john: iran demands israel -- denies israel's right to exist. and has repeatedly vowed to wipe israel off the map. more than any other nation, germany feels a responsibility for israel's security because the country murdered 6 million jews. the responsibility for israel's security has been a cornerstone of german foreign policy with every government since the second world war. >> germany's historic responsibility is part of my country's reason of state. this means for me, as chancellor israel's security will never be negotiable. >> german policy is determined by its efficacy for israel's security and its right to exist. israel needs to be allowed to live in peace with guarantee borders. >> you have to understand that for us germans, ensuring israel's security needs are not called into question is of ongoing significance. john: we do not have much time for this complex question, but germany played a significant role in brokering this deal. the israeli government feels betrayed clearly. it is not of a trail? -- a betrayal. ursula: everybody that n

he was in israel where anger in israel is rising. al jazeera correspondent jamie mcintyre. >> ash carter's goal was to convince israel that it is ready. there was it's obligatory handshake and photo op as u.s. defense chief met with israel's prime minister, who hasn't announced the nuclear deal as a mistake of historic proportions. ash carter told reporters traveling with him he did not expect to change any minds in israel. carter met with two hours with benjamin netanyahu in jerusalem and left without any formal joint statement. at his next stop the visit to u.s. coalition troops carrying out airstrikes from a base in jordan carter said that u.s.-israel relations are rock solid. >> we have a long-standing extremely strong partnership and a common commitment to countering iranian maligned influence in this region. we don't agree on everything, and the prime minister made it quite clear that he disagreed with us with respect to the nuclear deal in iran, but friends can disagree. >> carter is trying to reassure u.s. allies, jordan and

>> look, when i criticize israel , and i do -- i love israel more not less, because i wanted to be a better place than it is. i want it to be nobler. i want it to be more in keeping with what jews are about. we are about human dignity always have been. and we must never forget that. and we cannot say that now that there is a state that things have turned and things have changed and all of the sudden there is a pragmatic consideration that forces us to become all like the other nations in the world. no, we always insist that we are not like the other nations, that we are better, that we are capable of better. and that is what i want to keep. amy: you have criticized the united states where you have been a citizen for many years. >> same thing. same thing. amy: i want to play a clip speaking about the 1968 democratic national convention or you were a delegate. in his interview, you're sitting next to singer judy collins. >> yes, i was elected delegate and also sort of unofficial charge of demonstrations on the floor. when asked to do the memorial for bobby kennedy, we saying is that we

we just heard some of the opposition from israel. i don't know if you were able to listen in on that. explain my the arab gulf states are so opposed to the deal and how can we expect them to react now? ali: look, the issue is not so much nuclear weapons, it is empowering iran to be able to play a much bigger role in the region. you have to remember that iran is in iraq today, virtually controlling the country. it is in syria and empowering the president of syria to continue killing his people. it is in lebanon. it is in yemen. it is mischief making in bahrain and saudi arabia. there is tremendous concern among the goal states that -- by bringing iran in from the cold and allowing iran to present itself as a reasonable power, as a power that wants peace and to be a respected member of the international community, italy and how is iran by giving more wealth and the benefit of the doubt on the international political stage as it continues to do what it has been doing for the last 10 years. you have to remember that iran spent a tremendo

estimated at nearly $8 billion and israel says the operation cost it $2.5 billion. but a year on the israeli government insists the war was justified and successful. >> translator: hamas has suffered the hardest blow since the day it was stand. we closely ul follow events in israel and prepare to respond with full force when we are required to do so. >> reporter: others though are not convinced that all of the ambitions for the war were successfully achieved. in a scathing dead tomorrow comment, the left leaning paper described gaza as the forgotten war and suggests there were negligible gains. lessons had not been learned victims had been forgotten. israeli says it had two main goals for what i.t. called operation protective edge. first was to stop the rockets which were being fired into israel by armed groups in gaza. second was to destroyed gaza's network of tunnels. a retired israeli colonel believes the aims were largely achieved but at the expense of damaging headlines and international criticism. >> it did cause damage. we don't like the image of israel as tr

