Speaker 1: Is the gold reform it.
0:16
Speaker 2: Well, thanks for joining us on the Bolt Reporters. We
0:18
Speaker 2: continue our rolling coverage of what is a momentous day,
0:21
Speaker 2: not just in Israel, but for the entire world. We've
0:25
Speaker 2: just received confirmation that all twenty living hostages have now
0:29
Speaker 2: been released. There was first seven hostages released into the
0:33
Speaker 2: care of the Red Cross before they were transferred to
0:36
Speaker 2: the IDF to be reunited with their families, and just
0:40
Speaker 2: in the last few minutes we've received word that the
0:42
Speaker 2: other thirteen living hostages, making twenty in all, have now
0:46
Speaker 2: been released from.
0:47
Speaker 1: Captivity in Gaza.
0:49
Speaker 2: Donald Trump arrived in Jerusalem about ninety minutes ago, and
0:54
Speaker 2: he'll soon be speaking at the Knesset, that's the Israeli Parliament.
0:58
Speaker 2: Will bring you that speech as it happens, and as
1:00
Speaker 2: you can see on your screen, preparations being.
1:04
Speaker 1: Made there for his arrival.
1:06
Speaker 2: Before Trump speaks at the Kannesset, he's having a private
1:10
Speaker 2: meeting with hostages. He didn't want that meeting to be public.
1:13
Speaker 2: He didn't want cameras there. He wanted a private meeting
1:16
Speaker 2: with those hostages. And following that he will speak at
1:20
Speaker 2: the Kannesset. You can see Benjamin nettan Yahoo and other
1:23
Speaker 2: officials arriving there at the Israeli Parliament in preparation for
1:28
Speaker 2: that address. I'll be joined now by Victorian Liberal Party
1:32
Speaker 2: President Michael Kroger, just as they make preparations for Trump
1:36
Speaker 2: to address the Kannesset. Michael, this will be a very
1:40
Speaker 2: historic speech, President Trump, being only the fourth US president
1:44
Speaker 2: ever to address the Israeli Parliament. I think Jimmy Carter,
1:49
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush the only other US
1:53
Speaker 2: presidents ever to speak. And when Trump speaks in a
1:56
Speaker 2: few moments, He'll not just be addressing Israel, but will
1:59
Speaker 2: be addressing the entire world.
2:03
Speaker 1: Mattie sure will be.
2:04
Speaker 3: And what an extraordinary day, What a momentous day. I'm
2:10
Speaker 3: quite optimistic about the future. I think these Arab states,
2:14
Speaker 3: Pakistan and Indonesia, the other Muslim states and countries have
2:18
Speaker 3: had enough of the ongoing bloodshed brought about by Fatah,
2:25
Speaker 3: you know Hamas Islamic g had the Alexa Martyrs brigade.
2:29
Speaker 3: I think they've all just had enough of Islamic terrorism,
2:33
Speaker 3: and I think they want to turn Gaza and West
2:36
Speaker 3: Bank whatever else into you know, first world countries down
2:40
Speaker 3: the track, like qataris, like the Saudis, are like Jordan
2:44
Speaker 3: Is Egypt. I mean, I think they just want peace.
2:46
Speaker 3: I think they've had enough. So I'm optimistic James going
2:50
Speaker 3: forward for as long as Trump stays there, of course.
2:53
Speaker 3: I mean, this guy's performance is, whatever his faults, this
2:56
Speaker 3: guy's performance has.
2:57
Speaker 1: Been unbelievable, unbelievable.
3:00
Speaker 3: It's a triumph by the way of deal makers over diplomats.
3:04
Speaker 3: I mean, no diplomats and this has been going off
3:06
Speaker 3: for decades have been able to engineer this Trump has.
3:10
Speaker 3: He's a deal maker and everyone knows what I mean
3:12
Speaker 3: by that. He can twist arms and do deals with
3:16
Speaker 3: these other foreign leaders that no other American president has
3:18
Speaker 3: been able to do. And through the force of his
3:21
Speaker 3: will and those around him, this guy Witcoff's obviously very good, Kushner, etc.
