leaders of israel, india, and the united arab emirates, let's have a listen to what's being south, even president biden, the prime minister of the state of his. well, we now make his statement followed by the president of the united states. after which we will take questions from the media. prime minister yo la pied, the floor is yours. thank you, mr. president. in march, 1965 on dr. martin luther king's famous march from selma to montgomery. walking beside him in the front row was a jewish rabbi, rabbi r brown, joshua herschel. when he returned home that day, read by her shall wrote in his diary to day i felt my legs were praying. in the state of israel, mister president, our legs pray every single day. nothing is in our lives is taken

for granted. my father was a jewish child in the budapest kettle, hiding from those who tried to kill him. the fact that i am standing here today, devil to happen by itself. we learn the lesson mister present at all times. israel must be strong, free and safe with a powerful army that can defend us. citizens beat joshua crossing the jordan river. doctor king crossing the alabama river. the principal is the same. if you want your independence, your hands must defend you and your legs must pray for you. you must march fearlessly towards the river. this past year with russia's unjustified invasion of ukraine was the iranian nuclear threat becoming more

dangerous. and with the threat of terrorism worldwide, we were all reminded of something in order to protect freedom. sometimes force must be used. nobody wants that, but neither can we shy away from it on the side of terra stan, people who will not hesitate to exploit any weakness. people who don't, who do not play by the rules. those of us were fortunate enough to be born free. people sometimes do not understand their intensity of the hatred behind the attack on democracy. what we, we did we do to them? what makes them crash planes into skyscrapers in new york and fire rockets at kinda gardens in the city of lot. the answer is fear.

what scares them the most is that their citizens, their people, can see us can see our quality of life, the dynamism and creativity of our economy, the rights of women and the algae, beauty, q, community, freedom of religion, freedom of speech. our way of life is what threatens them. it's what makes the iranian regime develop is its nuclear program. his bala aim it's me sighs at us and terrorist organization worldwide, san suicide bombers. they want to destroy the only jewish state in the world that we will never let that happen. words will not stop them. mister president, diplomacy will not stop them. the only thing that will stop iran is knowing that the, if they continue to develop their nuclear program,

the free world will use force. the only way to stop them is to put a credible military threat on the table. you have said many times mr. president, that big countries do not bluff. i completely agree. it should not be a blog, but the real thing, the iranian regime must know that if they continue to deceive the word, they will pay a heavy price. here in the middle east, we have an alternative. now it is growing and gaining power. we are creating an alliance of moderate countries that believe in peace, that believe that our children deserve the opportunity to live a better life. from here from jerusalem, the eternal capital of the state of israel. you will travel to saudi arabia. your

visit to saudi arabia is important for israel and for the entire region. for a secure, at the end, for the future and prospective prosperity of the middle east. we send with you to all the nations of the region, including of course, the palestinians, a message of peace. israel wants peace and believes in peace. we will never yield an inch of our security. we are obligated to be cautious at every step, but to any country, any nation that wants peace and normalization with us, we say our sullen, shallow welcome mr. present, you will meet with the leaders of saudi arabia, katara, quaid, oman, and iraq. i would like you to pass them all a message from us. our hand is outstretched for peace.

we are ready to share our technology and experience ready for our people to meet, to learn about one another, ready for our scientist to collaborate in our businesses to corporate. the book of psalms says, all of this in one word, chapter 29 reads, a shame alls law more than a shimmy of unless it's a mobile shalom, the lord will give strength to his people, the lord with bless his people with peace. if we are strong, if we are determined, if the word understands that we will not hesitate to defend ourselves and our values, peace can come. these to present our relationship runs, the big cross is quality lies. it connects not only all governments,

but those all peoples. this friendship is one of the cornerstones of israel nasa national security. it is moving and it is certainly not taken for granted throughout all your years in public service you are one of the chief architects of this relationship for that you have the ever lasting gratitude of the people of science. thank you mister preston. thank you very much. for mazar and eloquent statement. i'm honor to be back here. the capital of his room. that i said yesterday, i met with every prime minister since gold mayor. and was a pleasure to be able to spend some time with you today to get to know you better.

mister prime minister, a deep love and respect for israel has only taken a deeper hold of my heart and my gut. since i 1st visit here, back in 973, as a young sen, i'm returning from i tend to visit as president this time as president united states. but i've never forgotten what prime minister and mary told me when i was a brand new junior senator from the state of delaware. we're just weeks before the america poor war and she could see on my face that i was worried. as we stood before the press taking questions and pictures, she looked at me and without press series, she said, don't look so worried sen. israel has a secret weapon. i looked at her as i turned my head, and she's going to tell my eyes. i just looked at her, she said, we have no where else to go. i'll never forget what she told me. i was doing 50

