PRESIDENT, TODAY WE WELCOME HERE TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR PIVOTAL LEADERSHIP IN, PUTTING FORWARD A PROPOSAL THAT GOT THE BACKING OF ALMOST ENTIRE WORLD. A PROPOSAL, A PROPOSAL THAT BRINGS ALL OUR HOSTAGES HOME. A PROPOSAL THAT ENDS THE WAR BY ACHIEVING ALL OUR OBJECTIVES. A PROPOSAL THAT OPENS THE DOOR TO AN HISTORIC EXPANSION OF PEACE IN OUR REGION AND BEYOND OUR REGION. MR. PRESIDENT, YOU ARE COMMITTED TO THIS PEACE. I AM COMMITTED TO THIS. AND TOGETHER, MR. PRESIDENT, WE WILL ACHIEVE THIS PEACE. WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE. WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE IN THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS. AND WE'LL DO IT AGAIN. MR. TODAY, THE JEWISH CALENDAR MARKS THE END OF TWO YEARS OF WAR. THAT WAR BEGAN ON OCTOBER SEVENTH AND THE JEWISH JEWISH FESTIVAL OF SUPPORT TO THE. YOU ALWAYS TOLD ME AND YOU TELL THE WORLD. REMEMBER OCTOBER 7TH. MR. WE REMEMBER. WE REMEMBER THOUSANDS OF HAMAS TERRORISTS WHO STORMED INTO OUR TOWNS AND KIBBUTZIM. WE REMEMBER THE 1200 PEOPLE HAMAS SAVAGELY SLAUGHTERED IN COLD BLOOD, INCLUDING AND DOZENS OF AMERICANS. WE REMEMBER ENTIRE FAMILIES BURNT ALIVE, BURNED AS THEY EMBRACED EACH OTHER. WE REMEMBER THE BEAUTIFUL YOUNG ISRAELIS BRUTALLY GUNNED DOWN AT THE NOVA MUSIC FESTIVAL. WE REMEMBER THE HUNDREDS OF OUR CITIZENS WHO WERE DRAGGED INTO THE DUNGEONS GAZA, INCLUDING 12 AMERICANS, MEN AND WOMEN, YOUNG AND OLD, BABIES AND ELDERLY. HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS. MY FRIENDS. MR. PRESIDENT, 2ONALD, THESE MONSTERS TAKE BABIES AS HOSTAGE AS IN RESPONSE TO THIS BARBARIC ON OCTOBER 7TH. ISRAEL DID WHAT IT HAD TO DO WITH INDOMITABLE COURAGE. WE SET OUT TO DEFEND OUR PEOPLE, TO DEFEAT OUR ENEMIES, AND TO RELEASE OUR HOSTAGES, OUR HEROIC SOLDIERS. FOUGHT LIKE LIONS. THEY FOUGHT ON THE FRONT OF CIVILIZATION AND BARBARISM. ISRAEL ACHIEVED AMAZING VICTORIES OVER HAMAS AND THE ENTIRE IRAN TERROR AXIS. SINWAR THEREFORE, NEAR NASRALLAH. ASSAD THEY'RE ALL GONE. IRAN'S IRAN'S NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND BALLISTIC MISSILE PROGRAM WITH EUROPE. ENORMOUS HELP. MR. PRESIDENT, ROLL BACK HALF THE YOUR LEADERSHIP WIPED OUT. BUT THE PRICE OF THIS, THE PRICE OF VICTORIES HAS BEEN HEAVY NEARLY 2000 OF ISRAEL'S FINEST WERE LOST, NEARLY HALF IN BATTLE. THEY LEFT BEHIND SPOUSES SIBLINGS AND CHILDREN. THEIR LOVE AND LAUGHTER, THEIR PROMISE POTENTIAL WERE LOST FOREVER TO THE FAMILIES OF OUR FALLEN FIGHTERS, MANY OF THEM ARE HERE, I SAY. I KNOW THE DEPTH OF YOUR PAIN. I KNOW THE INCONSOLABLE GRIEF THAT WILL YOU FOR THE REST YOUR LIVES. THE STATE OF ISRAEL BOWS ITS HEAD IN ETERNAL GRATITUDE TO OUR FALLEN HEROES BECAUSE OF THESE HEROES. OUR NATION WILL SURVIVE BECAUSE OF THESE HEROES. OUR NATIONS WILL THRIVE. AND OF THESE HEROES, OUR NATION WILL HAVE PEACE. MR. PRESIDENT THOUSANDS OF OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS WERE ALSO WOUNDED, SUFFERING TERRIBLE BLOWS TO BODY AND SOUL. BRAVE SOLDIERS LIKE ARI SPITZ ARE IS IN. ARMY. HE IS AN AMERICAN ISRAELI WHO WAS INJURED. BY. OUR EARS. AMERICAN ISRAELI WHO WAS INJURED IN GAZA WHILE SEARCHING FOR HAMAS TERRORISTS AND WEAPONS. TWO OF OUR IS CUMMINGS WERE KILLED IN THIS ACTION AND TEN WERE INJURED. ARI PRESUMED DEAD BUT MADE A MIRACULOUS RECOVERY DESPITE LOSING. THE LIMBS. ARI, STAND UP FOR A MINUTE ALONE. STAND UP. THERE YOU GO. THERE. ARI. ARI, YOU ARE THE SPIRIT OF JOSHUA. YOU ARE THE SPIRIT OF DAVID. YOU ARE THE SPIRIT OF THE MACCABEES. YOU ARE THE SPIRIT. ISRAEL. I SALUTE. WE ALL SALUTE YOU YOU. SABINE CONTESSA. OF KIBBUTZ. THE TWO OF US. OF OUR IS WATCHING US TODAY FROM THE ISRAELI CONSULATE IN LOS ANGELES. SABINE LOST HER HUSBAND AND THEIR OLDEST SON. ON OCTOBER 7TH. SHE IS THE MOTHER OF THREE OTHER BOYS. TWO OF THEM COLIN AND SHAI WITNESSED THEIR FATHER JUMP ON A HAMAS GRENADE. TO SAVE HIS TWO SONS. WE ALL SAW THE FILM OF THOSE TWO BOYS CRYING OUT IN P FATHER IS DEAD. WHY? WHY DID GOD SAVE ME? MR. PRESIDENT, MY FRIEND DONALD, I'VE SEEN SOME VERY TOUGH THINGS IN MY LIFE, BUT I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO WATCH THOSE BOYS AGAIN. SO I DIDN'T SEE THIS FILM, EXCEPT ONCE IT'S BEEN THERE. MOTHER HAS HAD THE STRENGTH AND FORTITUDE TO SHOW THIS FILM ACROSS THE WORLD. AND MY WIFE, SARA, AND I ASKED HER, SABINA, HOW DO YOU DO IT? WHY DO YOU DO IT? AND SHE ANSWERED, I DO IT TO SHOW THE ENTIRE WORLD THE MONSTERS, ISRAEL IS FIGHTING AND THE JUSTICE OF OUR CAUSE. THIS IS WHAT SHE'S DOING AGAIN IN LOS ANGELES. SABINE, YOU CAN HEAR ME NOW. SO I WANT TO TELL YOU ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US, YOU EMBODY THE SPIRIT OF BIBLICAL HEROINES. DEBORAH, RUTH AND ESTHER. YOU, TOO, ARE THE SPIRIT OF ISRAEL. AND WE ALL SALUTE YOU. MR. PRESIDENT, YOU ASKED ME ON OUR MANY CONVERSATIONS DURING THE 12 DAY WAR WITH IRAN. YOU ASKED ME, HOW ARE THE HOLDING UP? AND I SAID TO YOU, OUR PEOPLE ARE STRONG. ISRAEL IS OUR NATION OF LIONS WITH UNLIMITED RESOLVE TO DEFEND OUR COUNTRY AND SECURE OUR FUTURE. THE PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE GIVE STRENGTH TO OUR SOLDIERS. AND THE PEOPLE GIVE STRENGTH TO ME AND TO MY COLLEAGUES. THE JEWISH PEOPLE RISEN FROM THE ASHES TIME AND AGAIN. BUT WHEN WE FORMED THE STATE, ISRAEL AND THE ARMY OF ISRAEL, WE PLEDGED NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN WOULD BE AGAINST OUR ENEMIES ENEMIES. AND THAT THAT RESOLUTE STRENGTH NOT ONLY ASSURES OUR SURVIVAL. IT ASSURES OUR FUTURE. IT ASSURES PEACE. WE HAVE PAID WE'VE PAID A HIGH PRICE FOR THIS WAR. BUT OUR ENEMIES NOW UNDERSTAND JUST HOW POWERFUL AND JUST HOW DETERMINED ISRAEL IS. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT ATTACKING ON OCTOBER 7TH WAS A CATASTROPHIC MISTAKE. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT ISRAEL IS STRONG AND THAT ISRAEL IS HERE TO STAY. AND THIS, MR. PRESIDENT, IS THE INDISPENSABLE FOUNDATION OF PEACE. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS A MOMENTOUS DAY, A DAY OF GREAT JOY AS THE REMAINING HOSTAGES COME HOME. MY WIFE, SARAH AND I HAVE MET WITH THE HOSTAGE FAMILIES. MANY TIMES. THERE WERE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THEIR AGONY, ONLY TEARS OF BOTTOMLESS SORROW AND UNIMAGINABLE PAIN AT THE BEGINNING THE WAR. I PROMISED TO BRING THE HOSTAGES HOME. TODAY, WITH THE INDISPENSABLE HELP, THE DETERMINED AND FOCUSED HELP, THE UNREMITTING HELP OF PRESIDENT TRUMP, HIS ESTEEM, AND WITH INCREDIBLE SACRIFICE AND COURAGE OF THE SOLDIERS OF ISRAEL, WE ARE FULFILLING THAT PROMISE. IT HAS BEEN A LONG JOURNEY TO GET HERE. IN THE FIRST WEEK OF THE WAR. OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS PUT MILITARY PRESSURE ON HAMAS AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, PUT DIPLOMATIC PRESSURE ON THEM. THIS ENABLED US TO SECURE THE RELEASE OF OVER 100 HOSTAGES IN HEROIC RESCUE ATTEMPTS BEHIND ENEMY LINES. ISRAEL'S SPECIAL FORCES RESCUED EIGHT LIVE HOSTAGES AND BROUGHT BACK REMAINS OF A DOZENS MORE. BUT AS TIME WENT ON, WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THE DIPLOMATIC PRESSURE WAS TURNED ITS HEAD. MORE AND MORE GOVERNMENTS BOUGHT INTO HAMAS FALSE PROPAGANDA. MORE AND MORE GOVERNMENTS SUCCUMB TO ANTI-SEMITIC MOBS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES. THEY JUST TURNED ON ISRAEL. THEY CALLED FOR US TO SURRENDER TO HAMAS DEMANDS TO LEAVE GAZA. THEY SAID END THE WAR WITHOUT COMMITTING TO DISARM, WITHOUT COMMITTING TO DEMILITARIZE GAZA. AND ISRAEL SUCCUMBED TO THOSE DEMANDS. NOT ONLY WOULD SINWAR OR NASRALLAH, ASSAD AND IRAN'S MISSILE AND NUCLEAR PROGRAM REMAIN INTACT. NOT ONLY THAT BECAUSE IN NO TIME, THE HAMAS KILLERS WOULD BE BACK ON THE BORDER FENCE, READY? REPEAT THE HORRORS OF OCTOBER 7TH AGAIN AND AGAIN AS. THEY VOWED TO DO. BUT JUST AT THAT POINT, JUST AT THAT POINT OF MAXIMUM PRESSURE, ISRAEL, A MAN NAMED DONALD J. TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, OVERNIGHT, OVERNIGHT, EVERYTHING CHANGED. EVERYTHING. WE FELT IS RIGHT HERE. MR. PRESIDENT, THANKS TO YOUR UNEQUIVOCAL BACKING OF ISRAEL, WE SECURED A SECOND HOSTAGE. YOU WITHIN WEEKS OF YOUR ELECTION AND THE MONTHS THAT FOLLOWED, WE CLOSELY TOGETHER TO A PATH TO BRING THE REMAINING HOSTAGES AND END THE WAR AND WAR IN A WAY THAT ENSURES THE DISARMING OF HAMAS THE DEMILITARIZATION OF GAZA, AND THAT GAZA WOULD NEVER AGAIN POSE A THREAT TO ISRAEL. TWO MONTHS AGO, YOU FULLY BACKED MY DECISION TO SEND THE IDF INTO THE LAST HAMAS STRONG IN GAZA CITY. YOU SHARED MY VIEW THAT THIS MILITARY WOULD HELP FREE THE HOSTAGES. AND DESPITE ALL THE CRITICISM, ALL THE NAYSAYERS, WE WERE RIGHT. HAMAS CAVED IN. AND TWO WEEKS AGO, YOU SUCCEEDED IN DOING. MIRACULOUS. YOU SUCCEEDED IN DOING THAT. NO ONE BELIEVE WAS POSSIBLE. YOU BROUGHT MOST OF THE ARAB WORLD. YOU DID. YOU BROUGHT MOST OF THE WORLD BEHIND YOU. A PROPOSAL TO FREE THE HOSTAGES AND END THE WAR. I WANT TO THANK STEVE WYCKOFF. JARED KUSHNER AND RON DERMER FOR THEIR GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO THIS EFFORT. AND I WANT TO THANK OUR NEGOTIATING TEAM. I BELIEVE THAT THE CLOSE COOPERATION BETWEEN THE TWO OF US, BETWEEN OUR TWO NATIONS COMBINING ISRAEL'S MILITARY PRESSURE AND PRESIDENT TRUMP'S UN BADGE, GLOBAL LEADERSHIP. I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF AMERICAN PRESENCE SEND THEM ALL AND THE TIME THAT I'VE BEEN HERE AND I'VE BEEN HERE QUITE A LOT OF TIME. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE MOVE THE WORLD SO QUICKLY, SO DECISIVELY, SO RESOLUTELY. AS OUR FRIEND, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. WITH OUR MILITARY PRESSURE AND PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP, WE ACHIEVED THIS HISTORIC MOMENT. IT'S A MOMENT OF INTRASQUAD JOY AS OUR NATION EMBRACES OUR SONS WHO ARE COMING HOME. MR. PRESIDENT, THIS. -- AROUND, THE WORLD, -- AROUND THE WORLD ARE GOING TO THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES SIX KAHIL. IT'S IN THE BIBLE BIBLE. THE BIBLE HAS MANY MIRACULOUS MOMENTS. ONE OF THEM WAS YOUR DECISION. TO BOMB FORDO. I THINK IT WAS A PIVOT HISTORY BECAUSE WASN'T MEANT ONLY TO BOMB FORDO. THAT ACTION AND YOUR PREVIOUS. ACTION OF TAKING QASSEM SOLEIMANI, THE ARCHITECT OF DEATH. I THINK THAT CHANGED THE BALANCE OF POWER IN THE WORLD. YOU BROUGHT AMERICA BACK AGAIN TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT. NOW, I SAID THAT WE'RE GOING TO READ THIS, THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES. IT HAS. IT'S NOT A BOOK OF ACTION. IT'S A BOOK OF MEDITATIONS OF THOUGHT, A PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE AND ON DEATH. AND IN THIS BOOK, WE READ THE IMMORTAL WORDS OF KING SOLOMON TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON AND A TIME FOR EVERY MATTER UNDER HEAVEN. ETERNAL HAMMER THE EARTH, SHALOM, A TIME FOR PEACE AND A TIME FOR WAR THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN A TIME OF WAR. THE COMING YEARS WILL HOPEFULLY BE TIME FOR PEACE. PEACE INSIDE ISRAEL AND OUTSIDE ISRAEL. I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING AND MARCHING WITH YOU ON THE PATH WE PAVED TOGETHER WITH THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP, WE CAN FORGE NEW PEACE TREATIES WITH ARAB COUNTRIES, THE REGION AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES. BEYOND THE REGION. ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN WILL WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD A BETTER FUTURE, A FUTURE THAT WILL UNITE CIVILIZATION AGAINST BARBARISM, LIGHT AGA DARKNESS AND HOPE AGAINST DESPAIR. AND MY FRIENDS, I BELIEVE THAT WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP, THIS WILL HAPPEN A FASTER THAN PEOPLE THINK. AS PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL, I EXTEND MY HAND TO HOLD THOSE WHO SEEK PEACE WITH US. NO ONE WANTS PEACE MORE THAN THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. ISRAEL WILL ALWAYS REMAIN VIGILANT IN DEFENDING ITSELF AND ISRAEL WILL ALWAYS REMAIN FULL OF HOPE. HOPE IS OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM. HOPE IS OUR CREED. HOPE IS OUR STRENGTH. IT IS TIME, MY FRIENDS, TO REALIZE THAT HOPE AND EXPAND THE CIRCLE OF PEACE. MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR US. I HAVE SUBMITTED YOUR NOMINATION TO BE THE FIRST NON-ISRAELI RECIPIENT OF THE ISRAEL PRIZE, ISRAEL'S HIGHEST AWARD. AS TO THAT OTHER PRIZE, JUST A QUESTION OF TIME. YOU'LL GET IT. BUT I WANT YOU TO GET THE ISRAEL PRIZE. OUR HIGHEST AWARD TO OUR GREATEST FRIENDS. WILL WHEN OTHERS WILL REACH YOUR STRONG. WHEN OTHERS WERE FEARFUL, YOU WERE BOLD. WHEN OTHERS ABANDONED US, YOU STOOD BY OUR SIDE. ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT AND OF ISRAEL, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXTRAORDINARY FRIENDSHIP. THANK YOU FOR HELPING BRING OUR HOSTAGES HOME. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ISRAEL'S MARCH TO VICTORY. THANK YOU FOR PAVING PATH TO PEACE. NOBODY IN ISRAEL TO TO BEAT IT. HONORARY WELCOME TO ISRAEL SHALOM. WELCOME TO JERUSALEM BARBARISM. AMID ALLEGATIONS. WELCOME PIANO. THE KEY MAN HOLDING THE BEGIN VIOLIN AS IT IS TO THIS DAY. MAY GOD BLESS AND YOUR FAMILY. MR. PRESIDENT. MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAY GOD BLESS ISRAEL. AND MAY GOD BLESS THE COVENANT BETWEEN OUR TWO PROMISED LANDS. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. AFTER A YEAR, THE FORMER AUTHORITIES. BUT YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER THAT YOU. THE PRESIDENT. WHERE. YOU KNOW. COME ON UP. OPPOSITION AND COMMON OPPOSITION TO. AN AMICABLE LAST MINUTE. IT WAS SO POSITIVE HOW CAN I SIT HERE? LAPID. LET'S DO SOME. THANK YOU. MR. SPEAKER. MEMBERS OF KNESSET MINISTERS PRESIDENT HERZOG. BY MR. NETANYAHU, DISTINGUISHED GUESTS YOUR EXCELLENCY, PRESIDENT TRUMP TRUMP FOR TWO YEARS WE WAITED THIS MOMENT. TWO YEARS OF SLEEP. THIS WHILE OTHERS SPOKE OF DIFFICULTIES, YOU CREATED OPPORTUNITY. YOU CAN BE THE OVEN -- THE ONE TO BRING THE NEXT WAVE OF PEACE, THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL SUPPORT THIS, WE WANT THIS, WE ARE READY. AND YOU CAN, LATER TODAY, IN EGYPT WITH YOUR UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED TEAM, MY FRIEND STEVE WITKOFF, MARCO RUBIO, PETE HEGSETH, FORGE A REGIONAL ALLIANCE THAT WILL CHANGE NOT ONLY THE MIDDLE EAST BUT THE ENTIRE WORLD. AFTER TWO YEARS OF WAR, E PEOPLES OF THIS REGION SHOULD LOOK AROUND AND ASK THEMSELVES WHAT SITUATION IS BETTER, OF THOSE WHO CHOSE THE PATH OF PEACE, THOSE WHO CHOSE THE PATH OF WAR. THOSE WHO INVESTED IN THEIR PEOPLE, THE EDUCATION OF THEIR CHILDREN IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WITH THOSE WHO INVESTED IN HATE AND IN VIOLENCE. FROM HERE I SAY, TO ALL THOSE WHO DEMONSTRATED AGAINST ISRAEL THESE PAST TWO YEARS, ON THE STREETS OF LONDON AND ROME, IN PARIS AND COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, I DO NOT REPRESENT THE GOVERNMENT, I AM THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION. AND I TELL YOU, YOU WERE DECEIVED. PROPAGANDA EXPERTS FUNDED BY TERROR MONEY MANIPULATED YOU. NOW THAT THE WAR HAS STOPPED YOU HAVE TIME AND A CHANCE TO GO AND LEARN THE FACTS. THE TRUTH IS THERE WAS NO GENOCIDE. NO INTENTIONAL STARVATION. APPLAUSE THE TRUTH IS, THERE WAS AN ARMY IN THE COUNTRY FIGHTING IN THE MOST COMPLICATED CONDITIONS IMAGINABLE AGAINST TERRORISTS WHO SENT THEIR OWN CHILDREN TO DIE. WHO USE THEIR OWN CHILDREN AS HUMAN SHIELDS. THE TRUTH IS THE DEMOCRATIC STATE WAS ATTACKED BY A FANATICAL TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, 1200 PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN ONE DAY, WOMEN WERE RAPED, BABIES WERE BURNED ALIVE AND ALL THE WHILE THEY PLAYED WITH YOUR MINDS, SELLING YOU THE ABSURD IDEA THAT SUPPORTING ISLAMIC TERRORISTS WAS A LIBERAL VALUE. WHEN YOU STAND WITH HAMAS YOU STAND 2ITH 2HE 2EOPLE, 2HEN YOU STAND WITH HEZBOLLAH YOU STAND WITH PEOPLE. WHEN YOU STAND WITH THE IRANIAN REGIME YOU STAND WITH PEOPLE. WHEN YOU STAND WITH ISRAEL YOU STAND ON THE SIDE OF JUSTICE. APPLAUSE LAST WEEK, LAST WEEK I ATTENDED THE SEVENTH OF OCTOBER MEMORIAL CEREMONY AND AN INSPIRATIONAL WOMAN SPOKE ON STAGE. SHE HAD A DAUGHTER, A 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO WAS AUTISTIC LIKE MY DAUGHTER. AND SHE WAS FULL OF LIGHT. ON THAT DARK DAY SHE WAS SLEEPING AT HER GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE IN THE KIBBUTZ. SHE WAS A YEARS OLD. THEIR BODIES, GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDDAUGHTER WERE FOUND EMBRACED. THEY WERE MURDERED TOGETHER. ON STAGE AT THE CEREMONY WE DON'T WANT REVENGE SHE SAID, WE WANT REDEMPTION. TODAY, THE REDEMPTION BEGINS. ISRAEL HAS ENDURED TWO TERRIBLE YEARS ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND IN THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA. BUT THOSE TWO YEARS WE ALSO REDISCOVERED OUR OWN GREATNESS. REMEMBER HOW GOOD IT CAN BE, ARE PILOTS WHO TOOK CONTROL OF THE SKIES OVER RAMALLAH. OUR CIVIL SOCIETY, WHICH REACHED OUT TO HELP EVERY VICTIM OF THE WAR. WE WILL MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS A DIFFERENT FUTURE. OUR HEROIC SOLDIERS WHO SAVED US ALL AND RISE AS TEACHERS AND ENGINEERS, SCIENTISTS AND INNOVATORS, INVESTORS AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS. WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPAY THE DEBT TO THOSE WHO SACRIFICED EVERYTHING, TO THOSE AS PRESIDENT LINCOLN SAID, GAVE THE LAST FULL MEASURE OF DEVOTION. WE CAN ONLY BE WORTHY OF THEM. WORTHY OF THEIR SACRIFICE. . PRESIDENT ALLOW ME TO SPEAK ALSO TO THE BUSINESSMAN, THE DEALMAKER WHO UNDERSTANDS VALUE. IF THERE WERE ONE STOCK IN THE WORLD I WOULD INVEST IN TODAY, IT IS APPLAUSE THE STATE OF ISRAEL. IF THERE WERE ONE NATION THAT DESERVES UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO GPU CHIPS, TO AI ANALOGIES, TO AMERICAN MARKETS, IT IS THE STATE OF ISRAEL. ISRAEL'S FUTURES INTERTWINED WITH OUR ETERNAL ALLIANCE OF STRATEGIC COMPETENCE WITH OUR GREATEST FRIENDS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS WAR IS OVER. WE WILL ALWAYS NEED TO STAY VIGILANT, TO GUARD AGAINST THOSE WHO SEEK OUR DESTRUCTION. BUT THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS ABOUT TO REINVENT ITSELF. THE CHALLENGES AHEAD TO MAN NOT ONLY STRENGTHS BUT A NEW VISION. IT'S TIME TO BE A NATION THAT IS ADVANCED AND THRIVING. AND WE HAVE WAITED FOR THIS MOMENT FOR THE END OF THE WAR FOR THE RETURN OF THE HOSTAGES FOR THE CHANCE TO BE CHANNEL OUR GRIEF AND LOSS INTO THE ENERGY NEEDED TO REBUILD OUR NATION. THANKS TO YOU MR. PRESIDENT, THANKS TO OUR SOLDIERS AND LIONS, THANKS TO THE MILLIONS OF GREAT ISRAELIS 2HO 2ILLED 2HE STREETS AND NEVER NOT FOR ONE MOMENT GAVE UP ON THE HOSTAGES. APPLAUSE THANKS TO ALL OF THEM, THE STRENGTH WITHIN US CANNOT ARISE AND SUCCEED AND BUILD. FOR A FUTURE AND FOR OUR CHILDREN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE

AFTER TWO HARROWING YEARS OF DARKNESS AND CAPTIVITY, 20 COURAGEOUS HOSTAGES ARE RETURNING TO THE GLORIOUS EMBRACE OF THEIR FAMILIES, IT IS GLORIOUS. 28 MORE PRECIOUS LOVED ONES ARE COMING HOME AT LAST TO REST IN THIS SACRED SOIL FOR ALL OF TIME. AFTER SO MANY YEARS OF UNCEASING WAR AND ENDLESS HATRED, TODAY THE SKIES ARE CALLING, THE GUNS ARE SILENT, THE SIRENS ARE STILL IN THE SUN RISES ON THE HOLY LAND THAT IS FINALLY AT PEACE, A LAND THAT WILL LIVE GOD WILLING, IN PEACE, FOR ALL ETERNITY. APPLAUSE

THIS IS NOT ONLY THE END OF WAR, THIS IS THE END OF AN AGE TERROR, THE BEGINNING OF THE AGE OF FAITH AND HOPE AND OF GOD. IT'S THE START OF A GRAND CONCORDE AND LASTING HARMONY FOR ISRAEL AND ALL THE NATIONS OF A TRULY MAGNIFICENT REGION. THIS IS THE HISTORIC DON OF THE NEW MIDDLE EAST. I WANT TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO A MAN OF EXCEPTIONAL COURAGE WHOSE PARTNERSHIP DID SO MUCH TO MAKE THE MOMENTUM DAY POSSIBLE, YOU KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT, THERE IS ONLY ONE, PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU. STAND UP. APPLAUSE

AND HE IS NOT EASY I'M GOING TO TELL YOU, HE IS NOT THE EASIEST GUY TO DEAL WITH. BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIM GREAT. THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIM GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GREAT JOB. AND LET ME ALSO CONVEY MY TREMENDOUS APPRECIATION FOR ALL OF THE NATIONS OF THE ARAB AND MUSLIM WORLD WHO CAME TOGETHER TO GET HAMAS TO SET THE HOSTAGES FREE. WE HAD A LOT OF HELP, WE HAD A LOT OF HELP, A LOT OF PEOPLE. AND I WANT TO THANK THEM VERY MUCH. IT'S AN INCREDIBLE TRIUMPH FOR ISRAEL AND THE WORLD TO HAVE ALL OF THESE NATIONS WORKING TOGETHER AS PARTNERS IN PEACE AND IT IS PRETTY UNUSUAL FOR YOU TO SEE THAT WHAT IT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE, THIS WAS A VERY UNUSUAL POINT IN TIME. GENERATIONS FROM NOW THIS WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE MOMENT THAT EVERYTHING BEGAN TO CHANGE AND CHANGE VERY MUCH FOR THE BETTER. LIKE THE USA RIGHT NOW, IT WILL BE THE GOLDEN AGE OF ISRAEL AND THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE MIDDLE EAST. I'D LIKE TO THANK SEVERAL GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOTS FOR THEIR INVALUABLE HELP GETTING SOMETHING DONE THAT ALMOST EVERYONE THOUGHT WAS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. WE WERE WASTING OUR TIME. SAYING JUST YOU WASTING YOUR TIME. BECAUSE WE HAVE TALENTED PEOPLE WORKING WITH US. WE HAVE PEOPLE LOVE THE COUNTRY AND FRANKLY PEOPLE LOVE THE REGION, WHO LOVE THE MIDDLE EAST. I WANT TO THANK MY FRIEND STEVE WITKOFF. APPLAUSE

YOU KNOW STEVE WAS CHOSEN BY ME, HE NEVER DID THIS BEFORE BUT HE WAS A GREAT BUSINESSMAN BUT I KNOW A LOT OF GREAT BUSINESSMAN. HE HAD TREMENDOUS NEGOTIATING SKILLS BUT I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE TO NEGOTIATE PRETTY WELL. THERE IS AN ART. BUT PEOPLE THAT CAN NEGOTIATE REALLY WELL MOST IMPORTANT WITH STEVE, HE'S JUST A GREAT GUY. EVERYBODY LOVED HIM. EVERYBODY. APPLAUSE

I MEAN I KNOW SOME NEGOTIATORS THAT ARE SO GOOD BUT YOU WOULDN'T OF HAD PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, WE WOULD BE IN WORLD WAR III RIGHT NOW WITH SOME OF THESE. EVERYBODY LOVES STEVE, THEY RESPECT HIM AND THEY SOMEHOW FOR MANY YEARS.

PLEASE EXPEL THIS KNESSET MEMBER. PLEASE EXPEL -- PLEASE EXPEL KNESSET MEMBER BECAUSE SEIF OUT OF THE HALL.

FOR THAT MR. PRESIDENT.

THAT WAS VERY EFFICIENT. LAUGHTER NO AUDIO APPLAUSE

SO BACK TO STEVE. HE'S -- APPLAUSE

BUT I TELL ONE STORY BECAUSE HE WAS SO INVOLVED AND THEN CALLED IN JARED, WE GOT TO GET JARED IN HERE, WE GOT TO GET A CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE BUT STEVE STARTED THIS ALL BY HIMSELF.

HENRY KISSINGER -- WE CALL HIM HENRY KISSINGER WHO DOESN'T LEAK. HENRY WAS A BIG LEAKER. STEVE WANTS TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT. A QUICK STORY BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW HE'S WORKING ON THE WAR WITH RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, A WAR THAT WOULD'VE NEVER HAPPENED IF I WERE PRESIDENT. 7000 YOUNG SOLDIERS A WEEK ARE BEING KILLED. MORE OF THEM THIS LAST WEEK. IT IS A SHAME IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. BUT IT DID HAPPEN AND I WON THE RACE AND I TOOK OVER THIS HORRIBLE WAR THAT'S BEEN RAGING. AND EASILY SETTLED I THOUGHT IT WAS A HELL OF A LOT EASIER THAN DOING WHAT WE JUST DID VERY SUCCESSFULLY WITH ISRAEL AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE, BUT THIS CAME FIRST. BUT I SET UP A MEETING TO MEET WITH PRESIDENT PUTIN THINKING IT WOULD BE A 15 OR 20 MINUTE MEETING STEVE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT RUSSIA, I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT -- DIDN'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT POLITICS WASN'T THAT INTERESTED, HE WAS REALLY GOOD AT REAL ESTATE BUT HE HAD THAT QUALITY THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR AND I DID NOT SEE IT AROUND INTO MANY WAYS. I SET UP THE MEETING WITH BOUDIN AND I CALLED AND SAID IS STEVE FINISHED YET AND IT WAS ABOUT A HALF-HOUR INTO THE MEETING. NO SIR HE'S NOT HE STILL INSIDE. I SAID HOW IS HE DOING. I CALLED UP AN HOUR LATER, LET ME SPEAK TO STEVE, SIR HE'S STILL WITH BOUDIN. HE AND I SAID WOW THAT'S A LONG MEETING. I CALLED UP AN HOUR LATER, HE IS STILL IN THE ROOM, A THREE HOURS LATER HE STARTED TO GET THE WORD THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE COMING OUT SOON AND IN FIVE HOURS HE CAME OUT. I SAID WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT FOR FIVE HOURS. AND HE SAID JUST A LOT OF INTERESTING THINGS. TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF INTERESTING THINGS INCLUDING WHAT HE WENT IN FOR BUT HE CAN TALK ABOUT IT FOR CERTAIN TIME AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR GETTING. BUT THAT'S A TALENT. MOST PEOPLE I'D SEND IN WOULDN'T ACCEPT IN NOVEMBER 2 THEY WOULD LAST FIVE MINUTES AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WITH STEVE. EVERYBODY LOVES HIM, AND HE REALLY IS, HE IS A GREAT NEGOTIATOR BECAUSE HE'S A GREAT GUY. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPLAUSE AND LET ME ALSO GIVE A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO SOMEONE WHO TRULY LOVES ISRAEL, IN FACT LOVES IT SO MUCH THAT MY DAUGHTER CONVERTED. APPLAUSE

I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. AND IVANKA IS HERE. APPLAUSE

AND BB-8 YOU KNOW THIS IS NOT OF THE CARDS FOR ME. YOU 2NDERSTAND 2HAT. AND SHE'S SO HAPPY AND THEY ARE SO HAPPY. IF THEY'RE NOT WE HAVE A BIG STORY RIGHT. NOW THEY ARE A GREAT MARRIAGE AND GET ALONG GREAT, THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS AND HAVE A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP. BUT JARED HAS BEEN SO HELPFUL. HE REALLY DID SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL, HE ESTABLISHED THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS WITH VERY WONDERFUL PEOPLE. I LIKE CALLING IT THE AH-BRAHAM ACCORDS. APPLAUSE

IT'S SO COOL. IT IS SO MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE. THE ABRAHAM VERSUS THE AHBRAHAM. I JUST DON'T WANT TO SOUND TOO SANCTIMONIOUS. THIS WILL KEEP EVERYBODY HAPPY. BUT WE HAVE SOME GREAT TALENT AND THEY HAVE NO EXCUSES FOR ANYTHING THAT'S TAKEN PLACE BECAUSE WE HAD SOME UNBELIEVABLY GOOD PEOPLE WORKING ON THIS AND THEN YOU ADD A MAN NAMED MARCO RUBIO WHO WAS ALSO HERE. APPLAUSE

AND I HAVE A PREDICTION THAT MARCO WILL GO DOWN AS THE GREATEST SECRETARY OF STATE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. I BELIEVE IT. I BELIEVE IT. AND HE AND I, YOU KNOW HE REALLY FOUGHT IT OUT. HE WAS TOUGH. HE WAS NASTY. WHO THE HELL THOUGHT THIS WAS GOOD TO HAPPEN MARCO RIGHT? AND THE ONGOING ESSAY IS GOING DOWN IS THE GREATEST YOU WILL, HE'S ALWAYS -- HE WAS ALWAYS SMART AND SHARP AND I RESPECT HIM. AND THEN WE HAVE SOMEBODY WHO IS YOUNG, BUT AN UNBELIEVABLE LEADER I SOUGHT A LONG TIME AGO AND IT'S TURNED OUT TO BE EVEN BETTER, EVEN BETTER THAN WE THOUGHT RIGHT SUSIE? EVEN BETTER AND THAT IS PETE HEGSETH, OUR SECRETARY OF FORMERLY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. APPLAUSE