3:26
Speaker 3: Marco Rubio and his relationship with the Qataris more recently
3:30
Speaker 3: with the president of Turkey, the Pakistanis, who is now
3:35
Speaker 3: close to the Egyptians. I mean, this is Trump's golden moment.
3:39
Speaker 3: This is the highlight of his of his presidency, and
3:42
Speaker 3: it will long be remembered.
3:45
Speaker 2: Well, He's certainly receiving a hero's welcome Israel. In Tel Aviv,
3:50
Speaker 2: they had billboards lighting up the streets saying thank you,
3:54
Speaker 2: mister President. On the beach of Tel Aviv was a
3:57
Speaker 2: massive sign saying thank you to the US President. And
4:00
Speaker 2: in the kanesset where Trump is about to speak, we've
4:04
Speaker 2: got pictures. I'm not sure if we'll show them right now,
4:06
Speaker 2: but we've got pictures of Maga hats being distributed to
4:09
Speaker 2: people in the public gallery. They'll be wearing those as
4:13
Speaker 2: Trump stands to speak.
4:15
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just remarkable, is it not. It's remarkable.
4:19
Speaker 3: I just hope they don'derstone know how to aud Trump
4:21
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight hats, because that would.
4:23
Speaker 1: Be a bit bit premature.
4:25
Speaker 3: But the way he's going over there, that wouldn't surprise
4:28
Speaker 3: Trump twenty Trump thirty two.
4:31
Speaker 1: No, look, this is this guy.
4:35
Speaker 3: This has been remarkable. I mean, you know what they
4:38
Speaker 3: did over Iran. I mean for twenty years we've been
4:41
Speaker 3: talking about what with consequences would be with if Iran
4:44
Speaker 3: got a nuclear warhead. What do you did with Katar
4:48
Speaker 3: after the Israelis bombed Qatar, signing a peace pact overnight
4:53
Speaker 3: with Katar, saying an attack on Qatar's attack on America
4:56
Speaker 3: like an ancestry with Qatar overnight no congressional approval, no
5:00
Speaker 3: macking around inquiries and reports and overture. He just decided, Bang,
5:05
Speaker 3: you attack Katar, you attack America full stop. That alone
5:09
Speaker 3: meant that the Arab States knew this was a guy
5:13
Speaker 3: that could be trusted to make sure that everyone kept
5:16
Speaker 3: their side of the bargain and trying to not This
5:19
Speaker 3: couldn't have happened without Donald Trump. I'm not the first
5:21
Speaker 3: to say that there's there's plenty of people who you know,
5:26
Speaker 3: are downplaying his role. Well, you just complete mugs, ignorant
5:30
Speaker 3: mugs if you think you know. But now he's after
5:33
Speaker 3: he speaks with the Kanessa. As we know, James, he's
5:35
Speaker 3: going off to Egypt, and I wouldn't want to be
5:39
Speaker 3: Emmanuel Macron or the British Prime minister and poor things
5:42
Speaker 3: turning up there. They'll be sitting at the back of
5:44
Speaker 3: the room, totally embarrassed and I don't even know why
5:46
Speaker 3: they're going.
5:47
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing.
5:48
Speaker 3: Thank goodness, our Prime minister is not.
5:50
Speaker 2: At least I was going to say, at least they're
5:53
Speaker 2: in the room. Unlike Anthony Albanezi. I should point out
5:56
Speaker 2: those hats weren't Maga hats, but they were certainly Maga's
5:59
Speaker 2: style hat proclaiming Trump as the President of Peace. We're
6:03
Speaker 2: looking at live pictures of the Kanesset. They're waiting for
6:06
Speaker 2: Donald Trump to arrive, where he'll address the Israeli Parliament.
6:10
Speaker 1: Security is absolutely tight.
6:13
Speaker 2: Even those people who have full time passes to the
6:16
Speaker 2: Kanesset reportedly had to reapply for a special entrance permit
6:21
Speaker 2: and the lines apparently were massive and huge waiting times.