israel today is not what it was in 1995. >> host: you talk about israel being a small country. is mrs. rabin still alive? has she -- did she ever connect with the amir family? >> guest: no, she died about five years after the assassination. and did not connect with the amir family. but also did not concern leah rabin largely felt that while one person was the gunman, there was incitement against rabin in the years leading up to the assassination by the right and the extreme right especially. people referred to rabin regularly as a murderer in street protests and held up signs of rabin dressed in a nazi uniform in one instance. for the family the culprit is not just amir, but a larger section of the right wing that incited against the israeli leader. >> host: amir's family, his brother is releasedded. what's he doing today? >> guest: so he was released a little more than two years ago and he was studying physics at the time. he was a university student studying physics in 1995. spent 17 years in prison and largely returned to the life he had left. so he's back in his home back i

a deal the israel leader has opposed. secretary of defense ash carter will travel to israel next week. >>> hi everyone. i'm gretchen carlson. this is the real story. here is what in the historic agreement. iran will reduce the number of operating centrifuges by two-thirds. will not enrich uranium to weapons grade for 15 years. they'll repurpose the nuclear facility. in return they'll be allowed to export substantially more oil and other sanctions will be lifted. bret baier skwoinsjoins me now. president obama made a phone call to prime minister netanyahu basically saying that we still have at our central goal keeping israel safe. >> that's right. and the white house put out a readout of the call. it was pretty detailed in that section, in that the u.s. saying it still holds israel security paramount and that they believe this deal is good for israel. judging by netanyahu's comments earlier, that probably is not that comforting to the israeli leader. he called it a historic mistake. stunning he said. the real concern here

israel suggests it's an existential threat to israel. behind israel, not just to the west, but the whole world. what happens now, it looks like it's a march towards a deal. what does israel do next. israel nose what to do with iran, and other states or terrorists that threaten israel. i think that the whole region will suffer more, and we see the reaction of this aggression. we'll see it's a problem. binyamin netanyahu was the only leader upon us that dared to say what needs to say, and all the others said it in closed rooms. >> a member of the knesset and foreign affairs, thank you for joining us tonight. >> coming up next, the deal with iran is personal. a former u.s. embassy worker held hostage in the islamic revolution. he tells us what he thinks about the deal when he comes back. >>> good evening, i'm antonio mora, coming up after "on target', on al jazeera america, the iran nuclear deal is in place, rehabilitation from united states, iran, israel and other countries. we go inside the deal and examine its chances of getting it appro

talking for israel the major mistake, this is not about israel. it has dramatic implications for israel, that's true, but the major mistake in the entire discussion for years was making it an israel issue. this is not about israel. it's about the middle east. it's about world order and long-term it's about america. so americans, i hope and pray, will take the right decisions that are good for america but good for the world and the free world while looking at the dangers we face and finding creative solutions. >> rose: well, clearly, it's imperative on the part of the president and others to take a look at the kinds of warnings you and others will make and say how do we make sure we avert that. great to have you here. >> thank you very much. >> rose: back in a moment. stay with us. ian bremmer is here. >> rose: we continue our conversation now about iran with ian bremmer. he is president of political consulting firm eurasia group. i'm pleased to have him back on this program and thank him for sitting in for me while i was away. thank you. >> my ple

congress and israel, the people and israel. between the white house and israel we've got some serious damage to repair to restore relations and a sense of trust. trust has been hurt here. again, in a country where nobody agrees on everything, i'm in kin knesset, right left up down arab and jew, everybody agreed this is a bad deal and here you have the president of the united states saying this is a good deal. so there is an obvious divide we have to bridge. >> michael or season the formen is former israeli ambassador the united states now a member of the israeli knesset. we'll have more israeli reaction throughout the day. mark regular gef, the chief spokesman for benjamin netanyahu will be among my guests in "the situation room" 5:00 p.m. eastern. up next, the still very unclear fate of four american citizens being held in iran. will this nuclear deal pave the way for their situations to be addressed? we'll hear from family and friends about their lingering concerns. stay with us. w dishes like the island seafood feast with cr

