all. we begin with president trump in israel today following a major speech in saudi arabia. >> yeah, the president departed the capital of riyadh for tel aviv meeting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu today and likely addressed middle east peace. >> in saudi arabia the president rallied the leaders of nearly every muslim country. he did soften his tone on islam while calling for unity in the war on terror. >> live team coverage this morning on the president's trip, molly hunter standing by in london for us but we're going to start with abc's elizabeth hur in washington. good morning, elizabeth. >> reporter: kendis and diane, good morning. today israeli officials say they are ready to welcome president trump and eager to talk about ways to promote peace and, meanwhile, over the weekend the president was also well received in saudi arabia, but critics say that's because of what was left out of his major speech. president trump's first foreign trip since taking office forging ahead with a packed agenda in israel. >> mr. president, mr. prime

minister, i look forward to working closely with both of you during my stay. we love israel. we respect israel. >> reporter: first, meeting with the israeli president this morning. then visiting the western wall before ending the day with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> mr. president, we look forward to your visit. the citizens of israel will receive you with open arms. >> reporter: the warm welcome coming on the heels of a whirlwind weekend in saudi arabia for president trump. >> a better future is only possible if your nations drive out the terrorists and drive out the extremists. >> reporter: wrapping up his two-day visit there with a speech that included a message of unity and a challenge for the muslim nations to take the lead in the fight against terrorism. >> drive them out of your communities. drive them out of your holy land and drive them out of this earth. >> reporter: but his message as

president notably missing a key phrase he deemed crucial as a candidate during his campaign. >> radical islamic terrorism. >> reporter: president trump also never once mentioned human rights in his speech, which according to aides, were addressed behind the scenes. the goal of the white house was to set legions with the white house because they say president obama was disengaged. kendis and diane. >> all right, that's elizabeth hur live for us from washington. elizabeth, thanks. and the president's stop in israel comes under tight security as he plans to visit both israeli and palestinian territories. >> abc's molly hunter is live for us in london. and, molly, you were based in jerusalem for us for much of the last three years. the president has a busy agenda there. those goals that elizabeth talked about, and what are the challenges ahead? >> reporter: there are a lot of challenges, kendis, but goal number one is kick-starting that peace process, getting prime

minister netanyahu and president abbas back at the table. now, how he'll do that with what bargaining chips, we don't know. he's spoken in broad, sweeping statements. huge platitudes about what he wants to do, he wants this ultimate deal, but he's going to have to start drilling down into those details if he really wants those two leaders back at the table. >> and, molly, why is this flight, the direct flight from saudi arabia to israel so historic? >> reporter: we think it's the first time a u.s. president has done this. now, diane, you can't fly this route commercially, in fact, there are a lot of routes in the middle east that you can't buy a ticket for, and if you look at the flight path, there are all sorts of middle east airlines that avoid certain countries and particularly countries, of course, that don't have diplomatic relationships with israel, saudi included, so this is a nod to the growing connection between saudi -- the other gulf states and israel, but symbolism aside, diane, we'll have to wait to see if this really marks a new era of relations between those two. >> even the press plane has to stop in cyprus beforehand before it goes to tel aviv. molly, thank you. and as former fbi director
