Suggest to our friends especially our european friends this point that when arabs and israelis agree on something it makes sense to Pay Attention so congratulations understand under snapback and your overall opposition to irans aggression and its quest for Nuclear Weapons the 2nd thing that has happened. Is equally as stark and that is the achievement of the israeli. Peace agreement the creation of full normalization between israel and the United Arab Emirates this is been brokered by President Trump with your assistance and it has been a boon to peace and to regional stability i think it holds a new era where we could have other nations joint we discuss this and i hope well have good news in the future maybe in the near future. I think it makes sense we have 2 of the most advanced economies in the world. Brimming with innovation israel in the u. A. E. Its a natural fit and the support of the United States makes this. I think something with International Ramifications this is the alliance of the moderates against the radicals against those who use. Violence and aggression to further their aims against those who believe that we can offer a better people a Better Future for our people through cooperation its. I think its it spells a change in the middle east its the 1st time in a quarter of a century that we have a Peace Agreement and i want to thank again the president and you and your administration for helping bring it about i have to. Say simply that this deal did not include israels. Acceptance of any arms deal and i dont know of any arms deal that has been agreed upon may be contemplated our position hasnt changed but i also learned from. Secretary pompano. Heard again a very very strong commitment that under all circumstances the United States will ensure israels qualitative edge that has been proved to be true over 4 decades of peace with egypt to have their kids of peace with jordan United States stood by that commitment and i know i have no doubt that it will continue to do so so mike i want to thank you for your friendship and for your support in the quest for peace and security which were actually achievement thank you and welcome and thank you i thank you mr Prime Minister thanks for the warm welcome it is its great to be back again as you said that im a frequent visitor here and each time we build on the relationship about our military relationship that gets focused on our security relationship but also our economic. Listen ship to building out opportunities we talked about chances for countries to Work Together as the whole world tries to push back against this virus that came from well hunt china and im confident there are places which are our medical systems and pharmaceutical companies will build out a good solution to keep by israelis americans and people all across the world a safer and healthier in the weeks and months ahead. I appreciate your support present trumps make clear iran will never have a Nuclear Weapon and we are determined to use every tool that we have to ensure that they cant get access to high end Weapons Systems air Defense Systems the ones that the Prime Minister spoke of we think its in the best interest of the whole world many of these leaders tell me so privately its time to stand up time to publicly account for the fact that iran is on the cusp on october 18th of having access to those weapons and the money that will come from their sale of those weapons that will be used to inflict real harm not only in the middle east but in europe as well and so im confident that will achieve that and i welcome israeli and gulf states support for our effort the people most impacted by iran having Weapons Systems are all in favor of this arms embargo being extended the rest of the world should join us. We had a chance to i want to come here today in part to congratulate the Prime Minister will travel to the emirates to meet with them and congratulate them to whats taken place here is deeply consistent with what President Trump set out to do create a more stable more prosperous middle east this is a really good step in that direction economic relationship between the emirates opportunities for innovation and science travel between these 2 places will now be open and thats important thats important to create between israel and this arab state this opportunity. The Prime Minister spoke to the security commitments that were made. The United States has a legal requirement was back to qualitative military edge we will continue to honor that but we have a 20 plus year security relationship with the United Arab Emirates as well where we have provided them with Technical Assistance and military assistance we will now continue to review that process to continue to make sure that were delivering them with the quick meant that they need to secure and defend their own people from this same threat from this Islamic Republic of iran as well we are deeply committed to doing that to achieving that and will do in a way that preserves our commitment to israel as well im confident the both of these objectives can be achieved and ive watched and watched over these last days as they were the 1st inklings of the benefits you were telling a story about a young person playing piano i think well see stories like this as i traveled through the rest of this trip im very hopeful that we will see other arab nations join in this the opportunity for them to work alongside to recognize the state of israel and to work alongside them will not only increase middle east ability but improve the lives and each of them for the people of their own countries as well. We talked a little bit about the challenge that the Chinese CommunistParty Presents to the entire world i think the world is now seeing this and then lastly President Trump told me i would be remiss if i didnt once again say thank you for all that you have done to work alongside us to keep the security to keep this relationship built. Weve done our part in moving the embassy here by recognizing the reality of what the Golan Heights is by acknowledging. That the settlements are not per se unlawful these are the kinds of things that nations can do together to work to increase the security and stability for our 2 countries and for the region as well it has been a great relationship it will continue to be a great relationship and it was an honor for me to be with you here again today mr Prime Minister thank you you came on a day when the mask on theodore. As its right behind you there has been removed but the. Secretary spoke about cooperation covert we just had an interesting discussion about the United States obviously is leading the world in this effort is rose making its own network we are exploring