years ago. 50 years ago, the threats then were real and the threats to israel remain real today. the scourge of anti semitism still marches around the world. we must never forget the horrors which an unchecked hatred can lead. and that's why i immediately when i returned, i wanted to visit jarvis him. when i land he yesterday to bear witness to remember to renew our vow of never, never again. at the same time, israeli, it is relative of today is not, is israel 50 years ago if cultivated new resources, capabilities, new relationships, including a growing integration with neighbors in the region. you have new tools to keep israel strong and secure. you have an iron clad commitment from the united states

of america to israel security. an iron clad commitment will make sure that israel can defend itself by itself. when i was vice president on the president obama, we passed to record shedding agreement for israel security. $38000000000.00 over a 10 year period. and i was proud. the last serial. so pride an additional $1000000000.00 to replenish israel's iron dome supplies making 2022, the largest single year of military assistance and israel has ever received. yesterday i viewed some of israel's iron dome technology as role as a very promising new iron b technology. a laser enable missile defense system. these technology advances are critical or critical because every rocker with an intercept, it is a potential life perhaps more that has been say as we move forward together,

partners and most security and innovation, the united states and israel defense sectors will cooperate and new high energy laser weapon systems that can defend israel, it's really lives, as well as the lives of americans, service members. israel and the united states also stand together to defend fundamental values and under right, global security prosperity and freedom. just for us, for, for many around the world. and put an assault on ukraine is a challenge. the patients stability everywhere in the world. war must be a strategic failure. and the free world must sustain, resolved to help your grain to apprentice democracy. the united states will continue to support ukraine and ukrainian people who have been devastated and displaced by the russian violence. today. you and i also discussed emergent

commitment to ensuring iran never changed a nuclear weapon. this is a vital security interest about israel in the united states and i would add for the rest of the world as well. i continue to believe that diplomacy is the best way to achieve this outcome and will continue to work or digital to can or other threats from iran throughout the region. including support for terrorism, ballistic missile program, and continues and uplift, ration of weapons to terrorists and proxies. like cas blah, we'll also continue building an abraham records, which i strongly support because they deepen, they deepen israel's integration into the broader region and establish lasting ties for business, cooperation and tourism. we've just completed the 1st leader summit among israel, india, and united states and united arab emirates to deepen the economic ties between the

middle east and the end of pacific to create new partnerships to tackle global challenges. like food insecurity and clean energy technology. regional integration, as also the goal of a story going to give forum, which took place here in israel this past march. israel's integration and the region, israel's piece with his neighbors. these are essential goal. tomorrow i'll be the 1st american president to fly from israel, directly to jetta. saudi arabian, i represents important progress. i see the saudi leadership tomorrow. i'll be carrying a direct message. message of peace and extraordinary opportunities in a more stable in a greater region could bring to the region. and quite frankly, the whole world. as we work together toward great integration, greater integration also to can into work for toward a lasting, negotiate

a piece between the state of israel and the palestinian people. israel must remain an independent democratic jewish state, the ultimate guarantee and guarantor of security of the jewish people. not only israel, but the entire world. i believe that to my court in the best way to achieve that remains a 2 state solution for 2 people. both of one deep and ancient roots in this land. the means side by side in peace and security. most aides fully respected equal rights of their citizens. both people enjoy equal measures of freedom. in any more, it takes us further from that outcome. i believe anything is detrimental to the long term security visitor. premise for p isn't, and i states our natural partners. because we share the same values. our people

share the same innovative spirit, the same determination to preserve and persevere through every single challenge. that's why we're launching a new high level strategic dialogue on technology that's going to help israel and united states harness critical and emerging technologies and apply them to issues that matter most to our mutual futures. so thank you mister president for welcoming me back for fostering and during bonds and continued, and the length of people of isn't on the united states. that's what this says is about. a firm he knows ties, stretched back to just 11 minutes, 11 minutes after is of declared statehood when united states became the 1st country in the world to recognize israel. and i assure you will be the last country neural ever to walk away from israel ties and going deeper and broader with each passing

year. and now in compass of 21st century partnership, one grounded on ages values and looking squarely at the future. we're here to stay mister president. mister prime minister who, why good or not we're with you. oh, no way out. i want to thank you very, very much for your hospitality. and i mean from the bottom, my heart that your security security isn't going to determine the security of jewish people around the world for the rest of the world. it's critical and where we're at, we're thank you. thank you very much, mr. president. and before we move on to the big question, there is a technical change on the stage

are you watching are does it we're bringing you live coverage or all the press conference that's being held up between the u. s. president joe biden. they're speaking alongside israel's interim primacy yet la paid to have been outlining discussions that they've been having over the last few hours after having signed a non binding declaration. wish to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. questions are now being put from the media. let's listen is rarely tell us thank you and mister president, i want to ask, will you set a deadline for the nuclear talks already fine a certain stage when you will say there is no more opportunity to revive the nuclear deal and what will happen afterwards. and another question, sir, your visit tomorrow is jerusalem and you won't be accompanied by in these early official. does this represent a change in your administration's view regarding the recognition after as alone as the capitol of israel. and it is jerusalem is part of it. thank you. as you,

