00:34during the Carter presidency.

00:41This accord, while sometimes warmer and sometimes chillier, this accord has saved untold thousands

00:49of lives.

00:50From the signing of that accord, there were no more wars and no more killing on the Israeli-Egyptian

00:56border, which had been one of the worst, one of the most bloody since the establishment

01:01of the state of Israel.

01:03And so we're talking right now about risks, certainly risks to the hostages, risks to

01:09the social fabric of the state of Israel, risks to Gazans.
