It's still there today and people feel it.

If you talk to folks on the ground, especially the younger folks, when you talk to them, they want this as badly as anyone else in the world.

So yes, I do think it will be a catalyst, if you will, for perhaps some new conversations that are an extension of the Abraham Accords.

I do think you will see economic deals come together that will drive a lot of these conversations as well.

They all understand that this is important to their economic future as well.

It's not just a national security question here.

It is really about the growing economies.

If you look at what's happened over the last few years with the production of energy, not just oil and gas, but nuclear power, for instance, in UAE, the development of data centers, the development of AI, all of these opportunities are available to the people of the Middle East as well, and they want to take advantage of them.

And these are very talented, very capable people.

We want them to be a part of that conversation.

So it's an exciting day in that regard as well.

Oh, yeah, no, look, it does.

I'll go back to what I said earlier.
