[7:47] Speaker 2: To its existence. Israel has been forced to fight, but
[7:52] Speaker 2: it's always stretched its hands out. And and years ago
[7:58] Speaker 2: you with the minatao, you initiated the Abraham Accords. I
[8:08] Speaker 2: was privileged to then serve in that esset, and as
[8:12] Speaker 2: days have passed, it has taken on very special meaning,
[8:16] Speaker 2: a personal meaning as well, because I was the speaker
[8:20] Speaker 2: of the first House that was formally invited by an
[8:24] Speaker 2: Arab country, and we were invited, and where my parents
[8:29] Speaker 2: who were born there in fact in Morocco. Special privilege you.
[8:37] Speaker 1: Brought in.
[8:39] Speaker 2: Coordinated all four of those countries, and you said peace
[8:45] Speaker 2: for the sake of peace. You brought that together and
[8:51] Speaker 2: brought that about long before your first term of office,
[8:57] Speaker 2: already in twenty eleven, to fide the danger embedded in
[9:03] Speaker 2: a nuclear Irans and you said in English, a threat to.
[9:09] Speaker 3: Our nation's national security interests. We can't allow Iran to
[9:14] Speaker 3: go nuclear.
[9:18] Speaker 2: Threat on the United States. It means on the entire
[9:22] Speaker 2: free world. Your consistent stand that put America first, but
[9:29] Speaker 2: not alone, you brought with you to the White House
[9:35] Speaker 2: in both of these terms of office. Four months ago,
[9:39] Speaker 2: after the Prime Minister Natagnal opened the Rising Lion campaign,
[9:45] Speaker 2: you said you will open up the Midnight Hammer. It
[9:49] Speaker 2: was a very brave campaign, but it where was nothing
[9:53] Speaker 2: like that until you came. And thus the President, you
[10:05] Speaker 2: prevented a nuclear holocaust that Iran wanted to bring on
[10:10] Speaker 2: us and the world. There people have been shouting death
[10:17] Speaker 2: to America and death to Israel. But today we can
[10:20] Speaker 2: say open heartedly to the iotullas in Ivan, they will
[10:25] Speaker 2: not have nuclear weapons. Thank you, President Trump for that.
[10:44] Speaker 1: Your excellence.
[10:47] Speaker 2: Today we are celebrating the end of the Feast of
[10:50] Speaker 2: the Tabernacles, and we will celebrate simhat tomorrow. Two years
[10:57] Speaker 2: ago it was the hardest day that Israel since the
[11:01] Speaker 2: dawn of its existence, has ever suffered, and the Jewish
[11:04] Speaker 2: people since the Holocaust. Many times I came to the
[11:08] Speaker 2: place of the Sauter and the massacre with foreigners from abroad,
[11:13] Speaker 2: and we watched what had happened, all the atrocities. And
[11:17] Speaker 2: just a few days after that, I accompanied Gered and
[11:21] Speaker 2: Ivonka to those harsh areas, horrific areas, and we witnessed
[11:28] Speaker 2: what had happened call Aza and Rahem, and what we
[11:31] Speaker 2: saw something that we had hoped that would never ever
[11:36] Speaker 2: be reiterated. Since the dawn of humankind. We're talking about massacres, rapes,
[11:43] Speaker 2: and murders. The devil not only murdered, raped, burned, and
[11:49] Speaker 2: murdered many of our brothers and sisters. But they also
[11:52] Speaker 2: took them hostages, alive and dead. Since said, the people
[11:57] Speaker 2: of Israel have been fighting the longest but justified war
[12:02] Speaker 2: ever since its existence. For the release, because that scar
[12:09] Speaker 2: has been bleeding, that wound has been bleeding, and they
[12:13] Speaker 2: everyone has been suffering and crying with them. They were
[12:18] Speaker 2: hanging between such despair and hope for two whole years.
[12:24] Speaker 2: Today where everyone, all these honorable guests are sitting above us,
[12:31] Speaker 2: were all the pictures were hanging of the hostages. This
[12:35] Speaker 2: morning we were able to take down the pictures because
[12:40] Speaker 2: they have been released and returned. It was spontaneous, and
[12:45] Speaker 2: I received this pin. I received it from a ten More,
[12:50] Speaker 2: one of these hostages. But I am honored to remove
[12:53] Speaker 2: it because a ten More is already in the hands
[12:57] Speaker 2: of his parents. They are embracing him, and thank you,
[13:00] Speaker 2: President Trump, I can take a pin of now.
