he looks at netanyahu.bama was clearly trying to send a message to benjamin netanyahu. did he succeed? >> there is a fantastic passive-aggressive thing going on. kerry has been trying for months -- his strategy is very sound. he looks at netanyahu. he thinks, this is the only guy that can make peace, who can bring 70% of the israeli public with him. i have to figure out what is bothering him and work his issues down one by one. this has created an impression among the palestinians that kerry is functioning at netanyahu's enabler. i think over,, whether it was cooked up or not, did something in this interview. he kind of said, i'm still putting the heat on netanyahu also. it's also, let's put him under a little pressure. as i wait of signaling to the palestinian leader, who will be in washington next week, that i've got your back, too, in a way. the question is -- >> and when netanyahu spoke before aipac -- >> he was praising obama. and that kerry, what a guy! he went on for a minute or two. obama, when i ta

you brought up the netanyahu meeting. march is living up to its moniker today, by the way, coming in like a lion, making for a cold, snowy start into the work week across much of the country. bill karins will be here next. he's tracking the storm. and there'll be a chill inside the oval office, perhaps today, when president obama and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu meet. jeffrey goldberg sat down to preview the meeting. he'll be here next to talk about the harsh words that the president had for netanyahu. first, the politics planner. a lot has been suspended because of the weather and the federal government being shut down. when jake and i first set out on our own, we ate anything. but in time you realize the better you eat, the better you feel. these days we both eat smarter. and i give jake purina cat chow naturals. made with real chicken and salmon, it's high in protein like a cat's natural diet. and no added artificial flavors. we've come a long way. and whatever's ahead, we'll be there for each other. natur

but i think the powerful man in this equation is bibi netanyahu. he holds the key to the power and to the kingdom, and he's the one that can decide what kind of future we can have as israelis and palestinians, whether we will have one state, bi-national state, but then he would go down in history like the guy that will dismantle the jewish identity of that state. so, if he doesn't want that, he has a window fortunate, very short window fortunate to give -- you know, to sign an agreement and give the palestinians what they want. and what they want is not different from what people in caracas, in ukraine, in the arab spring, they want freedom, democracy and dignity. >> and let me go off that issue of settlements just a little bit, ambassador ginsburg, because that has been one of the sticking points in trying to get to a settlement, and it does seem that the continued building of settlements, it's been an irritant to the united states. it's been raised over and over again by the obama administration and previous administrations. we're trying to get t

netanyahu wants completed the -- complete capitulation.sident obama, like the europeans, would be happy with iran that was perpetually 6-18 months away from producing a nuclear bomb. there is that technical issue. i think the broader issue after what happened in syria, the broader issue is i am not sure the prime minister believes that barack obama would ever use force to stop iran from gaining hold of a nuclear weapons if they actually succeeded in getting close to it. it is the continued argument of barack obama. it is something we have talked about a couple of years ago. i did an interview with the president on the iran issue. he said, i am not bluffing. he says that you will do what he needs to do to keep iran from getting a bomb. the issue is the israelis and the arab allies. they do not believe that obama would ever use force. >> especially after the redline in area. >> right before ukraine went sideways. america's adversaries are not scared of america's president. [laughter] you have to ask the questions you have to ask. i knew ther

i have great respect for prime minister netanyahu.learly we do disagree on some things, but we agree on the fundamental objective of keeping israel as the beacon of difficult middle east. >> you disagree with prime minister netanyahu on the fundamental issue of the peace process? >> i disagree on the process. i agree on the objective. i want peace no less than anyone. i'm telling you, as someone to fought, i want peace more than most people. the only disagreement is how we achieve it. i submit if we instill palestinian state in the heart of israel, divide israel, we're guaranteeing 100 years of conflict. however, if we take my approach, build economy-based, bottom up slowly, more time, more patience, we'll get a sustainable peace for many, many years to come. >> do you think that israel can exist as a jewish and democratic state while it is essentially denying 3, 4, by that point 5 million palestinians the opportunity for self-determination. >> we're not denying anything. they have self-determination. >> would you consider it self-det

what is to be done by prime minister netanyahu is to be very courageous.not only to work on their own internal opinion but to have it vision for the future. what do they want for their children, grandchildren, and the next generation? the region goes through huge turmoil. the strategies linking to jordan, linking to lebanon, or the -- all the refugees. crisis, andorrible it shows in the political instability. instability in egypt, we're going to have elections, we drovety in iraq, the american army from afghanistan. and now the crisis in ukraine, it is unstable. we bring everybody him here to be down. >> what would it take to take that -- make it happen? what does it mean to break through in this peace process? >> netanyahu needs to decide which quilish and i can't believe that coalition they can believe. the palestinians being part of this coalition, they won't let him develop some settlements. they won't let him go forward. at the same time, abbas has his own opposition. his own people a very frustrated , they cannot move freely. the financial economic c

why does netanyahu want the palestinian to say israel is a legitimate jewish homeland? because he wants the palestinians to acknowledge that the jews are also from there. that's the whole thing. the palestinian narrative, the narrative of mahmoud abbas' palestinian organization going back to its founding yasser arafat is that israel is a foreign implant, a colonial enterprise. you can't be a colonial enterprise if you're returning home. so for the palestinians to come out -- the palestinian leader to come out and say, yeah, the jews are actually from here and, so, this is their country, that's a huge deal, and what it does -- what it signals, also, to the 4 million or 5 million palestinians who are refugees or mostly in this case defendants of refugees, it basically tells them you may have dreams of going back, going to the villages where your grandfather or grandparents are from, but that's not happening because we're actually acknowledging the juice are also from there and you're going to have to find your peace and your citizenship and your feeling of wholeness in th