6:25
Speaker 2: You can imagine security absolutely tight for Donald Trump's arrival.
6:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, interuding the other interesting.
6:35
Speaker 2: Thing, Michael were absolutely he's arriving in the Beast, which
6:39
Speaker 2: of course is his beefed up security vehicle. The other
6:43
Speaker 2: thing viewers might not be aware of is I understand
6:46
Speaker 2: At the airport, Donald Trump broke with protocol and invited
6:50
Speaker 2: Benjamin Netanyahoo and Benjamin Etya, who's wife Sarah, to join
6:55
Speaker 2: them in Trump's vehicle for the ride into Jerusalem. So
7:00
Speaker 2: that just shows the level of friendship and relationship between
7:03
Speaker 2: the US president and his Israeli counterpart.
7:07
Speaker 3: Well, this is where the deal maker comes into it.
7:10
Speaker 3: I mean, this guy's friends with net Yahoo, He's friendly
7:14
Speaker 3: with the Katari Prime minister. They're very close. He's friendly
7:19
Speaker 3: with ol Cci. He's now got a very good relation
7:23
Speaker 3: with Duwan, who we had in the White House a
7:25
Speaker 3: few weeks ago. He's very friendly with the saudiast He's
7:29
Speaker 3: fallen in love with the Pakistanis as a result of
7:31
Speaker 3: that brilliant work done by that Pakistani general who edged
7:34
Speaker 3: out the Indians as the as the American's favorite. I mean,
7:39
Speaker 3: he's friendly with all these Muslim Muslim countries. I mean,
7:42
Speaker 3: no other American president. Let me seconds relationships.
7:47
Speaker 2: Let's just let's just listen in and see what we
7:50
Speaker 2: can hear here as Trump.
8:00
Speaker 4: Yes, please, mister president.
8:12
Speaker 5: Please, okay, okay, radio, let's start with one here. Let's
8:33
Speaker 5: look here, person, then here and please.
8:41
Speaker 6: Here, let's try again.
8:54
Speaker 5: Now here please flabby.
9:00
Speaker 7: Lighthouse, that's generals.
9:05
Speaker 1: Okay, what's that?
9:08
Speaker 7: What's no pay? Yes?
9:31
Speaker 8: A yeah, yeah, amen?
9:35
Speaker 7: Today will be here.
9:45
Speaker 8: Then you wanna get you.
9:59
Speaker 7: Mister.
10:33
Speaker 2: You can see Donald Trump signing a book there saying
10:36
Speaker 2: it's a great honor, a great and beautiful day, as
10:40
Speaker 2: he prepares to address the Israeli parliament.
10:43
Speaker 1: Let me bring in Andrew Bolt.
10:45
Speaker 2: Andrew, great to have you on the program. A remarkable
10:49
Speaker 2: thing for Donald Trump, I mean, who was lampooned as
10:53
Speaker 2: a hitler, a dictator and authoritarian, a warmonger, now about
10:58
Speaker 2: to address the Israeli parliament having brought about a deal
11:01
Speaker 2: to return the remaining hostages and potentially to start a
11:06
Speaker 2: whole new chapter in the Middle East.
11:07
Speaker 1: It's just an astonishing turn of events.
11:11
Speaker 6: I think you've nailed it there. It's not just bringing
11:14
Speaker 6: back the hostages, and that alone is huge. I mean,
11:17
Speaker 6: if you see the reception Donald Trump is getting from
11:20
Speaker 6: Israel there, if you see the joy there across the board.
11:23
Speaker 6: Even NETNYO, who has Israel thinks it has won. The
11:27
Speaker 6: hostages are back. Har Mars has got nothing on it.
