negotiated settlement. it will do away with barricades on gaza with a long-term commitment by gaza not to launch missiles. >> dana: andrea, that issue of a long-term situation or solving it quickly. hamas and netanyahu said we don't want a short-term solution. we want something more lasting. that would include something that both sides say they won't do. from your per speculative, you were talking earlier in morning about the timing of it. when you get a second term as a president, and second terms are usually filled with foreign policy. this is the first test of the second obama administration. >> andrea: right. a lot of people are looking at the timing and they are speculating. there is no proof of this. but they are speculating why after the enext? was there some kind of deal cut? i read on a blog by netanyahu. it will let you have peace and then i'll fight back after the election. i'll tell you, this has been going on for a long time. israel faced five wars to protect itself. every time it's won.
