Only been against and has been elected on the basis from day one of standing against, if they were to accept that, the united states would arrangeing for saudi arabia to recognize israel and normalize relations which in theory would lead to other arab neighbors doing so. sounds like an interesting idea. any possibility of it being true or getting any traction? i think it s very likely true. i don t have 100% confirmation but in jerusalem people are operating as if that were an option on the table. the issue is the united states doesn t control what saudi arabia does, what the palestinians will do. i think it s possible with netanyahu although it puts him in a terrible, terrible corner. which may be what the biden administration wants to tie his hands. because he s promised israelis only he can bring peace with saudi arabia. saudi arabia is the hold up. the 60-year-old israeli, the
Government and the united states were in positive negotiations moving forward toward a recognition of israel by the saudis and a reconciliation, frankly regional, economic and security alignment between israel and all of the arab states. one of the greatest successes of american leadership and diplomacy in the middle east was the camp david peace accords that ended the act of war between egypt, jordan and israel. if we were going to build on the last administration and finally end the arab israel conflict, that would shut out iran and prevent them from having the ability to manipulate the region and impose the horrifying costs that they have done to their proxies, hezbollah, hamas. and the houthi. i think we need to say to mr. netanyahu, you have a path forward. you have to show path toward
Damascus. this is a guy for the last 20 years has been in charge of arming the iranian proxies. right. he had a direct role in the attacks of october 7th through arming hamas. he armed hezbollah and the uthies in the south. israel is surrounded by this and iran has been resurgeant. right. israel has lived on the fear of hostile arab neighbors but houthis, hamas, hezbollah, arab groups provided for by iran. and directly trained by iran which this gentlemen also did. speaking of the arab countries surrounding israel, jordan with which israel has a peace s accord, saudi arabia which it doesn t but it hopes to. there is some talk of that happening. these countries took part along side united states and great britain in the air
And we can move forward. whether or not there is a motion to remove speaker johnson, we will see going forward. right now, we need to pass ukrainian aid as soon as possible. tom llamas interview the iranian foreign minister yesterday, i want your reaction. when you attacked israel, you telegraphed that attack, you let other arab nations know it was happening. did any other country tell iran this attack was coming ? translator: what happened was not a strike. did they say you will attack? translator: they are more like toys our children play with. interesting response, given that i ran and his rhetoric
The arab states involved. so we re trying to keep peace in the region, but it s becoming very hard to do. it s kind of like a rough retried to stop between two guys who are flailing at each other and you re going to get punched on both sides when it comes to the conflict in ukraine the president biden has been very clear. there. they re going to be limits to how involved the united states is. do you think that there will be any limits when it comes to israel that they know that remains to be seen. i mean, i think this is saturday was very unusual, not only in the direct rating attack, but also in the direct us response and of course, a lot of ukrainians were saying, well, why isn t the us defending us the way they re defending israel? but i think there is a logic here that the us is desperately trying to prevent a wider war in the region. and so now the issue is did israel ignore us warnings not to attack iran? and if so, do we wind up defending israel anyway, from the inevitable iranian counter attack, max boot. thank you very much for sticking with us all of this
Arab neighbors. and that is attack happens tonight. i m thinking, given what dan just said, this might be what you would consider a measured response. that all of this might be playing out in the background. the pressure by the united states to say, do not get us into world war iii. just a correction, i studied with the american university of beirut. the impression i went for about 30 years now. from the early 70s to today, i have reported that on them at least, and i lived in lebanon and hezbollah and hamas people. i have been to iran i have been so many places around the middle east. my impression, from this long experiences that, most of the american establishment and analysis of the middle east is incomplete. and imprecise. and i would say that, unlike
And i think from israel standpoint last week, when is, when iran was attacking israel, all of a sudden the world, after having turned on israel for the violence of its attack and gaza the world rallied around israel and israel had tremendous cooperation from jordan and other arab states. and i think that s something that israel should try to build on. and really the way to deal with the iranian threat. i think long-term from the israeli perspective is to draw closer to the sunni arab states to get the deal with saudi area back on for saudi arabia to recognize israel, that would be a much more massive win for israel than a random strike on some target and iran, but clearly that s where we are. we re in this military for tat game right now. yeah. i don t get the impression just from the conversations we ve been having this evening where you ve got at a national pride issue from hardline right on the right end iran, that there is potential to conceal the damage to build perhaps propaganda or response this
Behavior toward israel and other countries has failed. the future u.s. administration can make it clear to israel that america supports undermining and overthrowing the tehran dictatorship. army combat veteran and senator joni ernst, thank you for being on the program today. first of all, are we inching our way closer to a wider war in the middle east? that s not a foregone conclusion, harris. what we do know is that israel, when they were attacked over the weekend by iran, saw the response from a number of other arab countries that actually stepped up to defend their own airspace and israel s interests. so i am with israel, i am thankful they did strike iran. they retaliated just as they should. but what iran needs to keep in mind is that there is a very
Strong group of arab nations that do support israel. they don t agree with the attacks by hamas on october 7th. they are in the abraham accords. we know that saudi arabia is trying to move forward with their own plans with israel to strengthen ties. so i think iran needs to be very careful about this. they need to think carefully. but president joe biden has got to step up. he can t continue to appease iran. harris: so far he only knows f four words, don t and take the win. what does it do when you tell an ally to just take it when the enemy hits it? it is unacceptable in my opinion. president joe biden shouldn t be bowing down to the iranian regime. he shouldn t be telling the israelis how they should be fighting their war. what he should be doing is saying israel, we will stand
