prime minister benjamin netanyahu. president obama saying he's going to quote, reassess the american relationship with israel. this is a huge development in what has been one of america's closest allegiances in the world. this is the first time that the two men have spoken since netanyahu won the israeli election on tuesday night. jim acosta begins our coverage "outfront" from the white house tonight. and jim, ordinarily this kind of phone call comes very quickly and it's a simple congratulations. this one wasn't quick and it certainly wasn't a friendly congratulatory call. >> #awkward erin. the white house says the president congratulated president netanyahu on his election victory in a phone call today, but there was more to this conversation than just small talk. this was a call with consequences. >> reporter: speaking for the first time since israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's re-election win, the president made it clear that relations between these longtime allies may be about to change. the white house officials said the president told the prime minister that we will need to reassess our options, following the prime minister's new positions and comments regarding the two-state solution. administration officials say they're furious over netanyahu's remarks in the final moments of his re-election campaign pointing to the prime minister's rejection of a palestinian state in this interview, as a key reversal that would damage prospects for middle east peace. asked whether if palestinian state would not be formed if he remains prime minister, netanyahu said, indeed. >> was the president personally disappointed in prime minister netanyahu's comments? >> i would certainly acknowledge that the president is aware of the comments and noticed them. i don't think i would characterize his reaction but i think that the -- there are obvious policy implications. >> reporter: in a post-election interview, netanyahu completely flip-flopped saying he now wants a peaceful two-state solution with palestinians. but the white house is also outraged over netanyahu's comment that arab voters were heading to the polls in droves a remark aides to the president blasted as racially tinged and undemocratic. >> that cynical election day tactic was a pretty transparent effort to marginalize arab israeli citizens. >> reporter: netanyahu insists that israelis will always have the right to vote but they're not buying that at the white house, where officials are threatening to allow votes at the united nations in favor of a palestinian state, a measure the u.s. has blocked before. republicans who invited netanyahu to speak before congress against the u.s. nuclear talks with iran are saying, get over it. >> what about the administration's sort of lukewarm reaction -- >> lukewarm? ha-ha ha-ha! >> the obama administration and benjamin netanyahu need to wake up and understand the realities of what they can and cannot achieve and try to restore some adult supervision. >> a white house official says the president also discussed netanyahu's comments about arab israelis. the president's posture at this point is that it matters much more what the prime minister said right before the election than how he's cleaning it up now. erin? >> interesting point. thank you very much, jim acosta. "outfront" tonight, the former israeli ambassador to the united nations, dory gold. he's now senior foreign policy adviser to the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. thank you very much for being with us. i really appreciate it. and i want to get straight to it. president obama today finally called prime minister netanyahu to congratulate him on his victory, a day and a half after that victory. look we all know at this point, the relationship between the two men is not great. america gives about $3 billion in military aid a year to israel more than any other country in the world. is prime minister netanyahu going to do something specific to fix the relationship? >> well, i think we over-personalize these relationships many times, and that's understandable. having been in the front lines of diplomacy, i can tell you that prime minister netanyahu is reflecting the interests of the state of israel as president obama reflects the interests of the united states. and i think what this election was about, the election was essentially a mandate for the positions that prime minister netanyahu has taken on iran on a united jerusalem, and on having israel with defensible borders, not the 1967 lines. and these are the positions that the prime minister will try, i'm sure in the future to explain to president obama, and they will have to work together. and i believe they will work together because the u.s. and israel need each other. >> so, when you talk about a mandate for certain positions for the prime minister obviously, from the united states' perspective, one thing the united states' government has believed in is a two-state solution where the palestinians would have a country and israel would, of course. on monday the prime minister said there would never be a palestinian state under his watch, when he was asked by the israeli news site nrg. today, though he said something different. he said and i'll quote him directly ambassador he said,on want a one-state solution i want a sustainable, peaceful two-state solution. so my question to you, as his foreign policy adviser is did he make that comment monday saying there would be no two-state solution under his watch, just to