[13:19] Speaker 3: Mister President, you stand before the people of Israel, not
[13:24] Speaker 3: as another American president, but as a giant of Jewish history,
[13:30] Speaker 3: one for whom we must look back two and a
[13:33] Speaker 3: half millennia into the mists of time to find a
[13:38] Speaker 3: parallel cyrus. The Great You, President Donald J. Trump, are
[13:45] Speaker 3: a colossus who will be enshrined in the panton of
[13:49] Speaker 3: history thousands of years from now, Mister President, the Jewish
[13:53] Speaker 3: people will remember you.
[13:56] Speaker 1: We are a nation that remembers.
[14:00] Speaker 3: Far from being a local struggle, what we are witnessing
[14:05] Speaker 3: is a global struggle, a global battle between the forces
[14:09] Speaker 3: of extremism, radicalism and fundamentalism and those of freedom, liberty,
[14:16] Speaker 3: and democracy.
[14:18] Speaker 1: What the world needs now is not.
[14:21] Speaker 3: A piecers who feed the crocodile in the hope that
[14:25] Speaker 3: they will be eaten last, like the kind we have
[14:28] Speaker 3: seen recently at the UN General Assembly. And by the way,
[14:32] Speaker 3: President Trump, your team has checked the teleprompteries.
[14:35] Speaker 1: It is working beautifully. What the world needs.
[14:41] Speaker 3: What the world needs now are more leaders who are brave, resolute,
[14:47] Speaker 3: strong and bold.
[14:49] Speaker 1: The world needs more Trumps.
[14:59] Speaker 3: You surprise it, and with your permission, I would like
[15:02] Speaker 3: to take this moment to address Prime Minister Nathanielala.
[15:24] Speaker 2: Of Office, strong against pressures from all around. Steve Whitcost,
[15:32] Speaker 2: who fought with you in the trenches for the return
[15:36] Speaker 2: of the hostages, said about you that the really hard
[15:41] Speaker 2: work was the Prime Minister's work. He was the person
[15:45] Speaker 2: who had to make very tough decisions. How tough to
[15:49] Speaker 2: be with Hamas and when to be more flexible. There
[15:53] Speaker 2: were times where with you, mister Whitcoff, that I thought
[15:58] Speaker 2: we need to be more flexible or tougher. But I
[16:01] Speaker 2: think in hindsight that we would not have reached this
[16:05] Speaker 2: point if the Prime Minister had not acted as he.
[16:09] Speaker 5: Did Gumnasicially, President also you, mister President Donald Trump believes.
[16:34] Speaker 2: In you as well, that you had to make very
[16:37] Speaker 2: very hard decisions. People who were less courageous would not
[16:41] Speaker 2: have been able to make those decisions. Here we are
[16:44] Speaker 2: today because Hamas had no alternative. That is what mister
[16:49] Speaker 2: Whitkof said. They had to They were constrained to reach
[16:52] Speaker 2: that decision. They saw what an army we had, an
[16:57] Speaker 2: army we had, and how we advanced so significantly, and
[17:01] Speaker 2: that is what enabled this. That is what the Ambassador
[17:06] Speaker 2: Whitkoff said yesterday, mister Prime Minister. The President Trump said
[17:12] Speaker 2: that you are the right person at the right time.
[17:15] Speaker 2: And I am proud to say from here in the
[17:18] Speaker 2: eyes of the world, thanks to you, we've reached these
[17:23] Speaker 2: achievements that we reached. It was thanks to you. Thank you.
[17:46] Speaker 6: Byomase, on this day, we would like to thank from
[17:51] Speaker 6: the hearts and our souls of our nation to the
[17:55] Speaker 6: brave idp soldiers.
