Ties with israel. The president , who helped broker both agreements, expects others to follow suit. Pres. Trump we made a deal with uae, then bahrain came in and we have many others going to be coming in over a short period of time. The palestinians will come in, too. You will have peace in the middle east. This is outnumbered, im harris faulkner. Here today, melissa francis, host of kennedy on fox business kennedy, executive director of serve america and Fox News Contributor marie and joining us in the Virtual Center seat, Washington Times opinion editor and Fox News Contributor charlie hurt. I mentioned history to be made this hour and were all here for it. Well get to everybody in a moment, i want to first go to chief White House Correspondent john roberts, he is there on the lawn. John, what is the very latest . John good afternoon from the south lawn of the white house. Hundreds of people are assembled for the signing of what is known as the Abraham Accords. The president is with israelis Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. I can see the adem bell assem pools. Here is how it will unfold on the south balcony behind the president ial seal, there is a podium. President trump will come up and speak and israelis Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu will speak and then the foreign minister from the United Arab Emirates, the brother of defactor leader, and foreign minister of bahrain will speak and come down and sign the Abraham Accords. This is a watershed moment in the history of the middle east, maybe not as significant as camp david accord in 1978, which established peace between egypt and israel after fighting several wars against each other or joe jordan and israel in 199. Normalization of relations is a very important one and part of the strategy, the president has of surrounding palestinians with peace or normalization agreements to force them to the table. The were seeing reaction to that in the gaza and west bank where hamas and fatah say they have to present a united front against what is happening in the arab world here. The president is banking eventually the palestinians will see the writing on the wall and say we have to come to the table, as well. As much as this is normalization of relations in diplomatic and trade, military component to it. The United Arab Emirates really wants United States built f35 fighters. This morning on fox and friends, President Trump said he would be happy to sell them to them. Listen to what he said. Pres. Trump i know the leader very well mohammad, i would have no problem selling to them. Tremendous jobs at home. Talking about a large number of planes, reasonably large number of planes, not the biggest. John the f35 comes in various configurations it is most advanced fighter and the thought of United Arab Emirates having f35s gives israel heartburn. It is likely in the conversation going on right now in the oval office between the president and Benjamin Netanyahu, that may be a slight point of contention. Overall, harris, what we will see is history unfold for the fourth time since the creation of israel, normalization of relations between israel and two arab neighbors. Quite a day. Harris the beautiful part of what you are describing, no matter how chippy it gets over fighter jets, they are having the conversations right now, Just Moments Away perhaps signing a peace deal. So already the ground is changing. John roberts, thank you so very much, well come back as the news warrants. Bring back the virtual couch and welcome in a special guest, the former israelis ambassador to the united nations, ambassador dan gilerman, live frtel aviv. How does this change not Just Relationships and friendships, but also economics. You heard our correspondent john roberts talking there and the military expectations in the region . Dan this is a watershed moment and as you all know, we all anxiously awaiting a vaccine against covid19. I hope it will be available soon, but what were witnessing today is actually a vaccine against war in the middle east. It is indeed a very significant move, which i believe will prevent any further wars because what were witnessing today is significant representatives of the arab and muslim world who have finally realized that israel is not their enemy, the threat does not emanate from jerusalem, but from tehran. They have made the wise choice to align with israel in order to together, not only face the threat of the extremists in tehran, but make the most of incredible capabilities we all have in this region. This will lead to tremendous Economic Cooperation to innovation, to creativity, it will help both all countries involved, both bahrain and the United Arab Emirates and i hope others will follow, especially the saudis and maybe others and we will actually witness a new reality in the middle east. It is a very, very important day and it is also changing the paradigm because until recently the arab world said we will not make peace with israel, not normalize relations, but the palestinians have yet again proved that they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity, they could have accepted the president s peace plan and they could have embarked on a on peace with israel. Instead, they keep saying no and at the end of the day, their arab neighbors, who want to live in peace and make the most of the great resources we all have, have decided to make peace with israel, normalize relations. I think it is significant