prior to abu dhabi, the u.s. had preclearance locations in places like ireland, the bahamas and canada. we had an obligation to get this right, and c.b.p. did not. despite security focused rationale, this was conducted without suitable congressional notification or a thorough explanation for the rationale of preclearance facilities in abu dhabi. we know that a significant number of watch list originate from the region, but that does not excuse the lack of notification or more importantly not taking into account how such agreements affect american workers and their employers. the establishment of a preclearance facility in abu dhabi where no domestic carrier currently flies -- let me repeat that -- no domestic carrier currently flies puts u.s. carriers at a competitive and significant disadvantage. as customs wait times are generally shorter at preclearance facilities compared to wait times in the united states. this facility provides a clear facilitation benefit to foreign airlines at the expense of u.s. carriers

abu dhabi comes to mind immediately. are the saudis keeping an eye on this, or is this insignificant? >> guest: young saudis, the conservative people, say we don't want to end up like qatar and dubai or abu dhabi. some other saudis say look at what they can do. why did they get so much more than we do? those countries fundamentally are, they're not countries, they're barely city-states, you know? so a country hike dubai probably -- like dubai probably has 300,000 citizens, and the rest are foreigners. saudi has 18 million, roughly 18 million saudi citizens. so despite the fact that they have a lot more money spread over 18 million people, they can't provide the lifestyle to which people in the gulf are accustomed. and, you know, that gets, that gets noticed by saudis who look and say why can't we live as well as they do? and then for the more conservative ones, they say we don't want all of those polluting influences in our country that they're allowing in theirs; western universities, alcohol, movie theaters, things lik

so it was like abu dhabi cutting its nose off its face. this is something you don't want to see happening. you don't want a situation where the government is essentially saying that we are not -- we are going to do this and get rid of this guy, but we are not going to put a plan in place to calm investors. >> right. so we have to wait and see what they say on thursday and get a sense of how much they will buy potentially. hadley, great to have you on. >>> denials of hamas capturing an israeli soldier after two weeks of fighting on sunday. 100 palestinians were killed yesterday alone with the death toll topping 500. the u.s. state department confirms john kerry will travel to cairo for meetings with egyptian and other senior officials as they look to broker a cease-fire. speaking on minneapolis'snbc's press" he says this -- >> there can't be a set of pre-demands to be met. so we support the egyptian initiative joined in by israel and others to have an immediate cease-fire and we're working that cease-fire very, very hard. >> nbc news foreig
