 So, Shalom, welcome Secretary of State, Anthony Tony Blinken, a good friend, long time friend and a great friend of the State of Israel. Your visit means a lot to us, and we welcome you wholeheartedly here in Jerusalem. And we congratulate you for joining this wonderful summit, which will take place today, the Nagev Summit, which will include foreign ministers from regional states that are so important to this unified front which is being built in the region, which is based on the Abraham Accords and which moves forward in peace and mutual cooperation and respect. I want to commend Foreign Minister Yair Lapid for convening this summit and wish him success in this very important gathering. We will work together to find further regional corporations and for the benefit of all peoples in the region and the benefit of peace and of course preventing any threats against Israel. As well as my own personal commitment to move forward and try to help in all relevant activities that are pushing forward together with our friends and allies in this region. I will conclude by saying, Foreign Minister, that Foreign Secretary, that we are welcoming you here not only because you are a friend, but also because the United States is Israel's most important ally and closest friend in the world. And we see you as friends and part of the family. Thank you very much. Thank you so much, Mr. President. It's wonderful to be with you. It's wonderful to be in Israel. It's wonderful to be here in this very special place and it's also an honor. To your point this evening when we head to the Negev, what is happening there is something that I think would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. And what we're seeing is normalization become the new normal for this region. And I think it's going to attract more and more countries as they see the benefits of these partnerships among so many of the leading countries in the region. The United States is very proud to be a part of that, to support the efforts to deepen the partnerships with countries that have already normalized with Israel and to help seek new partners. And to make sure that as we're working together, we're doing it in a way that of course stands up for our common security, because we face common challenges, but also finds ways to make meaningful difference in the lives of our citizens. And that's the tremendous opportunity of what is coming together in the Negev later today, the opportunity to work together, to invest together in infrastructure, in global health, in dealing with climate change, renewable energy, bringing our businesses together, bringing our people together. It's an incredibly powerful and positive vision for the future and Israel is making that real, and I applaud that. And I also have to say, Mr. President, how much we applaud the leadership of this government, including, for example, on trying to bring an end to Russia's horrific aggression against Ukraine. Prime Minister Bennett has made important efforts to see if there's a diplomatic path forward. We applaud them. We applaud the support that you're providing, including the humanitarian hospital, a field hospital that Israel has set up, that I was able to see directly by video link. Yeah, I spoke to them Friday night. Shabbat's dinner, congratulated them all. It's a wonderful thing. Yes. And of course, there is much to discuss about the relationship with the Palestinians and our support for them and the work that's being done to try to improve their lives as well. So lots to talk about. But for me, it's always especially wonderful and meaningful to be in Israel. The United States has a deep attachment to this country, to this relationship, to this partnership, to this alliance. We have a sacrosanct commitment to Israel's security. President Biden reaffirmed that again recently with the provision of a billion dollars for Iron Dome, something that has saved lives in the past. And if necessary, we'll do so in the future. And I will just say simply in concluding, it's also very meaningful to me on a personal level as well. So thank you very much. I know I will just say to all the visitors in the negative summit, Secretary of State Tony Blinken, foreign ministers of the UAE, Morocco, Bahrain and Egypt, Ahlan was Ahlan, we welcome you all to the State of Israel, Burkhim Abayim, to Israel. Thank you.