[18:27] Speaker 2: We would like to sang the brave idea of soldiers
[18:32] Speaker 2: who soared ahead as lions and sacrificed and endangered their
[18:39] Speaker 2: lives for the sake of Israel. Some of them had
[18:41] Speaker 2: to sacrifice their lives, and we would like to bow
[18:44] Speaker 2: their heads and the bereave families. Their blood was never
[18:49] Speaker 2: shed in vain because by their sacrifice they brought us
[18:54] Speaker 2: to this elevated moment, and their names will remain engraved
[18:59] Speaker 2: in the hearts of our people, our nation.
[19:05] Speaker 3: President Trump, you are the President of peace. There was
[19:10] Speaker 3: not a single person on this planet who did more
[19:14] Speaker 3: than you to advance peace. No one even came close.
[19:20] Speaker 3: Your election to the presidency marked a turning point, not
[19:24] Speaker 3: only for the United States, but for the entire world.
[19:30] Speaker 3: Through your strength of character and unwavering resolve, you brought
[19:36] Speaker 3: an end to bloody conflicts in no fewer than eight
[19:40] Speaker 3: regions across the globe in less than nine months. You
[19:45] Speaker 3: became one of the most consequential presidents in history. You
[19:50] Speaker 3: saved countless lives that would have been lost without your leadership,
[19:56] Speaker 3: and as our sages teach, who ever saves one life,
[20:01] Speaker 3: it is as though he has saved an entire world.
[20:05] Speaker 3: You have proven that true peace is achieved through strength,
[20:11] Speaker 3: and that only those who are prepared to use force
[20:14] Speaker 3: in the present can prevent the need to use it
[20:18] Speaker 3: in the future. Mister President, you, more than any other individual,
[20:30] Speaker 3: are deserving of the highest recognition for your efforts in
[20:35] Speaker 3: promoting peace. Therefore, I hereby announce that, together with our
[20:42] Speaker 3: good friend, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, we will
[20:46] Speaker 3: rally speakers and Presidents of parliaments from around the world
[20:51] Speaker 3: to submit your candidacy for the Noble Prize Peace Prize
[20:56] Speaker 3: next year.
[20:57] Speaker 1: There is no one more deserving then you, President.
[21:01] Speaker 3: Trump, no one.
[21:28] Speaker 2: President. We are standing at a historic moment that will
[21:34] Speaker 2: be written in the annals of history. This is such
[21:36] Speaker 2: a moving moment that we have wished and prayed for.
[21:41] Speaker 2: In Jeremiah, we read in the Bible about the mother
[21:45] Speaker 2: who is crying for her sons, with the tears streaming
[21:51] Speaker 2: down her cheeks. She said that our brethren will come
[21:57] Speaker 2: back from the land of the enemy, and the sons
[22:02] Speaker 2: and daughters will return to their borders. I would like
[22:09] Speaker 2: to wish a speedy and full recovery to all the
[22:13] Speaker 2: wounded and to the hostages. How good that you are home,
[22:20] Speaker 2: President Trump. Let us pray that God Almighty will wish
[22:28] Speaker 2: you your country, your family, and all your citizens. And
[22:34] Speaker 2: may there be peace on you and all of us.
[22:37] Speaker 3: May God bless the United States of America, and may
[22:40] Speaker 3: God bless the State of Israel.
[22:44] Speaker 2: We thank you very much, and we wish you a
[22:48] Speaker 2: very hadsome air, a good feast of the tabernacles, the

[26:55] Speaker 8: reasons to thank you since your last visit here. Thank
[27:00] Speaker 8: you for recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Thank
[27:18] Speaker 8: you for standing up to the lies against Israel in
[27:23] Speaker 8: the United Nations. Thank you for recognizing in your twenty
[27:36] Speaker 8: twenty Peace Plan our rights in Judee and Samaria, the ancestral.
[27:41] Speaker 7: Homeland of the Jewish people.
[27:50] Speaker 8: Thank you for brokering the historic Abraham Accords Abram Abaham
[27:57] Speaker 8: miskimil Ham. Thank you for withdrawing from the disastrous Iran
[28:10] Speaker 8: nuclear Deal. Thank you for supporting Operation Rising Line, and
[28:23] Speaker 8: for your bold decision to launch Operation Midnight Hammer.
[28:28] Speaker 1: Boy, is that you got to hear this? This is
[28:38] Speaker 1: the most fitting name.
[28:40] Speaker 8: Ever named for a military operation because a little after midnight.
[28:45] Speaker 7: You really hammered them.
