right there, we're going to be at no formal attempts to restart that paper pace process which has been installed now for some years. there is no plan neither the palestinian authority, the palestinian sy palestinian latest more. the, as bailey side, are really in a position at the moment to restart talk. so even if job on want wanted to stop renegotiating that piece process, he probably would find himself lonely at that table. so there's definitely going to be nothing of the saw on this trip though. as i said, the administration has committed to the 2 state solution. but just how they see themselves, how they see the 2 parties getting their remains to be seen. certainly no indication. and they'll be nothing in the next few days. rebecca, how important will it be on this visit for biden to get the saudis, ah, backing in the saudi support. when it comes to the current surgeon oil prices and the problems supplies around the world. it's obviously hugely important, but it says one piece of the puzzle. i mean, as i mentioned before, there is a hope that, of course, the saudis will come to the party and it will be able to ease fuel prices at the barrel. but at the, at the pomp rather, but it's remains to be seen whether or not that's going to come fast enough. a really what saudi arabia can do to actually make, make that difference of that for many pundits saying that it won't come soon enough that the price at the price of reduction at the, at the palm have you, well it, it is a very important part of his visit to saudi arabia as he's of course, a possible future defense alliance for the region. and you mentioned it being a piece of the puzzle. i mean, it's a complicated, huge puzzle. considering the fact that aides say president biden will bring up human rights concerns while in saudi arabia. yes, said that has been a hugely criticized. he said the trip to saudi arabia because of those human rights concerns when it comes to saudi arabia. of course, joe biden had referred to saudi arabia and saudi crown prince. muhammad, been summoned as a pariah. this is obviously a 180 turn on that statement at now going to try and, and i wouldn't say cozy out, but, you know, try and smooth over some of the tensions and sorry, excuse me. i'm trying to do it. yeah. sorry. is that what we're looking at? let me, jerry hang on a you a sorry been joe biden. having landed in israel, the beginning of a 4 days of talks with israelis, palestinians, and saudis, his trip to saudi arabia, being a 1st for an american president. what i'd like to know rebecca, is if you can fill us in on how this is all being looked at back at home for abide . how do americans view this tree? it can, can you fill us in there? i'm not very popular back at home. i've been around a recent poll by the washington post suggested around 25 percent only, only 25 percent of people in the us actually really support this trip. so it's not being seen as a very popular move. but of course, that may all change if tyrone is in the last and businesses, people who rely on oil at see a reduction in those prices. people might think again about the importance of this trip. of course, many in the us also see the relationship between the united states and israel is very important here now the national us national anthem being played as say the official part of this ceremony gets underway after this ceremony been, president biden will be taken for a to or to look at some of the i, and i'm defense system that they can, that be israel. i have here as well as a new but yet not yet in functioning laser defense system. so that's going to be happening after this ceremony will be a short speech here from president biden. and then i'll head off to look at these defense systems before. he then makes his way into jerusalem town to go to the holocaust memorial to pay his respects. rebecca, her another significant part of this trip by biden's talks with abbas they'll mock the highest level of face to face contact between the united states and the palestinians. since then, president donald trump took a tough approach to the palestinians that was upon taking off his back in 2017 tensions a hi, between israel and the palestinians over various issues like the killing of palestinian american journalists to rein apple. our clay in may. i tell me about the, the juggling act that biden will be facing on this trip. it definitely is a juggling act. obviously tensions, as you mentioned are high. they're always high. and of course, any visiting us president is aware of that. no, no one more so than joe biden. as i mentioned before, jo button has reiterated. he's that support for the 2 state solution, but they'll be no talk of that on this to a now usually when us presidents come to town and meet with parents, the palestinian leader and they bring some kind of a vision or some kind of a plan that isn't the case with this visit, so it isn't really seen as a boost full mackwood abbas the israeli palestinian conflict is a relatively low priority for this administration. and it certainly seems many pundits say, many, many experts saying that, you know, it is really taking a back seat when it comes to international relations. and policy of u, the u. s. it used to be at the very full front of us, middle east policy. but now not so much the palestinians often talk about feeling abandoned when it comes to the conflict. and that they now with the warming relations between israel and other arab states don't say that they really have any support or really a foot to stand on in, in the conflict. so this of course is significant, but he's meeting with the boss. as i mentioned before, he'll also be going to east jerusalem there to visit a hospital now that significant because he is ready. health minister also asked to go along. they asked for an is ready delegation to accompany president biden. he rejected that. so that is a significant or not in favor of the palestinians, but, but in terms of the meeting with a boss, of course, he's coming with a promise of money. he's already re open the cash flow that that was stopped to the palestinians into palestinian organizations under donald trump. he's reopened a lot of that funding and he will be coming with a promise of more money ab but nothing in terms of moving towards a pace agreement. you mentioned the jerusalem declaration earlier, the palestinians have have so many demands. is sure they appreciate the resumption of ties on the bottom, but wanted to make good on pledges to reopen the u. s. consulate in jerusalem. they want us to remove the pillow from the u. s, list of terrorist