0:00.0	The views expressed on this podcast are those of the participants, not of Rojers' News.
0:08.4	Israel has a value set like the United States does and other democracies,
0:14.3	and they're looking to see what we're going to do.
0:18.2	So, Mr. Prime Minister, I'm very happy to be back in Israel with you.
0:23.6	That was U.S. President Joe Biden speaking this week in Israel following an attack on the Middle
