netanyahu: mr.resident, because of this historic recognition, and because i believe your peace plan strikes the right balance where other plans have failed, i've agreed to negotiate peace with the palestinians on the basis of your peace plan. [applause] p.m. netanyahu: it's a great plan for israel. it's a great plan for peace. frankly, mr. president, given all that you've already done for israel, i'm not surprised. you have been the greatest friend that israel has ever had in the white house. [applause] p.m. netanyahu: frankly, though we've had some great outstanding friends in these halls, it's not even close. [applause] p.m. netanyahu: your decisions to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital, to recognize israel's sovereignty over the golan heights, to reaffirm israel's claims in judea andjaw and samaria, to confront -- that's not the word, --eliminate cousin solemani solemani. to support israel in the intelligent fields and military fields, all of this bear testament to the friendship and depth

netanyahu i think the take from the palestinians will be. talks about a 2 state solution although he says said students have the right to a contingent state but he also said been conditions are right so the take it is rather that at the moment at least it gives israel boarded once now and prime minister netanyahu claims that this book pose a lousy israel to basically applies serenity over territory. west east and border and parts of. the occupied west bank but prime minister netanyahu refers to this today and some area so so that president trump says that palestinians do have the right to state when conditions are right but he doesn't say when those conditions are right we also don't know you know what state how to look like old though there was talk of a map but to be haven't yet seen the map yeah exactly we have to see the details trump called this his vision for peace we have to mention that that that is how he is classifying it it's clearly being welcomed with open arms from the israeli prime minister who called donald trump the greatest

while netanyahu israeli public at the moment.ment. while netanyahu is entitled to bring an immunity request before the parliament, it needs to satisfy certain criteria, which include discrimination, bad faith, or his inability to carry out the duties of the parliament and it does not seem that his personal political scandals will necessarily meet those criteria. you have just returned from tel aviv, i wonder what people are saying about prime minister netanyahu, are saying about prime minister neta nyahu, about the are saying about prime minister netanyahu, about the man himself?” think there are two sides of that coin. the first is those are extraordinarily frustrated that israel has been without a government for nearly a calendar year and a place the blame at the feet of netanyahu place the blame at the feet of neta nyahu who has place the blame at the feet of netanyahu who has been able to —— unable to form a coalition. he certainly has his loyalists who are proud of his record in the economy, with security situation, and feel

the each well continue to netanyahu's bribery case.tone to march the staff but to they operate ahead and his immunity has been. wait so that is going to go to court. i'm let's get back to what happened today that the white house no palestinian presence. about the word- ambassadors from oman uae and birane at the white house. what do you make of that. it's very interesting in that way i was very surprised actually see them. because they these contingencies this is veryy much- indicating. this slow rupte roach meantnt between. guf countries. and israel. and it's eight we have to hear bee very new ones. just because the ambassadors of those countries were thehere does not mean n thy actually supupport thehe deal. t it does show is that. the hap deport. the so called peace effortrt. and if yoyou look at e you with ththese- rex goals are now. they their is were very in very careful the language they wewere saying was that it was a it wasas a step towowards the rt direction- but also there's something else that needsds to e mentioned here as

this could hurt netanyahu's electorally. the alternative, beginning his court trial as he is running for reelection, could have been worse. most of the public opinion polls in israel show a result in the third election that's expected in march that is almost similar to the electiowe had in september, three months ago. lewis: so we're not necessarily any further forward in that case. >> yeah, exactly. this means we are continuing to be in a deadlock. for netanyahu, however, results similar to the september election is not good, because in the current makeup of the knesset, there is not a majority that supports his immunity request. it means that if we have an election and the result is similar, his request will be denied. lewis: next, the new south wales fire service in australia has warned people to leave the south coast of the state if they don't need to stay there. they are using calmer conditions to send staff to warn people to get out ahead of fire danger forecast this weekend. at least seven people have died since octob

mr netanyahu made his announcement in a live television address.speaker of the knesset, according to article 4, to let me implement my right, my duty and my mission to continue serving you, for the future of israel. i intend to ask because i am sacrificing my life to you, people of israel. but there are people who, unlike me, did commit grave crimes, and they have lifelong immunity. they are just on the right side of the media and the left wing. for more i spoke to sara hirschhorn. she is an assistant professor of israel studies at northwestern university in chicago. at the moment there is no parliamentary committee in the israeli knesset that could even consider netanyahu's request because israel is now headed to its third election and does not have a government and therefore does not have any parliamentary committee standing to consider this request, which will not happen at least until the second of march when the third israeli election in a calendar year will be held. it is a relatively strong case against mr netanyahu. he denies any wrongdoing

this could hurt netanyahu's electorate. the ternative givin beginning his court trial as he is running for reelection could have been worse. most of the public opinion polls in israel show a result in the expecteection that's in march that is almost similar to the electn we had in septembe three month ago. >> so we're not necessarily any further forward in that case. >> yeah, exactly. this means we e continuing to be in a deadlock. for netanyahu, however, results similar to the september econ is not good, because in the current makeup of the knesset, there is not a majority that supports his immunity request. if we have an election and the results are similar, his request will be denied. fascinating stuff and a fascinating time in israe thanks very much for your time. >> thank you. >> next come australia's bushfire crisis continues to escalate, fueledor by r breaking temperatures and months of severe drought. at the 17 people have died since october across new south wales, victoria, a southwesterly. een worst wales has hi f

