joining us from tel aviv is ben birnbaum, a contributor at the "new republic" and the author of thisy, "the end of the two-state solution." ben thanks for joining us. in your article, ben, you sort of outline your argument for the fact that the time is now for a two-state solution. despite the title of the story. and among the things you outlined, you say the majority of israelis and palestinians support a two-state solution. that the majority of the settlements they can still be doern down and that abbas remains in office and he's probably the best partner there may be for a two-state solution. tell us more about this thesis? >>. >> sure, what i would say is that to have a two-state solution, as opposed to just a two-state reality, which theoretically israel could create unilaterally. but an actual deal signed by leaders on both sides that does formally end the conflict, you really need four categories of things. you need first and foremost for a solution to be doable on the ground. you need to be able to draw a border between the two states that would satisfy the political needs of

an all time low they are under threat and in most small part due to the actions of washington and tel aviv themselves the situation in syria has only made things worse you have the rise of islamic extremism across the region following the arab spring and this is something that the united states directly supported at the same time what we're really seeing is and washington is having to deal with problems that it created and this is essentially the core or at least part of the core of kerry's first visit to this region after taking office. well with israel coming under increasing pressure from its neighbors some experts believe the u.s. is prepared to ensure security by any means we have not seen a major rewrite situation in the american city in light years ring. transition in egypt in particular it's really still the same whole series of them for now the body is used to protect american interests is really the army rather than the presidential palace it's the army that continues to get a great deal of american funds and it's through the closed door that i think americans hope tuning in many

following a rocket attacks from the palestinian territory last week during president obama's visit to tel aviv our policy looks at how a lack of high profile dialogue is causing even more of a sand in the rest of region. anger on the streets of ramallah against a palestinian government people here say is to be inactive to bring peace after years of negotiations between the two sites contain protest as israeli settlements have only expanded and the occupation. of the palestinian authority is part of the problem and not the solution present a bass is a servant of the israeli occupation israel wants from the palestinian authority two things the security agent and a financial agent so it can control the palestinian people the palestinian authority does this for jamal juma organizes regular demonstrations against the palestinian authority he says if there was one thing that would change his opinion it would be if he saw real progress from palestinian israeli dialogue but the two sides haven't sat down together since september two thousand and ten many moderate palestinians are losing faith and look

other places i wonder what the saudis and the turks will be thinking but certainly who knows even tel aviv and ron and all the people in the region who are interested in peace ironically in syria because of the threat of fundamentalist islam rearing its head in a secular state maybe there can be some kind of negotiation that occurs but certainly not with this mr hitto personally with his m.b.a. from indiana university while still a time as well as we reach the second anniversary of all these bad things that are happening in syria still the worry about conflict creep going into lebanon lebanon the last twenty four hours has condemned what it says was a cross border jet attack by syria is it likely the country's going to become embroiled in this conflict. well i think neighbors in the middle east may be looking at things slightly differently because of that latest development these are only elements within the lebanese coalition in beirut so the fact that they're criticizing the outside government for cross border incursions shouldn't be taken as seriously as the possibility of rebels terror
