00:00I'm leaving this morning on a very important trip to the United States
00:04at a time when Israel is fighting on seven fronts
00:08and when there's great political uncertainty in Washington.
00:12I will address for the fourth time both houses of Congress
00:17as the Prime Minister of Israel.
00:19I will seek to anchor the bipartisan support that is so important for Israel
00:24and I will tell my friends on both sides of the aisle
00:27that regardless who the American people choose as their next president
00:31Israel remains America's indispensable and strong ally in the Middle East.
00:38I plan to see President Biden, whom I've known for over 40 years
00:42this will be an opportunity to thank him for the things he did for Israel in the war
00:47and during his long and distinguished career in public service
00:51as senator, vice president and as president.
00:53There will also be an opportunity to discuss with him
00:57how to advance in the critical months ahead
01:00the goals that are important for both our countries
01:03achieving the release of all our hostages
01:05defeating Hamas
01:07confronting the terror axis of Iran and its proxies
01:10and ensuring that all Israel's citizens
01:12return safely to their homes in the north and in the south.
