And they know it. See you later. How do you make it so what did you make of that . Well, i saw a few things in there. One was what i call thoughtterminating cliches. Abc, easy as he just kept saying youll find out. Youll find out. Youll find out. And thats the kind of thing that theres no real answer to. Theres no explanation needed. You can just repeat these things, and theres no way to, kind of, prove or disprove. Youll find out. Waiting for jfk, report from the fringe, a new episode of the whole story with anderson cooper, sunday at 8 00 p. M. Right here on cnn. The news continues. The source with Kaitlan Collins starts now. Tonight, straight from the source, a special one on one with israels Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu, who just spoke with Kaitlan Collins about that Historic Deal that may be on the horizon with saudi arabia. The furor in israel over his controversial judicial overhaul. His relationship with President Trump, and much more. Plus the bars of gold, the hidden stashes of cash and the pressure now growing for a top u. S. Senator, bob menendez, to resign after being indicted once again on corruption charges. And the State Attorney General calls the fake Trump Electors she charged brainwashed. Did she undermine her own case . Im brianna keillor. And this is the source. Good evening. Im in for Kaitlan Collins, who sat down with israels Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu, following his address at the United Nations today and amid what could be a truly historic breakthrough for his country. Netanyahu telling and showing the world earlier what a new middle east could look like. He says israel is on the, quote, cusp of a deal with saudi arabia that would not only normalize their relations but encourage other arab states to do the same. And increased prospects of peace with palestinians. Netanyahu finally met with President Biden wednesday, their first facetoface meeting since netanyahu returned to office. Biden had been keeping his distance, freezing the israeli leader out for nine months over his governments highly controversial attempt to overhaul israels democratic system and reduce oversight of his government. Heres kaitlans oneonone with Prime Minister netanyahu. Mr. Prime minister, thank you for being here. Happy new year. Thank you. To you too. One of the things that you discussed with President Biden when you met here in new york was this potential deal to normalize relations with saudi arabia. We heard from the crown prince, mohammad bin salman. He says he believes that talks are getting closer. How close do you think that they are . Im going to plagiarize. Ill say that every day we get closer. And how close are you today . Closer than we were yesterday. Do you feel that a deal is likely . I think its possible. I think its likely because i think israel, saudi arabia, and the United States share a common goal, to change history, to make this quantum leap, another quantum leap for peace. We had one with the Abraham Accords with the United States, and we now have an opportunity with the United States to change the middle east forever, to create not only not only to bring down the walls of enmity but also to create a corridor of energy pipelines, rail links, fiberoptic cables between asia, through saudi arabia, jordan, and israel, and the united arab emirates. This is an amazing change. And im always careful about these things. I never exaggerate. I think this is a pivot of history. It could be pivotal. But of course any deal with saudi would require something in exchange for the palestinians. What significant concessions are you willing to make with them . I dont think its an exchange. I think they can benefit from this peace. And i think they made a mistake he in not joining the Abraham Accords and just keeping themselves out of it. I think they would be much wiser to enter this and see how they could be part of the process. Part of the process doesnt mean they have veto power over the process. Because if theyll have a veto power over the process, if they had one, in the case of the Abraham Accords, wed never have had the Abraham Accords and wed go for another quarter of a century without peace. So no veto power. Thats what youre not willing to do. What are you willing to do . What are you willing to give the palestinians specifically . Well, these are the things that i discuss with in Discreet Forums in order to get something, a real result, its much better to bring the entire package at one time. But i will say this, and i think its important. I think that making peace with saudi arabia and basically beginning to end the Arab Israeli Conflict will also help us end the palestinian israeli conflict. And i think thats what people miss out. They think, oh, no, you have to first conclude the palestinian israeli conflict and then go to the arab world, go to the inside out approach. I think its the outside in approach that has a better chance. What is on the table . Is it opening the u. S. Consulate, reopening it in East Jerusalem for palestinians . Is it freezing the settlements on the west bank in areas that are earmarked for them . Are those things that are on the table in your view . Well, first of all, whatevers on the table, i will not jeopardize israels National Interest and our security. But i also will not jeopardize success by speaking about it publicly, even on cnn. Okay. So even if you have something in your mind that youre not prepared to say now, that you are willing to give to the palestinians in order to have this deal happen, how could you get that through how could you get your Coalition Government on board with that . I think people dont understand how our system works. My Coalition Partners joined me. I didnt join them. And they will they actually get to be when you actually look at decisions, what we actually do, theyre quite theyre eminently sensible. I mean, they talk the talk, which is obvious. Thats what politicians always do. So, theyre just talking when your Finance Minister says no concessions to the palestinians . Well, i dont want to say what you know, what well end up doing. But i think that when we actually come to the how do you say in baseball . You step to the mat . To the base . To the base. Whatever. Okay. We have to make decisions. And everybody sees the full package of what it is we bring to the state of israel, to the middle east through ourselves and our neighborhood and the world. I think theres a very good chance that everybody will go along. But thats surprising because i mean, you hear what your Finance Minister has said in recent days. Hes previously said that the palestinians dont even exist as a people. I think people have a hard time believing that you could have something where youre giving an exchange to the palestinians and youve also got this coalition on board, even if you say youre the one who makes the decisions here. Well, i just passed to make my point, to stress the point, i just had a security Cabinet Meeting a few weeks ago, and i said our policy, our policy is to prevent the collapse