## Transcript

[00:01] As we gather here, three evolving threats,
[00:06] Iran's continued aggression, a rising
[00:10] tide of extremism across a wide arc of instability,
[00:15] and the growing effort to delegitimize Israel on
[00:20] the world stage. Are converging to make the US
[00:24] Israel alliance more indispensable than ever.
[00:28] [ APPLAUSE ] Yes, we need steady hands, not a president
[00:32] who says he's neutral on Monday, pro Israel on Tuesday
[00:36] and who knows what on Wednesday because everything
[00:40] Things negotiable. [ APPLAUSE ] Well my friends, Israel's
[00:45] security is nonnegotiable. [ APPLAUSE ] The
[00:50] United States should provide Israel with the most
[00:54] sophisticated defense technology so it can
[00:58] deter and stop any threats. That includes bolstering
[01:03] Israeli missile defenses. With new systems like the
[01:07] Arrow III and David's Sling. And we should work together
[01:11] to develop better tunnel detection. Technology to prevent
[01:16] arms smuggling. Kidnapping and terrorist attacks.
[01:20] We must take our alliance to the next level. I
[01:24] hope a new ten year defense memorandum of
[01:27] understanding is concluded as soon as possible to
[01:31] meet Israel's security needs far into the future That
[01:36] will also send a clear message to Israel's
[01:41] enemies that the United States and Israel stand
[01:45] together united. And Palestinian leaders need to stop
[01:49] inciting violence, stop celebrating terrorists as
[01:53] martyrs and stop paying rewards to their families.