[28:52] Speaker 8: My friends, this is only a partial list, but it's
[28:57] Speaker 8: enough to affirm what I've said time and again. Donald
[29:01] Speaker 8: Trump is the greatest friend that the State of Israel
[29:05] Speaker 8: has ever had in the White House. No American president
[29:35] Speaker 8: has ever done more for Israel. And as I said
[29:38] Speaker 8: in Washington, it ain't even close. It's really not a match,
[29:45] Speaker 8: mister President. Today, we welcome you here to thank you
[29:50] Speaker 8: for your pivotal leadership and putting forward a proposal that
[29:54] Speaker 8: got the backing of almost the entire world, a proposal,
[29:59] Speaker 8: a proposal that brings all our hostages home, a proposal
[30:08] Speaker 8: that ends the war by achieving all our objectives, a
[30:16] Speaker 8: proposal that opens the door to an historic expansion of
[30:20] Speaker 8: peace in our region and beyond our region. Mister President,
[30:25] Speaker 8: you are committed to this piece. I am committed to
[30:28] Speaker 8: this piece, and together, mister President, we will achieve this piece.
[30:37] Speaker 8: We've done it before, We've done it before in the
[30:42] Speaker 8: Abrahama Coords, and we'll do it again, mister President.
[30:48] Speaker 7: Today the Jewish calendar marks the end of two years
[30:52] Speaker 7: of war.
[30:53] Speaker 8: That war began on October seventh, on the Jewish festival
[30:58] Speaker 8: of Sibratura. You always tell me, and you tell the world,
[31:04] Speaker 8: remember October seventh, mister President.
[31:10] Speaker 7: We remember.
[31:12] Speaker 8: We remember the thousands of Hamas terrorists who stormed into
[31:15] Speaker 8: our towns in Kibbutzim. We remember the twelve hundred people
[31:20] Speaker 8: Hamas savagely flaughtered in cold blood, including dozens and dozens
[31:26] Speaker 8: of Americans. We remember entire families burnt alive, burnt alive
[31:32] Speaker 8: as they embraced each other. We remember the beautiful young
[31:37] Speaker 8: Israelis brutally gunned down at the Nova Music Festival. We
[31:44] Speaker 8: remember the hundreds of our citizens who were dragged into
[31:47] Speaker 8: the dungeons of Gaza including twelve Americans, men and women,
[31:53] Speaker 8: young and old, babies, and elderly Holocaust survivors. My friends,
[32:01] Speaker 8: mister President Donald, these monsters take babies as hostages. In
[32:11] Speaker 8: response to this barbaric attack on October seventh, Israel did
[32:15] Speaker 8: what it had to do with indomitable courage. We set
[32:20] Speaker 8: out to defend our people, to defeat our enemies, and
[32:25] Speaker 8: to release our hostages. Our heroic soldiers fought like lions.
[32:32] Speaker 8: They fought on the front lines of civilization and barbarism.
[32:36] Speaker 8: Israel achieved amazing victories over Hamas and the entire Iran
[32:41] Speaker 8: terror axis Sineoir dev Khania naswala Asad, They're all gone. Iran's,
[33:05] Speaker 8: Iran's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile program. With your enormous self,
[33:10] Speaker 8: mister President, rolled back half the Houti leadership wiped out.
[33:17] Speaker 8: But the price of this victory, the price of these
[33:21] Speaker 8: victories has been heavy. Nearly two thousands of Visual's finest
[33:26] Speaker 8: were lost, nearly half in battle. They're left behind parents, spouses,
[33:34] Speaker 8: siblings and children. Their love and laughter, their promise and
[33:39] Speaker 8: potential were lost forever to the families of our fallen fighters.
[33:47] Speaker 8: Many of them are here. I say, I know the
[33:52] Speaker 8: depth of your pain. I know the inconsolable grief that
[34:01] Speaker 8: will accompany you for the rest of your lives. The
[34:05] Speaker 8: State of Israel bows its head in eternal gratitude to
[34:10] Speaker 8: our fallen heroes. Because of these heroes, our nation will survive.
[34:18] Speaker 8: Because of these heroes, our nations will thrive, and because
[34:24] Speaker 8: of these.