win the election or was he actually saying what he really believes? >> well i know i saw nbc news was playing this off, that somehow his position changed in the last 24 hours. what the prime minister is saying is that he still maintains his policy of two states for two people as he has said before. but he's saying that there won't be a palestinian state today. and that's used in the actual hebrew language of his statement. and the reason he's saying that is because today the middle east is far more dangerous. we have the moves of isis all across syria and iraq. we have the movements of foul iranian surrogates like revolution air revolutionary guard forces even getting close to the kingdom of jordan. so israel will need very strong robust security defenses in any arrangement. i think that was pray may recall on his mind when he made his statement. >> but when you say it wasn't a change in policy obviously, in washington that's not how it was seen. two top obama administration spokesman today, at the state department and the white house, specifically said that the prime minister has changed his policy on a two-state solution and here they are. >> we believe he changed his position. >> it is clear that he indicated a lack of commitment to this policy. >> that was josh earnest, of course the president's spokesman, talking about the policy again, of a palestinian state. look the u.s. government clearly doesn't believe the prime minister plans to work towards a two-state solution right now. >> well you know, people like secretary of state john kerry worked day in and day out with prime minister netanyahu and saw how committed he was to working out a solution with the palestinians that left israel with a secure border and not a full withdrawal. and secretary kerry actually put forward a paper called a framework agreement, which prime minister netanyahu agreed to. it was mahmoud abbas in march of 2014 who refused the kerry plan when it was presented to him by president obama in the oval office. so the fact is israel has gone along with this the palestinians said no. but i'm not sure the spokesman that you showed on television are fully aware of all those details. >> look it was a state department spokesman and of course the president's spokesperson himself. you know and what they were saying ambassador reflects what the executive director of the u.s. campaign to end the israeli occupation obviously you know what his point of view is wrote in an op-ed in "the new york times" today. he wrote, "i as a palestinian breathed a sigh of relief when it became clear that netanyahu's likud party had won. there won't be real change on the ground or at the polls without further pressure on israel and now that pressure will increase. for this we have mr. netanyahu to thank." isn't there something to be said for that that now, all of a sudden instead of the talks being about iran it's about a two-state solution and there is going to be a lot of pressure on him, on you, to move on it? >> you know why didn't this palestinian spokesman, indeed many of the pundits who are talking about israel say anything when mahmoud abbas, the palestinian leader made a pact with hamas, an organization that calls for our destruction? so we're supposed to bend over backwards for the palestinian leadership when the palestinians ahead of time have already locked arms with an organization that calls for eliminating israel. so we are for making peace. we are for a change in the situation. but we have -- it has to be a safe peace, it has to be a secure peace, and the palestinians have to go the extra mile and accept the proposals that israel already accepted. >> all right. well thank you very much, ambassador gold. we appreciate your time tonight, sir. >> sure. and "outfront" next breaking news. a black man found hanging from a tree if then the woods behind his home. the fbi and the department of justice are investigating tonight. we have a full report just ahead. plus a black college student, his head slammed into the ground during an arrest. was this excessive force? he speaks out to cnn. and isis claiming credit for the attack that gunned down 20 tourists at a museum. are attacks on tourists the newest tactic for isis? meet the world's newest energy superpower. surprised? in fact, america is now the world's number one natural gas producer... and we could soon become number one in oil. because hydraulic fracturing technology is safely recovering lots more oil and natural gas. supporting millions of new jobs. billions in tax revenue... and a new century of american energy security. the new energy superpower? it's red, white and blue. log on to learn more. 80% of the poor in africa are rural farmers. 