and israel. charlie: where are we in syria and where will we be because the iranians will have 100 early in -- $100 billion of which some of which will clearly go to hezbollah? ari: this will enable the iranians to support president assad. and hezbollah much more than they did before. charlie: will it therefore be much less likely to find a transition or negotiated agreement even though it was said the russians were maybe moving to that kind of stance? ari: he is in big trouble and he is very weak, but he read this agreement as a great hope. perhaps it is not good enough. perhaps he is too weak and cannot survive. but this will definitely enable the iranians to support him in a big way. charlie: they have money. ari: they have money, they have weapons, iranian rockets and missiles have become so precise and sophisticated, they will now have the ability to fill the middle east. we have 100,000 rockets at our northern border. charlie: are you safe because of the iron shield? ari: it will not be goo

david: would israel, that has so much on the line here, would israel actually attack iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon? >> well, i believe that prime minister netanyahu feels that he was actually elected to prevent a second holocaust. and if we feel, and if israel feels and he feels that the iran is actually nearing the point of no return, and acquiring a nuclear weapon, israel will do what it has to do as it has done in the past. israel was condemned for destroying the iraqi nuclear reactor in 1982. now just imagine, iraq as you know it would have had nuclear weapons. afterwards the world applauded israel. david: ambassador, if in fact this agreement guaranties that iran would get the nuclear weapon, doesn't that then guarranty that israel is going to hit iran before it gets one? >> well i hope that before israel has to do it, and has to do what it will do, i hope that the international community, led by the united states, will realize it too, because this is not just an israeli problem. this is a problem for the world. this is a problem for civilization as we know it

and israel jon. having said that tomorrow secretary carter will meet with prime minister netanyahu and talk about obviously all of these issues israel defense and concerns as well. and then after that secretary carter will head to jordan and saudi arabia and meet with officials and leaders there discussing the iran nuclear agreement. we'll see what comes out of the meeting with the prime minister. >> love to be a fly on the wall for all of that thank you. >> the president of afghanistan is ordering an investigation after seven afghan troops were killed in a nato air strike targeting the taliban. national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live with more. jennifer? >> reporter: heather, defense officials here in the pentagon tell me there is no reason to doubt that u.s. army helicopters may have fired mistakeny on the afghan position and killing five and the friendly fire incident occurred in two military checkpoints in a province logar south of kabul. they are aware of a incident this morning

it's no surprise israel is feeling the way it. >> thanks. let's go back to london with joe friar has been monitoring the press conference. obviously reaction from foreign minister, represents of eu holding that joint statement with the iranian foreign minister. that's described by the iranian foreign minister as a win/win. what is coming out of that briefing? >> the deal described as a win/win solution on what it says was in our view unmess crisis. the statement today, could have been the end of hope on this issue but now starting a new chapter of hope. let's build on this and consider it everybody's achieve. another note. this is historic moment we're reaching agreement that is not perfect for anybody but what we could accomplish and important for all of us. those are remarks coming out here as we prepare to hear an official announcement. described as a win/win as many involved. we've been talking not everyone is going to agree with assessment of the situation. that's what we're hearing from iran's foreign minister. >> there's been differen

talking of israel, a major mistake. this is not about israel. it has dramatic implications for israel, that is true. but the major mistake in the entire discussion for years was making it an israel issue. this is not about israel. it's about the middle east, it is about world order and long-term, it is about america. americans, i hope and pray, will take the right decisions because it's good for america and good for the free world while looking at the dangers we face and finding creative solutions. charlie: it is clearly on the part of the president and others too late -- to take a look at the warnings you and others will make and say how do we avert that is to mark it's great to have you here. back in a moment. ian bremmer is here. ♪ charlie: we continue our conversation now about iran with ian bremmer. he's the president of the eurasia group. i'm thankful for having him in and for sitting in for me while i was away. he said to things to me. one, you have a complicated relationship to it. you look at it and see things many people might not se

