RUSH TRANSCRIPT CAPEHART So ░░░░░░░░ since I started I ░░░░░░░░ intently on President Carter ░░░░░░░░ international legacy I m ░░░░░░░░ to begin with you ░░░░░░░░ this connection between this ░░░░░░░░ David Accords and what ░░░░░░░░ believed to about to ░░░░░░░░ between Israel and Saudi ░░░░░░░░ you put that connection ░░░░░░░░ me just over the ░░░░░░░░ Talk about how the ░░░░░░░░ David Accords was the ░░░░░░░░ for what could have ░░░░░░░░ with Saudi Arabia BASH ░░░░░░░░ President Carter brokered in ░░░░░░░░ late 1970s wasn t ░░░░░░░░ a peace deal between ░░░░░░░░ and Egypt its sworn ░░░░░░░░ it was actually a ░░░░░░░░ way deal in which ░░░░░░░░ United States also played ░░░░░░░░ integral role guaranteeing military ░░░░░░░░ economic assistance for these ░░░░░░░░ important partners in the ░░░░░░░░ It was really a ░░░░░░░░ way deal Jonathan And ░░░░░░░░ s exactly what the ░░░░░░░░ Administration was working intensively ░░░░░░░░ throughout 2022 and 2023 ░░░░░░░░ new three way deal ░░░░░░░░ Saudi Arabia Israel and ░░░░░░░░ United States And in ░░░░░░░░ three way deal again ░░░░░░░░ United States would have ░░░░░░░░ provide security guarantees a ░░░░░░░░ term security umbrella for ░░░░░░░░ but also importantly a ░░░░░░░░ term security guarantee for ░░░░░░░░ Arabia Now you referenced ░░░░░░░░ your setup that after ░░░░░░░░ 7th the prospects for ░░░░░░░░ a deal really appear ░░░░░░░░ dim but I actually ░░░░░░░░ that President Carter s ░░░░░░░░ of Arab Israeli peacebuilding ░░░░░░░░ going to come to ░░░░░░░░ I expect that in ░░░░░░░░ and maybe even in ░░░░░░░░ next few months I ░░░░░░░░ forward to seeing potentially ░░░░░░░░ resurrection of this three ░░░░░░░░ peace opportunity between the ░░░░░░░░ States and Saudi Arabia ░░░░░░░░ Israel even if there ░░░░░░░░ not a ceasefire in ░░░░░░░░ CAPEHART And even if ░░░░░░░░ s a change in ░░░░░░░░ BASH I do because ░░░░░░░░ think that with the ░░░░░░░░ Administration creating the Abraham ░░░░░░░░ the peace agreements between ░░░░░░░░ and some of the ░░░░░░░░ Gulf Arab countries including ░░░░░░░░ United Arab Emirates and ░░░░░░░░ three way Saudi Israeli ░░░░░░░░ S deal would really ░░░░░░░░ on the Abraham Accords ░░░░░░░░ think the Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ going to be all ░░░░░░░░ it in the same ░░░░░░░░ Biden Administration was all ░░░░░░░░ it It s a ░░░░░░░░ issue.”
