in the uk the headline read, naftali bennett, set to be the powerbroker. he pushes netanyahu rightward. we asked if he was worried about the relationship between israel and the united states of america. >> well, erin, i think it's okay for friends to disagree on some things. i'll tell you what i saw was a great relationship between our two countries, the bonds between america and israel go way beyond president obama and prime minister netanyahu. started long before and will continue long after. but the president has been very warm towards the israeli people and we certainly appreciate it. >> now the president of the united states and the prime minister did not really come off fully on the same page on iran. just one way of putting this when the prime minister approached the podium, he talked about iran first. president obama mentioned it last. in fact, prefacing it with the word finally. and here's what they said. >> we prefer to resolve this diplomatically. and there's still time to do so. >> diplomacy and sanctions so far have not stopped iran's nuclear

defense minister who is a strong supporter of the settlers and you have this newcomer rising star, naftali bennett, modern orthodox leader of the jewish home party who says over my dead body will there be a palestinian state and proposes the annexation of 60% of the west bank. so if you like, that's the bad news for the peace process. the good news is, number one that netanyahu who is the decider in these matters as prime minister he wields immense authority, he understands he has to do something about israel's isolation and has to be seen as attempting to resolve the conflict. number two you have sippy livni who was the only candidate to run on the platform of resolving the israeli-palestinian conflict. he only got six seats but she's been given responsibility for working on the peace process as she did when she was person to minister in the olmert government so she's going to be pushing for it and then you have the other rising star of the center party israel has a future party and he cares about resolving the palestinian conflict, it's just that his constituents care more about social issues, a

wanted form a media personality ideal appeared and representative of these weighty second movement naftali bennett their everything he's not young contemporary and popular. he's panicked netanyahu realizes they are the next generation it's like an international geographic film where the young lions push the old line aside they get the females and the future is theirs. but bibi as he's called is nothing if not supremely confident over the past dozen years he's earned a doctorate in defeat and how it may be avoided he's a pro at welding together the broken parts so they can hold on for a little bit longer. driven by the fact that he has some kind of paranoid when you're paranoid it makes you minimize the volume of mistakes that you might do and i think that when he always thinks that there's a problem with something someone is. both to put a trick on him he's very well prepared as he used to sit around a table with partners who might eventually signal his don't. come netanyahu run a confused campaign and a confused negotiation although he is very smart very experienced it didn't show the goals were

the other rising star, naftali bennett says that his platform is to annex the west bank and he'll never agree to a two-state solution. so the only supporters of the two-state solution are lapid and tzipi livni. the prime minister... but it's clearly any movement forward on this is going to split this government. so it was hard to see how the previous government would move forward. i think it's even harder to see how this government is going to move forward. >> brown: do you see any potential? >> i think there is some potential here. out of 68... remember it takes 61 out of 120 to have a majority in the knesset. you have 25. as martin said, they are not part of this right-of-center block which has doubled when barack was the defense minister. so you do have a group. what keeps things the way for israel to be a normal western country goes to the palestinian issue. it will be interesting to see how it turns out. martin is correct that the key positions the defense minister, the housing minister and the knesset finance chairman are pro. the one glimmer is this idea of reciprocity. ya'alon b
