1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Sound On with Kevin Surley on Bloomberg

2
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: and one oh five point seven f M h D two.

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: My name is Kevin Seili. I'm the chief Washington correspondent

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: form Bloomberg Television and from Bloomberg Radio. Coming up, we

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: have the full latest analysis and reaction to the impass

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill between Democrats and the White House and

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: Leader McConnell with regards to economic stimulus. All of that,

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: plus I'll take you live to the White House in

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: the next hour when President Trump steps behind the podium

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: for his daily briefing. I'll bring you that as it happens.

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: But I'm still focused on geo politics. A major breakthrough

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: in geo politics in the Middle East, as Israel and

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: the u a E have agreed to establish ties and

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: Israel has agreed to suspend efforts to declare sovereignty over

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: parts of the West Bank. Reading now from the Bloomberg terminal,

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: my colleagues report Israel and the United Israel and the

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: U a E. Reached an agreement to begin normalizing relations,

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: potentially historic breakthrough, hailed by American and Israeli leaders as

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: a crucial step toward peace. Yet assailed by Palestinian officials

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: as a betrayal. We welcome now to the program. Av Berkowitz.

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: He is a White House Assistant to the President and

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: Special Representative for International Negotiations. Obvis thank you for making time.

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,279
Speaker 1: What when or first? How did this deal come about? So, Kevin,

24
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: thank you so much for having me on. And if

25
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: I could just take a quick moment just to recognize

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: President Trump, without whom this historic agreement could not have

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: been reached. In addition, Prime Minister Natanio and Crown Prince

28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: Mohammed Inzayet of United Arab Emirates, the three leaders, you know,

29
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: tremendous courage coming together to make this agreement. UH. This

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: has been in the works for some time, led by

31
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: Jared Kushner. The team has been in consultations, but it

32
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: was numerous Arab and Muslim countries. But about it. Over

33
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: a year ago we felt we had a bit of

34
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: a breakthrough with the United Arab Emirates, so we continued

35
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: to have consultations, discussions, and obviously, UH in January of

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: this year, we put out the Vision for Peace, which

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: is the administration's peace plan um too for the conflict

38
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: between the Israelis and Palestinians. But ultimately with the Corona

39
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: and all of the you know, difficult things that sort

40
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: of arise as you're trying to help UH run things. Uh.

41
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: You know, this sort of fell a little bit behind UM,

42
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: and over the last few weeks, probably about six seven weeks,

43
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: it really emerged. One of the sort of important components

44
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: was sort of the application of Israeli law. The July

45
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: one deadline that Prime Minister Natanio had set created a

46
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: bit of a sort of push in the region for

47
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: people to decide if there was something sort of else

48
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: that perhaps was was was perhaps better to be focused

49
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: on at the at this moment. UH. And so when

50
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: the United Arab Emirates sort of reached out to us,

51
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: we were very excited to follow up with them. And

52
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: today is sort of, you know, it coming to fruition.

53
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, the Palestinians have reacted by going into an

54
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: emergency session. What does this mean? Does this further isolate

55
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: the Palestinians And what reaction are you anticipating from them? So,

56
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, the Palestinians, I personally speak to Palestinian business

57
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: people and you know, I obviously won't name any because

58
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: it creates complications for them. But the people that I'm

59
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: speaking to understand that this is actually a really positive

60
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: historic step forward. When we put out the Vision for

61
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: Peace as we call it on January twenty of this year, UH,

62
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: it's sort of way to framework and it's perhaps something

63
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: that some people like and don't like, but it's a

64
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: framework of beginning for discussion. It's something that could be

65
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: changed if the Palestinians would come to the table and negotiate.

66
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of Arab countries, specifically in

67
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: the Gulf UH sort of saw this as an opportunity

68
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: because here's a plan, it's ready when the Palestinians are

69
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: ready to come to the table, there's what to negotiate over.

70
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: It's a two state solution. It calls for a specific

71
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: map with borders, and you know, leaders in the region,

72
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: I believe, no longer want to allow that conflict to

73
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: hold a veto over their progress and their stability and

74
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: their economic initiatives and their prosperity. And so what we've

75
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: found is that the Palestinians unfortunately have not engaged, but

76
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: the opportunity is there for them. But their ability to

77
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: stop progresses also being stimute and so we're we're pretty

78
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: excited about that. And it's my sincere hope that they

79
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: called me. I reach out to them all the time.

