00:00First of all, let's start with this historic meeting
00:03between the US and Israeli leaders, which is on the cards.
00:08What will you be hoping for?
00:10Well, first of all, I have to say that it's incredibly apt
00:14that the first foreign leader that is invited to Washington,
00:18to the White House by President Trump
00:20has been the Prime Minister of Israel,
00:23which is a stark contrast from the last administration,
00:26where I think he was one of the last foreign leaders
00:28to be invited.
00:29So that's already a good sign for Israel.
00:32There's a lot to talk about.
00:33We have to talk about what's going to happen
00:36in Gaza post-war.
00:37We have to talk about regional normalization
00:40and regional prosperity.
00:42All Israel has ever wanted, really.