AND AS YOU KNOW WE DECISIVELY WON WORLD WAR I, WE DECISIVELY WON WORLD WAR II DECISIVELY AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN, EVERYTHING BEFORE IT, WE WANT EVERYTHING AND THEN THEY HAD THE BRILLIANT IDEA OF CHANGING THE NAME FROM WAR. YOU KNOW IT'S WAR, TO DEFENSE. AND WITH THAT WENT A CERTAIN THINKING. AND IN A VERY POLITICALLY CORRECT AFTER WAY -- WAY AFTER THAT. NOW WE HAVE A STRONGER MILITARY THAN WE'VE EVER HAD BEFORE. SINCE MY FIRST TERM OF TOTALLY REBUILT EVERY ASPECT OF IT. WE HAVE WE SETTLED EIGHT WARS IN EIGHT MONTHS AND I'M NOW INCLUDING THIS ONE BY THE WAY THAT'S OK. THEY MAY SAY WELL THAT WAS QUICK BECAUSE YESTERDAY I WAS SAYING SEVEN BUT NOW I CAN SAY EIGHT, THE HOSTAGES ARE BACK. THE HOSTAGES ARE BACK. LAUGHTER APPLAUSE -- APPLAUSE

IT IS A GOOD FEELING, ISN'T THAT NICE TO SAY? TO SAY THE HOSTAGES ARE BACK. IT FEELS SO GOOD TO SAY IT. BUT WHEN YOU SETTLE EIGHT WARS IN EIGHT MONTHS THAT MEANS YOU DON'T LIKE WAR. EVERYONE THOUGHT I WOULD BE BRUTAL, IN FACT ARMORY HILLARY CLINTON DURING THE DEBATE SAID LOOK AT HIM, HE IS GOING TO GO TO WAR WITH EVERY BODY. AND ACTUALLY SHE SAID HE'S GOT A PERSONALITY THAT'S ALL ABOUT WAR. MY PERSONALITY IS ACTUALLY ALL ABOUT STOPPING WARS AND IT SEEMS TO WORK. APPLAUSE

BUT IT ALSO MEANS THIS NAME CHANGE OR ATTITUDE THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO GO INTO BUT IF WE DO WE ARE GOING TO WIN THAT WAR IS CAN WIN A WAR BEFORE, WE WILL NOT BE POLITICALLY PROTECT -- CORRECT. AS YOU MENTIONED BEFORE PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. APPLAUSE THE UNITED STATES IS THE MOST GREATEST AND POWERFUL MILITARY. WE HAVE WEAPONS, NOBODY HAS EVER DREAMT OF. I REBUILT THE MILITARY, I WAS PROUD TO DO IT AND SOME OF THE THINGS BECAUSE THE LEVEL OF POWER IS SO ENORMOUS, SO DANGEROUS AND SO BAD. WE MAKE THE BEST WEAPONS IN THE WORLD, WE'VE GOT A LOT OF THEM AND WE'VE GIVEN A LOT TO THESE FRANKLY. APPLAUSE

I MEAN BABY WOULD CALL ME SO MANY TIMES CAN YOU GET ME THIS WEAPON, THAT WEAPON, SOME OF THEM I NEVER HEARD OF. BUT WE WOULD GET THEM HERE, THEY ARE THE BEST. BUT YOU USE THEM WELL. IT ALSO TAKES PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO USE THEM. STRONG AND POWERFUL THAT LEAD TO PEACE. LETTUCE OR HOW THIS NIGHTMARE OF DEPRAVITY AND DEATH, TWO YEARS AGO THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT ISRAELI CIVILIANS WERE ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS, ONE OF THE MOST EVIL HEINOUS DESECRATION'S OF INNOCENT LIFE THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN THE WORST SLAUGHTER OF JEWS SINCE THE HOLOCAUST. THE CRUELTY OF OCTOBER 7 STRUCK TO THE CORE OF HUMANITY ITSELF. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MOURNED FOR HER CITIZENS WAS OFFICIALLY TAKEN THAT DAY -- VICIOUSLY TAKEN THAT DAY. LIVES WHO CHANGED THAT FOREVER CHANGED BY THAT ATROCITIES OF THAT DAY. PLEASE KNOW AMERICA JOINS YOU IN EVERLASTING VOWS, NEVER FORGET AND NEVER AGAIN. APPLAUSE