[34:24] Speaker 7: Heroes, our nation will have peace.
[34:30] Speaker 8: Mister President, Thousands of our brave soldiers were also wounded,
[34:36] Speaker 8: suffering terrible blows to body and soul. Brave soldiers like
[34:42] Speaker 8: Ari's speaks. Ari is an American. Ari is an American
[34:52] Speaker 8: Israeli who was injured. Ari is an American Israeli who
[35:30] Speaker 8: was injured in Gaza while searching for Hamas terraces and weapons.
[35:35] Speaker 8: Two of Ari's comrades were killed in this action and
[35:38] Speaker 8: ten were injured. Ari was presumed dead but made a
[35:43] Speaker 8: miraculous recovery despite losing three limbs. Ari, stand up for
[35:53] Speaker 8: a minute alone. Stand up there you go, there, Ari, Ali,
[36:01] Speaker 8: You are the spirit of Joshua. You are the spirit
[36:04] Speaker 8: of David. You are the spirit of the Maccabees. You
[36:08] Speaker 8: are the spirit of Israel. I salute you, We all
[36:13] Speaker 8: salute you. Sabin Tasa of Kibativa. Sarah is watching us
[36:37] Speaker 8: today from the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles. Sabin lost
[36:42] Speaker 8: her husband and her oldest son on October seventh. She
[36:49] Speaker 8: is the mother of three other boys, two of them
[36:53] Speaker 8: Cohen and Shi, witness their father jump on a Hamas
[36:57] Speaker 8: grenade save his two sons. We all saw the film
[37:04] Speaker 8: of those two boys crying out in pain. Father is dead.
[37:12] Speaker 8: Why why did God save me? Mister President, my friend Donald.
[37:21] Speaker 8: I've seen some very tough things in my life, but
[37:26] Speaker 8: I couldn't bring myself to watch those boys suffering again.
[37:32] Speaker 8: So I didn't see this film except once. It's Sabine.
[37:39] Speaker 8: Their mother has had the strength and fortitude to show
[37:44] Speaker 8: this film across the world and my wife Sarah, and
[37:49] Speaker 8: I asked her, Sabina, how do you do it?
[37:55] Speaker 7: Why do you do it? And she answered, I do
[38:00] Speaker 7: it to show the.
[38:02] Speaker 8: Entire world the monsters Israel is fighting and the justice
[38:06] Speaker 8: of our cause. This is what she's doing once again
[38:09] Speaker 8: in Los Angeles. Sabin, you can hear me now, So
[38:14] Speaker 8: I want to tell you on behalf of all of us.
[38:17] Speaker 8: You embody the spirit of our biblical heroines Deborah, Ruth
[38:22] Speaker 8: and Esther. You too, are the spirit of Israel, and
[38:26] Speaker 8: we all salute you. Mister President. You asked me on
[38:44] Speaker 8: our many conversations during the twelve day war with Iran,
[38:49] Speaker 8: You ask me, how are the people holding up? And
[38:52] Speaker 8: I said to you, our people are strong. ISRAELI is
[38:57] Speaker 8: our nation of lions with on limited resolve to defend
[39:01] Speaker 8: our country and secure our future. The people, the people
[39:06] Speaker 8: give strength to our soldiers, and the people give strength
[39:10] Speaker 8: to me and to my colleagues. The Jewish people have
[39:14] Speaker 8: risen from the actions time and again. But when we
[39:17] Speaker 8: formed the State of Israel and the Army of Israel,
[39:21] Speaker 8: we pledged never again, never again, would be defenseless against
[39:26] Speaker 8: our enemies, and that that resolute strength not only assures
[39:34] Speaker 8: our survival, it assures our future, it assures peace. We
[39:40] Speaker 8: have paid, We have paid a high price for this war.
