this is a political ploy by mr netanyahu who is working under counter pressures he couldn't say no to president obama and to secretary kerry when the palestinians said yes we are coming to talks about mr netanyahu tries to get some insurance policy from his own constituents trying to reassure them that before he makes any real concessions he will come back to the country and ask for what what about eight peace deal which is on the table now pushed by the americans if there is a referendum or not amongst the people if they say yes we want to peace deal do you think actually we will see talks resuming or is this deadlock going to continue well that's the irony or fear because a peace deal is to everybody's liking it's deprived of the peace which some people don't like their. territory and netanyahu wants peace prize to be paid at the end not the tickets for the talks themselves but only once they reach a formula in which israel must pay the surprise this is not going to derail the talks most of the parties in the coalition are going just to vote for this idea of a referendum not a refer

mr netanyahu tries to get some insurance policy from his own constituents trying to reassure them that before he makes any real concessions he will come back to the country and ask for so what will lit results of a referendum be that i mean what's he hoping for. actually he doesn't need any new were legislation it's somewhat puzzling because for the last two years there has been a law which has never been tested requiring the knesset first to approve any pact requiring israel to redraw from its sovereign territory or territory and next and then from the knesset it has to go to the people the rationale behind it even though no one will say to outloud is that in the one hundred twenty member knesset a sixty one to fifty nine majority would not do because some ten members of the one hundred twenty are arabs who are sure to support any withdrawal and therefore you would need within be jewish electorate as seventy to fifty balance and in addition to that the extreme right political forces in israel would like the electorate itself. to pass on this measure of course. this is due to many othe

mr. netanyahu and his government are serious. on other hand real challenge is not in israel, israel has already parliament has aiken knesset has democratic institution main lear mr. abbas will have to make a quick decision, sharp decision, he may do it but we don't know yet to strike that deal with iaelis and the americans with support of arab moderate and make sure hamas is isolated from the process. lou: dr. walid phares ank you. >> thank you. >> on wall street stocks finishes flat after mixed earnings report weaker than expected. dow gaining 2 points, s&p 3, nazdaq up 13, crude oil dropping, but near $100 $107. >> for first time in more than a month, animated movie did not take the top spot,he conjuring brought in first pla. despicable me 2, fell to second place with 25 million. turbo came in third. my wife and i, watched red 2, it is a hoot, up next, a glaring lack of leadership leading detroit to biggest municipal default since the depression, in the chalk talk we show you, who might be next. the boys used double miles from

from europe that make it so much harder to achieve peace but i'm curious staying with you with mr netanyahu saying that he refuses to accept external pressure on the borders i mean isn't that in some ways perhaps a declaration of preemptive declaration of not necessarily wanting to negotiate but in a peaceful solution. well what's going on right now as we speak is that john kerry is on his way to ramallah to try to beg the palestinians to come to the negotiating table which the americans have been doing for five years well israel has been at the table waiting for them this is in israel that it's very hard for israel to give up the biblical. yet because you want there to be people. who want to see an end to the conflict willing to do it and now the palestinians are hardening their positions they're saying you know we have europe on our side why should we give in to john kerry so already right now as we speak attempts to make there be peace in the middle east are much harder because of mistakes made by a european bureaucrat who is obviously uninformed as to how much harm he's causing the pale

mr. netanyahu senses that the administration knows if they put out very big comprehensive offer to iranians, beyond what they have done so far, iranians reject it it puts the president in the position of having to make a decision on military action. i heard the prime minister do one other thing in response to your question about his red line, when he held up that big cartoonish image of a bomb. i think israelis now recognize that the prime minister when he spoke at the u.n. set the red line in the wrong place. he did it with one narrow wave that the iranians can get to a weapon as he said, iranians are making progress in two alternative routes and not sure how to deal with. that i think you heard him set some new ones. >> schieffer: why do you think benjamin netanyahu decided now was the time to come on american temp vision and say this? >> i think he's trying to sort of hedge things off at the path. his fear is that now that there's a new president in iran who seems to be saying some of the right things, he worries that american public opinion and administration might feel a little concili