prime minister netanyahu pushed back at the obama administration a little bit.what he said specifically related to iran. >> iran calls openly for israel's destruction. i'm sure you'll appreciate that israel cannot permit such a state to have the ability to make atomic bomb to say achieve that goal. we just cannot be brought back again to the brink of destruction, and i as the prime minister of israel will do whatever i must do to defend the jewish state. >> as a counter point, president obama emphasized the close relationship to the u.s. and israeli have. he is pushing israel on a couple of big items, including israeli-palestinian peace talks, something john kerry is working on, setting a deadline of the end of april. he'd like to see a framework develop. >> back to iran, which was also a topic of conversation at yesterday's apac meeting. >> that's right, it sure was. we heard from secretary of state john kerry trying to reassure both prime minister netanyahu as well as the thousands gathered at apac that the u.s. is taking israel's security seriously and is not

prime minister netanyahu is encouraging sanctions.is encouraging the white house to stay vigilant. >> that's juone of the messagese delivered to president obama. he is talking about the palestinian peace process. this is something the white house is very invested in. secretary of state john kerry has said the end of april is a deadline to create basic framework for peace talks and a basic set of agreements, things that both sides can accept. the prime minister spoke yesterday and with president obama, they addressed the press before they went behind closed doors for basically a three-hour meeting, quite a long amount of time for these two leaders to spend face to face. prime minister netanyahu said there were fund metals he is not willing to budge on. he wants the white house to insist the palestinians recognize the jewish state of israel. >> gives you a sense of the talking points we will hear this morning. >> libby, netanyahu stressing any deal, any peace deal reached, has to hinge first on israeli security. has there been any respo

netanyahu is not committed to a piece eel, he has to come up with that alternative. do you think he will listen to language like that? >> i don't think there is a thing wrong with that language because it's simply stating the reality. i think the prime minister is well aware of that. the real question is whether both sides in terms of the government and society are prepared to take the painful steps necessary to reach an accommodation in this conflict. i think it's very much in the interest of those societies and they think they ultimately will do so soon. struck me listening to prime minister netanyahu this afternoon -- he was talking that israel had done hits hard at the palestinians have not all stop it shows how not far we have come. we have just not come very far. we are still dealing with real basics here. >> you have to keep in mind public statements made by leaders in advance of negotiations usually represent their initial negotiating positions. the real challenges when they get into negotiations, whether they can find a way to reach an agreement that is poli

>> i think prime minister netanyahu deserves more credit on the leadership he has shown on that verysue. i mean, i recall former secretary of state hillary clinton calling my prime minister's settlement freeze, she said it was unprecedented. and my prime minister has shown as i said flexibility and leadership on this issue. i would like to remind everybody that when the prime minister moved on these issues, we removed all the settlements. what did we get in return? did we get peace when we left gaza? on the contrary, the issue of settlements will be resolved on the negotiation of settlements. but the conflict is not about settlements. the conflict is about the palestinian side, their refusal to accept the israeli state. it is time the palestinians crossed that bridge. it is time the palestinians, just as the israelis say they have a right to the state of their own. it is time that the palestinians recognize the same language, there is a jewish people, they have a set of land and they're entitled to that settlement, as well. >> thank you very much for being here tonight. good to have

state john kerry for saying it was a mistake in the diplomatic process the prime minister benjamin netanyahu to insist that the palestinians recognize israel as a jewish state arguing international law already defined israel as jewish the comets are made at the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas is the arrival in washington israel's communications minister said it put pressure on the wrong side of the defense minister moshe eon said it was a bass as refusal to recognize israel as jewish which was making it impossible to ride any final peace deal. the israelis and palestinians are currently negotiating on a framework for the steel although there have been little signs of progress in recent months last tuesday to meet president obama for talks about the needs are assessed by prime minister netanyahu met with the us president earlier this month. the loom the turkey's intention to join the european union is coming up against another sets of curtains. following a report to assess the country's not making enough political reforms the exception of presets to retain its demands. with the

netanyahu put down a harker. i'm not sure in fact whether netanyahu is counting on the president's absolute necessary city to pay attention to ukraine to kind of soften up the issue, but i don't think the president was very soft today and that message came through fairly tough. i think that in a way, the calculus here ha has to be if te president is going to hold tough with what kerry has negotiated or wants to negotiate, up to the point where as president bush did back in 1988, it takes israel to election, that will be a very serious, very important commitment on the part of the u.s. it may be the only commitment here that has a real chance of changing the configuration of events because once again prime minister netanyahu has to look at whether the short term survive of his coalition is more important to him than the long term survive, if i can put it that way, of his country. >> chris, what do you think? >> ukraine specifically one of the headlines said u.s. guarantees worthless, because they felt the u.s. has

netanyahu planned abbas. it affects the president's attention span or his focus on foreign policy, it also does another thing, it attracts and draws criticism to president obama. justified or not. >> why is that? >> you no the ukraine -- >> the ukraine? >> because it is bon temps -- >> i thought you were saying it attracts attention for failures when it comes to israel -- >> it does, in the sense of it's kind of fashionable in vogue now to attack obama on foreign policy. i think it's unjustifiable but arguably there's a case to be made. if he fails to act in ukraine, if he fails to act in syria according to the critics and he fails to act on the israel-palestine thing, then a lack of success, i think that's unfair judgment and unfair criticism but in terms of distracting attention, definitely ukraine has done its job. and mr. netanyahu may be very pleased with this distraction, by the way. he's been sort of off the hook. >> interesting discussion. always good to see you and actually have you in the studio. th
