- 0:36Speaker 1: Department correspondent Tom Bateman was on Air Force one and
- 0:40Speaker 1: got to question mister Trump when he came to speak
- 0:42Speaker 1: to the media on board.
- 0:45Speaker 2: President, I wanted to ask you about your conversations with
- 0:48Speaker 2: world leaders today. You said that everybody is unified over
- 0:51Speaker 2: your plan, but we heard from President CC calling for
- 0:56Speaker 2: a two state solution at independent Palestinian state.
- 1:00Speaker 3: I'm talking about something very much Therefore, we're talking about
- 1:03Speaker 3: rebuilding Gaza. I'm not talking about single state or double
- 1:07Speaker 3: state or two state. We're talking about the rebuilding of.
- 1:11Speaker 2: Gaza ahead for governing gz up because.
- 1:15Speaker 3: A lot of people like the one state solution, some
- 1:18Speaker 3: people like the two state solutions. We'll have to see
- 1:20Speaker 3: I haven't. I haven't commented on that.
- 1:23Speaker 2: How do you see bridge knock count because you have
- 1:25Speaker 2: the our countries being very clear, I.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Think is right. But i'd be in coordination with other
- 1:30Speaker 3: states and other other countries.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Part I mean, some people won't say. I feels a
- 1:35Speaker 2: premature declaring peace for the whole Middle East.
- 1:38Speaker 3: And you know three thousand years a piece, and so
- 1:41Speaker 3: you want more people to be killed? What do you
- 1:43Speaker 3: want another three four hundred thousand people to be killed?
- 1:46Speaker 3: Is that what you're looking for?
- 1:47Speaker 2: And it's of the risks and gauze you know already
- 1:50Speaker 2: seeing functions.
- 1:51Speaker 3: So you've been let them fight on for another couple
- 1:54Speaker 3: of years and let some more buildings fall down on
- 1:56Speaker 3: top of people and keep it going. No, No, we
- 1:59Speaker 3: did it the right way. We did it. I think
- 2:01Speaker 3: our timing was perfect. Actually, you know really mean that,
- 2:04Speaker 3: you mean you want them to fight on, right.
- 2:06Speaker 2: I'm just asking about the phase two of the negotiations
- 2:09Speaker 2: and how confident you are that those can get underway
- 2:12Speaker 2: in the two.
- 2:12Speaker 3: You know, we have a lot of power. That was
- 2:14Speaker 3: a power room. Those people. Those are the richest countries
- 2:18Speaker 3: I think now with Daris, I think we're the richest
- 2:20Speaker 3: country in the world. Actually the United States. We're taking
- 2:23Speaker 3: in hundreds of billions of dollars. But those are, you know,
- 2:27Speaker 3: really seriously rich countries, and they can handle it.
- 2:33Speaker 1: The questions they're coming from. The BBC's State Department correspondent
- 2:36Speaker 1: Tom Bateman on board Air Force One with President Trump.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Well.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Yesterday summit in Egypt brought together international leaders to discuss
- 2:44Speaker 1: the next phase. Alongside Sakir, Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and others
- 2:50Speaker 1: was King Abdullah of Jordan. His country borders Israel and
- 2:54Speaker 1: the occupied West Bank. Speaking before the summit took place,
- 2:58Speaker 1: the king sat down with Fergal Keen and warned that
- 3:00Speaker 1: the Middle East is doomed unless there is a peace
- 3:03Speaker 1: process that leads to a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
- 3:10Speaker 4: And so these these guys are the descendants of those
- 3:12Speaker 4: who King Abdullah is the longest serving leader in the region,
- 3:17Speaker 4: sharing a border with Israel and with Palestinians making up
- 3:20Speaker 4: more than fifty percent of his country's population. So your majesty,
- 3:25Speaker 4: you are a lasting peace is a personal and a
- 3:29Speaker 4: national imperative.
- 3:32Speaker 5: If we don't solve this problem, we're going to be
- 3:35Speaker 5: at it again. So in my view, two state solution
- 3:38Speaker 5: is the only way forward. If we don't find a
- 3:39Speaker 5: future for Israelis and Palestinians and a relationship between the
- 3:43Speaker 5: urban Muslim world and Israel, we're doomed.
- 3:48Speaker 4: So much is unresolved, the physical recovery, let alone the
- 3:52Speaker 4: mental trauma left by war. Who will really run the
- 3:56Speaker 4: Daza strip in a political landscape of void of trust?
- 4:02Speaker 4: Do you trust Amas when they say they accept not
- 4:05Speaker 4: being part of the political future.
- 4:06Speaker 5: Well, I don't know them, but those that are working
- 4:09Speaker 5: extremely close to them at that in Egypt feel very,
- 4:13Speaker 5: very optimistic that they will abide by that.
- 4:16Speaker 4: Is it possible with Prime Minister Natan Yahoo and the
- 4:21Speaker 4: right wing coalition in power to have a lasting peace.
- 4:26Speaker 5: From my experiences now, most nations, when they look at
- 4:31Speaker 5: strategic challenges, look at what is the endgame. I believe
- 4:35Speaker 5: that this Prime minister and his group, their strategic game
- 4:41Speaker 5: is perpetual conflict. By perpetual conflict, they stay in power.
- 4:46Speaker 5: But there are those in Israel that believe in inclusion,
- 4:51Speaker 5: that want to change the way that this government has gone.
- 4:57Speaker 5: And these are the peace builders that I think we
- 4:59Speaker 5: can work with once there's an opportunity to do so.
- 5:02Speaker 6: By his excellency, Benjamin.
- 5:05Speaker 4: Yaho, Israel's Prime Minister, has pledged there'll be no Palestinian state.
- 5:11Speaker 6: In fact, they effectively had a Palestinian state in Gaza.
- 5:17Speaker 6: So what did they do with that state? Peace for existence? No,
- 5:22Speaker 6: they attacked us time and time again.
- 5:27Speaker 4: The King says it's vital President Trump stays engaged with
- 5:30Speaker 4: the process.
- 5:32Speaker 5: I think it's important that him and his administration do
- 5:34Speaker 5: because the devils is in the detail. So we are
- 5:37Speaker 5: dealing with phase one at the moment where it could
- 5:40Speaker 5: go awry. It would be as we get into the
- 5:43Speaker 5: technical issues of phase two, and then is that an
- 5:46Speaker 5: opportunity for mischief. I believe the President understands this, and
- 5:50Speaker 5: it's the responsibility to all of us in reaching to
- 5:53Speaker 5: make sure that the President gets us across the finish line.
- 5:56Speaker 4: Why is history does not encourage hope, but the King
- 6:01Speaker 4: does believe. This is a moment of genuine possibility for
