews to live in their historic homeland and in their eternal capital, jerusalem. it is a shame that secretary kerry does not see this simple truth. >> a sharp and immediate response from netanyahu regarding secretary kerry's remarks. >> unbelievable. know parting shot on bb netanyahu on his way out of the office. benjamin netanyahu came over here against president barack obama's will and sat down with congress and addressed congress. obama didn't like that. president obama turned around around tried to get, friday to undermine his re

one points out that secretary of state john kerry and prime minister benjamin netanyahu speaking to one to himself and netanyahu to president obama. kerry talked about settlements and israeli government. netanyahu talked about the palestinians and u.n.'s failure to do anything on the other problems in the middle east. they were not so much responding to each other as reiterating their points. there, netanyahu was clear about his position. he said settlements are not the issue. he would like kerry to understand that. settlements are the problem here and netanyahu's response came almost immediately after kerry's speech. >> the persistent palestinian refusal to recognize remains a conflict and its removal is the key to peace. palestinian rejection of israel are what the nations of the world should focus on if they truly want to advance peace. i can only express my regret and say it is ashame that secretary kerry does not see this simple truth. >> reporter: perhaps not surprising that palestinians welcome the speech saying this is what israel has to do to get back to the table. president ab

oren liebermann is following the latest. >> reporter: joe, as you mentioned, secretary of state john kerry made it clear that he has a plan to give a speech to layout his vision for speech. that is something the israelis are concerned about. this is not only kerry's vision for peace in the speech, but the peace conference in paris in the middle of january. those are israel's concerns. in the meantime, prime minister netanyahu is not backing off his comments from president obama or other countries. he is taking diplomatic steps and working ties with embassies and ministers. it is a very strong statement about how angry netanyahu is. meanwhi meanwhile, the u.s. and israel launching issues that the u.s. is behind it from the very beginning. here is the prime minister's spokesperson david keys. >> we have iron clad sources. we will share that information with the incoming information through the proper channels. if the new administration plans to share that, that is their presenti prerogative. calling for genocide of all jews is celebrating this decision. and celebrating it because it distance

secretary of state john kerry with a big speech this morning. his last chance to lay out a plan for peace in the middle east pushing back on plans the u.s. engineered that vote against israel. >>> evacuated, tourists and workers scrambling racing out of trump tower after a security scare with a new fight over who pays for security there. >>> and remembering carrie. hollywood and the world on the extraordinary legacy of carrie fisher. >> why, you stuck up, half witted scruffy looking nurf herder. >> her dog even posting a good-bye on twitter. one of her "star wars" co-stars joins us live. >>> we begin with fierce new reaction from president-elect donald trump. he is escalating the war of words with president obama taking a new dig at the commander in chief after president obama took this deadly veiled swipe at trump while commemorating the attack on pearl harbor. >> when hatred burns hottest, even when the tug of tribalism is at its most primal, we must resist the urge to turn inward. we must resist the urge to demonize those who are different. >

john kerry,3 minutes.t continue to let israel be threatened with total disdain and disrespect. they used to have a great friend in the u.s., but, dot, dot, dot, not anymore. beginning of the end was horrible iran deal. stay strong, israel, january 20th is fast approaching. secretary kerry came back says this doesn't help much, but agree, disagree with us, this puts our allies in uncomfortable spot, with this incredible disagreement, to your point, one president at a time. >> the question i would propose to secretary kerry why make this speech with just 20 some odd days left in the obama administration? what is going to change in terms of u.s. policy that in these last 20 days that will have a big effect? one thing all of this, this last week will do, one tie donald trump's hand in a lot of ways with respect to the international law coming down on israel. this u.n. resolution. i think there will be a lot of legal consequences for israel in international court if this does go forward. and donald trump doesn'