11:30
Speaker 6: But the other point here is that the Middle East
11:33
Speaker 6: is being remade, and that is in part due to
11:35
Speaker 6: Israeli's strength, but also the unwavering support of Donald Trump,
11:40
Speaker 6: plus it's military help in Iran to help destroy their
11:44
Speaker 6: nuclear weaponsy. There are so many moderate now Muslim countries,
11:49
Speaker 6: the UAE, for example, now Saudi Arabi you want to
11:53
Speaker 6: call them moderate, but they want to get on with
11:54
Speaker 6: business and with this out of the way, this war
11:57
Speaker 6: out of the way, they can do it and usually
12:00
Speaker 6: restore their properties with Israel. That is the future. And
12:05
Speaker 6: Donald Trump has helped to achieve it.
12:09
Speaker 2: I've got to ask you, Andrew, how optimistic are you
12:12
Speaker 2: that he can?
12:13
Speaker 1: I mean, his vision is pretty clear.
12:15
Speaker 2: There seems to be a lot of goodwill and from
12:18
Speaker 2: many Islamic countries, as you've pointed out, but so many
12:22
Speaker 2: obstacles in the way. How hopeful are you that he
12:25
Speaker 2: can indeed do what he's setting out to do?
12:29
Speaker 6: Oh, there are many obstacles in the way. Syria is unstable.
12:32
Speaker 6: I mean, it's on a somewhat encouraging track. That's unstable.
12:37
Speaker 6: Iraqa's You've got all these Iranian supported militias, they're all unstable.
12:44
Speaker 6: But this is a very definite new start for many countries.
12:49
Speaker 6: When you see that Qatar, when Israel bonded the Hamas
12:53
Speaker 6: headquarters in Qatar, kata I finally realized the game was up.
12:57
Speaker 6: It cannot play both sides against the other, you know,
13:00
Speaker 6: supporting Hamas, supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, pumping out vile anti
13:05
Speaker 6: Israeli propaganda on Al Jazeera, particularly Arabic speaking channels. It
13:10
Speaker 6: is one of the countries that put the pressure on Hamasi.
13:13
Speaker 6: You're out of friends, You've got to give in. And
13:15
Speaker 6: I also don't have much faith at the moment in
13:18
Speaker 6: the peace process in actually Gaza itself. I mean, you
13:22
Speaker 6: can see right now footage of Hamas terrorists killing their opponents,
13:27
Speaker 6: taking back control as Israelis pulled out. So that's still
13:30
Speaker 6: a festering saw and there's no army anywhere. That says
13:34
Speaker 6: to the Israelis, well, if you pull out, we'll come
13:37
Speaker 6: back here, We'll go in and we will disarm Hamas.
13:40
Speaker 6: They don't want to be targets of Hamas Terris. So
13:42
Speaker 6: I don't know how that's going to play out. But
13:44
Speaker 6: the point there is, in a way that's up to
13:49
Speaker 6: the Palestinians if they want a new future with lots
13:52
Speaker 6: of aid, or they want to just revert back to
13:55
Speaker 6: you know, there's violent type in a sense that almost
14:00
Speaker 6: doesn't matter because Israel has smashed mass It is smashed Iran,
14:05
Speaker 6: the main funder of the mass, cowed Qatar, and of
14:10
Speaker 6: course it is absolutely destroyed Hesbala, the main terrorist army
14:14
Speaker 6: that was supporting Hamas. So Israel has never been safer,
14:18
Speaker 6: even if Jews around the world have never felt they're
14:20
Speaker 6: safe themselves.
14:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, and of course it's a bit of sweet day today,
14:26
Speaker 2: isn't it. I've just received word that the bodies of
14:30
Speaker 2: the deceased hostages I think there's about twenty eight in total,
14:34
Speaker 2: will be transferred to Israeli authorities later this afternoon Jerusalem time.
14:40
Speaker 2: So it's a funny sort of day, isn't it, Andrew,
14:42
Speaker 2: Because there's great hope and optimism and celebration, but at
14:45
Speaker 2: the same time a lot of grief. And it's been
14:48
Speaker 2: two years of hell for israelis.
14:52
Speaker 6: Absolutely two years of hell. I mean, the joy of
14:55
Speaker 6: having people come back after two years is precisely because
14:58
Speaker 6: of what they've suffered for the two years in between.
15:01
Speaker 6: We can't forget that. And the body is coming back.
