Foreign Pool Report - PM Netanyahu's Remarks The President's and Prime Minister Netanyahu's comments were available on cable TV networks and on whitehouse.gov Some general highlights of Benyamin Netanyahu's speech... "This is an extraordinary voyage. President Trump, Donald, I'm honored to be here today. With the Ambassadors of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Oman, what a pleasure to see you here! And what a sign... I was going to say for the future... what a sign for the present! Mr. President, I believe that down the decades and perhaps down the centuries, we will remember January 28, 2020, because on this day, you became the first world leader to recognize Israel's sovereignty over areas in Judea and Samaria that are vital to our security and central to our heritage. On this day, you chartered a brilliant future for Israelis, Palestinians and the region by presenting a realistic path to durable peace. You, Mr. President, you recognize that Israel must have sovereignty over the Jordan valley and the other strategic areas of Judea and Samaria. For the long, the very heart of the land of Israel where our patriots prayed, our prophets preached and our kings ruled has been outrageously branded as ‘illegally occupied territory'. Well today, Mr. President, you are puncturing this big lie. You recognize Israel sovereignty over all the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, large and small alike. Thanks to you, Mr. President, these areas and so many others... will now be recognize by the United States as a permanent part of the Jewish state. Because of this historic recognition and because your peace plan strikes the right balance where others plans had failed, I've agreed to negotiate peace with the Palestinians on the basis of your peace plan. It's a great plan for Israel, it's a great plan for peace. You have been the greatest friend that Israel has ever had in the White House. >From our very first meeting here in the WH, 3 years ago, you repeatedly made clear your commitment to help Israel achieve peace with the Palestinians and peace with the rest of the Arab world. I share that commitment and I I look forward to working with you to achieve a peace that will protect Israel security, provide the Palestinians with dignity and their own national life and improve Israel relations with the Arab world. Your peace plan advances all these goals. First, it addresses the root cause of the conflict by insisting that the Palestinians will finally have to recognize Israel as the Jewish state. Second, it stipulates that Israel will retain security control on the entire area west of the Jordan River, thereby giving Israel a permanent eastern border to defend ourselves across our longest border. Third, your plan calls for Hamas to be disarmed and Gaza to be demilitarized. Fourth, it makes clear that the Palestinian refugee problem must be solved outside the state of Israel. Fifth, it calls for our ancient capital, Jerusalem, to remain united under Israel sovereignty. Sixth, your plan does not uproot anyone from their homes, Israelis and Palestinians alike. 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. If the Palestinians are genuinely prepare to take that path, if they're genuinely prepare 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 will be prepared to negotiate peace right away. I hope that our other Arab neighbours embrace your vision and forge a path of reconciliation with Israel that can create for all of us a brilliant future. Mr. President, your deal of the century is the opportunity of the century and rest assured, Israel will not miss this opportunity." |
