and you may recall in the weeks after the accords were concluded, we established an abraham fund. accord member countries and those made by the united states from the development finance corporation, the export—import bank, designed specifically to aid palestinian infrastructure projects. an example of that is improving the personnel checkpoints between the territories so that workers could move freely across the border. and my hope is i think everyone's hope is that that will commence regardless of the present difficulties that that ultimately that promise and that potential is still there. up until recently, israel allowed around 18,000 people to cross from gaza into israel every day to work. that brought around $2 million a day into gaza. just explain how important a source of cash that's been to the economy there. well, i think it obviously wasn't important enough for them to protect it because what happened and what transpired, the horrific attack by terrorists and hamas sponsored by their corporate ownership back in tehran ultimately put that not only in jeopardy, but may pr

maria: yet you know, there is conversation about the abraham accords, in terms of not mentioning the abraham accords in the white house the president came into office, president biden, and tried o to undo much of what you and your team did with regard to the abraham accords obviously secretary of state then pompeo, led that effort, what are your thoughts in terms of that resuming gaining there are worries now that we will see simultaneous attacks on israeli targets in syria lebanon iraq, are we are at the beginning of a long drawn-out new conflict in the middle east? >> well that is certainly seems to be iranians intent when biden people first came into office apparently there was a memo in the state department saying don't use the word "abraham accords" we will call this normalization deals anyone deal with middle east knows normalization is sort of a dirty word in the region trying to make them sox sort of bad or suspect even they realized it was very for everybody involved so did start using the term abraham accords looking at saudi deal unfortunate noxious policies towards israel

he mentioned abraham accords 902 the audience questions. i think they hold promise for the future, how to be a grain momentum of abraham accords and build an explanation from the security perspective, how to rebuild security architecture? >> i think we start by not accepting the premise of the terrorists, which is at peace instead project that have handled the conversation going through the united states congress and congress continues to support these strongly. i have been thinking back to the summer of 2017 when we were first in the white house and terrible troubles and president trump actually intended to go through with it. as violence flared and things seemed to break down, it seemed impossible but what came out about was the recognition, increasingly over from no longer giving the palestinians veto over national security, they could not condone any longer violence, particularly against civilians which was not consistent with what they practice so in this case being very clear about the nature of what the palestinians have done, do you

maria: do you believe that the saudi leadership would like to join the abraham accords?e they would like to move forward with the deal with america and with israel, the deal that's being discussed is not just a partnership with israel is also deepening their ties with america which is very important we have to keep in mind if america is not close to saudi arabia logo in the other direction to china and i think the topics being discussed not familiar with the last details but a really good deal for america an important deal to bring stability in the middle on that wants to see happen the leases iran they have been in favor of destruction in destabilization before president trump came into office the jcpoa which was one of the worst deals ever done in history by the obama administration was flushing iran with cash. because of that a lot of the money went to the proxies in the moss, has below, the who these and we saw a lot of destruction over four years president trump was able to roll back the money and that really enabled us to create an environment where we can push for

so we have seen this administration not fully embrace the abraham accord. they rather would have let them fester a little more so than to really fully engage and embrace them. so in the former administration we saw the abraham accord to come to fruition with a great promise to all of these arab nations that they would all be tied together and in happy collaboration. that hasn't come to fruition. he was sorely disappointed and he let me know that and he said because of the void of it's now been c created by the united states ofat america, they do tun to others out there to fill that void. if we can think of who out there is filling the void where the united states is not engaging. it's china. so, they are turning now to the east and engaging more with china than the united states of america. andth i think because we haven't engaged like we should have with a number of these key very important arab nations, they don't feel as compelled to stand behind israel and that's where the failure of leadership is really showing on the world stage right now. we need to

obviously the abraham accords was a significant move.o help the palestinians and their plates if they are not willing to participate themselves. this attack has two major factions of the palestinians said they are not ready. they are willing for this unprovoked attack rather than come to the peace table. jon: if israel were to go back into gaza and occupy it once again as they did up until about 18 years ago do you think there would be any pushback on the u.s. congress? >> i don't think so. let me rephrase that. there's always a little pushback we have discovered there's always six or eight people and anything they'll be on the other side but it is very clear israel has to do something in the way of gaza. they thought they were doing some they weren't doing enough. there's isis effectors on the other side for years. resident has been doing a great deal. there is now going to have to be greater efforts on that side of the border two. the real disappointing thing here is president biden has put a lot of his energy into believing engagement

