• 0:01
  Speaker 1: We are back with a Fox News alert any moment now.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: President Trump is said to meet with Katari and UAE
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: leaders ahead of the Straight of horn MOUs fully reopening
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: this Friday.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: It all comes as Israel keeps pressure on Hezballah in Lebanon,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: saying terrorist operatives still pose an immediate threat to Israeli
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: forces in the region, but the commander in chief is
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: hopeful he can straighten all this out. She Foreign correspondent
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Trey yings back live in Tel Aviv with the latest track.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, guys, good morning. As President Trump attends the
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: G seven, the world is waiting for the detailed text
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: of the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Senior US officials said yesterday on a briefing that in
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: the next twenty four to forty eight hours the public
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: would get to see new insight into what is actually
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: in the agreement. One of those officials explained the deal
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: is performance based, meaning Iran wouldn't benefit from sanctions relief
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: unless they adhere to their end of the deal. This
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: means the opening of the Straight of Hormone and entering
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: into detailed discussions to dismantle their nuclear program. Overnight. Vice
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: President Jade Vance was on Hannity and explain more about
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: how the goal is to give Iran a chance to
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: integrate into the world economy.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: The agreement says they are not getting a single dime
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: of American money. That's just not what this is. What
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: the agreement does say, Sean is again, if the Iranians
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: behave and if there are sanctions relief, and if the
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Iranians are integrated into the world economy, we would invite
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: other countries, not US, but other countries to invest in
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: their country. That's fine, but only if they comply with
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: the terms of the agreement.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: We know that the agreement calls for a ceasefire on
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: all fronts, including Lebanon. US officials say Israel will be
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: allowed to respond if attacked by Iran backed Hasbalah, and
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the fight is not over.
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: We save the state of Israel from nihilation. But I
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: tell you citizens of Israel ugly, it's not over. We
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: will have to continue standing God, continue being strong, determined
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: to defend ourselves as necessary.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: With the Israelis on high alert, some here have expressed
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: distaste with the agreement where it won't adequately address Iran's
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: desire for a nuclear program. President Trump spoke upon arriving
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: at the G seven saying this about Iran's former path
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: to a nuclear weapon.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: The main thing is that I ren will not have
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: a nuclear weapon. They fully agree to that with strong
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: policing powers. And they won't have a nuclear weapon, which
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: is what it was all about, because they probably would
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: have used it if they had it. So we had
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: two big moments when they terminated the JCPOA. That was
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: the Obama deal. He brought and said Obama deal. And
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: when I terminated that, it was very point because it
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: was a road to a nuclear weapon.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: As journalists, we must continue to ask difficult questions about
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: this agreement. One of those questions is what if what
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: if the Iranians are unwilling to make those concessions at
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the negotiating table as it relates to their nuclear program.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, gosh, it's a great question and no doubt one
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that's going to come up at this G seven summit
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: today and to tomorrow. And we are waiting President Trump's
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: meeting Trey with the Amir of Qatar, could happen any
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: minute now. But when it comes to Qatar. It's a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: complicated country to dive into and think about because they
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: have been a great mediator in all of this, but
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: at the same time they were also a safe haven
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: for top Hamas leaders for a while. So how should
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: we view Qatar as a player in all of this.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the guitar has played a critical role in getting
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: this deal across the finish line. A diplomat familiar with
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the situation told Fox News the negotiating team from Qatar
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: was in Tihran ultimately when this deal was reached, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: they have acted as a backdoor intermediary for the United
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: States to work on some of the finer details. I
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: do want to give you some new information though, that
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: we're getting from Iran's foreign minister who spoke from Tehran
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: just in the last two hours, and he said this,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: as it relates to the issue of Lebanon in this agreement.
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: Perhaps man and definitely any military attack by thesignister Gien
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: against Lebanon from this point forward, as well as the
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: continued occupation of Lebanese territory from this point forward, will
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: be considered by US a relation of the memorandum of understanding.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: So this is really important because the Iranian Foreign Minister
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: says that any attack in Lebanon will be considered a
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: violation of the memorandum of understanding. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: that Yahoo last night indicated that the Israelis will continue
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: to operate against hesboalah An, a run back group that
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: is continuing to fire drones and rockets into Israel, and
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: even US officials yesterday indicated the Israelis will have the
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: ability to respond against Tesbola if their civilians come under attack,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: and so this could be a major sticking point in
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: this agreement. Once again, the Iranians are trying to tie
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the situation in Lebanon to the broader agreement with the
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: United States.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Guys, and it all begs the question will it hold?
