3:49 am
our wishes and vision and president trump is looking for ideas coming from israel. otherwise, the only thing they will find is an israeli stateation, a two solution, which most of israel believes does not exist anymore. in order to understand that, i will start may be with the bottom line. you are all probably familiar with what i israel is known for with policy, domestic policy. and this meeting that is going to take place in washington next week is a lot about foreign policy, but is most affected by domestic policy. israel'sd understand public opinion, which will influence netanyahu's next

only things we need to do is to strengthen our military power and to make sure that we are not making any mistakes and taking any -- and not gambling with our future. fourth, president obama yes,ally in the israeli e removed from the table, the options for a military strike on iran. from the moment he spoke about the agreement and signed the agreement, iran actually removed the military option. and if we look today, we see investments from china and russia. we understand it has become much more complicated. if you think about u culpability, we eliminate the well-known activities inside of

your. inside europe., maybe we should cross to a new administration of how israel looks of public opinion. they are differences between left and right. but the majority of the israelis i would say are in the pragmatic sound. -- pragmatic zone. first of all, most of the israelis, there are things that we will find a new attitude with the peace agreement and the attention and possibilities with all these public policy talks. , i would say there is a usednal symbol that trump in his campaign, like the
3:54 am
embassy that he is going to move to jerusalem and for most of the israelis, including from the left, it sounds reasonable. they are willing to accept the .utcome accept the e outcomes, but most of the israelis in jerusalem would like to see most of the embassies inside jerusalem. it is a lot just to move them inside tehe west city. israelisost of the to what isitude

called the clash of civilizations.

4:02 am
today, we can see how netanyahu is fighting on the same vote with the same attitude, the same ideas and actually trying to as aibe themselves right-wing later that believes in the metaphors of the right wing. thatu add to that the fact netanyahu is under political investigation and under a lot of in these which comes kinds of situations, to therstand that he has problem to put something new to the table which will risk this provision, strong right-wing
4:03 am
leaders have control on the right-wing voters. lead tof those points the israeli dilemma. the israeli dilemma with donald is, first of all, if trump at to [indiscernible] lict,e conf [indiscernible] if you actually changes this in the eyes of the government of israel. secondly, if it is possible at in to offer a new attitude
4:04 am
the israeli-palestinian conflict. otherwise, mr. netanyahu comes advisers wouldg, policy, and the only thing that can find is actually the declarations of netanyahu about a two state solution, in which the eyes of many israelis does not exist anymore. it is very hard for a right-wing leader and even a left-wing to fluctuate such a number of settlers. is it possible to bring new ideas to the table? to break out of the box and put
4:05 am
ideas for a two state solution to the conflict out of view? maybe if you go back to the -- to spread the palestinian authority and minimize the conflict by expressions or a small amount of declarations, or even by -- to [indiscernible] the last point i would like to mention is the fact that in order to bring something in this the fact in israel, -- a political discussion about the vision is
4:06 am
without president trump -- political allies in the government. will be toldwhat to president trump. a big dilemma and netanyahu -- is -- a new idea will call voters to criticize them. those voters -- if we are going back to the senator -- netanyahu -- to make sure the elections take place in the -- keep his power,
4:07 am
[indiscernible] huge dilemma. thank you. >> ok, thank you. very useful. take you very much. with that, we will open the floor to your questions, if you could be kind enough to raise your hand and wait for the microphone. keep your weston's brief and identify to whom you are asking the question. yes, dan. wait for the mike and congratulations on your new position. this is for david makovsky. because you are rather privileged compared to most of us who are journalists and analysts in that you were in the state department as part of the state department team, what can
4:08 am
you share with us about the importance of the personalities involved right now at the start of the trump administration? rex tillerson's view is going to be super important, who his middle east experts are, really important. or is it your view that the way it looks, it is all up to president trump and perhaps two men who are close to him in his worldview, general mike flynn, his national security visor and his political advisor steam -- steve bannon. >> i have to speak with some humility, dan, because i think every administration will have its own personality and i think things at the beginning of this administration that we haven't seen at the beginning of others. but with any administration, it takes time to get their sea legs , and we cannot write things off in any way. we have to wait and see how things shape up and shake out a in terms of, who are the key
4:09 am
players. you are right about tillerson, he just started. we don't know who the deputy -- of-- deputy estate is, state is. we don't know how the state department will interact with white house. often, the white house -- they have got so many issues. how much can they do? sometimes, the policy is more anchored in the white house, sometimes it is more anchored in the administration. can go back to jim baker's time, it was very much a state department-driven policy because of the relationship of bush and baker. we can look at another model of george w. bush period, i am thinking to the republican period, where it was driven more out of the white house with condoleezza rice as national security advisor.