2SRAEL HAS BEEN 2 NATION AT WAR -- ENDURING BURNS ONLY BROWN BAIT FAT -- FAITHFUL PEOPLE WERE THERE. FOR SO MANY FAMILIES IN THE U.S. THIS LAND IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE YOU'VE KNOWN A SINGLE DAY OF TRUE PEACE AND NOW AT LAST NOT ONLY FOR THE ISRAELIS BUT ALSO FOR PALESTINIANS AND FOR MANY OTHERS, THE LONG AND PAINFUL NIGHTMARE IS FINALLY OVER. AND AS THE DUST SETTLES THE DEBRIS IS REMOVED AND THE ASHES FROM THE AIR THE DAY THAT BREAKS ON A REGION TRANSFORMED IN A BEAUTIFUL AND MUCH BRIGHTER FUTURE APPEAR SUDDENLY WITHIN YOUR REACH. THIS IS NOW A VERY EXCITING TIME. AND FORALL ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAS AND FORALL ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAF THE FORCES OF CHAOS, TERROR, AND RUIN THAT HAVE PLAGUED THE REGION FOR DECADES ARE WEAK, ISOLATED, TOTALLY DEFEATED. A NEW COALITION OF PROUD AND RESPONSIBLE NATIONS IS EMERGING AND BECAUSE OF US THE ENEMIES OF ALL CIVILIZATION ARE IN RETREAT. THANKS TO THAT BRAVERY AND THE INCREDIBLE SKILL OF THE ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES AND OPERATION RISING LION. APPLAUSE THAT'S CENTRAL CASTING, PUT HIM IN A MOVIE. LOOK AT HIM. GREAT JOB. MY PEOPLE LOVE WORKING WITH YOU. LOVED IT THEY WORKED SO WELL TOGETHER. MANY OF THE TOP IRANIAN TERRORISTS, INCLUDING NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS, COMMANDERS, THEY HAVE BEEN EXTINGUISHED FROM THIS EARTH. WITH OPERATION GOOD NIGHT HAMMER, BOY THAT IS A GREAT NAME. FOR THAT. BUT WE DID? FOR THAT. LAST YEAR. THE U.S. MILITARY FLEW SEVEN BEAUTIFUL B-2 BOMBERS. THEY LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL. SUDDENLY? IF SO BEAUTIFUL. ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY WERE PRETTY. ALWAYS. NO IDEA THEY COULD DO WHAT THEY DID. WE JUST ORDERED 28 MORE. UPDATED VERSION. WE UP -- WE ORDERED A WHOLE PILE. ALMOST 100 OTHER PLANES WENT WITH THEM, INCLUDING FIGHTER JETS. WE HAD 52 TANKERS, BIG, BEAUTIFUL, BRAND-NEW TANKERS. WE LOADED THEM UP FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. THEY CAN TRAVEL 37 HOURS BACK AND FORTH. WE HAD TANKERS ALL OVER THE SKY FOR THE OTHER PLANES. F 22, F-16. A HELL OF A LOT OF PLANES. SO, 52 GAS STATIONS IN THE SKY, THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL THEM. I WOULDN'T WANT TO FLY ONE OF THEM. GREAT GENERAL RAISING CAIN RIGHT HERE. GENERAL, STAND UP. THIS GUY. WHAT A GENERAL. APPLAUSE I ASKED THE GENERAL. I SAID, YOU KNOW, WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ISIS. I WAS IN WASHINGTON. I ASKED -- HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO DEFEAT ISIS AND MY WASHINGTON GENERALS TOLD ME, 3, 4, MAYBE FIVE YEARS, SIR. I SAID, I DON'T GET IT. WHY? BEST EQUIPMENT IN THE WORLD. WHY? I FLEW 2O 2RAQ 2ND 2ET WITH A MAN NAMED CAIN. I SAID WHAT IS YOUR FIRST NAME, HE SAID THEY CALL ME RAISIN. I SAID YOUR NAME IS RAISIN? I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR A LONG TIME. YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING. THEY TOLD ME 3, 4, FIVE YEARS TO DEFEAT ISIS. I SIT DOWN WITH HIM AND SAY WHY IS IT? I FLEW THERE. DARK OF NIGHT, I LAND. I'LL NEVER FORGET IT. QUITE A TRIP. BUT I MADE IT. BECAUSE I MET HIM. I SAID CAN I ASK YOU TO COME DOWN? HE STANDING WITH ANOTHER GENERAL. A SERGEANT. THEY COULD ALL BE IN A MOVIE RIGHT NOW. HIM YOU GUYS. COULD GET RICH MAKING MOVIES. OK? THEY GOT ALONG SO GREAT. THAT'S THE BEAUTIFUL THING. YOUR MILITARY, OUR MILITARY, GOT ALONG SO GREAT. I WAS TOLD BY THE TV GENERALS IN WASHINGTON THAT WE HAVE THE BEST EQUIPMENT IN THE WORLD, WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG? THEY SAID FOR YEARS. I SAID, LET ME ASK YOU, RAISIN. HOW LONG TO DEFEAT ISIS? SIR, THREE WEEKS. YOU WILL HAVE TIME LEFT OVER. I SAID GOT TO BE KIDDING, THE HELL YOU TALKING ABOUT? THEY SAID FOR YEARS. HE SAID WELL, SIR, NOT MY PLACE TO SAY, BUT YOU ARE ASKING ME THE QUESTION. WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS HIT THEM FROM THE WEST. HIT THEM FROM THE NORTH. HIT THEM FROM THE NORTH. HIT THEM ABOVE, HIT THEM BELOW. I SAID -- WHY DIDN'T THEY DO IT? HE DIDN'T WANT TO SPEAK BADLY OF HIS SUPERIORS. HARD TO BELIEVE, THEY WERE HIS SUPERIORS. SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE OTHER WAY AROUND. HE'S THE ONE THAT DID IT, THE OPERATION WAS FLAWLESS. IT WAS FLAWLESS. ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. I SAID, SO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN DO IT IN FOR WORKS? -- FOUR WEEKS? HE SAID, YES, SIR, WE HAVE TO DO IT DIFFERENTLY. THERE WAS ONE BASE THAT WAS HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY. I SAID WE HAVE ALL OF THESE BASES ALL OVER THE MIDDLE EAST, BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO USE THEM BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO OFFEND THE COUNTRY. THEY WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN KNOWN. RIGHT? THEY WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN. HE SAID NO, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DEFEND ANYBODY. OFFEND ANYBODY. FOR WEEKS. I SAID -- SURE ABOUT THAT? I'LL CALL YOU BACK. CALL YOU BACK MONDAY. GOING BACK TO WASHINGTON. YOU THINK FOUR WEEKS? YES, SIR. FOUR WEEKS. TIME LEFT OVER. CALLED HIM ON MONDAY. THINK YOU CAN DO IT? FOUR WEEKS. GO AHEAD AND DO IT. DID IT IN FOUR WEEKS. LESS THAN FOUR WEEKS. GENERAL, STAND UP, PLEASE. AGAIN. THIS IS A REAL GENERAL. THIS IS NOT A TELEVISION GENERAL . HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO ON TELEVISION. APPLAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO ON TELEVISION. THE OTHER GUYS LOVE IT. WE DROPPED 14 BOMBS ON IRAN. ORIGINALLY OBLITERATING THEM. IT'S BEEN CONFIRMED. EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS. TOGETHER WE STOPPED THE NUMBER ONE STATE SPONSOR OF TERROR FROM OBTAINING THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS WEAPONS. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IF WE HADN'T DONE THAT, AND ASSUMING THAT WE MADE THE SAME DEAL THAT WE HAVE TODAY, THERE WOULD BE A DARK CLOUD OVER THE DEAL. NUMBER ONE, IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN. THE OTHER ARAB AND MUSLIM NATIONS REALLY WOULDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE MAKING THE DEAL THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE, RIGHT? IF IRAN HAD THAT NUCLEAR WEAPON. WE WERE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AWAY FROM HAVING IT. MAYBE LESS THAN TWO MONTHS? THEY WERE RIGHT AT -- THIS WAS OUR LAST SHOT. THEY LOOK AT IT FOR 22 YEARS. LAST SHOT. THE PILOTS TOLD ME THAT. THEY SAID 22 YEARS, SIR. THEY LOOKED AT IT. OUR PREDECESSORS LOOKED AT IT. THEY 2AID 2E 2O 2RILLS 2N THAT THREE TIMES A YEAR. BOY, THEY GOT IT RIGHT. LET'S ASSUME THEY DIDN'T. LET'S ASSUME THERE WERE LARGE-SCALE NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE HANDS OF IRAN. WE COULDN'T BE HEREODAY. EVEN IF WE SIGNED THE DEAL THAT WE COULDN'T DO BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. WE TOOK A BIG CLOUD OFF OF THE MIDDLE EAST AND OFF OF ISRAEL. APPLAUSE IT'S IT WAS MY HONOR TO HELP. ISN'T IT TRUE, THOUGH? CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SAME? BIBI, IMAGINE EVERYTHING WAS THE SAME BUT YOU HAD SOMEBODY OUT THERE THAT WAS IN THE OPINION OF EVERYBODY, ALL POWERFUL IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THEY TOOK A BIG HIT, DIDN'T THEY? DIDN'T THEY TAKE A BIG HIT? BOY OH BOY, THEY GOT HIT FROM ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER. YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE GREAT? MAKE A PEACE DEAL. WOULD YOU BE HAPPY WITH THAT? WOULDN'T IT BE NICE? I THINK THEY WANT TO. I THINK THEY ARE TIRED. SOMEBODY SAID -- SIR, THEY ARE STARTING THE NUCLEAR PROGRAM AGAIN. I SAID, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, THEY WON'T START ANYTHING. THEY WANT TO SURVIVE. LAST THING THEY WANT TO DO IS START TO DIG HOLES IN MOUNTAINS THAT JUST GOT BLOWN UP. THEY'RE NOT DOING THAT. THEY WANT TO SURVIVE, OK? WE'VE GOT A CHANCE. STEVE, JARED, COME BACK FOR ANOTHER ONE. WE ALWAYS BRING JARED WHEN WE WANT TO BRING THE DEAL, GET IT CLOSED. YOU AND JARED, THE GENERAL, PETE, MARCO, YOU GET THAT DEAL DONE EASY. IT WILL BE EASY. FIRST, GOT TO GET RUSSIA DONE. GOT TO GET THAT DONE. STEVE, LET'S FOCUS ON RUSSIA FIRST. DON'T MIND? WE'LL GET IT DONE. 11 ON THE DAGGER OF HEZBOLLAH. LONG AIMED AT TH ISRAELI THROAT, TOTALLY SHATTERED. MY ADMINISTRATION IS ACTIVELY SUPPORTING THE NEW PRESIDENT OF LEBANON AND HIS MISSION TO PERMANENTLY DISARM THE HEZBOLLAH TERROR BRIGADE TO. BUILDING A THRIVING STATE AT PEACE WITH NEIGHBORS. YOU ARE VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF THAT, I KNOW. GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING THERE. REALLY GOOD THINGS. THIS WEEK WITH THE CEASE FIRE WE HAVE ACHIEVED IN THE MOST CHALLENGING BREAKTHROUGH OF THEM ALL. MOST CHALLENGING EVER. NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. BEEN A LOT -- BEEN INVOLVED IN LOTS OF SUCCESS, NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON TODAY ALL OVER THE WORLD. PEOPLE DANCING IN THE STREETS. NOT JUST IN ISRAEL. DANCING IN THE STREETS OF COUNTRIES THAT NEVER WOULD HAVE DANCED IN THE STREET ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY. DANCING IN THOSE STREETS. THEY ARE DANCING. APPLAUSE SO, THIS LONG DIFFICULT WAR HAS NOW ENDED. SOME PEOPLE SAY 3000 YEARS. SOME PEOPLE SAY 500 YEARS. WHATEVER. THE GRANDDADDY OF THEM ALL. IN AN UNPRECEDENTED ACHIEVEMENT, VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE REGION HAS ENDORSED THE PLAN. GAZA, IMMEDIATELY DEMILITARIZED. ISRAELI SECURITY WILL NO LONGER BE THREATENED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. APPLAUSE SO, ISRAEL, WITH OUR HELP, HAS BEEN THE WINNER OF ALL THEY CAN BY FORCE OF ARMS. HE WON. YOU ONE. NOW IT IS TIME TO TRANSLATE THESE VICTORIES AGAINST TERRORISTS ON THE BATTLEFIELD INTO THE ULTIMATE PREP -- PRIZE OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY FOR THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST. IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO ENJOY THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR. MR. OPPOSITION LEADER, LIKE I SAID, HE'S A VERY NICE OPPOSITION LEADER. HE'S A NICE MAN. BIBI, HE'S A NICE MAN. GOOD. HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. RIGHT? VERY NICE GUY. SEE, NOW YOU CAN BE A LITTLE BIT NICER, BIBI, YOU ARE NOT AT WAR ANYMORE, BIBI. LAUGHTER ONLY BY EMBRACING THE OPPORTUNITIES OF THE MOMENT CAN WE ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF ENSURING THAT THE HORRORS OF RECENT YEARS NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN. EIGHT YEARS AGO I CAME TO THIS REGION ON A SPECIAL FIRST TRIP ABROAD AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. IT WAS EARLY AND AT YOUR REQUEST, I ADDRESSED THE LEADERS OF THE ARAB AND MUSLIM WORLDS. GATHERED IN SAUDI ARABIA. SAID IT WAS TIME TO BUILD A FUTURE FREE OF THE GRIP OF EXTREMISM AND TERROR. INTERESTINGLY, RIGHT NOW AS SOON AS I'M FINISHED, I HAVE, AND YOU'VE CAP BE LATE, BETWEEN OPPOSITION AND BIBI'S BRILLIANT BUT VERY LONG SPEECH, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO RUN UP HERE AND MAKE A SPEECH IN HEAD TO EPT. IT DIDN'T WORK OUT THAT WAY. YOU MADE A PRETTY LONG 1, 2, SIR. LAUGHTER BUT I LIKED WHAT YOU ALL SAID. COULD BE WORSE. ON TOP OF IT SUPPOSE I DIDN'T LIKE IT. THAT WOULD BE NO GOOD, WOULD IT? RON, YOU DID A GREAT JOB, BY THE WAY. RON. APPLAUSE SO, I AM GOING TO BE MEETING IN A LITTLE WHILE, MEETING WITH THE MOST POWERFUL AND RICHEST NATIONS, REALLY, IN THE WORLD. HELPING WITH THE TERRACE OF THE UNITED STATES, BY FAR THE RICHEST. YOU READ THAT. THE RICHEST NATIONS, MOST POWERFUL NATIONS, YOU KNOW, TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS, HEADED BY TREMENDOUS PEOPLE IN MANY CASES. IN SOME CASES I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY ENDORSE, BUT I WILL TELL YOU SOME INCREDIBLE PEOPLE REALLY HELPED US MAKE THIS ALL POSSIBLE. SO, I WILL BE GOING THERE. IT WILL BE QUITE LATE. THEY MIGHTOT BE THERE WHEN I GET THERE. BUT WE GIVE IT A SHOT. THE JOURNEY THAT WE STARTED BACK THEN LED TO THE CRUSHING DEFEAT OF THE ISIS CALIPHATE. TO THE MONUMENTAL ABRAHAM ACCORDS. ULTIMATELY, TO THE HISTORIC CEASE FIRE THIS WEEK IN WHICH MANY OF THOSE SAME NATIONS REALLY PLAYED A PIVOTAL ROLE, I HAVE TO TELL YOU. STEVE WILL TELL YOU. JARED WILL TELL YOU. DID -- TOGETHER WE SHOW THAT PEACE ISN'T JUST A DREAM, I HOPE, IT'S A REALITY THAT WE CAN BUILD ON DAY BY DAY, PERSON BY PERSON, NATION BY NATION. BECAUSE OF THAT, THE MIDDLE EAST IS FINALLY READY TO EMBRACE THIS EXTRAORDINARY POTENTIAL. YOU HAVE EXTRAORDINARY POTENTIAL IN THE REGION. IT SHOULD BE CLEAR TO EVERYONE THROUGHOUT THE REGION THAT DECADES OF FOMENTING TERRORISM AND EXTREMISM, JIHAD IS HIM, ANTI-SEMITISM THEY HAVEN'T WORKED. HAVEN'T WORKED. BEEN A DISASTER. JUST KILLED. KILLED. BACKFIRED COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY. TOTALLY BACKFIRED. JUST TOTALLY. EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT. TAKE A WORST CASE, WORSE THAN THAT. THEY HAVEN'T WORKED. FROM GAZA TO IRAN. THE BITTER HATREDS HAVE DELIVERED NOTHING BUT MISERY AND SUFFERING, FAILURE AND DEATH. SERVING NOT TO WEAKEN ISRAEL, BUT 2NNIHILATE 2HE 2ORCES THAT DID THE MOST TO FOMENT HATRED. REALLY. EVERYBODY THAT HAS TRIED IT HAS BECOME IRRELEVANT. MEANWHILE, WE HAVE SEEN THE NATIONS THAT SET ACROSS -- SET ASIDE DIFFERENCES, THEY ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN THE REGION. THEY GET ALONG WITH ISRAEL. THEY DO GREAT. I CAN TELL YOU, THE FOUR NATIONS THAT JOINED THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS EARLY ON, YOU WOULD ALL BE DOING ME A FAVOR. I'LL BE SAYING THIS IN A LITTLE WHILE TO SOME OTHER FRIENDS, WE WOULD LOVE YOU ALL TO -- IS THIS RIGHT, JARED? JOIN UP IN THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS? JOIN UP AND GET TOGETHER. GOING TO HAVE THE WHOLE THING FILLED OUT. WE HAD A WEAK ADMINISTRATION. WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY BY FAR. BARACK OBAMA WAS NOT FAR BEHIND, BY THE WAY. THEY DID NOTHING WITH THIS INCREDIBLE DOCUMENT, ABRAHAM ACCORDS. NOW YOU CAN FILL THEM UP. YOU HAVE PEACE. YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT REALLY LIKE ISRAEL. I TELL YOU WHAT, THEY LIKE ISRAEL A LOT MORE TODAY THAN EVEN FIVE WEEKS AGO. YOU'VE MADE A LOT OF COMEBACKS. COME BACK STRONG. WAS GETTING NASTY OUT THERE IN THE WORLD. ULTIMATELY, THE WORLD WINS, YOU CAN'T BEAT THE WORLD. I WOULD SAY TO BIBI, BIBI, NOW IT'S TIME, AND HE UNDERSTOOD. BETTER THAN ANYBODY? WORLDS'S A BIG PLACE. I'VE SET A LOT. I SAID THIS PIECE OF LAND IS SMALL. UNBELIEVABLE. YOU KNOW IT. TINY. LOOK AT A MAP. NOT JUST THE WORLD, THE MIDDLE EAST. IT'S A LITTLE DOT. THINK OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. IT'S INCREDIBLE. IT'S INCREDIBLE. APPLAUSE BUT THE WORLD IS LOVING. THE WORLD IS LOVING. LOVING ISRAEL AGAIN. I SAID TO BIBI, YOU KNOW? THE WORLD, IT'S BIG. IT STRONG. ULTIMATELY, THE WORLD WINS. WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT NOW. IT WAS GETTING TO BE A TIME OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS WHERE THE WORLD WANTED PEACE AND ISRAEL WANTED PEACE. EVERYBODY DID. EVERYBODY DID. WHAT A VICTORY IT'S BEEN, RIGHT? WHAT A VICTORY. THREE OR FOUR MORE YEARS OF FIGHTING AND FIGHTING AND FIGHTING, IT WAS GETTING BAD. IT WAS GETTING HEATED. THE TIMING OF THIS IS BRILLIANT. I SAID BIBI, YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR THIS FAR MORE AT THAN IF YOU KEPT IT GOING, GOING, GOING. KILL, KILL, KILL, IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO SAY -- THAT'S IT, WE'VE ONE. NOW LET'S ENJOY OUR LIVES AND LET'S REBUILD ISRAEL AND MAKE IT STRONGER, BIGGER, BETTER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN BEFORE. YOU CAN DO THAT. IT TAKES GUTS. APPLAUSE CHOICE FOR PALESTINIANS? COULDN'T BE MORE CLEAR. THEIR CHANCE TO TURN FOREVER FROM THE PATH OF TERROR AND VIOLENCE. IT'S BEEN EXTREME. EXILING THE WICKED FORCES OF HATE IN THEIR MIDST. I THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I MET SOME PEOPLE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT WANT TO SEE IT HAPPEN VERY MUCH. AFTER TREMENDOUS PAIN, DEATH, AND HARDSHIP, NOW IS THE TIME TO CONCENTRATE ON BUILDING THEIR PEOPLE UP INSTEAD OF TRYING TO TEAR ISRAEL DOWN, YOU KNOW? DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE TOTAL FOCUS OF THE PEOPLE OF GAZA MUST BE ON RESTORING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF STABILITY, SAFETY, DIGNITY, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THE BETTER LIFE THAT THEIR CHILDREN DESERVE AFTER ALL OF THESE DECADES OF HORROR. I INTEND TO BE A PARTNER IN THIS EFFORT IN THE SENSE THAT WE ARE GOING TO HELP. WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING THAT BECAME UNBELIEVABLY POPULAR. EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE IN ON IT. IT'S CALLED THE BOARD OF PEACE, OK? HOW ABOUT THAT? A BEAUTIFUL NAME. RIGHT? A BOARD? PEACE? THE ONLY BAD THING, FROM MY STANDPOINT, EVERY SINGLE NATION INVOLVED HAS ASKED ME TO BE THE CHAIR. I WILL TELL YOU, I'M VERY BUSY. I DIDN'T COUNT ON THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT? IF WE DO IT, WE WILL DO IT RIGHT. YOU HAVE UNBELIEVABLE POWER AND WEALTH. YOU ARE GOING TO NEED WEALTH TO REBUILD THINGS. WE HAVE WEALTH LIKE ARAB AND MUSLIM NATIONS MADE A COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING A SAVORY BUILDING OF GAZA. BEYOND THAT, MANY ARAB COUNTRIES, WEALTHY COUNTRIES, THEY CAME UP AND SAID WE WILL PUT IT UP. TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY. GETTING IT REBUILT. REBUILT. REBUILDING GAZA. I THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. POWER? DIGNITY. WANT TO GIVE THEM FORWARD. THEY WANT TO SAY IT. I WANT TO SAY WHO THEY ARE. WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS I THINK SOMETHING YOU WILL BE VERY IMPRESSED WITH, BIBI. YOU NEED THAT. YOU NEED THE KIND OF ECONOMIC POWER THEY HAVE AND THEY WANT TO SEE IT WORK. THEY WANT TO SEE IT BE SAFE AND SEE IT BE GOOD FOR ISRAEL, TOO. AS MUCH MONEY AS IT WILL BE, AND IT IS A LOT, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S A LOT, FOR THESE COUNTRIES IT'S RELATIVELY LITTLE. RELATIVE TO THEIR WORTH. IT'S A LOT OF MONEY, LIKE MONEY LIKE MOST PEOPLE COULD NEVER EVEN CONCEIVED. BUT FOR THESE COUNTRIES IT'S NOT MUCH. