“I think that under your leadership, Mr. President, we can forge a historic peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia,” Netanyahu tells Biden.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday met with US President Joe Biden at Intercontinental Hotel in New York City.

Ahead of the meeting, Netanyahu touched on matters of “promise” and “threats,” particularly Iran.

“I think that under your leadership, Mr. President, we can forge a historic peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia. And I think such a peace would go a long way first to advance the end of the Arab-Israeli conflict, achieve reconciliation between the Islamic world and the Jewish state, and advance a genuine peace between Israel and the Palestinians. This is something within our reach. I believe that working together we can make history and create a better future for the region and beyond,” he said.

“And also, by working together we can confront those forces that threaten that future, none more so than Iran,” Netanyahu added.

“I appreciate, Mr. President, your continuous commitment to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear weapons capability. I think that’s critical. And that shared goal of ours can be achieved by a credible military threat, crippling sanctions and supporting the brave men and women of Iran who despise that regime and who are our real partners for a better future.

“So I look forward to working with you and your team to realize the promise and confront the threat.”

“We live in uncertain times, rapidly changing times,” he added. “So I want to reassert here, before you, Mr. President, that one thing is certain and one thing will never change, and that is Israel’s commitment to democracy. We will continue to uphold the values that both our proud democracies cherish.”

“And I think that working together will realize the promise, roll back the dangers and bring a better future for our region and the world. We can make history, Mr. President. With your leadership, we can make history.”