now the possibility of combining on everetts joining. In ways to find both a vaccine and other ways to alleviate this horrible disease and this isnt any other field we have no friends in the United States of america thank you mr thank you tess from high street. Even watching a press conference by the u. S. Secretary of state might pump a 0 and the israel Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu might come peo is in jerusalem at the start of a 5 day middle eastern 2 of which is focused on israels normalizing of ties with the United Arab Emirates and these are attempts to push other arab states to follow suit these are pictures just from now lou of the 2 men walking into the podium before the start of this press conference we heard benjamin not to and thats in yahoo commiserating essentially with my pump a 0 on the fact that the u. S. Administration last week had attempted to take a controversial step at the u. N. Security council triggering the restoration of International Sanctions on iran but that was rejected by 13 of the 15 Council Members but also talked about there are a wide variety of Different Things including the apartment perceived threat from iran from china the reaction to covert 19 i want to bring in Harry Fawcett whos live for us in west jerusalem just give us some of the background as to why this particular trip is being managed. Well yeah i mean that there are several reasons i think for the u. S. Administration that one as you heard from from both men then was to emphasize the common interests in the region both on combating iran as they see it trying to buttress more support for the u. S. Position and the israeli position to extend arms embargoes and get the snap back of the j c. P. O. A deal in place despite the fact of course the United States pulled out of the j c p o e p o a iran deal also to talk up what has just been done between israel and the United Arab Emirates in terms of the normalization deal and as you heard from pump a 0 to try to to persuade more such countries to follow through to follow suit he will be traveling to sudan to buff rein and to the u. A. E. On this trip potentially other countries as well and for the u. S. Administration its also an opportunity to talk about what has been done so far in terms of moving the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem recognizing jerusalem as israels capital the recognition of the Golan Heights the recognition he just talked about as far as the United States is concerned that settlements arent per se illegal despite the fact that as far as International Law is concerned theres a broad consensus that they are its worth noting that this is the 1st day of the Republican National convention in the United States later on on monday and controversially pompei will be making a speech from here with a backdrop of jerusalem into that convention remotely that isnt something thats been done in the past by u. S. Secretaries of state went on official government business abroad so thats potentially why he was emphasizing those points at the end of his remarks just now perry thanks very much indeed thats how the foresaid live for us in west jerusalem. Well power is gradually being restored in syria after a major gas pipeline explosion left large parts of the country without electricity firefighters have now put out the blaze on the arab line north east of the capital damascus and this was the scene a few hours ago that are no details yet on what may have caused the explosion but the oil minister is suggesting it could be an act of terror well lets take a closer look at where the blast happened the 1200 kilometer out of gas pipeline delivers natural gas to syria from egypt it fuels power stations in southern syria the explosion hit a section of the pipeline between the tons of. Around 30 kilometers from damascus that caused a drastic drop in gas pressure to nearby power stations causing some shut down. Was in a halt is joining us live now from beirut shes been following the story understands in the u. S. Syria envoy James Jeffrey has said it was almost certainly a strike by i saw of course thats one of the other names for i so that seems to be tallying up with what the minute that the government is saying in syria but do we have any evidence yet to support those claims. Well syrian authorities the syrian minister oil suggesting that this in fact was a terrorist attack he did not provide any further information he didnt point the finger at any particular group and so far there has been no claim of responsibility you mentioned that the fire has since been put out and the electricity being restored but in the early hours of the morning an explosion on that main gaz a pipeline the area is under the control of the Syrian Government in fact there is no rebel presence for miles the closest rebel position or its further south and in the province of that but even there theres a low. Level insurgency and it is the government which has the upper hand now of course there is i so i so is the president further east closer to the border with iraq in central syria or an area known as the bad so James Jeffrey said just think that this is the work of beisel the Syrian Government saying this is a terrorist attack but without providing further information. This is all happening with the backdrop of a meeting of the Syrian Constitutional Committee which is happening in geneva now just talk us through whats happening there. Well thats where geoffrey made his statements that u. S. Special envoy to syria is in geneva hes not taking part in the u. N. Constitutional Committee Meetings but Holding Meetings on the sideline in his words we are attaching a lot of importance to the u. S. Political process the u. S. Led political process has made little progress really over the years and the u. N. Special envoy peterson made it clear that theyre not expecting any breakthroughs this time around but jeffrey statements a few days ago he was pointing to the fact that the Syrian Regime is under a lot of pressure this time around the u. S. Impose further sanctions more strict sanctions not just on the regime but anyone who works with the regime anyone who enriches the regime it includes its allies so what the u. S. Has done really is preventing any country from engaging with the regime or helping in the reconstruction efforts so right now there is a belief on the part of the u. S. Administration that. The syrian president is in a corner and so are his allies so some concessions will have to be made the meetings will last until the end of the week were going to have to wait to see whether or not anything tangible will come out this time around zain thanks very much thats in a whole a lot for us and.