80
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: UM not embarrassed to admit I call them. They don't

81
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: call me back, and you know, that's their opportunity. Uh,

82
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: it's it's it's you know, it's unfortunate, but I hope

83
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: that perhaps their their opinion will change. Avi Berkowitz is

84
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: on the line. He has the Assistant to the President

85
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: and Special Representative for international negotiations. We're talking about the

86
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: Israel u A deal, the u A e becoming the

87
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: third Arab country to open relations with Israel, the other

88
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: two being Egypt and Jordan's all right, So when I

89
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: when I spoke with Jered, when I was speaking with

90
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: UM officials earlier this year, following the announcement and the

91
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: rollout of the Middle East Piece Plan, one of the

92
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: the you can't talk about this and not talk about Iran.

93
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: And I asked you about the Palestinians. But what role

94
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: did the distrust a v in Iran, in Tehran in particular,

95
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: and the oppressive regime in Iran? What role did that

96
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: play in helping to broker the Israeli's and U a

97
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: e in this normalization. Yeah, I mean, I think you

98
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: make a great point. Um, the region, you know, it

99
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: sort of has a bit of a choice to go

100
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: towards Iran sort of way of thinking, with proxies and

101
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: militias causing you know, terrible acts throughout the region, or

102
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: to take a right you know, and uh, follow a

103
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: path of peace, security and stability. And you know, the

104
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: President has been extraordinarily clear that he has nothing against

105
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: the Iranian people. He knows that they are smart, accomplished,

106
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: really impressive people who have unfortunately been held hostage by

107
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: their situation. And it's our hope that everybody in the

108
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: region will see today's announcement, see that opportunity. It's exciting, right,

109
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's peace. It's such an exciting thing. I mean,

110
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: who doesn't want to take the first flight from Habu

111
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: Dhabi to Tel Aviv. I would love to be on

112
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: that flight. Maybe you can join me. I'm just super excited.

113
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: You know. It's funny, but in the age of Corona,

114
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: you sort of have to even rethink peace agreements a

115
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: little bit in the ways that you might not initially

116
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: have thought through. Um. But you know, eventually when people

117
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: are allowed to go to places again, Uh, it's going

118
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: to be a very exciting, you know thing, and and

119
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: tourism is going to pick up. It's you know, it's

120
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: it's really going to change the region in ways that

121
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: we may not even be able to sort of realize

122
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: at this time. And that's why there's really smart, innovative

123
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: people throughout the region that are that are going to

124
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: figure that out. You know. I remember on the first

125
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: international trip when President Trump took that flight from Saudi

126
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: Arabia to uh to Israel, and and just the significance

127
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: and and and one thing that people of all different

128
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: faiths and all different beliefs can recognize is the importance

129
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: of how important that land is and that region is.

130
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: Two people of all different uh faiths. I gotta ask

131
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: you in terms of reaction, are you concerned at all?

132
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Or what is being done to address the concerns that

133
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: this might embolden there? I say, it has blah and

134
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: and what how does that factor into this? So you know,

135
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: Lebanon isn't a sort of really for Harry is complicated

136
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: place at this time, obviously after what took place the

137
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: other day in Beirut. So you know, I think it

138
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: sort of comes down to when a good thing is

139
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: going to happen, do you sort of allow the spoilers

140
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: of the world, the people who have bad intentions, to

141
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: try to sort of scare you into submission, or do

142
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: you pursue what you think is just. And what I

143
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: love about President Trump and what's so, you know, I'm

144
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: so appreciative of him is that he sort of gives

145
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: you the bandwidth to pursue what he believes and knows

146
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: to be right. And as a result, I think his

147
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: administration has accomplished historic successes in the Middle East and

148
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: today is just one more example of that. And we're

149
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: just we're all really very excited. And so as a

150
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: result of this, what does this do a Berkowitz for

151
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: the next phase of the Vision for peace? Is there

152
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: room for a multilateral deal between these in the Arab States?