96% of them are doing rain-fed agriculture. they're all competing with each other; they're all making very low margins making enough to survive but not enough to get out of poverty. so kickstart designs low cost irrigation pumps enabling them to grow high value crops throughout the year so you can make a lot of money. it's all very well to have a whole lot of small innovations but unless we can scale it up enough to where we are talking about millions of farmers, we're not going to solve their biggest challenge. this is precisely where the kind of finance that citi is giving us is enabling us to scale up on a much more rapid pace. when we talk to the farmers and ask them what's the most important thing. first of all they say we can feed our families. secondly, we can send our children to school. it's really that first step that allows them to get out of poverty and most importantly have money left over to plan for the future they want. breaking news now, the justice department and fbi are investigating the case of a black man found hanging from a tree in mississippi. a law enforcement official tells cnn that man is believed to be 54-year-old otis bird. you see his picture there. police found him earlier today, about a half a mile from his home. bird had been missing from march 2nd. a friend on that date dropped him off at a nearby casino. the sheriff of claiborne county has just spoken about this moments before and here's what he said. >> we got down there and we seen a man that had some bedsheets tied around his neck. >> was there a bag found over the head? >> it was a -- on his head. >> justice correspondent evan perez outfront. you just heard the sheriff of claiborne county saying he was found with bedsheets from his head. what are sources telling you at this time? >> the authorities down there are not yet identifying the name of the victim there who was found in those deep woods behind his last residence, but we're told it's otis bird 54 years old, who was found, who was reported missing by his family earlier this month. and so that is something now that tests are being done to confirm that it is indeed him. the body, we are told was somewhat decomposed so it's not something that could have been done easily on sight. this is obviously raising a lot of questions down there. this is southern mississippi, near the louisiana border. an area with a history of violence going back some decades, so it is something that is raising questions and the fbi, civil rights division sorry, civil rights investigators are on the scene, as well as the civil rights division from the justice department and the u.s. attorneys down there in southern mississippi are all investigating this for -- to make sure that -- to determine what exactly happened. now, they haven't ruled out whether it is a suicide or whether it is a murder so that is again, part of the investigation. >> right, and they're trying to determine whether it was suicide or murder. and of course when you hear about a murder in this way of a black man, you're talking about mississippi, people think about whether this could be something horrific like a lynching. what more do you know at this time about otis bird who he was? >> well we know that he had a criminal record. he was sentenced in 1980 for the murder of a woman in that area and he served until 2006. he was released he was still on probation. that is again, part of the investigation here, because, you know it could be somebody who had a beef with him to settle because of perhaps that criminal past. and that is again, part of the investigation here. >> even so of course the manner in which even if it was retaliation, the manner in which he was found, shocking. thank you very much evan perez. and "outfront" now, derek johnson, the president of the mississippi state naacp. derek, thank you for being with me tonight. you just heard the details of otis bird's death, we're now reporting we believe that his name is otis bird. he was found a quarter mile from his home in the woods hanging with bedsheets around his neck as you just heard the sheriff say. does this sound to you like a hate crime? >> well anytime you find an african-american hung from a tree in the woods, it has the specter of a hate crime. we are proceeding cautiously with our judgment. we are hoping that federal and local investigators do a thorough investigation and if it is in fact found to be a crime, we would like for them to pursue this in a matter in which if the perpetrators committed this crime because of racial hate that they be charged as such. sheriff lucas, the local sheriff of claiborne county as the president of the naacp, i'm sure he'll do a thorough investigation and we'll be very concerned with the outcome. we have been pleased in the recent past of the local fbi agents who work really hard to bring the perpetrators of the james craig anderson murder to trial and the judge sentenced those individuals with a racial hate crime. so in the state of mississippi, in claiborne county we want to make sure it was not a racial hate crime. at this point, we are confident in the individuals who are doing the investigation. but we are standing by waiting to hear the outcome of the investigation. >> well of course as you say, when anyone hears the circumstance you hear about a black man hanging from a tree the images given the historical past you know, the potential here is pretty horrifying. what we understand and you just heard evan perez reporting this according to police records, boyd was convicted in 1980 for the murder. that murder happened to be the murder of a white woman. could this be retaliation? >> well it could be. you can name it retaliation, you can name it anything. but if the purpose of the murder was based on someone killing mr. bird because of his race that's a racial hate crime. and we want to make sure that if in fact that was the case individuals are fully prosecuted. the naacp, we was established as an organization to advocate for anti-lynching. we cannot stand by in 2015 and watch a lynching if in fact that's what happened and be silent. >> all right, derrick johnson, thank you very much. and i want to bring in now, tom fuentes, the former fbi assistant director. tom, you know derrick just using the word there, which i had mentioned, the word "lynching." that's