john kerry has moved up the lame duck secretary of state john kerry moved up his speech and there's aot of speculation about what he might try to say and how he might shape the peace process. >> clearly, what he's going to do is push back on prime minister benjamin netanyahu who has been pointing the finger directly at the obama administration. a spokesperson for benjamin netanyahu was on the kelly file saying they have this evidence showing that the obama administration, as pete said, directed this. not that they were involved in this, but they planned this whole thing out, this u.n. resolution. watch. >> we know that there was deep collusion with the obama administration and the -- to push the united states at this resolution forward. i don't think everything i know can be shared on tv or shared with a global audience. i want to explain briefly why it's so dangerous. it reemts negotiations. it tries to give the palestinians everything they want up front. the idea that the jewish quarter of jerusalem, the western wall is occupied territory. what if somebody brought a security council

secretary of state john kerry defends u.s. inaction on a u.n. resolution critical of israeli settlements and israel's prime minister said they don't need a lecture. this is "special report". >>> good evening and welcome to washington. i'm doug mcelway in for bret baier. john kerry defended the administration's decision to abstain from the u.n. security council vote last week condemning israel's settlements and in warned a two state solution is at risk. israel's prime minister fired back reminding the obama administration that its days are numbered. we have fox team coverage. john hutty has the strong reaction from netanyahu, peter doocy has more. and we begin with rich edison with a message the secretary of state is trying to sends. >> reporter: the state department billed this as an opportunity for the obama administration to outline its plan for palestinians and israelis to find peace and secretary of state john kerry delivered that and in a strong condemnation of israeli policy. >> some seem to believe that the u.s. friendship means the u.s.

why this speech from john kerry? why now? why the language he's using? >> what this speech does, it was an extended repudiation regarding settlements. then kerry laid out his parameters for potentially negotiating a two-state settlement. that isn't unprecedented. at the end of his presidency in 2000, bill clinton did a similar thing. in the final weeks of december, emhere's what my parameters would be. now that kerry's team has been able to put on it record saying this is how far we've come. this is what we think might work. here are our ideas. our parameters. so the fact this is at the tail end of the presidency, it is a cap stone. both from politicians to stay parameters within the speech itself are untenable. for instance, kerry suggested that palestinian refugees should give up the right to return. that's a nonstarter politically in the west bank. that said though, the fact kerry coupled some of these challenging parameters with a protracted israel means the argument he made, the pitch that he laid out might have more appeal to members of both communi

netanyahu and john kerry and talking about the blistering speech that john kerry made. it was a war of words, if you li like. it looks like it is going to the final weeks of the presidency. that speech is probably taking that relationship to a new low. it is a speech he's been trying to give for months, if not years. he probably got it off his chest today in a speech that he said was candid. friends talking on friends. benjamin netanyahu didn't sound like a friend two hours later in his reply which i thought was almost bordering on the resentful. so two very candid speeches. john kerry with the belief in two-state solution. and it was also a warning. firing a flare across israel, staying settlements contribute nothing israel's security and only isolate it further globally. john kerry said he was offering uncomfortable truths to israel. as you've heard, next came mr. benjamin netanyahu speaking in english. he claimed he want to do it. he called kerry's speech disappointing, a shame, unbalanced, biased, and a lot of other things. he said he had proof that the u.s. was beh

. >> senator, did john kerry's speech make things worse? it seems to have inflamed things as the administration is weeks from being out the door. >> although i deeply respect secretary kerry's very hard work in pursuit of peace, i question the timing and the purpose of today's speech. he spent and criticized the policy of israel and very little time talking about how that was. there have been real difficulties. and some of the recent decisions by the netanyahu government and in terms of increasing the pace of settlement activity. they can be seen as moving away from a two-state solution. the way for us to make progress is not by speeches given in the last three weeks. they are pushing both parties and not in a public scolding such as secretary kerry delivered today. >> what do you think is the future of the u.s. alliance between donald trump and benjamin netanyahu? >> it's tough to know what president-elect trump will do on any issue in the course of his campaign he changed positions so many times on many key core issues. but who he is choo