to accept israel's right to exist, putting it at odds with arab countries who have joined the abraham accords and the palestinian authority for that fact on the west bank, hamas has revealed its true colors. for the sake of israel, for the sake of the palestinian people, hamas must be eradicated from the face of the earth. on october 7, it launched a brutal first salvo, an operation that clearly in my mind has iran's fingerprints on it because of the capabilities hamas alone does not have. intelligence and technological factors. only a state actor would have that. and the only state actor willing to assist hamas with that is iran. now, perhaps hamas launched its attack in the belief that others would join a multi-front war to eliminate israel. perhaps it saw the writing on the wall with the recent abraham accords and talks of israeli-saudi normalization or perhaps it sought to turn sentiment to a tries the bottom boosting its own image. but regardless of why hamas carried out its attack, today in this chamber, let us expose hamas for what it is. let us reject the trap that they have tried to

perhaps sell the writing on the wall with the recent abraham accords and talks of normalization. or perhaps a sop to turn public sentiment against israel with the race to the bottom boosting its own image among the rose gallery of anti- israel regimes. but regardless of why hamas carried out its attack, and today inthis chamber let us exps for what it u is. let us reject the trap they had tried to set them to stand with our ally, israel, and the wake of a board attacks let's recommit to principles we share the israel as we support her in her hour of need. let us call out holocaust deniers who deny israel's legitimacy. let us promote the honest truth about israel's contributions and call it anti-semitism wherever it is found. but it's also root out the poisonous ideology of islamic phobia that recently claim of te 6-year-old palestinian american boy. and above all let us do the work we were elected to do passing a bipartisan funding package to replenish the iron dome. something that in the past i have led on. nswiftly confirming a nominee o be our ambassador to israel. this is not

. >> bill: adam, you were negotiating the abraham accords and did you get a sense the middle east was ready for a revolution for the better as opposed to what we're watching now and when you're negotiating this, did you get the sense that iran felt it was on the outside of these negotiations and therefore it may take action in the region as we have watched now? >> absolutely. the abraham accords were about a number of moderate countries, israel, arab moderate countries coming together against terror, against iran. this goes right against what iran has been planning and this is a proxy war and it's iran behind hamas and behind islamic jihad and hezbollah and it's not only against israel. it's against saudi, against uae, it's against morocco and so those countries are being targeted too and they've been more moderate. this is terrorism versus moderating. >> dana: adam, i was thinking this morning when we knew we were going to have you on, as awful as this is, without the abraham accords, this might be worse and there's reports that the administration is very concerned about this war exp

the abraham accords now where there is a lot of talk about bringing in saudi arabia which is tabled. that is an opportunity as well to not take the palestinian show off of the table because there is no part of the abraham accords that it was possible to have arabic countries in the region come to agreement with israel because of the iran threat. and we are also addressing the palestinian question. and what the recent issues have been has given further opportunity or when we get back to discussions of bringing saudi arabia into the abraham accords arrangement which is a priority in the biden administration and getting to a more realistic path forward for palestinians. host: massachusetts. john on the line for independents. caller: thank you for taking my call. hello? host: what is your question or comment? caller: i have a comment and then question. the same families that funded napoleon, the same families that funded all of the wars through the wall street banks, the rockefellers, j.p. morgan and all of the families are the same ones that had family that came here from england. which

what is the risk to iran of saudi arabia for signing the abraham accord ? abraham accord? well, because then what happens is the bugbear israel , happens is the bugbear israel, which historically , ali, saudi which historically, ali, saudi has been a big funder for of the palestinian cause of hamas. and so on. that would then be removed. that then gives their big enemy, which is israel , big enemy, which is israel, which i've still never understood, because is the iranian border, of course, it's nowhere near there. that that, you know, they then create an imbalance of regional power. so imbalance of regional power. s0 saudi imbalance of regional power. so saudiand imbalance of regional power. s0 saudi and iran regionally have always sort of vied for who's the most powerful . and this the most powerful. and this would enable them because they would enable them because they would then get more support from the west, particularly from the us military support and so on, to effectively be the superpower, regional superpower i >> and that's iran's big fear because iran has been

