should cease building settlements. —— mr netanyahu. are building settlements. —— mr neta nyahu. are you building settlements. —— mr netanyahu. are you saying that behind—the—scenes things are more fluid? i was not in the meeting and interestingly they decided not to have a press conference afterwards, they just put have a press conference afterwards, theyjust put out a statement which is kind of unusual. i think a sign that neither of them wanted to face awkward questions. a spokeswoman for theresa may said the objection to settle m e nts theresa may said the objection to settlements was that they undermine trust, the reality is there is no trust, the reality is there is no trust between the israelis and palestinians on these particular issues. and there is a pretty strong international consensus that the growth of settlements is doing more than anything else to reduce the chances of the so—called two state solution. palestinian state alongside israel. now of course they wa nt alongside israel. now of course they want the

mr. netanyahu: you asked about iran. one thing is preventing iran from getting nuclear weapons, something that president trump and i, i think are deeply committed to do. and we are obviously going to discuss that. i think beyond that, president trump has led a very important effort in the past few weeks just coming into the presidency, he pointed out their violations, the iranian violations on ballistic missile tests. by the way, these ballistic missiles are inscribed in hebrew , israel must be destroyed. said, our ballistic missiles are not intended against any country. they write on the missiles in hebrew, israel must be destroyed. so, challenging iran on its violations of ballistic missiles, imposing sanctions on hezbollah, making them pay for the terrorism that they foment a threat the middle east and beyond, well beyond. i think that is a change and that is clearly evident since president trump took office. i welcome that. let me say this very openly, i think it is long overdue. and i think that if we work together,

mr netanyahu his mind quite quickly and readily. mr neta nyahu may his mind quite quickly and readily. mr netanyahu may think they are best pals at the moment, but that is not necessarily going to last if israel says no to some of those compromises mrtrump wants to says no to some of those compromises mr trump wants to make. johnny dymond is in jerusalem. mr trump wants to make. johnny dymond is injerusalem. that was an interesting point that benjamin netanyahu made. that there could be the opportunity for a wider deal encompassing sunni states in the region who are worried about the threat from iran. can you flesh that out? there is a lot of talk about this. and it's clear there are feelers being put out. it's very clear that there has been some strategic and intelligence cooperation between israel and, in particular, the gulf states. to leap from that to the idea that there could be a deal on the palestinians thatis could be a deal on the palestinians that is somehow brokered or agreed by the states that surround israel or that ar

what mr netanyahu has been written forward to... he had a number of visits to washington during the obama years and they were always frosty, the men never got on. no doubt personal issues, but also because of policy things. president obama never approved of mr netanyahu's obama never approved of mr neta nyahu's policies of obama never approved of mr netanyahu's policies of encouraging settle m e nt netanyahu's policies of encouraging settlement growth and a hard line towards the palestinians. mr trump did say, you might have to ease back on the settlements of it.|j did say, you might have to ease back on the settlements of it. i don't think mr netanyahu or the israeli right will enjoy hearing that, because initially they thought they would get a blank cheque from president trump. in the first days after his inauguration, the authorised, with the netanyahu, six and a half thousand units in the occupied territories. and the first all—new settlement in a generation. even the white house said to him, calm down a bit, and that is what

when mr and mrs netanyahu arrived at the white house there seemed to be real warmth. the israeli prime minister certainly hopes so. he had a sour relationship with barack 0bama and wants this visit to be a new start. before he was elected president, mr trump seemed ready to give israel a blank cheque on the palestinians. mr netanyahu authorised thousands more homes forjews in the occupied territories in defiance of international law within days of mr trump's inauguration. but now he's in the white house, the president has changed his tune. he sees himself as america's greatest deal—maker and seems to believe he can make the deal between israel and the palestinians that evaded the last four american presidents. but that, he said, means give and take. as far as settlements, i'd like to see you hold back on settlements for a little bit. we'll work something out. but i would like to see a deal being made. i think a deal will be made. as with any successful negotiation, both sides will have to make compromises. you know that, right? both sides. but in a middle east that

but the fact is, mr netanyahu difficult. but the fact is, mr neta nyahu is difficult. but the fact is, mr netanyahu is on record saying he supports the two state solution. but without going into a great deal of detail about what that would be, what the palestinian state would be and what the borders would be. but the fact is the actions that he ta kes, the fact is the actions that he takes, i think it is quite clear, there are designed to stop that happening or at least put it back so far down the road that it does not happen. he's not just far down the road that it does not happen. he's notjust a paragon of the right wing in israel but opposes that kind of thing anyway, he's under a lot of pressure on his right to try to be tougher on the palestinians of. so i think the policy for many years has been just to try to kick the can down the road and paper time. he also wants to be tough on the iranians are to their ballistic missile test a few days ago. donald trump said the iranians are on notice, it is not clear exactly what that means. but netanyahu exactly what that m

