" israel must not be fooled. this same international community will not be there when the terrorist attacks come back. this same international community, joined by its supporters in congress, will continue to call israel an apartheid state. the real answer to the arab-israel conflict began to emerge in the last administration. the trump peace plan was the most comprehensive and realistic approach to ending the dispute between israel and the palestinians. it showed that both parties' in terests can be served without empowering the terrorists, and the abraham accords showed that the palestinian issue is not the key to a broader middle east peace. the real key is a strong israel that defends itself and shows its neighbors that they have much more to gain from their friendship than from their hostility. peace will come to israel in the broader -- and the broader region, i have faith in that. as long as israel continues to show its strength and determination, not in an arrogant way, but in the thoughtful and inspiring

israel is a rule of law based nation. israel is an outlier in the region. in college campuses throughout this country, israel is the bad guy. how about that? israel is not the bad guy. what i worry about is the rise of isis and al qaeda. i worry that everybody who fought along our side that we left behind is going to meet a terrible demise. i worry that those who have been with us may 2-guess whether you should stick with the united states. i worry about taiwan. i worry about the chinese licking their chops and believing that now is the time because in america, you don't have the resolve to do things that you used to be willing to do. i worry that our allies in the region no longer can trust us. i worry that our friends in israel feel like they might have to go it alone when it comes to stopping a nuclear armed iran. i worry about the jcpoa being restarted. it's the worst bill since munich. i believe that the biden ministration would crawl through grat -- glass to get a deal with the iranians. israel will use military force if they have to. stopping ayatoll

and we stand with israel for the same reason the american people have always stood with israel. we stand with israel because her cause is our cause. her values are our values. her fight is our fight. we stand with israel because we believe in right over wrong and good over evil. and we stand with israel because we hold fast to that ancient promise that those who bless her will be blessed. [applause] as the great winston churchill said in a speech before the congress in the midst of world war ii, he said "he must indeed have a blind soul who cannot see that some great purpose is being worked out here below, of which we have the privilege to be faithful servants." so it can be said of this nation and even more so of israel, there is a great and invisible hand at work in history. i mean, think about it. how probable is it that a man named abraham would leave and travel north? he ruled no empire, he commanded no army, performed no miracles. but how probable is it that he should become the most influential man in the history of the human race? how probable is it that his descendants

two agreements between israel and egypt, one between israel and syria. it laid the foundations for the american lead peace process. i thought there is something we could learn. four presidents from clinton on have tried and failed to resolve these conflicts. even though kissinger was focused on the state to state conflict, i thought it was something to learn. there was a huge amount of documentation of that period. 5% of the documents have been declassified. kissinger is a student of history, he documented every conversation, every meeting. every phone call. the israeli archives or open. plus henry kissinger, unlike all of his counterparts in that time, is still alive. he was willing to be very generous with his time and i did 12 interviews with him formally. that together with my own experiences which i could use in the story gave me the ability to triangulate what happened then. it the reader into where it happened, because of the regularity of the documentation. try to create that in a way that would only bring to life the middle east diplomacy and th

and israel refused. israel is the one that destroyed was the agreement. israel is the one that is right is, is the one that is not up to me is the one piece. israel is the one that was in all united nations resolutions is what is the criminal in this case? and the very fact that they are the ones who are you buying just for life is totally unacceptable. i accept a but i grew up on my other life on the completion. i am entitled to see them. i, i'm sorry to interrupt. i'm, i'm sorry to interrupt you, but we only got about a, a moment left. i do want to ask an hertzberg, one last thing here. how big of when is this for natalie been it does, does this have an impact on him politically? i mean, i think it's, it's very different. natalie bennett. i think it's, it's not even necessarily a wait for him per se, but for people around the world, we're trying to put an end to terrorism and support for terrorism and promoting un resolution, $1373.00 and or chapter 7 of your, of the security council ending all direct and indirect support for terrorism. so i consider it a win for anyone who actually d

ambassador to israel and was assistant secretary of state for near eastern affairs and was a senior director at the national security council and he was a senior special envoy on the israeli-palestinian peace process through two administrations. before he came to the council on foreign relations, he was at brookings institution where he was executive vice resident and the founding president and head of the center for middle east studies. most importantly, that's why he is here for us today -- he is the author of a terrific new book, master of the game. you will find a link to the book where you can purchase it on her website. it's wonderful to have you and congrats on the book. it's in their lifetime work. it's a terrific read. it's wonderful to have you here with us today. >> thank you, it's great to be with you and i wish it were in person but hopefully, it won't be too long before we can do that. i am really honored to be appearing again at the chicago council. >>>> it's always good to have you back and we will do it again in person next time. for now, let's discuss the book. tell us a li

