he didn't like ben berne -- he didn't like ben benjamin netanyahu, and benjamin netanyahu didn't like him. the question is how? he's no longer the president of the united states. even if he was the high profile negotiator for this president, it's only the president and his administration that are pushing for some resolution, and i think it would be hard for bill clinton to go into that process as effectively as we remember him in he was president undertaking the same efforts in the last days of his administration. it would certainly help him a lot. it might be more i efficacious f they brought in bush, who is still missing a legacy in his life, and have that bipartisan cast to it, might be an interesting way to approach it, but hard to go against benjamin netanyahu, if he comes out of the election with a lant -- landslide mandate and tougher, harder cabinet, but that's what makes me think it'll be pushed back to this -- to the end of the second term. >> tat trick, -- patrick, any sense of israel if they hit obama too much, that this is his second tab? >> doesn't seem to be any penalty

netanyahu.i think he's a serious leader and great patriot of the state of israel, no question about it. he tries to do the best for the people of israel and he certainly deserves the respect for it. but i think that the nature of his party is not a result of some opposition that he can't cope with. this is netanyahu. the nature of his party, the fact that so many extreme right wingers are now going to be members of knesset in the coming elections representing his party is not against his desire. this reflects his attitudes and his opinions and the question, of course, is how can it be reconciled with the needs of the state of israel to move forward to its nasa is but he has to answer this question and i'm afraid that his answered is not appropriate or is not acceptable and not practical. >> rose: his answer is what? >> his answer is that, you know, let's sit down and negotiate without any pre-conditions. which is a wonderful slogan. i'm entirely for it. but at the same time if he continues build

tell what's pre-election rhetoric and what are real intentions i believe even from the beginning netanyahu was bluffing. i believe he fares put pressure an american president to make a credible threat against iran. what to do what you do you mean by a credible threat they wanted the american president to put a red line not on nuclear bomb on enrichment which is the legitimate right of every member when they could not push obama to this point he decided himself to make a credible threat in order to push the u.s. the e.u. in a position to choose between crippling sanctions or war. which he was confident europe and the united states would sanctions but the main target of a lot of netanyahu from the beginning was crippling sanctions not war i believe he dismissed the u.s. and europe and he was successful israel's plausible nuclear stockpile or threat to iran. i really believe neither israel is existing threat for iran nor iran is existential threat to israel we had just global disease summit conference here and i told the conference that even today israel is the you're always using the wrong i

we saw extremely aggressive rhetoric coming from netanyahu is administration saying that they want to bomb gaza to the middle ages but you know the defense minister is saying that they want to topple the hamas leadership if they do indeed get granted stated what do you think they're going to do i mean it didn't bother going to follow through with any of these these aggressive threats that they made before this happened. you know it's if mr marino all compo had announced he was opening an investigation and. israel over the canceling operation i doubt very seriously we wouldn't see what i call cast lead to just terminated in november with a personal greenlights from obama so it's clear if you read all the israeli news media they are terrified of the i.c.c. . taking action against them and my strong advice to the palestinians is that that's more that's what should be done because it's clear as far as netanyahu in the us some see it this is a zero sum game they have no interest at all in any type o. . two state solution they want all of palestine without the palestinians so i think the pu

to withdraw the settlements and allow palestine to develop and i don't see that will at all with netanyahu if he can't even rely on governments that are basically quite sympathetic to israel and israel's claims then he's losing out big time all around the world and he just needs to wake up i think the washington support will weigh in very quickly obama has been reelected and the reelected president into a second term is at his most powerful and i think that netanyahu might do well to remember that he also very much involved yourself in the internal politics the usa during the election campaign of that can't even do it himself very much the administration the movement around the world for palestine for palestinian people is unprecedented netanyahu should wake up and recognize that. well he was in finance ministers have boosted spain's the beleaguered banks by proving a forty billion rescue package for them back in june the same minister said they were ready to provide aid of up to one hundred billion euros despite the recession madrid is trying to costs to avoid asking for something of a do
