no she had peace with the palestinians on the basis of your peace plan. or as it's a great plan for israel it's a great plan for peace frankly mr president. given all that you've already done for israel i'm not surprised you have been the greatest friend that israel as ever had in the white house. and the as. the as frankly though we've had some great outstanding friends. in these holes

it's not even close. you're a star decisions to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital to recognize israel's sovereignty over the golan heights to reaffirm israel's legal claims in judea and some area to stand up to iran to pull out of that dangerous iran deal to confront confront is not the word to eliminate qassam stolen money. to support and encourage unbelievable cooperation between israel and the united states in the military and strategic and intelligence fields all those bare testament to the friendship and depth of your leadership and commitment to israel from our very 1st meeting here in the white house 3 years ago you repeatedly. made

clear your commitment to help israel achieve peace with the palestinians and peace with the rest of the world mr president i share that commitment and i look forward to working with you to achieve a peace that will protect israel's security provide the palestinians with dignity and their own national life and improve israel's relations with the arab world your peace plan advances all these goals 1st it addresses the root cause of the conflict. the inside and it by insisting that the palestinians will finally have to recognize israel as the jewish state. second it stipulates that israel will retain security control in the entire area west of the jordan river thereby giving israel a permanent eastern border

a permanent eastern border to defend ourselves across all along this border this is something we've long to have we don't have such a recognized boundaries. 3rd your plan calls for hamas to be disarmed and for gaza to be de-militarized. forth it makes clear that the palestinian refugee problem must be solved outside the state of israel. 5th it calls for engine capital jerusalem to remain united under israel's sovereignty. and of course ensures that religious sites remain accessible to all faiths and it maintains the status quo on the temple mount 6 your plan does not approve anyone from their homes israelis and palestinians alike instead it

proposes innovative solutions whereby israelis will be connected to israel and whereby palestinians will also be connected to one another this is that helps if you have these real estate people you know. they can come up with they can come up with things normal human beings don't think about. and i have mr president. israel wants the palestinians to have a better life we want them to have a future of national dignity prosperity and hope your peace plan offers the palestinians such a future your peace plan offers the palestinians a pathway to a future state i know that it may take them a very long time to reach the end of that path it may even take them a very long time to get to the beginning of that path but if the palestinians

are genuinely prepared to take that path if they are genuinely prepared to make peace with the jewish state and if they agree to abide by all the conditions you have put forward in your plan israel will be there israel would be prepared to negotiate peace right away. regardless of the palestinian decision israel will preserve the path of peace in the coming years for at least 4 years israel will maintain the status quo in areas that your plan does not designate as being part of israel in the future at the same time israel apply its laws to the jordan valley to all the jewish communities in judea and samaria and to other areas that your plan designates as part of israel

and which the united states has agreed to recognize as part of his will. i like. this isn't will protect israel's security ensure israel's national interests and leave open the possibility of a political settlement with the palestinians in the coming years. mr president i hope the palestinians embrace your vision of peace and grace the plan that you and your team and us worked so hard to achieve i hope that they seize the opportunity offered by your sweeping economic plan i read it it takes enormous talent to reject $50000000000.00 worth of investment i know what that does to an economy

i know what it will do to palestinian lives i know what it will do to the youth of the region i hope that the palestinians embrace this and build with israel a future of prosperity and peace i also hope that our other arab neighbors embrace your vision and forge a path of kit reconciliation with israel that can create for all of us a brilliant future mr president i want to congratulate your fantastic team there's no other word you're fantastic piste for all the work jason greenblatt . to. thank you jason for the terrific job you did as america's peace envoy for nearly 3 years of the berkowitz thank you for stepping up. thank you abbi for stepping out from your important behind the role seen behind the

i know how much the jewish future means to you and to your family well jarred today you have helped secure the future the jews state owes you and it shows president trump enter turn all debt of gratitude. ah. mr president on that historic day of day 14th 1908 both david ben-gurion and president truman's had a fateful decision to make many argued that been going should

not declare israel's independence many argued that president truman should not recognize the jewish state but both leaders understood the magnitude of the our. they seize the moment and they change history like you mr president i understand the magnitude of this moment with you mr president i'm prepared to seize the moment and change history. i know that there will be opposition there's always opposition i know there will be many obstacles along the way much criticism but we have an old jewish saying if not now when and if not us who in law. in law not known as me

mr president your deal of the century is the opportunity of the century and rest assured israel will not miss this opportunity mr president donald israel is blessed to have your friendship and your powerful leadership and israel is blessed to have the friendship of the greatest power on earth the united states of america neg od bless america may god bless israel and may god bless us all with security prosperity and peace thank you and the as far as . israel's prime minister benjamin there

speaking following an announcement by the united states president donald trump unveiling his administration's peace plan for the middle east trump giving details of the plan alongside israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he calls for a 2 state solution including a palestinian state with its capital in east jerusalem but it was rejected by palestinian leaders before its official release they view trumps the trumpet ministration as biased toward israel and say that the u.s. can no longer be viewed as a honest broker in the region. cross over now to our washington bureau alexander phenomenon is standing by has been following the speech for us donald trump we just heard that they're calling for

a 2 state solution in the middle east how does he want this to happen. well he 1st of all praised himself as a great deal maker saying that she was not elected to do small thing but it's not to show shy away from big problems and she talked about cheese peace plan reassuring the palestinians to the you as supporting the 2 state solution however we have to say that we didn't see a lot of incentives for the palestinians to support this peace plan on the contrary just the way the president was standing there to governor with the israeli prime minister and the palestinians war were not a part of this process this is already a very telling then again presidents trumpery assured israel that jerusalem will

stay the undivided capital of the state of israel saying that the palestinians can have east jerusalem as a capital however he didn't offer any specifics though once again we have to remind ourselves that last year the trump administration proposed to the konami portion of its peace plan proposing $50000000000.00 worth of investment and. in palestine and in the neighboring arab countries and that seems to be. the most important thing that. he hopes that the that will bring palestinians back to the negotiating table alexander this was indeed as you mentioned their light on specifics but we did get some cues in clues rather in fact as to what the potential map could be here specifically

benjamin netanyahu saying that the united states will recognize sovereignty in areas vital to securing. and he included the jordan valley in fact in that reference something which is sure to be controversial given this what does trump hope to get from this deal. well i think that president donald trump was not only addressing israel and the palestinians touring this these statements but of course he was also addressing his space here in the united states christian of and jelly because who support the state of israel and of course also influential members of jewish communities in the u.s. that president trump is hoping to win over from the democrats we have to keep in mind that we will have a presidential election here in the u.s. in november and of course president would like to be we.
