Benjamin netanyahu and donald trump have blasted the outcome. What do you have think has been going on at the u. N. . Whats been going on is a wrecking operation by barack obama on his way out the door. He has bent most hostile president s towards one of our most important allies since any president since the founding of the modern state of israel. I think what he has done with this operation which was not engineered by a bunch of countries from new zealand to the middle east it was brought to us by this president , his desire to undercut bibi netanyahu. And they will be infinitely more afflicted by deand for further concessions and demands it give up territory that is vital to its security. It is the height of i shall responsibility. D its the height of irresponsiblability. I expect and hope that will be forthcoming. Reporter you place the blame on obama. You think obama did get involved since the intervention of trump . I think hes been involved all along. John kerry and Samantha Pow

Good morning, everyone. I want to welcome all of you to this discussion on russia and syria, implications for the United States and turkey. We have a great panel to discuss most recent turkish incident, the downing of the russian jet, as well as experts who can provide a broader perspective on u. S. Russia relations and see how that is going Going Forward how the relationship between the west and russia will evolve but in particular in the context of syria. As you know, russian intervention, military intervention, direct intervention in syria has complicated the dynamics on the ground. There were expectations this could perhaps lead to some contribution from russia to the fight against isis, but lets say that russia has been at the very least ambivalent about that. Not entirely clear what russia is doing in syria. It seems to be targeting the opposition against the assad regime so russia seems to be helping the assad regime and also doing some operations against isil, but well discuss