15:03
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just I'm trying to think of any
15:07
Speaker 6: other so called liberation movement that actually holds the bodies
15:12
Speaker 6: of the dead as bargaining chips. Yeah, we might remember
15:16
Speaker 6: at an earlier host this exchange, they did a big ceremony
15:20
Speaker 6: handing over the coffins containing a baby and essentially a
15:24
Speaker 6: toddler that actually strangled with their bare hands, kept the
15:28
Speaker 6: bodies and then swapped them for terrorists being released by Israel.
15:32
Speaker 6: I mean, I think this is a wake up to
15:35
Speaker 6: the world that the forces arraigned against the West. Right now,
15:39
Speaker 6: include a lot of barbarians. And this idea that Albinisi
15:43
Speaker 6: and France and Canada and Britain had of Oh, look,
15:47
Speaker 6: if we just appease a maas you know something, we
15:50
Speaker 6: will recognize a Palestinian state, will condemn Israel in the UN,
15:57
Speaker 6: We'll do all that kind of it, will tell Israel
15:59
Speaker 6: to pull back a bit and you know, de escalate,
16:02
Speaker 6: de escalate. That that would solve that absolute utter nonsense.
16:07
Speaker 6: I think that's the message we have to learn here.
16:09
Speaker 6: Peace is from strength, and our Prime Minister's got to
16:13
Speaker 6: recognize that, not just in terms of his treatment of Israel,
16:16
Speaker 6: but in the building up of our own army. Peace
16:19
Speaker 6: is through strength, and I hope Donald Trump realizes that
16:22
Speaker 6: with Ukraine as well.
16:26
Speaker 1: Yeah.
16:26
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Andrew, I wanted to ask you my understanding is
16:30
Speaker 2: that the twenty hostages living hostages who have been reunited
16:36
Speaker 2: with their families today, every single one of them is
16:39
Speaker 2: a male, not a single female living hostage left.
16:43
Speaker 1: What do you make of that.
16:46
Speaker 6: Well, that was a key demand of past host hostage releases,
16:52
Speaker 6: that the women went first, and the young went first,
16:55
Speaker 6: and the noncombatance went first. So that was part of
16:59
Speaker 6: the a deal. Then, so left them with these twenty
17:03
Speaker 6: twenty young men or twenty men and of various ages.
17:08
Speaker 6: The thing, you know, you've got to emphasize here, Israel
17:13
Speaker 6: is so happy in part because now Hamas has got
17:17
Speaker 6: nothing to bribe them with, nothing to hold you know,
17:21
Speaker 6: they don't have hostages. The thing there is that Israel
17:25
Speaker 6: can pull back. But now Hamas it's got to be disarmed.
17:29
Speaker 6: That's part two. They haven't agreed to that, but they've
17:32
Speaker 6: got to be disarmed. That's part two Trump's plan, peace plan,
17:36
Speaker 6: and they've got to have no part in the running
17:39
Speaker 6: of Gaza. But you can actually see on the streets
17:41
Speaker 6: they've got police back in the streets and they're shooting.
17:44
Speaker 6: You actually can see footage of them shooting their opponents.
17:47
Speaker 6: So they are back in charge. The thing here is
17:51
Speaker 6: Israel will have every excuse to go back in and
17:54
Speaker 6: next time, perhaps with the support tacit support may be
17:58
Speaker 6: of some of the former countries that will go tut
18:01
Speaker 6: tut tut to Israel. Because I don't know that I
18:06
Speaker 6: don't know there's any sympathy left in the Muslim world
18:08
Speaker 6: for leadership, at least for Hamas, and nor do I
18:11
Speaker 6: believe that they would want Hamas to take back control
18:16
Speaker 6: of Gaza, so no one else is put into the hands.
18:19
Speaker 6: You know, ALBINIZI is not saying we'll send austraining troops
18:22
Speaker 6: to disarmed Hamas. Egypt's not saying they'll send troops as
18:25
Speaker 6: Turkey isn't and that will leave it ultimately to Israel.