jeremy: when mr. and mrs. netanyahu arrived, there seemed to be real warmth. the israeli prime minister hope so. he had a sour relationship with president obama and wants this to be a new start. before he was elected, mr. trump seemed ready to give israel a blank check on the palestinians. netanyahu built thousands of settlements in defiance of international law of mr. trump's inauguration. now in the white house, the his tune.has changed he sees himself as america's greatest dealmaker, and seems to believe he could make the deal between israel and the palestinians that evaded the last 4 american presidents. that he says is give and take. pres. trump: i would like to see you hold back on settlements for a little bit. we will work something out, but i would like to see a deal be made. i think a deal will be made. as with any successful negotiation, both sides will have to make compromises, you know that, right? jeremy: in a middle east that is often chaotic, mr. netanyahu sees opportunities. pm netanyahu: for the first time in my lifetime and in the life of my

publicly today she made it clear in the commons that she was adamant to mr netanyahu, that they should cease building settlements. are you saying that behind the scenes, things are more fluid?|j don't scenes, things are more fluid?” don't know, i was not in the meeting but interestingly they decided not to have a press conference afterwards, they just to have a press conference afterwards, theyjust put out a statement. that's quite unusual for this kind of meeting and a sign that there are awkward questions that neither of them wanted to face. mrs may's spokeswoman said that their objection to settlements undermined the trust. there is a pretty strong international consensus that the growth of settlements is doing more than anything else to reduce the chances of the so—called two state solution, a palestinian state alongside israel but now, of course, they want visitors to go well and britain need more training partners because brexit trading partners. you can see why they wanted it to go well and perhaps they did not really speak out particularly loudly about these things. but, th

by mr. netanyahu will be here this weekend. do we expect anything? obviously it will be a more comfortable meeting than the meetings with barack obama, but will there be any policy implications? leader hethe world feels closest to, jared kushner has known the israeli prime ministers since he was a child and has come to trump tower himself. we know jenna fischer is having dinner with rex tillerson tonight. what i have been hearing is they want it to be on iran and the discussion of moving the embassy, while it has not been taken off the table, moving it from tel aviv to jerusalem, it has been put on the back burner until donald trump, as president, not just as candidate , wants to assess the viability of some sort of deal in the middle east. the challenges while you have had all of this high level come a very warm contact with the israelis, there's been a none with the palestinians. if you want negotiations, you have to get both sides talking. david: but there has been a lot arabsitive contact with countries. king abdullah came to washington and after

many expect mr. netanyahu to push for american support to block the iran nuclear deal. is there a real fear in tehran ahead of this meeting, or does iran believe this is just about optics? >> no, absolutely. there is certainly a fear here in iran that the nuclear agreement is in jeopardy. and you can see that in the statements of iranian firms. the head of iran's atomic energy agency, saying all the rhetoric from the trump administration shows how good the deal is. of course there's backlash in iran as by some of the hardliners against that nuclear agreement. so there are some to think the deal is in jeopardy. there are many people who are not happy with that agreement, but there's very few people who want to get rid of it. some of the things they've been hearing out of the trump administration, and then also of course out of the netanyahu administration as well, saying, look, we want to ged rt rid of nuclear agreement. donald trump saying he believes it's a very bad deal. that's something that concerns a lot of people. it's interesting, because i spoke to a top iranian

in the first couple of days after the inauguration, mr netanyahu approved 6500 new settlements forjews, new homes forjews, in the settlement, i should say, and in a news conference president trump is saying, hang on, i want you to hold hard on settlements, there has to be a deal with concessions. netanyahu was a bit taken aback, i thought, and said, well, concessions from both sides. the reported constant contact between key trump aides and russian officials during the election campaign is a burgeoning scandal with the potential to shake most politicians to their core. but donald trump is not most politicians. john sweeney has been wondering whether the teflon candidate might be turning into a teflon president. i think it is very, very unfair what has happened to general flynn, the way he was treated and the documents and papers that were illegally — i stress that, illegally leaked. very, very unfair. president trump today mourned the loss of his national security adviser of 2a days. the man who, according to reports, he sacked in a flash. when he ran for office, they called him the