4:10 am
i am a little concerned about overgeneralizing and too much extrapolation. the only thing i feel certain about is the uncertainty to say until they put their people in play, until we know more about the interaction between the president and the secretary, the nsc and nea, it is a little soon. but there is a tone from the that is indispensable. it matters a lot who sits in that chair. there are a lot of judgment calls that they get the thumbs-up or thumbs down, even if they don't do all the nitty-gritty work. i don't understand -- underestimate the role of who is --the oval office arid office. with israeli out and palestinian policy -- i just want to be a little cautious in extrapolating. >> thank you. up front.
4:11 am
first, a short comment -- you had mentioned about president trump saying he wanted to destroy isis. you forget he also said he wanted to destroy the johnson amendment about the separation of church and state on funding. it is just vocabulary. makovsky,ask david and he mentioned about the palestinians needing to stop the incitement and encouraging funds to the survivors of the suicide bombers, i have seen increasing amount of material in the press about the role in encouraging this behavior of steadfast martyrdom and opposition and there has been some discussion about serious efforts to defund undera.
4:12 am
some have said if it is not there and can't do a job, it may make the situation worse. what is your view about the value of such a campaign? >> thank you. -- israel knows that a lot of kids who are in the schools are in those schools. if you tell israel that on one hand, they don't like it and they can give you a lot of chapter and verse on why they .on't like it outside, -- they will to you a lot of chapter and verse of why they don't think they are helpful. ask them the second question. would you rather end all aid to ask who is they going to fill the vacuum? who is going to educate? we don't have that kind of
4:13 am
money. ideald say there is an solution and we did a study on unruh many years ago. why is this issue singled out? that would be to me, ideal. someone has to deal with the refugee crisis. but just to say, i don't like unruh is only half an answer because you have to think about who fills it in. when israel doesn't see who the substitute is, they are not excited about pulling funding from unruh whenever i have looked into it. >> on this question, i think you post a bit of a red herring here. the real debate is not about the funding unruh, it is whether or not the functions of it appropriately fall under the unhcr. here, the ultimately real question is, should palestinian
4:14 am
refugees be subject to the same definition of refugee as refugees elsewhere around the world? which is what differentiates refugees that come under unruh, mainly palestinian refugees and all other refugees, namely it is an inherited characteristic that you can be third and fourth generation, you can be living wherever you might live around the world and still be a refugee. according to the unruh definition. this gets to the heart of the debate. i don't know anybody who is saying the end of the human services be better being close downom unruh, the schools, close down the hospitals -- i don't know anybody who is saying that. the debate is on a different set of issues. yes, on the left and we will come back to the right and the center. that is just the way we are. never been characterized as
4:15 am
on the left before, but thank you. thinkon about whether you president trump, and prime minister netanyahu can find common ground in the following way. coming out of eight years as you described as pressure on israel from the obama administration, also it. bank of time or the palestinians more and more went to the u.n. and other international bodies and governments to make an end run around things. they could have a common ground in saying, we are going to actually put more pressure on the palestinians. netanyahu's government is going to have more backing from us, perhaps in early moves regarding the relocation of the embassy to jerusalem, with mild statements about settlement activity within existing blocks. basically, the united states says we will block the
4:16 am
palestinians wherever else they might go and the only avenue to be pursued is a resumption of bilateral negotiations, which the trump administration is prepared to say, let's make a deal in that context. but the background regime shift with a very strong and aggressive message of, there is a new sheriff in town and we are putting a lot more pressure diplomatically on the palestinians. is that a common ground approach? >> i think in practice, you will see the u.s. wielding the veto pen more often than it did in the past eight years. i think the obama administration only raised the hand of veto. they only did one veto in eight years and it was on settlements in 2011. it abstained on is very view,versial and in my very misguided resolution in december 2016. i think yeah, ambassador haley and their team that the u.n. iske it clear
4:17 am
not the arena to solve this issue. view, they need to come up myh a positive approach -- fear is that if you just say, resume diplomatic talk, people say ok, but these people hate each other, they don't agree on anything. i am hesitant about putting all of the exit on the resumption of bilateral negotiations when i don't think it will lead anywhere. that is why nathan and i articulated the approach that dennis and i wrote in the transition paper which was to come up with something programmatic, something people can see is actually a change on the ground. just call for diplomatic talks in my view, is going to be very lame. but i totally agree with you about the u.n.. that is just going to happen. whether the u.s. declares it and in which ways, he will find ways i am sure, but i think that is