the word that comes to mind when you first hear about an african-american man hanging from a tree by bedsheets. we do not know in this case if this was a racial hate crime, if this was a lynching if this was suicide, we don't know. but given the basic facts that we have right now, what goes through your mind? >> well what goes through my mind is that the almost a century of more of lynchings that have gone on that were considered by the fbi to be domestic terrorism. so if he was hung for those reasons, white supremacist group or somebody wanting to retaliate because of his involvement in killing a white woman or some other reason that's racially motivated like that and designed to send a message to other blacks that would be considered an act of domestic terrorism. and that's why the fbi is so heavily involved already, right from the beginning, because you don't want to let time elapse and miss a chance to obtain the evidence that they're going to need to find out what happened in this case. >> so tom, when you talk about the fbi is involved the department of justice is also involved would they be involved if they had no reason at this point to believe that this was possibly a hate crime? i mean would they both be involved if it seemed clear this was suicide? >> well you just gave the reason. black man hanging from a tree and not knowing if it's suicide or homicide or what the circumstances are. so that conjures up an image that could be, you know the hallmarks of a domestic terrorism act. and they'd rather investigate and determine that it wasn't and maybe it's just, you know a murder or maybe it is suicide that's not racially motivated, than not to investigate and be called in later, you know, when it's very late in the game. so that's why they would go immediately on the possibility. >> and, of course you know, when people first hear this then they hear the involvement of a white woman, you know you think back to emmitt till you know he was lynched for flirting with a white woman. in this case mr. boyd had been convicted and served 25 years in jail for murdering a white woman. is it possible that was involved that's relevant here? >> could be. it is possible. and again, the fbi has taken on the ku klux klan for 100 years and all the other white supremacist, neo-nazi type groups that have sprung up in the last decade, from aryan brotherhood brotherhood, and there's a variety of those groups and they're still out there alive and well and strong and that's why they're investigating this to try to eliminate the possibility that we have domestic terrorism rising again in this country and trying to determine exactly what happened. >> all right. tom fuentes, thank you very much as we said. the former assistant director of the fbi. and next this caught on tape. a black college student, his face bloody during an arrest. he called it racism. you're going to see the entire tape and judge for yourself. and gunmen attack a museum. 20 tourists at least, are dead today. what's the threat to american tourists planning to go overseas for vacation this summer?

[ bleep ]! how does this happen?! >> we're just like yo -- asking for your i.d.. >> how does this happen? >> what's at the core of this? >> it's hard to say it's a race issue, i think race definitely played a part but to me the biggest thing is excessive force. >> reporter: the virginia state police tell cnn that they've launched a criminal investigation and will look into the conduct of the officers involved in the arrest. erin? >> nick thank you very much. nick reporting live from charlottesville tonight. and joining me now, former nypd detective, tom verny, and vann jones. tom, you're with me. let me start with you. so johnson's version of the story. he says he wasn't intoxicated. he says he didn't try to present a fake i.d. we should note he's a few months shy of his 21st birthday. given that we don't know exactly what happened okay? but no matter what happened does it justify throwing a kid to the ground and having his face be utterly covered in blood? can anything in this situation justify that sort of force? >> well it all depends on what happened before the video that we saw. it doesn't show what took place before that right? so we pick up the video where the kid is already on the ground and he's being -- or attempting to be handcuffed. i don't think he was completely handcuffed at the time. and we've talked about this in other incidents, whether it be the eric garner situation or other police-involved situations across the country, that the police are authorized to use whatever force is necessary when they're attempting to arrest someone. so if someone does not comply when the officer says you're around arrest that person doesn't comply and put their hands behind their back the officers now are legally able to use whatever force is necessary to make happen. if it's not going to happen by their vocal commands they're going to have to use some level of physical force. if the person fights with them they'll have to take it to another level. >> he says he wasn't drunk. that does contradict the police report. that's a direct contradiction. but if he wasn't tested for alcohol, we're never going to know. and that seems pretty relevant in this case. does that put more of the burden on police here? >> the police will have to articulate why they arrested him. virginia has a whole set of police officers that do nothing but alcohol enforcement. they have a whole task force for this. it's a state-wide