0:00 · REGION CAN BE PROUD OF.
0:02 · ELIZABETH: OKAY.
0:03 · FIRST, THAT WAS THE PRESIDENT OF
0:05 · EGYPT AT THE PEACE SUMMIT
0:06 · YESTERDAY SAYING PRESIDENT TRUMP
0:08 · IS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD HAVE
0:10 · DONE THAT GAZA CEASEFIRE AND A
0:13 · MIDEAST PEACE PLAN, AND THAT WAS
0:14 · PRESIDENT TRUMP PUBLICLY
0:15 · REBUKING BARACK OBAMA AND JOE
0:16 · BIDEN TO LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE.
0:19 · PRESIDENT TRUMP REINSTATED
0:20 · AMERICA'S TO CREDIBILITY
0:22 · WORLDWIDE.
0:23 · HE PULLED TOGETHER TO HIS SIDE
0:25 · OVER 30 NATIONS; EUROPE, THE
0:27 · MIDDLE EAST.
0:27 · THIS IS AFTER OBAMA BOTCHED IT
0:29 · WITH SYRIA, LIBYA AND IRAQ AND
0:32 · THE RISE OF ISIS, AND BIDEN
0:34 · BOTCHED IT WITH AFGHANISTAN.
0:36 · JOINING US NOW, HARVARD LAW
0:37 · PROFESSOR IF EMERITUS AND
0:39 · CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER, PROFESSOR
0:41 · ALAN DERSHOWITZ.
0:42 · PROFESSOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
0:43 · JOINING US.
0:44 · WHAT'S YOUR REACTION TO WHAT YOU
0:46 · JUST HEARD?
0:47 · BECAUSE THE MEDIA ARE NOW
0:48 · CALLING OUT OBAMA AND BIDEN NOT
0:50 · ACHIEVING WHAT TRUMP IS GETTING.
0:52 · JOE BIDEN CAMPAIGNED ON HIS
0:55 · NEARLY THREE DOZEN YEARS ON
0:56 · SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS.
0:57 · HE WAS OBAMA'S POINT MAN.
0:59 · >> WELL, THEY GOT NOTHING DONE,
1:01 · BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
1:02 · THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
1:03 · MILITARY POWER AND DIPLOMACY.
1:05 · THE REASON THAT DONALD TRUMP,
1:06 · PRESIDENT TRUMP, GOT THIS DONE
1:07 · IS BECAUSE HE FIRST ALLOWED
1:10 · ISRAEL TO DESTROY HAMAS, TO
1:13 · DESTROY HEZBOLLAH, TO ATTACK
1:16 · IRAN, THEN WITH THE HELP OF THE
1:18 · UNITED STATES WEAKEN ALL OF
1:21 · ISRAEL'S ENEMIES AND ALL OF
1:23 · HAMAS' FRIENDS.
1:24 · AND THEN HAMAS HAD NO CHOICE.
1:26 · EVEN SECRETARY OF STATE UNDER
1:32 · PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS HAVE
1:34 · NOW SAID THAT WITHOUT ISRAEL'S
1:38 · ATTACKS, TRUMP COULD NOT HAVE
1:40 · BROUGHT ABOUT DIPLOMATICALLY
1:42 · WHAT HE DID.
1:43 · IT REALLY SHOWS THE INCREDIBLE
1:45 · STRONG RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
1:47 · ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES.
1:48 · WHEN THEY ACT TOGETHER, NOBODY
1:49 · CAN STOP THEM.
1:50 · AND WHEN THEY'RE DIVIDED AS THEY
1:53 · WERE DURING THE OBAMA
1:54 · ADMINISTRATION AND DURING THE
1:56 · BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND
1:57 · WEAKNESS IS SHOWN, THEN YOU'RE
1:58 · NOT GOING TO GET PEACE.
1:59 · YOU ONLY GET PEACE THROUGH
2:01 · STRENGTH.
2:02 · MILITARY STRENGTH IS FOLLOWED BY
2:03 · DIP LO LOMATIC STRENGTH.
2:05 · THAT'S WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
2:07 · UNDERSTOOD.
2:08 · HE UNDERSTOOD IT WELL, AND HE
2:09 · ACHIEVED SUCCESS.
2:10 · ELIZABETH: SO, PROFESSOR, IN THE
2:13 · NOT -- THIS IS NOT OVER.
2:14 · THE PRESIDENT JUST SAID HAMAS
2:16 · WILL BE DISARMED.
2:17 · ISRAEL PULLED BACK TO A
2:19 · PREDETERMINED BUFFER ZONE TO
2:20 · ENSURE HAMAS' DIS:MENT.
2:22 · WE'VE GOT REPORTS THAT HAMAS IS
2:25 · CONSOLIDATING CONTROL, TRYING
2:26 · TO, IN GAZA, ROUNDING PEOPLE UP
2:28 · AND SHOOTING THEM, AND THAT'S
2:29 · POSING A THREAT.
2:30 · >> YEAH.
2:31 · WELL, WE HAVE VIDEOTAPES OF
2:33 · HAMAS MILITANTS SHOOTING PEOPLE
2:35 · IN GAZA.
2:36 · I WONDER IF THEY COUNT THEM
2:38 · AMONG THE PEOPLE 40 WHO DIED IN
2:40 · GAZA.
2:41 · WE KNOW HAMAS KILLED A LOT OF
2:44 · PALESTINIANS.
2:44 · THEY ARE TRYING TO SEEK CONTROL.
2:46 · THE PROBLEM IS THEY HAVE NO MORE
2:48 · LEVERAGE.
2:48 · WITHOUT THE HOSTAGES, BOTH
2:51 · ISRAEL WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE
2:53 · UNITED STATES COULD MOVE IN AND
2:55 · REALLY DISARM HAMAS.
2:57 · SO I HOPE IT'S NOT NECESSARY.
2:59 · I HOPE HAMAS WILL DISARM ITSELF.
3:01 · BUT IF IT REFUSES TO DO THAT,
3:03 · THEN PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS PUT HIS
3:05 · CREDIBILITY BEHIND DISARMING
3:07 · HAMAS.
3:07 · THAT HAS TO BE DONE.
3:09 · THERE'LL NEVER BE ULTIMATE PEACE
3:11 · IN THE REGION IF HAMAS IF IS
3:13 · STILL IN CONTROL CAN OF GAZA.
3:15 · AND ALL THESE DEMONSTRATORS WHO
3:18 · WERE DEMONSTRATING IN FAVOR OF
3:20 · CEASEFIRE -- AND THEY NEVER
3:21 · WANTED A CEASEFIRE.
3:22 · THEY ONLY WANTED THE DESTRUCTION
3:24 · OF ISRAEL.
3:26 · I'VE OFFERED $1,000 TO ANYBODY'S
3:28 · FAVORITE CHARITY IF THEY CAN
3:29 · FIND ME ONE DEMONSTRATION THAT
3:31 · CALLED FOR TWO STATES.
3:32 · THEY NEVER DO.
3:33 · THEY ALL CALL FOR PALESTINE WILL
3:35 · BE FREE FROM THE RIVER TO THE
3:37 · SEA, JIHAD, INTI NADA --
3:40 · INTIFADA, END OF ISRAEL.
3:42 · THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT.
3:43 · THEY DIDN'T GET IT IN THIS DEAL,
3:45 · SO THEY'RE SILENT, THEY'RE
3:46 · QUIET.
3:46 · WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ANY OF
3:47 · THEM, AND WE WON'T.
3:49 · BECAUSE THEIR DESIRE IS THE END
3:50 · OF ISRAEL, NOT THE WELFARE OF
3:52 · THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE.
