he's speaking truth to the conscious of israel at a time when israel's civil society is under stress because of the religious community against women. mr. rivalin has been supporting gay rights, supporting women's rights. demanding that is supreme court in israel be respected. you have to essentially give mr. rivalin a lot of credit. a lot of mr. peres's legacy is rubbing off on rivalin. >> we expect president obama to speak in a few minutes. as soon as mr. peres's son wraps up his eulogy of his father. one thing we talk about at the beginning of the coverage were the dignitaries there. one notable absence of any arab leaders. talk about what that is a testament to given the current relationship israel has be its neighbors. we talked about rabin's funeral attended by mubarak. you mentioned jordanian deputy prime minister. what does it say about the state of relations between israel and its neighbors? >> ironically it says symbolically arabs are reluctant to be seen with a person not viewed in the arab world by what i would call the arab street as a great leader of peace because many

the united nations denounces israel; the united states supports israel. and a central pillar of that defense has been america's consistent support for israel at the un. i appreciate president obama's commitment to that longstanding us policy. in fact, the only time that the united states cast a un security council veto during the obama presidency was against an anti-israel resolution in 2011. as president obama rightly declared at this podium, peace will not come from statements and resolutions at the united nations. i believe the day is not far off when israel will be able to rely on many, many countries to stand with us at the un. slowly but surely, the days when un ambassadors reflexively condemn israel, those days are coming to an end. ladies and gentlemen: today's automatic majority against israel at the un reminds me of the story, the incredible story of hiroo onada. hiroo was a japanese soldier who was sent to the philippines in 1944. he lived in the jungle. he scavenged for food. he evaded capture. eventually he surrendered, but that didn't happen

yep, you guessed it -- israel. israel. israel, where women fly fighter jets, lead major corporations, head universities, preside -- twice -- over the supreme court, and have served as speaker of the knesset and prime minister. and this circus continues at unesco. unesco, the un body charged with preserving world heritage. now, this is hard to believe, but unesco just denied the 4,000-year connection between the jewish people and its holiest site, the temple mount. that's just as absurd as denying the connection between the great wall of china and china. ladies and gentlemen: the un, begun as a moral force, has become a moral farce. so when it comes to israel at the un, you'd probably think nothing will ever change, right? well, think again. you see, everything will change, and a lot sooner than you think. the change will happen in this hall, because back home, your governments are rapidly changing their attitudes towards israel. and sooner or later, that's going to change the way you vote on israel at the un. more and more

and israel in jerusalem. this is the most religious city in israel. and many respects a city that is still under seize because terrorist attacks that are occurred. mosque called for a day of rage to be waged at this funeral. thankfully, we haven't heard of any attacks. it's a time of judeaic reflection. it's time for jews to look deep inside their soul. october 12th, a day when all israelis, all jews around the world, fast and seek god's forgiveness for their sins. in many respects, it is very spiritual to israelis that shimon died -- just before the beginning of high holy days. and some respects, because he was not only a leader, but he also is a family man. what you're saying is a great family holiday, all jewish families gather. all israeli families gathers on the eve to have dinner or some of your services, either on monday or tuesday. >> it's time of height and spiritua spirituality. >> and it is the holyiest period. >> what can you imagine the reflections will be to these families as we come to the celebration and knowing that -- within days of

with israel. the next m.o.u. will be the next chapter in this friendship. it shows no matter who the next president will be, israel has america's promise of support. as israel faces uncertainties to its reaming, at least it can count on american support, and congress should work to make that happen. israel has never asked for american troops or soldiers or for anyone to defend them except themselves. and we ought to help them, continue to help them do that. i ask all my members -- all members support this resolution, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. royce: i yield such time to the gentlelady from florida, ms. ros-lehtinen, who chairs the foreign affairs subcommittee on the middle east and north africa and is the author of this measure. i yield her such time as she might consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from florida is recognized for as much time as she may consume. m

given the history of hostility towards israel israel, does anyone really believe that israel will lead to the u.n. determine our security and vital national interest? we will not accept any attempt by the u.n. to dictate terms to israel. the road to peace and runs through jerusalem and ramada not through york. -- new york but regardless of have to no-confidence in the years ahead the revolution stands among the nation will penetrate the hall of nations and i have so much confidence that i predict one decade from now the israeli prime minister will stand right here and actually applied the u.n.. wide we have to wait a decade? like we keep the vilifying israel? perhaps because you don't appreciate it is in just a problem for my country, but your country to. if the u.n. spends so much time condemning the only liberal democracy in the least, it has far less time to have war for disease or poverty or clementine them all other serious problems that plague the planet. half a million slaughtered syrians helped by air-conditioned x including a field hospital. when i then gaze hanging from great