with benjamin neta nyahu and that press conference with benjamin netanyahu and mr trump. president trump was essentially saying he believes michael flynn has been treated shabbily, particularly by the security agencies, and by the press. he neglected to mention he forced him to resign. but he believes he has been treated very badly indeed. what are your thoughts? it's interesting that president trump continues to attack the press and the intelligence organisations rather than responding to the very, very serious allegation that seems to be more and more confirmed by facts that our revealed day by day, that he and his team have unusual, if not highly troubling connections with russian intelligence. of course, that fits into a largerfact intelligence. of course, that fits into a larger fact pattern, that sta rts into a larger fact pattern, that starts with our knowledge that the russians intervened in our elections to influence it on donald trump's behalf, to help them win the election, or try behalf, to help them win the election, or know -’;* behalf, to help them win th

netanyahu. they met in the oval office looking for a more comfortable relationship after eight years of an icy relationship with president obama. trump stepped away from years of u.s. policy the two state prescription for peace. >> i'm looking at two state and one state. i like the one both parties like. i'm very happy with the parties like. i thought for a while two state looked like the easier of the two. if b.b. and the palestinians are happy, i'm happy with the one they like the best. >> trump and netanyahu released a statement condemning the nuclear iran deal calling it a terrible deal for the world. tonight netanyahu met with speaker paul ryan. >> andrew puzder withdrew his nomination as secretary of labor. he has been the focus of controversy over his relationship with his employees, divorce and failure to pay taxes on a housekeeper. >> tomorrow, a day without immigrants, protests are planned across the country. philadelphia expected to be a hot bed. they are expected to skip class, not g

with mr. trump, mr. netanyahu is very popular in the republican party. in my polls actually, he's up there with ronald regan as one of the most popular leaders in the world, especially among the evangelical right. they both score points at home. obviously, they also score points on some issues that we knew they would score points on. for example, the stated american support for israeli security. the fight on terrorism. the iran issue. those are wrooshz there isn't much difference asht least rhetorically. and those obviously are the ones that register. but then, of course, we turn to the more central question where there will be inevitably some disagreements the israel and pal stinnian question. >> sreenivasan: tamarawittes, i want to get to you on that. the one-state, two-state. the president has always been committed to a peaceful resolution to this, but why is the president's announcement today so important? >> well, look, i think it's always been the american position enuncated previously by the u.s. presidents that we can't want peace more than the p

netanyahu support aid two state solution. but with trump at the helm, palestinians aren't hopeful. >> i think the plan of mr. netanyahu, and lieberman is only one plan, and the palestinian occupied territories, killing the opportunity for two state solution, practically killing peace for a very long time. >> reporter: briefing reporters last night the white house said they wanted to kick start a peace process but wouldn't commit to pushing a two state solution. saying maybe, maybe not. that's not for us to decide. >> a little delay. i wanted to ask a quick question. what are we expecting to see at the white house later today? >> we'll see both leaders hold a press conference at noon. taking questions. diane, all smiles. aide have said there will be no day light between the two. whether that is actually the case or not, that is certainly the image they will give to the world today. diane. >> forget what i said about sean spicer's press being the thing today. that press conference. >> everyone will be watching this. >> curious

when mrand mrs when mr and mrs netanyahu arrived at the white house there seemed to be real warmth. binyamin netanyahu hopes so. he had a sour relationship with barack hopes so. he had a sour relationship with ba rack obama hopes so. he had a sour relationship with barack obama and wants this visit to be a new start. before he was elected president, mrtrump seemed ready to give israel a blank cheque on the palestinians. binyamin netanyahu cheque on the palestinians. binyamin neta nyahu authorised thousands cheque on the palestinians. binyamin netanyahu authorised thousands more homes forjews in the occupied territories in defiance of international law within days of mrtrump‘s inauguration. but now he is in the white house the president has changed his tune. he sees himself as america's greatest deal—maker and seems to believe he can make the deal between israel and the palestinians that evaded the last four american presidents. but that, he said, means give and take. as far as settlements, i'd like to see you hold back on settlements for a little bit. we'll work something out. b

has been trump supportive of mr. netanyahu in the past but his statements recently have raised questions about how the relationship good develop your -- could develop. jeremy bowen sends us this report. jeremy: land -- sharing it, splitting it, keeping it, is at the heart of the conflict between israel and the palestinians. the hilltops in the northern west bank have been taken for jewish settlements. some have been built on land owned by an olive farmer. a new israeli law legalizes the settlements built on privately owned palestinian land in return for compensation. for palestinians, it is a land grab. >> we will never take compensation. our land is not for sale. compensation means selling to settlers and we will never do that. jeremy: the new law is controversial. the israeli president says it makes israel look wrongly as if it is an apartheid state. the chief palestinian negotiator says that is what it is already. >> they do not believe in a two-state solution, and they do not believe in in a secular state where j

