Transcript

00:00 - Last question, one minute, final question.

00:02 - Former President Trump was critical

00:03 of Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday.

00:06 What do you make of those comments

00:07 and having yourself been to Israel and met with Netanyahu,

00:10 what do you make of his leadership,

00:12 especially in this moment of crisis?

00:14 - Now is not the time to be attacking our ally.

00:17 Prime Minister Netanyahu is somebody

00:19 that I've become friends with.

00:21 He is managing one of the most difficult situations

00:24 Israel's ever had to face.

00:27 You may have a personal vendetta or beef with him,

00:30 but is that really the time to be out there doing that

00:33 and to be attacking the Israeli defense minister?

00:35 I don't think so.

00:36 So we're standing behind Israel.

00:40 We want them to be able to defend themselves

00:42 and we want them to be successful in this conflict,

00:45 but you're not gonna find me throwing verbal grenades

00:49 at the Israeli leadership.

00:51 It's easy to kind of do that.

00:53 You can always second-guess people,

00:55 but that's not what we need now.

00:56 What we need is to come together

00:58 and we need to win a victory.

00:59 We need Israel to win the victory

01:02 and we will be supporting their right to do so.
