“So great for Israel,” he declared. “So great for Muslims, for the Arab countries, and so great for this country, the United States of America, that we can be involved in making a deal like this happen. You know, for years, they talked about peace in the Middle East. You know, this is more than Gaza; this is peace in the Middle East.”
The president talked about what is coming, as he explained, “You’ll see Gaza being rebuilt. We’re forming a council, a ‘council of peace’ we think it’s going to be called, and it’s going to be very powerful. And I think to a large extent, it’s going to have to do with the whole Gaza situation and people are going to be taken care of. It’s going to be a different world. I think the Middle East came together. Amazingly, they came together.”
