  Speaker 1: is likely to accept assistance from Israel in its fight
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Trump also expressed confidence
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: that efforts to bring the kingdom into the Abraham Accords
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: could be revived, telling reporters, Yes, I think so, when
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: asked if Saudi Arabia should accept Israel's help. He added,

• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the Abraham Accords, which he called one of our greatest achievements,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: are back on the table, perhaps now more than ever.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: He also mentioned that Saudi Arabia is very happy to

  Speaker 1: Obama publicly criticised Israeli land policy during a speaking engagement

  Speaker 1: are accounted for, they reportedly form a solid parliamentary majority
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of approximately 67 seats in the 120-member Knesset, a figure
