Israel can bomb these countries, can attack them, can assassinate leaders.
Clearly, purely selfish.
Israel doesn't care a whit about the straight.
They don't get anything through the straight, and that's never been their concern.
So they're completely unconcerned with these alleged allies of theirs.
Arab states are not going to be signing up with Israel.
In fact, Iran is the one now saying, we need Muslim, we need Islamic solidarity here.
And I think that's going to be a more appealing situation
Look right now, when you consider the fact that the United States has discredited itself in their eyes, when you consider the fact that Israel is now a losing power in the region, not the dominant power that it was before this war, by the way.
I mean, Israel was completely in a dominant position before this war, and now they are very weak.
Who's going to be lining up to sign up with them, setting aside the hostility that most Arab and Muslim people feel toward Israel?
Look, Israel was secure because Israel is the most powerful country in the region, backed by the most powerful country in the world.
That's why Israel was secure.
You didn't need a peace agreement between two people who were never conceivably going to go to war.
You know, the UAE wasn't going to attack Israel.
The other problem, of course, and this is what we've said all along, is are we sure these dictators are going to be in charge forever?
And that maybe someday there might be, I don't know, a revolution where they get overthrown?
And then the true feelings...
of the people will be expressed, and I'm confident those two feelings are not pro-Israel.
I mean, you know, this has been an Israeli strategy.
