00:00You mentioned the incoming Trump administration. Many observers are giving

00:05credit to Donald Trump and his incoming special Middle East envoy Stephen

00:09Wyckoff for putting additional pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu to ensure that

00:15this deal was signed. Do you think it could have been successful without

00:20Donald Trump taking on taking the White House in just a few days time?

00:28On one side, no, I couldn't imagine that this could be possible without the

00:34pressure from the coming administration led by President Trump because his

00:39envoy in the region Mr. Wyckoff was here for the last few days taking notice of

00:48all the details and where are the obstacles and exercising pressure

00:53especially on the Israeli government. Therefore, yes, they have a great input

00:59to reach this moment and I'm sure most of the delay for the last months was

01:05because of the reluctant, maybe complicit, Biden administration

01:14and their unlimited unwavering support for the government in Israel for the

01:20war against Palestinians.
