israel s prime minister benjamin netanyahu. prime minister, when we last talked before you were prime minister, just a few months ago, you had hinted that you thought there was going to be some movement on relations between saudi arabia and israel. you managed to normalize relations with bahrain and the unite united arab emirates. but the saudis and the emiratis are concerned about the rising level of violence between israeli government and palestinians. is that going to put a freeze on your plans which were, i think, to normalize relations with saudi arabia? well, first, we re doing everything to make sure that the forces that are basically financed and equipped and pushed by iran, that are trying to foment this violence around our borders and within our borders,