18:32
Speaker 1: Let me bring in.
18:33
Speaker 2: I think we've got Senator Stephen former Labor Senator Stephen
18:35
Speaker 2: Conroy with US. I wanted to ask you, Stephen, what
18:40
Speaker 2: you make of the summit that will take place later
18:43
Speaker 2: today in the Middle East. You've got the leader of Canada,
18:47
Speaker 2: the leader of the UK, You've got the leader of
18:52
Speaker 2: what was the other nation that the French president will
18:54
Speaker 2: be there. All of those leaders recognized a state of Palestine.
18:58
Speaker 2: Of course, the notable absence is our own Prime minister.
19:02
Speaker 2: Has the Albanezi government made ourselves pretty much irrelevant in
19:07
Speaker 2: this part of the world and what does that mean
19:09
Speaker 2: for our relationship with the US? I know Anthony Albaneze
19:11
Speaker 2: is on holidays, which is probably a good, pretty good
19:15
Speaker 2: place for him to be right now, so he doesn't
19:17
Speaker 2: have to be interviewed about what's happening right now in
19:20
Speaker 2: the Middle East without him.
19:24
Speaker 8: Look, fer think could I join Andrew and Michael in
19:29
Speaker 8: a wonderful day of celebration. We've got to cease fire.
19:33
Speaker 8: It's held for a few days with the return of
19:35
Speaker 8: the hostages, the bodies. This is a truly great day
19:39
Speaker 8: for the state of Israel and for those who are
19:42
Speaker 8: critical of Donald Trump, and I would include myself on
19:45
Speaker 8: that long list. He deserves congratulations and to be fated
19:51
Speaker 8: for his role in driving I think Michael and Andrew
19:55
Speaker 8: might have both said it's through force of his will,
19:57
Speaker 8: no question about that, absolutely clear. No matter what you
20:02
Speaker 8: think of Donald Trump, he deserves congratulations today. In terms
20:06
Speaker 8: of the summit, I hope that it creates the building
20:09
Speaker 8: blocks for a lasting piece. I think Michael, Andrew Greg
20:14
Speaker 8: Sheridan on Peter Credlin's show, we're all making the points
20:19
Speaker 8: that enforcing the peace, ensuring Hamas don't have ongoing control,
20:24
Speaker 8: will be a great challenge. We all hope that these
20:29
Speaker 8: building blocks that are in place can create that lasting peace.
20:33
Speaker 8: We hope that the moderate Muslim countries do make a contribution,
20:41
Speaker 8: and for it to be successful, they will need to
20:44
Speaker 8: deal with the Hamas styled terrorists in the same way
20:49
Speaker 8: they deal with them in their own countries because they
20:52
Speaker 8: don't take too many prisoners when it comes to dealing
20:57
Speaker 8: with dissidents who try to undermine their regime. So I
21:00
Speaker 8: think the sooner Hamas understand what's confronting them, supported by
21:06
Speaker 8: an overwhelming number of Muslim countries, the better. So I
21:09
Speaker 8: think it's important to send those messages very strongly that
21:13
Speaker 8: Hamas have no role. They have to disarm, they have
21:16
Speaker 8: to deliver on the rest of the peace package. In
21:19
Speaker 8: terms of that summit, as you can see a whole
21:24
Speaker 8: range of leaders that Donald Trump allegedly is angry with
21:27
Speaker 8: over recognizing they're all present, and Anthony Albanize is going
21:32
Speaker 8: to meet Donald Trump in a week or two. So
21:34
Speaker 8: I think trying to draw, you know, trying to draw
21:40
Speaker 8: issues out of whose president who's not president, is really
21:43
Speaker 8: stretching it. Everyone knows that our prime minister's meeting President Trump,
21:50
Speaker 8: and I think to try and muddy the warders around
21:52
Speaker 8: who's there and who's not there this week is just
21:55
Speaker 8: doing that, mudding the waters with no purpose.
21:59
Speaker 2: Let me go back to you for a second, Andrew Bolton.
