Foreign Pool #10 - Lid/Quotes

A lid has been called at 8:09pm.

Your domestic pooler will offer Trump quotes from the pre-dinner open press.

As far as Netanyahu, he presented Trump with a letter nominating Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize. Netanyahu has joined by his wife, Sara, along with Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, National Security Advisor Tzachi Hanegbi, Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter, Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman and others whose names I am trying to track down.

Here are some Netanyahu quotes. Please check against video!!!

On a plan for Gaza: "I think President Trump is bringing a vision. It's called free choice. You know, if people want to stay, they can stay, but if they want to leave, they should be able to leave. It shouldn't a prison. It should be open place and give people a free choice. We're working with the United States very closely about finding countries that will seek to realize what they always say they wanted - to give the Palestinians a better future. And those who, and I think we're getting close to finding several countries. And I think this will give again the freedom to choose. Palestinians should have it, and I hope that we can secure it.

On a two-state solution: "I think the Palestinians should have all the powers to govern themselves, but none of the powers to threaten us. That means a certain power, like (unclear audio), will always remain in our hands. Now, that is a fact, and no one in Israel will agree to anything else, because we don't commit suicide. We want life, we cherish life for ourselves, for our neighbors, and I think we can work out a peace between us and the entire Middle East with President Trump's leadership and by working together. I think we can establish a very, very broad piece that will include all our neighbors."