this is not about israel. yes, iran is an existential threat to israel but it is really the global work we are dealing with throughout these last 30 minutes, i've been talking about iraq, libya yemen. this has an effect in israel and it is detrimental to any peaceful solution for the palestinians to give them a homeland of their own and a government that is fully recognized. it is important but it is the growth of this shia led movement from iran that is the reason for their nuclear ambitions. what they want to do is they want to be able to do with impunity what they have been doing for 35 years. nuclear ambitions gave them that. i do not believe iran wanted a bond so they could fire it. i could be wrong and that is one of the reasons you try to stop these things. even if i'm right, it is clear that having the bomb with that them do what they were doing without fear of reprisal. what they have been doing is exporting terrorism and destabilizing countries using oil wealth. they have not given it historically to

but i can assure you, we will coordinate in every possible way with israel. >> so if israel conducts a cyber attack against a iranian nuclear program, are we obligated to help them? >> no, i assure you will be coordinating very very closely with israel. >> that's not how i read this. >> i don't see anyway possible that we will be in conflict with israel with respect to what we might want to do there, and i think we have to wait until we get to that point. but i do think, senator, i listened to a long list of your objections here about it but there's no alternative that you or anybody else has proposed -- >> i sure have secretary kerry. >> and i am confident that the next president of the united states will have enough common sense that if this is being complied with they are not going to arbitraryily end. i cannot see somebody just arbitrarily deciding let's go back to where we were where they are completely free to do what they want without any inspections, input, constraints, incites, i don't think any president would do that. >> the status quo is already in violation -- before you

our partners this israel see iran as an ongoing threat. while prime minister netenyahu is unlikely to ever endorse this deal it is incumbent on the united states to deepen our cooperation with israel and better understand the concerns of the israelis. it's also critical that our partners and allies know the united states will not abandon the region in the wake of this agreement. the may 2015 joint statement following the u.s. and gulf cooperation council meetings at camp david provided a road map. it also makes clear the department of defense will be at the forefront of these efforts. critics of the agreement point to flaws related to iran's ballistic missile capability. the camp david joint statement outlines our commitment to the gcc and improving inner operability in defense. the joint statement indicates we will be increasing our training and exercise arrangements with gcc operations developments. these are important efforts that i look forward to today. these negotiations focus on denies iran a pathway to a nuclear weapon. as it as re

on this. >> indeed, i mean i think most people are very clear and very aware that israel has nuclear weapons, is nuclear capable, is the only country in the middle east with that kind of capability. but the fact of the matter is that israel is also has very powerful relations, not only with the united states which of course is its strongest ally but also with other western powers including the united king m doll and countries like france and germany so their nuclear program if you will has never been criticized publically from the western powers and certainly there are those critics out there who question why israel is effectively allowed to have a nuclear arsenal and iran had to go through these years and years of isolation and sanctions and has only been able to get through that after months and months and months of very very careful negotiations with the world powers to curb its nuclear am ambitions and mr. .net nerve has criticism at home from opposition politicians, opposition politicians who say mr. netanyahu has failed to stop this deal and some of these opposition leaders hav

they also reiterateed the destruction of israel. the nuclear agreement signed on tuesday brings back our eighth automatic program. >> we'll never stop supporting our friends in the region even after this deal our policy towards the arrogant u.s. will not change. of course we don't welcome a war. we won't begin or preempt a war. if a war does happen here, the one who will exit the war in humiliation already be atrocious america. >> well, the nuclear deal is seen as a major success for president barack obama and one of a string of achievement that is will help to seal his legacy. >> you can even he see it in the way he walks. suddenly for u.s. president barack obama is fired up. that explains his mood in a radio interview. >> i know what i'm doing and i'm fearless. >> to many the president has had a picture perfect last few months. the supreme court kept his signature national insurance in place. he would re-establish diplomatic ties with cuba after five decades and now the international deal on iran's nuclear program. he has been def

