Oh, my!

Oh! Thank you, Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister.

You are talking tonight about the United States taking over a sovereign territory.

What authority would allow you to do that?

Are you talking about a permanent occupation there?

Redevelopment?

And, Mr. Prime Minister, do you see this idea as a way to expand the boundaries of Israel

and to have a longer peace, even though the Israeli people know how important that land is to you and your

citizens, just as the space is inherited by the Palestinians as well?

I do see a long-term ownership position. the space is inherited by the Palestinians as well.

I do see a long-term ownership position,

and I see it bringing great stability to that part of the Middle East and maybe the entire Middle East.

And everybody I've spoken to, this was not a decision made lightly.

Everybody I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States

owning that piece of land developing and creating thousands of jobs

with something that will be magnificent in a really magnificent area

that nobody would know.

Nobody can look because all they see is death and destruction and rubble

and demolished buildings falling all over. It's just a terrible

terrible side. I've studied it. I've studied this very closely over a lot of months,

and I've seen it from every different angle, and it's a very, very dangerous place to be,

and it's only going to get worse.