22:01
Speaker 2: I want to focus on what's happening in Israel. It's
22:03
Speaker 2: a great momentous day, So let's not get too stuck
22:07
Speaker 2: into Anthony Albanezi. But do you agree that it's irrelevant
22:10
Speaker 2: that our prime minister is not there or should he
22:13
Speaker 2: be part of that Egyptian summit later today?
22:17
Speaker 6: No, the other European leaders that were very helpful in
22:21
Speaker 6: supporting Trump. Leaders in Finland, for instance, I think that
22:27
Speaker 6: isn't there. New Zealand isn't there, but India is. And
22:31
Speaker 6: Indonesia is right next to us, but that's a Muslim country. Indonesia.
22:37
Speaker 6: The thing here, I think when you say that Macron
22:41
Speaker 6: is there and Starmer is there, I reckon they're there
22:45
Speaker 6: because this is Donald Trump flexing. Let's not forget Donald
22:49
Speaker 6: Trump loves to show his power, which is one reason
22:52
Speaker 6: why he's been so successful here, and he would love
22:55
Speaker 6: those two guys being brought to heal right next to
22:58
Speaker 6: him having to suck it up that this is a
23:01
Speaker 6: piece deal created by him and Israel. Let's not forget
23:05
Speaker 6: Israel and not them, and they are paying court to
23:08
Speaker 6: Donald Trump. And the more great leaders of the world
23:11
Speaker 6: are around Donald Trump applauding him, the better for him,
23:15
Speaker 6: the better for American power, and the more chance we
23:17
Speaker 6: have deals like this.
23:20
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we're just showing live pictures there of the Kanesse.
23:24
Speaker 2: That's the Israeli Parliament where Donald Trump will address the
23:29
Speaker 2: crowd shortly, the fourth US president to do so, Andrew.
23:33
Speaker 2: The first US president to ever speak in the Israeli
23:36
Speaker 2: parliament was Jimmy Carter back in nineteen seventy nine when
23:39
Speaker 2: he said, and I quote, no people desire or deserve
23:43
Speaker 2: peace more than the Jewish people. That was nineteen seventy nine. Gee,
23:49
Speaker 2: it's been a long long road, hasn't it Here we
23:52
Speaker 2: are again.
23:54
Speaker 6: Oh, and hasn't finished either. And from that point, you know,
23:58
Speaker 6: we have to remember exactly how this came about. It
24:01
Speaker 6: isn't all Donald Trump. I mean, what is done by
24:05
Speaker 6: getting the hostages free is allow Israel to say we're
24:10
Speaker 6: stopping now. You know, job almost done. You know, we're
24:13
Speaker 6: out of here. Now. They don't need to keep fighting
24:16
Speaker 6: to free the hostages. That's done. Ha mass is essentially decimated.
24:22
Speaker 6: And if you look around, so many of Israel's enemies
24:27
Speaker 6: have been humiliated, defeated. It's over. It is over. And
24:32
Speaker 6: Donald Trump just came screaming over the top with this
24:35
Speaker 6: particular deal to end this phase of the war. But
24:38
Speaker 6: you know, low level conflict is still going to be there.
24:42
Speaker 6: The Islamic religion has still not had the reformation it
24:45
Speaker 6: needs to preach peace. We've seen that right here with
24:48
Speaker 6: our own Mum's Council. So that's still there. But the
24:52
Speaker 6: point is here that most of Israel's enemies have had
24:56
Speaker 6: their fangs, if not removed and filed down.
25:02
Speaker 2: Michael Kroger, the pro Palestinian protesters in western countries would
25:07
Speaker 2: be feeling a bit silly right now, wouldn't they as
25:10
Speaker 2: we watch pictures of hostages being returned to families, of
25:15
Speaker 2: preparations for a new Dawn in Gaza, Well.
25:20
Speaker 3: They would worldwide, James, they've been Hummas have been defeated.
25:26
Speaker 3: In the Great War of twenty twenty three to twenty
25:29
Speaker 3: twenty five, the Jewish Nation of Israel prevailed over Hamas
25:33
Speaker 3: and their supporters around the world. And you know, I
25:37
Speaker 3: went to that demons. I was in Sydney on the weekend.
