>> IF I WIN, WHICH I HOPE TO
>> IF I WIN, WHICH I HOPE TO
WIN, HOW CAN YOU NOT WHEN YOU
SEE NUMBERS LIKE THIS BOTH ON
THE VIRUS AND ON THE ECONOMY.
ERIC: WELL, THAT’S PRESIDENT
TRUMP LAST NIGHT SAYING THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION COULD MOVE TO
SLAP -- SNAP BACK SANCTIONS
AGAINST IRAN IN THE UNITED
NATIONS THIS UPCOMING WEEK.
AFTER REJECTING U.S. RESOLUTION
TO EXTEND 13-YEAR LONG ARM’S
EMBARGO.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU CALLING THAT
FAILURE SCANDALOUS SAYING,
QUOTE, IRANIAN TERRORISM AND
AGGRESSION THREATEN THE PEACE OF
THE REGION AND THE ENTIRE WORLD.
THIS COMES AFTER THE MAJOR
DIPLOMATIC VICTORY THIS PAST
WEEK.
THE PRIME MINISTER AND THE
PRESIDENT AND THE EMIRATES CROWN
PRINCE TO RESTORE FULL
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH FIRST
ARAB GULF NATION IN ISRAEL,
OTHER GULF STATES COULD SOON
FOLLOW AND THAT WOULD REALIGN
THE MIDDLE EAST TO FACE THE
GROWING IRANIAN THREAT.
WITH MORE ON THIS PRIME MINISTER
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU.
YOU MUST BE FEELING GOOD, PRETTY
SURPRISE THAT YOU SPRUNG ON THE
WORLD.
>> WELL, THANKS TO PRESIDENT
TRUMP AND THE CROWN PRINCE
MOHAMED, I THINK WE ARE CHANGING
AND MAKING HISTORY.
PEACE IS A GOOD THING AND THE
PEACE UNITS MODERATE -- TWO OF
THE MOST ADVANCED ECONOMIES IN
THE WORLD, ISRAEL AND THE UNITED
ARAB EMIRATES AND WE ARE
ARAB EMIRATES AND WE ARE
FIGHTING IRAN AND RADICALS AND
PROPAGATE TERRORISM, THIS IS
GOOD FOR SECURITY, GOOD FOR
PROSPERITY.
I THINK IT’S GOOD FOR THE UNITED
STATES AND GOOD FOR ISRAEL.
ERIC: FIRST IT WAS EGYPT
RELATIONS ESTABLISHED BACK IN
1979 AND THEN JORDAN IN 1994.
EU ONE OF GULF COUNTRIES, WHICH
ONE WOULD FOLLOW?
WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL FOLLOW
NEXT?
>> I THINK THE NEXT PURSUING
DISCREETLY AS WE WORK DISCREETLY
TO ACHIEVE BREAKTHROUGH PEACE.
ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT I
HAVE BEEN TALKING TO ARAB
LEADERS SOMETIMES IN THE OPEN AS
IN MY PUBLIC VISIT TO OMAN IN
THE LATE SULTAN THAT INVITED MY
WIFE AND ME TO FORMAL VISIT EVEN
THOUGH WE DIDN’T HAVE DIPLOMATIC
RELATIONS AND I CAN TELL YOU
THAT’S NOT THE ONLY MEETING THAT
I’VE HELD IN THE REGION AND THE
ARAB COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN COMING
AROUND TO SEE THAT THEY CAN’T BE
HELD HOSTAGE BY PALESTINIANS,
THEY HAVE PEACE WITH ISRAEL AND
CHANGE TECHNOLOGIES AND
CORONAVIRUS VACCINE DEVELOPMENT,
HEALTH, INFRASTRUCTURE, ENERGY,
ALL THE WONDERS OF ISRAELI
TECHNOLOGY AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP
THAT YOU SEE IN GULF STATES AND
ESPECIALLY IN EMIRATES AND IN
ISRAEL, AND IF WE JOIN THINGS WE
CAN DO WONDERFUL THINGS AND
LIMITLESS THINGS FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THE PEOPLE AND WELL-BEING AND
FOR THEIR SECURITY.
