- [Chris] Just thispast week a Saudi prince

unexpectedly blasted Israelduring a security conference

in Bahrain in a session ironically titled

New Security Partnershipsin the Middle East.

- They profess that they want

to be friends with Saudi Arabia

and yet all Israeligovernments are the last

of the Western colonizingpowers of the Middle East.

From the time of the Balfour Declaration,

they have forcibly evicted the habitats

of Palestine after the 1948 war.

- [Chris] Israeli ForeignMinister Gabi Ashkenazi spoke

by video after the prince.

- I would like to expressmy regret on the comments

of the Saudi representative,the foreign minister.

I don't believe thatthey reflect the spirit

and the changes takingplace in the Middle East.

- The real question then is does that say

that the whole kingdom of

Saudi Arabia has an attitude problem?

Or does it say that thisguy has an attitude problem?

- [Chris] Former IsraeliUN Ambassador Dore Gold

also attended that conference

witnessing the prince's accusations.

- I think he was being usedby the highest authorities

in Saudi Arabia to put somedistance between us and them.

- [Chris] Gold tells CBN News the attitude

toward Israelis appeared verywarm except for the prince.

Gold believes SaudiArabia could still come

around mainly becausethey have a common enemy.

- I think it's the Iranianfactor which gave birth

to the Israeli-Arab peaceprocess as we know it today.

- [Chris] Danny Danonanother former UN ambassador,

tells CBN News he believesthe Saudis will eventually

join the Abraham Accords.

- They are the most importantones for the region,

for Israel, and they understand that once

they will normalize therelations with Israel,

we will see much morestability in the region.

And it will be a major force

to block the hostility coming from Iran.

- [Chris] Gold points toWashington as being the major part

of this puzzle and what happens next.

- If they hear from Washington,

"We like the Abraham Accords.

We want more treaties betweenIsrael and its neighbors,"

Great.

- [Chris] Gold says whilethe Trump administration

has improved that connection

between Saudi Arabia and Israel,

which led to opening itsairspace to Israeli planes,

it could all change if aBiden administration were

to take a different approach.

- If on the other hand theydon't acknowledge that,

they say, "No, you wantto improve the Middle East

environment, give thePalestinians more money,

and make the Palestiniansthe center of everything,"

that will not move us very far along.

- [Chris] Chris Mitchell,CBN News, Jerusalem.

- Thanks, Chris.

Gordon, how much doesthe prince's comments

pour cold water on thewarming relations with Israel?

- Well, I hope it doesn'tpour any cold water

because factually it's just wrong.

What he said is not the historical record.

Here's the historical record.

The League of Nations got together

because they won World War I.

In winning World War I, theOttoman empire was dissolved.

And so countries were created.

Iraq was created.

Saudi Arabia was created.

Syria, Lebanon, and thePalestinians were put

into a special British mandate.

In that mandate, the League of Nations

at the San Remo Conference said,

"We need to establish a Jewishhomeland and a Jewish state

in the former lands ownedby the Ottoman empire."

And that was the whole purposeof the British mandate.

The Palestinians, it's amistake to call them that

because they didn't evencall themselves that

way back in the 1920s, they were Arabs.

They were ethnic Arabswho have been brought

in by the Ottomans to work their land.

And they didn't own theland, the Ottomans did.

So they've steadfastlyresisted a Jewish state

and did so for purereasons of antisemitism.

To say that they were forcibly

evicted is again a historical lie.

When the Israeli statewas announced in 1948,

the Arab nations surrounding Israel

all declared war against her and they said

to the Arab inhabitants,"Please evacuate because

we don't want you to bea casualty in the war.

When we win the war, you can move back."

So to say it's a forcibleeviction is, again,

it's not part of thehistorical record at all.

I'm really getting tiredof the revisionist history.

We also see the same revisionist history

in President Obama's memoirs

where he's talking abouta British occupation.

There wasn't a British occupation at all.

This was all establishedby international law.

It was all establishedby the League of Nations

and the UN specifically,when it was formed

after another world war, World War II,

it adopted all of the policiesof the League of Nations.

So this is established international law.

Israel has a right toexist and it's high time

for all the neighboring statesto recognize that right.

Now, we've got something that's happened

under the current administration,

under the Trump administration.

It's a radical move.

We're no longer going to focus solely

on the Palestinian problem.

We're going to go around it

and we're going to establish peace

with each individual stateand create a new block

and a new alliance within the Middle East.

It's an absolute brilliant stroke.

Under Secretary of State John Kerry,

he said, "No, you can't do that.

You can't have individual peace.

You have to first solvethe Palestinian problem."

Well, when you look at the world that way,

you end up with an unsolvable problem

because the Palestinians neverwant to solve the problem.

They don't want a two-state solution.

They do not want peace.

And this has been the realityfor a hundred years now.

Let's wake up to the reality.

They want it to drive Israel into the sea.

They teach their children that.

They reward people who kill Jews.

They reward them based onthe severity of the sentence

that they receive inIsrael for acts of terror.

When you look at itfrom this point of view,

our foreign policy on thishas been absolutely nuts

and has been that way for decades.

It's so refreshing tofind someone that says,

"No, this isn't the way anymore."

And by all means, theAmerican taxpayers are going

to pay for this and so we're going

to stop paying the Palestinian Authority

and we're going to stop paying UNRWA.

Well, elections have consequences

and here's some consequencesthat we should be looking at.

Number one, Biden has already said

he's going to re-institute payments

to the Palestinian Authority and to UNRWA.

I find that absolutely unbelievable.

Legally, he's going tohave a problem because

of the Taylor Force Act and because

of another terrorism actthat was passed in 2018.

So he's going to facelegal challenges to this

because if any of the money goes to

those terrorists, he's got a big problem.

Here's the second problem.

He's been encouraged toreactivate the Iranian treaty

on its current levelwith no renegotiation.

I find this absolutely incredible

that we would try to bring this back up

after it's so plain that they're trying

to develop a nuclear weapon

and they were using thattreaty as a cover for it.

This is incredible.

For Iran to get a nuclearweapon is unbelievable,

completely destabilizing to the region.

And that's one of the keysto the Abraham Accords

is trying to create analliance against Iran

and Iran's aggression,which has been evident.

They launched drone attacks

against the refineries in Saudi Arabia.

They've used proxies againstour own troops in Iraq.

They have been funding Hamas

and other terror groups for decades.

They are the number one state sponsor

of terrorism in the world today.

Now here's something that just happened.

Representative Gregory Meeks,he's the incoming head chair

of the House of RepresentativesForeign Affairs Committee.

This man has real power.

He wrote a letter to Biden saying please

reinstitute the Iranian treatywithout any renegotiation.

I find it incredible that a congressman

with that kind of authority

and that kind of informationwould write that letter.

But that's what we're facing,that's what we're looking at.

I hope the Biden administration,

I hope the incoming secretary of state,

I hope they all wake up to this and say,

"A nuclear Iran is asa non-starter for us.

Let's go forward with the Abraham Accords.

Let's not make the Palestinian Authority

the deciding issue in the Middle East.

Let's create coalitions to come against

what is a quite clearlyan aggressive power

using terrorism, using drones."

If they get nuclear weapons, the game.