4:18 am
what will be the reality. the u.s. will be much more activist in pushing back at the united nations. i will add one more thought on this and you are all welcome to weigh in if you would like. conundrum forr the trump administration. the president, if you remember, in his campaign, he talked about -- i am going to negotiate the best deal ever. so i think yes, there will be a desire to have the parties get back to the table. shut off internationalization, shut off the u.n., get them back to the table. observers --ctive i like to say objective because that includes me and david and dennis. most objective observers, just conclude that the objective circumstances for success aren't there. and there are all sorts of other things you need to do. you need to build up an effective palestinian governance, a need to get some corruption under control, you need to do some economic stuff to build the situation in which
4:19 am
a real resumption of diplomacy can proceed. that stuff isn't as sexy as getting around a table and negotiating the best deal ever. so that would require a decision. and it will require manpower and will require internet -- intellectual capital and real effort. are they ready to invest that so maybe later in the term, they will be able to come back and reap the benefits of real diplomacy? well, i think that is a conundrum. >> that i just added -- and hopefully -- maybe you might not have meant this, but when i say about shut off the internationalization, i think israel has to do that for you. it was law that was passed just this week, we didn't have a lot of time to go through the issues, but it is telling to me in aid of netanyahu, the cabinet secretary and attorney
4:20 am
general, has said he won't defend in the courts and there is a report this morning -- i know we have a corresponding i don't know if it is true or false or what, but saying he is going to come out against it publicly, be proactively against it. it just seems to me this law is going to get overturned. i think it is something netanyahu had as a hole in the head before washington. it was outflanked by bennett and a lot of energy from the right is coming from its own party. he feels very much kind of caught between the whole thing evacuation,ek with israel have a lot of police injuries. there is a lot of dynamics on the ground that he went ahead and is counting on the courts to govern for him. it is an interesting dynamic. that's all i'll say. there willas
4:21 am
have to be some tough fluff love about the united nations, which i think will be good, i think the trump statement of last week was to say, don't associate me with the open checks tool. that is not where i am. i see more reverting to the bush administration than anything else. do you want to add anything here? >> yes, if i may. the fact there is a new sheriff of positive lot aspects in israel and possibly the israelis think he will change anything. something thelso israelis chair that there is one day a president trump who wakes up in the morning and decides he wants the nobel prize and will call netanyahu and say, look, i want to make israel great again,
4:22 am
let's pass a deal. find the line here on the map we know it is much more complicated. you idea today is to find a way but first time in 50 years, we are celebrating 50 years since the 1967 war. to decide what the israelis want without any pressure from outside. from that point, we need to --ide which parts we want ambitions to make it out of israel, which parts we are going to remain debatable areas. what are we going to do with the palestinians? how are we going to call them? in order to do those things, you need to look at discussion.
4:23 am
netanyahu and president trump, point, a, the starting new attitude that will change the fact that the ideal two state pollution -- solution as we know it from the 1990's is not feasible anymore. one could say it is because of settlement, one could say it is because of the palestinians. the peace talks in 2011, i was responsible for the blame game. the blame game is not important anymore. that it istant possible to bridge the gap and opportunity of need to thinkwe out-of-the-box the box. if israel will not do that, i am sure president trump is not going to find a different way
4:24 am
that will adopt the old ideas -- the bush administration or the obama administration, at the end , the conflict between jerusalem and washington. interesting. thank you. why don't we just very quickly, i will ask three people to do their questions and we will wrap up. yes there, yes in the middle, and yes right here. >> "washington post." i just want each of you to say the word about elliott abrams returning to government and to this issue. d.c. him as a mostly helpful force, a mostly unhelpful force, and what is the opinion of him from israel? thank you. >> very good. thank you. yes. i'm not usually considered in
4:25 am
the center, either. university of maryland. this is for david, mainly. you and others assume the palestinians would sort of, say the same. he is 88 years old. fors unlikely he will last g more years. there is no obvious successor. palestiniansbout want. what do you think will happen when he leaves the stage?
