Cruz: America ‘Should Not Be Dictating a Solution’ to the Israel-Palestinian Conflict

BASH: "On Israel, what's your reaction to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu saying right before the election he opposed the two-state solution, a Palestinian state, and then afterwards when he won saying, never mind, and reversing his position?" CRUZ: "Well, I think the United States should stand unshakably with the nation of Israel. I think one of the most disgraceful aspects of the Obama presidency has been how it has treated Prime Minister Netanyahu." 
BASH: "But that's not - but that's not the question."
CRUZ: "But -"
BASH: "The question is the two-state solution." 
CRUZ: "I don't think it should be America dictating the solution there. Israel is a sovereign nation and I trust the leaders of Israel to determine whether they want to adopt a one-state solution or a two- state solution. So what I'm saying is we should trust Israel to make that determination. One of the problems, and the reason I started with how the Obama administration has treated Israel, because they have demonstrated an arrogance that America's going to dictate the terms of security in Israel. It's not our place to do it. If we can facilitate discussions, if we can provide a neutral forum, if we can bring people together, great, but it shouldn't be America saying, here's how you should resolve the security issue in Israel."
