00:00Thank you very much. So this was really a historic thing, put it mildly. Wasn't it amazing?

00:07Look at that last meeting, when you see the heads of those countries, those are Syrians countries.

00:14But I thought it was fantastic.

00:17And seeing the so-called hostages, when those kids come back home, the way their parents just went,

00:24your father would not be that way with you. He'd be okay, but he wouldn't be like that.

00:30I would get a hug.

00:32A hug. A minor hug.

00:34Okay.

00:35That's good.

00:36No, I'm okay.

00:38So, how are you doing? Everybody okay?

00:41Very good.

00:41How are you feeling?

00:42I feel good.

00:43It's a long day.

00:46It's a long day.

00:47A couple of big ones.

00:49That first one, it's getting great reviews.

00:52There's a lot of meat in there, and dissecting it, and just playing it all night long.

00:59I think it's a very important day, because nobody thought this was possible.

01:07Something that we heard from some Israelis on the ground, they want to know how the peace

01:12holds when you are not the president.

01:15So, three years from now...

01:17I can't answer it.

01:18I know this, and you, our law witness, we go, and I get 25,000, 35,000, or if you look

01:26at a normal president, we'll get 300 people, and that's not bad, you know.

01:30We'll go to a ballroom, we'll get 300 people, we'll get 35,000.

01:34We had 117,000 people in New Jersey, and so I can't tell you what's going to happen, but

01:40I'll be out there fighting for whoever it may be.

01:43Mr. President, I wanted to ask you about your conversations with world leaders today.

01:47You said that everybody is unified over your plan, but we heard from President Sisi calling

01:54for a two-state solution in independent Palestine.

01:57You're talking about a different plan.

01:58I'm talking about something very much different.

02:01We're talking about rebuilding Gaza.

02:03I'm not talking about single-state or double-state or two-state.

02:07We're talking about rebuilding of Gaza.

02:10What's the road ahead for governing Gaza?

02:13Mr. Well, we'll have to see.

02:13I mean, a lot of people like the one-state solution, and some people like the two-state solution.

02:18We'll have to see.

02:19I haven't commented on that.

02:21How do you see bridging that gap?

02:23Because you have the Arab countries entering the world.

02:24Mr. Well, some point is right, but I think it's right, but I'd be in coordination with other

02:28states and other countries.

02:31And it used to say, I mean, some people might say if there was premature declaring peace in the

02:36whole world, at least, you know, 3,000 years of peace in the world.

02:38I mean, you want more people to be killed?

02:41What do you want another 300,000, 400,000 people to be killed?

02:45Is that what you're looking for?

02:46Mr. But in terms of the risks in Gaza, you know, we're already saying.

02:49The risks.

02:50So you mean, let them fight on for another couple of years?

02:53Let some more buildings fall down on top of people and keep it going?

02:57No, no, we did it the right way.

02:59I think our timing was perfect, actually.

03:01Mr. And in terms of those...

03:02You don't really mean that.

03:03You mean you want them to fight on, no?

03:04I'm just asking about the phase two of the negotiations and how confident you are that

03:09those can get out of the way.

03:11You know, we have a lot of power.

03:12That was a power rope.

03:14Those people, those are the richest countries, but those are really seriously rich countries

03:20and they can handle it.

03:23Bye, everybody.

03:24Thanks, President Trump.

03:24Have a good time.

03:25Thank you, everybody.
