we signed the oslo accord and they haven't received any peace. we tried with different engagements from god for anything for the long one that should be a three state solution and not two state solution. when i speak about three state solution, i speak about jordan, egypt and israel. i do not believe this to be a palestinian state in the land of judea and somalia because what was happening today in gaza. the range of islamic radical forces. u.s. yourself, do we want to see the same happening in jerusalem? i do not. in my book i have a lot of criticism regarding the administration, but there is some good decisions to eliminate osama bin laden. i see with the leadership in action when president obama decided to kill osama bin laden. they were ordering the troops to do it. 24 hours later there is one later that condemned the u.s. for killing one of the greatest leaders. do you know who without the care? which command you, the american? was always sure of the hamas organization in gaza. we were the only one who say i'm condemning the u.s. for arab na

>> first of all, as you know, we signed not only the oslo accords, but also the peace accords. there is a mechanism, how to collect money for debt. today it is our biggest problem, outstanding debt to the electricity company. about 700 million shekels. those are very serious troubles come a very serious -- troubles, very serious problems. we have international obligations. this is in clear opposition to their obligations, to their signature on the oslo peace accord. we do not need to pay for their electricity. we paid for the palestinians, and mahmoud abbas bought a new jet for $53 million. the prime minister of israel does not have his jet, but not with the boss has his jet -- mahmoud abbas has his jet that he bought three months ago. our problem today with the palestinians is not to help them, not to develop their economy, but to deal with corruption in their ministration. we draw our conclusions in this situation as we have today. we will try to compensate all of our losses, especially with our electricity company. we will respect all of our obligations, but it is not our du

it's an icon for oslo. the community loves it. they may never go to a opera but there enjoying the activity to the water and what encircling this building and wraps its way up as well. this is a view from higher elevation and the public can walk around and get spectacular views across the city and you can get down and touch the water as part of this development and in some ways we took inspiration of this and how could you connect the community to the water in a creative and iconic way? then we also started out by thinking about the site conditions appreciating the opportunities and the constraints that exist at this part of the waterfront, and there is some very interesting contrast. to the north the piers create much more urban everyone to the north and then you see the bridge and the sheds and the city behind. it's a more shaded side of the pier as the development is under taken. to the south in contrast a very beautiful small section of the bay here that abuts the embarcadero and the park and this is community oriented, a grea

. >> nothing awkward about sticking to the decision we have had for 20 years since oslo, that we want a palestinian state and the conditions that the two sides have exempted is that it would emerge from negotiations -- accepted that it would emerge from negotiations. the reason we oppose this resolution is that it trades at fictional palestinian state without negotiations, a palestine again without recognizing the jewish state, which means a perpetual state of war. our objective has been a peace treaty between the jewish state and palestinian state that except each other, and arabs will not accept a jewish state. >> i will quote abbas' words yesterday -- "we don't seek to delegitimize the state established years ago, and that is israel and." they are on record. >> these are the people you want to negotiate with. >> president obama and mike mitt romney to lunch. as promised, president obama and mitt romney over to the white house for lunch. i want to ask you about a new piece in "the new republic" about the romney campaign's internal polling. everywhere you go in washington, they say w

the palestinian authority violated the oslo accord trying to change the status of the west bank and gazahrough a means other than negotiation. i have to say it was a vote that could have been won by the united states and israel. but that, leave it for another day. i think israel is responding appropriately. i think that the initial israeli reaction sort of shuts the whole thing off was a mistake. this is a serious problem. and i think they are well within their legitimate rights to take the steps they take. >> eric: you said something fascinating, you think the vote could have been won. it was overwhelming. 138-4. nine against, 41 abstentions. how do you think, ambassador, israel and the u.s. and israel's allies could potentially have won this? >> guest: the same way that the george h.w. bush administration defeated very similar efforts by what was then the palestine liberation organization in 1989-1990 to enhance the status in the u.n. at that time, secretary of state jim baker said flatly and unequivocally if any u.n. organization enhanced the plo's status from that of observer organiz

purpose of keeping the whole show on the road or at least that's how they see it and the protesters in oslo that we've seen are also angry of a u. nation's foreign policy for example participating in nato is foreign wars it is not exactly promoting peace. it's one of the most disgusting aspects of this award there has not been peace in europe for the last sixty years as famines are wrong the president of the european council said everybody knows that there was a war against yugoslavia in one thousand nine hundred nine in which european states e.u. member states participated very fully they attacked you can you can produce europe in their european states so one cannot say that there has been peace in europe since then in any case if we look further afield with syria the european union's policy the actual policy of the european union as an organization nevermind its member states has been in my view to fan the flames of the conflict in syria and not to act as a peace broker so there is literally no way which we could say that the european union as foster peace is the organization losing touch

so he grew up in berlin, was in normandy, oslo. he speaks four to five languages quite competently. he is a global thinker. but on the war on terror, he has been -- he is tough. i mean, he is a great friend of israel, but yet he wants to see the peace process continue. and he is going to be the person who is going to have to start getting us out of afghanistan. i think he is right for that. he was tough on libya, calling for no-fly zone before anybody else. he had called for mubarak to step down before anybody else. so john kerry is somebody who is a war hero from vietnam, i mean, a bronze star, silver star, three purple hearts. so he is a warrior, but yet he is somebody who truly believes in negotiation and trying to have a peaceful world. and he also has great friendships on capitol hill. he is bipartisan. so people like lindsey graham and john mccain know him and respect him. so i think he will breeze through the confirmation. >> well, with that, i want to play a sound bite of both those two senators that you just mentioned, their reaction today to the choice. here it is. >> we h