obama: and now, the 9th president of israel. and i think president clinton would agree with me on this -- shimon peres is the ultimate "comeback kid." [laughter] and he's still going -- on facebook, on you tube -- [laughter] pres. obama: -- connecting with young people; looking to new technologies, always "facing tomorrow." recently, he was asked, "what do you want your legacy to be?" and shimon replied, "well, it's too early for me to think about it." [laughter] pres. obama: shimon, you earned your place in history long ago. and i know your work is far from done. but tonight is another example of how it's never too early for the rest of us to celebrate your legendary life. shimon teaches us to never settle for the world as it is. we have a vision for the world as it ought to be, and we have to strive for it. perhaps shimon's spirit comes from what he calls the jewish "dissatisfaction gene." [laughter] pres. obama: "a good jew," he says, "can never be satisfied." there is a constant impulse to question, to do even better. so, to

the united nations denounces israel, the united states supports israel. and a central pillar of that defense has been america's consistent support for israel at the u.n. i appreciate president obama's commitment to that longstanding u.s. policy. in fact, the only time that the united states cast a u.n. security council veto during the obama presidency was against an anti-israel resolution in 2011. as president obama rightly declared at this podium, peace will not come from statements and resolutions at the united nations. i believe the day is not far off when israel will be able to rely on many, many countries to stand with us at the u.n.. slowly but surely, the days when u.n. ambassadors reflexively con them israel, those days are coming to an end. ladies and gentlemen, today's automatic majority against israel at the u.n. reminds me of the story, the incredible story of hiro -- harris: prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu never fails to capture attention when he speaks. he began with changes he sees for his country at the united nations, he talks

i want to give israel 1% of the money the ayatollah will get to destroy israel. when you look at what happens since the deal has been signed, it's been terrible for israel and terrible for us. iranian test fired four ballistic missiles in violation of the u.n. resolution and marching through the middle east create being havoc. what i want to do is send a signal that congress hasn't forgotten about you. the sanctions will be there waiting on you if you cheat. by the way, the more you threaten israel, the more we're going to help them. >> what about them threatening us? you're a military guy -- >> they are threatening us. >> provocations to our aircraft and navy vessels. i thought this deal closed up the gap. >> they see obama as weak. all i can tell any middle eastern ally like israel, go hire an iranian, they do better with obama man you do. the iranians have walked all over the obama administration and provocative at every turn against us, against the sunni arab states and toppled four arab capitals and gotten away with it. when it comes to this deal with israel

meeting here in israel. i think both of us understood that we were here only because in some way we reflected the magnificent story of our nations. shimon's story. the story of israel. the experience of the jewish people. i believe it is universal. it's the story of a people who over so many centuries in the wilderness never gave up on that basic human longing to return home. it's the story of a people who suffered the boot of oppression and the shutting of the gas chamber's door and yet, never gave up on a belief in goodness. it's a story of a man who was counted on and then often counted out again and again and who never lost hope. shimon peres reminds us that the state of israel like the state of america was not built by cynics. we exist because people before us refused to be constrained by the past or the difficulties of the present. and shimon peres was never cynical. it is that faith, that optimism, that belief even when all the evidence is to the contrary. that tomorrow can be better. that makes us no

>> the arlington cemetery of israel. when you go to mount herzl, it is the site not too far from the holocaust memorial of israel as well. most of israel's major leaders and politicians as generals are buried on mount herzl. we're looking at the audience and seeing the dignitaries. prince charles there, you see as we're taking a live look at this under way, we're talking about who is there but also it is important to note who is not there especially when it comes to representatives of the middle east, i understand only one representative from jordan will be in attendance. >> indeed. in fact, unlike when prime minister rabine was assassinated and the king of jordan attended, the deputy of the economic affairs is the highest ranking authority who has a peace treaty with israel. it shows in some respects the extraordinary challenges that israel is facing in the turbulent middle east with the allies even and at the same time, i think it is also fitting to remind everybody that despite the perhaps insignificant level of our p

but american christians to israel. and you know there's a very interesting thing, there is one constant and it's a poll, gallup has been polling this question for 40 years asking americans who do you side with in this dispute, the israelis or the arabs? and it's always basically breaks down 60, 15. 60 israel, 15 or less palestinian side. so one of the reasons that apec is effective to the degree that it's effective is that, like any lobby, like any effective lobby is pushing on an open door. it's easy to support israel in american still, despite all of the controversies. i would say this, this is, and i, watching the republican debates in particular, it's actually made me sort of queasy in a kind of way. like they're using israel as a stand-in, right. it's not even a country anymore, it's symbolizing stalwart, plucky israel being persecuted by this democratic president stands for everything that we don't like about this president, and it's the strangest thing in the world. i mean this is the, i think what you're observ

