already responding. let s bring in cnn political producer shawna sheppard following the gingrich campaign. following us from des moines. you got the statement from newt gingrich. what else is he or his camp saying? moments ago we heard from newt gingrich s campaign press secretary. he sent a statement to cnn to clarify the former house speaker s remarks. he said gingrich supports a negotiated peace agreement between israel and palestinians. which will necessarily include agreements between israel and the palestinians over the borders of palestinian state. however, to understand what is being proposed and negotiated you have to understand decades of con complex history which is what gingrich is referencing during the interview with jewish tv. this is something the gingrich campaign often will comment on, the fact he was a former professor, and study of history. so we will see if he if he clarifies his remarks even more, challenging them even more at the debate tonight.