allie's parents have been taken oa hospital in israel. >> the government of israel unequivocally could be dems condemns this heinous crime. we will fight terrorism no matter who the perpetrators are. >> but mahmoud abbas condemns the ak, no matter act no matter who the perpetrators are. >> attacks happen often but never have had such an outcome. hundreds showed up for baby allie's funeral. his parents in too critical a condition to lay their son to rest. not many believe promised justice will come. >> and stefanie has been at the baby boy's funeral and posted this report. >> occupied east jerusalem, what happened here namely in hebron, nabla, we're not seeing human huge numbers. people here are shocked but there's a real sense that they are help tolls try and change things, certainly when it comes to trying to change this israeli government settlement expansion policy which has been active over the last few years. >> the israeli prime minister has visited the boy's family in hospital near tel aviv. benjamin netanyahu says the government is committed to finding those who are responsible

israel today is not what it was in 1995. >> host: you talk about israel being a small country. is mrs. rabin still alive? has she did she ever connect with the amir family? >> guest: no. she died about five years after the assassination. and did not connect with the amir family. but also did not -- leah rabin felt and this is largely true of the rabin family, that while amir, the shooter was the gunman, there was a broader campaign of incitement against rabin in the years leading up to the assassination by the right and the extreme right especially. people referred to rabin regularly as a murderer in street protests and held up signs of rabin dressed in a cas sia or dressed in a nazi uniform in one instance. for the family, the culprit not just amir, but a larger segment of the right wing that incited against the israeli leader. >> host: amir's family, his brother was released. what's he doing today? >> guest: so he was released a little more than two years ago and he was studying physics at time. he was a university student studying physics in 1995, spent 17 years in prison an

is still in israel's corner, and is submitted to the security of israel, and told netanyahu that he understood that there are a lot of issues still outstanding with iran. way past this nuclear deal. iran, of course, according to the united states responders terrorism throughout the region, and he assureed israel that they would continue to press iran on these other issues. here on capitol hill, the pro israeli lobby is very powerful. it's called apac. they issued a statement yesterday saying that the deal does not seem to do what it is supposed to do, which is stop all of the pathways by which iran could form--could build a nuclear weapon. they said they were going to study the deal very carefully. they'll be up here pressing members of congress who support israel they'll be pressing members of congress to vote against this deal. now on the other side the president will have some groups urging law make tours support the deal. but really the pro israeli lobby is so powerful, they'll likely have an impact up here on the hill. >> i wonder if you can give us a sense of the context of how big this

brent: and the israel card has come into this discussion. how has this development affected german-israel he relations? >> it could put some strain on them. it's no secret that the israelis don't think much of this deal. they continue to regard iran as a threat. and there are plenty of people in berlin very sensitive to the concerns of israel when it comes to any german involvement in the middle east. criticizing the fact that iran has not recognized israel and supports armed groups in the region. sanctions were not imposed because of those issues. those in the concerns of israel should not be the primary reason for continuing to do so this time. brent: simon, thank you very much. turkey has scrambled warplanes to the syrian border admitted at least or mesh with the us are mixed eight. i asked reportedly opened fire near the town, killing one soldier and wounding others. forces returned fire and destroyed several vehicles. it comes amid a surge of violence. 32 before killed in a suicide bombing in the turkish city. dorian jones is in istanbu