and he helped establish israel's nuclear weapons program. peres also was a vocal opponent of a two state solution between israel and the palestinians. mos says: "he thought a territorial compromise in the west bank would be a disaster for israel." but it was his time as israel's foreign minister that peres left his mark on history. as the chief architect of the 1993 oslo nearly a decade of progress and mutual cooperation between the israelis and palestinians. ultimately, along with yassar arafat and yitzhak rabin, peres was awarded the nobel peace prize for his efforts. active politics, peres spent his time promoting joint arab-israeli peace projects. believing neighbors-- no matter their shared and violent history--must find a way to live together. until the end of his life, shimon peres fought for israel, both in war and in peace. in jerusalem, conor powell, fox after hearing about the death of peres, president obama tweeted out this response last night. " my condolences to the family of one of the world's greatest leaders." tonight in tam

delegation traveling to israel for the funeral of shimon peres friday. the former prime minister and president died today at 93. in a statement, mr. obama said "a light has gone out. but the hope he gave us will burn forever." holly williams is in tel aviv. >> reporter: the life of shimon peres was in many ways the story of israel itself. he was part of the generation that founded the jewish state. and over nearly seven decades of public service, he was a minister in 12 different cabinets, prime minister twice, as well as israel's president. he helped secure historic peace deals with israel's arab neighbors, egypt, jordan and as foreign minister perez held ground breaking secret negotiations with the palestinians. resulting in the oslo accords. signed at the white house in 1993, the first agreement between israelis and palestinians, aimed at ending

no greater friend than israel. our a liiance has grown through successive president and bipartisan congress and the overwhelming support of the american people. it is an unbreakable bond based on common values and interests and shared destiny. and opportunity to shape that destiny together. and i would like to add one final point. as you conclude your presidency, i know you are are going to be busy with many, many things, much more are than improving what i hear is a terrific golf game, your voice, and your influential voice will be heard many decades and i know you will continue to support israel's right to defend itself and thrive as a jewish state. barak, you will always be a welcome guest in israel. and by the way, i don't play golf, but right next to my home in israel, is a terrific golf course. >> we'll have. thank you. thank you so much. >> it's good to welcome prime minister netanyahu and his delegation here and i want to start by just sending a message that all of the american people, my entire administrat

i'll talk about israel, for example. jordan has a huge problem with refugees -- over a million refugees in jordan. so israel is transferring more water to jordan -- in a very dry area, of course. so water is an asset, and israel is helping jordan just by delivering this water. israel has established a field hospital in the golan heights where injured syrians can come and get treated -- no questions asked. and after they're treated, they can go back. so many international organizations are working -- the red cross, other governments. so everybody's trying to do what they can. it is a big problem. >> it's overwhelming. >> it's overwhelming. >> you're talking about working with germany now because there are so many -- germany seems to be getting all the refugees, or certainly a high number of them. so the programs in germany, can you talk about that? >> so, as we said before, we are an humanitarian organization. we don't deal with the political questions. we are just seeing that there is a crisis, and we would like to help

given israel's nuclear arsenal. we have stressed time and again the need to compel israel to join the treaty on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons and other treaties on weapons of mass destruction and to subject its nuclear installations to the oversight of the international atomic energy agency. syria stresses the right of state to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. we have always called for creating a wmd-free zone in the middle east. in fact, we have efficiently and responsibly eliminated all chemical weapons in syria in cooperation with the joint mission of the organizations for the prohibition of chemical weapons and the united nations. in this regard, syria reiterates its readiness to continue cooperation with the joint investigation mechanism, as well as to continue the syrian-relevant investigations in this regard. mr. president, we congratulate cuba and iran on reaching agreements to lift the embargo imposed on them, and we look forward to their implementation. we renew our call for removing

everyone in israel understands that it's bound to become a future border. the problem with the wall is it does not really follow the 1967 border. it cuts deep into palestinian territory and what would become the future palestinian state. >> took us on a tour to explain to us the thinking behind the building of these walls. >> the problem today between left and right is that security is mixed with politics. a guy from the neighborhood was sitting right here waiting for the bus and he was stabbed to death. and i can assure you that the one who stabbed him to death did not come from this arab neighborhood, he came from somewhere in the west bank or from the east bank. but the fact that he was stabbed by an arab or the people who live here, they couldn't care less if the arab is yellow, green, comes from africa. for them an arab is an arab. in september 2000 the palestinians started to shoot through the jewish neighborhoods, and the authorities had to protect the kindergarten over here, and they put up this wall put up by the neighborhood council. but neverthel

of our relationship to israel. we in effect tried to make israel the scapegoat for the problems in the middle east. and this weakened our relationships with israel a great deal and put a cloud on the total commitment that our people feel toward the israelis. there ought to be a clear, unequivocal commitment without change to israel. in the far east, i think we need to continue to be strong and i would certainly pursue the normalization of relationships with the people's republic of china. we opened up a great opportunity in l972, which has pretty well been frittered away under mr. ford, that ought to be a constant inclination toward friendship. but i would never let that friendship with the people's republic of china stand in the way of the preservation of the independence and freedom of the people on taiwan. ms. frederick: mr. frankel, a question for governor carter. mr. frankel: governor, we always seem in our elections, and maybe in between too, to argue about who can be tougher in the world. give or take a few