organizations preserve the historic status quo in jerusalem. curb jewish settlement expansion in the west bank. there just some of the demands. and what about these jerusalem breast declaration on the u. s. israel strategic partnership? well that's obviously also a bit of a blow to the palestinians that was very much welcomed by the israeli side as you yet you mentioned that none of the things that the palestinians have been asking for, particularly the reopening of the consulate in jerusalem and being the president is not bringing promises of any of that. so obviously they are feeling left behind. they're feeling just really disappointed when it comes to what's going on. now this jerusalem declaration obviously will have a significant security benefits for israel. i'm just going to stop here and because we're gonna be seeing the president on the podium next to caretaker, will prime minister who's about to speak the president is about to speak. i'm sorry . isaac had talked, let's listen enterprises. so the president of the state of his wo, arsic earth, so we'll deliver is welcoming remarks. mister president. welcome to israel. our brother joseph, bow balise lal aquino. you'll say the people of israel welcome you to the holy land with open arms and joyous hearts. as joseph son of jacob, who sought out his brother here me, president, you are truly amongst family. like the biblical joseph. you are both the visionary and the leader committed to advancing the united states of america, the middle east, the world at large, and a state of israel. this historic visit reflect that the partnership our nations share, a partnership rooted in our shared commitment to democracy, justice and freedom, tolerance, security, and peace. the state of israel in which you have just arrived is a successful innovative nation which contributes to di corner or lum, healing the world through science and medicine, water and food technology, climate innovation. and so much more mister president, you have been a true friend yet. did emmett and staunch supporter of israel and the jewish people of our security and well being your entire life in this visit, you will discuss the security challenges emanating directly from iran at its proxies threatening israel and its neighbors and endangering our region. your 1st trip here in 1973 was just a few weeks before a terrible war broke out. to day. winds of bees saw blowing from north africa according across the mediterranean to that gov. this trip mister president, easier journey of peace from israel to saudi arabia, from the only land to the pages i hope and pray. it will help advance a regional vision of prosperity, integration, peace and security for our entire region. so dear friend bo ha, welcome to a israel and welcome home. marianna, don't we smile dome?

i've only not, but not feel it. i've got a book i underneath kabir last mean it okay. one missile by miss cl. totally. mother joseph, abide in junior ladies and gentlemen, did hon. joseph ard bite, enjoying your, the president of the united states of america. president herzog is to prime minister paid to not, or the once again stand with with friends and visit the independent jewish state of israel. president nixon was the 1st american president to visit israel 1974. i was actually my 1st visit was as you mentioned, as a young united states senator from delaware in 1973. just a few weeks before the arm kapoor war had the privilege of spending time with prime minister golda meir. i'll never forget. i was sitting next to a gentleman my right when their aids, his name was robin. i've been look back on it all now. and i realized that i had the great honor of living part, the great history of this. and i did say, i say again, you need not be a jew to be a zion. the fact is that since then i've known every single prime minister and it's been an honor form strong work relationship with each of them. and now this is my 10th visit, every chance to return to this great country, where the ancient rude to the jewish people they back to biblical times is a blessing. because the connection between the israeli people and the american people is blown deep. it's phone deep generation. after generation connection grows, we invest in each other. we dream together. we're part of what has always been the objective we both had. i've been part of that as a senator, as a vice president. and quite frankly, before that having been raised by a righteous christian. we had dinner at our table every night before he went back to work and it was a place where i had conversation and incidentally 8. and i remember he taught us all about what happened in the holocaust. why weren't the tribe tracks bomb? why do we not? why, why, why, imbued in a sense of obligation that we all have and i was president. i am proud to say that our relationship, who the state of israel is deeper and stronger in my view than it's ever been with this visit. we're strengthening our connections even further. we have reformed the unshakable commitment the anastasia security, including partnering with israel on the most cutting edge defense systems in the world. from here, i'm going straight to a briefing on israeli missiles and rocket defense capability, including the u. s. support for the iron dome and israel's new laser enable system, call the iron beam. we're going to deepen our connections in science and innovation, and work to address global challenges to the new strategic high level dialogue. on technology will continue to advance. israel's integration in the region, expand the merging forms and engagement like the new i to you to summit which will bring israel, the united states, the u. a. together. and india as well. to deepen our economic cooperation between the middle east and then up was if it greater pace, greater stability, greater connection is critical, is critical. why my ad for all the people of the region, which is why will be she will discuss my continued support. even though i know it's not in the near term, a 2 state solution that remains in my view, the best way to ensure the future of equal measure of freedom, prosperity, democracy for israelis and palestinians, is like we're going to celebrate the ending of people to people connection and enduring connection that binds our nation together, commemorate the history that we must never allow to repeat itself. letter to day, i will once more return to the hollow ground of yod chavez, the sham doner. 