three years ago the abraham accords brought peace to israel and some of her arab neighbours, startingas has brought renewed threats to stability in the middle east, one of the key architects behind them has told the bbc they also offer hope for the future. robert greenway was a senior middle east advisor to president trump. and my colleague, tadhg enright, asked him to explain the role of business and trade in the accords' success. agreements were recognised as historic, the first peace agreement between israel and its neighbours in a generation. in terms of business we've seen probably the most progress. in some ways you expected in other ways it's been surprising and encouraging. for example 2019 overall value of trade between israel and the quad member countries after concluding agreements with about $500 million and in 2022 it climbed to $3.7 billion. this year despite ongoing events we expected to arise which is a significant volume. there is also been a tremendous amount of movement of individuals between countries that previously really had minimal and in some cases no transit

when we did the "abraham accords," when people found out about israel's normalization with the u.a.e., the day they found out about it the day president trump announced it on television. until that day there weren't 10 people in the world that knew what was happening. what is happening here? they're advertising it. they're talking about it and if it is a done deal. they're including the palestinians at the table, let them know what is going on. so the palestinians are not getting what they want. they feel aggrieved. they want toe want to show they're relevant and want to attack and iran is only too happy to give them the resources and incentives to do that in order to kill any chance of saudi israel normalization. this was a botched process that didn't have to end this way. it could have been done secretly and discretely the way we did the "abraham accords" and those continue to survive and prosper. larry: ambassador david friedman, stay on the saudi topic for just a moment. what role will the saudis play? they haven't said much about the invasion so far. they haven't said there is go

he backed away from the abraham accords can. our allies in the middle east, went after saudi arabia. then he ea ea appeased iran which only infuriated people more. then he pulled out of afghanistan after giving putin, lifting the sanctions off nord stream 2. he was they haveville chamberlain of that moment, and if -- neville chamberlain of that moment, he pushed our allies closer to china helping to develop this new axis of evil and showing appeasement around the world, and this is what we get today? larry: kevin, you're talking a lot of sense. kevin, let me just ask you, in the republican conference meetings if you're nominated to run for speaker again, you accept it? >> look, i've asked those that want to nominate me not to nominate me. let these two running see if they can unite the -- larry: is it a stalemate, kevin? do do you have any intention of supporting anybody? >> i'm going to support somebody. they're going to try to put this together. the one thing we have to learn in the country as well, if we still have 8 people t

could have been done secretly and discretely the way we did the "abraham accords." those continue to survive and prosper. larry: ambassador david friedman, stay on the saudi topic for just a moment. what role will the saudis play? they haven't said much about the invasion so far. they haven't said there is going to be any kind of oil embargo like there was back in 1973 and 1974 when they were basically at war with the u.s. what is your expectation? will the saudis be neutral in the battle, side with iran and hamas or try at least under the table to stay friendly with israel? >> look i think the saudis understand the mentality of hamas. it's the same muslim brotherhood, radical islamic factions that threaten saudi, threaten u.a.e., threaten bahrain, threaten morocco. it is the same enmy. i don't think they will embrace hamas or boycott the west and increase prices. the street they may say things unfavorable or unhelpful but at the end of the day the saudis i want to move toward modernaty. these are not their friends, anymore than friends of israel. larry: ambassador

trump was surrounding iran with all these abraham accord peace deals. the entire political dynamic of region was changed. during trump's tenure there was no massive hamas invasion of israel. why can't the bidens learn these lessons. there is a difference between strength and weakness. and that is my riff. enough said. joining me now, my great friend and colleague bret baier, anchor of "special report" tonight. author of rescue the constitution, george washington and the fragile american experiment available everywhere today. got to sell some books. bret baier got me through the predebate 15-person thing with style and content as you always do, brett. welcome to the set as always, sir. you know, you can't help israel without slamming iran and changing the policy. that's my take. what you think? >> yeah i think it's right on. a strong letter to follow, larry. you know i think you nailed it as far as the criticism and you know they are hung up, the biden administration is, on the criticism about the six billion dollars for the hostage, the american hostage

