Here's John Bachelor.

Malcolm Hone Line Conference of Presidents, Major American Jewish Organizations,

and we're thrilled to welcome our longtime colleague,

Major General Jocoffa Amadr, the Comunder Center for Defense Strategy Distinguished Fellow.

He also was the former National Security Advisor to the Prime Minister of Israel, as well

it should not be done just because we have this pressure.

We have to be very much,