netanyahu and trump will together. donald trump's plan for peace in the middle east a circle deal of the century so potentially netanyahu wanting to clear the immunity question out of the way in order just a few weeks out from the election on march the 2nd to allow for more focus on what he says is a historic opportunity for israel in terms of this trump peace plan the thing is that of course it also allows the court case to proceed and so that will itself become a live issue again. century of the election yeah harry and a lot of questions like you're pointing out being asked about the timing of this specifically on the on social media and so forth but just talk us through a little bit more about his indictments because they are for bribery fraud as well as breach of trust talk us through the details. that's right there are 3 separate corruption cases cases 100-200-4000 they range from accepting and indeed soliciting lavish gifts from sort of from very wealthy billionaire friends known israeli some of them to more impo

going to you know we've got these 2 leaders standing today side by side of the white house netanyahu he's been indicted faces charges of fraud we've got an impeached us president on trial for abuse of power what do you think what does trump stand to gain domestically from this plan. well i think that president trump is hoping to demonstrate that he is not consumed by the impeachment trial in the senate that he has more important things to do and that he is not shying away shang way from solving big problems and of course he was not only addressing the international audience during his press conference in the white house today he was also addressing his space here in the you as the christian evangelicals who strongly support the state of israel and of course also influential figures in the jewish communities here in the u.s. and he needs their supporters to be reelected in november and briefly what about netanyahu he's stand to gain with this. well there has been a lot of talk of course in israel why this peace plan or at this deal of centuries released now just a couple of weeks befo

the layer here is netanyahu. international law is not determined by an indicted -- impedes president and an indicted israeli prime minister. it is determined by others. others have long since determined those territories are illegally occupied. everything a dozen in jerusalem is illegal. -- i would not call it a conspiracy. cooked up byhing calle two leaders try to escape the plight area in order to increase our chances at the next election. when israel -- one in israel and then one in our country. both of them think this will help them. he won't see the light of day. the things that it includes such as annexation and so forth will go ahead. go ahead in any case. i don't think this is a momentous plan in any way, shape, or form. it simply represents, as i said, the wish list of the extreme israeli rights, which has now been endorsed by the american president. t trump'sis president son-in-law jared kushner speaking on cnn. >> i come from a real estate background. it was a very difficult to draw these lines and get

but in general what reaction has there been in israel itself well you're certainly netanyahu had been promising that he wanted to make the most of a historic opportunity it was pretty clear very soon in the course of the unveiling of that opportunity for him to a large degree meant annexation. of israeli settlements in the short term the prime minister's office says that there will be a vote put to the israeli cabinet this coming sunday to enact that and as well as that the next ation of the jordan valley and of permanent israeli security presence there for netanyahu this is something that he very clearly wants to make the centerpiece of his campaign for the latest israeli election which falls on march the 2nd he withdrew his application for immunity from prosecution from the israeli parliament the knesset earlier in the same day allowing for his indictment to go through and be lodged in the israeli courts on 3 separate corruption cases because he wants it seems to focus very much on the deal and its aftermath and as well as these huge sweeping changes in the occupied west bank with v

president donald trump and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu are both facing legal troubles and they're both in the middle of election campaigns instead of trying to find common ground between the 2 parties it sounds more like a series of taking or leave it suggestions so is the deal of the century really the biggest debt deal of the century is it a well timed distraction for trump and netanyahu is the point even to try to make peace in the middle east fortunately we have 3 people with us who have the answers noura erekat a human rights attorney and one of the founders of the dot com she joins us from rutgers university in new jersey where she's an assistant professor of africana studies and here in washington we have dan our bell former israeli diplomat and negotiator and currently at the center for israeli studies at american university and shibley telhami the anwar sadat professor for peace and development at the university of maryland thank you all so much for being with us norah let me start with you let me ask you as this deal is laid out what are the fundamental and core

well the 1st thing it seems that benjamin netanyahu wants to do that is to enact the green light that he's been given by donald trump to. exert israeli full sovereign law in other words an ex the settlements in the occupied west bank the israeli government has the israeli prime minister's office has confirmed that it will put such a measure to a cabinet vote on sunday now this is obviously hugely controversial in national terms but also controversial in israeli politics terms just on the basis that netanyahu has now survived 2 inconclusive elections as caretaker prime minister still so he doesn't really have a mandate necessarily for such consequential action as this nonetheless he very much sees this as key to his continued presence in office it's clear that he wants to make this the heart of his election campaign the next election is due on the 2nd of march and so he says he will be putting or is office says he will be putting it to a cabinet vote on sunday as far as the electoral politics of this goes though it's not an unqualified win for netanyahu there are those on the right who