equally clear that-- but go ahead, i apologize. >> but, i mean, there's just no denying that the abraham accords were transformative when it came to the nations and israel. and we were looking at historic peace accords a few years ago and look where we are here. what i'm talking about is appeasement never works and it certainly is not working with iran. it's only em boldening iran. neil: does that apply, congressman, to those who are concerned about the good money after bad thing i raised about ukraine, whether that-- or do you fear that it might extend to israel and even if it's just financial support? >> well, i think that-- no, i think there's a very different view of israel as our key ally in the nation and that's very well understood that that's across the american p populace and our political sphere. and people are rightly asking questions, why we backed ourselves and d ditherred ourselves in. and it's not explained by the president, if you do ent don't rubber stamp a blank check over and over again, there is a lot there, whether it's europe burden sharing, and europe is still buying russi

>> >> by building stronger coalitions across the middle east, we must also expand the abraham accords to promote peace and freedom. three years ago, there was not war in europe. or in israel. but today, there is. the united states must reinstate the maximum pressure campaign against iran. re-freezing the $6 billion is only the start. but under the last administration, iran was only producing 400,000 barrels of oil a day, now it is 3 million. they are making billions of dollars. if you look at the foreign currency reserves, three years ago, iran had 4 billion. today, it is 70 billion. they are wealthier, richer, and stronger, under this a biden administration, and they are using that wealth to fund terrorism, attacking our allies and killing americans. and it must stop today. sanctions should go on iran's production of oil, and we should replace it with american energy. unshackle the blessings that god has given america. what a speedy energy independent -- let us be energy independent. it will also be better for the environment. if we simply replace russian natural gas in europe for on

he was also an adviser to the abraham accords, which of course was struck during the trump administrationrey, great to have your expertise. we were talking to rula earlier in the show. she was saying the arab world is about to basically explode. and it strikes me that there's a real risk here that there could be maybe tens of thousands of palestinian casualties in a ground invasion of gaza. does how israel conducts this war, is that going to be a factor in whether peace is possible after it? >> yes. absolutely. i wrote that article that you mentioned with dennis ross, who was the chief middle east envoy for president obama. and then for adam buller who had a comparable role with donald trump, who worked with jared kushner very closely. we're optimistic that there's a possibility -- it's not immediate because the ground invasion is a -- it's going to be tremendous losses of life that are horrible. the israelis have to control, of course, the collateral damage. this must be strategic in every possible way and very, very careful. but you can't take out hamas without a ground invasion. campfi

the abraham accords were a success.success when it comes to ignoring the festering problem of peace between israel and the palestinians. >> jake, i think there were steps in the right direction, but look, you're right in that donald trump never finishes what he started. he said he was going to build a wall across the entire border across the united states and mexico. he built 52 miles of new wall in four years. he said he was going to balance the budget. he added $7.8 trillion in debt and the same way he said he would bring peace to the middle east he did not do that because he didn't finish the job, as you said and look, if he couldn't do it in the first term with good people around him, imagine what he would do in a second term with the clowns he would have around him in the second trump term because that's the only people that would actually work for him. so we need to keep focused on one thing. donald trump will not be able to beat joe biden from a courtroom in washington, d.c., while he's fighting his indictment on

i think a new administration that goes to appeasement, that did not embrace the abraham accords, that went after our allies like saudi arabia and were awarded those who are people like iran. that right now just gives you challenges paired secondly, the president's decision when it came to afghanistan. people then questioned if america would be there. we watched the culmination of this new axis of power. of people. of china, russia, and iran. we watched the president when he met with putin, that literally lifted the sanctions of nord stream 2 but got nothing in return. we watched the attacks on american energy production. lowering our strategic petroleum preserve is don't do nothing. the price of oil is a pirate. it is almost $100 a barrel. that is when people feet -- when people feels they can move. that is exec with what they did. reporter: [indiscernible] rep. mccarthy: i don't think it is just the iron dome that needs to be replenished. we want to make sure that we kill hamas. destroy hamas. the technology that america has is superior to all. israel is a tremendous guided force, bu