you see israel acting to containing iran and syria or the nuclear program. the united states is supporting that. i think that his overall approach and that is really palestinian context where i really do feel that there is a potential for a blowup for bigger steps by the israelis. steps to have territorial component as difficult as that may be their ways of doing it. but essentially they need to be a little more active in trying to ensure that the palestinians had a stake in maintaining the order as well because it's going to address their grievances over time. >> let me go to some of the questions. let me start with the big question about kinzinger and the question is can you ever imagine there being another kinzinger and defined not just in terms of the strategic sense of which he brought to the job rather than the technical one that we seen prevail in many ways. also somebody was so dominant in the foreign policy when it was being executed in some way dominant even today all and wrote a book about them. is this singular or do you think we might see this s

the cases have now been detected in israel, germany, u. k. and several other countries. british prime minister parish johnson has tightened rules on scientists all learning more hour by hour. and it does appear on the chrome.

speaking of god, hard and fast that skull of it to israel high, false. it is there for us a not in west harrison, harry israel, taking this threat very, very seriously. it is the prime minister, natalie bennett, said that this is a moment of uncertainty and real risk not wanting to risk the progress made so far in terms of restoring things to a certain degree of a large degree of no, no, no malice see within israel and so on saturday night, the corona virus cabinet emergency cabinet convened and decided a number of policy measures. most importantly to ban foreign arrivals into israel, apart from some few exceptions. if a, if they're a special circumstances, but essentially reversing the opening of the board is the foreign tours in which was just done a few weeks ago. returning is rating is also they will have to current teen for 3 days to fax, unaided, 7 days. if not vaccinated and go straight to government hotel quarantine, if they're coming back from any of the 50 read, listed african countries. and there is a revival of one of the most controversial p

she rides is currently in an israel detention center camera. miss ho asked him a set of questions through his lawyers, to which he replied in writing. the interview and services have all was brought about with knowing every single detail about our lives in the blessed union. 1948 territories. it's my right to ask. did they know about the assassination attempt on layman a barrier and destination of mohammad? why have the men silent while this crimes took place? shake cellar added the official institutions and as it did nothing to disclose the identity of those criminals, and that is not a mere case of negligence. much lies beneath this. however, in the israeli police's defense, they did arrest 2 people for the murder of mohammed abernathy, him in september 2021 and then now awaiting trial organized crime. and israel is not confined to arab communities, several jewish crime gangs have also operated for the past 20 years. and the israeli authorities launched a crack down on them with a special unit co love, full $33.00. it's case 512, resulted in

now, subject to governmentapproval, israel government approval, israel would governmentapproval, israel would be the first country to shut its borders to contain the spread of this and introduce counterterrorism phone tracking technology to trace it. omicron, they have been cases of it traced in israel, one of which has been confirmed as the actual variants. others are suspected, including someone who had already had their booster shots, and that comes just a few days after a top health expert in israel was saying what a major success that their booster campaign had been as they fight the fourth wave. just this week they were starting to vaccinate 5— ii —year—olds, and other prime minister says they are on the verge of a state of emergency, so that's how quickly things have moved in israel. i guess the hope is that this will be a less deadly variant in terms of hospitalisations and deaths, but because so much is unknown, it is amazing to see how rapidly international action is being taken. for example, we learned that in switzerland, they have widened quarantine restrictions, so t

subject to the governmentapproval, israel government approval, israel will governmentapproval, israel will become the first to shut its borders to foreigners and contain the spread and they will reintroduce counterterrorism phone tracking technology to trace the omicron variant around the country. and a few cases, suspected cases have been reported in israel already, one of them confirmed, one of those cases was somebody who already had their booster jab and one of the top health experts in the country was saying a few days ago that the poster campaign across israel had been a major success as they fought the fourth wave of this virus. they have started vaccinating 5— ii —year—olds at the beginning of this week. the israeli prime minister is now saying the country is on the verge of a state of emergency. how quickly things have changed in israel. the hope is that the omicron variant will be less deadly even though it is very transmissible and it will not show up in hospitalisations and deaths as much but frankly it is too early to know for sure so we see this very rapid internat

how quickly things have changed in israel. the hope is that the omicron variant will be less deadly even though it is very transmissible and it will not show up in hospitalisations and deaths as much but frankly it is too early to know for sure so we see this very rapid international reaction and as you said, switzerland also taking action, they have just widened their quarantine requirements for travellers from britain, the czech republic, netherlands, egypt and malawi. not only do they need to provide a negative coronavirus test but they need to quarantine for ten days. it feels like we're going backwards. the case list with this variant seems to growing rapidly? very fast. on top of those dozens of cases in south africa, there were four cases in botswana, two in hong kong, one case in belgium, in germany, two cases, one case in italy, two in the uk. there's been a suspected case in the czech republic. in the netherlands, the health ministry there says a number of the 61 passengers who tested positive on a flight from south

