Highlights from the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer weekly television show.

Israel’s government doesn’t want a two-state solution with Palestine, according to the former prime minister.

On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer sits down with former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak to discuss the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas and the possibility of a two-state solution.

Barak’s belief is that current Israeli government–headed by his perennial rival Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu–makes the dream of a lasting peace even more distant.