netanyahu replied with a reference to mr. trump's book, "the art of the deal," and the two men had a warm relationship and talked about their long friendship, and this is really in stark contrast to the strained relations that netanyahu had with president obama. but, scott, palestinians say they have not had this same warm embrace. their leader met secretly with the cia director yesterday for the first time. >>> president trump's choice for labor secretary created a job today for someone else. andrew puzder withdrew. >> i think it's a great, great choice. >> reporter: the senate's republican leader was praising puzder as recently as yesterday, but today mitch mcconnell warned the white house that opposition from several republicans like maine's susan collins, was likely to doom the nomination. >> you want the person who would be the secretary of labor to have a very good record when it comes to following the laws that he would be in charge of enforcing. >> reporter: puzder paid an undocumented household maid in cash for years

mr. netanyahu was sort of nonresponsive by way of hans. how important are those settlements, in terms of mr. netanyahu says, he does not believe they are the impediment to peace, that they are a symbol of something that is an impediment to peace. explain that to us form there is many, many other issues that settlements. if you put them all together, you can negotiate, but if you just cherry pick settlements and say all the onus is on israel, of course you cannot move forward. there's 700,000 who live there in the settlements. they have life going on, legalized and authorized by successful governments. i hope there will be a deal. i think also foes and friends alike, when they see there's no daylight between israel and the united states, they think the incentive for mischief on our enemies will go down and israel will be more confident to make concessions. >> mr. ambassador, thank you for joins us. >> my pleasure. >>> more alarming news about our nation's highways. if you'd rather take the train instead of driving, the head of amtrak will b

netanyahu but the president's ideas are certainly new and may be novel. a big proponent of the two state solution, democrat from vermont. good to see you. what's wrong with what the president has to say today? >> two things. it's good to see that they are getting along. israel is a strong ally of the united states. president obama and that the congress, republicans and democrats supported a a 38 billion-dollar aid pack. a two state solution to a one state solution, what does that really mean? the whole point of the two state solution is acknowledging an israeli and palestinian state living side-by-side. our commitment to the jewish democratic state and it is just going to live in peace with secure borders, it has palestinians that have their own aspirations for their own state. a two state solution's promise is that there will be security for israel. if you have a one state solution, what will happen is it throws into question the jewish and democratic tradition of that great state of israel. >> ed: the premise you just said about security for israel does

eight years of difficult relationships with president obama and now mr. netanyahu feels he has a friend in washington and is going to get a different reception. optics are important to menj min netanyahu. how much is he wants the world to see that new administration greeting him warmly? >> extremely important. he takes a lot of pride. he is only the fourth visitor to the new washington after traditional american allies like britain, canada and japan. he felt he was marginalized and he is suddenly a very wanted visitor. the symbolism is critical for him and also for trump who campaigned on a reset with israel as well. here the message is the music. it's a new tone. and despite that in the obama years, there was close security relations and many ways unprecedented. there is no hiding the bruising policy disagreements that existed between washington and jerusalem over iran and differences over the palestinian issue. >> this is the reality that benjamin netanyahu heads up a very right wing government and a lot of members say no two-state solution ever. donald

, and whether mr netanyahu really have the power to force through the peace process. his coalition partners are zionist and well to the right, they don't like the idea of a two—state solution at all? i think one of the reasons that the prime minister was relu cta nt, reasons that the prime minister was reluctant, as he put it, to use the label. he said he didn't want to use the label. he described the conditions he laid out in his speech in 2009, the spring of 2009, where he accepted a palestinian state, that he had a series of conditions related to it which he thought made it possible for israel to live with it. he repeated those conditions without using the label. why did he not use the label? because the head of the jewish home party in the coalition is dead set against a two—state outcome. he was putting enormous pressure on the prime minister to come out and drop the commitment to a two—state outcome. there is no doubt there is pressure from within the israeli government not to accept the two state outcome. think through what you heard from president trump.

my right honorable friend is meeting with mr. netanyahu. is the only way to get a lasting peace settlement for young palestinians and israelis to look forward to a sharing, prosperous life -- does she agree that the only way to achieve this is face-to-face negotiations, and will she join the israeli prime minister in pressing the prime minister of the palestinian authorities for faced paced negotiation's? -- face-to-face negotiations? pm may: my honorable friend makes an important point. --continue is a government as a government to believe the two state solution is the right one. that means a viable palestinian state, but also a safe and secure israel. -- there are is others on the international arena who are doing their work to facilitate an agreement in the middle east, but ultimately, it is the two parties who agree. speaker: order.

