00:00Mr. President, what are the expectations for Israel?
00:03Can this deal survive if Israel attacks Lebanon?
00:07It can, and, you know, I consider that the minor war.
00:11Iran's a big one, but we have that little pinprick out there
00:16that constantly rears its head, and that's Hezbollah.
00:20I'll tell you what, Israel's fighting Hezbollah too long,
00:24and too many people are being killed.
00:26And you don't have to knock down an apartment house
00:29every time you're looking for somebody,
00:31because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses,
00:33and they're not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you.
00:36And I suggested to Israel to let Syria take care of Hezbollah,
00:42because to be honest with you, I think they'd do a better job of doing it.
00:46Without us, without the United States, there would be no Israel.
00:51Without me, there would be no Israel,
00:53because no other president was willing to do what I did.
00:57I've had a great relationship with Bibi,
00:59but now Bibi has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon.
01:05Lebanon used to be a great country.
01:07It was a country where you had professors, doctors, lawyers.
01:11The great intellect was in Lebanon.
01:14Now it's just, it's terrible.
01:16I would say of all countries, they've been treated the worst,
01:20and they can't defend themselves,
01:22and they have Hezbollah, which is a problem for them.
01:26So, now I'm not happy with the way
01:30Israel has handled themselves with Lebanon and with Hezbollah.
01:35They should have been able to do the job faster.
01:37It just goes on forever.
01:40And when that happens,
01:41it throws a negative light on the big deal,
01:45and that's the deal with Iran.
01:46So, now we're going to be able to do the job faster.
01:46So, now we're going to be able to do the job faster.
01:47So, now we're going to be able to do the job faster.
01:49So, now we're going to be able to do the job faster.
01:51So, now we're going to be able to do the job faster.
01:52So, now we're going to be able to do the job faster.
01:55So, now we're going to be able to do the job faster.
01:56So, now we're going to be able to do the job faster.
01:57So, now we're going to be able to do the job faster.
01:58So, now we're going to be able to do the job faster.
01:58So, now we're going to be able to do the job faster.