plus world reaction from israel's warning. >> this is a bad mistake. of historical proportions. >> to the kremlin to washington. will congress stop it. >> entering iran's nuclear program was supposed to be the point of these talks in the first place. >> plus, voices from a iran. >> iran will emerge from international isolation. >> what the younger generation says about this water shed moment. >> we begin tonight with an agreement many consider unthinkable for decades. iran has accepted a deal to limit it's nuclear program. instead of bars today there were smiles and laughter. >> this was the reaction from people in tehran. the deal will bring an end to debilitating sanctions. with the show of unity there is uncertainty and questions about trust and transparentcy. will it hold? what if it doesn't? we have more now from jamie mcintyre. >> reporter: well, john, there is a lot in this agreement. let's take a look at some of the main points. the first one is that the--the iran has agreed to reduce it's youit's uranium producing centerfuges. in addition it w

does make a formal offer that israel will take it. >> of course, israel is not the only country in that region that is squeamish about the iran nuclear deal. do you think the vote at the united nations today might help ease fears among some of iran's other neighbors? >> i think the fact of the matter is that many believe that this, at least with the united nations, is a for gone conclusion, that this is a deal that will pass the u.n. vote, although there will certainly be countries like israel, which will certainly be very unhappy with it, other countries will include nations like jordan and sawed rake. that is why ash carter will visit both of those countries in the coming days after he leaves israel tomorrow. saudi arabia, i think is the key nation here that the u.s. is concerned about. of course they are very close allies. the u.s. has a large military presence in the middle east, thanks largely in part to saudi arabia's influence across the gulf region, as well. this is not a relationship that the u.s. wants to harm, as well. although saudi arabia hasn't been as vocal in criticism i

all of this just really underscores the concern that israel has about the violence in egypt. the two countries have had what has been described as a cold peace since 1979, but the relationship between egypt and israel was thoroughly tested in 2012, during israel's campaign in the gaza strip which resulted in the deaths of a number of civilians. the then egyptian president, mohammed morsi pulled its envoy from israel but in the last few weeks, the current president, sisi has sent a new ambassador back to israel so it would appear for now that this cooperation between israel and egypt is certainly much better than it was a few years ago, and it also really just underscores what we have been saying that israel does have concerns about the situation in the sinai, an area in which they are built a huge fence which stretches for over 200 kilometers standings at around 5 meters high and is covered in razor wire. >>> also in jerusalem today israeli soldiers sealed off the home of a palestinian man behind one of the bloodiest attacks in the holy city in hears. the family was forced ou

since israel was formed in 1948? >> it certainly feels that way. and we've had ups and downs. this feels like a particularly difficult moment. and i think what you know netanyahu talked about historic proportions, president obama talked about president reagan. presidents see as they wish to be seen often. and by envoekinvoking reagan president obama wants to be seen as a reagan figure who negotiated with the soviets, who helped bring about the end of the soviet empire. trust but verify. reagan said that so much during meetings with some at the gorbachev and started rolling his eyes. he said that at every meeting. he send it endlessly. >> john, could i ask you, do you agree with david ignatius that historically this was a "cosmic gamble"? >> it is a gamble. it fits on a spectrum. netanyahu and others want this to be a kind of -- see this as a munich prigt?right? this is an hour of appeasement that letd to this difficult moment. president obama indicated he would like it to be seen as geneva '85 leading to the fall of

. >> you grew up in israel. you served as a paratrooper, and you said as far as the flotilla is concerned, doing it as much for the people of israel and gaza. >> already 1970, when i was sent to gaza i refused to operate in territories, because the israeli army and no other should work among the civilians, armies are unfortunately - has to fight other armies and not civilians. israeli policies are leading israel and the israeli people into an abbees and worse -- abyss, and wars and hate. i would like to help the people find reconciliation and peace. it is the only way to avoid a blood bath. i was weeks ago in south africa and there we can to the transition process was achieved because the people were ready to speak to each other, and to try to work for a just solution. >> good to talk to you. thank you for being was. >> thank you. >> still to come on al jazeera. we tell you why nepo lease villagers are fleeing their home more than two months after the devastating earthquake. >> in ecuador, pope francis calls for

