:06:54. > :06:56.last four American Presidents. But that, he said, means give and take.
:06:57. > :07:01.As far as settlements, I'd like to see you hold back on settlements for
:07:02. > :07:05.a little bit. We'll work something out. But I would like to see a deal
:07:06. > :07:11.being made. I think a deal will be made. As with any successful

:07:18. > :07:22.right? Both sides. But in a Middle East that is often chaotic, Binyamin
:07:23. > :07:28.Netanyahu sees opportunities. For the first time in my lifetime, and
:07:29. > :07:35.for the first time in the life of my country, Arab countries in the
:07:36. > :07:40.region do not see Israel as an enemy, but increasingly as an ally.
:07:41. > :07:46.And that's because Israel and the Arab states in the Gulf have a
:07:47. > :07:51.common enemy. It's Iran. It it is seen as a big threat in the region.

:09:58. > :10:01.asked us to be part of that. We are part of Nato, Nato is part
:10:02. > :10:05.of us and we're working together. Today, the new US Defence Secretary,

:11:19. > :11:24.General Mattis has not said what will happen if they don't. This
