ground as a private citizen. also a world leader. president trump making this key trip. the optics of the trip are important. one of the reasons we re showing you this picture before we bring you to the meeting with prime minister netanyahu and president trump, we expect the president to speak in a short while, is all of the package. how do we literally fit together, what is the behavior like, how does that broadcast things to the world of the future. you see a young israeli boy with a yarmulka, sitting next to the arab mother, the mother of both of those children, have the same thoughts, hope their kids get better there. and you know, we talk about real estate, as president trump began his career in for so long, where they are is entirely about real estate. there s nothing like ground
existential threat to the arab world and israel faces from iran, how that might be a powerful, shared threat that could bring the two sides together and maybe finally put together the building blocks of peace. the fact that melania trump has been literally tone and pitch perfect here in this trip so far when she touched down in saudi arabia, did not have the traditional head covering on, hi jab, but wearing a stella mccartney pant suit that a lot of women in sawed ju arabia saw similar to the garb they would bear. they really appreciated the fact she was making an effort to sort of adhere to saudi traditions while at the same time being different. she s going to be meeting with these children in the gar dan of the hadasa women s hospital. the patron of the hospital is the hadasa zionist organization of the united states, going to take time to do crafts with the

engaged. now a president who is involved, engaged, who managed to bring all of the sue any, arab and muslim leaders together in riyadh, took action in syria after chemicals were used. now you see him making a stop on his first overseas visit to the jewish state sends a clear message to the world that this president is engaged, involved, and to a large extent like he said himself, has israel s back. leland: you certainly saw prime minister netanyahu s body language so dicht than when he met with president obama. very different. real happiness with the saudi-sunni-arab alliance. we will have to have you back to talk about israel s weapons and the saudi weapons deal as well. appreciate you being here. thank you. leland: more on jerusalempost.com.