as crushes, know with regard to your 1st question we've laid out for the people for the leadership of iran, what we're willing to accept. now to get back in the g p o way. we're waiting for the response. when never occur, when that will come, i'm not certain, but we are not going to wait forever. president, no this to the question was for the president and he's a friend and i didn't want to call them the next question. oh sure. i was you, can you give a list here? steve, holland, reuters. thank you. that there is some opposition. back home to your meeting with saudi leaders this week. what will you say to saudi leaders specifically to crown prince mohammed ben solomon about the cas shogi murder and other human rights

practices? and if i may a prime minister repeat, how close are you to an agreement with saudi arabia to gain overflights rights and should we expect that soon? thank you. with regard to the question you asked me for my views on can show you may been absolutely, positively clear. ah, and i have never been quiet about talking about human rights. the question that i am, the reason i'm going to saudi arabia though, is much broader, is to promote us interest promot us interest in a way that i think we have an opportunity to reassert what i think we made. a mistake of walking away from our influence in the middle east on committee

with 9 other heads of state. it's not just as happens to be in saudi arabia. and so there are so many issues at stake that i want to make clear that we can continue to lead in the region and not create a vacuum of vacuum that is filled by china and, or russia against the interest of both israel and the united states. and many other countries and so the purpose of the visit is to is to coordinate with 9 heads of state what are in us interest. and i believe in as interest as well. oh. ready let's the progress very i will bring on. i always bring up human rights. i always bring up your rights. but my position on kashodi has been so clear. if anyone doesn't understand it, in saudi rebrand or else than they haven't been around for awhile. about the

overflights, so saudi arabia, of course, as i was saying in my speech, we are old for promoting. no one is issues with every country in the region that is possible. but since the present is going to saudi arabia avenue, those will be a finalization of the issues over there. i will let the president finalize this when he's in j. thank the prime minister, i'm optimistic. and the next question will come from mr. snyder from times of his will. hi, hello. thank you for being in jerusalem. it's good to see you. i'm israel is have been waiting to hear developments on the visa waiver program. we know that there are hardest to get there. but can you said the deadline after which is really will be granted with a waiver to enter the u. s. will you bring this issue with their opposition leader in it and yet when you're meeting today. and another question for our prime minister, there is

a discussion about regional defense cooperation that includes israel and the saudi . but we hear that there are technical difficulties as well as other reservations from the so it is with respect to defense system, which means it's mostly about the israel sharing. it's intelligence. it's in tell how do you see the cooperation moving along with those problems? thank you. with your dear crushing to me or we are working very, very hard to eliminate it like a precision in the applications many times are for the visa program. it is my hope and expectation that in the next several months we will have it worked out and jumping on the subject. we urge these really opposition to become to be more responsible and help with their legislation needed to finalize this or for

a question. it is no secret that we're doing our best always our american friends to work on origin, a security architecture. so this was no secret. the details of this apparently are so i'm not gonna go into details on this, but we are working with everybody we can in order to promote our regional security, especially facing ah, iran's regime in the terror policy. they bring to the table. oh, the next person to us us a question i guess is own. ah no, you thank you, mr. president. neville, busy of a lot of the television allow me to pass you a little bit on iran. if i me, i, even though or not, i did i you are,

you are visit in the middle east here in israel, and then you going to saudi arabia where you meeting with king solomon and other gcc leaders, you know, in advance before you come here, their position their concern, their fear about iran, nuclear program and iran support for proxies in the region. tangibly, what are you offering them to assuage their fear and concern? practically, it's anything that you're offering them to make them feel comfortable that they're not. the thieves are on the same page with them and if i may, mister prime minister, what are the differences and the similarities between you and prison? and by then regard in iran. do you see i to, i own or the issues on the you alluded to some differences just now and if i may, i wanted you to confirm to us today your position in support in the 2 state solution as a caretaker prime minister. and if should you be elected as the next prime minister

of israel? thank you so much. would you lord moran and convince you the saudis and others that were mean always say, is we mean what we say to have an opportunity to ship? this agreement has been laid down and said, no, not absolutely clear. we will not. we say it again. we will not allow ran to acquire nuclear weapon. well, with regards to the question, while they are on our, we have an open discussion about what is the best way to deal with it. but i don't think there's a light between us in terms of these old means to an end. we cannot allow iran to become nuclear, as israel serves the right to act freely on the subject. but we of course,

are discussing everything with our greatest ally, which is united states, about the 2 state solution. i haven't changed my position. a 2 state solution is a guarantee for a strong democratic status. please rel, oh is a jewish majority very much. this concludes the signing ceremony and a press conference. please remain seated until the leaders of left the room. thank you so much and you're watching are the 0. we're bringing your live coverage of a press conference been held by between the u. s. president joe biden and interim prime minister of israel yard le pete. they have just been assigning a non binding declaration, preventing iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. both men talking there that some length about the relations that fe, the countries have, but also what they have been hoping for with regards to the conversations that we've been having this.
