to be an international peace conference in paris israel has said it will not attend. that resolution is israel s greatest concern right now. yet prime minister netanyahu very much not afraid to lash out at president barack obama and secretary of state john kerry. he blames them pretty much directly for this resolution saying he colluded on drafting it and getting it through. those are accusations that israel that the u.s. and even the palestinians deny. netanyahu summoned not only the u.s. ambassador but ten other ambassadors from countries that voted for this resolution but the other countries met with the foreign minister. it was specifically the u.s. ambassador to israel, president obama pointappointee, who met privately with netanyahu. netanyahu expressing his anger in that meeting, as he has so many other times in the course of the last couple days, leaving no doubt he s done working with president obama and is very much looking forward to working with president-elect trump. as
publicly, the israeli government has been very tough on settlements. the u.s. government has tried to keep this dispute private. the difference here is the obama administration has decided to show the world the frustration presidents reagan, carter and the first bush had with israel. that s what makes this unprecedented. the policy of being against settlements is actually not new for the united states government. it s just now very public and there may be a personal element to it in the fact that president obama s leaving office and he wants the united states effort to be an honest brokering in israel and in the middle east to be one of his legacies. he s tried and he s failed. i doubt that trump is going to be very private about some of these things in light of the fact he does like to tweet, and trump s choice for israel s ambassador really very much more aligned with netanyahu s policies and values. what does it say about his views on the u.n. where we might have
israel. this is just some of the fallout after the u.n. security council voted 14-0 to condemn israel s settlements in the west bank. netanyahu now is accusing the obama administration of coordinating that vote while the u.s. says it had no role in proposing or drafting the resolution. want to bring in cnn s oren lieberman from jerusalem. israel is now voicing new concerns this morning. why don t you lay that out for us and tell us where we are going with this this morning? reporter: the new concern is that there could be another u.n. security council resolution, one that would try to lay out parameters or conditions for negotiation between israelis and palestinians, trying to move forward the process on discussion of some of the most sensitive complex issues, borders, how to look at jerusalem, palestinian refugees. israel is absolutely against this but fear it may happen ooi either in the next week or sometime in the first two weeks of 2017 when there is supposed
a relationship, significantly different relationship with the united nations? well, i think you are going to see that. nikki haley will go in there, she s a young aggressive person. i think you will have a pro-israel standpoint like so many in this country have had, but to me this was a parting shot from the obama administration against the state of israel. we know we have had a special relationship with israel for decades and i think you are going to see donald trump as a pragmatist take a much different approach in trying to he said, the quote was direct negotiation between the parties. i think you will see a businessman s approach, sit down with parties on both sides and try to come up with some type of an agreement that we can live by and move forward, but you are going to see a friend in donald trump to the state of israel. another question here. president obama s time obviously up in office, almost over. trump has said he s going to establish peace but the choice
i m going to stand with netanyahu and come hell or high water, that s going to be what we do. that is not in keeping with israeli public opinion, not in keeping with u.s. public opinion and not in keeping with what generations of not only american but israeli administrations have done. you have got to remember, everybody from ohmert to sharon dismantled settlements. this is not something that s really up for a lot of discussion about whether we should have them or not. the israeli supreme court has ruled that many of them are illegal. trump is going to find a much more nuanced position i m pretty sure the minute after he takes office. all right. we will see how nuance fits the next president, donald trump. appreciate that. thank you so much. happy holidays. still to come, the democrats lost the white house. president obama is confident his vision is what the american economy needs. the democratic agenda is