and israel out. -- they want to wipe us out and israel out. host: two members of congress joining us this morning to talk about this and other issues. jan schakowsky from illinois to talk about the deal that has been announced and later in the program, the republican from kansas here to talk about benghazi and other things. this marks the 60th anniversary of the capitol hill newspaper "rollcall." sitting down to talk about the coverage of major news events. the rollcall's reporting on the 1968 assassination of senator robert kennedy. [video clip] >> when "role call" went to press for the june 6 edition in 1968, they didn't yet know what would be the state of bobby kennedy. they knew he had been shot in a new he had been rushed to a hospital in los angeles but they went to press not yet knowing what the outcome would the. so the rollcall editorial staff at the time actually went ahead with a front-page editorial in which they addressed the broader issues of the day regarding violence in particular as it came related to guns but also more genera

lifted israel is safer? >> we're not lifting the embargo. >> if i can read you -- >> oh, well, well, see what you're not looking at, senator, what everybody needs to take note of is we have separate u.n. resolutions that apply to all those other activities and we have separate regimes that apply to them. for instance the missile control technology regime is a very powerful instrument. the security proliferation -- >> let me -- i understand. i'm running out of time here. with this united nations -- >> without an answer we can all run out of time. >> with the united nations language do you believe israel is safer? >> there is no question in my mind because we have the ability to put all kinds of other sanctions in place as well as enforce existing u.n. resolutions that apply to missiles app other things. >> you mentioned an article in "the washington post" how the iran deal is good for israel according to israelis who know what they're talking about. do you believe prime minister netanyahu who is highly critic

that the prime minister of israel feels that this is somehow subjecting israel to dramatically greater threats. to be fair to him he's not alone in israel. you've seen -- came out with a statement as well. the statements may not take on the full character of what prime minister netanyahu is saying but they reflect that there is a profound fear that an iran that legit nice a nuclear threshold state could become a nuclear weapon state. iran that suddenly has all this additional money to cause trouble, providing money to hezbollah, providing 100,000 rockets to hezbollah that covered the whole state of israel. they have provided clear monetary support to hamas. for israelis across the board strengthening iran in this region is not an abstract threat. they feel it very directly. so nick's point is completely right, not only because it's the right thing to do but also it's very important for the iranian to see there isn't a wedge ultimately between us and israel. this is a country. iran talks about eliminating israel. last fall the supreme leader talked about nine questions about eliminating

let's start with israel. israel is against the deal. they say the world is a less safe place today and certainly they are less safe. is that true? >> well there are lots of ways of looking at this chris. you have the deal itself. we can get into the fine print about that. the greatest concern from israel is after this ten or 15 year period iran is going to come out of this process as a more powerful state with regard to nuclear technology. so if anything it doesn't stop the iranian program to look forward with nuclear technology. it might rent a pause in that program. over the long term, i can understand why the israeli's are concerned. it might not be enough but i understand the israeli concern. >> was there a better alternative? >> that's the tough question. if you are not going to do this deal what else are you going to do? there are lots of things about the deal that make me uncomfortable. again, the time limit on it. secondly you know 48 hours ago, iran was a renegade state. everything we are talking about in regard to the nuclear

they just say israel is a cancer that must be removed or that israel must be obliterated or israel must be destroyed. this is par for the course in the way the iranian regime expresses itself. and of course they're a threat to us. but it's also a threat to your country, wolf. just last weekend, the iranians were burning american and israeli flags in the streets of tehran. the so-called moderate president, rouhani, was leading a demonstration where people were shouting "death to america, death to israel." this is a country whose agenda is fundamentally hostile to my country and to yours. you've got to remember wolf in their warped world outlook, you are in america the big satan and we are the little satan. and unfortunately, this deal makes them stronger and will make them ultimately more dangerous. >> the president said today and i'm quoting, he said, the united states will continue our unprecedented efforts to strengthen israel's security efforts that go beyond what any american administration has done before. ash carter the u.s. secretary of defense, will be coming to israel next week
