00:00After we see Marco Rubio go to Israel and not really condemning these attacks as strongly as many people would have liked,
00:09it basically shows the Gulf nations a reality check that the U.S. isn't going to come to their rescue when there is a strike by Israel on Hamas delegation.
00:20And the fact that they have deep pockets and they're prepared to invest in the U.S.
00:25But the U.S., the reality check is we're standing by Israel and we're in it for the long run.
00:30But I think that message the Arab states and the Gulf states do understand beforehand.
00:37Let's not forget that at the time when the Houthis targeted the Aramco facility in Saudi Arabia directly, obviously prompted by Iran,
00:49no, the Americans didn't come to the rescue and there were no American actions taken to ensure such actions will not happen again.
01:03And their Gulf allies, in that case was Saudi Arabia, will not be targeted again.
01:08So I think the Arab states are very well aware of this and this is why the statement that came out of the summit also carried a very strong signal.
01:17Just like your guest was saying, Rubio's visit to Israel first does send a strong signal.
01:24Yet the statement also that comes out of the Arab summit sends a strong signal saying that if Israel does not stop its actions in the region,
01:34not just targeting these countries but talking about its actions inside Gaza,
01:39this is going to threaten any peace agreements that have been signed between the Arab states and the Israelis or anything that might come.
01:51And here we're not talking just about the Arab Accords, the Abraham Accords.
01:54We're talking about also the Wadi Arab peace treaty with Jordan.
01:58We're talking possibly about also the Camp David peace or agreement with Egypt as well.
02:07So there's a lot at stake for the Americans or at least personally for Donald Trump, as Jono said before.
02:14The Abraham Accords to President Trump is probably his ticket to the Nobel Prize.
02:21The Abraham Accords to President Trump is the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the United States of the
