00:00I mean, it seems to me that you're saying that you've got some very old problems,

00:04some of them dating back several decades. Old solutions for those old problems haven't worked.

00:10Donald Trump's got some new solutions, and let's see whether or not they work. Is that sort of

00:15roughly the essence? Does that sort of sum up Donald Trump's approach to some of these old

00:20problems? That is his approach, and it was his approach in the first term. Remember, the basis

00:24of the Abraham Accords was they offered the Palestinians the deal of the century. The

00:29Palestinians turned it down. An enormous offer, which would have sent billions of dollars of

00:34development aid into Gaza. The Palestinians once again turned in an opportunity for peace.

00:39Trump then went to our allies in the region and said, the Palestinians can't have a veto

00:45over proposals to stabilize and promote peace and economic security in the region.

00:51The Trump administration found nations who agree. We want to work with the

00:55Palestinians, but if they won't deal, if they simply want to obstruct, it's time to move on.