the two state solution has long been a pillar of the middle eas peace process, but mr. trump says he can live with a one state or two state solution and the president appeared to startle netanyahu when he dropped a bit of a bombshell, to stop construction of settlements. andrew puzder has withdrawn his nomination, because of his stance on labor issues and the fact that he employed an undocumented housekeeper. it was republicans who sealed his fate, telling the white house that andrew puzder did not have a viable pact. >> ed: president trump has been in office for less than four weeks, they claim the white house is already in crisis mode. tonight, a democratic congressman is actually talking about removing donald trump from office. then there is the dnc. senior advisor is charging the trump russia connection as bigger than watergate. you seem to be a calm, reasonable guy. but why the hysterical charge on date 26? this is bigger than watergate. >> i do not think it is hysterical. let's talk about this. we know that a foreign government has interjected itself in the govern

that's why you saw the first lady with the first lady of israel, mrs. netanyahu, to show the similarities of the struggles, with the black community and the jewish community. and that's why i thought it was important today, on john lewis's birthday, to go to this museum and emphatically denounce bigotry and antismetism once and for all from his mouth. where the president goes matters, and what he says matters, on this issue, he has been very, very certain and stid fast in his comments today which i think should be applauded. so, as we move forward, i hope president trump continues on his efforts to you know pie thunify and to affect the black community and all communities. fragile communities need leadership, and they need this president to make things better. >> do you see, van, efforts to unify the country? >> look, i think that donald trump has a problem. and i don't know if he's really thought it all the way through. i hope that he does. donald trump's campaign was conducted in such a way that anti-jewish bigots, who i'm sure he would not want to be

netanyahu, who's already on record saying we ought to go back to sanctions. so i think they're trying to thread a lot of needles through, and i think they're going to have to figure out what they really want to do. and there's no question that great powers can't bluff. so we've got to be a little careful when we're putting them on probation or whatever we're trying to do. >> is it clear to you who in the administration is sort of the point on this? obviously, donald trump is president. but we heard general flynn's remarks. now rex tillerson is sworn in. is this something he will be handling. >> i think so. it will depend on what the nuance of the issue is. and let's remember here what you were talking about the difference between the white house response and the state department response that is much more measured. historically speaking, the state department, no matter who is president is sort of that way. i mean -- >> the language. >> the language, the tale of ronald reagan's famous "tear down this wall." the state department until the last minute was saying

my right honourable friend's meeting with mr netanyahu honourable friend's meeting with mr neta nyahu this week. honourable friend's meeting with mr netanyahu this week. did she press the only way to get a lasting peace settle m e nt the only way to get a lasting peace settlement is for young palestinian janes and israelis to look forward toajob, a janes and israelis to look forward to a job, a share in prosperity and a life without fear. does she agree the only way to achieve this is face—to—face negotiations? will she join the israeli prime minister in pressing the prime minister of palestinian authorities for face—to—face negotiations? palestinian authorities for face-to-face negotiations? my right honourable friend makes a very important point about this. we continue, as a conservative government in the uk, to believe there's two state solution is the right one. that means a viable palestinian state but also a safe and secure israel. of course, it is for the parties to negotiate. there are others on the international arena who are doing their work to facilitate an agreemen

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 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 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

al: the middle east, whether it is mr. netanyahu that arrives this week whether it's israel or , tehran, you have a wide range of reactions. for the iranians they worry, they knew general flynn left. general mattis came in with a very tough approach for the iranians because he had been in iraq when iran was making the ied's that killed many of our marines. they know this group of national security people are on to the iranians and will take a tougher line. for israel, huge confusion because trump came in saying i'm moving the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and it didn't happen. i'm with you and then suddenly the settlements are not such a good idea. when bibi could run out against obama he could count on all , republicans defending him, but what happens if a republican administration starts talking like obama? al: he does not want to go back to the days of jim baker. it is kind of handy for him to have a villain as far as domestic politics. thomas: he loves having obama could go to the cabinet and people on the right a

you look at what mr. netanyahu has talked about, he welcomes this administration and appreciates the friendship and respect he is shown to israel and the jewish people. but just suggest otherwise, john, frankly, i got to be honest, the president went out of his way to recognize the holocaust. and the suffering that went through it and the people affected by the loss of life. and make sure america never forgets. was so many people went through, whether they were jews or gypsies, gays, disability. spicer who issean the white house press secretary defending not referring specifically to jews on holocaust remembrance day andrea pitzer. said he went out of his way. i don't think he went out of his way. residents have in issuing these proclamations before. it is not some new effort made. the second thing, i think the language that was used -- and it was something very close to ensure that the forces of evil never again defeat the powers of good. that goes back to what i was saying before, this idea of stripping