ERIC: DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS YOU
JUST POINTED OUT HAVE BEEN
ANNOUNCED ISRAELI RESEARCH
COMPANY UAE IS WORKING ON COVID
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE THE FACT LIKE
JERUSALEM POST, YOU CAN READ
THAT IN UAE AND YOU HAVE DIRECT
TELEPHONE SERVICE AND SOON
DIRECT FLIGHTS AND YOU MENTIONED
THE PALESTINIANS FOR YEARS WE
HAVE SEEN THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE
PEACE WITH THE PALESTINIANS AND
THE REST OF THE ARAB WORLD WOULD
COME AROUND AND YOU TRIMMED
AROUND AND ESTABLISHING PEACE
WITH ARAB NEIGHBORS AND WORKING
ON THE PALESTINIAN ISSUE?
>> LOOK, IF YOU GIVE THE
PALESTINIANS A VETO ON PEACE
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE ARAB
WORLD WE WILL NEVER HAVE PEACE
WITH THE ARAB WORLD BECAUSE THEY
ARE REFUSING TO HAVE ANY
REALISTIC SETTLEMENT.
BY THE WAY PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
PEACE PLAN IS THE ONLY REALISTIC
PROPOSAL THAT’S BEEN PUT FORWARD
FOR MANY DECADES BUT THE
PALESTINIANS ARE NOT COMING
AROUND, SO I THINK IT’S ACTUALLY
NOT THAT IF WE HAVE A
BREAKTHROUGH WITH THE
PALESTINIANS WE WILL BROKE OPEN
TO ARAB WORLD.
I THINK IT’S THE OTHER WAY
AROUND.
WE WILL HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH WITH
ARAB STATES AND THE PALESTINIANS
WILL COME AROUND IN A MORE
REALISTIC WAY, SO I THINK THIS
IS GOOD FOR PEACE ALL AROUND,
BUT I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, I
THINK THAT IT REALLY DOES BEGIN
TO CHANGE HISTORY.
IT’S THIRD-PEACE AGREEMENT THAT
ISRAEL HAS HAD WITH ARAB
COUNTRY.
THE FIRST PEACE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN ISRAEL AND ONE OF THE
GULF STATES AND I THINK THE
FIRST PEACE AGREEMENT IN WHICH I
PROMULGATE NEW DOCTRINE, SOME
PEOPLE CALL IT THE NETANYAHU
DOCTRINE, IT’S CALLED PEACE FOR
PEACE AND PEACE THROUGH
STRENGTH.
NOW, YOU KNOW PEACE THROUGH
STRENGTH.
NOBODY WANTS TO MAKE PEACE WITH
A WEAK COUNTRY.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO MAKE PEACE
WITH A STRONG COUNTRY AND I
THINK THAT UNDER MY LEADERSHIP
ISRAEL HAS BECOME A VERY STRONG
COUNTRY, STRONG ECONOMICALLY,
STRONG TECHNOLOGICALLY, STRONG
IN TERMS OF SECURITY AND STRONG
IN THE WILLINGNESS TO FACE UP TO
A REGIME THAT BULLIES EVERYONE
AND THREATENS EVERYONE, I’M
TALKING ABOUT IRAN.
THIS IS PEACE OF THE STRONG AND
I THINK PEACE OF THE HOPEFUL FOR
THE FUTURE.
ERIC: WE’VE -- I’VE INTERVIEWED
YOU STARTING BACK IN 1984 WHEN
YOU WERE WERE UNITED NATIONS
AMBASSADOR HERE IN NEW YORK AND
WE TALKED ABOUT IRAN AND ISLAMIC
TERRORISM AT THAT TIME AND YOU
WROTE THIS BOOK AND I’M HOLDING
IT UP RIGHT NOW.
TERRORISM, HOW THE WEST CAN WIN.