4:26 am
very good. yes, last. right here on the left. you've got a is it something that can be sold to the palestinian's there is new sheriff in town? the visitlis believe to the united states supports israel and shows publicly maybe there is something the palestinians will entertain or at least it will be a base of negotiations? great, ok. david, do you want to start? i'm just speaking on the
4:27 am
issue of expertise. elliott abrams would be a very important signal that someone who has experience in this issue will be very much at the center of administration policy. who was actually the architect of the bush letter versed inand is well a lot of these west bank issues. he is not starting afresh. this is not at all to denigrate new people come with maybe fresh eyes, of course, but adding him to that mix and that key thation, would be a sign here is somebody with experience who wants to really help out the new team. i think that would be, in my view -- i served in a democratic administration, but it would be
4:28 am
welcome across the board by democrats, republicans and the analyst community alike. which i associate myself most with in the analyst community. , paul'snd question question about succession. turns 82ow, abu mazen in march. he smokes two packs of cigarettes a day. i talked to one of the security officials said, i spoke with him. i said, great. i don't see on the verge of succession -- at a time of succession, megan decisions -- they are going to -- i just don't see it. in the middle east, they tend to look over the right shoulder, not the left. everyone jockeys for succession. i don't see one dominant successor. you could say that is true in the arab world.
4:29 am
some might say it is true in israel too. in the arab world or israel has ever allowed a number two to take such hold. so it is kind of more, not the exception but the rule. and i are where we are tend to see, because there is no obvious successor, the net effect is, i see some sort of modeled collectivist leadership -- call it a transitional leadership or no one is strong enough to dominate the others, just strong enough to block other potential successors. it is a protracted affair where if they don't hang together, they all hang separately. collectivism, it sounds so soviet. it is the middle east, it is all true. something transitional to help the palestinians get into a new
4:30 am
period worried don't forget, abu mazza when he was named in 2005, he had the history -- historical legitimacy and was elected by everyone. and it was a parliament. those are three things you don't have today. you don't have an obvious successor with that historical legacy, you don't have parliament and you don't have an election. there is a deficit here. i'm not just saying he is in the 11th year of a four your term. that all points to the fact that protracted thing. i'm sure someone will emerge at the end, but nothing immediately. point about state of mind, i don't think we are ready for a state. the whole issue is premature at this point. you would have to get into the five or five, what are the borders, what about refugees,
4:31 am
what about the juice from -- jerusalem, every one of these things is a political minefield. i think it is not realistic to come up with a bumper sticker -- even a good bumper sticker or a bad bumper sticker right now. it is more about, what you do right now? how do you move off of the utter impasse right now. have you give dignity to both sides, change dynamics on the ground but don't touch these supercharged final status issues that each one is a political minefield. have you navigate that? that is the question. elliott, i concur with david. , iuld elliott be appointined think he would substantially enhance the human capital of --ertise on these issues this is a complicated part of
4:32 am
the world. a complicated world, in general. i think elliott would be a major gain to the administration. second, abu mazen, what happens after he dies, there is every model, i could give you every speech. there is that sadat model. we didn't know who this guy was and he turned out to emerge as the big leader. there is the collective model that begins that ends at a different direction, there are the names everybody here knows. it could be told -- somebody totally different coming out of the security establishment. i do think what is likely is that when the dust settles, there will be a leader. far moreleader will be likely than the current leader to be able to take the decisions that will be necessary for peace.
4:33 am
not to disparage abu mazen, he made to distort -- historic decision. terror ledofficial by arafat against israel years ago. and he went into a different direction. there are all sorts of stuff that goes on, winking and nodding. there was a big decision that abu mohsen took years ago, that regrettably was the last big decision he took. you can't survive forever on the fumes of that decision. so that is one of the big reasons we are where we are. i --r state minas, the reality is if there ever or is a palestine, everyone recognizes it will be state minas like dozens of other states around the world. there are numerous states around the world that come into ious aspectith var
4:34 am
of their sovereignty circumscribed into their existence. it is really the definition of where the sovereignty will be circumscribed, to what extent, how, when, for how long. these are all matters for negotiation. it is not the big innovation, it is how you get there and there, i think the ideas that david and others have been talking about, i view as essential. that, i think you so much for contributing in today's event and thank my colleague david and thank you all for being with us today at the washington institute.