task force. they're going to have to articulate how they arrived at this young person being intoxicated. so he's under 21. the story was that he was trying to get into a bar. there were also some stories that his friends were corroborating with the police saying that he was drunk. >> his friends did say he was drunk. >> ultimately the officers will have to articulate that he was drunk based on whatever it is that they felt that he was. >> so vann in the video, and i think tom's fair to point out, right, we don't see what happened before. you see him on the ground. but when you see him on the ground you know you see his face bloodied and you hear him using expletives calling the officers racists. from what you see, vann how much do you think this was about race? >> well first of all, it's impossible to know how much it's about race because as the officer just said we don't know what happened before and we don't know -- we don't have enough facts. here's why he may feel it's about race. you know college culture these days is very you know, disrespectful, from my point of view. you see these guys you know, college guys they're talking, the girls gone wild et cetera. he may have seen other kids who may be talked back to a cop and didn't get thrown to the ground. he may have seen other young people go to a bar and not get challenged and thrown out. so we don't know what's going on. and i think it's very important that we don't rush to any conclusions about race. what i would say is this though. police officers have a choice when they see someone breaking the law or who may be breaking the law to either escalate or de-escalate de-escalate. i have seen a lot of rowdy white college guys the cops say, hey, listen guys calm it down. they treat them more like little brothers. i've also seen an african-american guy being outspoken and suddenly there's seven cop cars everywhere. so there is this sense that maybe when you have a different standard for kids when they're out there doing stuff, and that might be why he thought, hey, i'm being treated differently, than i've seen other kids being treated, and that's why i'm calling it racist. >> according to van's logic here it's possible the kid was a total jerk and he was drunk and he was being belligerent, but he was still treated differently because he was black. >> i don't -- you know -- >> it's a possibility. >> it's a possibility. i mean you know i don't think that's the case here. there's nothing to lead us to believe that at this level, at this point, that there is anything race-eltrelated here. i think what happened here as we just talked about a second ago, was based on this kid's actions and his reluctancy to want to be arrested or comply with the police. and they took whatever force -- >> let me say one thing about it. >> -- and they took him to the ground. >> let me say one quick thing about that and let the officer have a response. just one quick thing. you know one of the things that i thought was interesting is that this young man is sort of -- he's an honor student, he's a very well-respected young man, he's almost a poster child for what you would want from a young man. and i think for me just personally it was very heartbreaking to see him saying listen i go to school i go to uva, you almost saw, it wasn't just the injury physically, there was an emotional injury happening where he's saying hey, i'm a good guy and i'm being treated very badly. you're a police officer. i just, i think my heart was breaking just to see this guy, who honestly thought that maybe because i'm a good kid, i'm going to be given a break here and he certainly wasn't. >> yeah well again, you could have the best kid in school or you could have the worst kid in school you know it all comes down to when they're interacting with the police officers if they're complying with what the police officers are saying you know then none of that is even necessary. but if they're not complying with them and/or resisting arrest and/or being physical with the cops at that point, all bets will be off and the officers will be allowed to use whatever force is necessary to get that person to comply. >> one small correction legally. >> final point. >> they can't use whatever force is necessary. they have to use the minimum force necessary. and that's where, i think, we get into some of these disagreements. the minimum force necessary. i'm not sure slamming somebody's face down -- i didn't see any injuries on the police officers. i just think that sometimes you've got rowdy kids out there and the cops treat some kids different. >> right. they can use the minimum force that's necessary, but they can meet or exceed whatever force is being used against them. so if you go on the fbi's website, there's a use of force continuum chart that i usually recommend people to look at. and it gives people an idea as to the method behind the madness as to how officers use the levels of force and when they're justified to do that. by the same tone if this was a race-related race-related issue and the officers acted in that way because he was black, i would be the first one to come out and say that that's absolutely awful and they should be disciplined accordingly. but there's nothing to lead us to believe that that's the situation, that i know of. >> thanks very much to both of you. and of course as we learn more information, we'll share it with you. the young man now saying he wasn't intoxicated. of course the police report and his own friends say that he was.

