comments that the democratic party he repeated was anti-israel and anti-jewish, there s news on what may be the nail in the coffin for the president s middle east plan. after a single tweet overturned long-standing u.s. policy to recognize israel s authority over this region. check it out. it s highlighted in red. the united nations has rejected israel s occupation to the area since 1967. israel s prime minister is embracing there. benjamin netanyahu is fighting for his political life facing a tough reelection next month. president trump said that didn t play into his decision. it s not about benjamin netanyahu s reelection? no. i wouldn t even know about that. i have no idea. i hear he s doing okay. every president has said do that. i m the one that gets it done. we are fortunate to have andrea mitchel live for us in
and it s blatantly political by most accounts. there s no reason to do it now except for the fact that the election is on april 9th, and so far the president as is obvious, has done everything we can for his strong ally, netanyahu. netanyahu last night was saying thank you, you ve made history again, mr. president, thank you president trump, this is the best relationship israel has ever had, saying first you got the embassy moved from tel aviv to jerusalem, tacitly recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel. they ve closed the palestinian offices in washington and the palestinian offices in israel. and then the iran nuclear deal withdrawing from the nuclear deal against the advice of some of his national security advisers at the time, they re long gone, and our closest european allies.
jerusalem. it s great to see you. thank you for being with us. let me start we have a lot to talk about. the president s comments on the white house south lawn about israel and about, again, he s saying democrats are anti-jewish. i want to play that for you and get a sense as to how that s playing where you are. tech issue? we don t have it, but i summed it up for you. the president repeating they are anti-jewish and anti-israel. you ve been in the region for several days with pompeo. how is that rhetoric being received? this is the rhetoric of netanyahu. this is the rhetoric, certainly that the president and many republicans are seizing on. of course, congresswoman omar, all of that. and mike pompeo has been talking about rising anti-semitism in the u.s. and elsewhere. in europe it s become an
tweet, president trump online announces a major shift on israeli policy and gives a helping hand to benjamin netanyahu s reelection. all while the secretary of state suggests that god sent the president to save israel. there s one big thing they re not expecting from the special counsel, and that s coming from rudy guiliani. welcome rudy. president obama will take a break from private life to talk to the new class of democrats in congress. let s start with that big news about president trump, his foreign and domestic policy, and his big decision on the golan heights. the u.s. would become the first country ever to endorse israel, keeping land it captures in a war and then annexed. that could set a precedent for other countries as well. it appears to be a deeply political decision, both for netanyahu and president trump. in a sense they re kind of a
mirror image of each other. both controversial figures, both immeshed in deepening scandals. both with reelection top of mind. for netanyahu, that happens in two weeks, for president trump, 19 plus months. while that sounds like a long time away, politically it s right around the corner. israel, clearly a new favorite attack line to use on democrats. the democrats have very much proven to be anti-israel, there s no question about that. it s a disgrace. i don t know what s happened to them, but they are totally anti-israel, frankly i think they re anti-jewish. in fact, in an interview broadcasted on fox business news, president trump appeared to tie this decision to this reelection campaign. how? by linking it directly to another decision he called a campaign promise, moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. i fully understand why