25:39
Speaker 3: I went to that demonstration yesterday in Hyde Park for
25:42
Speaker 3: half an hour just walking around, and there are elements
25:46
Speaker 3: of that group. They're just it's Jewish hatred. I mean,
25:49
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, it's not pro Palestine. There's elements of Jewish
25:52
Speaker 3: hatred there. I mean, Queers for Palestine had a banner
25:58
Speaker 3: where they had hummas inverted triangles on it, cleverly sort
26:04
Speaker 3: of disguised, but they had banners calling for Netanyahu to
26:08
Speaker 3: be arrested f Israel. Chris Mins was supporting terrorism f Israel,
26:14
Speaker 3: you know, I mean a chance from from the River
26:17
Speaker 3: to the Sea, I mean, this is just a cesspit
26:20
Speaker 3: of Jewish hatred. And that the great Chris Kenny showed
26:24
Speaker 3: that clip before of that guy, the head of the
26:27
Speaker 3: Palestinian network in Sydney Lees, who started a sentence by saying,
26:34
Speaker 3: for as long as Israel exists, right now, we understand
26:39
Speaker 3: mister Lees, if we're in any doubt what you think,
26:42
Speaker 3: which is that Israel needs to be wiped off the map.
26:45
Speaker 3: And this is just you know, this is what these
26:47
Speaker 3: Palestinian demonstrators in large wanted, James. From the River to
26:51
Speaker 3: the Sea means the destruction of the Jewish state. Well,
26:53
Speaker 3: I've got bad news. It's not happening. It's never going
26:57
Speaker 3: to happen. The Jewish people are going to protect their
26:59
Speaker 3: state forever, their country forever, and as soon as you know,
27:03
Speaker 3: these extremist Arab groups, Palestinian groups understand that the better.
27:09
Speaker 3: So I know these demonstrators have had a shocking tea years.
27:12
Speaker 3: They've disgraced themselves, They've embarrassed their Western governments in the
27:16
Speaker 3: countries that we've just referred to, including Australia, and Penny
27:20
Speaker 3: Wog will long be remembered as the foreigners country who
27:23
Speaker 3: in October eight called on the Jewish state to exercise restraint. Well, Penny,
27:27
Speaker 3: if they'd listened to you, we wouldn't be about to
27:29
Speaker 3: watch Donald Trump speak in the Knesset today.
27:34
Speaker 2: And I think, Andrew Bolt, you wrote a wonderful column
27:37
Speaker 2: in the News Limited papers today or yesterday pointing out
27:41
Speaker 2: that very thing that if Benjamin ette Ya who had
27:45
Speaker 2: listened to our government, we wouldn't be seeing the images
27:48
Speaker 2: we're seeing today, and of course hostages wouldn't be back
27:52
Speaker 2: with their families. We're going to go into just the
27:54
Speaker 2: second Andrew, but just very quickly, any final.
27:57
Speaker 6: Thoughts, Well, I think I want to pick up in
28:02
Speaker 6: something Michael said. Yes, what it's been exposed is that
28:06
Speaker 6: so many protests hate Israel and not to see Israel.
28:08
Speaker 6: They cheered their senator Lydia Thorpe, who when she said
28:12
Speaker 6: should burn Parliament to our Parliament to the ground to
28:15
Speaker 6: get things done. I think there's a current of hatred
28:18
Speaker 6: for the West and Israel that we have to tackle
28:21
Speaker 6: right here.
28:25
Speaker 1: Very well said.
28:25
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Michael Kroger, thank you Stephen Conroy, and
28:29
Speaker 2: thank you Andrew Bolt.
28:30
Speaker 1: Great to have all of you with me tonight.
28:32
Speaker 2: And Andrew, We're wishing you all the best as you
28:34
Speaker 2: continue your recovery. It's great to see you this evening.
28:38
Speaker 2: If you want to watch President Trump's speech to the Knesset,
28:42