6000000 jewish lives were stolen in the genocide and continue which we must do every, every day. continue to bear witness to keep alive the truth and honor of the holocaust har, the holocaust honor. those we lost so that we never, ever, ever forget that lesson. you know, and to continue our share on ending work to fight the poison of anti semitism. wherever it rises as ugly head. wherever we find it in the world. we may grill on the promise of never again by taking it on. we have a full agenda over the next 2 days because the relationship between israel and the united states covers every issue that matters to our mutual futures are united in our shared values and our shared vision. i'm looking forward to our time together over the next few days the israel and the united states continue to grow and prosper together for the benefit of the entire world. i mean that for the benefit of the entire world. thank you and god bless you all molly? i voted on. mm hm. i was gone. molly, i wouldn't know what not. missy medina wash. i'm sure love in the field, so thank you. re an effort in television. you as president joe biden, having landed in israel and address leaders who referred to biden's journey of peace from israel to saudi arabia. joined down for celebratory florida. and they're all lining up for a family photo now of godsa for, but would say friends as he referred to them, early of his journey of peace that i just mentioned will be 4 days of talk with his right, these palestinians and saudis, the 1st you west president of his, at saudi arabia, al, reporter rebecca rita's is their app and korean appleton has been following proceedings. they, rebecca, could you tell us about what sort of change biden can bring about on this trip of his, his 1st as he was president. how well it's not expected that there's going to be any surprises, any major changes that they have been through this trip out. the main priority for president biden ease to sort of smooth relations between israel and its arab neighbors. namely, saudi arabia, which is where he'll be headed on friday. they're looking to smooth towards a smooth, a pos, a potential security alliance in the region, a middle east security alliance, if you will. it was already mentioned on the president donald trump, but there was no real head way. now the saudis and he has rallies, have been working at behind closed doors. sort of in the shadow is on something on, you know, close a tie for some time and a thought or hope that the district by president vine will bring that out into the open in terms of any real big changes. big announcements. people are saying that that that's just not expected on this trip. it's a tricky time for the visit, of course ahead of israeli elections in november and long overdue of palestinian elections, which have been cancelled for some time. so both parties, both sides are in a difficult position when it comes to, let's say, talking about a peace agreement. so there's going to be nothing much on the agenda there. a full service is about strengthening time between the u. s. and israel, i know you heard the president bud and speaking there, and yeah, i love had talking about the strong ties. now. president biden, this is his 10th trip to israel. he is, has a very close relationship with this country as he mentioned in his speech there. but there's going to be no major announcement. so he did again, once again, this fay today reiterates his a determination to find a 2 state solution pool. or is that the israeli palestinian conflict? but of course it sitting no plan and when it to tackling it. so he about sa, pete, israel's caretaker, prime minister, whom you just mentioned. he was talking just prior to biden and talked about this new security framework. the region, can you run us through what the world can expect from something like that? well, they had to morrow, they'll be meeting to discuss what they know been done the jerusalem declaration. now that signifies are the u. s. a commitment to make sure that iran, i will never be able to hold nuclear weapons. now that is obviously something that israel or are really looking for. that's a big boon for that. can take a prime minister lapping, who will be able to take that to an election in november. obviously, being seen with the u. s. president for these photo opportunity surveys negotiations for these close talks. strengthening relationships will also work in his favor when it comes to the election in november. i just having a look what's going on behind me. seems that the president is now gone on his way. he's got to be looking of course, as he mentioned, to the i and dime defense systems. now that's something that obviously is very proud of him that the us work together with. and they're all, he's also going to be looking at a laser beam defense system. now that something that would perhaps it's hope to may actually make part of that. any future middle east security alliance at the laser beam defense system would be able to shoot down much smaller military objects that might be coming from any enemies. namely around that is the big name here that's going to be disgusted. lot as well. the resumption of talks to or the new fear of the new p a deal with iran that something that is rollin not very keen on that will of course be to stuck discussed at length and also in saudi arabia. we heard this from israel, the officials about what they called the success story of israel. it's technology, its ability to heal the world to use that was through innovation. and what about healing riffs between the israelis and palestinians? because this triple also encompass the palestinian territories, he will la you as president joe biden is, of course meeting with the palestinian, laid him awkward about that, but there is no talk of any peace negotiations being resumed. they've been dead in the water for some years now. evidently, no talk of that. the 2 state solution is still a high priority or an agenda for president biden, but they'll be no resumption of folks in that. in the, in that respect cam at least reporter correspond rebecca written for us at bangor in apple, covering the arrival of president biden on his 1st trip as us president to the middle east for days encompassing israel palestinian territories and saudi arabia watching dw news life from berlin, i'm painful and stick with us we'll have more news thanks out. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, some people don't care about me because they don't see my beauty. some people don't care about me because they think i have nothing to give but 2000000000 people due to then i am every day at home the a food their livelihood. but day by day i do so. and so does everything i give to 1000000000 people care about me?