of the palestinian authority. Thats the Governing Body of the palestinians in judea and samaria, the west bank. And we had a vote. Ten people. Ten members of the security cabinet. Eight voted with me. One voted against me. And one on stained. It passed. And thats my point. When you actually make the decisions, you know, its the mainstream decisions that ultimately win out. And i think here theyll be if we are successful in tackling the four, five main components of this agreement, and i believe we can be, i think youre going to get a groundswell of support in israel, on the right, on the left, and from the international community. Would you be willing to blow up your coalition, essentially, to get this deal with saudi done . I dont think itll require that. And i think this you think theyll go along with it . Well, its whether i go along with it. Dont they have to come as well . No, the ultimate test is whether i and my likud partners believe that this is something that but even members of your own party have been skeptical of concessions to the palestinians. I have a democratic party, small d. I have a democratic party. They even criticize me. Can you imagine . Im supposed to be this great dictator. They can say whatever they want. They get elected not by me but by 150,000 registered members of the party. Theyre free to do it. But ultimately if you look at what ive done over the years, you know, when i was elected people said id destroy the economy. Built up an extraordinary economy with our policy. They said ill destroy peace. I made four arab four Peace Treaties with four arab states that nobody believed would happen. But on this deal specifically they said id go to war. Ive been very careful because ive suffered the slings of war. Ive lost friends. I lost my brother. Ive been very pruntd in the way i use military force. And i think but decisive when i have to. I think i can if we overcome these obstacles, and i dont want to minimize them, but if we do, if i do, then i think yes, i think ill carry my coalition and the country with it. Well, lets talk about this deal. Would you be okay with the saudis enriching uranium . I think there are major issues there. Its a very complex problem. So you would not be okay with that . So i think that what would happen is that we would not do anything in any way that would jeopardize israels security. And on this i have to tell you that i stand shoulder to shoulder with President Biden. We have israel and america have no daylight between them on this. Theres also an american law on this matter. So, you know, this is something that we stand on very strongly. What we can do and what we cannot do. And we have no qualms about either side of it. Okay. That sounds like a no. But you mentioned President Biden. After your meeting with him this week, the white house said that he, quote, reiterated his concern about any fundamental changes to israels democratic system absent the broadest possible consensus. How can you deny the damage that your push for this judicial reform is doing to israeliu. S. Relations . Well, i think the damage is not the reform. Its the way the reform is mispresented. Its some kind of collapse of democracy when all were talking about is you know, what were really talking about is how we choose judges. Now, in america the elected officials, your politicians choose judges that have to be confirmed by your by your parliament, by the congress. In israel they say that if that happens there would be a collapse of democracy. You think the white house misunderstands what youre proposing . Well, i home they understand it better now after this discussion. But i think the discussion has been crazy. I mean, has been completely off the rails. It took weve never seen it take this long for an israeli Prime Minister to meet with a u. S. President. And that meeting didnt even happen at the white house. It happened here on the sidelines of the u. N. Summit. Its very clear that they are concerned with this reform. Well, they dont hide it. And i dont hide the fact that they do. But ultimately its our democratic decision which will be prudent and responsible. But i can tell you i took nine months but the meeting was warm and it was a very good meeting. It was a very good meeting and i think can lead to a successful outcome. The Supreme Court is obviously considering parts of that judicial overhaul. Can you say that you are willing to abide by whatever it is that the Supreme Court decides . I think we should abide by the Supreme Court rulings and the Supreme Court should abide by the basic laws that the knesset legislates. I think we should keep both sides of this basic bargain of democracy. Thats not a yes or a no. Thats the right answer. Will you abide by this decision related to this reform specifically . I want to have us continue to abide by the Supreme Court rulings and i want the Supreme Court to continue to abide by the basic laws. And thats i think the correct balance. I think its really notable that you wont answer this question. You wouldnt answer it to wolf blitzer. Youre not answering. And its a yes or no question. Well, its a yes or no question if you also answer the other part. And we havent answered it. I hope we dont get to that. But if they rule tomorrow, what do you do . Well, lets hope that we both do the prudent thing and remain in the basic principles that guide our democracy. You know, in a democracy no one power has absolute power over the other powers. In israel, you know, the Supreme Court has all the checks but no balance. And its important to but its the only check on your coalition, you and your coalition. No, its not. Thats not true. What are the other checks . Well, they can cancel a lot of laws. But do they have the power do they have the power to cancel basic laws . But its so interesting this argument youre making because i looked this up. Its not like they kind of use this all the time, that they strike down a lot of laws. I think its only happened 22 or so times ever. Yeah. Well, thats a lot. Since 1997 theyve only done it 22 times. But they also issued a decision which empowers the Attorney General to knock down any decision made by the government. Any decision made by the government. Can you imagine a system where the Supreme Court tells the Attorney General of the United States, who could pass from one administration to the next, that you can strike down any decision there are more checks and balances in the u. S. No, no, just a minute. Checks and balances. Can you imagine this . And of course not. No country, in no democracy on the planet do you have such powers for the judiciary either directly or through the representative in the Attorney General, the Legal Adviser of the government. In israel the Legal Adviser of the government doesnt advise. Okay. I just think its notable that youre not saying yes or no. But i do want to ask you about one other thing. That one other thing is about former President Trump, who you may remember cursed out netanyahu for congratulating President Biden on his victory. So have they talked .
