She does mention that she thinks it's legitimate for Israel to be in control of security for a number of years before handing security over to the Palestinians, which is also the position of the Obama administration and has pretty much been the ongoing Israeli position on the two-state solution (though handing security over is a grossly generous term for what's proposed, as I mentioned above). It's support for the two-state plane, not support for Netanyahu abandoning the two-state plan.
