 This camaraderie, this warmth, this positivity, certainly a very important moment in terms of the optics, that relationship between Israel and the United States, the two presidents standing side-by-side. Let's take a listen, then with his hand on the shoulder, into the presidential residence. The optics are clear, they are about, the President Joe Biden is about to sign the guest book with me, Mark Schulman. A very important moment, look at the optics here, the message is very clear. True warmth, I mean, President Biden is an empathetic person to begin with, but you can see his warmth, his warmth just for the children, it wasn't made up, it wasn't a politician smiling while thinking whatever he's thinking. And of course there's true warmth between him and President Herzog, I imagine they go back many years, I mean President Herzog is a child of a diplomat, grew up in the States for many years, and there's a long connection, I'm sure, between them. And mutual appreciation, and clearly there's a warmth here that I don't think has existed, looking back at all the presidents of the United States who've been here over the years, I can't think of a warmth that has existed to this extent, maybe with Clinton, the way President Clinton, it was that warmth, because again, he's that sort of politician, a warm guy, and he also had that special relationship with Prime Minister Rabin. The exception of Clinton over all the years, certainly not with the, I mean the Bushes got along well, but it wasn't the warmth, certainly, of course, when President Nixon was here, President Ford, I don't think ever made it here, Reagan, and it was a Hollywood warmth, but not this real deep warmth that seems to exist. And that feels good, I mean, whether it's worth anything, it's another story altogether, although I think what Biden said about, you know, the United States will be the last meaning, we'll never be the one to leave. And I think that's also important, although the relationship has changed a great deal, and that's worth talking about. The fact is that the United States is probably getting more from Israel than Israel's getting from the United States these days, that's a whole technology saying that, and I think is not understood enough about these new accords, is it's Israeli technology that's driving so much of what's going on right now, but that's a separate story. But this warmth, it's nice, it feels good, you know, there's no ways about it as an Israeli born in America, it's a good feeling, you know? I mean, we don't have to worry about your identity for at least a few moments. Right, and it's so interesting because we heard President Joe Biden saying that this is actually his 10th visit to the region. It's obviously his first as president, and we're watching live images on your screen right now. President Joe Biden signing the guest book next to him, Isaac Herzog, the president of Israel. They are in front of their respective flags. A red carpet ceremony is about to start. Let's find out what the atmosphere is like in Jerusalem right now. We cross to our senior correspondent Bianca Zanini. She is outside the president's residence in Jerusalem. So Bianca, we are watching the signing of the guest book right now. We saw the flags, we saw the children describe for us what is happening right now in Jerusalem. What are you seeing? What are you hearing? Right, certainly a busy day for US President Joe Biden. And here in Jerusalem, the excitement is thick in the air. Here at the president's residence just about 10 minutes ago or so, President Biden arrived by cars. There have been horses. And it's clear that security is here in a massive shape and form. We spoke to one of the representatives from the security personnel here who said that they've been working on this for so long. And it is one of the biggest and most comprehensive operations of security that the Israeli police has undergone and undertaken in months. Now we know that inside the staff has also been preparing for this ceremony, which is really quite a special moment. Again, another sign of the close relationship between the American people, the American country, and the Israelis. And of course, as well as of the personal relationship that US President Biden has created and cultivated with Israel and various Israeli leaders throughout the time. Israeli President Herzog is going to be awarding President Biden with a medal of honor, which is also the highest honor that an Israeli president can bestow. Yet another sign of this close relationship. Thank you, Bianca. Let's take a listen. She's been grabbed by my grandfather in Iraq, so I also think. Looking inside Bianca and we are seeing the warm exchanges, the fist pumps, and certainly a very positive exchange between the two presidents, echoing the sentiments we heard earlier from the Israeli Prime Minister, the interim Prime Minister and the US President about the relationship. Talk to us about the message and we've heard on this day between the leaders of these two allies. Well, it's been very clear from the beginning the Biden administration has reiterated time and again that this visit is about the relationship. The visit to Israel in particular is about the warm relationship that the two countries have had for such a long time. And again, the special bond that the US President right now shares with Israel. Again, this is the 10th time he visits Israel, the first time as a president. Of course, it is quite an honor to receive him here for the president here, to give this medal of honor to him to show this. And earlier today, of course, the focus was more on politics. I mean, they signed the declaration, which is basically a statement of bipartisanship, of cooperation, of commitments. The US, again, committing to ensuring the safety and security of Israel, signing that they will never allow Iran, for instance, they will never allow Iran to obtain and acquire nuclear weapons. They also found common language to describe the war that we're seeing right now happening in Ukraine. And as we know, Israel has been quite differently active. Let's put it that way. Then the US, when it comes to this, Israel has taken a much more passive stance when it comes to not joining sanctions against Russia, when it comes to not giving military aid to Ukraine. But they found a common language on this as well. And when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian cause, also the two leaders agreed to continue to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the solution. And only Biden came out and said that he was in support of continuing supporting the two-state solution. And after the signing of this declaration, both parties came out and spoke. President Lapid said that Iran, again, on the table, several repetitive messages. But again, this is one of the most important things for the Israelis, the cooperation against Iran. And he said that Iran will not stop unless there are military threats on the table, whereas US President Joe Biden came out and said afterwards that he still believes that diplomacy is the way to go here on this one. So slight disagreement there, but again, the message, and I have to state this repeatedly, Benita, is that the two countries really want to underline the bipartisanship, the friendship, and the strong bonds between them. As President Joe Biden said, like it or not, quote, unquote, we are with you. There is no way out. Your security is critical. Senior correspondent Bianca Zanini, live from Jerusalem. Thank you so much for that update. We'll be coming back to Bianca in the coming hours. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden wraps up this historic trip to the Middle East with that visit to Saudi Arabia. Our correspondent, Pia Stekelbach, has more on what is expected from those meetings with the leaders of the kingdom. And it's neighboring states. Let's take a listen. Traveling to Saudi Arabia while turning 180 degrees. In 2018, US President Joe Biden regarded Saudi Arabia pariahs.