[39:45] Speaker 8: But our enemies now understand just how powerful and just
[39:50] Speaker 8: how determined Israel is. They understand that attacking Israel and
[39:55] Speaker 8: October seventh was a catastrophic mistake. Understand that Israel is
[40:01] Speaker 8: strong and that Israel is here to stay. And this,
[40:05] Speaker 8: mister President, is the indispensable foundation of peace. Peace through strength,
[40:14] Speaker 8: ladies and gentlemen, This is a momentous day, a day
[40:18] Speaker 8: of great joy as the remaining hostages come home. My
[40:23] Speaker 8: wife Sarah and I have met with the hostage families
[40:25] Speaker 8: many times. There were no words to describe their agony,
[40:31] Speaker 8: only tears of bottomless sorrow and unimaginable pain. At the
[40:37] Speaker 8: beginning of the war, I promised to bring all the
[40:40] Speaker 8: hostages home. Today, with the indispensable help, the determined and
[40:48] Speaker 8: focused help, the unremitting help of President Trump is esteem,
[40:53] Speaker 8: and with the incredible sacrifice and courage of the soldiers
[40:58] Speaker 8: of Isuel, we are fulfilling that promise.
[41:08] Speaker 7: It has been a long journey to get here.
[41:11] Speaker 8: In the first week of the war, our brave soldiers
[41:15] Speaker 8: put military pressure on Hamas, and the international community put
[41:20] Speaker 8: diplomatic pressure on them. This enabled us to secure the
[41:24] Speaker 8: release of over one hundred hostages. In heroic rescue attempts
[41:29] Speaker 8: behind enemy lines, Israel's special forces rescued eight live hostages
[41:35] Speaker 8: and brought back the remains of a dozens more. But
[41:39] Speaker 8: as time went on we all know what happened. The
[41:43] Speaker 8: diplomatic pressure was turned on its head.
[41:47] Speaker 4: More and more.
[41:48] Speaker 8: Governments bought into Hamas's false propaganda. More and more governments
[41:53] Speaker 8: succumbed to anti Semitic mobs in their own countries.
[41:57] Speaker 7: They just turned on Israel.
[42:00] Speaker 8: For us to surrender to Haramas demands, just leave Gaza immediately,
[42:03] Speaker 8: they said, end the war without committing to disarm Haramas,
[42:07] Speaker 8: without committing to demilitarize Gaza. That Israel succumb to those demands,
[42:14] Speaker 8: not only would the sinoir Asralla Asad and Iran's missile
[42:20] Speaker 8: and nuclear program remained intact. Not only that, because in
[42:26] Speaker 8: no time the Haramas killers would be back on the
[42:29] Speaker 8: border fence, ready to repeat the horrors of October seventh,
[42:32] Speaker 8: again and again as they vowed to do. But just
[42:37] Speaker 8: at that point, just at that point of maximum pressure
[42:42] Speaker 8: on Israel, a man named Donald J. Trump was elected
[42:47] Speaker 8: President of the United States, and ladies and gentlemen, overnight, overnight,
[43:03] Speaker 8: everything changed everything, mister President, Thanks to your unequivocal backing
[43:15] Speaker 8: of Israel, we secured a second hostage deal within weeks
[43:20] Speaker 8: of your election, and in the months that followed, we
[43:25] Speaker 8: worked closely together to forge a path to bring the
[43:28] Speaker 8: remaining hostages home and in the war and the war
[43:31] Speaker 8: in a way that ensures the disarming of Ramas, the
[43:35] Speaker 8: demilitarization of Gaza and that Gaza would never again pose
[43:38] Speaker 8: a threat to Israel. Two months ago, you fully backed
[43:43] Speaker 8: my decision to send the IDF into the last Ramas
[43:46] Speaker 8: stronghold in Gaza City. You shared my view that this
[43:50] Speaker 8: military pressure would help free the hostages. And despite all
[43:55] Speaker 8: the criticism, all the naysayers, we were right. Hamas caved in,
[44:03] Speaker 8: and two weeks ago you succeeded in doing something miraculous.
[44:12] Speaker 8: You succeeded in doing something that no one believed was possible.
[44:17] Speaker 8: You brought most of the Arab world. You brought most
[44:23] Speaker 8: of the world behind your proposal to free the hostages
[44:27] Speaker 8: and end the war. I want to thank Steve Whitkoff,
[44:32] Speaker 8: Jared Kushner, and Ron Dermer for their great contribution to
[44:39] Speaker 8: this effort. And I want to thank our negotiating team.
