moving the us embassy to jerusalem, recognising jerusalem, recognising jerusalem as the capital of israel. that in itself is a hugely controversial move. around the world and in the unlighted state itself. talking about president trump's relationship with the north korean leader. saying that he lowered the temperature. i think you will remember as much asi think you will remember as much as i do, the months where he held the world on knife edge in his twitter wall with kim jong earned, calling him little rocket man. the result of that, it's hard to see what has actually changed in the relationship with north korea. he also talked about the ongoing tensions with china, the tariff was, saying the president trump —— president trump is tough on china. he certainly is. then talking about a relationship with iran. tearing up the iran nuclear deal. i think with all of this, we can draw a single conclusion. what mike pompeo was really illustrating was the white house strategy of brinkmanship. that is something again that his supporters love. they have a strong man at the helm. president trump

but he takes this to jerusalem. and the real import of that is that it places israel yet again under president trump squarely in our domestic politics, which is not good for the united states and it is not good for israel. one of the things that's been so important historically about the u.s.-israel bond, based on shared interests and shared values, is that it has been bipartisan. it has been unshakeable from administration to administration. and by putting israel and all that entails, in the middle of a partisan, political convention, it violates that bipartisan trust, and puts israel in a vicarious position when an administration changes. democrats and republicans alike historically have supported israel's legitimacy and security and have been proud to do so. here we have israel effectively casting its lot with one political party in this country, which is not appropriate. >> i want to ask you about your comment of politics ending at the water's edge. if you're a foreign leader, haven't you taken the exact opposit

we paid for him to fly to jerusalem on u.s. government aircraft. i'm sure we paid for the suite of rooms that he's staying at at the king david hotel. that's where i stayed when i went on official travel to israel. and he's also politicizing the u.s./israel relationship in exactly the kind of ways that people who support israel always warn against. treating it as a partisan issue. using jerusalem literally as a backdrop to a speech at a political convention. and, again, you're talking about some of the most contested land in the world. you're talking about something that has been a source of conflict for decades, something that multiple administrations of both political parties have sought to secure israel by brokering peace, by helping enhance israel's security, not by looking at jerusalem as something that's just a political backdrop to a speech you give to a republican national convention. so, again, in the long run i don't think it's good for american foreign policy. i also don't think it's good for israel to be treated like a political backdro

they paid for him to go to jerusalem. so when you're on an official visit like that as secretary of state, there isn't any free time to do politics or to do your own personal business. you're there on the taxpayer's dime. so what he did is very problematic. >> also in his speech, he misstated these alleged achievements, nato, north korea, all of the things that he claimed pretty much have not been realized, iran. >> that's right. i mean, the speech itself, and again, he was speaking about official business that he has conducted in his role as secretary of state, working on these issues of nato, working on north korea, but to your point, andrea, he also exaggerated greatly the accomplishments of the trump administration. the trump administration has not had a coherent or comprehensive foreign policy. and there is a sense around the world, because of the trump administration's work and because of secretary pompeo's failures, that the united states is not a north star anymore on democracy, on human rights, on rooting out cor

his address from jerusalem during a diplomatic admission where he is using jerusalem, the old city, a as back drop for his speech. he is referring to the president's initiative to move the embassy in jerusalem. he is clearly mixing a diplomatic mission with a political speech taping in jerusalem. he could have taped it in the united states. the speech was probably written before he even left the united states and he did that in order to use that back drop. the old city of jerusalem, to win an election for the president. this is a violation, very clearly. so what happened? we filed a explain. i received a notice from the office of special counsel that they're investigating it. all they can do is conclude there is a violation. the president has to make a decision. is he going to tolerate violations like this? apparently donald trump has made that decision. he not only tolerates them. he encourages them. >> thank you for joining thus hour. >> thank you very much. >> next, i'm going to talk to a former trumper. to a former trumper you can get a pais that helps you master your backhand...

that jerusalem is the capital for israel this is something that many palestinians have denounced especially when the u.s. has decided to recognize truth to them and has moved its embassy and for many palestinians in the street they would tell you that they've lost faith a long time ago in the arab regimes of the out of brewers that they are going to be helping them on the contrary they feel that they've been left out alone by these regimes but they still believe that the our nation is for them it's important to note that many here fear that other are of an islamic states my. speaking at a white house briefing president trump said palestinians will eventually seek peace when more countries make deals with israel. i think the palestinians will without saying it necessarily i think they very much want to be a part of what we're doing and i see ultimately the palestinians see peace between israel and the palestinians as i see that happening i think as these very big powerful wealthy countries come in i think the palestinians will follow. joins us live now from washington d.c. she helps 100 port