>> i don't know. >> in this home a 26-year-old woman lies beaten stabbed, and bleeding. despite shock and unimaginable suffering, she finds the strength to make the call that will save her life and lead to her attacker. >> where'd she cut you at? >> in my -- i'm pregnant. she cut me in the stomach. >> police arrive in minutes and only then learn the horror she's been through. according to authorities the woman, who they're not identifying, was seven months pregnant and responding to an online ad. >> she was shopping on craigslist and she came to this house to pick up some baby clothes. >> reporter: once there, police say 34-year-old dynel lane brutally assaulted the mother to be and then cut the unborn child from her abdomen. the victim was taken to the local hospital. the same hospital where the suspect arrived with the fetus, claiming she had miscarried. it didn't take long for doctors and authorities to put two and two together. but the premature infant was already dead. the tragedy is just the latest in a string of recent craigslist-connected crimes. the company reports close to 80 million ads on its website every month and most of the transactions go smoothly. but earlier this year a suburban atlanta couple went to buy their dream car, a 1966 mustang they had found on craigslist. but there was no car. instead, a south georgia man has been charged with the couple's murders. in february a college student from atlanta thought he had found the iphone he wanted on craigslist. when he replied to the ad he was rob, shot and killed. crimes like these and other close calls motivated the woodstock police department outside atlanta to offer their parking lot, even their lobby, as a neutral and safe site for buyers and sellers to meet. >> a vigilant community is a safe community. >> reporter: craigslist itself cautions and offers to safety tip on each posting. >> that's terrifying when you think about it. it's a transaction with someone you don't know. in this case, the horrific slaying of this baby an attack of the mother. what are police saying was the motivation motivation?

>> well when you talk about a fetal abduction case there are usually two profiles of women who do this and one of them is going to be a woman who is infertile or had a serious of miscarriages and lost a child. to the extent that losing a toddler may have left with her that feeling, but then another is a woman who wants to cement a relationship with a man. this is a second marriage or subsequent marriage for dynel. a recent husband of a year and in her mind can't keep this husband unless she has a child and she has two teenage daughters. whether she's infertile or not, we don't know. >> we know she has children. when you're talking about her situation from the plosolice report, she showed her family a sonogram. it wasn't hers. she told the kids she was pregnant. she was building this up for quite some time to the people around her. what does that tell you? i mean this was not just a sudden thing, i want to have a baby. this was months in the planning. >> it is. and there's something called the hysterical pregnancy, a woman believes she's pregnant and gets symptoms of being pregnant but she's not pregnant. very often, it's caused by lying to herself. she wants to have the baby so badly, her body gains weight, she skips her period and people think she's pregnant. the problem is once she tells the lie and if she self-brainwashes herself and believes it, a level of denial. the train left the station. at a certain point there has to be a baby. this took her to a prenatal appointment. the jig was about to be up. >> he came right after this incident happened. right. and then she produced this baby and said, i miscarried and here's the baby. >> so it was almost like a desperate act. she had to produce the baby. it was unthinkable to come clean and tell the truth she was never pregnant. i'm not surprised if the sonogram was left over from the son she lost. >> that makes the tie, back to the 19 month old that tied. the shocking thing about this this is a bizarre and unusual crime but not an unheard of crime. >> not at all. we had 15 documented cases in the last 28 years and two-thirds of those have been in the last decade. i wouldn't call it an epidemic, but we are learning more from these cases. they're more common than we think and cause for further research because it's a very alarming trend. >> inkredcredibly horrific. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. motorcycle takes police on a chase fit for the movies. here's jeanne moos. >> reporter: a biker doing over 100 miles per hour on the freeway running red lights almost hitting an suv, just another l.a. high-speed chase. but what he put his feet on the seat that was more than some could stand. >> look at this guy. look at this. he is totally showing off. >> some thought the biker took a selfie close up looked like a rude gesture to pursuing police. media choppers buzzed above. it was breaking news without brake lights. this viewer couldn't contain himself. >> whoo-wee. >> reporter: one point, the biker ended up at a dead end and casually took off his helmet and inserted ear buds. when police tried to block him off, they almost took the door off. the last time covered an l.a. motorcycle chase involved a pack of bikers, solitary rider kept repeating the standing up stuff. >> here we go again. >> one writes where's a pothole when you need one? the biker turns into a gas station and gave up. >> awe. weak. >> reporter: police had guns drawned as he lay spread. 23-year-old filip redindez felony invaded and driving the wrong way. >> what do you mean you were standing going 100 mirpts?