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT ENSURES SUCCESS AND STABILITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST, WHICH IS WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE. SO, MANY OF THEM WILL BE IN EGYPT WITH US IN A LITTLE WHILE. I THINK? NOT SURE. COULD BE GONE? THEY COULD HAVE TAKEN THEIR JETS AND LEFT. I SAID -- WHAT KIND OF A PLANE DO YOU FLY? 747? I SAID, THAT'S A LARGE PLANE. STEVE, DO YOU THINK THEY HAVE LEFT ON THEIR BRAND-NEW PLANES? I DON'T KNOW. WE WILL FIND OUT SOON. IT'LL BE A BIG STORY. THERE WILL BE TWO PEOPLE LEFT. THEY WILL BE THE POOREST ONES. CHUCKLING BUT IT WILL BE, IT WILL BE THE WEALTHIEST. THE MOST POWERFUL GROUP OF NATIONS. THE GROUP WE ASSEMBLED A. IT'S THE WEALTHIEST AND MOST POWERFUL GROUP EVER ASSEMBLED AT ONE TIME. NEVER BEEN A GROUP LIKE THIS. THEY ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR GOOD. THEY WANT GOOD. GOING TO DO GOOD TO. THOSE COMMITMENTS THAT ARE MADE, I'M GOING TO LET THE WORLD KNOW WHO IS DOING IT. THEY REALLY DESERVE TO GET THE CREDIT. SOME OF THEM WON'T WANT THE CREDIT. BUT THEY DESERVE IT. IT'S MORE OBVIOUS THAN EVER THAT THE PRODUCTIVE AND RESPONSIBLE NATIONS OF THIS REGION SHOULD NOT BE ENEMIES OR ADVERSARIES. SHOULD BE PARTNERS, EVENTUALLY FRIENDS. THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I KNOW IT. TOGETHER YOU CAN STAND AGAINST CHAOS. YOU GO AHEAD. THAT'S IMPORTANT. APPLAUSE BECAUSE YOU CAN STAND AGAINST THE FORCES OF CHAOS THAT THREATENED ALL OF YOUR INTERESTS. IT'S ALWAYS A BIG THREAT. ALWAYS A BIG THREAT. YOU CAN UNLEASH INCREDIBLE PROSPERITY AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND. THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. UNLEASHING NUMBERS AND SUCCESS THE LIKES OF WHICH ISRAEL HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO THINK OF. BECAUSE YOU ARE SO FIRM. YOU SHOULD BE. YOU HAVE DONE THE RIGHT 2HING IN DEFENDING YOURSELF. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO WORRY SO MUCH. YOU WON. YOU CAN BUILD. DO THINGS YOU NEVER EVEN THOUGHT POSSIBLE. PUT THE GENIUS INTO DOING SOMETHING ELSE. IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S A MIRACLE. A MIRACLE IN THE DESERT. AMAZING. ALREADY IS, IN A TRUE SENSE. IT WILL BE WONDERFUL TO SPEND TIME THINKING ABOUT OTHER THAN WAR, DEFENSE, OFFENSE. TO THAT END, IT IS MY FIRM HOPE. DREAM, FRANKLY, THAT TOGETHER THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS WILL TURN OUT TO BE EVERYTHING THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD. THAT THOSE FOUR COUNTRIES WERE VERY BRAVE IN DOING IT. THEY DID IT AT AN EARLY POINT. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM BENEFITS UNBELIEVABLY FINANCIALLY. DID YOU NOTICE? EVEN IN THE BAD DREAM THAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH, THEY ALL REMAINED MEMBERS OF THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS. THEY HAVE DONE UNBELIEVABLY WELL. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. I WANT TO THANK YOU. APPLAUSE THEY'VE STAYED TO BECAUSE OF LOYALTY. THEY ALSO STAY BECAUSE IT WAS GOOD BUSINESS. THEY MADE A LOT OF MONEY BEING IN THAT PERCENT. I HOPE THAT EVERYONE, I HOPE EVERY ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES THAT WE ARE SEEKING, JARED, I HOPE THEY JOIN QUICKLY. NO GAMES. NO NOTHING. JOIN, GET IN. GREAT PEACEMAKER. GOING TO BRING IT TOGETHER BEYOND ANY, ANYBODY'S WHILE THE STREAMS. INSTEAD OF BUILDING FORTRESSES TO KEEP ENEMIES AT BAY, THE NATIONS OF THIS REGION SHOULD BE BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE TO WEAVE YOUR COMMERCE CLOSER TOGETHER. YOU'VE GOT TO COMPETE WITH A BIG WORLD OUT THERE WITH COMMERCE NOW. DIFFERENT KIND OF COMPETITION. INSTEAD OF MAKING WEAPONS AND MISSILES, THE WEALTH OF THIS REGION SHOULD FLOW TO SCHOOLS, INDUSTRY, AND THE NEW HOT THING, FRANKLY, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. IT'S, BOY IT'S A LOT OF INTELLIGENCE YOU HAVE TO THROW TO PAY BACK THESE SUMS OF MONEY THEY ARE DOING. THAT'S A HOT ONE. I MIGHT SAY THE UNITED STATES A YEAR AGO, IT WAS A DEAD COUNTRY. I SAY IT TO PEOPLE. I HEARD IT FROM SAUDI ARABIA. I HEARD IT FROM UAE. I HEARD IT FROM QATAR. I HEARD IT FROM MANY OTHER COUNTRIES. A YEAR AGO, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS DEAD. NOW IT'S THE HOTTEST COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. THE HOTTEST. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. IN FACT, IF YOU GO BACK A YEAR AGO, BEFORE THE ELECTION -- ALTHOUGH NOVEMBER 5, WE BECAME HOT. PEOPLE GOT IT. NOVEMBER 5. THAT WAS THE TIME WE BECAME HOT. GO BACK. COUPLE OF YEARS? WHEN I'M IN CHARGE, THE COUNTRY -- NO ONE ASKED ME TO SPEAK. NOBODY ASKED JOE TO SPEAK. I GUARANTEE YOU. IF HE DID, WOULD'VE TURNED THEM DOWN. PROMISE YOU. DIDN'T SPEAK. DIDN'T SPEAK WELL. ALL THE COUNTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. COULD HAVE. WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW? COULD'VE HAPPENED. LONG TIME AGO. STRANGLED. SETBACK IRRETRIEVABLY BY THE ADMINISTRATIONS OF OBAMAND BIDEN. HATRED. HATRED OF ISRAEL. ABSOLUTE HATRED. SETBACKS. THEY STARTED WHEN OBAMA SIGNED THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL. DISASTER FOR ISRAEL. DISASTER FOR EVERYONE. I REMEMBER. NETANYAHU CAME TO THE UNITED STATES, WORK HARD TO GET OBAMA TO NOT DO THE DEAL. WORKED SO HARD. BUT IT WAS LIKE TALKING TO A WALL. HE TOLD ME THAT. LIKE TALKING TO A WALL. THEY WANTED IRAN. THEY CHOSE IRAN OVER A LOT OF OTHER GOOD NATIONS. SPECIFICALLYAEL. THAT 2AS 2HE 2EGINNING OF VERY BAD TIMES. YOU HAD OBAMA. WENT OUT. IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL TURNED OUT TO BE A DISASTER. BY THE WAY, I TERMINATED THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL. I WAS VERY PROUD TO DO IT. APPLAUSE EVEN IRAN, WHOSE REGIME HAS INFLICTED SO MUCH DEATH ON THE MIDDLE EAST, THE HAND OF FRIENDSHIP AND COOPERATION IS OPEN. I'M TELLING YOU, THEY WANT TO MAKE A DEAL. THAT'S ALL I DO IN LIFE. I MAKE DEALS. GOOD AT IT. ALWAYS BEEN GOOD AT IT. I KNOW WHAT THEY WANT. EVEN IF THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE A DEAL, I CAN TELL YOU THEY WANT TO MAKE A DEAL, ALRIGHT? THEY WANT TO. WE WILL SEE IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING. IT'S CRAZY WHAT'S HAPPENING. WE WON'T HAVE THIS ANYMORE. NEITHER THE UNITED STATES OR ISRAEL BEAR THE PEOPLE OF THOSE COUNTRIES ANY HOSTILITY. WE WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE. WE WANT NO LOOMING THREATS OVER OUR HEADS. WE DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK IN TERMS OF NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION. WON'T HAPPEN. NEVER HAPPEN. NOTHING WOULD DO MORE GOOD FOR THIS PART OF THE WORLD THAN FOR THOSE LEADERS TO RENOUNCE TERRORISM. STOP THREATENING NEIGHBORS. PUT FUNDING MILITANT PROXIES. FINALLY, RECOGNIZE THE RIGHT FOR ISRAEL TO EXIST. THEY HAVE TO DO THAT. TWO IRAN, AND AS YOU KNOW, THERE IS NO WEAKNESS. BUT I WILL SAY THIS. WE ARE READY WHEN YOU ARE. AND IT WILL BE THE BEST DECISION THAT IRAN HAS EVER MADE AND IT WILL HAPPEN. GOING TO HAPPEN. GOOD PEOPLE. I KNOW A LOT OF IRANIANS IN THE UNITED STATES, GOOD PEOPLE, SMART, HARD-WORKING PEOPLE. THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THEIR COUNTRY. THE STORY OF FEARS IS REALLY RESOLVED AND TRIUMPHS SINCE OCTOBER 7 SHOULD BE PROOF TO THE ENTIRE WORLD THAT THOSE WHO SEEK TO DESTROY THIS NATION ARE DOOMED TO BITTER FAILURE. THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS STRONG, AND IT WILL LIVE AND THRIVE FOREVER. APPLAUSE AND THAT IS WHY ISRAEL WILL ALWAYS REMAIN A VITAL ALLY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. ISRAELIS SHARE OUR VALUES, FIELD ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL MILITARIES. YOU REALLY DO. WHAT A JOB YOU'VE DONE. HAVE ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE ECONOMIES ON EARTH. THOSE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE REASONS WHY I'M PROUD TO BE THE BEST FRIEND THAT ISRAEL HAS EVER HAD. THEY ALL SAY IT IN THE WHITE HOUSE. THEY ALL SAY IT. I GUESS IT IS TRUE BECAUSE EVERYONE SAYS IT. BP, YOU SAID IT TODAY, THANK YOU. AS PRESIDENT, I TERMINATED THE DISASTROUS NUCLEAR DEAL AND ULTIMATELY TERMINATED IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM WITH THINGS CALLED B-2 BOMBERS. IT WAS SWIFT AND IT WAS ACCURATE AND IT WAS A MITARY BEAUTY. I AUTHORIZED THE SPENDING OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WHICH WENT TO ISRAEL'S DEFENSE COME AS YOU KNOW. APPLAUSE AND AFTER YEARS OF BROKEN PROMISES FROM ANY OTHER AMERICAN PRESIDENTS. YOU KNOW THAT. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD IT UNTIL I GOT THERE. A LOT OF PRESSURE PUT ON THESE PRESIDENTS. ME, TOO, BUT I DIDN'T YIELD TO THE PRESSURE. PRESIDENTS FOR DECADES SAID THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IT. THE DIFFERENCE IS I KEPT MY PROMISE AND OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL AND MOVED THE AMERICAN EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM. APPLAUSE ISN'T THAT RIGHT, MIRIAM? LOOK AT MIRIAM. SHE IS BACK THERE. STAND UP. STAND UP. MIRIAM AND SHELDON WOULD COME INTO THE OFFICE, THEY WOULD CALL ME. I THINK THEY HAD MORE TRIPS TO THE WHITE HOUSE THAN ANYBODY ELSE. LOOK AT HER SITTING THERE SO INNOCENTLY. SHE HAS $60 BILLION IN THE BANK. $60 BILLION. I THINK SHE IS SAYING, NO, MORE. SHE LOVES ISRAEL, AND THEY WOULD COME IN. HER HUSBAND IS A VERY AGGRESSIVE MAN BUT I LOVE 10. VERY SUPPORTIVE OF ME. HE WOULD CALL UP, CAN I COME OVER AND SEE YOU? SHELDON, I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. HE WOULD COME IN. THEY WERE VERY RESPONSIBLE FOR SO MUCH INCLUDING GETTING ME THINKING ABOUT GOING ON HEIGHTS WHICH IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS EVER TO HAPPEN. MIRIAM, STAND UP, PLEASE. SHE REALLY IS. SHE LOVES THIS COUNTRY. APPLAUSE SHE LOVES THIS COUNTRY, HER AND HER HUSBAND. SO INCREDIBLE. WE MISS HIM SO DEARLY. I'M GOING TO GET HER IN TROUBLE WITH THIS. I SAID, MIRIAM, I KNOW YOU LOVE ISRAEL. WHAT DO YOU LOVE MORE, THE UNITED STATES OR ISRAEL? SHE REFUSED TO ANSWER. THAT MIGHT MEAN ISRAEL. WE LOVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THAT IS A GREAT HONOR. WONDERFUL WOMAN. SHE IS A GREAT WOMAN. I HAVE ALWAYS STOOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY, AND I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU. I GUESS MAYBE SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN TO CHANGE MY MIND. SOMEBODY THAT IS REALLY STUPID GET INTO OFFICE AND WANTS TO DO REALLY BAD THINGS, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT, AND I HOPE WE DON'T HAVE THAT HAPPEN. THIS MAN IS A GOOD MAN HERE. THESE TWO MEN ARE GOOD MEN HERE. APPLAUSE I HAVE AN IDEA. MR. PRESIDENT, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE HIM A PARDON? CHEERS AND APPLAUSE COME ON. CHEERS AND APPLAUSE BY THE WAY, THIS WAS NOT IN THE SPEECH, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW. BUT I HAPPEN TO LIKE THIS GENTLEMAN OVER HERE. ITUST SEEMS TO MAKE SO MUCH SENSE. WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE GREATEST WARTIME PRESIDENTS. AND CIGARS AND CHAMPAGNE, WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT IT? APPLAUSE ALL RIGHT. ENOUGH CONTROVERSY FOR THE DAY, RIGHT? ACTUALLY, I DON'T THINK IT IS VERY CONTROVERSIAL. SO POPULAR. YOU ARE A VERY POPULAR MAN. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW TO WIN. CHEERS AND APPLAUSE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, I'VE MET MANY OF THE FAMILIES OF THE ISRAELIS TAKEN HOSTAGE, THOSE THAT WERE TAKEN HOSTAGE. UNBELIEVABLE. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THEIR EYES AND SEEN THE WORST NIGHTMARES OF THEIR SUFFERING, BUT I'VE ALSO SEEN SOMETHING ELSE, THE BEAUTIFUL LOVE OF THE PEOPLE. THE LOVE OF PEOPLE WHO FRANKLY HOLD THINGS TOGETHER, THE LOVE THEY GIVE YOU THE COURAGE TO CARRY ON FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF PERSECUTION AND REPRESSION, AND TO EMERGE WITH THE HEART OF DAVID, THE HEART OF DAVID. IT IS THAT LOVE THAT DEFEATED THE ENEMIES OF CIVILIZATIONS, BUILT THIS INCREDIBLE COUNTRY, THIS UNBELIEVABLE ECONOMY, AND FORGED ONE OF THE GREAT DEMOCRACIES OF THE WORLD. THAT IS WHY IT'S A TRUE HONOR TO STAND HERE TODAY AND ADDRESS THIS ASSEMBLY IN YOUR ANCIENT AND ETERNAL NOW CAPITAL JERUSALEM. PROUD TO HAVE HELPED IN THAT REGARD. THE CITY AND THIS NATION STAND IS LIVING PROOF THAT A MUCH BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR THIS ENTIRE REGION IS TRULY WITHIN OUR GRASP. FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, JERUSALEM HAS BEEN A HOME TO CHRISTIANS, JEWS, MUSLIMS, PEOPLE OF ALL ETHNICITIES AND FAITHS. THIS IS THE HOLY CENTER OF THE WORLD'S THREE GREAT ABRAHAMIC FAITHS. I LIKE THAT, TOO. FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THAT WORD IN A WHILE. ADORNED WITH THEIR SACRED SITES AND ALLIED WITH THEIR PILGRIMS AND VISITORS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE. BUT HERE BETWEEN THE WESTERN WALL, THE TEMPLE MOUNT, AND THE HILL CALLED CAVALRY, PEOPLE OF EVERY FAITH AND BACKGROUND LIVE, WORK, PRAY, SERVE, AND RAISE THEIR FAMILIES SIDE-BY-SIDE, AND THEY DO IT WITH LOVE. THIS EXAMPLE IS JUST ONE OF THE MODERN MIRACLES THAT ISRAEL HAS GIVEN TO THE WORLD. JUST IN CLOSING, THE LEADERS IN THIS CHAMBER KNOW ANYONE BETTER THAN ELSE THE CHALLENGES OF THIS HARMONY. IT HAS BEEN EASILY WON. NO, IT HASN'T. IT HAS BEEN SO TOUGH. BUT SOME SAY IT HAS BEEN A MIRACLE. WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IS A MIRACLE. LOOK AT YOUR SIZE, LOOK AT YOUR CHANCES WHEN IT ALL STARTED. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, YOU ARE SAFER TODAY, STRONGER TODAY, AND MORE RESPECTED TODAY THAN ANY OTHER TIME IN THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL. THINK ABOUT IT. APPLAUSE PEOPLE USED TO SAY IT WOULDN'T EXIST. THEY DON'T SAY THAT ANYMORE, DO THEY? IF SAFETY, SECURITY, AND COEXISTENCE CAN SURVIVE HERE IN THE WINDING ALLEYS AND ANCIENT PASSAGES OF JERUSALEM, SURELY PEACE AND RESPECT CAN SPREAD OUT AMONG THE BROADER NATIONS OF THE MIDDLE EAST. THE GUY WHO ONCE DWELLED AS PEOPLE AMONG THIS CITY STILL CALLS US COME IN THE WORD OF SCRIPTURE, TURN FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD TO SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT. HE STILL WHISPERS TRUTH INTO THE HILLS AND VALLEYS OF THIS MAGNIFICENT CREATION, AND HE STILL WRITES HOPE INTO THE HEARTS OF HIS CHILDREN ALL OVER THE WORLD. AND THAT IS BY EVEN AFTER 3000 YEARS OF PAIN AND CONFLICT, THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL HAVE NEVER GIVEN UP FROM THE THREATS OF ZIONISM, ALL SORTS OF THREATS. YOU WANT THE PROMISE OF ZION. YOU WANT THE PROMISE OF ZION. YOU WANT THE PROMISE OF SUCCESS AND HOPE AND LOVE AND GOD. AND THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA HAVE NEVER LOST FAITH OF THE PROMISE OF THE GREAT AND BLESSED FUTURE FOR ALL OF US. FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY THAT MODERN ISRAEL WAS FOUNDED, WE HAVE STOOD TOGETHER THROUGH THICK AND THIN, SETBACKS AND VICTORY, DEFEAT, THROUGH GLORY AND HEARTACHE. WE HAVE BUILT INDUSTRIES TOGETHER. WE HAVE MADE DISCOVERIES TOGETHER. WE HAVE CONFRONTED PEOPLE TOGETHER. WE HAVE WAGED WAR TOGETHER. PERHAPS MOST BEAUTIFULLY OF ALL, WE HAVE MADE PEACE TOGETHER. THIS WEEK, AGAINST ALL ODDS, WE HAVE DONE THE IMPOSSIBLE AND BROUGHT OUR HOSTAGES HOME. APPLAUSE SO NOW, WE ARE GOING TO FORGE A FUTURE THAT IS WORTHY OF OUR HERITAGE. WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A LEGACY THAT ALL THE PEOPLE OF THIS REGION CAN BE PROUD OF BEING NEW BONDS OF FRIENDSHIP, COOPERATION, AND COMMERCE WILL JOIN TEL AVIV, HAIFA TO BEIRUT, JERUSALEM TO DAMASCUS, AND FROM ISRAEL TO EGYPT, SAUDI ARABIA TO QATAR, FROM INDIA TO PAKISTAN, FROM INDONESIA TO ERECT, FROM SYRIA TO BAHRAIN, TURKEY TO JORDAN, THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES TO OMAN, ARMENIA TO AZERBAIJAN -- ANOTHER WORD THAT I JUST SETTLED -- WE ARE GOING TO HAVE HOPE, OPPORTUNITY, AND HARMONY IN THE SPIRITUAL AND GEOGRAPHIC CENTER OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. THAT IS WHEN YOU ARE. ISRAEL, AMERICA, ALL THE NATIONS OF THE MIDDLE EAST WILL SOON BE SAFER, STRONGER, GREATER, AND MORE PROSPEROUS THAN EVER BEFORE. APPLAUSE AND I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN FOR THIS EXCEPTIONAL HONOR. THIS HAS TRULY BEEN AN HONOR. SELDOM THAT A PRESIDENT IS INVITED TO DO THIS. I LOVE ISRAEL. I AM WITH YOU ALL THE WAY. YOU WILL BE BIGGER, BETTER, STRONGER, AND MORE LOVING THAN EVER BEFORE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND GOD BLESS THE MIDDLE EAST. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. GOOD LUCK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. APPLAUSE THANK YOU.