economically, militarily, im not that happy about the f35 being available to the emirates not because i am afraid they will use them against israel, proximity to the iranians and threat of Technology Finding way to iranian hands. Im sure the president and this Administration Issue as the u. S. Always has, will make sure israel maintains kwathe age militarily, we live in fragile and unpredictable region. This is a great day and hopefully a vaccine against war. Harris amen. Melissa ambassador, this is melissa francis. If i could ask about the approach, the president has taken a completely different, very patient and very deliberate approach. He started out moving the embassy, his next step made sure and emphasized to the world that the u. S. Is energyindependent, therefore shifting that dependence on the region. Then he started to make deals with the players around the perimeter, rather than as you pointed out, starting with the palestinians or iranians, we will make other deals around the region in order to maybe isolate the palestinians and by extension, the iranians and have everybody else sort of benefiting from the ties from the economic ties, from the normalization. Do you think that this approach in the longterm will be more effective . Others obviously had what looked like very significant peace deals that didnt hold together, do you think this has more staying power, sir . Dan yes, i do believe that this is here to stay and i do believe that this is a very wise and very original, but thoughtful new strategy by the president. As you said, time and time again, for years, u. S. Administrations and israelis administrations have tried to bring the israelis and palestinians together. We were very near who at the last minute walked away from them. I think the president realized that the middle east as the whole world is changing, people dont want wars and conflicts anymore. People want to live in peace and make the most of their resources, to give their people a better life and to be arab and the arab and Muslim States have realized real fight is supremacy in their region, between two countries that are not arab, that is turkey and iran. They have decided to take fate into their own hands and to agree to the president s strategy, which says we will now recognize israel. We will normalaize relations with israel. We will enter into Economic Cooperation and other cooperations with israel and at the end of the day, what theyre really saying to the palestinians is enough is enough. You have had your chance, weve always tried to perfect you and look after your interest, but saying no time and time again is not the answer. The real answer, palestinians should have yes, but, and then maybe we could have embarked on some kind of understanding. Now that the other arab and Muslim States and especially the emirates in bahrain and i hope others, including saudi arabia, will follow, have created a situation where the palestinians understand they have been left behind, that the real interest of their breathren is to live i peace and normalcy and improve the standard of living of their people. If the palestinians dont hurry up and join this train, which has already left the station, but maybe there will be a station on the way where they can jump on it, they would be making a huge mistake because they will be left alone and all theyll have at their disposal is the horrible terror, gangs of hamas and hezbollah, who at the end of the day are making the lives of palestinians worse and the palestinians really care about their people, they should join those other enlightened mother arab states and say okay, lets do it together. And im sure that if they do, this indeed will be the end result of what i do believe is a very, very successful strategy by the president , by the administration, by jared kushner, who i understand played a major role in it. I salute all of them for the effort. It didnt look like it had a great chance at the beginning, but today at the white house we are truly witnessing history and witnessing a new chapter and indeed a new middle east. Harris with that former israelis ambassador to the United States, ambassador gillerman, you find a way to tell us what the stakes are and hearing you almost directly talk to those not at the table for this, you said, i quote you, the palestinians who never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity, tough words, tough love not to be missed. There is a lot going on, we appreciate you joining us live from israel. Night time your time and always the right time to have you, a pleasure to have you part of the show. Thank you, sir. Dan thank you very much, great to be with you. Harris charlie, i come to you first, you know, there are a couple things you really cant miss and when you look at the moment and we heard john roberts talk about, you know, egypt in 1978 and jordan in 1994, these are the third and fourth arab states now to normalize relations with israel. So the list is short, these moments are always big. But ive heard you point out that we arent seeing as much coverage of this asa we should. Is that still the case and why do you feel that is significant to say today . John well, any discussion about the coverage we see of anything that goes on these days has to sort of center around President Trump and i think a lot of people in the media are loathed to give credit for anything. The New York Times tried to dismiss this Development Today as some sort of a gift from Benjamin Netanyahu to