i wanted to what they have to say now about the potential of joining the abraham accords, can we reverse led throughout the middle east, can we reverse the ugliness and go back to the peace time under the trap of initiation before the biden administration reversed all of their policies. we will see. at this point it is questionable as far as whether the saudi's would still remain to join the abraham accord, were talking about that this morning and a sense from the newly elected speaker of the house, mike johnson to see his priority, you know the first resolution that the house did when mike johnson was elected was to did now hamas and support israel will talk about this idea that the president wants all this money tied together with israel and ukraine and what the speaker has to say about that were talking about the homeland we want to bring it back to america, there are risks of a u.s. terrorist situation playing out. how are the governors playing with this governor youngkin defending and working to find out what is doing to offset the crime spike with the unease on the part of citizens

don't say abraham accords, saudis close to joining abraham accords politics just like joe biden a press conference september 11 to say everything fine out of afghanistan, and so because he wanted this press conference to have it on september 11 botched withdrawal out of afghanistan congressman what are you going to do? you are an elected official do you not have speaker of the house how getting anything done including the aid that needs to go to israel? >> you are absolutely right eight who caused chaos in the respect party only entity clearly had no plan that said we have to dust ourselves off move forward what should we do secondary sanctions on qatar bank that has six billion forcing administration, to enforce its own sanctions, on iran. going after the banks in hong kong that are still processing n iranian oil, there is a lot we can be doing we have to get our act together, you are absolutely right to call us out on that maria we are shooting ourselves in the foot in washington d.c.. >> who are you supporting for speaker . >> fellow floridian rep donalds. maria: . >> byron d

that's what the abraham accords was about. in that conversation, it was also talked about concessions made for the palestinians. but when you see this evil hamas terrorist group and organization, they don't believe that israel has the right to exist. and that's why we've got to work with israel to make sure we wipe out hamas so that we don't have a vicious attack like this ever again. >> what concerns do you have about this massive intelligence failure? >> a lot of concerns that i have. first, i'll concerned about the continuing attacks that are taking place in israel right now. there was a friend of mine, a rabbi who is in israel as we speak. and he tells me how his niece is in a shelter now, been in a shelter for over 12 hours, hearing gun battles right outside close to a police station. and we also are seeing some horrendous videos of individuals who have been taken hostage. so i'm more focused right now on trying to save lives, trying to make sure that they get a cease of advancement in israel. then also look at the intell

and this effort to bring them in, to the abraham accord to create peace and recognize israel is pushed forward. i hope it will, it will make perfect sense for everyone in the region to see what it happens. >> sean: hamas terrorists we have evidence and video footage beheading isreali soldiers. we have hamas executing that teenage girl hostage in front of her parents. and then you have people like congresswoman tlibe blasting israel in the wake of this. how do you explain that wing of the democratic party that seems to be getting louder and louder and more dominant every single day? >> it's unexplainable, sean. i have no capacity to comprehend how you could watch what has taken place there and have any idea that the right answer to that is to blame the victims of this tragedy. we see reminisce sense of what happened in the holocaust, women and children being dragged off to their death and for a congressman not to call that out, no, that's the problem and say that those victims are to blame for what's happened is fundamentally indecent, i home the good people that she represents vote her

but looking beyond that, and you mentioned the abraham accords and normalization. one of hamas' objectives was to derail the normalization discussions that are taking place in the middle east with the most visible being between the united states, israel, and saudi arabia. so tell me a little bit about your view as to how you keep these normalization discussions alive during a time of war. going to be a challenge until this war ends for people here or there to focus on the day after , but i deepbly believe have do secretary lew: it is going to be a challenge until this ends for us to focus on the day after. but i believe it's important that those who have concern in this area, as i will if confirmed, to keep an eye on objectives. you look at the negotiations between israel and saudi arabia, if it was in their interest two weeks ago, it's in the interest when this war ends. i have had extensive dealings with many of the governments in the region. i would pledge my utmost support for making that conversation one that can get back on track. it was a mission that i thou