153
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: Are go ahead? I apologize for interrupting. Yeah, the it's

154
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: it's a great point, um. Jared Kushner, who has led

155
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: these Negotia creations, alluded to this. Today we are having

156
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: high level conversations with numerous other Arab and Muslim countries

157
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: and we we truly believe that this is an ice breaker,

158
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: that this is something that could have a domino effect

159
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: for other countries in the region that could lead them

160
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: towards you know, perhaps full normalization or direct flights or

161
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: or other historic steps and and and we've been in

162
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: contract with them as as recently as today about about

163
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: these things. And you know, when you're working in agreement,

164
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: it's hard to sort of focus too much on on

165
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: other agreements up. You know, it's it's a little difficult,

166
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: but you still have to. And you know, we're hopeful

167
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: that that in the coming weeks and months that we'll

168
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: be able to pursue other diplomatic accomplishments as it relates

169
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: to normalization, but also while keeping our our vision on

170
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: on on the you know, the deal division for peace

171
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: between the Israelis and the Palestinians, because you know, that's

172
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: a big problem, right, the sort of that does not

173
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: go away, and and and the palace any and people

174
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: deserve to have better lives. And I've sort of tried,

175
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, any way I could to sort of reach

176
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: out to their leadership and just really sort of expressed

177
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: that I think I think there's opportunity for us if

178
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: we were talking to come to the table and find

179
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: some sort of agreement and I'm hopeful that that that

180
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: that they'll know agree to do so and time will

181
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: tell and and you know, thanks, you know, thankfully President

182
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: Trump was able to accomplish what he did today and

183
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: hopefully more will be happening soon. Just a couple more

184
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: questions for Av Berkowitz, who is joining us from the

185
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: White House. Is there going to be a signing? Is

186
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: do you think that we're going to get a signing

187
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: at the White House between Prime Minister net and Yahoo

188
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: and uh some officials. Yes, I do believe so we

189
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: were you want to tell me when? Uh? Yeah, I

190
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: would like to know that too. We're we're in discussions.

191
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: You know, these things are are complicated. Also Corona is

192
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: a complicating component. But as the case that you know

193
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: it so every country has to deal with their own

194
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: sort of you know, internal complications that arise. But we

195
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: are and we are discussing it and and we're hopeful

196
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: that in the coming coming weeks will have something very

197
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: exciting at the White House. And just a final question

198
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: to you, just to go back to this issue of

199
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: the Middle East piece plan. Do do you think that

200
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: this development will further put pressure on the Palestinians. And

201
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to go into the specifics

202
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: if you're talking to you, but do you think this

203
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: will further put pressure on them to suggest? You know

204
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: what this is another now Arab state that is that

205
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: is looking at this new shift in the region, looking

206
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: at the economic ties, looking at the tourism opportunity, the

207
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: long term investments, looking at the way that the geopolitics

208
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: in the region is shifting, both from a generational perspective,

209
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: from a cultural perspective, and from a policy economic perspective.

210
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: Does this put more pressure on that on the Palestinians

211
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: to to go more in line with the vision for peace? Yeah?

212
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's a great point. It's a great question,

213
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: and I think the answer is probably. Uh. It's sometimes

214
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: hard to predict how people will sort of react to things,

215
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: but what I think is certain is that the Palestinian

216
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: people are very smart, educated people. They're going to see

217
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: this news, They're gonna wander, you know, when is our

218
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: deal coming? You know, this is something that is you know,

219
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: years decades in the making, and now the Marati people

220
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: have something to be excited about, as do the Israelis.

221
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: And I would imagine that Palestinian people themselves are sort

222
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: of curious of, well, you know, what is our leadership

223
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: doing to propel us towards a resolution? And so it's

224
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: our sincere hope that they'll come to the table in

225
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: the near future, and whenever they're ready, I'll be here waiting.

226
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: So I'm excited. All right, We're gonna have to leave

227
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: it there. I want to thank Av Berkowitz for calling

228
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: in here. Of course, is uh the Assistant to the

229
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: President and Special Representative for International negotiations, calling in on

230
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: a crucial day for his team. Uh and as it

231
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: relates to the Israeli U a E Agreement
