to dismantle it. the cochair of the biden/harris campaign is coming up first. a braking exclusive from nbc news, in the last few minutes. donald trump will sit down withl a probation officer tomorrow. andrew wiseman will tell us what to expect. also today, four israeli hostages rescued and scores of t palestinians killed in the process. we will talk about where things go from here. s later, two loyalists installed on the house intelligence committee at the former president has. congressman jim hines is ranking member of that committee and my guest, and he has some thoughts. okay, so maybe you turn on your tv or you looked at your phone and you see some video or some article about the president of the united states traveling overseas. is giving speeches, he s meeting with foreign leaders, and it is one of those things that may feel very, very far away. in more ways that one, it might seem like something that doesn t warrant as much attention as the other issues may be
we re definitely within the red zone. and the door for diplomacy for sanctions is open, but it s not a big door and it won t be open indefinitely. and it s important i think that the united states understands this. secretary of state kerry said something very similar. and i think that we have a close and intimate dialogue with the united states about how to realize our common goal of preventing iran from acquiring those nuclear weapons. it s very clear that the administration wants to press hard, certainly secretary kerry does, but this coming from the white house as well. press hard on the israel/palestinian negotiations which have been dormant for years. the white house has been criticized, as was secretary clinton, frankly for not engaging enough. they didn t see very much traction there. is the prime minister open to a new approach? with the palestinians? i know you ll say, you need to have a peace partner and there s been criticism on all sides.
but is there time to reengage on that, which people in the region now really want to see? i think the criticism, actually frankly haven t heard about the president s inaction or secretary of state clinton s inaction to the peace process is not founded. they were quite active and at the end of the day, none of us succeeded in bringing t palestinians back to the negotiating table. they went unilaterally to the u.n. to achieve tefrt without peace. unilaterally recognized palestinian state and they embarked on a path of reconciliation with hamas recognized by the united states and the quartet as a terrorist organization, not helpful efforts on the part of the palestinian authority. yes, there is time. we are very interested in returning to negotiations. we ll say openly we re willing to negotiate today, not tomorrow, in washington, d.c., and ramallah in jerusalem.