it was a pro-arab state department when he was pursuing a pro-israel policy. he had to maneuver and he was successful in it stop it was only when he became secretary of state that he became dominant and part of the reason for the dominance was that nixon was preoccupied with watergate and had to resign. during that time and certainly months before, he was president de facto but kissinger was. kissinger became dominant because of those particular circumstances. none of those things really apply today and part of the reason for writing the book even those focused on the middle east is i wanted to resurrect the kissingerian approach because i think there is a lot we can learn from it in an era when geopolitics is returning and competition between superpowers is dominating the international system again. ivo: i think you succeed in doing that. the irresponsibility we had for 30 years of not having to think strategically because we were so dominant so whatever we did had a strategic impact. now we have to think about it again. figuring out how to manage the white h

ah, we stopped with breaking news, and israel is banning the entry of all foreigners in reaction to the spread of a new variant of corona virus. it's the most extreme of several new travel restrictions, but the spread of a new infection, maint self be out pacing those efforts with several countries identifying their 1st cases. the world health organization declared omicron, a variant of concern on friday morning. there are signs it could spread more quickly. that's because it has 32 mutations on what's called a spike protein. this is what the virus uses to cause infection, and it's what many vaccines are based on. but there are reports cases. one micron could be mild, several nations of restricted travel from all or some of these southern african countries, including botswana, where the 1st sample came from and south africa, which identified it. on saturday, australia became the latest to bring in restrictions at foreign decisions by the u . s, japan, canada, and others. several countries of already identified cases including israel, which as we now know has banned all foreign travel an

our news reporter mark lobel says israel is alarmed enough to take such action. with the country known as the first vaccinated in the first party because of the success of the vaccine, and now potentially the first to ban rivals of foreigners from countries over 14 days, because it is extremely transmissible variant, and it also has, in a very complicated for israel, right at the start of the hanukkah vacations, the festival of light, the festival that lasts eight days with mostly vaccinated children who are mostly unvaccinated taking part. subject to the government �*s approval, is probably part. subject to the government is appi’ovgl is probably the first to shut its to contain the spread and there will be reintroducing counterterrorism phone tracking technology to trace the omicron variant around the country. a few cases, suspected cases have been reported in israel already, what has been confirmed and one of those somebody who has only had the brewsterjam, when one of the top health experts in the country was just saying a few days ago that the booster ca

how quickly things have changed in israel. the hope is that the omicron variant will be less deadly, even though it is very transmissible, and it won't show up in hospitalisations and deaths as much, but frankly, it is too early to know for sure now, so we see is very rapid international reaction, and as you said switzerland also taking action, they had just widened their quarantine requirements for travellers from britain, the czech republic, the netherlands, egypt and malawi. not only do they have to provide a negative covid test, but they need to quarantine for ten days. it feels like we're going backwards with this new variant. it's growing very fast, on top of the dozens of cases in south africa, there were four cases in botswana, two in hong kong, one in belgium, and in germany there have been two cases, also one case in italy in two cases the uk. there has been a suspected case in the czech republic and in the netherlands, the health ministry that says a number of the 61 passengers are tested positive are probably carry

it comes at a very complicated time for israel. it is coincided with the hannukah vacation, the festival lights that last eight days and involves children, mostly unvaccinated, out—of—school and subject to government approval israel will become the first country to shut its visit de mey borders to visitors and to reintroduce counterterrorism phone tracking technology to trace the variant. if you cases have already been reported, or suspected cases, of omicron in israel, one of them confirmed, one of those suspected cases was someone who had already received their vaccine booster shot and this comes the week in which the top health expert in israel was saying that the poster campaign had been a major success in dealing with them fighting the fourth wife stop at the beginning of the week they started vaccinating 5- ii week they started vaccinating 5— ii —year—olds and now we have the prime minister saying the country is on the verge of a state of emergency. of course the hope is this variant will be less deadly in terms of

e between israel and jordan? well, we had the previous situations where the monarchy in jordan did foreign agreement without going back to part of the month and it caused some crisis . i hope that the government, the represented by the family will, will not go through with this. so the career, the constitutional crisis here, but there yet it is. the agreement is really bad. if jonathan needs water, that's the cell in they could be cell in the water of the go for lack of they have access to that and they need for some reason to have met with they could build them a family which is funding most of this, they could build the mission plans to another country, lebanon, or even just get some water and then ship to jordan. that way is it, is this the only reason that this agreement, this is because is where i guess to control the tap water jordan's work? is it really as simple as that about getting control over jordan, is this not just a not? so another way, some analysts is suggesting, of israel being able to be accept
