the troublemakers in the region, particularly Iran, who we thought would be disadvantaged by having UAE, Saudi, Israel all together.
Israel's a nuclear power.
You have other strong economies.
Iran seeks instability.
They seek looking to create division in the region.
And if you can create that economic sphere where you have security from Haifa to Muscat, from Israel to Oman, all the way through with Saudi, Jordan, UAE, Qatar,
Egypt, that's an incredibly powerful block.
If you can make it secure and then get economic integration, that really could be a Middle East that thrives.
So Iran obviously wanted nothing to do with that, and that's why they've been working to disrupt.
So I think the administration has โ they took an incredibly stable situation with momentum.
I think they underestimated โ
the way that Iran would approach the region to undermine.
I think they gave way too much rope to Iran.
And I think that they didn't seize when they had an opportunity of strength with the Palestinians to try to drive to a conclusion that I believe could have prevented us being where we are today.
Not to mention that
Even just three weeks ago, I mean, it's a bad look that they just basically gave $6 billion to Iran in exchange for hostages.
And then Iran's basically funding these terror attacks.
They're killing American citizens in Israel.
And it's a heartbreaking situation, again, totally avoidable, and one that I think has been very badly mismanaged to date.
So I want to say one thing, Lex.
