And, you know, one of the notions I wanted to be able to do with the firm was to be able to take money from the Gulf and then to be able to invest it in Israel to continue to build the economic links between the countries.

Again, if countries have more economic ties, I think war and fighting is less likely.

And then in addition to that, I wanted to figure out how do you bring the entrepreneurs together from both of those countries together.

So that was really the mission of what I set out to do.

So far, I've been enjoying it.

It's been a lot of fun.

I've been learning a ton.

I think we're doing very well with it.

In terms of the criticisms, I think that I've been criticized in every step of everything I've always done in my life.

And so what I would say is, this business is actually an objective metric business, right?

It's about returns.

So in three, four years from now, five years from now, see how I do.

Hopefully I'll do very well and judge me based on that.

In terms of

any of the nefarious things.

I haven't been accused of violating any laws, and I haven't violated any of the ethics rules either.

When I was in government, I every year submitted all my financials to the Office of Government Ethics.

They certified it every year, and I followed every rule and every law possible.

So to my critics, I'll say,

criticize me before, you'll criticize me now.
