00:00Representative Tenney, as you see this close coordination between Israel, the United States, the two militaries, what are your thoughts
00:08on that relationship?
00:09Yeah, obviously, it's been a tremendous relationship between the U.S. and Israel, and Israel has incredible resources and innovation,
00:16in spite of being in a very difficult country under siege. But I think that's probably why they have such
00:22incredible resources, because they are so small and so surrounded by unfriendly neighbors, mostly, actually, you know, proxied by Iranian
00:33assets, funded by Iranian dirty oil, sold to China and others.
00:38And so they've been able to, you know, wreak havoc on their region. And I just think it's incredible that,
00:45you know, the relationship we have with Israel on intelligence, obviously, the work that they've done, you know, they're actually,
00:52I mean, just the intel that they have and their ability from whether it was the pagers situation from a
01:00couple of years ago till now, it's really incredible the way that the Israelis are able to really know who
01:04their enemies are,
01:05and to really put together an incredible intel portfolio that we can do what we're able to do and support
01:12them in this mission.
01:13But I think, you know, Israel has a, we can learn a lot from Israel in terms of the future.
01:20And I think that the ability and the desire for so many of these countries to be part of an
01:26Abraham Accord type situation, even the Arab sheikhs in Hebron would like to have some kind of recognition.
01:32They actually wrote an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal last year about their interest in getting away
01:37from the Palestinian Authority and joining, you know, the future with prosperity, with, you know, self-determination at this point.