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: What will hold?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: What happens over the course of the next week and beyond.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Trey Yanks, thank you.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Let's bring in former Deputy National Security Advisor and Heritage
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Foundation a vice president of National Security Victoria coachs Tragus
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: gave a tremendous backdrop on all the facts and what
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: is happening in the interplay behind the scenes. But President
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Trump is at the G seven today, He's got a
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Selvice deal to his fellow leaders there, What does he
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: do to sell this? How should he sell the Iran
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: deal to the G seven?
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: Good to see you, Todd and Carly. I mean, I
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: think it's very rich to have the Iranian Foreign minister
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: talking about Lebanese sovereignty when that's exactly what Iran is
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: violating right now. On is a sovereign country indeed, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: they are trying to get reached a deal with Israel,
• 6:05
  Speaker 8: which Iran is trying to disrupt, and so they are
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: just being utterly illogical here and how they're approaching Lebanon.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: So that is a huge problem I think going forward
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: now in terms of selling the deal, I mean, I
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: don't think President Trump needs to do much. The Europeans
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: and the Japanese who are present at this G seven
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: are all pretty desperate to get the Strait of Remotes open.
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: That's much more important to them than it is to us.
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: So I think they are all very very happy that
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: we've reached this kind of a deal that they're going
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: to start to get the free flows of energy out
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: of the Gulf on which they depend, and so I
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: don't think he's going to have to sell it very much.
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: I think They're just going to need to get to
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: the point where we hopefully the Europeans and the Japanese
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: can support this thing and encourage the Iranians to be
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: reasonable and implement it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Victoria going back to Lebanon for a minute,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: because there is this effort by Secretary of State Marco
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Rubio to get the Israelis and Lebanese governments normally ties,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: which would ultimately disarm Hesbela.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: That would be the goal.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: But when you hear the Iranian Foreign Minister say something
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: like any attack in Lebanon would be a violation of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the memorandum of understanding, and then you have Israel saying
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: we are not gonna you know, we're not going to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: give up our ground in Lebanon. We're not going to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: remove troops. We're going to keep going if we are attacked,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and the President also acknowledging that that is the realistic
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: thing that would need to happen. What does the Lebanon
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: element and the Hesbela element mean going forward when it
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: comes to this overall memorandum, Well, I think the.
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: Burden is going to have to be on the Iranians,
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: Karl to help rein in Hesbelah, because I mean Hesbla
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: is firing thousands of drones and rockets at Israel. So
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: this is an Israel attacking Hesbela. This is Hezela attacking
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: Israel and Israel responding. So if Iran doesn't want Hazebla
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: to be attacked, they have to have them stop firing
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: at Israel. I mean, that is just It's a very
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: simple equation, but they don't seem to be grasping it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: And you know, I think it is very important though
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: as we look at that area to think about how
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: isolated Hesbela now is. You know, we no longer have
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: that land bridge that Iran was using in the form
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: of Syria to get material and money into Lebanon to
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: finance and supply Hesbelah. That's gone. Syria is now the
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: enemy of Iran. And then you also have I wouldn't
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: call it a strong government of Lebanon, but at least
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: you know something that's in Beirut that wants to deal
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: with Israel, that wants to come to an arrangement with
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: the Jewish State get to a place of peace. The
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: heir attendant in that is Hesbela. So you know, that
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: isolation of Hesbelah is new, it is an opportunity. So
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: I think Israel needs to be able to defend itself.
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: Obviously the President has said that that is their clear
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: right and do what they need to do to control Hesbela.
• 8:53
  Speaker 8: But as I said up top, you know that burden
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: has to be on Iran as well if they actually
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: want there to be some kind of peaceful resilent all to.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: This, all this with the G seven in the background
• 9:04
