aspects of our attitude towards iran, what would it be? i would take the iranians on and take them on aggressively, particularly in syria. also do it in iraq. they ll continue the support to hamas and hezbollah. mike, let me give you a metaphor for the circumstance. we re going all of this now. right? and for the first time in years we have gapped our carrier coverage in the persian gulf. that s almost inconceivable. what does that mean? it means we don t have an aircraft carrier anywhere in the region. why? great. thank you for asking. because the defense budget is where it is. and so one of the things i suggest, if you re going to do this you were unof the unavoidable costs of doing this, make the d.o.d. budget right and healthy again so we have the military power to push back against the iranians and double down on not just israel irs but arabs. a claes call for me. i give the israelis the m.o.m.
that refuses to do that, that says, you know, we as israel irs, as a jewish state, have no right to exist, not in any borders. the majority of palestinians, at least i hope, have a different view. they re ready to engage with israel for peace. it s difficult on days like today because of all the tensions, but if the family of one of the three israeli teens who was murdered can stand up and say that, they re against vigilante violence, that they re against all murder and condemning the murder of the palestinian, i think palestinians also can stand up and overcome the emotion of the moment and say, how do we solve this problem? let me ask you the question that diana put forward saying so many people talk be a the right for israel to exist and israeli safety, but who is going to guarantee the rights and safety of the palestinians? israel remains ready for peace with the palestinians, for two states, two for two peoples. my prime minister has been clear over the last five, six years sa