WE SET OUT TO DEFEND OUR PEOPLE, TO DEFEAT OUR ENEMIES, AND TO RELEASE OUR HOSTAGES, OUR HEROIC SOLDIERS. FOUGHT LIKE LIONS. THEY FOUGHT ON THE FRONT OF CIVILIZATION AND BARBARISM. ISRAEL ACHIEVED AMAZING VICTORIES OVER HAMAS AND THE ENTIRE IRAN TERROR AXIS. SINWAR THEREFORE, NEAR NASRALLAH. ASSAD THEY'RE ALL GONE.

BUT WHEN WE FORMED THE STATE, ISRAEL AND THE ARMY OF ISRAEL, WE PLEDGED NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN WOULD BE AGAINST OUR ENEMIES ENEMIES. AND THAT THAT RESOLUTE STRENGTH NOT ONLY ASSURES OUR SURVIVAL. IT ASSURES OUR FUTURE. IT ASSURES PEACE. WE HAVE PAID WE'VE PAID A HIGH PRICE FOR THIS WAR. BUT OUR ENEMIES NOW UNDERSTAND JUST HOW POWERFUL AND JUST HOW DETERMINED ISRAEL IS. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT ATTACKING ON OCTOBER 7TH WAS A CATASTROPHIC MISTAKE. THEY UNDERSTAND THAT ISRAEL IS STRONG AND THAT ISRAEL IS HERE TO STAY. AND THIS, MR. PRESIDENT, IS THE INDISPENSABLE FOUNDATION OF PEACE. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS IS A MOMENTOUS DAY, A DAY OF GREAT JOY AS THE REMAINING HOSTAGES COME HOME. MY WIFE, SARAH AND I HAVE MET WITH THE HOSTAGE FAMILIES. MANY TIMES. THERE WERE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THEIR AGONY, ONLY TEARS OF BOTTOMLESS SORROW AND UNIMAGINABLE PAIN AT THE BEGINNING THE WAR. I PROMISED TO BRING THE HOSTAGES HOME. TODAY, WITH THE INDISPENSABLE HELP, THE DETERMINED AND FOCUSED HELP, THE UNREMITTING HELP OF PRESIDENT TRUMP, HIS ESTEEM, AND WITH INCREDIBLE SACRIFICE AND COURAGE OF THE SOLDIERS OF ISRAEL, WE ARE FULFILLING THAT PROMISE. IT HAS BEEN A LONG JOURNEY TO GET HERE. IN THE FIRST WEEK OF THE WAR. OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS PUT MILITARY PRESSURE ON HAMAS AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, PUT DIPLOMATIC PRESSURE ON THEM. THIS ENABLED US TO SECURE THE RELEASE OF OVER 100 HOSTAGES IN HEROIC RESCUE ATTEMPTS BEHIND ENEMY LINES. ISRAEL'S SPECIAL FORCES RESCUED EIGHT LIVE HOSTAGES AND BROUGHT BACK REMAINS OF A DOZENS MORE. BUT AS TIME WENT ON, WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THE DIPLOMATIC PRESSURE WAS TURNED ITS HEAD. MORE AND MORE GOVERNMENTS BOUGHT INTO HAMAS FALSE PROPAGANDA. MORE AND MORE GOVERNMENTS SUCCUMB TO ANTI-SEMITIC MOBS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES. THEY JUST TURNED ON ISRAEL. THEY CALLED FOR US TO SURRENDER TO HAMAS DEMANDS TO LEAVE GAZA. THEY SAID END THE WAR WITHOUT COMMITTING TO DISARM, WITHOUT COMMITTING TO DEMILITARIZE GAZA. AND ISRAEL SUCCUMBED TO THOSE DEMANDS. NOT ONLY WOULD SINWAR OR NASRALLAH, ASSAD AND IRAN'S MISSILE AND NUCLEAR PROGRAM REMAIN INTACT. NOT ONLY THAT BECAUSE IN NO TIME, THE HAMAS KILLERS WOULD BE BACK ON THE BORDER FENCE, READY? REPEAT THE HORRORS OF OCTOBER 7TH AGAIN AND AGAIN AS. THEY VOWED TO DO. BUT JUST AT THAT POINT, JUST AT THAT POINT OF MAXIMUM PRESSURE, ISRAEL, A MAN NAMED DONALD J. TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, OVERNIGHT, OVERNIGHT, EVERYTHING CHANGED. EVERYTHING. WE FELT IS RIGHT HERE. MR. PRESIDENT, THANKS TO YOUR UNEQUIVOCAL BACKING OF ISRAEL, WE SECURED A SECOND HOSTAGE. YOU WITHIN WEEKS OF YOUR ELECTION AND THE MONTHS THAT FOLLOWED, WE CLOSELY TOGETHER TO A PATH TO BRING THE REMAINING HOSTAGES AND END THE WAR AND WAR IN A WAY THAT ENSURES THE DISARMING OF HAMAS THE DEMILITARIZATION OF GAZA, AND THAT GAZA WOULD NEVER AGAIN POSE A THREAT TO ISRAEL. TWO MONTHS AGO, YOU FULLY BACKED MY DECISION TO SEND THE IDF INTO THE LAST HAMAS STRONG IN GAZA CITY. YOU SHARED MY VIEW THAT THIS MILITARY WOULD HELP FREE THE HOSTAGES. AND DESPITE ALL THE CRITICISM, ALL THE NAYSAYERS, WE WERE RIGHT. HAMAS CAVED IN. AND TWO WEEKS AGO, YOU SUCCEEDED IN DOING. MIRACULOUS. YOU SUCCEEDED IN DOING THAT. NO ONE BELIEVE WAS POSSIBLE. YOU BROUGHT MOST OF THE ARAB WORLD. YOU DID. YOU BROUGHT MOST OF THE WORLD BEHIND YOU. A PROPOSAL TO FREE THE HOSTAGES AND END THE WAR. I WANT TO THANK STEVE WYCKOFF. JARED KUSHNER AND RON DERMER FOR THEIR GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO THIS EFFORT. AND I WANT TO THANK OUR NEGOTIATING TEAM. I BELIEVE THAT THE CLOSE COOPERATION BETWEEN THE TWO OF US, BETWEEN OUR TWO NATIONS COMBINING ISRAEL'S MILITARY PRESSURE AND PRESIDENT TRUMP'S UN BADGE, GLOBAL LEADERSHIP. I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF AMERICAN PRESENCE SEND THEM ALL AND THE TIME THAT I'VE BEEN HERE AND I'VE BEEN HERE QUITE A LOT OF TIME. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE MOVE THE WORLD SO QUICKLY, SO DECISIVELY, SO RESOLUTELY. AS OUR FRIEND, PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. WITH OUR MILITARY PRESSURE AND PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP, WE ACHIEVED THIS HISTORIC MOMENT. IT'S A MOMENT OF INTRASQUAD JOY AS OUR NATION EMBRACES OUR SONS WHO ARE COMING HOME. MR. PRESIDENT, THIS. -- AROUND, THE WORLD, -- AROUND THE WORLD ARE GOING TO THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES SIX KAHIL. IT'S IN THE BIBLE BIBLE. THE BIBLE HAS MANY MIRACULOUS MOMENTS. ONE OF THEM WAS YOUR DECISION. TO BOMB FORDO. I THINK IT WAS A PIVOT HISTORY BECAUSE WASN'T MEANT ONLY TO BOMB FORDO. THAT ACTION AND YOUR PREVIOUS. ACTION OF TAKING QASSEM SOLEIMANI, THE ARCHITECT OF DEATH. I THINK THAT CHANGED THE BALANCE OF POWER IN THE WORLD. YOU BROUGHT AMERICA BACK AGAIN TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT. NOW, I SAID THAT WE'RE GOING TO READ THIS, THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES. IT HAS. IT'S NOT A BOOK OF ACTION. IT'S A BOOK OF MEDITATIONS OF THOUGHT, A PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE AND ON DEATH. AND IN THIS BOOK, WE READ THE IMMORTAL WORDS OF KING SOLOMON TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON AND A TIME FOR EVERY MATTER UNDER HEAVEN. ETERNAL HAMMER THE EARTH, SHALOM, A TIME FOR PEACE AND A TIME FOR WAR THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE BEEN A TIME OF WAR. THE COMING YEARS WILL HOPEFULLY BE TIME FOR PEACE. PEACE INSIDE ISRAEL AND OUTSIDE ISRAEL. I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING AND MARCHING WITH YOU ON THE PATH WE PAVED TOGETHER WITH THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP, WE CAN FORGE NEW PEACE TREATIES WITH ARAB COUNTRIES, THE REGION AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES. BEYOND THE REGION. ABRAHAM'S CHILDREN WILL WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD A BETTER FUTURE, A FUTURE THAT WILL UNITE CIVILIZATION AGAINST BARBARISM, LIGHT AGA DARKNESS AND HOPE AGAINST DESPAIR. AND MY FRIENDS, I BELIEVE THAT WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP'S LEADERSHIP, THIS WILL HAPPEN A FASTER THAN PEOPLE THINK. AS PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL, I EXTEND MY HAND TO HOLD THOSE WHO SEEK PEACE WITH US. NO ONE WANTS PEACE MORE THAN THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. ISRAEL WILL ALWAYS REMAIN VIGILANT IN DEFENDING ITSELF AND ISRAEL WILL ALWAYS REMAIN FULL OF HOPE. HOPE IS OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM. HOPE IS OUR CREED. HOPE IS OUR STRENGTH. IT IS TIME, MY FRIENDS, TO REALIZE THAT HOPE AND EXPAND THE CIRCLE OF PEACE. MR. PRESIDENT, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE FOR US. I HAVE SUBMITTED YOUR NOMINATION TO BE THE FIRST NON-ISRAELI RECIPIENT OF THE ISRAEL PRIZE, ISRAEL'S HIGHEST AWARD. AS TO THAT OTHER PRIZE, JUST A QUESTION OF TIME. YOU'LL GET IT. BUT I WANT YOU TO GET THE ISRAEL PRIZE. OUR HIGHEST AWARD TO OUR GREATEST FRIENDS. WILL WHEN OTHERS WILL REACH YOUR STRONG. WHEN OTHERS WERE FEARFUL, YOU WERE BOLD. WHEN OTHERS ABANDONED US, YOU STOOD BY OUR SIDE. ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT AND OF ISRAEL, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXTRAORDINARY FRIENDSHIP. THANK YOU FOR HELPING BRING OUR HOSTAGES HOME. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ISRAEL'S MARCH TO VICTORY. THANK YOU FOR PAVING PATH TO PEACE. NOBODY IN ISRAEL TO TO BEAT IT. HONORARY WELCOME TO ISRAEL SHALOM. WELCOME TO JERUSALEM BARBARISM. AMID ALLEGATIONS. WELCOME PIANO. THE KEY MAN HOLDING THE BEGIN VIOLIN AS IT IS TO THIS DAY. MAY GOD BLESS AND YOUR FAMILY. MR. PRESIDENT. MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAY GOD BLESS ISRAEL. AND MAY GOD BLESS THE COVENANT BETWEEN OUR TWO PROMISED LANDS. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. AFTER A YEAR, THE FORMER AUTHORITIES. BUT YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER THAT YOU. THE PRESIDENT. WHERE. YOU KNOW. COME ON UP. OPPOSITION AND COMMON OPPOSITION TO. AN AMICABLE LAST MINUTE. IT WAS SO POSITIVE HOW CAN I SIT HERE? LAPID. LET'S DO SOME. THANK YOU. MR. SPEAKER. MEMBERS OF KNESSET MINISTERS PRESIDENT HERZOG. BY MR. NETANYAHU, DISTINGUISHED GUESTS YOUR EXCELLENCY, PRESIDENT TRUMP TRUMP FOR TWO YEARS WE WAITED THIS MOMENT. TWO YEARS OF SLEEP. THIS WHILE OTHERS SPOKE OF DIFFICULTIES, YOU CREATED OPPORTUNITY. YOU CAN BE THE OVEN -- THE ONE TO BRING THE NEXT WAVE OF PEACE, THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL SUPPORT THIS, WE WANT THIS, WE ARE READY. AND YOU CAN, LATER TODAY, IN EGYPT WITH YOUR UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED TEAM, MY FRIEND STEVE WITKOFF, MARCO RUBIO, PETE HEGSETH, FORGE A REGIONAL ALLIANCE THAT WILL CHANGE NOT ONLY THE MIDDLE EAST BUT THE ENTIRE WORLD. AFTER TWO YEARS OF WAR, E PEOPLES OF THIS REGION SHOULD LOOK AROUND AND ASK THEMSELVES WHAT SITUATION IS BETTER, OF THOSE WHO CHOSE THE PATH OF PEACE, THOSE WHO CHOSE THE PATH OF WAR. THOSE WHO INVESTED IN THEIR PEOPLE, THE EDUCATION OF THEIR CHILDREN IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY WITH THOSE WHO INVESTED IN HATE AND IN VIOLENCE. FROM HERE I SAY, TO ALL THOSE WHO DEMONSTRATED AGAINST ISRAEL THESE PAST TWO YEARS, ON THE STREETS OF LONDON AND ROME, IN PARIS AND COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, I DO NOT REPRESENT THE GOVERNMENT, I AM THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION. AND I TELL YOU, YOU WERE DECEIVED. PROPAGANDA EXPERTS FUNDED BY TERROR MONEY MANIPULATED YOU. NOW THAT THE WAR HAS STOPPED YOU HAVE TIME AND A CHANCE TO GO AND LEARN THE FACTS. THE TRUTH IS THERE WAS NO GENOCIDE. NO INTENTIONAL STARVATION. APPLAUSE THE TRUTH IS, THERE WAS AN ARMY IN THE COUNTRY FIGHTING IN THE MOST COMPLICATED CONDITIONS IMAGINABLE AGAINST TERRORISTS WHO SENT THEIR OWN CHILDREN TO DIE. WHO USE THEIR OWN CHILDREN AS HUMAN SHIELDS. THE TRUTH IS THE DEMOCRATIC STATE WAS ATTACKED BY A FANATICAL TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, 1200 PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN ONE DAY, WOMEN WERE RAPED, BABIES WERE BURNED ALIVE AND ALL THE WHILE THEY PLAYED WITH YOUR MINDS, SELLING YOU THE ABSURD IDEA THAT SUPPORTING ISLAMIC TERRORISTS WAS A LIBERAL VALUE. WHEN YOU STAND WITH HAMAS YOU STAND 2ITH 2HE 2EOPLE, 2HEN YOU STAND WITH HEZBOLLAH YOU STAND WITH PEOPLE. WHEN YOU STAND WITH THE IRANIAN REGIME YOU STAND WITH PEOPLE. WHEN YOU STAND WITH ISRAEL YOU STAND ON THE SIDE OF JUSTICE. APPLAUSE LAST WEEK, LAST WEEK I ATTENDED THE SEVENTH OF OCTOBER MEMORIAL CEREMONY AND AN INSPIRATIONAL WOMAN SPOKE ON STAGE. SHE HAD A DAUGHTER, A 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO WAS AUTISTIC LIKE MY DAUGHTER. AND SHE WAS FULL OF LIGHT. ON THAT DARK DAY SHE WAS SLEEPING AT HER GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE IN THE KIBBUTZ. SHE WAS A YEARS OLD. THEIR BODIES, GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDDAUGHTER WERE FOUND EMBRACED. THEY WERE MURDERED TOGETHER. ON STAGE AT THE CEREMONY WE DON'T WANT REVENGE SHE SAID, WE WANT REDEMPTION. TODAY, THE REDEMPTION BEGINS. ISRAEL HAS ENDURED TWO TERRIBLE YEARS ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND IN THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA. BUT THOSE TWO YEARS WE ALSO REDISCOVERED OUR OWN GREATNESS. REMEMBER HOW GOOD IT CAN BE, ARE PILOTS WHO TOOK CONTROL OF THE SKIES OVER RAMALLAH. OUR CIVIL SOCIETY, WHICH REACHED OUT TO HELP EVERY VICTIM OF THE WAR. WE WILL MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS A DIFFERENT FUTURE. OUR HEROIC SOLDIERS WHO SAVED US ALL AND RISE AS TEACHERS AND ENGINEERS, SCIENTISTS AND INNOVATORS, INVESTORS AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS. WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPAY THE DEBT TO THOSE WHO SACRIFICED EVERYTHING, TO THOSE AS PRESIDENT LINCOLN SAID, GAVE THE LAST FULL MEASURE OF DEVOTION. WE CAN ONLY BE WORTHY OF THEM. WORTHY OF THEIR SACRIFICE. . PRESIDENT ALLOW ME TO SPEAK ALSO TO THE BUSINESSMAN, THE DEALMAKER WHO UNDERSTANDS VALUE. IF THERE WERE ONE STOCK IN THE WORLD I WOULD INVEST IN TODAY, IT IS APPLAUSE THE STATE OF ISRAEL. IF THERE WERE ONE NATION THAT DESERVES UNRESTRICTED ACCESS TO GPU CHIPS, TO AI ANALOGIES, TO AMERICAN MARKETS, IT IS THE STATE OF ISRAEL. ISRAEL'S FUTURES INTERTWINED WITH OUR ETERNAL ALLIANCE OF STRATEGIC COMPETENCE WITH OUR GREATEST FRIENDS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS WAR IS OVER. WE WILL ALWAYS NEED TO STAY VIGILANT, TO GUARD AGAINST THOSE WHO SEEK OUR DESTRUCTION. BUT THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS ABOUT TO REINVENT ITSELF. THE CHALLENGES AHEAD TO MAN NOT ONLY STRENGTHS BUT A NEW VISION. IT'S TIME TO BE A NATION THAT IS ADVANCED AND THRIVING. AND WE HAVE WAITED FOR THIS MOMENT FOR THE END OF THE WAR FOR THE RETURN OF THE HOSTAGES FOR THE CHANCE TO BE CHANNEL OUR GRIEF AND LOSS INTO THE ENERGY NEEDED TO REBUILD OUR NATION. THANKS TO YOU MR. PRESIDENT, THANKS TO OUR SOLDIERS AND LIONS, THANKS TO THE MILLIONS OF GREAT ISRAELIS 2HO 2ILLED 2HE STREETS AND NEVER NOT FOR ONE MOMENT GAVE UP ON THE HOSTAGES. APPLAUSE THANKS TO ALL OF THEM, THE STRENGTH WITHIN US CANNOT ARISE AND SUCCEED AND BUILD. FOR A FUTURE AND FOR OUR CHILDREN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

IT'S AN INCREDIBLE TRIUMPH FOR ISRAEL AND THE WORLD TO HAVE ALL OF THESE NATIONS WORKING TOGETHER AS PARTNERS IN PEACE AND IT IS PRETTY UNUSUAL FOR YOU TO SEE THAT WHAT IT HAPPENED IN THIS CASE, THIS WAS A VERY UNUSUAL POINT IN TIME. GENERATIONS FROM NOW THIS WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE MOMENT THAT EVERYTHING BEGAN TO CHANGE AND CHANGE VERY MUCH FOR THE BETTER. LIKE THE USA RIGHT NOW, IT WILL BE THE GOLDEN AGE OF ISRAEL AND THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE MIDDLE EAST. I'D LIKE TO THANK SEVERAL GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOTS FOR THEIR INVALUABLE HELP GETTING SOMETHING DONE THAT ALMOST EVERYONE THOUGHT WAS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE. WE WERE WASTING OUR TIME.

01:21:51	BUT I TELL ONE STORY BECAUSE HE WAS SO INVOLVED AND THEN CALLED IN JARED, WE GOT TO GET JARED IN HERE, WE GOT TO GET A CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE BUT STEVE STARTED THIS ALL BY HIMSELF.
01:22:08	HENRY KISSINGER -- WE CALL HIM HENRY KISSINGER WHO DOESN'T LEAK. HENRY WAS A BIG LEAKER. STEVE WANTS TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT. A QUICK STORY BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW HE'S WORKING ON THE WAR WITH RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, A WAR THAT WOULD'VE NEVER HAPPENED IF I WERE PRESIDENT. 7000 YOUNG SOLDIERS A WEEK ARE BEING KILLED. MORE OF THEM THIS LAST WEEK. IT IS A SHAME IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN. BUT IT DID HAPPEN AND I WON THE RACE AND I TOOK OVER THIS HORRIBLE WAR THAT'S BEEN RAGING. AND EASILY SETTLED I THOUGHT IT WAS A HELL OF A LOT EASIER THAN DOING WHAT WE JUST DID VERY SUCCESSFULLY WITH ISRAEL AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE, BUT THIS CAME FIRST. BUT I SET UP A MEETING TO MEET WITH PRESIDENT PUTIN THINKING IT WOULD BE A 15 OR 20 MINUTE MEETING STEVE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT RUSSIA, I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT -- DIDN'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT POLITICS WASN'T THAT INTERESTED, HE WAS REALLY GOOD AT REAL ESTATE BUT HE HAD THAT QUALITY THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR AND I DID NOT SEE IT AROUND INTO MANY WAYS.

APPLAUSE
01:27:28	AND I HAVE A PREDICTION THAT MARCO WILL GO DOWN AS THE GREATEST SECRETARY OF STATE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. I BELIEVE IT. I BELIEVE IT.

01:28:40	AND AS YOU KNOW WE DECISIVELY WON WORLD WAR I, WE DECISIVELY WON WORLD WAR II DECISIVELY AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN, EVERYTHING BEFORE IT, WE WANT EVERYTHING AND THEN THEY HAD THE BRILLIANT IDEA OF CHANGING THE NAME FROM WAR. YOU KNOW IT'S WAR, TO DEFENSE. AND WITH THAT WENT A CERTAIN THINKING. AND IN A VERY POLITICALLY CORRECT AFTER WAY -- WAY AFTER THAT. NOW WE HAVE A STRONGER MILITARY THAN WE'VE EVER HAD BEFORE. SINCE MY FIRST TERM OF TOTALLY REBUILT EVERY ASPECT OF IT. WE HAVE WE SETTLED EIGHT WARS IN EIGHT MONTHS AND I'M NOW INCLUDING THIS ONE BY THE WAY THAT'S OK.

01:30:02	IT IS A GOOD FEELING, ISN'T THAT NICE TO SAY? TO SAY THE HOSTAGES ARE BACK. IT FEELS SO GOOD TO SAY IT. BUT WHEN YOU SETTLE EIGHT WARS IN EIGHT MONTHS THAT MEANS YOU DON'T LIKE WAR. EVERYONE THOUGHT I WOULD BE BRUTAL, IN FACT ARMORY HILLARY CLINTON DURING THE DEBATE SAID LOOK AT HIM, HE IS GOING TO GO TO WAR WITH EVERY BODY. AND ACTUALLY SHE SAID HE'S GOT A PERSONALITY THAT'S ALL ABOUT WAR. MY PERSONALITY IS ACTUALLY ALL ABOUT STOPPING WARS AND IT SEEMS TO WORK. APPLAUSE Show Less

I REBUILT THE MILITARY, I WAS PROUD TO DO IT AND SOME OF THE THINGS BECAUSE THE LEVEL OF POWER IS SO ENORMOUS, SO DANGEROUS AND SO BAD.