President Trump in an Election Year as if Benjamin Netanyahu hasnt fought for peace for his country for his entire political career. It is stinginess we see. President trumps critics are always going into hysterics about how he does things differently, they dont like who he talks to, how he talks, but this right here is the fruit of somebody doing something differently. Melissa pointed out earlier, hes willing to reinvent the wheel here. Two other points are important. One is in reinventing the wheel, first thing he did was stop kowtowing and getting into bed with iran and stop giving them billions of dollars of palettes of cash. Iran is state terrorism, not good idea to give them money befriend them to seek peace, that will not work. The second important point, this kind of success begets success. When you develop a real economy in the middle east that israel is the sort of a linchpin in, that opens up an opportunity for others to come out into the light of peace and if that happens and the media can be fair about it, President Trump will go down in history as a one of the great master minds of peace in the world. Again, if he gets credit for it. Harris yeah, you know, history has a way of looking back and seeing it irrespective of what was going on and maybe the hearts and minds of the people tweeting, so on and so forth. Well hope history gets it right. 1978 and 1994 were important, not everybody can tell you how normalization of israel came about, but can tell you significance of them. Kennedy, i dont know if you caught it, Jared Kushners name coming from the mouth of ambassador gillerman, former ambassador for israel at the u. N. Im wondering when you talk about reinventing the wheel and having different voices at the table, now if there is more clarity around what jared kushner, the president s soninlaw and Senior Advisor might have been doing in the middle east. There were criticisms and questions and so on and so forth, are we seeing anything clearer today . Kennedy obviously hes one of the president s most trusted advisors. He does think nontraditionally in a way we havent seen typical establishmentarians operate within the white house and his work here and on criminal Justice Reform have been very fruitful. Another thing the ambassador also said, he mentioned saudi arabia and getting saudi arabia onboard and capitalizing on their fomo, could be something that really brings about stability and peace through prosperity in the middle east. Because what they are going to see is the United States now that our economies are inextrickably linked with canada and mexico this, is the western world. These are consumers. We move into postfossil fuel age, saudi arabia is going to have to modernize at least economically, they see other countries doing business with israel, doing business with the west, they know they are in danger of being left behind. Harris nothing speaks as loud as the economics of a situation as we bear down 49 days away from an election and people say always it is the economy and now a few other things. Marie, as i come to you, having been at the state department, this is a day that both sides of the political aisle want. I would imagine it is a day we all can celebrate in. What do you think is the way that history for democrats in particular, will look back on this day and say, this happened, this happened. How will they see it through a political lens . Well, democrats and republicans have been pressing gulf states to recognize israel, that should have been done decades ago, we had seen over past years quiet discussion between the gulf states, including saudi arabia and israel. Thought it was extraordinary to hear the israelis ambassador openly embrace relationship with saudi arabia, a country with huge antisemitic history and current tone in many ways. But harris, what this shows, the arab states who were united in supporting the palestinians in helping them work to get a homeland, now care more about iran and the palestinians, a people without a state, a people whose land in the west bank in gaza has been increasingly taken over by israeli settlements today, were at a place where while they were negotiating with israel, more and more of the land they have been living on has been taken. I think the iranian threat is important and israel and gulf states standing together economically and militarily against the threat is very important. We are left today with a group of people, human beings who have no rights, no representative government, who are still under occupation and no plan, no pressure from the arab side, to advance that peace process. And so, i think that is one of the things well be looking for going forward, that the arab states may have economic ties with israel, certainly, but the palestinians are the ones who are left out here in an increasingly perilous situation and well see if approximate there is any ability to get them to the table. Im dubious of that. Harris yeah. The former israelis ambassador we just had on, gillerman was saying the same thing, speaking directly to anybody who might carry that message to those watching today from afar or wanting to know the news from afar that comes out of this. You know, there is still hope to come to the table, but you got to take the first step. Were watching the situation. The israelis Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu just wrapped up talking with the president. As the remarks come live, we can show you via tape. Stay with us.