[45:06] Speaker 8: I believe that the close cooperation between the two of us,
[45:10] Speaker 8: between our two nations, combining Israel's military pressure and President
[45:16] Speaker 8: Trump's unmatched global leadership. I have to tell you, I've
[45:21] Speaker 8: seen a lot of American presidents, seen them all in
[45:25] Speaker 8: the time that I've been here, and I've been here
[45:26] Speaker 8: quite a lot of time. I've never seen anyone move
[45:33] Speaker 8: the world so quickly, so decisively, so resolutely. As our
[45:41] Speaker 8: friend President Donald J. Trump, with our military pressure and
[46:03] Speaker 8: President Trump's global leadership, we achieved this historic moment. It's
[46:09] Speaker 8: a moment of indisc joy as our nation embraces our
[46:14] Speaker 8: sons who are coming home.
[46:17] Speaker 7: Mister President.
[46:18] Speaker 8: This week, Jews around the world, Jews around the world,
[46:26] Speaker 8: they are going to read the Book of Ecclesiastics cohelits
[46:30] Speaker 8: in the Bible. The Bible has many miraculous moments.
[46:40] Speaker 7: One of them.
[46:42] Speaker 8: Was your decision to Bombfordeaux. I think it was a
[46:49] Speaker 8: pivot of history because it wasn't meant only to Bombfordeaux.
[46:54] Speaker 7: That action.
[46:56] Speaker 8: And your previous action, I've taken out Cossim Suleimany, the
[47:02] Speaker 8: architect of death. I think that changed the balance of
[47:08] Speaker 8: power in the world. You brought America back again to
[47:16] Speaker 8: the driver seats. Now I said that we're going to
[47:24] Speaker 8: read this week the Book of Ecclesiastics. It has it's
[47:29] Speaker 8: not a book of action, it's a book of meditations
[47:35] Speaker 8: of thought, a perspective on life and on death. And
[47:41] Speaker 8: in this book we read the immortal words of King Solomon.
[47:46] Speaker 8: To everything, there is a season and a time for
[47:50] Speaker 8: every matter under heaven. Etmilkhama the e Shalom. A time
[47:57] Speaker 8: for peace and a time for war. The last two
[48:01] Speaker 8: years have been a time of war. The coming years
[48:06] Speaker 8: will hopefully be a time for peace. Peace inside Israel
[48:19] Speaker 8: and peace outside Israel. I look forward to continuing marching
[48:39] Speaker 8: with you on the path we pave together with the
[48:43] Speaker 8: Abraham Accords. Under your leadership, we can forge new peace
[48:50] Speaker 8: treaties with Arab countries in the region and Muslim countries
[48:55] Speaker 8: beyond the region. Abraham's children will work together to build
[49:00] Speaker 8: a better future, a future that will unite civilization against barbarism,
[49:06] Speaker 8: light against darkness, and hope against despair. And my friends,
[49:15] Speaker 8: I believe that with President Trump's leadership, this will happen
[49:21] Speaker 8: a lot faster than people think. As Prime Minister of Israel,
[49:31] Speaker 8: I extend my hand to hold those who seek peace
[49:34] Speaker 8: with us. No one wants peace more than the people
[49:39] Speaker 8: of Israel. Israel will always remain vigilant in defending itself,
[49:45] Speaker 8: and Israel will always remain full of hope. Hope is
[49:50] Speaker 8: our national hanthem, Hope is our creed, Hope is our strength.
[49:55] Speaker 8: It is time, my friends, to realize that hope and
[49:59] Speaker 8: expand the circle of peace mister President, thank you for
[50:06] Speaker 8: all you have done for us. I've submitted your nomination
[50:15] Speaker 8: to be the first non Israeli recipient of the Israel Prize,
[50:21] Speaker 8: Israel's highest award. As to that other prize, just a
[50:26] Speaker 8: question of time you'll get it, but I want you
[50:28] Speaker 8: to get the Israel Prize, our highest award, to our
[50:33] Speaker 8: greatest friend. When others were weak, you were strong when
[50:54] Speaker 8: others were fearful. You were bold when others abandoned us.
[50:59] Speaker 8: You stood by our side on behalf of the government
[51:02] Speaker 8: and people of issuel I. Thank you for your extraordinary friendship.
[51:06] Speaker 8: Thank you for helping bring our hostages home. Thank you
[51:10] Speaker 8: for supporting Israel's march to victory. Thank you for paving