DIDN'T THEY TAKE A BIG HIT? BOY OH BOY, THEY GOT HIT FROM ONE SIDE AND THE OTHER. YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE GREAT? MAKE A PEACE DEAL. WOULD YOU BE HAPPY WITH THAT? WOULDN'T IT BE NICE? I THINK THEY WANT TO. I THINK THEY ARE TIRED. SOMEBODY SAID -- SIR, THEY ARE STARTING THE NUCLEAR PROGRAM AGAIN. I SAID, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, THEY WON'T START ANYTHING. THEY WANT TO SURVIVE. LAST THING THEY WANT TO DO IS START TO DIG HOLES IN MOUNTAINS THAT JUST GOT BLOWN UP. THEY'RE NOT DOING THAT. THEY WANT TO SURVIVE, OK? WE'VE GOT A CHANCE. STEVE, JARED, COME BACK FOR ANOTHER ONE. WE ALWAYS BRING JARED WHEN WE WANT TO BRING THE DEAL, GET IT CLOSED. YOU AND JARED, THE GENERAL, PETE, MARCO, YOU GET THAT DEAL DONE EASY. IT WILL BE EASY. FIRST, GOT TO GET RUSSIA DONE. GOT TO GET THAT DONE. STEVE, LET'S FOCUS ON RUSSIA FIRST. DON'T MIND? WE'LL GET IT DONE. 11 ON THE DAGGER OF HEZBOLLAH. LONG AIMED AT TH ISRAELI THROAT, TOTALLY SHATTERED. MY ADMINISTRATION IS ACTIVELY SUPPORTING THE NEW PRESIDENT OF LEBANON AND HIS MISSION TO PERMANENTLY DISARM THE HEZBOLLAH TERROR BRIGADE TO. BUILDING A THRIVING STATE AT PEACE WITH NEIGHBORS. YOU ARE VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF THAT, I KNOW. GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING THERE. REALLY GOOD THINGS. THIS WEEK WITH THE CEASE FIRE WE HAVE ACHIEVED IN THE MOST CHALLENGING BREAKTHROUGH OF THEM ALL. MOST CHALLENGING EVER. NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. BEEN A LOT -- BEEN INVOLVED IN LOTS OF SUCCESS, NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE WHAT'S GOING ON TODAY ALL OVER THE WORLD. PEOPLE DANCING IN THE STREETS. NOT JUST IN ISRAEL. DANCING IN THE STREETS OF COUNTRIES THAT NEVER WOULD HAVE DANCED IN THE STREET ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY. DANCING IN THOSE STREETS. THEY ARE DANCING. APPLAUSE SO, THIS LONG DIFFICULT WAR HAS NOW ENDED. SOME PEOPLE SAY 3000 YEARS. SOME PEOPLE SAY 500 YEARS. WHATEVER. THE GRANDDADDY OF THEM ALL. IN AN UNPRECEDENTED ACHIEVEMENT, VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE REGION HAS ENDORSED THE PLAN. GAZA, IMMEDIATELY DEMILITARIZED. ISRAELI SECURITY WILL NO LONGER BE THREATENED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. APPLAUSE SO, ISRAEL, WITH OUR HELP, HAS BEEN THE WINNER OF ALL THEY CAN BY FORCE OF ARMS. HE WON. YOU ONE. NOW IT IS TIME TO TRANSLATE THESE VICTORIES AGAINST TERRORISTS ON THE BATTLEFIELD INTO THE ULTIMATE PREP -- PRIZE OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY FOR THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST. IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO ENJOY THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR. MR. OPPOSITION LEADER, LIKE I SAID, HE'S A VERY NICE OPPOSITION LEADER. HE'S A NICE MAN. BIBI, HE'S A NICE MAN. GOOD. HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. RIGHT? VERY NICE GUY. SEE, NOW YOU CAN BE A LITTLE BIT NICER, BIBI, YOU ARE NOT AT WAR ANYMORE, BIBI. LAUGHTER ONLY BY EMBRACING THE OPPORTUNITIES OF THE MOMENT CAN WE ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF ENSURING THAT THE HORRORS OF RECENT YEARS NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN. EIGHT YEARS AGO I CAME TO THIS REGION ON A SPECIAL FIRST TRIP ABROAD AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. IT WAS EARLY AND AT YOUR REQUEST, I ADDRESSED THE LEADERS OF THE ARAB AND MUSLIM WORLDS. GATHERED IN SAUDI ARABIA. SAID IT WAS TIME TO BUILD A FUTURE FREE OF THE GRIP OF EXTREMISM AND TERROR. INTERESTINGLY, RIGHT NOW AS SOON AS I'M FINISHED, I HAVE, AND YOU'VE CAP BE LATE, BETWEEN OPPOSITION AND BIBI'S BRILLIANT BUT VERY LONG SPEECH, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO RUN UP HERE AND MAKE A SPEECH IN HEAD TO EPT. IT DIDN'T WORK OUT THAT WAY. YOU MADE A PRETTY LONG 1, 2, SIR. LAUGHTER BUT I LIKED WHAT YOU ALL SAID. COULD BE WORSE. ON TOP OF IT SUPPOSE I DIDN'T LIKE IT. THAT WOULD BE NO GOOD, WOULD IT? RON, YOU DID A GREAT JOB, BY THE WAY. RON. APPLAUSE SO, I AM GOING TO BE MEETING IN A LITTLE WHILE, MEETING WITH THE MOST POWERFUL AND RICHEST NATIONS, REALLY, IN THE WORLD. HELPING WITH THE TERRACE OF THE UNITED STATES, BY FAR THE RICHEST. YOU READ THAT. THE RICHEST NATIONS, MOST POWERFUL NATIONS, YOU KNOW, TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS, HEADED BY TREMENDOUS PEOPLE IN MANY CASES. IN SOME CASES I WOULDN'T NECESSARILY ENDORSE, BUT I WILL TELL YOU SOME INCREDIBLE PEOPLE REALLY HELPED US MAKE THIS ALL POSSIBLE. SO, I WILL BE GOING THERE. IT WILL BE QUITE LATE. THEY MIGHTOT BE THERE WHEN I GET THERE. BUT WE GIVE IT A SHOT. THE JOURNEY THAT WE STARTED BACK THEN LED TO THE CRUSHING DEFEAT OF THE ISIS CALIPHATE. TO THE MONUMENTAL ABRAHAM ACCORDS. ULTIMATELY, TO THE HISTORIC CEASE FIRE THIS WEEK IN WHICH MANY OF THOSE SAME NATIONS REALLY PLAYED A PIVOTAL ROLE, I HAVE TO TELL YOU. STEVE WILL TELL YOU. JARED WILL TELL YOU. DID -- TOGETHER WE SHOW THAT PEACE ISN'T JUST A DREAM, I HOPE, IT'S A REALITY THAT WE CAN BUILD ON DAY BY DAY, PERSON BY PERSON, NATION BY NATION. BECAUSE OF THAT, THE MIDDLE EAST IS FINALLY READY TO EMBRACE THIS EXTRAORDINARY POTENTIAL. YOU HAVE EXTRAORDINARY POTENTIAL IN THE REGION. IT SHOULD BE CLEAR TO EVERYONE THROUGHOUT THE REGION THAT DECADES OF FOMENTING TERRORISM AND EXTREMISM, JIHAD IS HIM, ANTI-SEMITISM THEY HAVEN'T WORKED. HAVEN'T WORKED. BEEN A DISASTER. JUST KILLED. KILLED. BACKFIRED COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY. TOTALLY BACKFIRED. JUST TOTALLY. EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT. TAKE A WORST CASE, WORSE THAN THAT. THEY HAVEN'T WORKED. FROM GAZA TO IRAN. THE BITTER HATREDS HAVE DELIVERED NOTHING BUT MISERY AND SUFFERING, FAILURE AND DEATH. SERVING NOT TO WEAKEN ISRAEL, BUT 2NNIHILATE 2HE 2ORCES THAT DID THE MOST TO FOMENT HATRED. REALLY. EVERYBODY THAT HAS TRIED IT HAS BECOME IRRELEVANT. MEANWHILE, WE HAVE SEEN THE NATIONS THAT SET ACROSS -- SET ASIDE DIFFERENCES, THEY ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN THE REGION. THEY GET ALONG WITH ISRAEL. THEY DO GREAT. I CAN TELL YOU, THE FOUR NATIONS THAT JOINED THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS EARLY ON, YOU WOULD ALL BE DOING ME A FAVOR. I'LL BE SAYING THIS IN A LITTLE WHILE TO SOME OTHER FRIENDS, WE WOULD LOVE YOU ALL TO -- IS THIS RIGHT, JARED? JOIN UP IN THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS? JOIN UP AND GET TOGETHER. GOING TO HAVE THE WHOLE THING FILLED OUT. WE HAD A WEAK ADMINISTRATION. WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY BY FAR. BARACK OBAMA WAS NOT FAR BEHIND, BY THE WAY. THEY DID NOTHING WITH THIS INCREDIBLE DOCUMENT, ABRAHAM ACCORDS. NOW YOU CAN FILL THEM UP. YOU HAVE PEACE. YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT REALLY LIKE ISRAEL. I TELL YOU WHAT, THEY LIKE ISRAEL A LOT MORE TODAY THAN EVEN FIVE WEEKS AGO. YOU'VE MADE A LOT OF COMEBACKS. COME BACK STRONG. WAS GETTING NASTY OUT THERE IN THE WORLD. ULTIMATELY, THE WORLD WINS, YOU CAN'T BEAT THE WORLD. I WOULD SAY TO BIBI, BIBI, NOW IT'S TIME, AND HE UNDERSTOOD. BETTER THAN ANYBODY? WORLDS'S A BIG PLACE. I'VE SET A LOT. I SAID THIS PIECE OF LAND IS SMALL. UNBELIEVABLE. YOU KNOW IT. TINY. LOOK AT A MAP. NOT JUST THE WORLD, THE MIDDLE EAST. IT'S A LITTLE DOT. THINK OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. IT'S INCREDIBLE. IT'S INCREDIBLE. APPLAUSE BUT THE WORLD IS LOVING. THE WORLD IS LOVING. LOVING ISRAEL AGAIN. I SAID TO BIBI, YOU KNOW? THE WORLD, IT'S BIG. IT STRONG. ULTIMATELY, THE WORLD WINS. WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT NOW. IT WAS GETTING TO BE A TIME OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS WHERE THE WORLD WANTED PEACE AND ISRAEL WANTED PEACE. EVERYBODY DID. EVERYBODY DID. WHAT A VICTORY IT'S BEEN, RIGHT? WHAT A VICTORY. THREE OR FOUR MORE YEARS OF FIGHTING AND FIGHTING AND FIGHTING, IT WAS GETTING BAD. IT WAS GETTING HEATED. THE TIMING OF THIS IS BRILLIANT. I SAID BIBI, YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR THIS FAR MORE AT THAN IF YOU KEPT IT GOING, GOING, GOING. KILL, KILL, KILL, IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO SAY -- THAT'S IT, WE'VE ONE. NOW LET'S ENJOY OUR LIVES AND LET'S REBUILD ISRAEL AND MAKE IT STRONGER, BIGGER, BETTER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN BEFORE. YOU CAN DO THAT. IT TAKES GUTS. APPLAUSE CHOICE FOR PALESTINIANS? COULDN'T BE MORE CLEAR. THEIR CHANCE TO TURN FOREVER FROM THE PATH OF TERROR AND VIOLENCE. IT'S BEEN EXTREME. EXILING THE WICKED FORCES OF HATE IN THEIR MIDST. I THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I MET SOME PEOPLE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THAT WANT TO SEE IT HAPPEN VERY MUCH. AFTER TREMENDOUS PAIN, DEATH, AND HARDSHIP, NOW IS THE TIME TO CONCENTRATE ON BUILDING THEIR PEOPLE UP INSTEAD OF TRYING TO TEAR ISRAEL DOWN, YOU KNOW? DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THE TOTAL FOCUS OF THE PEOPLE OF GAZA MUST BE ON RESTORING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF STABILITY, SAFETY, DIGNITY, AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THE BETTER LIFE THAT THEIR CHILDREN DESERVE AFTER ALL OF THESE DECADES OF HORROR. I INTEND TO BE A PARTNER IN THIS EFFORT IN THE SENSE THAT WE ARE GOING TO HELP. WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING THAT BECAME UNBELIEVABLY POPULAR. EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE IN ON IT. IT'S CALLED THE BOARD OF PEACE, OK? HOW ABOUT THAT? A BEAUTIFUL NAME. RIGHT? A BOARD? PEACE? THE ONLY BAD THING, FROM MY STANDPOINT, EVERY SINGLE NATION INVOLVED HAS ASKED ME TO BE THE CHAIR. I WILL TELL YOU, I'M VERY BUSY. I DIDN'T COUNT ON THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT? IF WE DO IT, WE WILL DO IT RIGHT. YOU HAVE UNBELIEVABLE POWER AND WEALTH. YOU ARE GOING TO NEED WEALTH TO REBUILD THINGS. WE HAVE WEALTH LIKE ARAB AND MUSLIM NATIONS MADE A COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING A SAVORY BUILDING OF GAZA. BEYOND THAT, MANY ARAB COUNTRIES, WEALTHY COUNTRIES, THEY CAME UP AND SAID WE WILL PUT IT UP. TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY. GETTING IT REBUILT. REBUILT. REBUILDING GAZA. I THINK IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. POWER? DIGNITY. WANT TO GIVE THEM FORWARD. THEY WANT TO SAY IT. I WANT TO SAY WHO THEY ARE. WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS I THINK SOMETHING YOU WILL BE VERY IMPRESSED WITH, BIBI. YOU NEED THAT. YOU NEED THE KIND OF ECONOMIC POWER THEY HAVE AND THEY WANT TO SEE IT WORK. THEY WANT TO SEE IT BE SAFE AND SEE IT BE GOOD FOR ISRAEL, TOO. AS MUCH MONEY AS IT WILL BE, AND IT IS A LOT, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S A LOT, FOR THESE COUNTRIES IT'S RELATIVELY LITTLE. RELATIVE TO THEIR WORTH. IT'S A LOT OF MONEY, LIKE MONEY LIKE MOST PEOPLE COULD NEVER EVEN CONCEIVED. BUT FOR THESE COUNTRIES IT'S NOT MUCH. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT ENSURES SUCCESS AND STABILITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST, WHICH IS WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE. SO, MANY OF THEM WILL BE IN EGYPT WITH US IN A LITTLE WHILE. I THINK? NOT SURE. COULD BE GONE? THEY COULD HAVE TAKEN THEIR JETS AND LEFT. I SAID -- WHAT KIND OF A PLANE DO YOU FLY? 747? I SAID, THAT'S A LARGE PLANE. STEVE, DO YOU THINK THEY HAVE LEFT ON THEIR BRAND-NEW PLANES? I DON'T KNOW. WE WILL FIND OUT SOON. IT'LL BE A BIG STORY. THERE WILL BE TWO PEOPLE LEFT. THEY WILL BE THE POOREST ONES. CHUCKLING BUT IT WILL BE, IT WILL BE THE WEALTHIEST. THE MOST POWERFUL GROUP OF NATIONS. THE GROUP WE ASSEMBLED A. IT'S THE WEALTHIEST AND MOST POWERFUL GROUP EVER ASSEMBLED AT ONE TIME. NEVER BEEN A GROUP LIKE THIS. THEY ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR GOOD. THEY WANT GOOD. GOING TO DO GOOD TO. THOSE COMMITMENTS THAT ARE MADE, I'M GOING TO LET THE WORLD KNOW WHO IS DOING IT. THEY REALLY DESERVE TO GET THE CREDIT. SOME OF THEM WON'T WANT THE CREDIT. BUT THEY DESERVE IT. IT'S MORE OBVIOUS THAN EVER THAT THE PRODUCTIVE AND RESPONSIBLE NATIONS OF THIS REGION SHOULD NOT BE ENEMIES OR ADVERSARIES. SHOULD BE PARTNERS, EVENTUALLY FRIENDS. THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. I KNOW IT. TOGETHER YOU CAN STAND AGAINST CHAOS. YOU GO AHEAD. THAT'S IMPORTANT. APPLAUSE BECAUSE YOU CAN STAND AGAINST THE FORCES OF CHAOS THAT THREATENED ALL OF YOUR INTERESTS. IT'S ALWAYS A BIG THREAT. ALWAYS A BIG THREAT. YOU CAN UNLEASH INCREDIBLE PROSPERITY AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND. THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. UNLEASHING NUMBERS AND SUCCESS THE LIKES OF WHICH ISRAEL HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO THINK OF. BECAUSE YOU ARE SO FIRM. YOU SHOULD BE. YOU HAVE DONE THE RIGHT 2HING IN DEFENDING YOURSELF. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO WORRY SO MUCH. YOU WON. YOU CAN BUILD. DO THINGS YOU NEVER EVEN THOUGHT POSSIBLE. PUT THE GENIUS INTO DOING SOMETHING ELSE. IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S A MIRACLE. A MIRACLE IN THE DESERT. AMAZING. ALREADY IS, IN A TRUE SENSE. IT WILL BE WONDERFUL TO SPEND TIME THINKING ABOUT OTHER THAN WAR, DEFENSE, OFFENSE. TO THAT END, IT IS MY FIRM HOPE. DREAM, FRANKLY, THAT TOGETHER THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS WILL TURN OUT TO BE EVERYTHING THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD. THAT THOSE FOUR COUNTRIES WERE VERY BRAVE IN DOING IT. THEY DID IT AT AN EARLY POINT. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM BENEFITS UNBELIEVABLY FINANCIALLY. DID YOU NOTICE? EVEN IN THE BAD DREAM THAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH, THEY ALL REMAINED MEMBERS OF THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS. THEY HAVE DONE UNBELIEVABLY WELL. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. I WANT TO THANK YOU. APPLAUSE THEY'VE STAYED TO BECAUSE OF LOYALTY. THEY ALSO STAY BECAUSE IT WAS GOOD BUSINESS. THEY MADE A LOT OF MONEY BEING IN THAT PERCENT. I HOPE THAT EVERYONE, I HOPE EVERY ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES THAT WE ARE SEEKING, JARED, I HOPE THEY JOIN QUICKLY. NO GAMES. NO NOTHING. JOIN, GET IN. GREAT PEACEMAKER. GOING TO BRING IT TOGETHER BEYOND ANY, ANYBODY'S WHILE THE STREAMS. INSTEAD OF BUILDING FORTRESSES TO KEEP ENEMIES AT BAY, THE NATIONS OF THIS REGION SHOULD BE BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE TO WEAVE YOUR COMMERCE CLOSER TOGETHER. YOU'VE GOT TO COMPETE WITH A BIG WORLD OUT THERE WITH COMMERCE NOW. DIFFERENT KIND OF COMPETITION. INSTEAD OF MAKING WEAPONS AND MISSILES, THE WEALTH OF THIS REGION SHOULD FLOW TO SCHOOLS, INDUSTRY, AND THE NEW HOT THING, FRANKLY, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. IT'S, BOY IT'S A LOT OF INTELLIGENCE YOU HAVE TO THROW TO PAY BACK THESE SUMS OF MONEY THEY ARE DOING. THAT'S A HOT ONE. I MIGHT SAY THE UNITED STATES A YEAR AGO, IT WAS A DEAD COUNTRY. I SAY IT TO PEOPLE. I HEARD IT FROM SAUDI ARABIA. I HEARD IT FROM UAE. I HEARD IT FROM QATAR. I HEARD IT FROM MANY OTHER COUNTRIES. A YEAR AGO, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS DEAD. NOW IT'S THE HOTTEST COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. THE HOTTEST. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. IN FACT, IF YOU GO BACK A YEAR AGO, BEFORE THE ELECTION -- ALTHOUGH NOVEMBER 5, WE BECAME HOT. PEOPLE GOT IT. NOVEMBER 5. THAT WAS THE TIME WE BECAME HOT. GO BACK. COUPLE OF YEARS? WHEN I'M IN CHARGE, THE COUNTRY -- NO ONE ASKED ME TO SPEAK. NOBODY ASKED JOE TO SPEAK. I GUARANTEE YOU. IF HE DID, WOULD'VE TURNED THEM DOWN. PROMISE YOU. DIDN'T SPEAK. DIDN'T SPEAK WELL. ALL THE COUNTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. COULD HAVE. WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW? COULD'VE HAPPENED. LONG TIME AGO. STRANGLED. SETBACK IRRETRIEVABLY BY THE ADMINISTRATIONS OF OBAMAND BIDEN. HATRED. HATRED OF ISRAEL. ABSOLUTE HATRED. SETBACKS. THEY STARTED WHEN OBAMA SIGNED THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL. DISASTER FOR ISRAEL. DISASTER FOR EVERYONE. I REMEMBER. NETANYAHU CAME TO THE UNITED STATES, WORK HARD TO GET OBAMA TO NOT DO THE DEAL. WORKED SO HARD. BUT IT WAS LIKE TALKING TO A WALL. HE TOLD ME THAT. LIKE TALKING TO A WALL. THEY WANTED IRAN. THEY CHOSE IRAN OVER A LOT OF OTHER GOOD NATIONS. SPECIFICALLYAEL. THAT 2AS 2HE 2EGINNING OF VERY BAD TIMES. YOU HAD OBAMA. WENT OUT. IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL TURNED OUT TO BE A DISASTER. BY THE WAY, I TERMINATED THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL. I WAS VERY PROUD TO DO IT. APPLAUSE EVEN IRAN, WHOSE REGIME HAS INFLICTED SO MUCH DEATH ON THE MIDDLE EAST, THE HAND OF FRIENDSHIP AND COOPERATION IS OPEN. I'M TELLING YOU, THEY WANT TO MAKE A DEAL. THAT'S ALL I DO IN LIFE. I MAKE DEALS. GOOD AT IT. ALWAYS BEEN GOOD AT IT. I KNOW WHAT THEY WANT. EVEN IF THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE A DEAL, I CAN TELL YOU THEY WANT TO MAKE A DEAL, ALRIGHT? THEY WANT TO. WE WILL SEE IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING. IT'S CRAZY WHAT'S HAPPENING. WE WON'T HAVE THIS ANYMORE. NEITHER THE UNITED STATES OR ISRAEL BEAR THE PEOPLE OF THOSE COUNTRIES ANY HOSTILITY. WE WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE. WE WANT NO LOOMING THREATS OVER OUR HEADS. WE DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK IN TERMS OF NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION. WON'T HAPPEN. NEVER HAPPEN. NOTHING WOULD DO MORE GOOD FOR THIS PART OF THE WORLD THAN FOR THOSE LEADERS TO RENOUNCE TERRORISM. STOP THREATENING NEIGHBORS. PUT FUNDING MILITANT PROXIES. FINALLY, RECOGNIZE THE RIGHT FOR ISRAEL TO EXIST. THEY HAVE TO DO THAT. TWO IRAN, AND AS YOU KNOW, THERE IS NO WEAKNESS. BUT I WILL SAY THIS. WE ARE READY WHEN YOU ARE. AND IT WILL BE THE BEST DECISION THAT IRAN HAS EVER MADE AND IT WILL HAPPEN. GOING TO HAPPEN. GOOD PEOPLE. I KNOW A LOT OF IRANIANS IN THE UNITED STATES, GOOD PEOPLE, SMART, HARD-WORKING PEOPLE. THEY DON'T WANT TO SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THEIR COUNTRY. THE STORY OF FEARS IS REALLY RESOLVED AND TRIUMPHS SINCE OCTOBER 7 SHOULD BE PROOF TO THE ENTIRE WORLD THAT THOSE WHO SEEK TO DESTROY THIS NATION ARE DOOMED TO BITTER FAILURE. THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS STRONG, AND IT WILL LIVE AND THRIVE FOREVER. APPLAUSE AND THAT IS WHY ISRAEL WILL ALWAYS REMAIN A VITAL ALLY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. ISRAELIS SHARE OUR VALUES, FIELD ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL MILITARIES. YOU REALLY DO. WHAT A JOB YOU'VE DONE. HAVE ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE ECONOMIES ON EARTH. THOSE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE REASONS WHY I'M PROUD TO BE THE BEST FRIEND THAT ISRAEL HAS EVER HAD. THEY ALL SAY IT IN THE WHITE HOUSE. THEY ALL SAY IT. I GUESS IT IS TRUE BECAUSE EVERYONE SAYS IT. BP, YOU SAID IT TODAY, THANK YOU. AS PRESIDENT, I TERMINATED THE DISASTROUS NUCLEAR DEAL AND ULTIMATELY TERMINATED IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM WITH THINGS CALLED B-2 BOMBERS. IT WAS SWIFT AND IT WAS ACCURATE AND IT WAS A MITARY BEAUTY. I AUTHORIZED THE SPENDING OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WHICH WENT TO ISRAEL'S DEFENSE COME AS YOU KNOW. APPLAUSE AND AFTER YEARS OF BROKEN PROMISES FROM ANY OTHER AMERICAN PRESIDENTS. YOU KNOW THAT. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD IT UNTIL I GOT THERE. A LOT OF PRESSURE PUT ON THESE PRESIDENTS. ME, TOO, BUT I DIDN'T YIELD TO THE PRESSURE. PRESIDENTS FOR DECADES SAID THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IT. THE DIFFERENCE IS I KEPT MY PROMISE AND OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL AND MOVED THE AMERICAN EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM. APPLAUSE ISN'T THAT RIGHT, MIRIAM? LOOK AT MIRIAM. SHE IS BACK THERE. STAND UP. STAND UP. MIRIAM AND SHELDON WOULD COME INTO THE OFFICE, THEY WOULD CALL ME. I THINK THEY HAD MORE TRIPS TO THE WHITE HOUSE THAN ANYBODY ELSE. LOOK AT HER SITTING THERE SO INNOCENTLY. SHE HAS $60 BILLION IN THE BANK. $60 BILLION. I THINK SHE IS SAYING, NO, MORE. SHE LOVES ISRAEL, AND THEY WOULD COME IN. HER HUSBAND IS A VERY AGGRESSIVE MAN BUT I LOVE 10. VERY SUPPORTIVE OF ME. HE WOULD CALL UP, CAN I COME OVER AND SEE YOU? SHELDON, I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. HE WOULD COME IN. THEY WERE VERY RESPONSIBLE FOR SO MUCH INCLUDING GETTING ME THINKING ABOUT GOING ON HEIGHTS WHICH IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS EVER TO HAPPEN. MIRIAM, STAND UP, PLEASE. SHE REALLY IS. SHE LOVES THIS COUNTRY. APPLAUSE SHE LOVES THIS COUNTRY, HER AND HER HUSBAND. SO INCREDIBLE. WE MISS HIM SO DEARLY. I'M GOING TO GET HER IN TROUBLE WITH THIS. I SAID, MIRIAM, I KNOW YOU LOVE ISRAEL. WHAT DO YOU LOVE MORE, THE UNITED STATES OR ISRAEL? SHE REFUSED TO ANSWER. THAT MIGHT MEAN ISRAEL. WE LOVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THAT IS A GREAT HONOR. WONDERFUL WOMAN. SHE IS A GREAT WOMAN. I HAVE ALWAYS STOOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMUNITY, AND I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU. I GUESS MAYBE SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN TO CHANGE MY MIND. SOMEBODY THAT IS REALLY STUPID GET INTO OFFICE AND WANTS TO DO REALLY BAD THINGS, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT, AND I HOPE WE DON'T HAVE THAT HAPPEN. THIS MAN IS A GOOD MAN HERE. THESE TWO MEN ARE GOOD MEN HERE. APPLAUSE I HAVE AN IDEA. MR. PRESIDENT, WHY DON'T YOU GIVE HIM A PARDON? CHEERS AND APPLAUSE COME ON. CHEERS AND APPLAUSE BY THE WAY, THIS WAS NOT IN THE SPEECH, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW. BUT I HAPPEN TO LIKE THIS GENTLEMAN OVER HERE. ITUST SEEMS TO MAKE SO MUCH SENSE. WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE GREATEST WARTIME PRESIDENTS. AND CIGARS AND CHAMPAGNE, WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT IT? APPLAUSE ALL RIGHT. ENOUGH CONTROVERSY FOR THE DAY, RIGHT? ACTUALLY, I DON'T THINK IT IS VERY CONTROVERSIAL. SO POPULAR. YOU ARE A VERY POPULAR MAN. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW TO WIN. CHEERS AND APPLAUSE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, I'VE MET MANY OF THE FAMILIES OF THE ISRAELIS TAKEN HOSTAGE, THOSE THAT WERE TAKEN HOSTAGE. UNBELIEVABLE. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THEIR EYES AND SEEN THE WORST NIGHTMARES OF THEIR SUFFERING, BUT I'VE ALSO SEEN SOMETHING ELSE, THE BEAUTIFUL LOVE OF THE PEOPLE. THE LOVE OF PEOPLE WHO FRANKLY HOLD THINGS TOGETHER, THE LOVE THEY GIVE YOU THE COURAGE TO CARRY ON FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF PERSECUTION AND REPRESSION, AND TO EMERGE WITH THE HEART OF DAVID, THE HEART OF DAVID. IT IS THAT LOVE THAT DEFEATED THE ENEMIES OF CIVILIZATIONS, BUILT THIS INCREDIBLE COUNTRY, THIS UNBELIEVABLE ECONOMY, AND FORGED ONE OF THE GREAT DEMOCRACIES OF THE WORLD. THAT IS WHY IT'S A TRUE HONOR TO STAND HERE TODAY AND ADDRESS THIS ASSEMBLY IN YOUR ANCIENT AND ETERNAL NOW CAPITAL JERUSALEM. PROUD TO HAVE HELPED IN THAT REGARD. THE CITY AND THIS NATION STAND IS LIVING PROOF THAT A MUCH BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR THIS ENTIRE REGION IS TRULY WITHIN OUR GRASP. FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, JERUSALEM HAS BEEN A HOME TO CHRISTIANS, JEWS, MUSLIMS, PEOPLE OF ALL ETHNICITIES AND FAITHS. THIS IS THE HOLY CENTER OF THE WORLD'S THREE GREAT ABRAHAMIC FAITHS. I LIKE THAT, TOO. FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THAT WORD IN A WHILE. ADORNED WITH THEIR SACRED SITES AND ALLIED WITH THEIR PILGRIMS AND VISITORS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE. BUT HERE BETWEEN THE WESTERN WALL, THE TEMPLE MOUNT, AND THE HILL CALLED CAVALRY, PEOPLE OF EVERY FAITH AND BACKGROUND LIVE, WORK, PRAY, SERVE, AND RAISE THEIR FAMILIES SIDE-BY-SIDE, AND THEY DO IT WITH LOVE. THIS EXAMPLE IS JUST ONE OF THE MODERN MIRACLES THAT ISRAEL HAS GIVEN TO THE WORLD. JUST IN CLOSING, THE LEADERS IN THIS CHAMBER KNOW ANYONE BETTER THAN ELSE THE CHALLENGES OF THIS HARMONY. IT HAS BEEN EASILY WON. NO, IT HASN'T. IT HAS BEEN SO TOUGH. BUT SOME SAY IT HAS BEEN A MIRACLE. WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IS A MIRACLE. LOOK AT YOUR SIZE, LOOK AT YOUR CHANCES WHEN IT ALL STARTED. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, YOU ARE SAFER TODAY, STRONGER TODAY, AND MORE RESPECTED TODAY THAN ANY OTHER TIME IN THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL. THINK ABOUT IT. APPLAUSE PEOPLE USED TO SAY IT WOULDN'T EXIST. THEY DON'T SAY THAT ANYMORE, DO THEY? IF SAFETY, SECURITY, AND COEXISTENCE CAN SURVIVE HERE IN THE WINDING ALLEYS AND ANCIENT PASSAGES OF JERUSALEM, SURELY PEACE AND RESPECT CAN SPREAD OUT AMONG THE BROADER NATIONS OF THE MIDDLE EAST. THE GUY WHO ONCE DWELLED AS PEOPLE AMONG THIS CITY STILL CALLS US COME IN THE WORD OF SCRIPTURE, TURN FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD TO SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT. HE STILL WHISPERS TRUTH INTO THE HILLS AND VALLEYS OF THIS MAGNIFICENT CREATION, AND HE STILL WRITES HOPE INTO THE HEARTS OF HIS CHILDREN ALL OVER THE WORLD. AND THAT IS BY EVEN AFTER 3000 YEARS OF PAIN AND CONFLICT, THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL HAVE NEVER GIVEN UP FROM THE THREATS OF ZIONISM, ALL SORTS OF THREATS. YOU WANT THE PROMISE OF ZION. YOU WANT THE PROMISE OF ZION. YOU WANT THE PROMISE OF SUCCESS AND HOPE AND LOVE AND GOD. AND THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA HAVE NEVER LOST FAITH OF THE PROMISE OF THE GREAT AND BLESSED FUTURE FOR ALL OF US. FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY THAT MODERN ISRAEL WAS FOUNDED, WE HAVE STOOD TOGETHER THROUGH THICK AND THIN, SETBACKS AND VICTORY, DEFEAT, THROUGH GLORY AND HEARTACHE. WE HAVE BUILT INDUSTRIES TOGETHER. WE HAVE MADE DISCOVERIES TOGETHER. WE HAVE CONFRONTED PEOPLE TOGETHER. WE HAVE WAGED WAR TOGETHER. PERHAPS MOST BEAUTIFULLY OF ALL, WE HAVE MADE PEACE TOGETHER. THIS WEEK, AGAINST ALL ODDS, WE HAVE DONE THE IMPOSSIBLE AND BROUGHT OUR HOSTAGES HOME. APPLAUSE SO NOW, WE ARE GOING TO FORGE A FUTURE THAT IS WORTHY OF OUR HERITAGE. WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A LEGACY THAT ALL THE PEOPLE OF THIS REGION CAN BE PROUD OF BEING NEW BONDS OF FRIENDSHIP, COOPERATION, AND COMMERCE WILL JOIN TEL AVIV, HAIFA TO BEIRUT, JERUSALEM TO DAMASCUS, AND FROM ISRAEL TO EGYPT, SAUDI ARABIA TO QATAR, FROM INDIA TO PAKISTAN, FROM INDONESIA TO ERECT, FROM SYRIA TO BAHRAIN, TURKEY TO JORDAN, THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES TO OMAN, ARMENIA TO AZERBAIJAN -- ANOTHER WORD THAT I JUST SETTLED -- WE ARE GOING TO HAVE HOPE, OPPORTUNITY, AND HARMONY IN THE SPIRITUAL AND GEOGRAPHIC CENTER OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. THAT IS WHEN YOU ARE. ISRAEL, AMERICA, ALL THE NATIONS OF THE MIDDLE EAST WILL SOON BE SAFER, STRONGER, GREATER, AND MORE PROSPEROUS THAN EVER BEFORE. APPLAUSE AND I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN FOR THIS EXCEPTIONAL HONOR. THIS HAS TRULY BEEN AN HONOR. SELDOM THAT A PRESIDENT IS INVITED TO DO THIS. I LOVE ISRAEL. I AM WITH YOU ALL THE WAY. YOU WILL BE BIGGER, BETTER, STRONGER, AND MORE LOVING THAN EVER BEFORE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOD BLESS YOU. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. AND GOD BLESS THE MIDDLE EAST. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. GOOD LUCK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. APPLAUSE THANK YOU. Show Less
