There's a report in Axios that Netanyahu is fuming over this. He doesn't, Israel doesn't feel
bound to the MOU as it relates to Lebanon. If, as you mentioned, your frustration with Israel
strike is real striking in Beirut in apartment buildings. If that continues, could it torpedo
the deal? And what would the U.S.'s response be to a broader war in Lebanon? Yeah, well,
I don't want to get into hypotheticals that could torpedo the deal because I think the
President's expectation is that all of our friends, the Israelis, the Arabs in the region,
we're going to work together and actually see this deal to completion. Now, I saw the Axios report,
you know, that Netanyahu is fuming. That's not reflective of the conversations that I've had
with him, but maybe he's saying something to somebody else that he's not saying to me.
What I will say, and this does bother me, is that you've seen people within
Bibi's cabinet who have come out and attacked the deal and in some ways very personally attacked
the President of the United States. And I guess my message to them would be twofold.
Number one, Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to
the nation of Israel at this moment in time. And he happens to be the head of state of the world's
superpower. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking
the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world. And the second message I
would give to some of those cabinet members, Bibi, to his credit, has not gone down this path,
but to some of these cabinet members in Israel who are attacking the President of the United States,
the other thing that I would say is that over the last three months,
two-thirds of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by
American hands and paid for by American tax dollars. The problem for Israel is not Donald J.
Trump. And anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United
States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in. Thank you all.