YOU WROTE THIS BOOK I THINK IT
WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS INTO YOUR
TENURE AS THE UNITED NATIONS
AMBASSADOR AND NOW YOU SEE WHAT
HAPPENED AT THE UNITED NATIONS
WHERE YOU USED TO WORK JUST THIS
PAST WEEK GIVING IRAN BASICALLY,
NOT JUST A FREE PASS, BUT THEY
COULD HAVE A FLOW OF WEAPONS
COMING IN STARTING IN OCTOBER,
RUSSIA AND CHINA VETOING THE
U.S. BACKED RESOLUTION, WHAT
DOES THAT DAY ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE
OR HAVE NOT LEARNED ALL OF THESE
YEARS SINCE WE FIRST STARTED
TALKING ABOUT THIS DECADES AGO?
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I SMILE
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE U.S. --
RATHER THE UN DISAPPOINTS US
ONCE AGAIN.
WELL, THAT’S NOT A SURPRISE.
WE IN ISRAEL HAVE BEEN
DISAPPOINTED BY THE UN TIME AND
TIME AGAIN, BUT I THINK THAT
THIS PARTICULAR DECISION IS
ABSOLUTELY SCANDALOUS, YOU KNOW,
IRAN IS PROVING MURDER AND
TERROR THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE
EAST, ATTACKING EVERYONE.
IT TAX SAUDI ARABIA, IT ATTACKS
-- IT ATTACKS IRAQ, IT ATTACKS
-- TRIES TO ATTACK US THROUGH
SYRIA AND LEBANON.
IT’S JUST IN AFRICA, EVERYWHERE
SOWING MAYHEM AND WHAT DOES THE
UN DO, REJECTS THE U.S.
RESOLUTION THAT CALLS ON THE
RENEWAL OF THE ARM’S EMBARGO TO
IRAN.
IRAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO EARN
THIS FROM THE UN, IT DOES
EVERYTHING NOT TO EARN IT AND
BASICALLY SEE CONTINUATION TO
HAVE ARM’S EMBARGO AND WHAT IS
NEEDED FOR BLOCKING AGGRESSION
AND FURTHERING PEACE AND AGAIN
THE UN HAS DISAPPOINTED US.
NOT A SURPRISE BUT
DISAPPOINTMENT BUT WE IN ISRAEL
WILL DO WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO
TO DEFEND OURSELVES AGAINST
IRAN’S AGGRESSION AND I’M SURE
THE UN -- THE U.S. WILL DO THE
SAME.
ERIC: DO YOU THINK IRONICALLY
WITH THE IRANIAN NUCLEAR DEAL
NEGOTIATED UNDER THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION THAT IN A CERTAIN
WAY AND THIS IS IRONIC CALLED
GULF NATIONS TO HAVE A SECOND
LOOK AND ACTUALLY IN A SENSE GOT
THEM TO MISTRUST IRAN EVEN MORE
AND COME TO THE TABLE AND MEET
YOU AND START DIPLOMATIC
RELATIONS?
>> WELL, WHAT I CAN TELL YOU,
ERIC, IS THAT I KNOW MANY
LEADERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST WERE
-- TOOK NOTE OF THE FACT THAT I
WAS WILLING TO STAND UP
SOMETIMES AGAINST THE ENTIRE
WORLD, SOMETIMES ALONE AGAINST
THE DANGEROUS NUCLEAR DEAL WITH
IRAN.
I THINK THAT DEFINITELY HAD A
CONTRIBUTION TO ACHIEVING THE
HISTORIC, MANY COUNTRIES NOW IN
THE MIDDLE EAST USED TO VIEW
ISRAEL AS THEIR ENEMY, NOW VIEW
AS INDISPENSABLE ALLY IN
PROTECTING THEIR FUTURE AND
THEIR SECURITY.
ERIC: IT IS A SEEMINGLY CHANGING
STEP BY STEP WITH THE VICTORY.
ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER
NETANYAHU, THANK YOU FOR COMING
TO FOX NEWS CHANNEL.
GOOD TO TALK WITH YOU AND WE
WILL KEEP UP WITH YOU WHEN
ANOTHER GULF NATION WILL
ESTABLISH DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS,
OF COURSE, WE WILL REPORT ON
THAT.
THANK YOU, SIR.
>> THANK YOU, AND WE DEEPLY,
DEEPLY APPRECIATE THE HELP OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE U.S. IN
ADVANCING THIS PEACE AND FURTHER
PEACE DEALS.
IT’S BEEN INDISPENSABLE AND MUCH
