Around four minutes and twenty seconds into the video tension can be seen between the two diplomats over settlements. Lieberman says that they will not "accept this vision about absolutely completely freezing of settlements" and that Israel must keep the "natural growth." Hillary Clinton takes issue with that. Yet on Iran the White House is making sure to measure every word so that it does not appear as if they are "meddling" in Iranian affairs. Clinton talks about how she looks forward toward "engagement" with Iran.

This is the new foriegn policy of this administration: saving your toughest words for one of your closest allies, and speaking softly with your greatest enemies.
