joining us now, new york democratic congressman elliott engel. congressman, are you happy netanyahu won? >> well i'm happy that israel's a democracy and that the israeli people decided who their leader is going to be. i'm happy about that. i never take positions in other countries' elections. but i think it shows that in contrast to every other nation in the middle east israelis go to the polls just like we do and vote for their leaders just like we do. >> how concerned are you in the days leading up -- the day before the election the prime minister reversed his position since 2009 he supported what's called a two-state solution a new state of palestine emerging longside israel. then on the day before the election, he said on his watch, no two-state solution which has caused enormous concern not only in the u.s. but around the world. are you concerned about that? >> i think that in the rhetoric and in the heat of campaigns, there are lots of things that are said and i think when they get shaken out, i think we'll find pretty much to not much has
